Some of us have never experienced life inside these beautiful walls while some of us have made memories for a lifetime!
Nevertheless, DCAC holds a special place in our hearts. Our Mini and Buddy, the corridors, the canteen area, whole DCAC is empty without us.
To revive the feeling of being at college, here's a glimpse of DCAC for those who've never experienced life at DCAC and for those who're missing this place and feeling nostalgic.
But remember, whatever happens,
"Don't Stress, You Flawless!"✨

“I am half-way through the journey of three years in DCAC. Luckily (or unluckily), a major part of this college life was spent at home due to the pandemic.

The first day of my college life wasn't that interesting but as the days passed by, I interacted more with my colleagues and now, they are my friends and they make my days better. The real fun started when I joined the societies NSS and Adroit.

Apart from my classmates, I met people from various courses when I joined NSS. I had a really great time with the Tanzeal children and the volunteers. I hope I see them all again soon.

College became my second home as staying away from family is really tough (as I am not a Delhiite). Even though I attended college for hardly for 5-6 months, it holds a special place in my heart. I am waiting for the college to reopen, so that I can create more memories.”

“I always thought of clicking a picture on my farewell at my favourite spot of DCAC "IT'S NAME".
CORONA DIDN'T LET IT HAPPEN.
Writing something about college journey makes me remind is it even worth it? I mean I don't think I have done anything of any sort what I thought I'll do before entering college life.
I belong to a small town Neemuch (M.P.) , people here don't have audacity of exploring themselves. I did, my family supported me, I'll be always thankful for the opportunity.
I was not a bright kid since forever. I could never dream of DU. An average student who used to find a way to not study. The worst years of my life (2012-2014) I was into a very wrong track, could never imagine now.

Life turned out pretty well in 11th standard (2015). I really have no idea what happened to me but some kind of inner voice spelt it inside me to study hard and have a goal, to become someone. From being an average student, I saw my name in toppers. I couldn't be any happier to see my parents get proud of me. I passed out my last two (golden) years of my school life with great grades living with hope and happiness.

Economics have been my interest since class 10th and I am really happy to be at a place I dream of.
DCAC, DU is the place I could never forget. I mean college days are something where a person grows and experience ( good or bad). Such beautiful days, aren't they? The place Delhi which was itself an adventure to me and gave me such incredible memories to live on forever. I, internally a kid, now a very mature person inside out. Initially I was frightened entering a place I have to be in for 3 years. People there made it so easy for me to be myself. I met some amazing friends in college, they made me learn new things, they let me explore the part of myself I lacked in school. I got to meet some amazing teachers and never thought college professors are so phenomenal.

From batchmates, to seniors, to juniors I've learned a lot from them, being it anything, they have been always there for me. The place gave me a bunch of special ones and some never ending memories with all of them. They are very close to my heart and I love them so much.

"Okay, let’s be honest here, I was not considering this post because I thought I have not done anything worth putting a post about, or like, it’s too soon to do this, but then I realized every story, no matter how small or weird, does teach you something. So, here it is, my three-year learnings assembled in few words.

I entered my college life in broken pieces. I didn’t know who I am. I was completely unaware of what my capabilities, or my strengths are. All I knew was that I am here to learn, experience and evolve. And, DCAC gave me the opportunities to do a lot more than what I had planned. It was a journey from being somebody burdened with insecurities about herself to somebody who smiled every time she looked in the mirror.

It was not easy, but it was enjoyable and satisfactory. With each additional pinch of confidence that came in, life started seeming so much better than before. I changed a lot. I was changing at a rate that my mom was sick of me discarding all recently bought clothes every next semester. And, honestly, I was loving it. That happened because of people in here, who are so supportive, caring and above all, they make you feel like home.

I’ve known such beautiful people here; I just can’t appreciate them enough. Be it my seniors, friends or juniors. I’ve learned from them by observing, listening, and sometimes directly discussing stuff with them. I used to try to pick up good things from their behaviors. You never know who can end up teaching you what. In college, it’s not just the professors who teach you. Every single person you meet, teaches you something. You just need to keep learning.

