Compared to private universities such as Amity, Ashoka, or OP Jindal, DU’s exams are relatively traditional and theory-heavy. Private institutions generally emphasize continuous evaluation through quizzes, presentations, open-book tests, and practical projects. This makes their system more skill-based, while DU still leans on rote learning and pen-paper exams.However, DU nightlife is not only about food and cafés. Many students also engage in late-night study groups, cultural society rehearsals, and informal gatherings at hangout spots like Ridge Road or India Gate. College fests often extend into the evening, adding to the nightlife vibe. That said, safety is a concern, especially for women. While the main student zones are well-lit and crowded, nearby isolated areas can feel unsafe at night. Public transport options become limited late in the evening, pushing students toward cabs or autos, which adds to costs.

Campus Life: A major concern students have is the unpredictability of paper patterns. Question papers may not always reflect the syllabus weightage evenly, and some subjects lean heavily on rote learning rather than conceptual understanding. Evaluation is another point of criticism — marking can be inconsistent across colleges, and revaluation is often a slow, frustrating process. Delays in result declarations are also common, creating uncertainty for students applying to higher studies or jobs.
