Underrated college in South Campus.

Placements: As I have not placed till now, the placements are very good enough. Many famous companies visit, and from my side, as I have heard, for B.A., the package is very low, but B.Com receives very good packages and placements. Many famous companies like HCL, Amazon, Flipkart, etc., visit Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Internships are available from the 2nd year onwards.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good enough, and if we talk about the hostels, hostels are not provided in every college of DU. Some colleges have hostels, but the hostels are not good enough. Food quality is really very good, the mess and canteen are very good, neat, and clean, and the sports ground is also big.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. The quality of teachers is good. This course is very good enough for art students; basically, it’s very good. Semester exams are totally dependent on the PYQ. The same questions come in the PYQ. Passing marks for every paper differ as per the total marks.

Other: The fests also take place, the crowd is good enough, and connectivity is also like the metro station available. Scholarships are also provided as per the criteria, and activities of sports happen.

Satisfied with the college, there was an opportunity to do lots of things.

Placements: As I am not from a commerce background, and am a humanities student, there were not that many placement opportunities for our course. But, yes, there were some placements in humanities in a limited number. However, there were mainly placement opportunities available in B.Com, Economics, and other courses that have higher placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was average, but, yes, there was rapid growth/construction on the campus. Measures were taken by the administration to improve infrastructure, which is impressive. Yes, there were still lots of sectors for improvement. The library was under renovation, and the playground was also under renovation. It's going to be completed in a few months.

Faculty: The curriculum is good, not bad—kind of average. However, it was designed for better delivery of education to students and personality development. As for the faculty, it varies depending on who teaches. Some professors give their best to clear doubts, while some are just teaching in their ways from the 1990s. So, it varies.

Other: As this is a government institution [central university], funded directly by the central government, the fees were low compared to private universities. Due to its location in Delhi (the capital), it provides lots of opportunities. The crowd and campus are good. Yes, you will find stone smokers & drinkers as well outside the campus, but yes, there was strict prohibition, so you may find such people or students outside the campus, but not inside the campus.

SBSC: A unique college offering challenges and opportunities.

Placements: Shaheed Bhagat Singh College is mostly a commerce centric college. The placements vary but generally only commerce students get placed. We do have a placements cell but the jobs offered to non-commerce students, especially Humanities students are very mediocre at best and range only about 3 LPA-6 LPA at most.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, the college is great and Principal Proof. We have smart boards installed in the classes, seminar hall styled classrooms, new entire floors dedicated to teaching and library, etc.

Faculty: Faculty-wise, we recently had permanent interviews for all the departments. Hence, all the faculty members are mostly new and top-notch in the University. The curriculum is obviously the best what DU offers for the course. The exams are conducted in a smooth fashion with timely updates on our college portals and website.

Other: I chose B.A. History Hons. as my course mainly due to my interest in the discipline and the fact that it would help me in my preparation for civil services. The college provided me an excellent space to develop my studies in the field with equal range of co-curricular activities. The student aid found/scholarships are provided to the needy students. Events are also frequently happening on-campus which add to the college life. Overall, the campus crowd is great and adds to the overall experience as an undergraduate student studying in DU.

SBSC, that lies in south campus.

Placements: As I mentioned, I am from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Delhi University. My college is best known for commerce and business courses like B.Com. and B.Com. (Hons). My course history hons doesn't have any placement, so one needs to study further and prepare for competitive exams or teaching exams like Net. In commerce, it has shown the best results in placement drives over the past few years; the average CTC is INR 3-5 lacs per year, and the highest placement was INR 20.5 lacs. Around 50–60% of students were placed in the placement drive. The top recruiters were KPMG India, Ernst & Young, PWC India, and various other startups.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure for my course were good. Classrooms are nice, the library is very good and has a computer section. The whole area is fully air conditioned, and various newspapers, magazines, and foreign books are available to students. This college doesn't have a hostel, so students from outside have to rely on PGs. But the college has a canteen and cafeteria that serve the best quality food. The college has a big gym, a basketball coach, a tennis court, and an indoor games facility that is also very good.

Faculty: Faculties are good; although some teachers are somehow strict, but they are well qualified. Various teachers are authors of books that are used in exams and even in the civil service exams. The curriculum is fully relevant for one to be industry-ready. Various students have cracked placement drives simply by putting effort into classes and extracurricular activities. The semester exams are not difficult at all; Du College repeats the past year's questions in the exam. One can get good marks just by studying for 10 years one month prior to exams. The passing rate is 35% in both internal and semester exams. If one fails an internal exam, then he or she has scored approximately 40% in semester exams.

Other: I chose this subject (B.A. History Hons.) because of my personal priority for it. The best thing about this course is that it includes all dimensions of study, like political science in modern history, geography in understanding the history of the era or region, and other applied sciences. Things I would recommend for its improvement are the general deletion of big-rile assignments, which are unnecessarily there and one has to submit for the sake of marks without having basic knowledge of them. The events at SBSC are really good, and great speakers, singers, actors, and politicians have also arrived at the fest. The campus crowd in SBSC is more diverse than any other college in Delhi; students come from nearly every state of India, and even some foreign students are studying there. The connectivity is also good, as it has a Chirag Delhi metro station within walking distance and a bus stop at Sheikh Sarai nearly 80 metres away from the college. But traffic in rush hours is hectic at Sheikh Sarai, and a new metro line is being developed for greater connectivity.

Life at Shaheed Bhagat Singh, short and crispy.
