It is the best college. You definitely have to go to this college.

Placements: My batch was 2022 batch, the new and the first batch of NEP. As my course is not a professional one, but under this course we can get many different opportunities in the field of political science to make our career in the field of political science.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of the college are good. As my course is not a practical-based course, it is a theoretical so we don't need any labs for that but instead of this, another college provides one of the biggest libraries to you. So many collections of books are there which help us in our studies.

Faculty: My college comes in under 5 of all in over DU which provides the best education in the field of political science. Professors at my college are good. They help the students not only in their studies but also in other studies like government jobs, UPSC, and SSC.

Other: Campus life in college is amazing. It has very nice environment. College is very good. The crowd on campus is high. Our college also provides scholarships to those students who are economically backward. All over my college is the best, and I surely prefer this college for my graduation in DU.

Satisfied with the college infrastructure.

Placements: Around 25% of students are placed in our course. Companies of my course are mainly from Universitykart or Shiksha. Top roles are mainly IAS, IPS, or any Group B role in government jobs. The highest package is around Rs 8 LPA, average package is about 4 LPA, and the lowest is around 1 LPA.

Infrastructure: There is a very good infrastructure for my course. The department of our college is the best in our college. The library of our college is the best as compared to other colleges. Our college does not provide any hostel facilities. The quality of food available in the canteen and cafeteria is quite good. Sports and games facilities are quite good.

Faculty: Professors are very helpful regarding the studies, the syllabus, and further studies. The course curriculum is relevant for further studies. It also helps in making students industry-ready. Semester exams at our college are not that difficult. These are quite easy. The pass percentage is around 6 CGPA.

Other: I am always interested in this course, and I am always wanted to pursue it. The best thing about my course is that its syllabus is also relevant for government exams. I do not think that my course requires any improvisation. The event of our department society (Polienz) which is named as Rubaru is organised superbly.

Decent infrastructure and facilities. Absolutely dissatisfied because of its faculty members.

Placements: Talking about the overall placements, it's not that great but there are internship events every year which give a lot of opportunities. But for jobs, you should not just be dependent on college placements. The companies that take part don't even offer that much as compared to the posts they offer.

Infrastructure: College infrastructure is fine. A separate science block just for labs and lecture halls for different courses like computer science, botany, zoology anatomy, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. There is a new block for daily classes which has big rooms and great ventilation. There is also a lagre library with computer facilities. College also has sports facilities as well as gymnastics. There is a canteen and a cafeteria in the college. They serve decent quality food. I mostly prefer getting cafeteria food. But the Wi-Fi connection is not good in college. Overall, network connectivity is also bad.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. All of them have Ph.D. in their respective subjects. But the main problem is their absence. Some teachers are regular while some of them don't take classes or postpone according to their schedule and do not even bother asking students if others are comfortable with the timings. About the course, we have to study physics, mathematics, computer science, general electives course (GE), value addition course (VAC), skill enhancement course (SEC), and ability enhancement course (AEC). Every semester, you have to choose a new GE, SEC, VAC, or AEC. Overall, exams are easy.

Other: I want that faculty members should be more serious about teaching. Although there's always some event going on in my college with different departments, anyone can participate and take advantage. Some events also invite inspiring chief guests whom we can meet and talk to. For the annual college fest, it's good but sometimes the crowd gets out of control and makes a mess of the whole fest.

Satisfied with college faculty members.

Placements: Till now 16% of students get placed. The highest package offered is 28 LPA, the lowest is 20 LPA, and average is 24 LPA. No idea about the companies recruitment. But around 45% of students got internships in my course. Top roles offered in this course are in journalism, language translation, and lecturer.

Infrastructure: In this college, we have Wi-Fi for study and common rooms. There is no hostel in college. Medical facilities are satisfactory. The classroom environment is good. Best infrastructure of library with all the books available and individual as well as group study rooms.

Faculty: Our college has helpful teachers with more than 15 years of teaching experience, and best teaching quality. Our department has relevant course curriculum. If you have well prepared for the exam then the semester exams are quite easy. The passing percentage is 6 GPA for semesters as well as for the year.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in literature and novels. The best thing about this is that you get to know more about foreign literature as well as about Indian culture like the ancient stories that we heard from our parents. Events here are really good. The annual fest and other events are very cheerful. The extracurricular activities in societies and clubs are also interesting.

Satisfied with fine faculty, infrastructure, and facilities.

Placements: I secured 7 CGPA in my course. In my college, there is a cell for placement which works on it, and it provides placement for us. I get some notifications but I am not willing to do any job right now. So I do not know much about the exact figure or opportunities for a job.

Infrastructure: Our classroom and library are so good. Canteen is not so hygienic yet budget-friendly for us. They provide sports and medical facilities as well. There is no hostel facility. We have to live nearby PG or flat rented. Labs are so stunning at Deshbandhu.

Faculty: We have very nice faculty members in my college. They always try to let us understand all the things we stuck down. In my point of view, it is very relevant for human nature. I studied as per my understanding and easily get passed so there is no hurdle in it.

Other: I chose this course because of my strong will to study political science, and I am so glad to have this wonderful opportunity to learn it. This college enhanced my career.

Review of Deshbandhu College, University of Delhi.

Placements: About 200+ students are assigned to this course every year. There is no package offered in our course, but you will get many internship opportunities so that you can learn some extra skills and later make it a way of earning. Totally, it's just a bachelor's degree, which you can use as a certificate that you have completed your bachelor's.

Infrastructure: The ranking of our college in NIRF is 17, but this doesn't allow us to define the infrastructure correctly. There are 4 blocks in our college. Total rooms of about more than 100 classrooms, labs, and conference rooms. There is also an auditorium. Main infrastructure is the library, as our college has the largest library in DU. Mainly all course books are available in the library, as students didn't purchase their course books nor read .

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and very knowledgeable, but not all teachers are willing to help. The process of filling out courses and other examination things is some kind of not well established. Every year students face some problems but are solved by administration, as they are very helpful but some teachers are not helpful. The difficulty level of the semester exam is average but high in other courses like Physics Hons.

Other: I chose this course so I can get to know about these subjects because I want to prepare for UPSC, and we all know that these subjects are important. The main attraction of our college is fests and cultural events that usually happen every day. Main annual fest is Sabrang, which usually happens during winters and there are many fests like Diwali fest, Dandiya Night, etc.
