SLC DU: 1 Answered Question

Which college should I choose now that I have the option of BR Ambedkar or Shyam Lal college? Also should I consider any evening college?

Megha Rohilla
Dinesh Mishra,studied B.Com at University of Delhi (2017)

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.
Categories BR Ambedkar College Shyam Lal College
Course Fee INR 32,000 INR 49,000
Placement Percentage 85% 80%
Highest CTC 10 LPA 12 LPA
Average CTC 5 LPA 5-6 LPA

Try not to go for evening colleges unless you are very uncomfortable with the morning timings. Because more preference is given to the morning batch students during placements.
