I would recommend that you take admission here. The college life is good, guys!
Placements: Okay, so this is my first year in college, but I’ve heard that the seniors got good placements and many are working as civil servants across the country, and people are out there working in the archaeological field. The opportunities that our college provides are good too, like many seminars with acknowledged people and all that.
Infrastructure: The facilities are good, and the campus feels safe because of the good security and disciplined environment. The Wi-Fi is totally broken, but the union is working on it. Classrooms are okay because there are no ACs in them, except in the library, seminar halls, and campus area, which are great. There are no hostel facilities available here, so people have to get a PG if they are not from Delhi. The freshers' party that we had was so good, and the societies are awesome.
Faculty: Teachers are so helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The professors who are teaching us are so professional and kind to the students. The curriculum is obviously relevant, and it does make the students industry-ready, but still, students need to do some self-reading from various sources to be more knowledgeable. The semester exams are said to be a bit difficult, but still, because of the great faculty, the pass percentage is good.
Other: I chose this course because I was interested in history, and the best thing about this is the study of the ancient past of India, particularly the social information. The things that I wish for are that the sources are very lengthy, which makes it hard for students to cover them, even in a whole semester. The events are great, the campus crowd is diverse, and the connectivity is excellent. I mean, it's just 2 minutes away from Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus. What else do you want? The societies and sports are best for students too.

Awesome experience till now, very pretty campus, and well-qualified and helpful faculty.
Placements: Actually, I am from B.A. (H) History, so we don't have any placements, but internship opportunities are there for us, and it's pretty good enough for the students of B.Com (Hons) and Eco Hons. But as of my course, we don't have any placement opportunities.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. Wi-Fi is available, food is good, and all the facilities like projector screens, labs, and sports equipment are available. Buildings are very pretty, but I will rate it 4 because we don't have hostels for both girls and boys, which should be provided.
Faculty: The faculty is awesome, well-versed, and knowledgeable in all the departments, and the passing percentage is also good. The curriculum and exams are well organized and decent, the societies are very lively, give us a holistic development, and the teachers are really good with their professions.
Other: Till now, I have realized that it is one of the best colleges of Delhi University, providing all the facilities and a very pretty campus. The events are awesome, scholarships are provided, the crowd is good, and the area is also beautiful.

Absolutely satisfied with the college as it has a good name and ranking (5th in NIRF).
Placements: I am currently studying in 1st year, so I don't have enough idea yet, but my seniors who are applying for placements brief me about it every year. The placement rate of my history department is 89%, and top recruiting companies are participating in the placements. Top companies like Accenture, Mywat, and the Archaeological Department of India also provide various internship options for the students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good. The main gate entry is very big and gives a proper vibe of a college entrance. It is accessible by all public transport; bus and metro stops are nearby, just hardly 500 meters from the college, which is an advantage for students. The library is big and spacious, and classrooms have proper sitting desks and ventilation. All sports facilities are there: 2 volleyball courts, cricket and football fields, a badminton court, basketball court, and NCC is also there. There is a canteen with cheap rates, and a Mother Dairy and an in-campus Nescafe store are also available.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and guide us all the way through our examinations. If we ask them, they will guide us for sure. They teach practically and are well-qualified. Yes, the curriculum is quite relevant and based on practical learning, not just textbook-based. It is good and interesting. The difficulty in passing the exam is not there. The pass percentage is 50%, which I think is mandatory for all.
Other: I choose this course because of interest in the history subject and it will be better if I study for further competitive exams. Further, it could be more practical, not textbook-based. My only complaint is that it could be studied practically. Events are there, such as TIDE, the Annual Fest of ARSD College, and many more fests are held during the college hours and throughout the year regularly.

