It has good teachers, average infrastructure, rude administration, and poor connectivity.

Infrastructure: There are two buildings currently operating in our college, namely the old campus and the new campus. The old campus is poorly maintained. There are no proper water facilities and very hot classrooms in summer. The library is somewhat okay, but no Wi-Fi is available on campus. There is a canteen with poor hygiene. Lab equipment is outdated. The new campus is well-maintained, and it is primarily used for all events, activities, and everything. Canteen, water facilities, and washrooms are hygienic...

It is not an excellent college, but it is the best in many ways, like education and infrastructure.

Infrastructure: In my college, the infrastructure is good, and the facilities are average. Hansraj College is in the top 5 DU colleges. The hostels have good infrastructure, and there are great library facilities. There are NCC and NSS society rooms, a huge library with all available books, and different departments like my Chemistry department. There are also sports facilities and a huge ground.

Infrastructure: Our library is good with a peaceful environment. I spent most of my time there. Book issuing is convenient, and we just need the college ID. Classrooms are pretty decent. It has a podium, which is spacious for teachers to communicate and teach. Our college didn't offer hostel facilities. The canteen food is average.

It provides a good sense of learning and great exposure in the real field.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is in adequate condition, which is what a student can think of. Labs and stuff are pretty good, as the availability of equipment is not a concern for students, as it is present in a surplus amount in the storage facilities. Hostel facilities are not provided by our college. Facilities provided by the college management are good.

SBSC is one of the best colleges of the South campus, University of Delhi, especially for commerce.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good, and it's a little bit congested as two colleges operate on the campus morning and evening. The library is great, it has 3 floors and plenty of books on multiple subject matters. There is no hostel available in Shaheed Bhagat Singh College.

It has better faculty than most colleges. It has good placements and a learning experience.

Infrastructure: Facilities are not that good. However, they are decent, and the basic amenities are available. Wi-Fi is only available in labs. Classrooms are okay, but need serious renovation as they are quite old. The department library is well-equipped with books from every geographical discipline we would need or would be helpful for us, which is a great asset to the department.

Absolutely a good college in the South Campus.

Infrastructure: The hostel is pretty decent, but only available for those who are from another state or country. No such restrictions and the food is nice. Also, it's very close to college so no issues with computing. College infrastructure is good. There are 2 buildings old and new. The new one is far better than the old one.

Good college with nice infrastructure, but placements could be better.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is really good. Classrooms are air-conditioned and well-maintained. The library is also very good with many books. Labs and computer facilities are also proper. Wi-Fi is available but sometimes it doesn't work properly. Canteen food is okay, not very tasty but manageable.
