ASPIRANTS' SPEAK

By

Karan and Abhishek

A day almost all the school pass-outs felt they so needed to brave the heat and lay their hands on the freshly printed Delhi University’s prospectus along with the Application form which were on sale from then on.

With some students scoring lofty digits in individual subjects and percentages touching the sky in the Board Results and some merely calculating and re-calculating their scores in four best subjects, the scene at Delhi University’s campuses was rather an amalgamation of joy, excitement, nervousness, hope and insecurity.

Amongst others, Charmi from New State Academy, Delhi said: "I am excited and looking forward to a complete change in personality if I get through in DU. It seems to me like a refreshing place and definitely has it's own tag and market value." We also spoke to a few tech-savvy teenagers like Shweta Garg who felt the campuses were otherwise "wonderful" but they needed to be "WiFi enabled zones".
