Our college does not provide good placements.
Placements: Our college does not provide good placements in our course.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms were recently renovated after an incident where the ceiling fell off in the middle of the class. The quality of food in the canteen is good.
Faculty: It is a good course. Our teachers are good. The teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is relevant and is taught well, but teachers' assignment of practicals is hectic because we are always assigned to do 5-6 of them in a short period.

Vivekananda College an Honest review 2021'.
Placements: For psychology about placements I have no information but as far as internships, the internal quality assessment department works very well they organize webinars timely on various topics be it entrepreneurship, menstrual health of females, basic computer skills, and A level Certificate course in foreign languages.
Infrastructure: The entrance of our college has its name written letter by letter making it look sophisticated and welcomes with a small statue of Shri Vivekananda it has 2 auditorium one big in size for fests and seminars that can accommodate 1000-2000 students and another one small in size for department activities and department seminars. Our college has excellent Wi-Fi networks, a big computer lab on each floor (2 story building), a big library full of shelves filled with course books, comics, magazines, newspapers and many books that are used for examination purposes like reasoning books, books on General studies, GK. For the psychology department, there exists a separate library that makes it easy to find books for studying, they also have files and question booklet for vivas that help during the exam time. Almost every department has smart class services and projectors that students can use when they have to give their presentations. The psychology department also provides its students with laptop that they can use when needed. The classrooms are big and sometimes teachers use the mic for proper audios and every floor has its own bathroom, these are cleaned every day but still needs to be more hygienic. The college also has watercooler services, the water is safe to drink and is kept with almost hygiene. The college does not have a hostel facility. Talking about the canteen it is a big area that can accommodate more than 50 people and is connected to the college garden so one can enjoy their outside and during winter you can find students on every corner of the garden enjoying playing and sometimes dancing too. As mentioned above our college has a big garden full of trees like Jamun, mangoes, etc. It also has a flower garden full of seasonal colourful flowers! the staircase areas are beautifully painted by the students and are of great use for clicking aesthetic pictures for Instagram and other social media profiles. The canteen does not offer a lot of varieties like non-veg like other DU colleges, but whatever they serve tastes really good! we have a separate ground for sports, it has running tracks and main attractions for students is Hokey before COVID they were about to add football for the students but I don't know when will this come into effect. Our college has a sports room along with gym facilities, the equipment works well and were in good conditions.
Faculty: The teachers are very supportive and concerned for their students, even during the online classes they ask about students their families if anyone facing any difficulty they are always there to guide and reflect their knowledge onto their students. One can talk to them about anything that concerns them, they are punctual and demands the same from their students. They always help you push your fears away and work on your weaknesses! in the first year, college also organizes an Orientation programme for students to know how their college works and gives them the opportunity to meet their Principal and teachers also our college conducts PTM where in the parents can SEE the college from inside and can meet the professors, this helps them to build trust in their institutions and parents feel warm and respected. The circular is relevant but they should add on things like neuropsychology or AI as these are quite prominent in today's time and requires students' attention on them as well. Also at the end of the semester teachers circulate google forms asking the needs of the students and how much do they enjoy learning things taught and do they want new things to be added and that how students can communicate their ideas towards better learning. The semester exams are not difficult if you practice well, solve previous year questions and pay attention to the internal test given, and of course, paying attention during the class. Since everything is online now many students based on their assignment and internal marks scoring 9 or more than 9 CGPA but before that in offline exams, students were able to score 8 and more CGPA.
Other: I chose Applied psychology Hons because I always wanted to understand people around me and how some people suffering from mental illness perceive their worlds differently than more of us. I wanted to be a part of a world that does not discriminate against people based on their illnesses and disabilities and to make that happen I will have to put in a lot of effort and studying psychology is the first step towards it. Addition of more information on neuro-psychology and AI. The college is an off-campus, the surrounding is free from distractions and noise. It has does not have many food joints like Satya Niketan but still, we can find good food and cafes, not far from our college we have joint areas full of cafes one can enjoy I can name one which I visited last was Cafe Wink it is so beautiful and the food is amazing but is slightly expensive as compared to others. Many shops open up in the evening in Kadkarduma community center it also has a variety of cafes and restaurants. Talking about Fests our college organizes its fest around March with the official name 'Palllavi' unfortunately I didn't attend my college fest due to COVID-'19 but it used to be a grand event full of life, food and music, and Fashion shows students from various colleges used to come as told by my seniors also fests are a great opportunity for young businesswomen (as our college is women's college) as one have their stalls on Diwali or any fests organized by the college and can show off their talents. Societies organize various competitions for the students and winners get prize money along with certificates, due to COVID-19 these competitions were held in the online modes, even teachers share links for competitions held in different colleges for their students to participate.

