Smriti Irani requests VC to reinstate suspended officials, VC denies suspension

By Priyanka Banerjee June 1, 2014

Since DU is an autonomous institution I have put forth my personal appeal to the VC to reinstate the officials. — Smriti Z Irani (@smritiirani) May 31, 2014 Congress leader Digvijay Singh earlier slammed the Modi government accusing it of “not caring for transparency”. He went on to mock the central government by tweeting, “Achhe din aa gaye hein.”

5 officials of Delhi University suspended for leaking HRD Minster’s educational qualification details!Does this Govt believe in transparency — digvijaya singh (@digvijaya_28) May 31, 2014

After Smriti Irani’s tweet, Digvijay Singh thanked her and asked to her to come clean with her true educational qualification. Irani and her defendants continue to appeal to the masses to judge her by her work and not on the basis of her educational background. Though certain officials from the University issued statements about the suspension, the Vice Chancellor, through a Press Release yesterday, said that “The University has learnt that no suspension order has been issued to any employee of the School of Open Learning”.]]>

The complete guide on preparing for your summer internship

By Priyanka Banerjee May 30, 2014

After weeks of pursuing various contacts, sending out polished cover letters and resumes, and juggling multiple interviews, you’ve finally found yourself the perfect summer internship. Needless to say, you’re excited about the upcoming opportunity, and can’t wait to get a glimpse of the ‘real world’. Plus, the difficult part is over, right? Surely the actual internship won’t be as difficult as getting the HR department of your dream company to open your emails, right? Well, as tough as it might be to bag an ideal internship, the main part of the experience can be slightly challenging too, especially if it’s your first internship! That’s where this guide comes in! Whether you’re taking up a marketing internship or a tech based one, these are some pointers that should help across most departments and industries!

Follow industry related news
Chances are, you already keep an eye out for the important pieces of news around the field you’re planning to intern in. If not, take a look at some of the sites mentioned below:

Interning as an Editorial intern or at a public policy based firm? You may want to check out Kafila.
Working as a tech intern? Say hello to TechCrunch and The Next Web.
Interning at a startup? Head over to YourStory and Trak.in.
Working in the marketing department? Mashable and Mad Over Marketing might interest you. Also, follow Seth Godin’s blog; just do it.

Reading up on industry related news will help you strike up conversations with your peers and seniors, (and participate in them, too!) They’ll also give you a better idea of the issues relevant to the company you’re interning at. You might pick up some ideas and tips while you’re at it, too!

It is of course, imperative to follow the social media profiles of the company you’re about to join.

Make use of LinkedIn (Yes, the site you’ve been avoiding all this while)

Now, most of us made a LinkedIn profile very enthusiastically in our first semester in college, and haven’t logged in since. It’s time to search through your inbox for your LinkedIn password, because this site can help you out immensely (if you know how to make use of it, that is!). Take a look at a few ways of using LinkedIn to prepare yourself for your internship:

You probably know who you’re going to be working under this summer. It’s a good idea to look him/her up on LinkedIn to make a note of their career trajectory. This will help you to gather a few conversation topics and have a few questions about their work experience and educational background in place.
Using the ‘People Also Viewed’ section on the right side of the profile, you could check out the profiles of other people who work at the department. You might not be working under them, but you’ll probably see them around, and hence taking a lot at their profiles isn’t a bad idea at all.
By searching for people who have already interned in the department or company you’re joining this summer, you could connect with a few of them and talk to them about their experience. They might have some handy ‘been there, served coffee’ (just kidding!), tips to give you. Their profiles might also give you ideas for places you could intern next year or during the winter break. Early bird and all that jazz!

Make sure you ask the HR these questions before hand
Before your internship actually starts, it’s important to clear out a few details with the HR department of the company. If you’re working with a small company or start up, they might not have a segregated HR department, in which case, you could talk to the person who handled your application and took your interview. Make a list of questions in advance, so you don’t have to keep sending out emails when you realise that you forgot to ask whether Saturdays are working! It’s important to know your working hours, number of working days in a week, dress code (especially important for larger companies), who you’ll be reporting to on your first day and so on. It might also be a good idea to approach the matter of an internship stipend (tactfully, of course!), just so you’re clear and aren’t left disappointed when you get to know, at the end of your internship, that a certificate and ‘experience’ is all you’ll be getting!

