    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.

    Review of Shyam Lal College, University of Delhi.ย 
    Placements: There is a Training and Placement Cell where students submit their details and resumes and participate in interview practice sessions. The highest package secured by a student was 7 LPA through off-campus placement. The average package this year was 4 LPA. Most students get roles like sales, consultant, executive, and data entry. Companies such as Flipkart, Burger King, and other small ventures recruit here. Around 60% of students get jobs through the college or their own efforts, while the rest pursue masterโ€™s degrees or prepare for government exams.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college campus is really beautiful. It has a red building, many grounds, greenery, plants, trees, and a nursery. The library is my favorite place because it is fully air-conditioned and stocked with books on all subjects. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus, although the network can be slow in some areas. The canteen is now air-conditioned but not very efficient; the food is okay and affordable. There is no hostel facility provided by the college, but there are many PG accommodations available near the campus at affordable rates, where landlords offer three meals a day, safety, Wi-Fi, and clean water.
    Faculty: Faculty members are really good and helpful. They teach even after classes and answer phone calls to clear queries. Some teachers can be aggressive, but thatโ€™s true everywhere. My course includes subtopics of Political Science and additional subjects that students choose based on their own interests. My college follows a semester exam system, with around 7โ€“8 theory exams per semester.
    Other: The crowd is really good and helpful. There is a safe environment for both genders, and many extracurricular activities are available, such as NCC, NSS, societies, clubs, events, fests, and competitions. You can spend amazing years here during your graduation.

    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.

    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.
