India's Topnotch College for Economics.
Placements: Around 80 percent of students are placed in my course. The highest package of all time was 48 Lacs per annum, and last year the highest was 45 Lacs per annum, with the average around 12 Lacs per annum. Top recruiters are EY, Deloitte, and Bank of America, etc. Taking an internship is very hard at this time, but if you have extraordinary skills, you can have a chance to get the internship. As economics, our top role in MNCs is data analysis, etc.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good but not too modern. Yes, Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, or the library are too good. There are no hostel facilities here, and the mess is very good and affordable. Sports facilities are not here because, as we know, it is a top economic college for Economics.
Faculty: The teachers are top-notch because they are very well qualified, and their teaching skills are too difficult to understand. But I want to say that if you put in effort, it is not difficult. The course is very relevant and gives you higher thinking and business development, so the course is very good. The semester examination is very hard, and the passing percentage is at least 40 percent; you have to score that.
Other: Because I did my graduation in economics, and after this course, the next best option is this only in India, I think. I think the placement cell needs to be operated by dedicated staff. Scholarships come, and you think your course fee is returned to you because the course fee is very low, and the scholarship is above the course fee.

Absolutely satisfied with faculty, good placements in 2017 and good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: The placement cell of our college is working very good. Placement in our batch is also in a good number. The highest salary offered last year is Rs. 5 LPA. Many companies come to our college for placements. In 2017 placements were less, though the placements are good here. The maximum salary package offered here is Rs. 16 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not up to mark. But it has improved a lot since last year. There is no Wi-Fi facility for the students in the college. The quality of the class is average. Hostel rooms are amazing. The canteen food has also improved a lot.
Faculty: The faculty are qualified and knowledgeable. Some teachers are quite helpful, but some are not. The teachers here used chalk and board for teaching. We didnt get any industrial exposure. The curriculum was helpful, but not practical. The student to faculty ratio is not up to the mark.

I don't like this college, there are no placement facilities and not good faculty.
Placements: No placements are provided by the University of Delhi. There was no stipend, and it's only a correspondence college. This university is not efficient to make a career for students. It's only for time pass. All the faculty are poor.
Infrastructure: There is no Wi-Fi facility, and there was a library, and it is very useful for me. No canteen, labs, classroom, medical facilities, sports and fitness are very poor. No facility is provided by the college. The whole college is poor.
Faculty: The teachers are not helpful, knowledgeable, but do not teach well. Only B.Com commerce students can apply from this college, all other students don't apply for any course. It is not useful for any student.
