NEW DELHI: A course that will fetch you a job, and fast! That, in short is the mantra that most students hunting for a seat in Delhi University's various colleges seem to be following these day. They may not have the marks to make it to the most popular course on the campus, but as long as they can pursue a part-time course or get a job by the end of their third year, it really doesn't seem to matter. "I have got 74 per cent and I know I may not make it to any of the major courses. But as long as I can get admission to a course that will help me get a job at the end of my graduation I am happy,'' said Mukta, a New Era Public School student, who had come to attend the Open Day session at Hindu College on Friday. With market dynamics being the prime concern, most parents too want their children to opt for a course that will make them reliable faster. "I don't know anything about the new courses and have been trying to gather information for my daughter. She wanted to do Psychology but her scores were not as good as expected. What I really want is a course that will help her become self-reliant as soon as possible,'' was how an anxious mother attending the Open Day put it. Strangely enough, a majority of the students were blank when it came to knowing about the course of their choice. Urja Bindal, who passed out of Springdale School with an aggregate of 84 per cent, also attending the same Open Day, was looking for information on English (Honours) as she did not see any prospect of her getting a place in the Science courses. "I don't know anything about the restructured B.Sc. (General) course. As far as we know, only the name has changed,'' is what the girl had to say. University officials, while admitting that most students are yet to gain information about the courses, feel the confusion will clear once the students go through the information bulletin to be sold with the ICR admission application forms.
