Hansraj College, Delhi University.
Placements: The average placement of our college, mainly in the commerce department, is 4 LPA. Mainly, the recruiting companies are commerce-based. The main roles are based on commerce. The highest placement during my time was 18 LPA. There are many internship programs in our college. There is a dedicated cell for the placement cell in our college.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is excellent. The college hostel has all the amenities that a student wants from a hostel. The food quality of the hostel is quite good. Canteen and mess facilities are also good. Medical facilities in the college and hostel are also good.
Faculty: The faculty is very knowledgeable and helpful. Semester exams are not so difficult, but students need to study quite well. The course curriculum is very good, and NEP is also implemented in Delhi University. Semester exams are not so tough. Mostly, the exam pattern is quite predictable.
Other: I opted for History Honours because I have a quite good interest in history and wanted to pursue my career in history. In my course, there is no such thing I want to improve. Events are quite good on the university campus. There are mainly scholarships given to students in college.

I am really satisfied with my college, good vibes, infrastructure and good placement.
Placements: Hansraj College helps its students find a good job after they have completed their graduation. Many big companies, such as Big 4, come, but the rate of induction is very low in these courses as it is a theory course so I recommend you guys learn some skills, as about 2/3 students out of 100 get offers in these companies as interns and offers with a 5–6 LPA package.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Hansraj college is the best on Delhi university campus It has a two-story library, one for science and one for the arts and one hall for newspapers. It also has classrooms in three blocks with 2-3 AC units installed in each room, as well as an auditorium, an amphitheater, and a seminar room. I rate Hansraj best in infrastructure; the canteen is also good; you also get Nescafe, Amul cafe and Mitti Cafe; medical facilities are also available, such as a counseling unit; and sports and games such as badminton, football, basketball, volleyball, Kabaddi and cricket are all present .
Faculty: Teachers are good at teaching; they used to teach really well. If you study properly, you can easily get an 8–9 CGPA, but this time NEPC is there, so you had to study 7 subjects (3 core, 3 electives and one AEC), so you have to study better. The course and syllabus are all aligned with UPSC. If you want to take optional and semester exams, they are easy; you just have to prepare well for PYQ and nothing else, and your passing percentage is 3.6 plus your CGPA.
Other: I chose this course because I want to align with the UPSC optional exam so this course is too good for me. You need to assess your strength and weakness according to your strength and weaknesses, and listen, the campus crowd is too awesome it is a little bit small with a lot of crowds; sometimes it's become crowded during its speak hour but it's still ready to go on and the fest's name is Confluence, which is held every year in April, somewhat.

College review and placement details.
Placements: I am unaware but placement is generally offered for B.Com courses or Eco Hons courses. For courses like history, generally, internships are offered with government institutions & you are believed to pursue a Master's to land a good job in any field like archaeology/historian. Most students in 1st year opt for history with the aim of government exam preparation and CSE societies of college help with that.
Infrastructure: The campus life is good, there is plenty of greenery and trees around, which provide good places to sit and hang out with people. The labs are equipped with AC and the computers have top-of-the-class specifications. The classrooms are modern and equipped with projectors and central ACs and seating arrangement is also good. The library is big. The canteen is relatively smaller but the food is good. There are multiple sports facilities like cricket ground, nets, track and field ground, football ground, amphitheater, badminton, basketball, tennis, kabaddi, volleyball, table tennis etc.
Faculty: The faculty is extremely understanding. The teachers are fun to interact with. Core papers are moderate and one can easily get through them if studyproperly. Reading is important, especially in a subject like history.

College of Sharukh Khan - Hansraj College.
Placements: The majority of students choose to pursue a bachelor's degree in history as their optional subject for the UPSC exam. Some students also choose to further their academic career by pursuing a Master's degree in the United States or by qualifying for the NET JRF exam. Teaching positions are also available at renowned coaching institutes such as PW, DRISHTI, VISION, etc. Additionally, students can explore internships in content writing, proofreading, editing, and other related fields.
Infrastructure: Hansraj College boasts top-notch infrastructure, evident through its well-equipped classrooms with four air conditioners each. It stands out as the only college with an indoor shooting range and offers excellent sports facilities. The college maintains a high standard, providing fully equipped labs, particularly the outstanding computer labs. The canteen is well-maintained and offers all necessary items. Additionally, the college's smart library is a standout feature, and students enjoy free, fast Wi-Fi throughout the campus.
Faculty: Despite the availability of helpful professors, a significant number of students fail to seek their guidance due to their lack of interest in college studies. However, it is important to remember that professors are always willing to assist you with any doubts or queries you may have. In the case of exams at HRC or DU, they are known to be challenging, so it is crucial to pay attention to assignments and refrain from simply copying and pasting information. Dedicate time to studying and understanding the material thoroughly.
Other: The college campus may be smaller compared to Hindu and Stephens, but it boasts the best campus crowd and atmosphere on the entire north campus. There is a wide range of events happening on a daily basis, including music events and seminars. The annual festival attracts students from different colleges who come to participate. Scholarships are awarded based on CUET scores in the first year and CGPA in the second and third years, along with an interview. It is crucial to note that attendance at Hansraj College must be at least 67%. Falling below this requirement will result in a significant deduction in internal scores, which account for 70 marks out of a total of 160. This includes both theory and practical components. To avoid this, it is advised to maintain at least 85% attendance.

Hansraj as a college is a mixed experience.
Placements: 0% of students got any placements as our course is not a practical job-based course; most people take up this course in order to pursue further examinations. If I have to talk about courses that do get placements like economics honors and B.Com, then they do get some amount of placements.
Infrastructure: We do have a pretty good infrastructure compared to other North Campus colleges. Our facilities include AC in all classrooms, smart boards and projectors, a fully air-conditioned newly built library, and Wi-Fi in the library. We have great cafes on the campus itself for food.
Faculty: Our faculty vary from person to person; they are pretty helpful academically. Some professors from our department do not engage in fun activities with the students, while some do. In the case of academics, all faculty members are well-versed with their papers and do help the students whenever needed.
