IIT Delhi is one of the finest colleges in India. The students in India who study for competitive exams in science always aspire to get into this top IIT. A college is always counted at the top of the league, depending on various factors. Some of the factors that determine the level and the league of the college are that the number of seats in a particular college, the quality of students and professors coming, the level of the entrance exam that one has to clear to get into the college and finally whether the college is government-aided or it is a private college. 

Now to get into the depth of these factors, if the number of seats is enormous in a particular college in any branch or a particular field, then the number and quality of students increase and decrease. Hence, the number of seats has to be kept in control if the college level is to be maintained as if the number of seats rises, then the students would not persist that keen interest in that particular college. Now, suppose a student has worked very hard and has now finally entered his or her dream college.

In that case, he or she will expect the fact that the fellow students who will be studying with him or she will have the same number of concepts cleared and the same amount of knowledge and the professors’ quality will also be outstanding. The professors will be helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and caring and will also cater to all the student’s doubts. 

More the difficulty of the entrance exam, more will be the effort required to clear that particular exam and obviously if the effort is a lot and also is long-lasting then the person will enjoy the fruit of the hard work for the rest of his life rather than regretting the fact that he or she could not put in the efforts that were required at that particular time.

One more important point is that the reason that the best colleges in a country have minimal seats for every high demanded branch is that the management of that college will never want to compromise on the quality of the students that come to get the education, these people care about the quality more than the quantity more, and that is a very sunny aspect for the other colleges also which tend to follow this particular rule in some way. 

It is also a very well-known fact that all the government-aided colleges are given more facilities, recognition and promise than the colleges which are not government-aided or private colleges, it is because these colleges do not take any random number of admissions and always stick to the seat matrix which the college is provided, these colleges like to select the students who have a minimum amount or even a certain number of skills.

The most critical and exciting fact about government colleges is that the fees of these colleges are already very minimal. So, the fees of these colleges do not act as a mental strain or a mental burden on the parents of the children. The fees are less as all the things given or dispersed by the college are funded by the government, and hence all the fees taken from the students go into the development of the college and other things such as canteens, hostels and washrooms. 

In this article, we will talk about the PhD degree given at the IIT Delhi. So, the PhD is a degree that is considered the highest form or level of study one can complete in a particular domain. The PhD stands for Doctorate of Philosophy, and the worth of this study is considered to be so much that a person is called a doctor after completing the degree.

This degree takes around six to eight years to finish. There are plenty of benefits that one gets if he or she is pursuing an extended degree, one example is that if the person is in a part-time course, then that person only has to devote around twenty to thirty hours of study per week. It is possible to do and complete other things side by side also.
