This is good, but not the best.
Placements: The placements of this college are very low and its highest package is 4 Lacs per year, and the average is 2 Lacs. This is very low, and the recruitment for my course is okay, but not very good. The internship in it is also very short; this course overall is good.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college is good, but the classes are not very big. There are small classes, and the course is good, but the department is not very good. There are not many people in it, and there is Wi-Fi, but it is not fast; it is slow. The lab is good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified, but there is not much. Knowledge is there, and the course curriculum is relevant. The students' industry is good, and the semester is not very hard; it is easy. If you study, then go ahead. The pass percentage of this course is good.
Other: I chose this course because I am good at management analysis and fast-paced campus events. The campus crowd and scholarship are good, but the rest is better in college.

I'm satisfied because of faculty behavior, infrastructure of college, and good placements.
Placements: About 70%-80% of students got placement from economics honors. The highest package is about 20 LPA and the lowest is 3 LPA-4 LPA. The average package is around 5 LPA-6 LPA. Many companies offer internships from our course like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc. Investment banking is top role offered in this course.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are well-equipped with whiteboards and benches. All labs have air-conditioners. Wi-Fi is available all over the college and speed is also great. The quality of food in canteen is good. Our college has a huge library with all facilities.
Faculty: Teachers at our college are very helpful, well-qualified, and have great knowledge about their courses. Our course curriculum is not relevant as it does not make students ready to work directly. The difficulty level is moderate to pass this course.
Other: I chose this course because I'm excited to study economics.

Academic feedback on Shyamlal College.
Placements: Since the college is off-campus therefore companies that come to the college are very less. Companies that come to the college recruit students for the role of marketing, sales, call centres, and content writing. The highest salary package offered by Byju's is 8 LPA. The average salary package offered is around 4 LPA - 5 LPA. The only thing that matters is that it's Delhi University and the importance of the degree.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Shyam Lal College is average. But now, it has done a lot of improvement. The mess food is good and very economical. Medical facilities and games are also quite decent. Enrollment in the college is based on the CUET UG entrance exam.
Faculty: When I was a student, I found the course mediocre level. Statistics and econometrics were such subjects that I found new but my faculty was pretty good. She provided the notes and gave the assignments to make us familiar with the subject. The course curriculum is pretty decent, and I really enjoyed the course. Semester exams were difficult. If students are preparing at the end of the exams, they'll suffer a lot, especially in subjects like mathematical methods of economics, statistics, econometrics and intermediate microeconomics. So prepare well before exams. Some faculty members are good. Some are not up to the mark. But the curriculum of the course is pretty good that the university offers. It is really helpful if one pursues a master's in economics.
Other: There are various societies in our college that organise events, competitions and fests for all courses. I was a part of the economics society and we organized the inter-college debate competitions which was fun. We had the annual economics fest where students from different colleges visited our college and joined in our events. Campus life is fun.

Totally satisfied because of the best faculty, good infrastructure, and average placement in 2024.
Placements: Talking about placement, yes, we have a placement cell. It's typically like other off-campus colleges, but if you develop skills during your graduation, you can really crack it. The median package is approximately 4.85 LPA, and the highest is about 7.5 LPA. In Economics Honours, you are offered jobs like data analyst, financial risk analyst, investment analyst, financial consultant, etc.
Infrastructure: This college doesn't have any hostel, but most private hostels are available just behind the college within walking distance. It has a very clean and well-managed lab, and the classes are quite clean and decent. In my opinion, the canteen is overpriced, and you will get an average taste there. Talking about sports, this college is mainly famous for hockey, but it also has other indoor and outdoor games like volleyball, football, chess, etc. Now, the library is the best, fully air-conditioned, with every book you can imagine and a peaceful environment.
Faculty: The faculty at this college is the best, especially for Economics Honours. They are very knowledgeable and experienced, cooperative, and help you in every possible manner. We have an Economics departmental society that teaches us leadership and organizes many departmental events. Semester exams are moderate and become easier after being taught by such knowledgeable teachers. If anyone focuses on lectures and solves previous year questions, they can easily get a decent CGPA.
Other: I had an interest in economics and maths, which is why I chose this course, and everyone knows that Economics Honours offered by Delhi University is the best. Many students fill this college in their upper preferences because they think it is a North Campus college, but it is actually an off-campus college. Talking about events and fests, they are similar to other off-campus colleges (I would say average). The nearest metro station is Welcome (approximately 700 meters), and there isn't that much crowd in the area, just Shyamlal College students going up and down on the footpath, but everything else is the best.

It is a great college with good faculty members and facilities.
Placements: The placement cell is fine but not up to the mark. It is working for the greater good. The progress has already been seen compared with previous years. It will get improved more so that students can get the best opportunities and make great careers.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college has improved a lot. This year, the college has renovated all the things it needed. They painted the walls. There are gardens. The desks and chairs are new. It now appears to be a decent college. The new infrastructure has changed its appearance. 
Faculty: Faculty members are great. They are not regular. Teachers have excellent knowledge and skills.
Other: Extracurricular activities are not conducted. They will conduct extracurricular activities in the future as they are improving.

Yes, it is necessary to have mathematics as main paper in 10+2 to get admission in Economics or B.Com hons. So, if you do not have mathematics as main paper even after scoring better (95%) in board examination, you are not eligible to get admission in course. For more information about admission pro