Brush up on your skills
You could use the time between your last exam and the first day of your internship to brush up on a few skills that are bound to come in handy during your internship. Some common tools include Microsoft Excel (yes, you mentioned that in your resume, but do you actually know how to make Pivot Tables?), knowing your way around content creation platforms like WordPress, social media and analytics tools and so on. You’ll find tons of tutorials on Youtube for any tool or platform you may need to use during your internship, so get going!

Be prepared to learn, unlearn and make the most of the experience
This is perhaps the most important step. You might have heard tales of evil bosses and ‘useless’ internships from your seniors, while also coming across those who gushed about how amazing their internships turned out to be. At the end of the day, everyone has varying experiences, and it’s important to take the summer as it comes. You might be saddled with dull work on some days, and be given exciting brainstorming projects on other days; it’s all a part of the experience. Always keep in mind that the main thing you’ll be talking away from the internship is probably the people you’ll meet and interact with. So don’t forget to give your best smile, mingle and learn from others!

Still looking for your dream internship? Take a look at our guide to secure internships this summer!

Admissions 2014

Calculation of Best of Four marks under DU guidelines

By Priyanka Banerjee May 13, 2014

Admission to Delhi University has always been through a student’s Best of Four marks for most courses. This year, the University has released a notice on how students can go about calculating their Best of Four marks from their Class XII Board Exam results. The notice however, did not satisfactorily cover details of calculating the Best of Four marks for those who wish to take up courses like Bachelors in Management Studies and Journalism and Mass Communication.

The Best of Four marks can be broken down as (For courses wherein admission is done on the basis of Best of Four):

One Language (Core/Elective/Functional)
Subject in which admission is sought (Discipline I)
Any two other academic/elective subjects (List of elective/academic subjects as per DU guidelines are given below)

Further guidelines for (A): One Language (Core/Elective/Functional)

1) In case a student has studied both elective and core in any languages, then the core language will be treated as language, while elective language can be considered as academic/elective subject.

2) For those who seek to study a language course, advantage of 2% in the Best of Four percentage may be given to those students who have studied the elective language. 2% disadvantage in the Best of Four percentage may be given to those who have studied functional language only. In case, a candidate has not studied the language at all and is seeking admission in Honours in that language, he/she may be given a disadvantage of 5% in Best of Four percentage.

However, for admission to Honours in English and Hindi, the student must have studied the respective language and must include it in the Best of Four calculation.

Further guidelines for (B): Subject in which admission is sought or Discipline I

The following Discipline I course options are provided by the University. These subjects are treated as academic or elective subjects during admissions. All other subjects are non electives/vocational.

Physics	Chemistry	Botany	Geology
Zoology	Anthropology	Microbiology	Biochemistry
Biomedical Sciences	Mathematics	Statistics	Computer Science
Instrumentation	Food Technology	Psychology	Electronics
English	Hindi	Sanskrit	Arabic
Bengali	Urdu	Persian	Commerce**
Economics	Political Science	History	Geography
Philosophy	Home Science##	Physical Education##	Sociology
Polymer Science	Music##	Punjabi	Social work
French	German	Italian	Spanish

Please note:
1) In case a student hasn’t studied the subject he/she wants to take up as a Discipline I option in Class XII, a disadvantage of 2% may be imposed while calculating the Best of Four marks.

2) ** For Boards like CBSE that don’t offer Commerce as a subject, Accountancy will be treated as equivalent to Commerce.

3) ## If a student wishes to study Honours in Music, Home Science or Physical Education only then can they be used as academic/elective courses.

4) Business Studies and Biology can also be included as academic/elective subjects even though the University doesn’t offer Honours in Business Studies or Biology.

5) All the academic/elective subjects should have at least 70% as theory component, which does not include internal assessment or continuous evaluation. If a paper has more than 30% as non-theory, it will be considered a non elective subject for the purpose of Best of Four calculation.

Further guidelines for (C): Any two other academic/elective subjects

1) In case a student has not studied three academic/elective subjects, then a disadvantage of 10% of the maximum marks may be levied on each such non-elective subject(s) to be included for the calculation of Best of Four percentage.

2) In case a student has studied three academic/elective subjects but wishes to include the percentage of non-elective subject(s) for the calculation of Best of Four, then a disadvantage of 10% of the maximum marks may be levied on each such non-elective subject(s) to be included for the calculation of Best of Four percentage.

3) Those applying for Honours in Economics must include their Mathematics marks in the Best of Four percentage.

4) For Mathematical Sciences/Science courses, no changes have been made. However the subjects to be included for Basis of Selection (PCM/PCB/PCMB) must have at least 70% component of theory exams (theory exam does not include internal assessment/continuous evaluation etc.) in the qualifying exam otherwise a disadvantage of 10% of the maximum marks may be levied on each such subject.

