I am satisfied with college infrastructure but it needs to work on academics.
Placements: Around 60% of students get their placements. Some students are hired as teachers in top government schools, while IT students are hired by companies in cybersecurity, networking, managed services, software development, and cloud backup services. Analytics students are placed in reputed companies.
Infrastructure: College infrastructure is too good library has every type of books you needed the plazas are equipped, charging station, internet access all over college journals and digitally accessible system which consist of a central library complex and many more facilities .
Faculty: Exams are semi-difficult, but it's hard to get a good percentage. They need to add some curriculum activities related to the course so that everyone can learn more about their field.

Review of Shyam Lal College, University of Delhi.
Placements: Placements are not provided by our college, but we can apply for various jobs on our own. We can also start searching for internships. If we have experience of working in an official environment then it will be helpful for jobs. Internships are very helpful to gain skills and experience.
Infrastructure: Our college has all the necessary infrastructure, facilities, and equipment. It has a separate academic building. There are two separate buildings where every department has its floor for the academic and laboratory classes. Laboratories are well-equipped. Canteen is also available. Hostel facilities are not available in our college.
Faculty: Our lectures are very good, and they provide knowledge about how to learn and how to get jobs in companies. Our course curriculum is useful and prescribed by Delhi University. Semester exams are not very difficult. If students study properly then they can easily pass with good grades. Our college offers various courses for the students like arts, commerce, and science.
Other: Our campus life is very good. Our college location is safe for students.

Manage your time well, and you'll thrive here.
Placements: Placements at Shyam Lal College are gradually improving, particularly for courses like commerce and IT. However, success depends on your course and the company you're targeting. For example, last year, Muthoot Finance was one of the most notable recruiters.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at Shyam Lal College is decent, offering basic facilities like classrooms, libraries, and labs. However, it could benefit from upgrades in space and maintenance to meet students' needs better. The hockey ground is a major highlight, being both beautiful and well-maintained.
Faculty: The college ensures proper management of examinations with no chance for cheating. The teachers are helpful not only with answers but in managing pressure and improving vocabulary. The passing percentage is around 80-85%, and the exams are quite challenging.
Other: The best aspect of Shyam Lal College is the crowd. The students are incredibly helpful and create a positive environment. If you connect with the right group, your three years here will be enjoyable and hassle-free.

Love this college, not talking about facilities but the vibe and freshness are good.
Placements: BA program isn't a very good course and does not get high placements. 4 lakhs is the average package. You can't hope for a good placement in this college. There are other better colleges than SLC in terms of placements, but I am sure you and your vision get a new perspective here. It's kind of a home for aspirants.
Infrastructure: Campus is quite attractive. They have a good environment, greenery, water management, crowd management, and a good sports ground. I guess they have the best volleyball and hockey at Delhi University. The college location is not so good, but from inside it is all different.
Faculty: The exams are conducted very systematically, and you can't say they are very hard, but they are kind of ready to challenge that if you are totally wasting your time in college, it won't be easy for you to pass out the year. The course curriculum is also not so hard because teachers are very helpful here and understanding too.
Other: Best college in terms of crowd. I love the people here. I mean, I can't describe if you get the perfect friend circle. They can do anything in friendship, and most importantly, in terms of fun and entertainment , nobody can overpass Shyam Lal College.
