What Students Say

Likes

Sports ,NCC campus life friends and teachers they are helps in over-all things like scholarship study notes books etc
Some teachers teaches in bilingual Hindi or English so students feels comfortable
Office team of my college also helps students for get any information or any documents consider to scholarship

Dislikes

Some teacher who are assisting anyone they are not teaching
Entry in college of any other person is sometimes possible
There is not an auditorium so students faced problem in every fest

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose the BA program because its cut-off is low and this course is easy and it's good for UPSC preparation. I choose Shyam Lal college shahdara because My Delhi govt hostel kamla nehru hostel is nearby my college and it's free for sc obc and minorities. SLC college faculty is too good. Teachers' Nature is mind-blowing, they help with study, scholarship, and in any problem. They teach in bilingual Hindi or English so students are comfortable studying. Exams are not too easy or not too difficult it's moderate.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 15000 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

There is internship opportunity available for 2nd and third-year student in their interest areas they also applied for govt internship and there is some task for students. Competition between every social club or college to college and in sports, NCC.

Placement Experience

2.5

Campus placement depends on merit and interview. But I have less information because my course placement is not available After graduation, I am preparing for UPSC CSE from dikshant coaching and also getting admission in MA history from Ignou.

Fees and Financial Aid

Course fees are not too costly it's just 16000 per year. There are many scholarships for students for sc, st, and obc. They also applied for fee concession. Teachers help poor students to get a scholarship and sometimes they contribute to students.

Campus Life

In April month, there is an annual fest and celebrities also came but there is one problem that in SLC there is no auditorium. The library is good, books are more than enough. There are many clubs dance society eco club depending on the interest area of students but I am not part of any club or group.

Admission

It depends on the merit list and the entrance exam that is CUET. The merit list is declared on the DU website. I searched for it on the collegedunia website and other websites. Application fees for UR-500 Rs. and OTHER-250 Rs. There is a good process of admission but sometimes it frustrated students because some students are not from Delhi they are coming from outside like MP, RJ, UP, etc. they are chasing some problems like residency, food, etc.

Flexible learning system, allowing students to manage their studies alongside other responsibilities.
Opportunity to pursue a degree from delhi university through open and distance learning.

Dislikes

Limited opportunities for regular classroom interaction and face to face engagement with teachers and fellow students.
Students pursuing distance learning may need to rely more on self-study and independent preparation
More regular communication, student support, and interactive academic activities would improve the overall learning experience

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

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

The teaching faculty is really nice and polite. They usually help students even when u contact them after college hours.
The engagements and the quality of the social interactions in this college is also very good and very uplifting.
The quality of the infrastructure is very good compared to other colleges in du, considering its very new.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the thought of learning about the literature of the older times was pretty exciting to me while I was choosing the course. The curriculum however does prepares you if you want to continue ur academic journey in the English field.

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.

I chose BBA ( general) with this course bcz shyamlal college is very famous as I think and the faculty staff is best for student, and one of the main thing for student is travelling system.... This college is very near of Welcome metro station so we can travel with metro to avoid disturbance... Let's talk about admission process-- we have to visit college or a website then choose a course which you're going to do.. then fill the form with double check ... We have to upload our documents like 10 and 12th marksheet... Or if you wanna enroll offline classes I strongly recommend to apply for scholarship in shyamlal college...

College Life at Delhi University

The admission process is quite similar to other colleges of DU. And I chose the BA program, so my eligibility criteria were a 12th pass in any stream. Firstly I registered myself at DU through the official website of DU. Then I waited for the cut-off and I got selected in 2nd cut-off. Then I go to the official website of Shyam lal college and filled out the application form. The form was so simple and easy. The college admission fee at that time was 16450 rupees. After some time my application got selected by Shyam lal college. No improvement....Read More
