Department that aspiring DU leaders prefer

The Department of Buddhist Studies at Delhi University has become a hub for student politics, with many winners of student union elections studying there. This trend has continued despite the department not being a top choice for courses, suggesting that students have more time for politics due to its less demanding nature. However, officials and student outfits claim that the choice of course does not directly reflect an interest in politics. The department offers multidisciplinary courses and is popular among foreign students, although job prospects may not be high.
