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

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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).

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.

Satisfied with the college, according to the fee structure.

Placements: There are very few placements I really like going to the college; they can improve by putting air conditioners in. I have not seen any placements in this college till now I don't know about Punjab University since our college comes under Punjab University.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. The food quality available in the canteen is good. I don't know about hostels but the SCA council do work and tries to maintain everything. It is till now the best college I have seen and I really like going to the college. They can improve by putting air conditioners in.

College good for UG courses

Placements: Dav college Chandigarh is famous for its ug courses and many of the students who take admissions here do not prefer to go for placements afterwards rather they for MCA and many of them have their family businesses. Last year many students got package of 11 LPA, many got 6 LPA and two students got an offers of 23 LPA but they all got this from off - campus placement derives. We do have an placement cell but you can expect a maximum of 6 LPA only.

Infrastructure: The facilities are very supportive, they provide you in and out of the college if we ask for and put in their 100% to teach their respective subjects. Our college has wifi facility, smart classrooms but only for some of the courses. We have an well equipped library known as Lal Chand Library having multiple floors with multiple sections. We have two canteen, two coffee spaces and juice corners.

Faculty: The teachers are qualified and are always supportive and helpful. They put in there 100% to teach their respective subjects and urge us to report to the classrooms daily. Our course curriculum is not relevant as of now , we have to gain extra knowledge and skills on our own if want to be industry ready. The mid semester exams are very easy to moderate and not effect our final cgpa, bit the final semester exams do play a. significant role along with practicals and assignments and the level remains same.

Other: Our college crowd is divided among who want to study and get placements and are like bibliophiles and among those who came to college just to roam to around or participate in the college elections. Hence you need to be very careful while picking your friend circle.

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.
