This college is really nice in infrastructure.

Placements: Actually, our college placement ratio is very good. Even one fourth of the students in most of the courses get placed at very good packages. Journalists and writers are the top roles. Students are placed in high companies and on TV channels as well.

Infrastructure: Colleges infrastructure is really good. Classrooms are nice. Library is very large with reading room and very much students can sit and study there at one time. Canteen food is average but very large in infrastructure. Sports and games are also active.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. Some have good attendance ratio, some come very rarely. Semester exams happen very fairly, and many students get 8+ CGPA. CGPA totally depends upon the students' determination. My course curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready if they are also interested.

Our college infrastructure is the best.

Placements: 70 to 80% students were placed in our college. The highest package offered was 20LPA, the lowest package offered was 2.5LPA, and the average package offered was 5.6LPA. IBL, ICICI, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra companies come every year, with a maximum of 50% students going for internships in Sales and marketing teaching. Some students were going to LL.B.

Infrastructure: Our college faculty members were the best in Delhi NCR. Infrastructure was also good, 20+ hi tech labs, smart classroom, best library, and 24x7 Wi-Fi available. Hostel life was the best. We do not feel we were staying in a hostel, it feels like home. Food was also very good, and there was a playground with games like cricket, football, etc.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful and supportive. Almost all teachers were Ph.D. holders and had a minimum of 2 years of experience in the study course curriculum, including other activities and training. Other companies training rate was the industry visit rate. The exam was not difficult. 70% students pass the exams.

Had a great experience in this college.

Placements: Students are enrolled through giving CUET exams, and if they then come in the cut-off list, then they get to be placed in colleges in DU like Deshbandhu. For placements, different companies come and interview you, and if you get passed, then only placed. Not such recruitments for this course.

Infrastructure: Love the infrastructure, thought it's not that big, but loved roaming and walking around, also there is availability of hostel, the classroom is decent, has a library which you can easily issue books. Though I haven't gotten into the hostel, I was going up and down from Faridabad to Kalkaji, so I could reach there on time.

Faculty: Talking about studies there, so there are qualified teachers, I have no hate for any teachers there, all are educated, and the way of teaching is good. I chose this course for my government exams preparation, other than that, it doesn't provide any effective curriculum. I joined the drama society there, and it was so good. I got exposure and had a chance to be a vice president of that society. And semesters are not that difficult to pass, I cleared easily.

Other: I chose this course for my government exam preparation, and to have other things in life, I joined the drama society in college. You will enjoy the crowd there, the college is good at organizing events so that students get exposure and lovers to enjoy in college and study well.

Deshbandhu College offers supportive teachers, active societies, and many growth opportunities.

Placements: Placements at Deshbandhu College are moderate. A few reputed companies visit the campus but most opportunities are better for commerce and economics students than for science streams. Many students prefer internships, higher studies, or preparing for exams like UPSC, CAT, or GATE. The placement cell is active but there is still scope for more big recruiters and diverse opportunities.

Infrastructure: The Physics department at Deshbandhu College has well-equipped laboratories and decent classroom facilities. The labs provide practical exposure with basic instruments, though some equipment feels outdated and could use modernization. The library support is helpful, and the overall infrastructure is functional, but there is definitely scope for more advanced resources to match the pace of modern research.

Faculty: Teachers are supportive and knowledgeable. They are always ready to guide us with patience, and their clear explanations and encouragement make learning easier. A bit more interactive teaching would make classes even better, but overall, they are truly inspiring mentors.

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.
