Here are some things you need to consider before choosing a college. These include the following. If you want to select an institution by considering the ranking, opt for Shyam Lal followed by BR Ambedkar. Evening colleges tend to have lower ranks overall. Your decision should also depend on the location of the college. As daily transportation will be necessary. You can opt for evening colleges if you have a job during the day. Shyam Lal is definitely preferred more than B.R Ambedkar.  As both the colleges are equally good in placements and faculty.  The difference lies in the infrastructure and the environment you get to study in, for which Shyam Lal is a better option.

The most common reason for people having a bad perception of Shyam Lal college is the reputation of the olden days of the college. Many people might complain because it’s an out-campus college as it is away from the North or South campus of DU. So, it might lack some facilities and the environment which in-campus colleges might have. One of my relatives was lucky enough to be a part of the faculty in Shyam Lal College. He taught subjects like Company Law and Financial Accounting.  Here are some remarkable points he had experienced there: The classrooms and corridors are usually full of cheerful students listening and grasping the contents of lectures. Students' priority had been to attend the classes in the college.  All thanks to the well-prepared pedagogy and friendly interaction with the students.  No doubt students loved giving priority to attendance, classes, and other activities. Other faculty members were quite friendly and helpful as well.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if the college is situated on campus or not. Follow your passion and work hard wherever you are, as that is the only way to succeed.

My cousin sister recently graduated from Satyawati College with her English (Hons). To be precise, the experience wasn’t as pleasant as she expected. Here are some crucial insights regarding the college and faculty according to her first-hand experience. The faculty is not up to the mark due to the overwhelming amount of politics among themselves.  The cold war between the right and left-wing politics creates tension and fights between them. There have been instances when the faculty is too careless to even come to class. Instead, you might be marked absent for attendance, which is unacceptable. Once my sister submitted her assignment on time but it got lost due to the faculty’s carelessness.  To make matters worse, she was marked 0 for that assignment.  Later she found out they usually do that to students who call them out on their insincerity.

But due to my sister’s awful experience at Satyawati, she eventually lost interest in the subject. Moreover, before taking admission into any DU college you must do thorough research on its faculty. Some colleges have really awful faculty which plays a huge role in your career.

It’s better to prefer DU regular colleges given the choice. Course-wise, choosing B.Com over BBA is better, unless you are particularly interested in doing BBA.
