One of my friends studied at Kalindi College of Delhi University. According to her, it is a really good institution and offers decent opportunities. SPM is also a good college and it has its fair share of pros and cons. It is a well facilitated institution. Here are some facts about both of them: Kalindi College: They have a highly experienced faculty. They are also helpful towards the students, you will get to learn a lot from them.

SPM:  It has active clubs and societies students can take part in.  They give a fair opportunity to every student.  It also has one of the best auditoriums in all DU colleges.  Their canteen is affordable and offers hygienic food.  The administration and faculty are not up to the mark. They are not cooperative with the students. The faculty members do not take initiative to encourage practical works, allow creativity, have valid arguments, etc. Also the college does not provide hostel facilities so people either have to live as paying guests or have to commute on a daily basis.  So even though you might get ample opportunities like internships there is no active participation for this SPM lags a lot behind than the other DU colleges. Overall SPM is a below average college where management does not put the slightest efforts to make it a better place. Therefore Kalindi will be a better option.