Examples of calculation of Best of Four marks

Preferred Discipline I option	Subjects and marks	Calculation of Best of Four	Best of Four marks
Honours in Commerce	Accounts (90), Business Studies (92), English (88) and Economics (94)	(A) English 88 + (B) Accounts 90 + C) Business studies 92 + Economics 94	91%
Honours in Commerce	Physics (96), Chemistry (92), English (90) and Mathematics (94)	English 90 + Physics 96 + Chemistry 92 + Maths 94 [2% will be deducted as the student has not studied the Discipline I option]	93-2 = 91%
Honours in English	Accounts (90), Business Studies (92), English (88) and Home Science (94)	English 88 + Accounts 90 + Business Studies 92 + Home Science (94-10=84) [10 marks are deducted since Home Science is a non elective subject for all courses except Honours in Home Science]	88.50%
Honours in Commerce	Accounts (88), Entrepreneurship (92), English(90) and Web Designing (94)	English 90 + Accounts 88 + Entrepreneurship (92-10= 82) + Web Designing (94-10=84) [10 marks are deducted since Entrepreneurship and Web Designing are non elective subjects]	86%

DU removes additional criteria by colleges, likely to keep entrance exam for BMS

By Priyanka Banerjee May 9, 2014

Update (20th May): Entrance exam for BMS will be held in 2014 as well. Read this article for further details.

Delhi University released another set of details regarding the admission process to be followed this year. As reported earlier, the University will be issuing only five cut offs for the General category, with the first cut off releasing on June 24. The application forms will be available both online and offline between June 2-16.

According to the latest information given by the officials, the colleges under DU cannot include any additional eligibility criteria this year, to ensure uniformity. This, however, does not apply to minority colleges like St. Stephen’s and Jesus and Mary College. Up until last year, most colleges would impose additional requirements, especially for sought after courses. For example, students who wished to seek admission in Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) for Economics, needed a score of at least 70% in Mathematics in Class XII along with the necessary aggregate score mentioned in the cut off list.

Students who wish to study a subject they did not take up in Class XII, can do so but will lose 2% on their aggregate best of four marks. For the English and Hindi FYUP course, however, students must have studied the respective language in order to pursue them. Those who wish to do Economics are required to have studied Mathematics in school.

Colleges will be allowed to set relaxation in their cut offs for girl students, which is a custom many colleges follow. Last year, colleges like Dyal Singh College and Shaheed Bhagat Singh College offered up to 3% relaxation for girl students applying for various Arts and Commerce.

Entrance exams that were earlier held for courses like Hindi Journalism have been done away with. They will now follow the same admission process as other courses in the University. An entrance exam will most likely be held only for Bachelor of Management Studies, which comes under Faculty of Management Studies in DU and is offered by six colleges in the University. The dates for the same have not been finalised yet.

Apart from these, another newly introduced rule this year will allow students to include vocational subjects in their best of four marks. This comes as good news to many students, given that examination boards like CBSE provide a large number of vocational subjects like Microbiology, Horticulture and Consumer Behaviour. Students can even submit up to three such subjects in their score, though they will face a 10% reduction from the subject with the highest marks, among the vocational subjects included in the best of four aggregate.

Top Societies at Delhi University fests: Hans Raj for Stage Theatre

By Priyanka Banerjee April 5, 2014

Shunya – The Dramatics Society of Ramjas College at the second position with 7 points. The Dramatics societies of SRCC and S.G.T.B. Khalsa share the third place with 5 points each. Undoubtedly, all teams put up spectacular performances that have been appreciated at various fests by the audience and judges alike.

