Average but still better than other colleges.
Placements: I'm studying at Mata Sundari College for Women at DU. To be honest, it's a good college compared to other colleges at DU. In terms of placements, the college is pretty average. And especially if you are a BFA student, then I guess it's pretty hard to secure a good placement. The placements cell of the college always tries to help but still, I would suggest that if you're coming to this college, focus on studying and enhancing your overall personality and skills. You can not solely rely on the placements.
Infrastructure: One thing I like about that my college is the infrastructure and sanitation. Despite the limited space, MSCW impressed with excellent infrastructure and sanitation facilities. The college has high standards in cleanliness and hygiene. The college provides Wi-Fi as well. And it has a beautiful library. It has an auditorium. And especially the canteen. The canteen has numerous options; I was kind of shocked at first. Overall, the limited space does not detract from the facilities provided. But yes, they don't allow to enter the ground. And you won't have a large sitting place. The campus is very small .
Faculty: The faculty is very good. They're always trying to help. I've seen a lot of teachers and their behavior has never bothered me. And yes, I guess the curriculum is indeed relevant. But you could opt for something else if you want. The B.A. programme exam pattern is very easy compared to the honours exam.
Other: Overall, the college is average. It provides good services, the faculty is good, and the infrastructure is pretty fine. But I wish the campus was a little bigger.

Our college doesn't provide placements, and the infrastructure is not good.
Placements: Our college doesn't provide placement opportunities. Companies don't visit our college, and the administration is not interested in providing placement opportunities.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. Our college is among the top-3 fine arts colleges in India, but the condition of our campus is not good. It's a fine art college, so the expenses for making it look good are high. Our library has numerous good books. Wi-Fi is provided, but the bandwidth is very low. There are no hostel facilities. The canteen serves a variety of foods, but the quantity is less. Medical facilities are not available. We have a basketball court at our college.
Faculty: Some teachers take the responsibility very seriously, and some don't care at all. Many teachers are highly qualified as they are selected through UPSC. The course curriculum is outdated and does not make students industry-ready. The majority of teachers want their students to stick to the particular curriculum. Semester exams are not that easy. The pass percentage is 33%.
Other: I chose this course as I had a keen interest in fine arts. Our course has many excellent features. The course curriculum should be updated. Events are conducted by students. Fewer scholarships are provided. The campus crowd is good. Fests are not conducted but annual functions take place here. I do not recommend this college.

I would not recommend this college due to lack of placement and hostel facility.
Placements: The average marks scored by a student is above 50%. Sadly, there are no placements offered but the faculty works towards the skill and technical development of students.
Infrastructure: We don’t have hostel in our college but the facilities like library, gym, basketball court, etc are available. Canteen is clean and well maintained but the food available is not good. Sports activities are also conducted with in the campus and there are no intercollege matches.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. Extra-curricular activities are conducted which help the students to learn new things in. Different societies are also present like lake dance, poetry, singing, anime, etc. The exams are difficult to clear as the library does not have enough books but one can pass the exams because of the teaching process.
Other: I chose this college as it was in the list of “Best colleges in India for BFA”. College needs improvement to bring students together during extra-curricular activities. Scholarship is only applicable for financially weaken students and not for the students who are on the merit list.

This college is a place to start your art career.
Placements: Our college does not provide placements, but students get internships through their own skills. By doing internships, they gain more experience and have skill development. The internship helps students to be market ready and develop their skills. They can find jobs in various fields based on their experience.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is good, but the facilities provided are not very good. Washrooms are not properly well-maintained, and Wi-Fi facilities are not good. The food provided in the canteen is good. Medical facilities are not provided, and while in a year they conduct sports day.
Faculty: Teachers here are qualified and helpful. Their teaching method is also good. Practical assignments are important for a good percentage. You have to complete your task in a given period. The curriculum is not very relevant, and it is old and should be updated.
Other: I chose applied art, and through this course, you can opt for the advertising field. In a year they organise a fest, but other events are not provided.

It is a place where your creativity gets enhanced.
Placements: There are no placements in our college. Students pass out, make their portfolios and get jobs on their own. The college doesn't provide any placements to the students. The students have to search for internships on their own. The top recruiting companies mainly fall under the advertisement agencies.
Infrastructure: The college of arts provides a well-maintained library to the students that offer various books and knowledge about art. The classrooms are quite well-structured and properly built for different departments of the college. Wi-Fi and a canteen with decent food are available. But there are no hostel or medical facilities available. The college organizes a sports day once a year.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and helpful. Some teachers take very good initiatives and make efforts to make students. It is not difficult to pass the exams till 3rd year, but you need to focus more on exams in the 4th year. The curriculum is relevant up to 80%, but it doesn't make students industry-ready completely.
Other: I am passionate about arts, and I am more into digital ones. I wanted to learn more about it, so this made me pursue this as my career. The curriculum could be updated, and there should be extracurricular activities.

There are no placements and curricular activities.
Placements: Basically, placements are not provided by our college, but you can apply for various jobs on your own or can start searching for internships. Having the experience to work in an official environment will help a lot for further jobs. Internships help a lot to gain skills and experience.
Infrastructure: There's no college hostel and medical facilities. Sports are not available here, but sports day is organised once a year. Due to some reason, canteen is closed in our college. The quality of some food items served in the canteen is fine, while for some items, it is not good. There is a library where a lot of good books are available for students to study.
Faculty: Teachers in this college are qualified, but some do not very actively interact with students. However, there are some very good teachers who actually make efforts for students. The course curriculum is slightly relevant that makes students industry-ready, but as there are no extracurricular activities that could give a lot of exposure, students do not get industry-ready even 90%. It is not hard to pass exams until 3rd year, but you need to focus in 4th year.
Other: I always wanted to do something in art, and when I got to know about this course, I was more than happy to pursue my passion as a career. The things that can be improved are curricular activities, holding various workshops and making students learn about the outside market. College life is amazing. You need to take the initiative.
