Review of Dayal Singh College, Delhi University.
Placements: College placement is not that good. But I would rate it average. About 39 to 40% students get placed every year. The highest package is 21 Lacs per annum, and the lowest is 7 to 8 Lacs per annum. Top recruiting companies are Zomato, Swiggy, and Amazon. About 70% of students got internships from my course in tech companies such as HR Manager. Roles offered in Amazon are language translator, manager, and specialists.
Infrastructure: There is no hostel in Dayal Singh College. But there is a canteen, and it provides good, healthy food to students. I don't know about the medical facility, but the sports facility is very nice. Our college has a common cricket and football ground and separate grounds for volleyball, basketball, kabaddi, etc.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, and they all have done Ph.D. in their respective departments. They are highly qualified and very experienced. The semester exams' difficulty level is not too high. Medium-type questions come in the exam. But for 12 marks, you need to write about 5 to 6 pages and make a diagram to get full marks.
Other: I chose this course because it is a demanding subject for UPSC. They just need to modify or paint the building. Events are organized here every year in February or March. There is a good auditorium for events. Metro JLN Stadium shares a wall boundary with the college.
