DRC is probably the second-best girls' college of DU.

Infrastructure: The newly built building is perfect from AC classrooms to smart boards, we have them all. Our canteen too is amazing as it's an all-girls college and our canteen serves a variety of pastries. The only issue is with the auditorium as it needs serious development.

The best commerce college.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is mid, classrooms are decent, library is excellent. Infrastructure is 5/10, but is good for studies. There is no hostel. Canteen is working, but the food is not that good. Facilities for sports are not as needed, they need to be changed ASAP and work should be done soon.

The faculty members are good, but the infrastructure isn’t.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not that good. The Wi-Fi sometimes doesn’t work, and the facilities are limited. There is a canteen too, but since I don’t visit it much, I’m not aware of the food they provide. We also have a medical room that is better and good.

Need to heavily work on infrastructure and placements.

Infrastructure: We don’t have a hostel for our college, so we have to take PGs nearby. The PGs are very bad, lack hygiene, and the food quality is very poor. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work all around the college. The infrastructure and facilities are very poor, and our college really needs to work on them.

Decent college, could be considered as a last resort.

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.

College is fine, as it is only for girls, so it is better.

Infrastructure: There are plenty of facilities here, and there is Wi-Fi in the college. There is also a library in which all books, etc., are available. There is a canteen near the library where you don't get much good food. You get samosas and some other snacks. The college does not have its own hostel. According to me, everyone lives in private PGs.

Average infrastructure, and faculty, and not great ROI.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are decent, Wi-Fi works but can be slow, and the library is very good with lots of study space. Hostel facilities are okay, mess food is average, and the canteen is better. Basic medical help and sports facilities are available. Hostel rooms are okay and manageable, mess food is average (some days better than others), and the canteen is more popular than the mess.

Absolutely good. To be honest, I consider this college as the best decision of my life.

Infrastructure: All the facilities and infrastructure are upgraded and provide the best output to each and every student, be it Wi-Fi for classes, labs for experiments, or classrooms to study. Food is moderate, to be honest, because it is prepared in large bulk, but it’s more than sufficient for the need. Medical facilities are also average, there are huge numbers of people in college, so facilities are there, but it’s not up to the mark. Sports and games are very good.

Average college with an average crowd.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite average, the college does have basic facilities, but lacks research infrastructure. The classrooms are average too, they lack ACs. The library is okayish with a limited selection of books. The college is not for students wanting to build a career in sports.

College life through my lens.

Infrastructure: Computer labs and good classrooms are available for commerce classes, but the cons are that some equipment is outdated and doesn't work properly. There is no hostel facility in DSC. Canteen food is really good and affordable for the students. Sports like football, cricket, basketball, and badminton are also available.