Dissatisfied because of a very small campus
Placements: As far as I've seen, the placements in my college are only from the placement cell of the college, and that's all, which is also not that good, so I would say the placement in this college is not something you should expect much from, especially for psychology. It is still okay for commerce students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is okay. The college campus is pretty small, so don't expect much from it, but it is still okay with the red walls and everything. However, it is still very small, and it is an off-campus college, so of course, there is no hostel. Students go for PG or flats.
Faculty: The faculty of my particular course is pretty nice as they are very qualified and knowledgeable, that's for sure. The psychology department of Vivekananda is pretty good, I would say. The curriculum and coursework are relevant and very practical. The exams are not that difficult; if you've studied enough, you'll pass easily.

The psychology department is absolutely fantastic. Satisfied with this.
Placements: Since I haven't graduated, I don't know much about the placements. But I have reviewed the placement procedure, and I found out that considerable amount of companies do come to Vivekananda and 90% of students are placed. Since I am pursuing psychology, I would prefer a job after doing my M.A. Many companies come to recruit B.Com Hons students.
Infrastructure: Vivekananda college has a fairly large campus with 3-storey library and a separate library for the applied psychology department. There are big grounds for sports as well a sports room with all the required equipment. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus. Vivekananda also offers computer laboratories and ample classrooms. The quality of classes is good. The canteen food is not that great, but other people seem to enjoy it.
Faculty: I can only review my department which is great. The teachers are very serious about completing the syllabus on time, with time for revision and doubts. The faculty includes qualified teachers who have been teaching since past ten years. The quality of teaching is very good and teaching methods used are helpful.
Other: This college is near to 5 metro stations and crowd is average. I have not yet attended the fest, but I have heard that singers and celebrities come to our college. There are various societies which actively participate in the fests and competitions organized by other colleges. Ample amount of exposure is provided to every student.

The college provides really excellent facilities and course curriculum.
Placements: It is the best college, especially for girls as so there is no teasing by boys, which is the best thing so that guardians will not have much stress. The college provides many courses which would be quite beneficial to girls. Different companies visit every year for placements. Students get many internships offers in order to enhance their work experience. I would suggest everyone take admission here, and you will also have the same experience I have.
Infrastructure: The campus is spread over a huge area with two entrance, and the college building is surrounded by the garden, which gives it an immense beauty. The garden area is spacious, neat and clean. Students can relax during their lunchtime or whenever they are free, or they can chat with their friends also. The college is very spacious, neat, clean with many facilities like huge classrooms with best quality desks and benches and washrooms. There is also a library with old to latest editions of books, don't worry about books. The medical room is quite spacious, with many facilities for normal and students with many abnormalities. The auditorium is well ventilated, spacious and also equipped with projectors. The canteen is very neat, hygienic, and it is the best place to eat.
Faculty: Faculty members and also dean are well educated, well mannered and supportive as well. They teach with the latest techniques and curriculum. They aren't strict always, but they can be when required. If you have any personal problem, then you can share with them without any hesitation. They are very friendly and will provide you with the right decision and will lead you to the right path. The college provides many courses for new joiners, and feel free to enrol and to discuss.
Other: It is the best college ever because I studied well and also enjoyed here. My overall experience was great in comparison to other colleges. The college also conducts many programs and events for students, and it is a wonderful experience for me. All the students should participate in class and in many programs organised within the college to enhance your confidence and performance for upcoming events and programs. Don't take badly if faculty members scold you because it is for your own well wish.
