M.A. in English - Batch of 2025

3.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

My experience was quite good. The infrastructure was good. I recommend it to other students as well.

Placements: I just did my Master's there, and there was no placement offered for students of my course. This course does not include any kind of placement. I did a Master's in English.

Infrastructure: The library was really very good. One can find a lot of books to learn from there. Hostels were good, and the food quality was great. Emergency medical facilities were also available. I always wanted a good library with a lot of books based on literature and modern writing as well. I got it all there, that's why I liked the library very much.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified and helpful. Teaching quality was also great. Semester exams were moderate and depended upon how a student learnt except for books as well. One needs to prepare for exams not only through books, but also by taking the guidance of teachers. I really want to say that the teaching method of the teachers there and the nature of the students were very cooperative.

Other: I always wanted to study at a good college that provides great knowledge. No doubt, everything was very good, and when it comes to improvement, I don't think there is anything that I really want to change. They also have festivals, events, extra curricular activities that I loved to join.

B.Sc. (Hons.) in Biotechnology - Batch of 2026

2.2

Decent infrastructure, faculty, and facilities.

Placements: In my course, I have not seen any of my batchmates or my seniors who have got placements at any of the companies from my college. We are just made to do summer training in the subject of our department for curriculum purposes. Otherwise, there are no placements.

Infrastructure: They have made the Wi-Fi available for college students recently, which is still, despite that, not strong enough for the bare minimum internet usage to gain or access study materials for college studies. The internet in college is literally of no use.

Faculty: The faculty and curriculum of my college are decent. Some are excellent in their method of teaching, and the rest are decent. Not interactive at all and very hard to understand the concept from them, despite asking them again and again.

Other: I chose my course just as a side degree because I wanted to do something else. Nothing is better about my course. No proper equipment facilities and no proper management at all.

Absolutely would recommend anyone interested in college. It is one of a kind experience.

Placements: In B.A. Psychology, 21% of students got placed. The highest is 2-3 LPA, the lowest is 1-2 LPA. Detect companies and content companies were the highest recruiters. 27% from my course got internships. Content creators and administrative assistants were the top roles offered in the courses and also academic coordinators.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was decent and manageable for academic endeavors. Wi-Fi was available all throughout the campus, although the speed of it was very disappointing and sometimes didn't work at all. All the classrooms were well-ventilated, and the library was the best part of the experience.

Faculty: Teachers were well-qualified with a long teaching experience. They were always very helpful, whether the problem was related to studying or personal. The course is very relevant. The semester exams are relatively easy, with a 75% pass percentage without any scope of cheating, which is always good.

Other: I was interested in the humanities course as it provides flexibility in choosing subject combinations and helps in analytic thinking, reading, etc. The main area for improvement is practical and skill-based exposure.

3.0Placements3.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

Good campus and college life, but placement rates are not that good.

Placements: Placements are average, totally depending on students' skills. There are 422 students in the B.Com 1st year. HCL, Wipro, and Infosys are some top companies. Mostly, the students with skills and their communication skills got a good placement in top-notch companies. The top roles of my course B.Com are accountant and manager.

Infrastructure: The average infrastructure is not too good. Some classrooms are so good, but some classes are the worst. The benches in some classes are good, but in some classes they're not. The canteen is good with decent food prices. The sports ground is too big, and there is a cricket ground in the college.

Faculty: The teachers are really chill and helpful in my course, B.Com. They are good and qualified. The quality of education is good in DAV Chandigarh. The mid-semester exams are easy, and the pass percentage is 33 percent. The course is good and interesting. I personally like accounts and economics.

Other: I chose B.Com because I want to become a CA, and for CA, B.Com is the best degree to do because the syllabus is almost the same, and I have chosen this college because it's a good and reputable college in our city, Chandigarh. One main thing is that the fests and events are good in this college.

Enjoyable B.Com journey with good academics, but infrastructure needs improvement.

Placements: I completed my B.Com Degree in 2025 from DAV College, Chandigarh. Being a part of the 2022-2025 batch, I would say that my overall academic and professional experience is quite good. In our course, around 65-70% of the students are placed through campus placements. The highest package offered is around 8LPA, and the average is around 4-5LPA. Some of the top companies that recruited are ICICI Bank, Wipro, KPMG, Infosys, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities of the Commerce department were quite average due to frequent electricity fluctuations. The Wi-Fi facility is also quite decent as it did not provide adequate speed. The library is well-maintained with air conditioning, and borrowing is also a very easy process.

Faculty: The teachers are quite helpful, qualified, and approachable. The curriculum of the degree is relevant and covered important topics, but I feel that more industry-focused case studies could make it even better. As for the semester exams, they were of moderate difficulty, but with regular class notes and study, most students managed to score well.

Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in commerce and finance and DAV college had a good reputation providing strong academic support with placement opportunities. The best thing about my B.Com course is that it gives a strong foundation in subjects like accounting, business law, economics, and taxation, which are helpful if you want to pursue MBA, CA, or CS. That being said, I think there are a few things that can definitely improve. The courses could include practical workshops, more industry exposure, etc., which are helpful for one's future. Life on campus is lively, and the events and fests like annual youth fests, cultural programs, etc., made college life enjoyable and gave us opportunities beyond studies.

Well-structured journalism course with strong practical training and decent campus facilities.

Placements: Around 70% of students got placed from our journalism course. The highest package offered is 5.5 LPA, the lowest is 1.8 LPA, and the average package stood at 3 LPA. Top recruiters include NDTV, Dainik Bhaskar, The Indian Express, and Zee Media. Nearly 60% of students secured internships in companies like India Today, The Quint, and News18. The top roles offered are reporter, content writers, copy editor, social media executive, and digital journalism.

Infrastructure: The journalism department offers well-equipped classrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, a media lab, and a resourceful library. Hostels are clean with basic amenities. The mess serves hygienic food, and the canteen offers affordable snacks. Medical facilities are available on campus, and students have access to sports grounds and indoor games for recreation.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable, offering practical insights alongside theory. The curriculum is industry-relevant, covering core journalism skills and digital media trends, making students job-ready. Semester exams are moderately challenging but fair. The pass percentage is around 85%-90%, reflecting strong academic support and student performance.

Other: I chose diploma in journalism because of my passion for storytelling, media and desire to build career in the communication industry. The best part of the course is its practical exposure, with real time assignments, media labs and industry focused curriculum. I wish there were more guest lectures and field visits to gain deeper insights into newsroom functioning. The campus has a friendly crowd, decent infrastructure and regular events and fests that keep the environment vibrant. Public transport connectivity is good, and scholarships are available for deserving students. Extracurricular activities add to overall student development and creativity.
