The BA program offered by the Delhi College of Arts and Commerce is good. The infrastructure of the department is decent. You will not face any trouble adjusting. The campus is peaceful and ideal for studies. 

The faculties are great. Other than lectures they will give you information regarding useful seminars and workshops. 

The rest depends entirely on you. Attendance is not mandatory, so many students choose to bunk classes. But if you want to learn there are great facilities. The library has a huge collection of books.

Overall, DCAC is a quintessential and fairly standard college. However, if you are a new student looking for admission, this is a good college to consider. If you only have one option, go with DCAC.

The faculty members determine whether or not a department is worthwhile. Faculty members are highly qualified and experienced. Students have always provided positive feedback, particularly for the Economics Department. Another factor to consider is your sincerity, seriousness, consistency, and punctuality with regard to the subject, as well as your desire to become enlightened.

B.A Hons. in Journalism from Lady Shri Ram College is definitely a better option than DCAC. It is way better in terms of campus, ranking, reputation, student crowd, etc. The cutoff required for the institute is also higher. So, you will be among competitive peers. If you don’t get LSR, try to get into other south-campus colleges. DCAC is not included in any of the DU campuses, which is a huge disadvantage.

The admission procedure at Delhi College of Arts and Commerce is similar to that of other colleges under DU.

  • At first, you will have to fill the online form available on the official website of DU.
  • Then you have to complete all the criteria of admission like cutoffs, etc. 
  • If you have scored well according to the cutoff, you will be able to apply.
  • Now you can visit the college and verify your documents.

You just have to fill the DU form and then wait for the cutoffs to get released. If you clear the cut off, go through the required processes and you will get an admission in DCAC.

Swati Arora,

It is suggested that you go for Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) rather than Dyal Singh College (DSC).

Here are some reasons why:

  • If you want a college with better infrastructure and canteen opt for DSC. 
  • On the other hand DCAC provides excellent Extra-curricular activities, societies, clubs, placements and overall exposure.
  • The faculty of both the colleges are good. DSC is better in B.A subjects but not economics.
  • DCAC has better connectivity. It is near to metro stations on the yellow line and pink line. Whereas DSC is only close to JLN stadium metro station on the violet line.
  • Neither of the two colleges offer hostel facilities. 
  • But it is easier to find accommodation near DCAC than to DSC.
  • Accommodation near DCAC is also affordable.

Therefore overall DCAC is a much better choice. But in the end it depends on individual preference. Try visiting both the colleges, explore, talk to the alumni or faculty members, if possible and then take the decision.
