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.

Review of Shyam Lal College (Delhi university).
Placements: I am the core member of the placement cell of Shyam Lal College, and our cell tries to reach out to HR of all the big companies to invite them for campus drives. Although the recruitment ratio is lower as candidates aren't satisfied with the job opportunities they get as it's not a well-reputed college on the North campus.
Infrastructure: The college comprises two buildings, with 2 playgrounds, a nursery, a library, science labs, 3 computer labs, and at least 2 staircases with washrooms on every floor. The college is well maintained by authorities, and the cleanliness of the college has helped it gain NAAC A+ rating as well. But it doesn't provide students with lift and air conditioning facilities in regular classrooms. And also, projectors placed in classrooms are not working many times.
Faculty: All the faculty members are Ph.D. holders and doing research work as well along with their teaching careers. As well as the office staff, they aren't very cooperative, as they are very strict with the office timings and sometimes often work as SBI bank staff members.
Other: Overall, the college is very average.

Review of Shyam Lal College.
Placements: I am part of the BA programme (History+maths). When it comes to placements, around 50% of students from our course got placed. The highest package is 8 LPA, the lowest package is 1 LPA, average package is 4 LPA. Some of the top recruiters that visited our campus for our course included Bajaj, hdfc bank service, etc. For internships, nearly 70% of students got opportunities,
Infrastructure: Shyam Lal College, Delhi, provides modern infrastructure including a Wi-Fi-enabled campus, well-equipped labs (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer), a digital library with vast resources, two innovation plazas for creative learning, an auditorium, and sports facilities like hockey, volleyball, and badminton courts.

(Hons. ), B.Sc. , and B.A. Programme, along with various certificates and add-on courses in different disciplines.

They are not the best, but you can go for it.
Placements: Roles offered are research, and many students get internships if they are interested. However, there are very less societies, so someone who is interested in these types of activities might not get into a society.
Infrastructure: Everything is nice, but the administration can be improved, and the canteen as well. During summers, AC in classrooms would really help. Wi-Fi facility isn't available, and the library needs more books. There are no medical facilities. There are sports, but it's available for very limited people, and selections are only done based on references.
Faculty: Teachers are nice, and the course helps a lot to find yourself. Exams are based on how much you have prepared. They give degrees but do not prepare students for the industry. I feel that teachers are only there for the salary. Assignments given to us are a waste, they don't even go through them.
Other: The crowd is very mixed. They offer various options for extracurricular activities and sports, as well as studies in my course.
