Our college is worth taking admission.
Placements: All the students got placements in various government and private sectors depending on their specialisation. Some of them went for higher studies in M.Phil. Top recruiters were from various central as well as Delhi government departments. Top roles include counselors, family welfare officers, labor welfare officers, etc.
Infrastructure: Departments were established in 1936. It is nice and easily accessible with awesome infrastructure. Classrooms were very well-equipped with the necessary facilities. Hostel rooms were fine. Fee structure is very economical. Hostel is provided to all who are 80 km or more away from the college.
Faculty: Teachers were very cooperative, helpful, very well qualified, and possess great knowledge. Sanjay Bhatt is one of the teachers in the department who is an eminent personality among social work professionals in India. The course curriculum is very interesting and relevant. It includes fieldwork which helps students to use theoretical knowledge in practice. Semester exams were very easy if one studies the curriculum with interest.

Review of Delhi School of Social Work (DSSW).
Placements: About 100% of the students from our course got placed. The highest salary package offered in our course for some students is 9 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 4.20 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 3 LPA. Many top national companies like Vedanta, Trident Group, Centum Learning, Bharti Group, etc., visit our college for placements. Many times companies place those students who have scored 60% or above in academics. Top roles like corporate social responsibility, counselling, medical social worker, labour officer, NGO sector, policies maker in government, welfare officer, etc., are offered to the students.
Infrastructure: The department of social work is the only department on the campus who have their own hostel. Our college provides huge and knowledgeable books, and it is open for 9 hours every day. There is the easy availability of computer and Wi-Fi facility. Our department also provides pages and printout of reports and presentations. All classroom are air-conditioned. Our college provides a meeting room and other individual conference room. I am a day scholar, and so I do not much know about the hostel. The hostel facility is good, and it provides 2-sharing rooms. Food served in the mess is very good and full of nutrition. Our college provides sports and medical facilities.
Faculty: Faculty members in our department are very excellent. All teachers have much knowledge about their course. They know very well how to deliver the topics in students because of their skills and experiences. Teachers always use a projector for PDF and provide all material also on mail. The course curriculum is very much relatable. In today's world, social work is much needed for balancing the world situation because it is concern about policies, individual life, environment, health, etc.
Other: I have chosen this course because the diversification of this course attracts me. Students could make their career in different lines like government, private, non-government or self-work. I wish the college should increase the fieldwork days. The department of social work celebrates an annual day every year in November. Many events, debates and seminars are organised on current issues and important for our learning. The department is on North Campus, which is good for connectivity. Our college offers a healthy environment.

Absolutely satisfied by the faculty and placements.
Placements: Top institute in placements. 100% placement in DSSW. Outlook gave 1st position in India. It is a very good institution regarding placement. Senior batch had good placements, and the highest package offered to the students was 6 LPA. Mostly, all CSR companies visit the campus. Mostly, project manager and project co-ordinator posts are offered by the companies.
Infrastructure: Good infrastructure at Delhi University and outlook gave 2nd position in infrastructure in India. Separate air conditioning library is available for the students. Good quality of food is available in the canteen. The hostel rooms are comfortable. Also, the hostel mess is very good. It is very near from metro station.
Faculty: All the faculty members are very good and very helpful. All of them are very experienced and always help the students. The teachers use lecture and practical, both the teaching methods. This is practice-based professional course, so two days of every week is allotted to the field work. The course curriculum matches with UGC NET-JRF course curriculum.

Other: Being a student of DSSW, I am in touch with hundreds of alumni since my graduation days. I can confidently say that it is the best institute for social work in India. its 2nd oldest social work school and oldest in Asia to offer post graduation degree in social work. we have a very hectic academic session which involves working with an organisation for 2 days a week and 4 days classroom sessions. apart from this, we have a number of workshops, training sessions etc being conducted every week. After the 1st year, the students undergo summer internship with an organisation for 1-2 months. Companies and NGOs visit our college for recruiting interns. In the final year, students spend a complete week working in a rural area under the guidance of faculty members. It is more like a summer trip for us. Finally, by December, our companies start visiting the college for campus placement, by April all the students get placed with some organisation. On an average, the package is 35k/month. The college does not entertain any company offering less than 20k/month. Companies like King, Tata Power, Honda Motors, Reliance, HCL are regular recruiters. The college offers hostel to all outstation candidates and the annual fee for this course is just 13000. The Outlook magazine has been consistent in placing the college in top 2 social work schools in India.

Review of Delhi School of Social Work.
Placements: Once you are a part of the course at Delhi University, you are eligible for the universal placements drive for all students. I was eligible for the placement drive, and NGOs like Childline India, Katha, Goonj were represented in the drives. Many roles started with volunteering programs, and some even offered internships. The salary packages offered were a lot low to start with, but there was growth for the right candidate.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is like the other colleges. We had all the basic amenities one would need as a student. The colleges were surrounding the campus, and you'd find students everywhere. Streets and side shops were filled with students and juniors. There were many libraries but not as filling. Classrooms were huge and could accomodate the whole batch easily. The canteen was always full, and for sports, students had to travel to other colleges for playing.
Faculty: The course curriculum was standard as it is usually across the country. The staff and faculty members were knowledgeable and were interested in instilling the right values and motivation for a successful journey in this direction. Many students didn't know much when they joined the college, but the facultymembers and student activities helped to get a sense of career path we all have chosen. Students were industry-ready as the industry was ready for us.
