Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com. Hons) - Batch of 2027

Offered by Bharati College, University of Delhi

1Placements3Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Transparent sneak peek at Bharati College.

Placements: Poor placement cell. Very few students get placement. The highest package was 8 LPA. The companies that come are mostly startups and small companies, MSMEs. Internship opportunities are not good, as they include only forwarding messages to many groups. You get a percentage of profit if people join through your link that was forwarded.

Infrastructure: There are 3 buildings, containing 6 labs, a gym, a cafe, a canteen, a library, classrooms, tut rooms, a seminar hall, a theatre room, an auditorium, etc. Ground and equipment available for many sports, has Wi-Fi, AC and medical facilities are good. Though the amount and quality of books provided could be improved.

Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. There are not enough faculty members. The course curriculum is relevant. Teachers give real-life examples to relate them to practicality. Semester exams are hard, but not that hard. To pass a year, you must have 28 credits out of a total of 44 credits.

Other: The events are nice, there are many fest evenly distributed throughout the year. Scholarships are also provided, and there are many extracurricular activities to follow.

Overall average college. Just near my residence, so I went for this only.

Placements: I'm just a fresher so I don't know much about placements of the college. As far as I reached, the seniors said it's sometimes given. Don't know anything about packages, as any package is given. I didn't enroll in the placement society, so I'm not in that part.

Infrastructure: So, talking about facilities and infrastructure, the staff are a bit rude, as they do not guide us properly. The infrastructure is average. The greenery is good, and the campus is very big. The canteen is also affordable but a bit unhygienic. They don't provide sports and games opportunities.

Faculty: Teachers are not that helpful. They sometimes get sold, but we students also sometimes feel that they are being taken for granted by us. Not given exams yet, so can't say anything. Attendance percentage is compulsory. There is a separate one for internal assessment and a separate one for university exams.

Other: I chose this course because I was from a commerce background. This college does not conduct any events like Dandiya night or anything.

Kirori Mal College is something you shouldn't miss out.

Placements: Around 90% of the students fetch the best placements on the campus. The placement cell is also very active and keen on internships and placement offers. They also provide assistance and guidance and ensure that the best offers reach the students. Companies like Deloitte, Google, Wipro, Infosys, and many more visit our college.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is vast enough to explore, and the hostel building is surely one of the significant buildings. The classes are equipped with modern technologies like projectors, fast internet Wi-Fi, and smartboards with a great ambiance. The hostel message, the college canteen, the hostel canteen, and the Kirorian cafe attract a major crowd of college students.

Faculty: Faculty members here are very knowledgeable in these subjects and could guide one with their vast and yearlong experience of teaching and learning throughout. The curriculum not only gives you knowledge about the core discipline of mathematics but also real-life skills such as reasoning ability, analytical skills, and much more.

An engaging and supportive college environment.

Placements: The placements in our college are 42 students. Placements are held by the ARISE placement cell. Based on the NIRF 2025 report, median packages are around 3.5 LPA. The placement rate was 45% from last year. The college also aims to provide placement to the students in companies like EY, Flipkart, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure was good, with libraries and labs, and clean classrooms. Wi-fi is also provided by the college. The digital resources added value to the learning experience. College canteens are also a clean and healthy environment. Hostel facilities are not provided by our colleges.

Faculty: The course curriculum is fairly structured. They balanced practical or theoretical knowledge. They conduct exams and tests from time to time; exam difficulties are moderate to difficult. The marking scheme is transparent. Some subjects have an evaluation criterion.

Other: I am enrolled in the course Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Mathematics. This course provides practical or theoretical knowledge. All things are good, but a few more things are needed to improve. Many events are organized by our college, like: annual function as"Pallavi", trash to treasure hackathon, quiz competition, TEDx. Sports like kabaddi, basketball, etc.

Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi review.

Placements: Have heard that the placement cell provides good placements and internships but I have not experienced this as a first-year student. Some seniors say that there are good placements, but some do not agree. That is why I am rating it as average.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not good these days as construction is going on in the college. Some rooms have good infrastructure, like AC rooms that work properly, but there are still some rooms where the infrastructure is not nice.

Faculty: I personally really like the faculty members. They are very educated, and the way of teaching is really nice and understandable. That is why the faculty and the curriculum are really nice. Exams have not been conducted yet, but they are scheduled since November for the 1st semester. Classes are being conducted on a regular basis, which is really helpful.

Other: There are many societies which are really active, which is a good part. About the fests, there is no space as the auditorium is under construction. So, as a first-year student, I don’t know where the fests will happen or if they will happen at all.

Faculty: Faculty members of our Science department are very helpful and kind towards the students. They teach every topic in a language relevant to students and repeat topics for students who have basic doubts in complex topics. Students have no difficulty in semester class tests or exams, which come first as class tests and then as semester exams.

Other: I have a keen interest in Maths and its applications, that’s why I have chosen Maths Hons. I wish to improve the other courses like SEC, VAC, and AEC. That’s all I know till now about my top college preference list.
