Offered by Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi

4Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I'm yet to explore the college more to give it a short headline that summarizes it.

Placements: As a second-semester student, I am not well-versed with the current year's placement percentage, but a good pool of companies come in order to give jobs and internships. Just a few months back, a career fair also took place where students could interview for the same.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure can improve a lot. My department has a strength of 72, and no sections are divided. The chairs and tables fall short in the class. No air conditioning in classes and the library. The library is peaceful but way too hot during the summer. Wi-Fi is provided and works well on the ground and first floors of the building.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are qualified and teach well. The curriculum is up to date, but I think it lacks the content that is needed in the real-life job environment. The exams are not that hard, but time management is a component that matters during the examination.

Other: I chose the course because I wanted a degree related to my field. The college can induce some hands-on and practical activities that make us ready for the job environment. Events do take place every other day, something is happening in the college. Connectivity is also good, the college is on the main road. For extracurricular activities, we have societies that keep on organizing some or the other event.

Good infrastructure and placements. Great campus and college life.

Placements: Placement track record is good till now, with all Big 4 & Big 8 companies coming in for Tax, Audit roles. The average package is 5.50 LPA, with the lowest being 3 LPA. Roles vary from Tax, Audit, BDE, Content Writing, Forensic & HR. Internships are offered throughout the year in a similar domain, starting from Rs. 5,000 per month to Rs. 20,000 per month

Infrastructure: Great campus with spacious classes, library, football, basketball, volleyball field, and cricket pitch. Wi-Fi access is available on campus, but the network may be spotty in some areas. Hostel facility not available. Mother Dairy, Nescafé & canteen are available at well-priced rates.

Faculty: The same teachers teach multiple subjects across batches. The curriculum is well-designed for practical usage. Exams are fairly easy, with most subjects including practical courses and papers being prepared following PYQ patterns, and often, similar questions are asked. The course is industry-relevant.

Other: The SEC, VaC, AEC, and GE pool is limited.

Not bad infrastructure, but they can use more out of it. Bad faculty. Average college.

Placements: Only a handful of students got placed. The package is pretty low, too. I don't know about exact numbers as such. But some big companies do come. But not so much as they do come in other colleges. The percentage of students getting internships is pretty low.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this college is poor, but Wi-Fi is a huge issue. There is no Wi-Fi in classrooms, it's only in the library and corridors. The food is below average, I would say, and sports is an issue too, with very few courts compared to the space occupied by the college.

Faculty: Teachers are not sufficiently qualified, I would say, they don't know their own subject very well, I can't ask doubts because they won't be able to answer them. The semester exams are a bit hard but okayish, and the passing percentage is 40 percent. The college is average.

Short review of Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College, University of Delhi.

Placements: Around 60 percent of students got placed, the rest of them either opt for higher studies or are not able to get placed. The highest package varies around 12 LPA-15 LPA, while the average goes around 5 LPA-9 LPA. Roles offered are data analyst and technician. Internships are not very hard to come by, especially if you have a good network, and the alumni network of our college helps out wonderfully, along with internship drives.

Infrastructure: Facilities are overall alright. Wi-Fi is available, the classrooms are okay, and the library is good. I don't have much idea about the hostel, but students generally prefer PG. The quality of food is above average, and hygiene is maintained in the canteen. The infrastructure needs improvement, and an auditorium is missing.

Faculty: The curriculum is not relevant in today's age, it needs a lot of updates and reforms. It does not entirely make students industry-ready, but with some personal effort, it can be a very good boost. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty, and students can easily clear them with 2 weeks of preparation.

Other: Events and fests take place all year round. Connectivity is super. The campus surroundings are excellent, t and there are opportunities for scholarships and extracurricular activities.

Good commerce faculty, connectivity to the metro is great. Fest and events are great.

Placements: Top recruiting companies for my course have been KPMG, Deloitte, EY, and BideoRise. The highest number of students from B.Com (Hons) and B.Com prog. Courses have been placed through the placement cell. More than 150 companies in total come for placements and internships in the college, giving opportunities to everyone to apply and secure an internship.

Infrastructure: There's no hostel in the college as of now, but for my course, there's a whole separate block for the commerce department, and most of the teaching faculty is amazing. Wi-Fi is available throughout the college, and a well-equipped library is there with air conditioning, furniture, and most of the latest editions of books are available too. Classrooms are well-made with windows and furniture, and there are computer labs too for practical subjects like Tally or Excel. Just an auditorium is missing, which is under construction, so I hope it gets constructed soon.

Faculty: The teaching faculty specifically for the commerce department has been really qualified and knowledgeable, with the teachers helping us with our doubts. The course is mostly curriculum-relevant, but I wouldn't say that it makes the students industry-ready. Semester exams are fairly conducted to test the knowledge of the subjects, and though I'm not aware of the exact percentage, a high pass percentage is definitely there.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in the commerce field, and from my school seniors who studied here, they gave a good review of this course at ARSD. I think the course could be improved by introducing more practical ways to approach commerce in real life. The fests, events, campus crowd, connectivity, and extracurricular activities are actually really good. It's a super fun experience as of now.

Moderate college having good library and faculty members.

Placements: My course is history, and there are very few placements for my course because it is a non-professional course, but I heard that the B.Com course placement is good in college, and there is a college placement cell in the college. The college placement cell provides better placement for the students. Also, many companies visited the college.

Infrastructure: The library is so good. There is a limited lab, but it is sufficient for a lab-based course. In the library, there is a Wi-Fi service. The canteen is good, and hygiene is also good, not that much, but good. Sport facilities are good. Classrooms are not good in the context of a modernized class.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, but a few are not very helpful. My course is helpful for my future career as I want to prepare for government services. If I talk about the difficulty level of the exam, it is moderate, sometimes hard.

Other: I chose this course because of my career, and I also have a keen interest in history. The best thing about my course is that it sharpens my thinking and mindset. Scholarship is provided, but not to every student.
