It’s been over a decade now and the vogue of ‘add-on’ certificate courses offered at Delhi University’s
Colleges and Centres still dominates. The trend started with just couple of course at SGTB Khalsa College
and Miranda House around 2006. Today, more than half-a-dozen of DU Colleges offers vocational and
skill-based certificate courses that are open to all (with no concerns over class 12th marks).
With limited seats available in full-time regular courses, the students aspiring to study in DU can also
consider to enroll in these pocket-friendly certificate courses which hold market value. The classes for
such certificate courses are usually held after regular college hours making it convenient for a full-time
student from DU or other universities to pursue the certificate courses simultaneously.
From becoming an actor, filmmaker, photographer to a digital marketing expert, DU has got it all.
Popular courses to enroll are at Hansraj College that offers add-on courses in Acting, Filmmaking, Mass
Communication, Advertising, Radio Jockeying, Anchoring & Television Journalism.
Next in the league are Jesus & Mary College (JMC), Bharati College & Kalindi College that offers
courses in Media Studies, Advertising & Marketing, Photography, Films & TV Production, Direction and
Photojournalism. Except at JMC, all other colleges programs are co-educational in natures.
Other skill based programs offered by Campus of Open Learning includes Digital & Social Media
Marketing, Theatre Acting, Fine Arts, Interior Design, Graphic Design and Animation (2D & 3D).
The admissions for 2018 session are now open and direct (on first-come-first-served basis). Forms and
details can be obtained by visiting the respective campus or from their official websites. Students may
also contact or WhatsApp their queries at helpline number 09312237583.
