Review of Dyal Singh College, Delhi.
Placements: We do have placements in our college. Top recruiters are KPMG and Wipro, but one cannot really rely on the college because it selects very few students. One has to have connections. There is an entire selection procedure from interviews to exams, and then you get into companies.
Infrastructure: Our college is huge. There are two blocks, Morning Block and Evening Block. Classrooms are spacious and well-furnished. It has laboratories as well for science students. There is also a canteen for students to eat, and the quality of food is only average. We have indoor and outdoor sports as well to play.
Faculty: The teaching staff is very cooperative. Some are strict, but others are really motivating and supportive. They help us by providing notes and making us understand concepts very easily. Faculty members are well-qualified and experienced in their own domains. I like all my teachers.

DCAC has been very kind to me so far.
Placements: DCAC doesn't have significant placements. I am still a junior, but I knew beforehand that for placements, I would have to search for opportunities elsewhere too. Some top names like KPMG, ICICI Bank, and SBI Bank do hire some students, but very limited.
Infrastructure: There are currently two blocks in our college, one old and one new. B.Com classes are held in the new building, while for the rest of the courses, the classes are still held in the old block. There's just one canteen, one basketball court, and one open ground used mostly for playing cricket and football.
Faculty: Faculty members are good, and teaching is nice too. For the B.Com programme, there are around 12-14 faculty members in all. Students and faculty members maintain a healthy relationship at DCAC as students listen to them more often than not, and they too aren't that strict as well.
Other: Influx was the recent event where many influencers were invited. That's the only event I have witnessed at DCAC so far.

Dyal College review and experience.
Placements: We have a placement cell. It actively works towards helping students get internships and job opportunities. Top recruiters are Wipro, Infosys, Unacademy, Genpact, and HP. Approximately 100 students get placed every year. It is a reputed college of Delhi University.
Infrastructure: We have a good campus to enjoy. There are many different clubs and committees for different events and activities. We have the largest library in Delhi University. You can find facilities like a canteen, auditorium, computer lab, and science laboratory as well.
Faculty: Faculty members are the best. They guide us through real-life experiences. They not only teach us theoretical knowledge but also industry knowledge. Teachers are very talented and experienced in their own fields. They have graduated from top institutions and hold various degrees.

My college life at Dyal.
Placements: Top recruiters are Wipro, TCS, and PwC. The placement cell is quite active. The average package is around 6 LPA, and the highest package is around 30 LPA. The placement cell also helps students with internships during semesters. It invites companies to come to our college to pick the best students for their companies.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is beautiful. It has two main blocks. They are the evening block and the morning block. We have the best facilities, like an auditorium, library, spacious classrooms, medical facilities, and bus facilities. There is also a swimming pool for swimmers.
Faculty: One can get admission through the CUET exam, and once you pass the exam, the process ahead is easy. Faculty members are approachable. They help us with all our doubts. They provide notes and study material during exams. Because of them, learning is easier. Our course is designed in a way that makes students industry-ready.

DRC needs some development in infrastructure and serious attention in placement opportunities.
Placements: DRC can definitely help in providing the right knowledge and will also help in getting the right ways to go ahead in a career. However, when it comes to campus placements, I am certain that I am not getting any opportunities whatever. Not just for my course, which has the smallest batch size, but even for courses like B.Com (Hons), students are stranded when it comes to campus placements.
Infrastructure: Honestly, if I chuck out the new building, our facilities are not such that they earn bragging rights. The lawn is good and is cleaned daily, but still leaflets and some filth can be found on floors. Classrooms are well-equipped with projectors and smart boards. Sadbhawna Bhavan, which is the pride of DRC, also needs some development.
Faculty: Since we have three major subjects, there are different HODs for all. All of them are handy and have made our department a sought-after one. So, faculty members of DRC leave no stone unturned in making sure that students do not just get the basic knowledge, but attain mastery from the college.
Other: The crowd is decent, as we have a lot of girls from states like Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal too. Improvement is needed in hostels and hostel timings for sure.

DRC is rated highly when it comes to academics.
Placements: Having spent almost a year and a half at DRC, I am certain that for placements, I have to look for opportunities elsewhere. Campus placements are quite limited, and even though some students manage to get dream jobs and dream packages, most of them fail at that. The reason for that is not the students, but the management, who fails to bring in enough opportunities for the students in terms of placements.
Infrastructure: Overall, facility-wise, there is no complacency as the DRC campus has nice facilities. There is a girls' hostel, however, it is quite restrictive. The canteen is good, and so is our lawn near the Nescafé kiosk. The new building has really good washrooms, and RO water is available for students on all floors of the building.
Faculty: Faculty members do not lay any obligations on students apart from attendance. The attendance rule is laid down by DU, and our college faculty members follow that strictly. Coming to their teaching, it is world-class, when making us understand the concepts and all, they give their everything so that students find studies easier than they actually are.
Other: One has to closely work with departmental societies, as working in the core group of societies helps us learn managerial skills. DRC has various such societies which help in honing skills apart from academics.

Which is best for Law among LPU and DU?

Answered 3 weeks ago

Honestly, both DU and LPU have their own advantages, but I'd definitely consider LPU for law. I studied MBA at LPU, and one thing I liked was the overall campus environment, the approachable faculty, and the exposure you get by interacting with people from different backgrounds. For law, moot courts
