Infrastructure: They have a good infrastructure. They have huge libraries, and they also have good medical facilities for students. They have clean parks and grounds. They don't have any hotel facilities for us. However, there is a canteen which serves good quality food at a low price.

Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and supportive. All teachers are highly knowledgeable. They help all students, and if any students have doubts, they clear all doubts. Even during exam time, they tell very important things which are related to our exams by which we easily clear the exam.

Other: I have chosen this course as I want to learn about how our constitution work and how our government make rules for us. Even I also want to learn about the article and how they deal with. Even I want to change my stream. It also helps me in competitive exams.

There are many companies appeared for internship but I am not able to describe that as I were not present at the time of internship. So as soon as I will get information about it I'll upload it.

Faculty: Course in regular and open learning is exact same. The same is vast and practical. It gives professional purview of the finance, marketing and tax compliances. The same is updated as new regulations are notified by economy. The deep study and teaching by faculties on weekends. The Department of Commerce, SOL is primarily responsible for organizing lecture work for M.Com. Faculty from Department of Commerce, SOL, Department of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics and experienced faculty from other Colleges associated with Post-graduate teaching are engaged for M.Com Academic Counseling Session (PCP) Classes are organized on Sundays and other holidays.
