Well I wont say DU degree ins’t valuable, it is if you compare it with other Indian Universities. When you will tell people in general that you are from DU, they will be in all-praise for you but if you are DU student you know, DU has two poles apart type of college in its kitty.
A graduate from St. Stephens, Hindu, SRCC, Hansraj will have a very big and different clout than a graduate from Swami Shradhanand, Satyawati, Deshbandhu etc. So when it comes to job, a graduate will have a upper hand if he/she is from those North Campus or Cream famous college. But its just a little upper hand, of course knowledge matters the most and being myself a DU student I can tell its not of so high standard, something on which we can be proud of. One realize that after 1st year only.
When it comes to Global level, DU degree doesn’t hold much value and prestige because when we DU graduate compete at Global Level, we realize our real standard pretty fast and easily.
So yeah DU degree have some clout but not so much to be the best world famous tag. if you have some sound knowledge of your course, you can get a OK OK job on the basis of your DU tag. But yeah to be exceptional in Academics and from SRCC, Hindu etc, will have much much better advantages.
