Amazing experience in the top college of Delhi.
Placements: The placement in my college has not been so great, being a science student. I have not heard much recruitment for various companies for my courses, so I would say this college does. To provide many placements in the stream of Science as an undergraduate student.
Infrastructure: Overall, the infrastructure is called our physics. Lab and chemistry labs are kind of good. It has all the equipment, and the classroom is okay. There have been some issues with the setting arrangement, but everything is fine for now.
Faculty: The difficulty of Science is very strict and rigid. They do not know. They do not delay. Any deadline and the assignments and the part of the project files are also very large, so it is kind of hard to tolerate them, and I will suggest that this can be improved.
Other: The crowd is really high. There is nothing that we can say bad about the crowd. All the politics. Selection and fest are good. Still, I am a first-year student. I have enjoyed this time till now.

College life is quite fun if you make good friends and try to work upon yourself by yourself.
Placements: There were 20 to 25 students who were offered placements in the first place out of around 120 students of the batch who really worked fairly hard in all their years in the college. 16.5 LPA was the highest package offered, and the lowest went up to 3 to 4 LPA. Companies like Deloitte, Infosys, and mostly service-based companies offered the packages. There were people who were offered roles irrespective of their core subject. Very few people managed to grab internships within the campus. Top roles were mostly for auditors, sales, etc.
Infrastructure: The facilities like infrastructure, library, and classes were average and not up to the mark. There was Wi-Fi in the library and at some other places. The hostel accommodation was limited and only for girls who were outside of Delhi. Sports facilities were very average.
Faculty: Twenty percent of teachers were very qualified and well articulate in their expression of teaching, but most of the faculty was not. The course curriculum is outdated and not fully industry-ready. Semester exams are not tough and are easily manageable in a very small amount of time.

Delhi College of Arts and Commerce review.
Placements: The college does offer campus placements with top recruiters, often including companies such as KPMG, EY, Wipro, Airtel, etc. But, these companies usually hire students from commerce-based courses such as B.Com (Hons), etc. B.A. course students generally do not get any campus placement (apart from B.A. Economics Hons), and they often go for higher education.
Infrastructure: The college's infrastructure is not very good. Though it is a Wi-Fi-enabled campus, the classrooms are very up to the mark. Also, there are labs in the college, but not with the latest technology. The college does not have a hostel. The college canteen is very small, and the food is quite mediocre as well.
Faculty: The faculty of my course is very helpful and knowledgeable. Be it the faculty of Economics or Human Resource Management, the teachers are very helpful. Though some students find some of the subjects not worth studying, the overall course curriculum is quite structured and well-maintained.
Other: I chose my course because of my keen interest in economics and HRM. The best thing about my course is definitely the faculty teaching it. The college does not really organize big events, but academically, the college is very good.

Review of Lakshmibai College, University of Delhi. 
Placements: College provides a placement program, but I do not have any knowledge regarding how much and what roles are offered to students, as a very small number of students get the opportunity to get a placement. Companies visiting the college are very well-renowned.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty average. Canteen food tastes bad. Other facilities, like classrooms and the library, are okay compared to other colleges. The Vikramshila building is new, so it is better than the other old buildings. Medical facilities are not good. It does not have the basic medicines for immediate treatment.
Faculty: Faculty members are average. Some teachers are knowledgeable and helpful. Some teachers behave rudely and mostly avoid answering students regarding anything. The course curriculum is also based on a very old curriculum, which makes it more theoretical and less practical and fact-based. Semester exams are not so hard to crack, and somehow most of the students pass exams.
Other: I chose this course for its purpose and field of study, mostly because of the combination of political science and philosophy, which will add great value to my knowledge. It could be more useful if it becomes more relevant and practical than theoretical.
