Remarks

I opted University of Delhi because it's one of the prestigious universities in India and I came to know that students get a lot of exposure in DU.plus it's near Gurgaon. About my College.I took admission in Shyamlal because its NIRF ranking was 44 in 2019.and my percentage matched its cutoff. I won't say that DU is the best University or Shyamlal is the best college. because it's not. It's just that it teaches you to live by your own.stand on your feet. there's no spoon feeding sort of thing in colleges.and also college life is not what students fantasize in Schools. true you get that freedom you crave for. but it's really difficult to adjust in a totally new environment which is out of our comfort zone. Attendance is not such a big issue. but recently the University is being a bit particular about attendance.it just totally depends on your subject teacher. I'd just suggest try being part of societies. it'll add to your skill set plus it'd be fun.and I'd like to suggest this one thing which matters the most to me.'Choose a college which is near your house if you're not planning to reside in a pg/flat'.I have to travel straight 2 hours to reach my college.which means 4 hours a day is gone in travelling.and then you get so exhausted that anything you wanna do is 'sleep sleep and sleep'.so please choose a college which suits you. because a period of 3-4 years isn't less. believe me all colleges provide the same kind of education.just in more reputed colleges societies are more active and better.and also if you're getting admission in some college then don't wait for other cut offs. because there are chances you'll miss the opportunity to get admission in that college again. because cut offs get closed very quickly.so it's advisable to take admission in colleges as soon as it's cut off matches your percentage. The best thing is that bunking is not an issue here.no one will question you unlike private universities.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Faculty is okay.I won't say it's wonderful or anything.just my Macro/micro economics teacher is too good.Mrs Supriti Mishra. I have to study totally on my own because I can't be regular in my college because of this huge distance between my home and college.

Internships Opportunities

I just completed an Internship in Houseitt.this was an unpaid internship.but there were monetary rewards for top performers.it is basically an accomodation platform for students studying in Delhi.

Placement Experience

3

I've not been in touch with the placement or E-cell of my college as such.but I've heard that placements provided by Shyamlal is above average.Companies keep visiting colleges for picking up students but students should never depend on this completely

College Events

3.5

Annual fest was not held this year.maybe because of Covid 19. participation is not on a very big scale.since Shyamlal is an off Campus college. competitions are very regular in Shyamlal. you'll get the chance to participate in every possible field of interest.

Campus Life

2.5

There's no proper auditorium in my college.and I hate this thing the most.sports facilities are good.but there's no basketball court, a huge disappointment.I don't know about wi-fi. I've never used it.I don't even know if this facility is present or not. library is impressive. I've not been to labs of my college.

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language.

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.
