The infrastructure is very good.
Placements: In my course, mostly students pursue a master's degree, they do not get placement, and average package is about 2-3 LPA, but in other courses, placement package are going to 8 to 9 LPA and it is average package in our college. Placement cell works very well.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. Wi-Fi, campus clean and RO water, well mentioned laboratory and well maintained library, overall infrastructure are very good. In our college campus greenery are present, water supply is very good and best faculty, everything is very good in our college.
Faculty: Shyam Lal College comes under University of Delhi, so its exam pattern is very good and it's helpful in our daily life and knowledge. Our college and its study curriculum is designed to enhance our knowledge and our character, also, and it includes both practical and theoretical learning.

A glimpse of Shyam Lal College.
Placements: Every year, our college conducts a placement drive for students, and many companies come there to select the students. That drive held for 3-4 days, and many students got the placement mostly from the commerce department. Students also got internships in many companies and a good stipend too.
Infrastructure: Our college campus is very big. We have two big buildings, an open auditorium, many gardens, a big sports ground, labs, Wi-Fi availability, and many more. College doesn't have a hostel that's a drawback. College provides medical facilities. Canteen is also there, and the prices are very reasonable. Sports facilities are also there.
Faculty: Teachers help a lot with solving questions, provide help in practical, and are very supportive of the students. Semester exams are of moderate level, not too tough. Previous year questions help you a lot. Around 80% of students pass the exam and score a good CGPA.

A very decent college. If you're taking admission in this college, don't have high hopes with it.
Placements: The placement faculty is bad, as what I have heard until now. You might get placement, but the package will be very low. The highest package that you might grab from here might be less than the average package of some colleges. Well, to be honest, placement totally depends on the student's capability.
Infrastructure: Classrooms aren't that big, in fact, the university isn't this big, and also they don't provide hostels. You need to find your accommodation yourself, but the best part of the college is their library. There are tons of books in the library. Classes don't have AC, but the library does have it.
Faculty: Teachers are average. Some of them are very friendly with the students, while the rest of them don't seem to care much. Some of the teachers are very supportive. Well, there is no doubt all of them are very qualified. But the teaching style of each teacher is very different.
Other: From what I have heard, there are definitely more colleges in DU with lower fees. About the crowd, I don't like the crowd of this college, apart from the people who are involved in societies.

Review of Shyam Lal College, University of Delhi.ย 
Placements: There is a Training and Placement Cell where students submit their details and resumes and participate in interview practice sessions. The highest package secured by a student was 7 LPA through off-campus placement. The average package this year was 4 LPA. Most students get roles like sales, consultant, executive, and data entry. Companies such as Flipkart, Burger King, and other small ventures recruit here. Around 60% of students get jobs through the college or their own efforts, while the rest pursue masterโ€™s degrees or prepare for government exams.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college campus is really beautiful. It has a red building, many grounds, greenery, plants, trees, and a nursery. The library is my favorite place because it is fully air-conditioned and stocked with books on all subjects. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus, although the network can be slow in some areas. The canteen is now air-conditioned but not very efficient; the food is okay and affordable. There is no hostel facility provided by the college, but there are many PG accommodations available near the campus at affordable rates, where landlords offer three meals a day, safety, Wi-Fi, and clean water.
Faculty: Faculty members are really good and helpful. They teach even after classes and answer phone calls to clear queries. Some teachers can be aggressive, but thatโ€™s true everywhere. My course includes subtopics of Political Science and additional subjects that students choose based on their own interests. My college follows a semester exam system, with around 7โ€“8 theory exams per semester.
Other: The crowd is really good and helpful. There is a safe environment for both genders, and many extracurricular activities are available, such as NCC, NSS, societies, clubs, events, fests, and competitions. You can spend amazing years here during your graduation.

College is good because it is under the University of Delhi.
Placements: In my college, there is no hostel facility, and placements are good. The best maximum package is 12 LPA, and the minimum is 4 LPA. The top recruitment company in college is Infosys, and many others. Mainly, students do internships outside the campus, only a few students do internships in college.
Infrastructure: All classroom has a personal Wi-Fi and a good air intake. Labs are very good, all equipment and machines are in full working condition. Our college does not provide a hostel facility for students, but the canteen is neither bad nor good, it is very good in price, and decent.
Faculty: Semesters are not very difficult, the passing percentage is 5 CGPA. College makes students ready to work in the industry, but only talented students can go for placement. Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good. Everyone is of a very humble nature.
Other: Fest and events are mind-blowing, and our college also conducts NCC.
