Cluster Innovation Centre, University of Delhi

Admission: The professors here are really experienced and they've worked in different areas. They teach us stuff that's super important for the real world. But, the workload can be a lot sometimes and it can get pretty tough.

Placement: At CIC, there aren't any set job placements. It's really up to us students to decide what we want to do later on. Some go for a Master's abroad or at top schools in India like Tiss, JNU, DU, or IITs. But, some students have landed offers from places like Ficci, Gandhi Fellowship, Niti Aayog, UN, and NDTv India. They worked hard on their skills, did internships, and built connections to get there.

Campus: The faculty and buildings here are really top-notch. We've got great Wi-Fi, awesome classrooms, yummy food in the canteen, a huge library, big conference halls, a cricket field, and even a gym. If you want, you can stay at Delhi University hostels. Girls can usually get a spot easily, but guys might have a tougher time since there aren't as many seats for them.

Admission: The teachers here are really experienced and nice, and they know how to teach well. The curriculum is great and prepares us for the industry. We have exams twice a year, but they're not too hard to pass.

Placement: Our batch is really close-knit and supportive. Almost 80% of students in our course get placed every year. The college offers a package of 26LPA and the average package is 10.5LPA. Many companies like HCL and Meesho visit our college for placements, and about 90% of us get internships in different companies. Our course includes Mathematical Innovation and Information Technology.

Campus: The college has really nice buildings and surroundings. We have Wi-Fi in classrooms and labs. The hostel is awesome great food, clean, and a good canteen. There's also a big sports area with lots of games like cricket and football.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and are super helpful. They all have over 5 years of teaching experience, which is awesome. They make sure we're ready for the industry.

Placement: The college doesn't have a placement cell, so students have to look for jobs off-campus. The highest salary offered is around 31 LPA. Big companies like Google, Microsoft, and Zomato, as well as startups, come to hire students. Almost everyone gets internships in places like Google and DRDO. Only a few students, about 40, actually get placed through campus placements. But everyone gets chances to do internships, which is cool.

Campus: The college has awesome infrastructure. Wi-Fi is available, classrooms are air-conditioned, and there's a library for all DU students. Not all students get a hostel, only some toppers in the entrance exam. They have medical facilities and sports are allowed. It's pretty cool.

Admission: At CIC, they have this cool course called B.A Hons humanities and social sciences. You get to pick papers from different DU colleges every semester. It's interdisciplinary, which is a plus. You can study what you like from any college and any discipline. But the admin stuff can be a headache. Rules keep changing, especially with COVID-19. Our grades are late, and not many colleges even know about CIC. The teachers are okay, only teach for 2 semesters (1st and 5th), plus an extra paper for the other 4 semesters. The projects are kinda limited. CIC has potential if they get their admin act together. The course is good for the future and lines up with what NEP suggests.

Placement: CIC doesn't have a placement cell. So, at the end of the course, your internship can lead to a job. CIC's unique interdisciplinary course and innovation make a difference. You can apply for internships with CIC's partner companies or even DU colleges for more options. There's no guarantee of a job, but the college's reputation can help you land a better one if you put in the effort.

Campus: CIC is the only college where PG students can stay in DU hostels. Only the top 5 students in each class can get a room, with 2+1+2 seats reserved. It's not guaranteed, though. Most students don't get in, except for a few lucky ones. The classrooms are nice, but the AC and elevators are broken and haven't been fixed. The administration is a mess. The building looks good, though. The library is okay, but it doesn't have many books. We don't get our own Wi-Fi. There's one router, but we don't know the password.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff when it comes to start-ups, projects, internships, and research. The curriculum focuses on practical stuff, which is cool. We don't have mid sem exams, which is a relief. Instead, we do projects and assignments for grades. End sem exams are not too tough, and they help us learn the important stuff.

Placement: At CIC, there's no placement cell, so internships and opportunities are more about learning than good pay. But since we have time to work on skills, we can land well-paying jobs. Many students opt for higher education, while some seniors score nice 16-18 LPA packages.

Campus: I wish CIC had a hostel, but you can stay in other college hostels. Because of this, hostel life might not be great on campus. The course is cool because it mixes management as a minor subject, which is helpful for seeing things from different angles. The classrooms are really modern and cozy.

Admission: The teachers here are top-notch. They really help us out and know their stuff. The way they teach us is spot-on. Our college has a cool course setup that gets us ready for the real world. It's awesome for getting us ready for jobs.

Placement: The college doesn't have job assistance, but you learn a lot about your major. If you study hard, you can pass any tests a company throws at you. I'd give it 4 stars since they don't help with job placements.

Campus: Our college doesn't have a boys hostel, but finding a girls hostel is easy. The labs and campus are really good, and the whole place has Wi-Fi. We can use all the Delhi University facilities too, like the library.

Admission: The teachers are really knowledgeable and always ready to help. You can easily reach out to them on your own. All the professors are easy to contact, including the Director of CIC who is super nice and friendly with students. The course setup is cool too  you get to visit different colleges for different subjects.

Placement: At Cluster Innovation Centre (CIC), placements are not a thing. It's hard to find internships here compared to other Delhi University colleges. They say you won't need placements if you go to CIC.

Campus: The campus here is awesome! Almost every room has AC, and the building looks nice. There's a library, labs, open spaces, and common areas all with AC too. It's really calm here, not too crowded. The hostel they give us is nice too, with good food.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and really go out of their way to help us. They teach in a practical way that makes everything easy to understand. They explain every little thing in depth. The semesters can be tough, with most students needing to get at least an 80% to pass.

Placement: The college offers an average package of 10 LPA. Around 70% of students get placed, and there are plenty of internships available. Many students also go overseas for research and studies.

Campus: The college has great infrastructure. The classrooms are clean and close by, plus the whole place is air-conditioned. Food quality is top-notch, and we even have lifts to move between floors easily. The sports facilities are awesome too.

Admission: The teachers here are top-notch, with degrees from big schools like MIT, Harvard, and IIT. What sets this place apart are the smart students and great teaching. The vibe here is all about pushing each other to do our best. Everyone's into tech, research, and startups. It's a cool place to be if you're into that stuff.

Placement: CIC isn't great for job seekers. They don't have a campus placement cell, just an industry outreach cell. The focus is on research and entrepreneurship. The number of research papers published by CIC students is amazing. Many students go on to study at top institutions like MIT, Harvard, and Stanford. The research paper ratio is higher than most IITs. Not everyone goes into research or startups though. Some students do off-campus placements and they seem to be doing well, according to seniors I've talked to.

Campus: The college has a cool place called the Design Innovative Center. It's got office space with 3D printers and stuff. There's also an Energy Lab and a Math Lab for students to work and do research. The whole college is air-conditioned, which is nice. Right in front, there's a big stadium where the India U17 team practiced during the FIFA U17 World Cup. You can meet lots of people from different colleges. There's also Hindu College, Shri Ram College, Ramjas, St. Stephen's, and more nearby. The campus has Wi-Fi everywhere, which is great.

Admission: The teachers and staff here are really smart and caring. They help us with everything, not just school stuff. I think the classes could be a bit better organized, though.

Placement: Around 40 of us are in the same group. The college doesn't have a placement cell, but lots of us got cool internships during and after our studies. Some of our friends from college are studying in different universities worldwide.

Campus: I think CIC has the coolest buildings out of all the colleges in Delhi University. They have everything you need like Wi-Fi, computer labs, and big classrooms. CIC doesn't have its own dorms, but they set you up in safe hostels around the University of Delhi.
