DCAC 2025 review from BCom hons student

Infrastructure: WiF is available across the campus. The classrooms are functional and have projectors. There are well-equipped computer labs and specialized media labs. The library is fully air-conditioned with a variety of books in its collection. It does not have an on-campus hostel. The canteen serves affordable daily meals.

DDUC has the most active placements cell!

Infrastructure: One of the very few colleges that provides hostels for both boys and girls. Fees are around a lakh, and it includes food as well. 9 PM is the strict deadline for hostels. Only college in DU that has a three-floor air-conditioned library and every single classroom of DDUC is air-conditioned too. An active Wi-Fi throughout the campus and two canteens as well.

Absolutely give satisfaction with some cases but if we manage them then this is best.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was very decent. It feels like a government school. Also, the campus was small. Our library was pretty good, but not better than other DU colleges like SBSC, ARDS, etc. Classrooms are not well maintained not good condition of classes. Canteen food is also decent, not that good, just normal. We only eat because we don't have any other choice, but if we get other choices, I think many students will choose other choices.

The prices are a little high and should be reduced. Wi-Fi is available in almost all corners of campus. The facilities for sports and games are exceptionally great; courts and fields are properly maintained. The college also has a medical facility which is very efficient. The campus is very green.

Best societies and diverse crowd

Infrastructure: The campus area is 13 acres. It has 3 blocks for different streams. The classrooms and washrooms in the old building are not so good, but the New Academic Block has good infrastructure and clean washrooms. It also has a library and playground. We have one normal canteen and a Nescafe canteen, which offer decent food. Personally, I recommend Friend Price and Iced Tea. The college has an on-campus medical room. Although on-campus hostel is not available.

Tempest - our fest, is the most happening fest of DU!

Infrastructure: Miranda House is the first choice of female students outside Delhi because it has a hostel. The seats are just 200, and there's a merit list for that too. Talking about college infrastructure, the British architecture is so evident in our college and the newly constructed Digital Source Centre complements that exceptionally well.

It holds the NIRF Rank 7 for a reason.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. There is a big playground with a basketball court, volleyball court, football ground, and cricket ground, along with an indoor ground for table tennis and badminton. But the best place in the college is for sure the library. It is fully AC and has Wi-Fi. However, you get Wi-Fi throughout the college. There is a canteen with both indoor and outdoor seating arrangements, with Nescafe and Mother Dairy too.

My first-year experience.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent but definitely not the strongest part of KMC. Classrooms are mostly functional. The library is one of the better facilities. It is especially good for students who want a quiet place to study. There are computer labs, sports facilities, a gym, medical facilities, and multiple canteens. The campus is old in some places. There is definitely scope for better maintenance, Wi-Fi, and classroom facilities. It is comfortable enough for regular college life.
