It’s a good college with a nice environment, making it easy to make new friends and enjoy good food.
Placements: 40% of college students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at DAV College face issues with placement. The lowest salary package offered to students is around 5 lakhs per year, while the highest reaches about 18 lakhs annually. Recruiting companies from abroad will also participate in hiring events. Internship opportunities are minimal, and very few students secure jobs directly through the college.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is too good, according to the fee. Labs are also available according to their courses. Wi-Fi is available for all the students everyone can use it. The hostel is also excellent, in one room, two students staying in AC rooms are too expensive in comparison to non-AC rooms.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and kind, with well-qualified teachers who are continuing their studies. The curriculum is relevant, and it prepares students for the industry. Exams can be tough or easy, depending on your knowledge and preparation.
Other: There is a three-night festival, Star Night, held every year, featuring singers from Haryana, Punjab, and Himachal.

Overall good but could be more better.
Placements: I do not know much about placement, but you can find the information regarding placement on our college website. Many companies' advertisements are being posted on our notice section of the students' portals regarding the placement. The college has a tie-up with many companies.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available for students in the college campus, but it is not available everywhere in the college. Labs are constructed, but I never visited as I'm from a different department. Windows are broken in most of the classes and nails and screws of benches tears our jeans. The library is good, different books are available, and there's a reading hall as well as air-conditioners are available in the library.
Faculty: Teachers are very supportive and knowledgeable. They help in nation-building. They explain every topic many times if you didn't understand even for a single student. It is a great experience with teachers. The pass percentage of the university is 33%, but for 1 year it was 40%. Semester examinations are easy if you study. If you don't study, that's difficult.

DAV College, the life of youngsters.
Placements: I haven't passed out yet but my seniors have got placed. Not only by passing but also by finding out their ambitions through clubs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure to be honest is pretty basic and quite old, but the canteen food is fabulous. Hostel life is pretty interesting and affordable too. College offers many places for students to chill out inside the campus. The overall environment is pretty chill.
Faculty: Teachers are pretty supportive but only if students are sincere and cooperative with them. To be honest, they just ask students to be available regularly, and there's not much they ask for. Exams are pretty easy. There are mid-sem tests and then finals.

Dissatisfied with the quality, otherwise a good option.
Placements: We were not assured for placements, and hence, not provided with any. But I assume there could be placement guarantee for the students in business and commerce related courses. Bachelor of Arts does not assure of any such thing. The teachers can guide you otherwise.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are okay. Some classrooms need renovation, otherwise they are fine. The labs are well maintained. Library needs an updation for the books as those are too old editions. The college canteens are price and the food is not up to the mark, but an alternative to them could be eateries nearby. Medical facility isn't upto the mark, however an ambulance for the hostelers has been brought recently.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are serious and regular, while most of them are not. The curriculum is interesting. It is easy to score in internal tests, but scoring in final exams is a little difficult due to the uncertain checking by the University. You might not be able to score high, but can easily pass the semester exams.
Other: The college fests are rare and disorganised. However, college clubs can be a good forum for you to connect with similar people and make friends. Scholarships are available and easily accessible. Extracurricular activities take place once in a while.

Review of DAV College, Chandigarh.
Placements: In our college, almost 64% of students got placed in our course. The salary offered was Rs.17000 - Rs.25000 per month. Top recruiting companies like eClerx, Tasks, Teleperformance, Tech Mahindra, Concentrix, etc., visited our campus. Around 20% of students got internships at Tech Mahindra. Top roles offered were data analyst, manager, auditor, etc.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms were well-equipped. Projectors and air-conditioners were available in classrooms. Wi-Fi was available throughout the campus. Labs were available for practical purposes. Various clubs and activities were arranged to boost excitement and uphold a joyful and clean atmosphere. The hostel was good. The quality of the food was good. Medical facilities were available.
Faculty: Our teachers were Ph.D. holders. They were cooperative and helpful. The difficulty level of the exams is determined by Panjab University, having access to comprehensive study materials and guidance from teachers made it easier to succeed in the exams with a satisfactory percentage.
