There is no entrance exam at all. A cut-off procedure is generally followed by the colleges under Punjab University. And cut-off depends upon the percentage and the quota. With defense quota, I got DAV College but want GGDSD college.

The admission process is not so complicated you should just get the percentage which were required to get admitted or meet the cut-off which was given by the college No entrance exam is required to get admitted to college eligibility of course depends on what cut-off is going on application form is given on dav college chandigarh website. I got very much benefits by using the SC certificate For e.g. you got 56 or 57 percent and cut off is going on 60 then there will be chances that you could get admission this is an advantage of using a reserved category and you will get admitted even when you have 3 4 percent less.

I would advise you to attend SD College. Both colleges are excellent; however, there are a few factors that give SD the upper hand over DAV.

  • Safety and peace: DAV College has seen numerous fights and hassle among students and the crowd is not safe. On the other hand, SD College has a passionate and good crowd.
  • Faculty: Both colleges have excellent faculty, although SD college is a little more serious about studies than the faculty at DAV.
  • Environment: DAV attracts a raucous audience, but SD attracts a more good audience, and hence SD’s setting and ambience are considerably superior.

Aside from these fundamentals, they’re both just college. Enroll in any of them; after the first semester, you’ll be skipping classes anyhow.

What is your review of DAV College Chandigarh?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 21 Apr 22

Akhil Mishra

21 Apr 22B.Sc medical from DAV College, Chandigarh (2021)

DAV College Chandigarh has a huge campus. It includes a playground and 3-4 little gardens. The college is situated at the center of the city and everything is nearby. You can get all the basic amenities on campus as well. There are two canteens, two Nescafes, a juice center, a stationery shop, a print shop, a salon, and laundry.  

The faculties are well-experienced. Some of the faculty members are quite friendly and cooperative. The college has a three-story library. It has a good collection of books. 

DAV College has many clubs and societies like Literary society, Economic Society, NSS, etc. The college organizes events like Karvaan, and Star nights annually.  

Election times are the worst. There are many fights and unnecessary chaos on campus. The college isn’t strict regarding its attendance rule and you can get away with not attending classes. Faculties sometimes don’t attend the classes and as a result, the students suffer. These are some of the disadvantages that you may have to face on campus.

Among DAVC and SD College, the latter is far better. The following are the reasons.

  • There is no attendance policy in DAVC. Students have a choice to be absent from lectures. It gives too much liberty that gets misused.
  • In DAVC, there is no proper study environment, and students fail to enjoy college life.
  • At SD College, you will be able to enjoy politics, studies, festivals, campus, study, and college life.
  • SD College offers a good B.Com program.
  • The facilities offered at SD College exceed DAVC. It comprises hostel, library, classrooms, auditorium, communicative English lab, research lab, cafeteria, bank, health center, ERP Portal, and more.

Overall, SD College is better for admission between the given choices.

It is dependent on the course you wish to enroll in. Some courses are quite popular at Chandigarh University, whereas others are popular at DAV College.

If you are looking for better infrastructure and placements, Chandigarh University should be preferred over DAV. It has been awarded an A+ grade by NAAC and is the only state-private university to be accredited by NAAC.

The curriculum followed at CU is industry-oriented and based on market standards. The level of exposure you will receive here is exceptional with numerous opportunities. Apart from this, Chandigarh University has tie-ups with international institutions.

The university has recorded excellent placement records with participating companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, IBM, Walt Disney, Oracle, and many more.

Yes, you can migrate from DAV College Chandigarh to PU main campus in your 2nd year of BA 

You just need to know about the requirements for doing so. These could include: marks required or seats vacancy, etc.

The students involved in the youth elections will be able to guide you. Try getting a hold of a person who is a party member. He may be able to get you in, by admission or by referral.

Also note that there could be a slight chance that in PU, the reference required has to be powerful or influential.

Panjab University’s main campus only offers B.Sc(Hons). Admission is through PU-CET. The UG seats are also limited. For admission, you can fill the form online, by visiting the admission portal of the university. 

DAV College is affiliated with Panjab University. Both B.Sc (Hons) and general (PCM) are available. Admission is based on merit as for which will be better, choose the institute based on your preference.

How is DAV College Chandigarh for a BCA?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 22 Oct 21
KS

Kanika Sharma

22 Oct 21Studied Biotechnology at DAV College, Chandigarh (2018)

It all depends on what your goals are. If you want to acquire a degree, then choosing DAV College is fine. The college does not care about attendance and you can easily complete the program even if you miss classes for a month. However, a heavy fine will be charged for the same.

If you want to learn new things and looking for great opportunities in BCA, then look for some other option. The faculty is good but they are not experienced in the area properly and this can be a setback. 

Go for BCA only if you are interested in programming and computer applications, otherwise, you will regret this decision.

Aniket Roy

It depends whether you have done your 10+2 from Chandigarh or outside of UT. If you have done your 10+2 from UT, then you can get admission quite easily with 84%. But if you completed your 10+2 from outside then it will be a little tough to get selected. Since the cutoff is a little high.

You can definitely apply, whether you will get admission or not, it depends on the availability of seats. Many times, students leave their seats for better colleges. This way seats are vacated and made available for students who didn’t get admission during counseling. 

The number of seats for the BA program at DAV College has been reduced a few years back. The required cutoff may be higher. I will suggest that you fill the form and wait for the cutoff list.

How is DAV College Chandigarh for doing a B.A.?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 13 Oct 21
SR

Sreetoma Rana

13 Oct 21B.Sc from DAV College, Chandigarh (2019)

One of my friends is an alumnus of Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College (DAVC), who studied B.Sc. Here is his experience in brief. 

  • The teaching approach of the faculty members is impressive.
  • The admission in the B.A. program, based on merit and seat availability.
  • The infrastructure of the college is also decent. 
  • As a BA student, you will have the opportunities to prove yourself in academics and co-curricular activities. 
  • The competitions, parties, etc. will make you more comfortable speaking in public. 
  • The library is great and so is the overall environment on campus. 
  • Doing BA from DAV college can be a great option if you are interested in the Civil Service examination. 

DAVC is an ordinary college, but it is an excellent institute for pursuing an undergraduate degree.
