Best off-campus college.

Infrastructure: SLC is one of the properly developed colleges, with the best Wi-Fi facility inside the campus, well-furnished labs and classrooms with proper ventilation.

Review of Shyam Lal College (Delhi university).
Placements: I am the core member of the placement cell of Shyam Lal College, and our cell tries to reach out to HR of all the big companies to invite them for campus drives. Although the recruitment ratio is lower as candidates aren't satisfied with the job opportunities they get as it's not a well-reputed college on the North campus.
Infrastructure: The college comprises two buildings, with 2 playgrounds, a nursery, a library, science labs, 3 computer labs, and at least 2 staircases with washrooms on every floor. The college is well maintained by authorities, and the cleanliness of the college has helped it gain NAAC A+ rating as well. But it doesn't provide students with lift and air conditioning facilities in regular classrooms. And also, projectors placed in classrooms are not working many times.
Faculty: All the faculty members are Ph.D. holders and doing research work as well along with their teaching careers. As well as the office staff, they aren't very cooperative, as they are very strict with the office timings and sometimes often work as SBI bank staff members.
Other: Overall, the college is very average.

Faculty: All teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are very friendly. Their teaching quality is very nice. Semester exams and the syllabus are not very large. They are good. The course curriculum is not fully relevant but makes students industry-ready.

Honest Review on Shyam lal college (Delhi University). .
Placements: Our college has a placement cell. Every year, it invites different companies like WIPRO, etc. to provide placement to the students. It helps the students to acquire jobs. The average package is around 400,000 to 500,000 LPA. The highest package is around 800,000 LPA. The percentage of students getting placements is around 40 to 50 percent. Our college also provides internship programs to the students. The stipend is around 4,000 to 10,000 and may vary according to your skills and contribution to the company. For information about these internship programs, you have to contact the college office.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure consists of two buildings for classes, parking, a printing shop, an ATM, a playground, various courts for different sports, a garden, a canteen, an amphitheater, a porch area, club and society rooms, and sports rooms. There is also a library, an auditorium, and labs for different subjects are available. The only thing that our college lacks is hostel facilities. There are no hostel facilities provided by the college to students.
Faculty: The faculty members of the college are very nice and qualified to teach in the subjects they master. They are not so strict to some extent and do not pressure you to make notes. They are always open to clearing your doubts and are very lenient in giving marks. Their teaching style is also exceptional, as they will teach you from the basics. The semester examination is pretty easy if you understand the concept and solve PYQs. The percentage of students getting passed is more than 87%.
Other: I chose this course because it is flexible and innovative, and it allows me to explore subjects other than my core subjects. It also helps me in building a basis for my UPSC preparation. The college arranges a fresher party every year for welcoming new students, and it also hosts a fest at the end of the academic year. You can also join the fests of other colleges that come under Delhi University by showing your ID cards. The college provides scholarships and financial aid.
