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.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility is so fast. On the college campus, students get various facilities like a library, lab, classrooms, etc. The infrastructure is good. There are many sports like hockey, cricket, volleyball, kabaddi, etc. The college canteen is clean and hygienic.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and well-experienced. 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 is good not excellent but the area is not good and the infrastructure is improving day by day.
Placements: In my course, no company hires students from B.A. political science (hons). There are no packages offered in my course for students. All companies that come to our college hire students of B.Sc, B.Com, and economics students.
Infrastructure: Our classrooms are good. Our college has Wi-Fi but the speed is slow. The library is good. It has air conditioners. There is a proper seating arrangement and enough books are available. But our mess is below average. The food quality is not good. The price is high. In our college, there is no hostel. Medical facilities are good. There are many equipment of for sports. There is a competition between colleges.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and qualified. They have knowledge also. They do not show practical teaching. Their explanation is good. The curriculum is good. There is a new education policy in this college. We study many new skill-developing subjects which help in our future. In our college, the passing grade is D. If you get an S means you have passed. If you get an F, you are failed. The passing CGPA is 4.99.
Other: I chose this course because I want to give government exams. This course helps to understand politics and law better. I want to add some practical work to this course. In my college, events, fests, and everything happen but not at a big level. The connectivity is good but the area is not good. A lot of thieves stole students' mobiles near the road. Scholarships are given to many students who are economically weak.

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.
