Review of Motilal Nehru College.
Placements: There was no placement for history students. If you had the hunger to learn, you got great opportunities there. The best part was that the commerce society was the best in our college because it provided a lot of internship and job opportunities to students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college was so beautiful. We also had a mountain-like structure at the back of our college. The classrooms were good and all were equipped with AC. The water facilities were good, and we always got clean water. The library was one of the best among all the South campus colleges.
Faculty: Professors of our faculty were very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They taught very well in bilingual languages like Hindi and English. Even though the course was great, there was a problem in history. There were not many opportunities in the field. So if you were taking it, you needed to think carefully before taking it. Very few workshops were organized. The workshops and events depended entirely on the department head.
Other: The best thing about our course was that we studied history through various concepts. Which made us understand history much better and more clearly. It showed that history should not only be in books but should also include some practical things.

Absolutely satisfied because of honors faculty; infrastructure is above average.
Placements: A maximum of 10 students can get placed, and regarding the package, it is only 10,000 or 20,000, which is not a good amount as per the conditions. Talking about the type of students, it is a selected number of students, and only from some particular courses in commerce.
Infrastructure: I personally wanted to share this information: the infrastructure for honors courses is quite good, but in the case of program courses, no rooms with ACs are provided to them. So basically, they find it difficult to study as all AC-affiliated rooms are provided to honors students.
Faculty: This is the only aspect I personally feel blessed about—the highly educated and well-behaved faculty that always supports students. The faculty provides emotional support, which a student needs, and also encourages them in failure to keep the morale high.
Other: I chose this course because it was essential in CSE. The best thing about my course is that it is actually developing a sense of the chronological past of India. I wish there were better events conducted joyfully.

The faculty is awesome, but the infrastructure is average.
Placements: If we look at the placements, they are recorded as low as compared to the other colleges of Delhi University, but many of the big MNCs reach out here through the placement cell. Basically, the commerce department students get benefitted by it; the rest rarely get a chance.
Infrastructure: No hostel is available. The Wi-Fi facility on campus is there. A huge library with more than 3 Lacs of books and many newspapers and magazines is available. Science Lab (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) and Computer labs are there. The canteen is there with a cheaper rate and a delicious taste. A big sports ground, including football, basketball, volleyball, and cricket, is there. Medical facilities are available from Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Faculty: The college has highly qualified professors with good teaching experience. The curriculum is purely based on the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Exams are conducted on a regular basis for the duration of six months, i.e., semester exams. All bachelor's courses like B.A., B.Com., and B.Sc. are available.
Other: The faculty is excellent, but the infrastructure is average; however, you will enjoy the society's fests and events.

It is an average college with infrastructure.
Placements: Placement cell of our college is good. Around 40% to 50% of placements were provided in the previous year which is less. The salary package offered on campus is 10 LPA to 12 LPA and the lowest salary package is 4 LPA. Placements are majorly provided by BPOs and other companies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is average. Hostel is not available in our college. There are 9 good classrooms in the jubilee block which were constructed recently. Other classrooms in the main and old buildings are not good. Wi-Fi doesn't work well and it only works in the library. Library is good with the best infrastructure and a lot of books. The canteen is cheap and the food served is good according to the price.
Faculty: The pass percentage is 99%. Faculty members in our college are very good and well-qualified with Ph.D. in their respective fields. Faculty members of the history course are the best, supportive, and helpful. They completed the syllabus on time. Semester exams are the same as university exams that are easy for the majority of students.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to research this subject. The best part of our course is its syllabus covers major world history including the history of Europe and the USA. Indian history is covered in detail. Social formation teaches students how society was formed. Improvements are not needed.

We play football, volleyball, basketball, cricket, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members are the best part of our college. All of them are humble and always ready to help us. They cleared our doubts. They used to conduct classes on time. All of them are highly qualified and knowledgeable.
