Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and really know their stuff. They're great at teaching too. The course material is spot-on, but it would be awesome to have more hands-on learning to get us ready for the real world. The exams each semester are pretty useful, and they're set up well. Also, you just need a 40% to pass, which is fair.
Placement: It's tough to find a job here because you need good connections. The pay ranges from 1 to 4 LPA, with an average of 2 to 3 LPA. Companies like Haldiram's, Coca-Cola, Nestle, and Mother Dairy come for placements. And lots of students get internships at these places, as well as at FSSAI and the Quality Council of India. You can get roles like QA labs or work in food safety and health.
Campus: The Wi-Fi here is terrible, but the classrooms are decent. It's a good place to have fun during college. The labs are useful and the library is just okay. I wish there was a hostel on campus. The food in the canteen needs to be better. They should improve the medical facilities too. And it would be great to have a sports and games society here.

Admission: The teachers here are okay, not super amazing. They definitely show more attention to students with money. Exams are serious and well-organized, following Delhi University rules.
Placement: Around 30% of us found jobs on our own. The college doesn't arrange placements for us since we're pursuing a bachelor's degree. Last year, a few seniors landed jobs in media companies without the college's help.
Campus: The college buildings look pretty average, nothing fancy. They're just like the typical Delhi University buildings in red color with a brick structure. Sadly, there's no hostel available for any course, whether it's journalism, microbiology, or any other course. The college only has two wings - A block and B block.

Admission: The teachers are really helpful and know their stuff. They give good notes that help for exams. If you study seriously before exams, you can get good grades. Some teachers use new examples from the industry, which is cool. But the course material feels old and needs to be updated. The exams are not too hard, and most students pass easily with 85-95% passing. If you work hard, you can do well in this course.
Placement: Half of the students went on to study more, while the rest got jobs or did internships. The highest and lowest pay packages were different for everyone because not many students did placements. Big companies like Tops India and Coca-Cola hired a few students. Everyone did internships in their last year to learn hands-on stuff.
Campus: The college is kind of small, but it has what we need. Wi-Fi works only in certain spots, though. The labs are great, especially for stuff like food and nutrition, human development, and communication. They have all the tools we need. The library is big with a separate reading area and three computer labs for different groups. No hostel, so we find our own place to stay. The canteen has good, healthy food made by food and nutrition students. There's a gym, badminton and basketball courts, yoga, plus Judo and Taekwondo.

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and know their stuff. They give us good notes and books to help us learn. The courses are interesting and make sense. There are 5 different departments covering things like communication, human development, resource management, fashion fabric, and food science. Oh, and the exams each semester are a piece of cake!
Placement: A lot of students found jobs through the placement cell here. Our college has a placement cell that helps us get jobs. The highest salary offered is between 1 to 6 LPA. Big companies come to our college for placements. Many students got great roles through the college. We have five departments in the home science college.
Campus: The college doesn't have hostels, but we do have Wi-Fi. Our classrooms are nice, and the libraries have books and previous year question papers. I love that the college is NAAC A++ accredited. We have sports, games, and a canteen with good food. Plus, there are medical facilities here. Oh, and the classrooms are air-conditioned too!

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and teach well. The course is good for a bachelor's degree. They talk about things that matter in the industry. Exams are okay if you keep up with your work. Getting a 7 GPA is not too tough, but you can aim for an 8+ with more work. The internal tests can be a lot though. They give us two tests and two assignments for each subject in a short time.
Placement: The college doesn't have a lot of job placements, but there's a placement cell that helps out. They offer on-campus jobs for Home Science, Fabric & Apparel Science, and Food and Nutrition students. Others usually go for Master's degrees.
Campus: The college doesn't have a hostel on campus, but there are lots of PG places nearby in places like Hauz Khas, Shahpur Jat, Malviya Nagar, and Saket. The library is open during college hours. The labs are big and great for all the different courses. The canteen has a lot of different foods to choose from, including healthy options. They also have a medical room and an indoor gym for students to work out. You can also find stuff for sports like basketball, badminton, taekwondo, chess, and carrom.

Admission: The teachers here are great for exams. They give us extra classes at the end, which is super helpful. The teaching quality is really good and they explain things in a way that's easy to understand. The exams aren't too hard, and most students pass, with around half of us passing.
Placement: Around 30% of students in my course, Bs. C (Hons) Home Science, landed internships. The highest salary was around Rs. 30,000-Rs. 35,000 per month, while the lowest was Rs. 24,000-Rs. 22,000. Companies like Nestle and Amul recruit here. I'm not sure about the exact number of students who got internships, but I think it's between 25% to 40%. The most common role offered is a nutritionist.
Campus: We have Wi-Fi here, but it can be a bit spotty at times. The labs, classrooms, library, and canteen are all good. The computer lab is especially useful for assignments. Unfortunately, there's no hostel on campus, but I'm not sure since I don't stay there.

Admission: The teachers here are a mix of awesome and just okay. Some of them really know their stuff and are super helpful. I thought the journalism program would be more hands-on, but it's mostly just theory. The exam fees are way too expensive, though.
Placement: The college talks about having a placement cell, but I didn't see any real help with internships or jobs. You're pretty much on your own to find work. They do offer a summer internship, but it only benefits a few students.
Campus: The college is in good shape. Washrooms are clean, and the whole campus is spotless. The food at the canteen is not great though. The college has a lovely garden with lots of plants and flowers. There's also a gym and a big library.

Admission: The courses cover a lot of topics with lots of info. They make sure it's interesting for us to learn. None of the subjects are dull. The teachers help us understand everything better.
Placement: The placement cell at our college is great. They help us find jobs and companies come to hire us. The people there are really nice and support us through the whole process.
Campus: The college has a good infrastructure, even though it's kind of old. There's plenty of space for cultural stuff and the labs are well-equipped for practicals. It really boosts our confidence to do our best here.

Admission: The faculty is mostly helpful, but some can be a bit arrogant and not very nice. The regular teachers are okay, but the guest lecturers are really great at what they do. They teach well and keep up with what's happening in other countries. Exams are split into three parts: internals, practicals, and the big board exam.
Placement: I'm a third-year Journalism student. The college doesn't offer good placement opportunities. We have to find internships ourselves. If you've done an internship before, they might just give you marks. There are a few internships available, but they're not very helpful. Plus, some need a graduate degree.
Campus: The campus is pretty good, with a simple red-brick building split into 2 blocks, each with three floors. We've got cool stuff like a basketball court, badminton court, a nice garden, and even a radio room. Plus, there's a canteen, printing machines, and a shop for stationery. It's not super fancy, but it's got everything we need.

Admission: I really like my college because it offers cool courses like Home Science, Microbiology, Biotechnology, and B.El.Ed. The courses last for four years and cover a bit of everything  theory, hands-on stuff, industry connections, and chances to do research. It's a great mix!
Placement: The placement scene at our college is pretty good. Non-tech students might have fewer options, but there's room to improve in security and job opportunities in different fields. The career support here is really helpful for students.
Campus: The college has a great reputation for education. The campus is awesome with cool facilities for studying and fun stuff. They want students to have a nice place to learn and hang out.
