I have a few friends from SVC and DRC. According to them, among the two, SVC will be a better option than DRC.
Pros about SVC:
The only con about SVC is that it is located on the South campus, other than that the rest is fine. DRC is also an excellent college having the advantage of being located on the North campus.
You can look up to both of these colleges and decide as per your preference.
Chandigarh University is better in all aspects than SVC in Agriculture. University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University (CU), Punjab is the head organization of horticultural instruction and research in Punjab and North India.
Few highlights of UIAS Department are given below.
Here are some of the things that make Chandigarh University the best institute for Agriculture.
The institute puts great efforts to place their students. Placement can be assured only with the cooperation of the students. The institute also organizes various trips and programs like RAWE which is a prerequisite for placements.
This entirely depends on your preference. If you are interested in Computer Science then your goal should not only be CIC.
You can get into IIT, NIT, BITS, etc. which are also excellent in terms of CS. So, make your goal clear, as college is not the factor. Do not take a drop for just a college, take it only for CS, and no matter the institute, work hard to succeed in it.
If your interest lies in CIC then you should continue it. But keep in mind that you are from a commerce background, so it will not be easy for you to compete with other students of science background.
SVC is one of the best colleges of DU and your course is the most popular among students, so if you think to pursue your career further in commerce, SVC is really a good option.
Both ARSD and Venky College are reputed colleges but ARSD has a slight edge for commerce courses. ARSD has the best faculty for the commerce department. Although Venky College offers better placement opportunities. So, choose the institute based on what you want out of the course.
The table given below will provide an insight into the commerce courses offered by these two institutes.

One of my friends studied at Ramjas College, so my answer might be a bit inclined towards it. But SVC is also a good institution, so the choice basically depends on that particular individual.

So, it all comes down to the fact where you want to live, grow and explore. Choose the one that suits your requirements the best.
One thing you should know before making any decision is to identify your career goal. If management is your choice, opt for it. You can continue the same because DU JAT requires a dedicated preparation for 3 months maximum.
It is suggested that you can keep yourself aware of current affairs, start reading newspapers for vocabulary enhancement, interact more on social media regarding DU JAT and analyze the previous year's trends.
Try doing your biochemistry studies as well as the preparation of DU JAT side by side for at least one hour daily. It is definitely a hectic process but it ultimately pays off.
