Shyam Lal College, Delhi University: 3 Answered Questions

Which one is better for English (Hons): Shyam Lal College or Satyawati College?

Archita SahaBachelor of Arts Degrees in English with Honors, Satyawati College, University of Delhi (2019)

Among these two institutes, Satyawati College is better for a degree in English (Hons). The faculty members of the English department are quite supportive. The student crowd of the department is decent. You will get to participate in many events and co-curricular activities. Satyawati College cutoff for B.A (Hons) English was 92.5, in 2021.

Which one is better for English Hons Shyam Lal College or Satyawati College?

Nirali ShuklaB.A. Hons. English Literature,University of Delhi (2015)

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.

Categories	Shyam Lal College	Satyawati College
Course Fee	29.75 - 52.35 K	22.96 - 52.32 K
Highest CTC	5.5 LPA	3.4 LPA
Average CTC	2.5 LPA	1.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	TCS, HP, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc.	KAN Universal Private Limited, Signori Armadio, Infosys, Deloitte, etc.

However, one of her friends did her English (Hons.) from Shyamlal College which turned out to be quite well and continued to go for higher studies in the same. 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.

In DU, which college is better for a BA in English Hons, Shyam Lal College or Dyal Singh Evening College?

Chandrima BanerjeeB.Com(Hons.) from University of Delhi (2021)

Both Shyam Lal College and Dyal Singh Evening College are good options for pursuing a BA in English Hons. There are good faculties for English in Delhi University. So, it’s up to you to utilize that opportunity.

As it is an evening college, adapting to Dyal Singh College’s schedule or timing can be challenging. If you are looking for a conventional college schedule then Shyam Lal College will be better for you.
