I am satisfied and happy with the college.
Placements: In our course, placements are very minimal and rare. Students get many opportunities in college by joining various societies which gives them various optimistic views toward careers. The highest salary package offered is 8 LPA, and the lowest highest salary package offered ranges from 1-2 LPA, which is good.

The course they teach is well-connected with the real manner of life and ethics which gives students a different or optimistic view to see the world. Semester exams are easy but lengthy, so students have to write so much in the exam. The pass percentage is 4-5 SGPA.
Other: I chose this course because I am interested in it. This course teaches you how to be a good person and citizen of the nation and be responsible. One thing I want to include in our course is a restriction on various controversial topics as teachers are not able to speak out. Fests are organised 2 times a year. A scholarship is given to all weaker section students. All the students are friendly here. All extracurricular activities are conducted every month.

It’s an average college in Shahdra.
Placements: The placements are not very impressive at Shyam Lal College. Even though the college boasts a rich portfolio of top companies, but in reality not many companies have been coming recently. Some of the recruiters are Paytm, Unacademy, etc. The average package offered was INR 3 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is also average and just meets the requirements. There is nothing extra ordinary or fascinating about the college infrastructure. We do have our own auditorium, playground, air conditioned labs and regular classrooms. Hostel facility is not there.
Faculty: Some or the teachers are helpful while the others don't really bother much. But it is fun to study here with interesting sessions that take place. The exams are difficult for me. We have to add a subjective insight to our answers and the theory we read. I hope this helps.
