    Q:   What is the effectiveness of the placement cell for M.A. programs at Delhi School of Economics?

    A: 
    {Source: M.A. students & alumni}

    Effectiveness of Placement Cell for M.A. Programs at Delhi School of Economics

    Based on student reviews, the placement cell for M.A. programs at Delhi School of Economics seems to be ineffective. Here's what students have reported:

    * No placement program: "Students have to find their own placements. There are no placement opportunities provided by the college." - Student Review
    * Limited job prospects: "About 50% of students were placed. But the college does not provide a placement programme." - Student Review
    * Low salaries: "The maximum salary is 4 LPA, the average salary is 2.3 LPA, and the minimum salary is 1 LPA." - Student Review
    * Dependence on student quality: "Top roles are entirely dependent on the quality and merit of the students." - Student Review

    Overall, while the college may offer good education and infrastructure, its placement cell appears to be underdeveloped, leaving students to fend for themselves in securing jobs after graduation.

    Overall, the best college for M.A. in Economics Course.
    Placements: Every year, 65-77% of the students are placed at our college. Companies such as Kotak Bank, KPMG, and the Reserve Bank of India visit our campus on an annual basis. We have a well-coordinated placement cell, which is really beneficial to us. The typical pay package ranges from 15 LPA to 29 LPA. 72% of students receive internship opportunities.
    Infrastructure: I enjoyed the campus, despite the fact that it was leased. The ultimate combination of contemporary and nature. The classrooms are outfitted with cutting-edge technology, while the grounds provide enough opportunities to appreciate nature. However, there are no labs, which is one of the primary disadvantages, although the lectures are adequate. The library was poorly placed, and medical services were only provided on paper.
    Faculty: Our college offers a wide range of courses in comparison to other universities, and our teaching members are highly qualified. Some are M.Teach grades, while others hold PhDs and can impart useful expertise to students. The lecturers are very supportive and provide the kids valuable time in the event of an emergency. Semester exams are difficult, and the pass rate is 45%.

    It is the best college for economics students.
    Placements: The placement cell is active but it provides average placements for top scores. Maximum students have to reach out on their own to the companies. So the highest salary package offered is 14 LPA in past years and the average salary package offered ranges from 5-6 LPA. There are no restrictions on internships, so students can participate in that.
    Infrastructure: Facilities are normal and basic. The infrastructure is average for me. There are no huge playgrounds and courts. Or classrooms are good but do not have air-conditioners in them. Wi-Fi was recently upgraded there. It has a huge library with only economic books. Canteen food is hygienic.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. They provide notes and clear doubts both offline and online. But have some grudges for some students. The course curriculum is relevant. It helps to improve the skills of students. Semester exams are of moderate level and we have to study hard to pass them.
