Which college should I choose for History (hons) Dyal Singh College or Delhi College of Arts and Commerce?

It is suggested that you go for Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) rather than Dyal Singh College (DSC). Here are some reasons why: If you want a college with better infrastructure and canteen opt for DSC. On the other hand DCAC provides excellent Extra-curricular activities, societies, clubs, placements and overall exposure. The faculty of both the colleges are good. DSC is better in B.A subjects but not economics. DCAC has better connectivity. It is near to metro stations on the yellow line and pink line. Whereas DSC is only close to JLN stadium metro station on the violet line. Neither of the two colleges offer hostel facilities. But it is easier to find accommodation near DCAC than to DSC. Accommodation near DCAC is also affordable. Therefore overall DCAC is a much better choice. But in the end it depends on individual preference. Try visiting both the colleges, explore, talk to the alumni or faculty members, if possible and then take the decision.

Is Dyal Singh a good college?

Fees is very minimal as compared to other Pvt. Colleges

I think course is very affordable. Although colleges can work more on their campus. I don't remember the exact amount but it cost me around 25,000-35,000 (for whole course) which is very much affordable if we compare with the pvt. Institutes. There was provision for scholarship and they transferred 1500 when we graduated.

Dyal Singh College Review

There is no fee. Cost to study is very friendly for students as it is a government college. It also decreases every year. For my course our college does not offer any scholarships or anything financial. But there are other scholarships i have seen students availed.

Sour and Sweet Dreams

Affordability for History Honors and even most of the courses at Delhi University is really good. They are very less compared to any other college or University in Delhi. Even the BPL families can apply for the return of fees. The scholarship is also accessible through exams. But the internships and placements with this course is not great.

The Great Dyal Singh College

For the first year, the fee was 13005 and it includes the exam fee. For the second and third years, the amount decreases. Many courses have internships and placements. I feel the fee really affordable as compared to private universities.

From a student of Dyal Singh college

According to me, fees are minimal which is 13000 per year. Scholarships can be availed when you score the highest in both semesters of the year. Award of academic excellence is also presented to those who score the highest.
