Bachelor of Arts (B.A. Hons.) - Batch of 2025

DAV College, the life of youngsters.

Placements: I haven't passed out yet but my seniors have got placed. Not only by passing but also by finding out their ambitions through clubs.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure to be honest is pretty basic and quite old, but the canteen food is fabulous. Hostel life is pretty interesting and affordable too. College offers many places for students to chill out inside the campus. The overall environment is pretty chill.

Faculty: Teachers are pretty supportive but only if students are sincere and cooperative with them. To be honest, they just ask students to be available regularly, and there's not much they ask for. Exams are pretty easy. There are mid-sem tests and then finals.

2Placements2Infrastructure3Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

A great college.

Placements: Companies like Concentric, etc., visit the college. The highest salary package offered is 3 LPA. I have already been working with a salary package that is higher than what I would earn with just a 12th-grade education since the first semester. I don't believe that the degree offers good value for the money. Students pay a significant amount and spend three years in the program, only to end up earning the same as someone with just a 12th-grade diploma.

Infrastructure: I don't stay in the hostel, so I do not have any idea about it. The infrastructure is not good. Desks are not comfortable at all. Wi-Fi is not available for everyone. The library is quite good. Some rooms have walls and ceilings with holes in them. For sports, it took 3 years to replace the basketball court.

Faculty: Teachers are great. The teaching quality is great. They are supportive in every aspect. Exams are not difficult. Students have to study for 1 week per subject. The course does not make students industry-ready. I am working already, and I know how it is.

Other: I chose this college but I don't know why, but I loved it so far. It's average, but I still love it.

Dissatisfied with the quality, otherwise a good option.

Placements: We were not assured for placements, and hence, not provided with any. But I assume there could be placement guarantee for the students in business and commerce related courses. Bachelor of Arts does not assure of any such thing. The teachers can guide you otherwise.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are okay. Some classrooms need renovation, otherwise they are fine. The labs are well maintained. Library needs an updation for the books as those are too old editions. The college canteens are price and the food is not up to the mark, but an alternative to them could be eateries nearby. Medical facility isn't upto the mark, however an ambulance for the hostelers has been brought recently.

Faculty: Some of the teachers are serious and regular, while most of them are not. The curriculum is interesting. It is easy to score in internal tests, but scoring in final exams is a little difficult due to the uncertain checking by the University. You might not be able to score high, but can easily pass the semester exams.

Other: The college fests are rare and disorganised. However, college clubs can be a good forum for you to connect with similar people and make friends. Scholarships are available and easily accessible. Extracurricular activities take place once in a while.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Batch of 2027

I am totally satisfied with the faculty, quality of content delivered and experienced teachers.

Placements: 78% of students in my course got placed. The highest package offered was 68 lacs per annum, and the lowest was 30 lacs. The top recruiters were in the geography, research, and education fields.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is good, including the labs, Wi-Fi, and library. The hostel provides good quality food and offers Wi-Fi facilities, a mess, a canteen, a medical room, and a gym for physical fitness. The college also has a counseling cell for discussing serious problems in our personal life.

Faculty: The faculty are good, the quality of content delivered, and the experienced teachers. The teachers are very helpful, talented, qualified, and knowledgeable. The curriculum is valid and updated, and the semester exams are of average difficulty. To pass the exams, we need to score at least 33%.

Other: I chose this course because I got my graduation degree from the PU-affiliated college. The best thing is the quality content and emerging field. The way of teaching should be updated with the current trends.

A college that produces leaders.

Placements: According to previous records, more than 70–80 percent of children get placed through college. Companies like TCS , Infosys, Infotech, Tata , Mahindra and many more offer job opportunities. The average package is 3.5–4 lpa. Most of the students are also provided with internships . Roles offered in our course are marketing and sales executive, banking jobs and many more.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is average, according to me . WiFi facility is provided to hostelers. The classrooms are neat but can be improved. The college has a decent library but it's air conditioned. Our college is popular for sports activities and many popular sportsmen are passed out from our college. Food is provided to hostelers, which is average. Our college has medical facilities and also has an ambulance always available in college.

Faculty: The college faculty is highly qualified and very helpful in nature. All the staff members are very knowledgeable and specialized in their respective subjects. The course curriculum is relevant, which includes subjects of marketing, law , accounting, and economics. There are missemester tests and final exams (conducted by Panjab University).

Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) - Batch of 2026

2.8

4Placements2Infrastructure4Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Small Campus and Crowded.

Placements: In BCA, we usually have a batch of around 150 students every year. Regarding placements, only a few students with strong skills secure positions in companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc. The highest package recorded was 21 LPA, possibly from D. E. Shaw, and the average package ranges from 2.5 to 3 LPA. The college does not provide any internships.

Infrastructure: The college has more than five computer labs, with internet working only in 1 to 2 labs. The rest of the labs could be considered outdated. Wi-Fi is almost negligible. Classrooms are decent, and some are equipped with projectors, specifically in the computer science department. The college library is quite good, with proper ACs, and it even has an outer reading hall for those who prefer studying with their own books. I haven't stayed in the hostel. There are two canteens, one juice bar, and one Nescafe. The prices in the canteen are expensive, and the food is decent but always crowded. Regarding sports, the campus has a cricket ground with nets, a basketball court (with one broken backboard), a volleyball court, and a gymnasium, as well as a volleyball court that is always closed.

Faculty: Teachers regularly come to class and teach. The teaching quality is sufficient for making notes with the help of teachers. You don't need to worry about the faculty staff (at least for BCA, they are good). Regarding the course curriculum and preparing students for the industry, you need to hustle yourself and work hard to secure a job because the college may not teach you the right skills. Stay updated on the current technology used in the industry and learn by doing. The pass percentage is 40% in semester exams.

Other: I have a passion for coding—not the theoretical stuff but the practical side. The subjects are the most interesting aspects of the course (subjects like C programming, C+, DBMS, Java, computer organization, web development, etc.). You will study such subjects throughout the course. The campus is quite crowded (which I dislike), washrooms are often a mess, sometimes water coolers do not work in summers, and the campus is not very big.