I learned how to accept myself, acknowledge all my weaknesses and then work on them to be better. I discovered my strengths and polished them. I learned to let go of things I thought I needed, but I really didn’t. I learned to value my own opinions and believe in them more than anyone else. I learned how to be unapologetically, completely ME. Because all you have is YOU. Your choices and decisions define you.

"I was born in Delhi and got admission in DU.
In the 4th cut-off, I got into Aurobindo College and spent a month there. I moved to DCAC in the 7th cut-off. I was terrified about interacting with people. It was not easy for me to re-settle in a new college because I was very introverted.

I still remember the first day of college. I didn't talk to anyone and sat alone. When I reached home, I told my family that I never wanted to go back to college again.

I am a punctual person. I used to attend lectures on time, and visit the library whenever I was free. It may sound boring to others but I liked it.

I was late in joining Vyapaar. From the beginning I knew the heads as they were my classmates. I worked with them and got appreciated.
Gradually, I started interacting with people, which was a big step for me.

I was interested in business and that's why after some time, I applied for the position of a head in Vyapaar. I was selected as the Creative Head, which was a big success for me. Thank you, Vyapaar, for believing in me and giving me a chance.

I also joined NSS Project Tanzeal. It is one of the best societies. For me, working at different platforms and exploring my capabilities is productivity.

Now I am at the edge of the end of 3 years without a farewell.

Through my journey, I found a better version of myself and made some good friends who made my college life blissful."

"Pride colours smeared on cheeks, heart beating wildly as you shout and hold a placard that says- Q***r Rights are Human Rights. This is what the students must have felt when they celebrated Supreme Court's historic judgement on 6 September, 2018.

Q***r identities have always existed, and will always exist despite q***rphobia. How do you make the world a better place for qu**rs? You start with small steps. You start from your educational institution and you spread awareness there for acceptance and you make sure you create q***r-friendly spaces in your peer group.

DCAC has always been home to open-minded individuals who are kind, caring and empathetic. Yes, there must be some q***rphobes, but none that we think would choose ignorance over acceptance.

On 6 September, 2018, the Supreme Court of India passed a historic verdict partially revoking IPC Section 377 and making homosexuality legal. To celebrate this, the students of DCAC had covered the whole college with rainbows. There was a pride parade and students did not shy from talking about q***r rights. Songs were sung, spirits were high, and the whole college bathed in pride colours.

This National Q***r Liberation Day, let us remember that the partial decriminalization of Section 377 is a small victory. Q***rphobia is still rampant. Crimes against qu**rs are on the rise. There is still a long way to go.

Today, let's check our privilege, and keep all q***r folx and the atrocities they have to face regularly in mind while we celebrate this small victory."

Happy 6 September.🏳️‍🌈❤️✊

Also, a big thanks to from the core of our hearts for sharing these pictures with us and inspiring us to share this today and also to the team .dcac for this beautiful and insightful writeup. More power to y'all🏳️‍🌈❤️

" वह भी क्या दिन थे"

My journey in DCAC started when I migrated in the second year. I was fortunate to have found a good bunch of people. I joined ROKDA which turned my college life to one of the best times I have ever had. DCAC gave me a platform for participating in various events across colleges in DU. It brought a sense of attachment and belongingness, a realisation that this is the time when I can put all efforts to upgrade my skills and improve my personality.

In my final year, I became the EB of Rokda, and I can say that third year of DCAC was the best time I have ever had. I got to meet the best people and was fortunate enough to call them friends and make some incredible memories. I'm sure that whoever has attended DCAC has some unique experience of their own and that's the beauty of this college. It is a small college, but students graduate with a bundle of find memories.

DCAC taught me leadership, loyalty, true friendship, how to cherish every moment, face challenges and most importantly, be confident about yourself and content with what you have. Value this phase of undergraduate studies.

To all those who are currently in DCAC, I know the pandemic has hit hard on college life of many but this too shall pass, jitne maze karne hai kar lo kyunki jis din final exam hoga aur ghar jaoge uss din nahin lagta kuch but jab wapas college shuru ho jata hai aur aapko nahin jana hota hai college tab lagta hai aur tab apne aapko kahoge -" काश थोड़ा और समय मिल जाता।"

It has been 3 years since I graduated from DCAC. All my friends have gone on separate ways. We still talk on the class WhatsApp group. Where we once used to talk about mass bunks, we now talk about our lives.

I thank all the people who were a part of my DCAC journey and hope to see you all succeed in life .🙌

"I have always been more connected to my teachers but also I didn't have much friends. You can find the contact of a teacher of my 1st grade in my phone but rarely any contact of my classmate. I always had one answer when someone asked me what I want to become - "A social worker". I want to work for the people, I want to serve my nation. Gladly, my answer to this question is still the same.
Being a UPSC aspirant, I first got enrolled in Pol Science Hons at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College but being a commerce student I felt that one month so depressing and doubtful. I was meant to come to DCAC. Luckily, I was eligible to get admission after a month and here I was not taking any chance and got myself into B.Com.
We all dream of having a cool college life with so many friends and having fun all the time. But the fear of wasting my time got into my head and I was never able to open up myself. I used to cry everyday and the only place that knew my presence was "library". I also joined NSS to channelise my energy and efforts into something positive but it also couldn't help me much. My whole DCAC journey was very difficult for me. I cried many times but I never left hope and tried until very last moment. Though I couldn't find my dreamy college life but it doesn't mean I didn't have friends. I have met some of the super sweet souls here.
I have always loved to debate, dance and sing as well. But I was never able to flaunt those skills even when I loved to. It's probably because I had started to question myself almost on everything, which I know now was so wrong of me to do. I was never like this before and fortunately I'm not now since the last one year. It was just a phase which has passed. I wish I had giggled a little bit more but I know it was difficult for me back then and this overthinking mind of mine sucked.
Now I have learnt "how enough I am". I'm proud of my little "tricolour" batch (🇮🇳). It has made everyone greet me with "Jai Hind" and "Bharat Mata". That batch has been my saviour always.
Always remember that you're evolving even in your bad times. You are ENOUGH always."

"College. The so-called demo simulation of the real world out there. School time was awesome but there's something special about the ones we meet in college. There's something extra satisfying about having people around you, suffering together through society, politics, peer pressure, projects, exams and presentations.
From ranting about "What I am doing in this college" to "Do I need to leave this place so soon?" From my coldest hello to my warmest goodbye, DCAC has been a beauty. It has made me evolve as a person, a strong, unapologetically ferocious person. From being Ms. Hawa Hawaii to Ms. Contagious Laugh, DCAC has definitely given me infinite memories."

"Being a mediocre student, I never in my life thought of getting enrolled in DU and nor I was that motivated. But I had a watershed moment that totally revamped me to get into DU. It all started when one of my relatives looked down upon me saying that I’m not born for colleges like DU and would end up being in one of the lousy private colleges. He dismayed the hell out of me. Nevertheless, I stick it out and took his evil words as a challenge. Eventually, I ended up getting good grades in boards despite having rough patch in my life and triggering anxiety issues. That ecstasy was priceless when I finally got enrolled in DU and was eligible for almost every top tier colleges. I’m grateful that relative motivated me the way no one would ever do I guess. No matter how hard the challenges are, once I set my mind on something there’s no looking back. I cracked JAT too with a great rank. But, since I was told that ‘terse nhi ho payega and DU ke courses tere bass ke nahi hai ‘ my vigour for taking challenges opted the toughest course that's 'Eco Hons.' (on the basis of cut off), if only I knew that it’s brutally packed with MATHS. Anyway, I managed to pursue it whatsoever.
Talking about my college life, it was not that cool which I thought of. I hardly had any friend in 1st sem. Since, I’m an introvert to the core my classmates still judge me as an arrogant person. But it’s just that I’m too awkward to take initiative first.
The best part of my college journey is my society “MY STYLUS". The society which totally transformed my personality that I’d forever be indebted to. I always had an immense love for makeup but I never acknowledged enough considering it as a career option. But coming to college and seeing girls dolled up, unleashed the inner makeup artist in me. Stylus is the foremost reason I became a creater on Instagram. Everyone in the society praises my work that make me more confident and overcome my insecurities as a person. I wish I could work with this society forever but as said ‘nothing lasts forever’. Challenges only make me stronger than ever and it can’t break me down."