The Winning Society at a glance

Hans Raj Dramatics Society

The Hans Raj Dramatics Society led this year’s fest season with their annual production Holi. The play narrates the happenings of a day in the lives of a bunch of hostel friends Gopal, Ranjit, Srivastav, Laloo, Madhav and Anand among others, who come with all sorts of temperaments and histories. The day starts off with the announcement that they won’t be getting the day off from classes for Holi. The students, who were already dissatisfied with the college’s policies, are angered and things take a turn for the worse when the principal’s nephew is injured in a tiff. What started off as a normal day, changes the students’ entire lives by the end of it. Holi is based on a very well-known script of the same name by playwright, Shri Mahesh Elkunchwar. Revolving around various tangents of college, particularly hostel life, the play has managed to touch a chord with judges and audience alike. Adapting a play that has been performed innumerable times in the theatre circuit and has been turned into a motion picture, was definitely a herculean task for the directors, Purusharth Budhiraja and Anil Kumar. The play was originally written in 1970s and was adapted into a contemporary setting, keeping most of the original characters and creating some new ones along the way. “We at Hansraj believe in promoting good theatre and not focussing on the competitive part of events. This was exactly the theme of our theatre fest this year as well. This year has been a great journey for us, not only have we grown as theatre practitioners, we have also witnessed very high quality contemporary theatre. Irrespective of all the hiccups we faced, however big or small, it was a tremendous learning opportunity and I am sure next year will bring in even better things”, said Purusharth, the society’s President.

Cast and Crew

Cast: Purusharth Budhiraja, Anil Kumar, Abhinav Sharma, Aishwary Rajput, Rajat Katiyar, Kaushal Raj, Parth Paliwal, Nirmal Kothari, Saksham Shukla, Vikrant Verma, Shaman Goel, Shivika Chauhan, Iresh Gupta, Hansa Malhotra, Srishti Babbar, Sahiba Bali. Backstage – Kamal Kishore, Abhishek Mittal, Harshit Joon, Intaquam Hussain. Sound – Gurjot Sidhu. Lights – Aayushi Rathi, Karishma Khullar, Neha Agarwal. Note: The thirteen fests included in our analysis for this series include SRCC’s Crossroads, Gargi College’s Reverie, Sri Venkateswara College’s Nexus, LSR’s Tarang, Hans Raj’s Confluence, I.P. College for Women’s Shruti, Daulat Ram College’s Manjari, Hindu College’s Mecca, Jesus and Mary College’s Montage, Miranda House’s Tempest, Kamala Nehru College’s Ullas, Kirori Mal College’s Renaissance, SGTB Khalsa’s Lashkara. Out of the fests listed, only 6 had conducted a competitive stage theatre event. To collate this tally, the prizes for the best play were taken into consideration. Update: This story earlier listed Ramjas College at the first position in the DU Beat tally. However, after rectifying a computational error that was later pointed out, the Hans Raj Dramatics Society stands at the top. We apologise for the mistake made by the DU Beat team.]]>

KNC's western music competition sees Hansraj, LSR and JMC on top

By Priyanka Banerjee February 21, 2014

th of February in the college’s auditorium, starting from early afternoon and ending around 6 pm. The competition was divided into three categories, namely the solo, duet and group singing competitions. The judges for the event were Peggy Mohan, who teaches western music at Vasant Valley school and Bada Kinty, an alumnus from the college. The competition kicked off with the Solo category, with Kanika Malhotra from Shri Ram College of Commerce taking the stage. In all, there were 15 participants from colleges across Delhi University and a few from other universities too. Arushi Gupta from Gargi College sang ‘Feeling good’ while Jilian from Jesus and Mary College had the audience swinging to ‘Love on top’ by Beyonce. The Duet category had 8 participants with students representing the western music societies of their respective colleges. This category saw some truly beautiful renditions of classic songs like ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’, which was sung by two students from Lady Shri Ram College. Finally, the Group singing category kicked off with SRCC’s western music society, Catharsis taking the stage. They started off by singing the ‘Banana song’ from Despicable Me 2, which was well received by the audience. Their medley too, was energetic with recent hits like Royals by Lorde. Next up were Gargi College and Miranda House with medleys of songs like ‘Bridge over troubled waters’ and ‘Voulez-vous’. CBS’s team, Dhwani had the crowd hooting with a medley of Micheal Jackson hits like ‘Thriller’ and ‘They don’t really care about us’. The audience’s favourite seemed to be team Echo from JMC, for their performance was extremely enthusiastic, with a blend of numerous songs ranging from ‘Footloose’ and ‘Somebody to love’ by Queen to ‘Wings’ by Little Mix. The event came to an end with the judges talking about the various criteria used for evaluation. ‘Anything that wakes the judges up is way ahead of the pack already!’ said Peggy Mohan. After that, the results were finally declared. Nirupan Sinha from Hansraj College came first in the Solo category, followed by Sri Aurobindo College and Hanita Bhambri from CBS. The Duet competition saw LSR bag the first prize while Sri Aurobindo College and Kamala Nehru College came second and third respectively. The Group category was won by Echo from JMC, followed by Dhwani from CBS and Crescendo from Sri Venkateswara College. SRCC’s group performance also received a Special Mention by the judges.