I am satisfied and enjoying college; you guys should take admission!
Placements: There are many societies in our college that are very active, and there are good placement opportunities for students in commerce and science. From what I heard, there are many internship opportunities available in our college. Overall, people are nice and friendly. If I had to rate the college, I would give it 3.5 out of 5, as ARSD does not have a hostel, and the girls' NCC and auditorium are under construction. Overall, it’s a good college; you will not regret your choice.
Infrastructure: The canteen and Nescafé food are good, but there is no hostel at ARSD. The NIRF ranking is 5, and the library is excellent; you can issue books from there. Wi-Fi is available, but it doesn't work very fast. The classrooms are decent, and students can play sports like volleyball, cricket, and football. There is also a tennis board and carrom board in the atrium for fun.
Faculty: The faculty is good, and the professors are very helpful and knowledgeable. However, some professors do not take regular classes. The way professors teach is very effective, and the library is a great resource filled with knowledge. However, I think studying the history of the USA in honors is not that important.
Other: The fests are good, and many functions happen in college. I think some professors should take regular classes, but in Delhi University, this problem is universal; classes often get canceled, which should be improved.

College - live the life...
Placements: Jobs for History Hons students are limited, but students were still placed in freshers and entry-level jobs. There was a fest of two to three days where multiple companies came to hire students in bulk. The highest package from my course was 8 lakhs per annum, and the lowest was 3 lakhs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, and the garden area is clean and green. Hostels are not provided, but one can find PGs and flats nearby. Food is also available in some flats; otherwise, there are restaurants with reasonable prices in the area. WiFi is also provided.
Faculty: Professors are really good and supportive. The curriculum is divided into ancient, medieval, and modern studies over three years, with extra subjects like polity and English. They also conduct internal assessments and viva/presentation along with semester exams.

Review of ATMA Ram Sanatan Dharma College.
Placements: In my course, there aren't any placements, but for courses like B.A. (Hons.) Economics, B.Com., and B.Com. (Hons.), there are many opportunities. Our Placement Cell is quite active and organizes an annual fest called "InternoFaira," which offers great opportunities.
Infrastructure: Our college provides all facilities, including Wi-Fi, labs, and a library. The library deserves special mention for its AC facilities, which are very relieving in the summer. Although ARSD doesn't offer hostel facilities, it provides a wide range of sports facilities.
Faculty: The faculty is excellent. They assist students and engage in intellectually stimulating conversations with them. They are well-known education mentors, skilled, and knowledgeable. The curriculum for History Hons. is somewhat vast and lengthy.
Other: I chose this course to prepare for history as an optional subject in UPSC. The crowd is good, and the campus is very student-friendly.

I am satisfied with the campus of ARSD College in Delhi.
Placements: On average, 35 to 40 students got placed. There is a very good strength of students. The highest salary offered is Rs. 2 Lacs per month, and the lowest salary offered is Rs. 15,000 per month. The top recruiting companies are Indico, Policy Bazaar, and KPMG. Almost 50% of students got internships.
Infrastructure: Like all colleges of DU, ARSD also has a huge campus with an auditorium and a large ground. Sports facilities are good. Wi-Fi works well, and the classrooms are good but not air-conditioned.
Faculty: The curriculum covers all aspects of the history of India and the world. The college provides all the choices mentioned in the syllabus and has the best faculty members. All the teachers are well-renowned scholars and experts in their fields. Internals are conducted on a regular basis, and it contributes 25% to the final score, and attendance contributes 5%. Exams are easy to pass, but scoring a good CGPA demands regular studying throughout the semester. The college also organises numerous field trips and seminars, and I am satisfied with my academic performance.
Other: The annual fest is conducted in April, and the crowd gathered is phenomenal, as the performing artists are quite popular. Our college has many societies for different activities, like a drama society called Rangayan, a debating society, NSS, NCC, etc. Student politics are very prevalent in college.

Arsd college = value for money.
Placements: The placement cell of ARSD college is so good that you get emails regarding job opportunity. Many of my friends (3 basically) were selected. There are also various internship programmes that this college offers. If I particularly write about B.A. history we have field trips specially in 2nd sem. History department also organises various seminars including famous historians. And even book read or book reviews organised by teachers itself.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is there but college wi-fi is slow. There are labs for all stream in first floor. Big classrooms and library is just wow. Although there is no hostel facility but if you are an outside student you can easily find place in satya niketan which is a flat / PG closest to college.
Faculty: All DU colleges are great in education system. As you all know arsd is now on 7th position in all over india college list. SEE there are 3 years which are divided in 6 seems. 75 no. Question paper and 25 marks internal assessment in which we have to write assignment and 5 marks for attendance.
Other: I chose this course because I was interested in history and more over history department of this college is so cool. With fests, seminars, Book reads, movie day and all other workshops.
