Serenity of Janki Devi Memorial College, DU.
Placements: So I am reading for a B.A. English Honours and there are more than 60 students in my batch. The highest package is between 5 LPA and 8 LPA. EY, Accenture, Genpact, Zomato, Concentrix, etc. Students who got internship from my college are about 25-30 percent through the college's opportunity cell in digital marketing agencies, publishing houses, etc.
Infrastructure: JDMC provides a highly pleasing campus known across the Delhi University for its exceptional greenery, cleanliness, and solid infrastructural backing. If we talk about the hostel it features the modern infrastructure with triple-sharing rooms which comes with attached bathrooms, essential furniture, beds, tables, and wardrobes. The mess provides meals four times a day. The food quality is decent and hygienic with a good variety of items. The canteen is good plus the cafeteria serves a standard variety of snacks and refreshment at a very subsidised rate. JDMC maintains a medical room equipped with healthcare items and the sports room is standout feature.
Faculty: The faculty teachers are highly qualified with excellent teaching quality, and very approachable outside of lectures. The DU curriculum is relevant for critical thinking and writing also leans heavily towards theoretical analysis. Semester exams are moderately difficult requiring thorough reading of the text and analytical essay writing rather than memorisation. The pass percentage is quite high with over 90-95 percent students clearing exams.
Other: It offers excellent pathways for diverse fields like journalism, creative writing, public relations, etc. Best thing about the course is that it builds deep critical thinking lively classroom debates and exposure to world literature. Area of improvement students often wish for practical modules like digital content creation, publishing workshop, etc. In events we have symphony, the annual cultural fest of JDMC, we do have individual department fests as well, like Lumina by the English department which offers space for literary quizzes, poetry slams, and panel discussions. The campus vibe is progressive and highly vibrant plus active student societies like EVAM (dramatics), etc.

A JDMCian who tried her best to help you out.
Placements: The average package is around 1 LPA, but there are very few companies that come to recruit English Honours students. BCom students, however, may have better placement opportunities within the college.
Infrastructure: Our college provides facilities like Wi-Fi, air-conditioned labs, well-maintained classrooms, and a well-furnished library. I stayed in the hostel, and they offer excellent facilities to their students. The hostel, known as Krishna Hostel, is well-furnished and clean. The hostel committee also provides sports facilities to the students.
Faculty: The teachers are generally good and friendly. Some may be strict, especially in the English department, so be careful. The curriculum of the college is well-structured. The semester exams are not difficult as the teachers prepare their students well.
Other: I chose this course because I love reading novels, and if you are a literature lover, English Honours is a great choice. The faculty is supportive and helpful. One suggestion for improvement is that teachers should try to involve every student in discussions. The annual fest of JDMC is called Symphony, and it is held every year around January.

I am satisfied with our college.
Placements: Placements are not good in our course. They are still good for other courses like B.Com Hons, Maths Hons, Eco Hons, etc. Many opt for higher studies after graduation in English Hons or they land a job in teaching. Only a few get offers for positions like editor, content writer, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is average. Classrooms are also fine. The college also has 3 to 5 smart classrooms. A Wi-Fi facility is available. The hostel is well furnished. The food available in the mess and canteen is hygienic. The cafeteria is spacious, and snacks are available at reasonable prices. There are sports equipments available on the campus.
Faculty: Faculty members are quite good. Teachers are knowledgeable and cooperative with the students. They also provide notes and study materials as and when required. The curriculum is also quite relevant. Semester exams are not that difficult if a student is well versed in the topic. The passing percentage is around 55%.
Other: I aspire to become a teacher, and that's why I have taken this up. There are scholarships available for students who are not economically stable. Some toppers also get scholarships from the college itself. Events are conducted weekly. Students get opportunities to participate in various competitions. The annual fest, diwali mela, and NCC program are some of the prominent events of our college. There are a lot of clubs as well.

Good college experience! Nice infrastructure.
Placements: The placement cell of the College floats opportunities for internships or jobs wherein student can proactively participate. Students need to visit the website of Janki Devi Memorial College to get full placement information. Students generally opt for a masters in English hons or switch field as the job of a teacher is available later. After bachelors, students can look up for work in content writing, journalism, and marketing.
Infrastructure: Library has good resources. There is hostel facility as well for students coming from far off places. Canteen food is average and there's a small mother dairy outlet behind the canteen. Near that area, a medical room is present and there is space in the campus for sports related activities.
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable and teach well. Attendance is a bit strict so, students will have to make sure they maintain what is required. However, teachers work on elaborating students' perspectives and encourage researching habit. English hons is about reading and articulating. Teachers work hard and students need to do the same to maximize the benefit. Teachers try to make the class interactive too.

Review of Janki Devi Memorial College - JDM.
Placements: Placements in our college are not that good, and we have to struggle to find a job because it's not easy for an English( Hons ) student to find a placement. But still few students get the instant job of content writers and editors. Few of them even make it to some renowned newspapers.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is average. Rooms are airy, the chairs and benches are also fine. The hostel is good, well furnished and extremely comfortable to be in. The mess is average, and the food served is also average. But still, it's safe, and we get Wi-Fi signals.
Faculty: I am satisfied with the faculty members of our course. The department I study under is comprised of extremely intellectual and devoted teachers who give their best in order to teach and shape us well. The course curriculum is also well associated, and overall it's a good experience.
Other: Fests and events of our college are fun, and we do enjoy to some levels.

    I'm sorry to tell you that 59.6% is way too low for admission in any course in Delhi University. Look for some other institutions, mostly private institutions.
