Shaheed Bhagat Singh College: A Prodigy to Become!

I’d rate the BCom Hons course curriculum at SBSC around 7 out of 10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness. One of the main reasons I chose this course was because it offers a good mix of commerce subjects like Financial Accounting, Business Law, and Corporate Law, along with exposure to Economics and Management, which seemed useful whether I go for MBA or competitive exams later. The first-year subjects felt more like a base, but from second semester onward it started to get a bit more practical. Each subject has 25 marks for internals and 75 for the main exam. Most exams are 3 hours long and subjective, and I’d say the difficulty level is moderate. If you’ve been regular with notes and study the past papers, it’s not hard to pass, but getting 8+ CGPA requires consistent effort. Overall, the curriculum gives a decent foundation but it could be way better if more practical components and industry exposure were added.

I'm currently a 19-year-old BCom Hons student at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC), DU, and here’s my honest review of the fee structure and scholarship details. In my first year, I paid around 17,500 as a general category student. This included tuition fees, admission charges, development fees, exam fees, and other compulsory charges like student welfare, society funds, and library security. The tuition was somewhere around 6,000, and the rest added up with things like sports, NSS, electricity, and ID card charges. There’s a slight increase in fees every year, around 1,500–2,000, depending on the batch.

My overall experience with campus life at SBSC has been pretty fun and memorable so far. Socially, the vibe is super chill – people are generally friendly, and it’s easy to make friends both in class and through societies. The crowd is mixed – you’ll find serious toppers, laid-back chillers, artists, dancers, and literally every type of student, which makes it easy to find your tribe. I joined the dance society here and honestly, that’s been the best part of college for me – we practice regularly, get to travel for competitions, and it gives a break from the regular academic pressure. Apart from that, there are active societies for dramatics, commerce, debating, and even niche clubs like quizzing and poetry. Fests like Crescendo are a big deal and it’s fun to see the campus buzzing with food stalls

The DU admission process was completely through CUET and the CSAS portal, so we had to fill in our preferences and then wait for rounds to see where we got in. I got SBSC in an early round and locked it immediately because I didn’t want to take a risk of losing the seat. The process was mostly smooth online, but offline verification took a day. Overall, I chose SBSC over other options because it offered a respected DU degree, a decent faculty and crowd, and was convenient location-wise too.

I’m currently studying BCom Hons at SBSC and from my experience so far, the faculty is honestly decent with a few standout professors. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite manageable in most classes; we’re around 60–70 students in one section, and most professors are able to give attention during and after lectures if you reach out. Some are super chill and approachable, especially when it comes to clearing doubts or giving notes before exams. One of my favourite professors is Dr. Priya Narang – she teaches Business Laws and her way of explaining complex topics with real-life examples made the subject actually interesting. Another faculty I liked was Prof. Meenakshi for Financial Accounting – she gave structured notes and took doubts seriously.

Nightlife around Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC) isn’t like a typical “party campus” vibe, but it definitely has its own chill rhythm, especially if you enjoy cafes, street food, and late-night walks. Since SBSC is a day college and doesn’t have its own hostel, most students either commute from home or live in PGs and flats nearby in areas like Satya Niketan, Lajpat Nagar, or Patel Nagar. The college campus itself shuts down by 5–5:30 PM, including the library and common areas. The gym is mostly active in the morning and during early evenings. There’s no in-campus cafeteria open after that either, so post-college hangouts usually move outside. My go-to hangout spot after classes is Satya Niketan (which is about 15 minutes by auto or metro) – it’s full of budget-friendly cafes, momos joints, gaming lounges, and rooftop places that stay open till 10–11 PM.
