Decent college, could be considered as a last resort.
Placements: The placements provided by the college are below average. People from the B.A. program do get placements, but it is rare that they will get a good one. High packages are offered by some companies, but few will rarely grasp those. So it would be safe to avoid going to this college if you don't have any other skills other than your degree, if you want a good placement.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good for a college in a place like Shahdara, but it could have been better. For playing sports, we have a volleyball court and a ground where you can play football, cricket, etc. Hostel facilities are not provided by the college, so students have to make arrangements on their own.
Faculty: The faculty is the best aspect of this college. The teachers here are helpful, highly qualified professionals, and have a lot of experience in their respective fields. The curriculum is slightly above average, and as far as the exams are concerned, they are really easy, with a minimum passing percentage of 40%.
Other: College fests, events, and societies are all in a developing phase here, but they are showing some great results.

Not much satisfied with college faculty and fees.
Placements: My course is B.A. program, and our college provides some placements, but these placements aren't that high. Companies like Deloitte and KPMG select students for placements based on their skills. The highest package is around 5 LPA, and the average package is around 2 LPA-3 LPA.
Infrastructure: Our college has a good infrastructure. There are well-maintained classrooms, a library, and different labs like the computer lab, Chemistry lab, bio lab, etc. Our college has a big and well-maintained sports ground. There is also a Wi-Fi facility available but the canteen isn't that good and its food is of poor quality.
Faculty: Teachers are good and supportive like some teachers treat students like their own, but some teachers don't respond in a good manner. Our principal is one of the best principals any college could have. The process of college exams is easy and simple. Teachers and faculty also help students with it.
Other: Students have many facilities to enjoy and explore college life in our college. The crowd is also good. There are many seniors who treat juniors like their own brothers. There are great fests to enjoy and college functions to explore.

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.

College is overall value for money. Students can expect a good future by studying in our college.
Placements: My name is Yash and I am a student of B.A. program Shyam Lal morning. Placement rate of our batch lies between 30 to 45%. The highest average package offered in my courses is 7 LPA, and the lowest package is around 2 LPA. Major companies that have provided placements are ICICI Bank and HDB Finance. College also provides a really good internship program and a placement cell.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college is very good. There are labs, Wi-Fi facility, library with air conditioning, PCs with really good specifications for office work, classrooms are fine, ventilated, as well as the canteen is also air conditioned. Sports department also has adequate good facilities.
Faculty: Faculty members overall are cooperative although sometimes there are some delays in work but overall the faculty is satisfactory. College follows the curriculum of Delhi University based on new education policy and provides various additional subjects in which students can pursue an additional diploma degree. Exams are really not that hard. Passing rate is around 75%.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to pursue a career in TGT history. Moreover, the faculty of our course is very cooperative, and all the teaching staff is very well educated and hold Ph.D. degrees.
