What are some of the worst Delhi University colleges?

Delhi University is the most sought-after institute by students of graduation and postgraduation. Even though clearing cutoffs and securing a seat at DU is extremely challenging, certain colleges at Delhi University have failed to secure a favorable student opinion, either due to poor infrastructure, negligent faculty/ administration, or simply because of the poor neighborhood.

Some of these colleges, as suggested by a few friends of mine, are-

• Ramanujan College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure in terms of classrooms and especially, the canteen area
• Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women
• Acharya Narendra Dev College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure, poor canteen facilities, poor washroom facility. Not a pleasant neighborhood. Lab facilities are below par and equipments are very old. However, the teachers are very supportive. The admin section is not very helpful and supportive towards the students
• Satyawati College
• Some other colleges include- Shyam Lal College, Shri Aurobindo College, Deshbandhu College, PGDAV, Zakir Husain Delhi College, JDMC, Bharti College, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, and Aryabhatta College

This list is subjective and some of the people have even been graduated 5 or 6 years ago. Colleges at DU undergo constant improvements in terms of administration, infrastructure, academics, and so on. It depends also upon individual taste as to which college one finds good or bad.

Each college at DU has a creamy layer to it. From rigorous admission processes to high cut-offs, the university manages to keep the colleges at the same level. 

No college can be termed as worst because it completely depends on the students, faculty, and the administration. Also, infrastructure does not play a great role in deciding the reputation of any college. There are many top institutes that lack in terms of facilities but still manage to stay on top.

A college will only be worst if the students are not motivated towards learning or aspiring to do new things. It will be then just a waste of time and money. Students from all over the country choose DU over any college or university. 

You may find bad reviews about colleges like Ramanujan, PGDAV, Shradhanand, etc., but it is just a matter of time before their improvement.
