Something sweet and new in life.

Placements: We have a placement cell called E cell but it is not very active because it is only run by students and teachers do not work much in that cell. Most students after their graduation apply for a Masters which is why our college does not work on placements of students.

Infrastructure: We do not have any hostel facilities available in our college due to the residential areas. You can find some affordable PGs near the Hauz Khas area and the metro services are also present. Infrastructures are good we have spacious labs with major equipment of food industries and we also have Wi-Fi available, a library well ventilated classrooms and a canteen.

Faculty: Teachers are very experienced and helpful. They are considerate they help us with doubts books and notes. They use different teaching methods such as blackboard PPTs and group discussion to make the topic simpler and understandable. The course is industry friendly we learn how to use equipment in industrial area. The semester exams are easy with a 50 percent passing mark.

Other: I chose this course because it is something different unique and very interesting. The best thing about this course is that we can start our own start ups in the future. If we can actually see that the equipment is working in real life. The ones we read in textbooks will be more interactive and understandable. We only have one fest which is the annual fest Feria which is a very enthusiastic enjoyable and cool fest of our college.

Not exactly what I expected but manageable.

Placements: My college has a placement cell but it is not very active. Most of the students prefer to do a master directly after graduation. My college does not work on the placement cell that much. If you want to get an internship then you can apply on your own. Even our professor suggests that we use our summer break for internships.

Infrastructure: My college has two blocks namely A and B. Block A is the holder so it has canteen library, admin office and accounts office. Block B is newer so it has a conference room and more spacious labs. The classrooms are well ventilated and get more natural light. Our college does not have any hostel facilities available because of the residential area nearby but you can find many affordable PGs near Hauz Khas.

Faculty: The professors of my course are very knowledgeable and experienced. They know the topics very well, and they use PPTs to explain the difficult topics more clearly. They help us with the reference books notes and our doubts. Curriculum is relevant in the case we study. The modern technologies will eventually help us in the industrial area.

Other: I chose this course because it is very fascinating. Good food reacts inside our body and helps us to nourish and grow. I really like food Science the Science behind the food we eat. I really like the processing techniques that help us supply the food to different parts of the world. The best things about this course are that not only can you directly go into the industrial sector. You can also create your own product which is a super cool thing about food technology.

It is a mixed but generally positive review as it supports our future.

Placements: The highest percentage of students is 90%. The highest package is 2-3 LPA, and the lowest is 1 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Haldiram and Coca-Cola. 70-80% students get an internship through society contacts. Roles offered are Food Nutritionist and Food Technologist.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good but not very good. Classrooms are cleaned and have average infrastructure. There is no hostel here. The canteen is good and hygienic, but the prices are slightly high for students. For sports, college participation is good in inter-college competition.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and well-explanatory except for 2-3. It makes students ready for the industry, but we haven't visited any industry yet, and it ensures to offer that. The semester exams are not that tough if you study well, as teachers also support, and the pass percentage is around 91%.

Good academics here, but it lacks placement.

Placements: I mean, the academics are great in our college, but placement isn't, and very few get placed, that too with low LPA. There is a nice job, Mela or something, for placements, and points on ships you have to do on your own, and sometimes they don't even give you a recommendation letter.

Infrastructure: We don't have a hostel. Infrastructure is okay, but not much space. The college canteen is okay as it changes from semester to semester, and the faculty and infrastructure are okay, but there is not much to explore. You know, sometimes you need not only to be stuck in subjects and studies. You need something to explore, but there aren't many areas, playgrounds, or anything.

Faculty: Teachers are good, and attendance is mandatory. They maintain a good standard and are very knowledgeable, as well as having good behavior. This semester, exams are moderate or hard, not easy. The subject I am in or the course I am in is related to the industry.

Other: The fest was okay, as there isn't much space for a crowd, but still, it's enjoyable.

I am quite satisfied as I have learned a lot of things during my time here.

Placements: There are no such good companies for placements. Mostly, NGO comes for unpaid volunteering. If good companies come it is difficult to crack their interviews if we aren't fully prepared. We have a placement cell also called Eminence. It tries its best to bring good organisations.

Infrastructure: We don't have any hostels. The infrastructure is also very small. It is like 2 blocks only, but it is sufficient according to the number of students. Being a girls' college, we don't need much space to let you know how to roam around, etc. Because we have such a busy timetable for the whole day.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful. The course curriculum is very vast, as it contains various interesting subjects. The course curriculum is relevant. I guess it does make students ready for vast fields such as HR, nutritionist, Journalism, B.El.Ed, etc. Semester exams are not that hard either.

Other: I chose this course because it gives me a lot of career choices. I guess subject choices should be given to students. It organises our cultural fest named Feria, and other small fests also.

It has a good learning experience.

Placements: The placement cell in the Institute of Home Economics is active but limited in terms of opportunities. Only a small percentage of students get placed, mostly in education, NGOs, or internships. Many students prefer higher studies or competitive exams. The college focuses more on skill development than direct job placements.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is average. Classrooms are decent, and labs have basic equipment. Wi-Fi is slow and often unreliable. Hostel facilities are manageable, but the quality of the mess food needs improvement. Sports facilities and medical help are limited.

Faculty: Faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. The teaching methods should be more interactive and easy. The course curriculum is fairly relevant but needs updating for better industry alignment. Exams are moderately tough, and the average pass rate is decent.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in the field and the practical exposure it provides. The best part is the supportive faculty and hands-on learning. I wish campus events and extracurricular activities were more frequent. The campus crowd is friendly and diverse.

It can fluctuate from year to year but, in general the Institute of Home Economics (IHE), University of Delhi (DU) is preferred and there is always a great deal of rivalry to get in. Since it is a women's college then the number of applicants may be few compared to co-educational institutions.
