Life at Dyal Singh College.

Placements: I recently saw that our college placement reaches 36 LPA, and the average package is somewhere around 6 LPA. The placement cell is active, due to which opportunities come on time. The college image is also good. Companies like ICICI and HDFC come here.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. There are parks, playgrounds, and labs. The college has its own student parking and red benches to rest, which are OG. The canteen is average, but the samosas are good. There is also a seminar hall, an auditorium, and a basketball court. The library is OG. You can get every possible book to increase your knowledge.

Faculty: The Philosophy faculty is good. The college offers a decent curriculum, and the seniors are good. They never disturb you.

Other: The crowd is decent. Like most DU colleges, it has a good campus environment. It is on the South Campus, and you can make good connections here and get opportunities. The course is very interesting, and if you join, you will have fun.

Beyond college, this is a short review of my college, Dayal Singh of Delhi University.

Placements: There are 70 students in my course of philosophy honours at Dyal Singh College, and this course does not have any recruiting companies or an average package, but full of memories and knowledge that is given to the student. We get the real experience of specialisation in Delhi. But in the commerce department, there are placements and many companies are approached every year, and they get an average of five LPA income.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Dayal Singh College is quite good, and it is a very large college, including an NCC ground, which is the largest DU with other football ground, basketball ground and kabaddi ground. There are other things like the auditorium and EP theatre for social purposes.

Faculty: NBA owners' philosophy of Dayal Singh College faculty is quite good, TIC Prakhar, sir, and the best of the best teachers like Rachel sir, Swati mam and Ghazala mam with all experiences and excellent professors in their field. They have written about many social problems and articles regarding social concerns.

Other: I am from an arts background. I have taken arts in my 12th, so philosophy is quite interesting for me, and I love to read and choose the course of my own interest so that I can study with my own interest without any pressure.

I'm satisfied that I got this course, but its infrastructure is not good, and the crowd is decent.

Placements: Actually, most students opt for this course because they want to make this subject optional for UPSC and other competitive examinations. Graduating from this course will not help you get placements. You have to do Ph.D. for placements or prepare for some competitive examinations.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is poor, it should be renovated. My college doesn't have its own hostel. The library is average, it contains a good number of books and papers. The college surroundings are not cleaned regularly. The condition of the classroom is also not good, and the auditorium is also not good, their speakers and chairs are not good enough.

Faculty: My faculty was average, they have good teachers, and there are also some teachers who are not up to the mark. The course curriculum is still relevant, and if we go through this properly, we'll be ready for life more than the industries. The exam level is average, if you're regular, then it'll be easy for anyone to pass.

Knowledgeable and experienced teachers, good infrastructure, facilities, campus location are great.

Placements: Honesty, B.A. Philosophy hons program has been recently introduced at Dyal Singh College. It was started in the year 2022 so the philosophy department is the smallest department of the college as of now. None of the batch has passed out from the college yet. So, there's no data regarding the placements in this specific course.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are spacious and well-maintained with projectors and whiteboards. Library is quite big with a vast collection of books, journals, and other helpful resources. The food available in the canteen is good in general with variety of options at decent prices. There's a sports and games room and students are provided with equipments and resources required. Although, there is no hostel at the college. Students can get themselves a PG/ hostel in the near locations easily at an affordable cost.

Faculty: The department of Philosophy is the smallest as of now but the faculty members are qualified and knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. They teach based on their interests and expertise, which can make their classes engaging. The curriculum for philosophy hons provides a deep understanding of philosophical concepts and theories. While it may not directly prepare students for specific industries, it develops critical thinking and analytical thinking. Semester exams can be challenging, but the difficulty level varies depending on individual preparation. The exam structure typically includes regular assessments, assignments, projects, presentations, and viva.

Other: I chose to pursue this course as it aligns with my interests the best and I wish to pursue a masters in the same field. Apart from the studies, this college is extremely beneficial to those who are active in extracurricular activities. College has numerous clubs, societies, and other events which help students to engage and help them to grow, and experience different things apart from their studies. College connectivity with the metro is another plus point. The college is located at the existing JLN stadium. The campus crowd is decent and helpful majorly.

Insights into DSC, Delhi University.

Placements: For the most part, liberal arts courses don't get placements, but the computer science department at my college does. The average salary package is around 6 LPA, with companies like TCS recruiting candidates. There is an internship cell in our college that covers a wide range of companies, including Boat, AIM, and Naario.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is average. The lecture rooms and even the football field were not very comfortable. The canteen was spacious but the food quality was only average and the prices were too high. The library had wifi but it didn't work throughout the library and there were not enough plug points or air conditioning.

Faculty: The philosophy department at Delhi University doesn't even have enough teachers to cover all the core subjects, and the teachers they do have are not very good. The department wasn't even formed until 2024. In my opinion, the political science department is the best of a bad lot. The exams are not too tough and can be tackled by studying past question papers.

Other: I like the course because it teaches critical thinking and debating skills. However, the faculty is not very good. The campus is average, and there are not many glamorous events or fests. The crowd is also average.

Overall, it's a good choice to study here.

Placements: The highest package offered for this course is INR 36 LPA with a median package of 5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Wipro, D.E. Shaw Group, KPMG Global Services and many more. Top roles offered in this course are content writers, civil services, academics, journalism, law and ethics, business analyst, policy analyst, research assistant and more.

Infrastructure: We had our all classes for bachelors at Dyal Singh College and it's infrastructure is really good. Spanning around 11.8 acres. The facilities such as Wi-Fi and library, everything is good. Colleges have all essential facilities like pure water, good food and medical care as well. We don't have a hostel in our college. One needs to find a PG or hostel in nearby localities of the college.

Faculty: The faculty were very helpful and always willing to help students with their coursework. They provided enough student materials and question papers to help us prepare for our exams and future careers. To gain admission to the college, one needs to clear the CUET entrance exam.

Other: This course can help you become a real person, which one always talks about. This course teaches you how you should ACT—what to think, what to say—and make us perfect for our Ife. As it includes subjects like ethics and morality, which itself meant doing only what is right for everyone as well as for you. It should have hostels for both girls and boys separately, as it's hard to manage living in different states.

Dyal Singh is one of the best colleges in DU, having all the characteristics.

Placements: There is not much placement given in the philosophy department by our college. Recruitment companies for me are Jindal Law Groups for lawyers and universities for professors, with the lowest being 4 to 5 LPA. Most students got internships in companies for various positions like sales and marketing, telecommunications, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. In the library, our course books are available, and it is fully air-conditioned. There are labs where we go for practicals. Our college also provides us with Wi-Fi. There is an NCC ground on campus. The food in our college canteen is good and affordable. There is no hostel on the college campus, but medical facilities and multiple sports facilities are available.

Faculty: We have very good teachers in our college who help us a lot. They are well-read and knowledgeable. Their teaching method is very simple and clear, which helps us understand. The exam pattern of our course is a bit challenging. If we study well, we can score very well. The pass percentage in our college is 40% in both theory and practical for all subjects.

Other: Philosophy is a very interesting subject. I chose philosophy to understand why it's considered the mother of all subjects, to learn about epistemology, metaphysics, cosmology, how to live, and many more unthinkable questions to find answers. In our college, events and fests are organized.
