We have a partition museum in our college that helps us to understand the history.
Placements: Placements of the college had a good record. There was placement percentage of above 95%. Also, placement training was often given to the students. It helped students to keep themselves updated and adapt to the kind of interviews from the placement-perspective. The average placement package was 10 LPA.
Infrastructure: There were no sports in AUD. There were also online and offline libraries in AUD which helped us a lot in our dissertation period.
Faculty: Faculty members were approachable, friendly, and ready to help all students in their respective fields about curriculum and career. Exams were conducted and made it difficult for students to involve themselves in other extra-curricular activities that might highly benefit their careers. Exams were easy to clear. The course curriculum was mostly relevant despite which some courses, especially labs were not in the current scenario.
Other: University at City Fest, Canadian Food Fest, and many workshops happen in AUD, dissertation, theatre, dance, music, design, art, writing, and many more.

We have the Partition Museum in our college. It helps us understand the history.
Placements: Placements are pretty decent compared to other colleges, and offers are nice. There is diversity in the roles offered for placements. You can also opt for other options like higher studies, and if you have skills or a hobby to make it full-time, go for it. The startup culture is nice.
Infrastructure: University@city fest, Canadian food fest, Food fest, and many workshops happen in AUD, covering dissertation, theatre, dance, music, design, art, writing, and many more. There is no sports in AUD. There is also an online and offline library in AUD, which helps us a lot during our dissertation period.
Faculty: The exam system is pretty standard. There are 2 exams: mid-sem and end-sem. The overall structure is decided by the professor, and exams are mostly subjective, although this varies by course. You need to complete certain credits during your course, and for that, you can opt for your courses. There are certain sections.

Safe spaces are provided for students, and peer support aids in navigating the job search. Opportunities for employment abroad are also available. In my department, approximately 80% of students are placed.
Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is impressive, situated in Old Delhi, offering a pleasant environment both on and off-campus. Students enjoy freedom of expression within the university. Teachers employ various teaching methods, including screening films during class. Additionally, the college features a well-stocked library and labs, with individual study rooms akin to a library setting.
Faculty: Throughout my college experience, teachers have been extremely supportive, aiding in both academic studies and personal matters. They are approachable as friends, fostering an environment of trust. Their teaching style has not only contributed to my academic growth but also to my personal development.
