Delhi University is known for its varied and vibrant societies. Apart from academics, these societies give a much-needed respite, as they allow room for proliferation of one’s own  interests. You can be your own muse while you decide which path to follow, as our very own university has a lot to offer.
While some societies elevate and preserve your already acquired talent, there are others which give you a glimpse of the real world. The Entrepreneurship Cell is one society which ensures carving out the hidden entrepreneur in the students eyeing a lucrative position in the corporate world.
Here are some of the Best Entrepreneurial societies to look out for in DU:
