My campus life is worth living.

Placements: I am currently pursuing a Mathematics Honours degree at Shivaji College (Delhi University). Last year, 50% of our batch from the 3rd year were placed. Most of the big companies like Deloitte and TCS visit our college for recruitment.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college is restful. The buildings and classrooms are well-maintained. Library is one of the best places to study. Apart from study materials, novels, newsletters, and other resources are also available. Canteen is a perfect place to hang out with friends. The quality of the food is good and the menu has a variety of food. The overall atmosphere is commodious.

Faculty: Teachers are hospitable and obliging. They guide us until we perfectly understand the concepts. Course curriculum helps students to be industry-ready using certain case studies. Semester exams give us an idea of our progress, it consists of the previous year's papers and tests conducted during classes.

Other: Mathematics Honours was not on my list. After researching about the course, I got to know more about the job opportunities, and then I decided to pursue it.

College is good in everything except the infrastructure.

Placements: 85 percent of the students are placed in my course. The lowest package, according to my course, is 20000 and the highest is 50,000. Not many but some private companies recruit from here. In my course, the majority of students are preparing for government jobs, so they have no choice but to go to other companies .

Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are not good. The foods are available in the canteen, which is also good. The seating arrangements are also very good but they are very dirty some times, so we need to make clean place where we are come to eat and have lunch, etc.

Faculty: Teaching is excellent and most classes are running regularly. There is not much doubt in the teachers teachings. The professors are giving us study material so we are studying with our free minds.

Other: I chose this course because it will be easy to prepare for my future studies and prepare for my goal without any problems. Preparation are running well by this course and by the study material .

Infrastructure: There are many facilities in my college including library faculty, auditorium, various sports grounds, large campus, and computer lab.

Infrastructure of my college is in top 10 list of best infrastructure colleges of DU.

A real college review of Delhi College of Arts and Commerce.

Placements: There are not that many placements in my course, but some placements are very decent. The highest salary package offered is 9LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 4LPA. I think 18% of students from my course have done internships in various private as well as government startups. In my course many roles are offered like the role of a negotiator, role of a magistrate, and role in executive branch, both in political and permanent criteria.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is quite average because it lacks in terms of infrastructure. There are no air-conditioned classrooms but if we talk about library it is fully digitized and air-conditioned with all resource books available for all the courses offered by college. The quality got better recently otherwise in previous times it is very bad. The food here is eatable and tasty but there is an issue of hygiene. Our college also offers practice sessions for serious athletes who want to pursue career in sports.

Faculty: Faculty members here are very supportive except for some teachers. All faculty members are helpful and they teach their respective subjects very passionately which can be seen in the report cards of students. This course curriculum is not relevant and it doesn't make students industry-ready, but it does make a student ready to crack competitive exams. Semester exams are not that difficult. Students score well because we have to pass the criteria of 40% in every subject for example one paper is 160 marks then students need to score 64.

Other: I chose this course because I want to make a career in civil services so it gives me certain knowledge about politics and policies. The things that should be improved are just that teachers should give more assignments to students for a crystal clear understanding of concepts. Events are very low in college because of small infrastructure. But, societies of the college make college life quite interesting.

Yes I am dissatisfied with the college.

Placements: I have generally not heard about placements from my department students who try for IIT JAM and other field jobs. some go for UPSC government exams students come here to do coaching and other curricular activities which develop their personality physically as well as mentally.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi facility is okok not too good mostly washrooms GATE doesnot have latch. Library is fine and canteen requires cleanliness also the classroom are cheated as in summer there in no proper ventilation and fans working, also no edu comp classes held.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful if you are regular usually students study just for the sake of exams, not seriously and most of the teachers focus on the quick covering of the syllabus In the end students have to study on their own. Stone hardly managed to pass due to their carelessness.

Other: There are a lot of groups in our batch. No fest no alumni, not good crowd students are much involved in politics.
