Which college of DU is better for political science hons: Dyal Singh College or Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College?

My knowledge is limited to the individual institutes and not their political science departments. In my opinion, Dayal Singh is a better choice than ARSD. here are a few reasons that justify my opinion Dyal Singh College has better infrastructure, a great location, and easy access to the metro station. Whereas. The metro line is still under construction near ARSD College. Both colleges are listed among the top 10 colleges in India. The crowd quality is similar in both the colleges with Dyal Singh giving a slight edge to ARSD. Dyal Singh has excellent amenities with a basketball court and spacious ground. Dyal Singh houses a massive library with more than 58,000 books on different disciplines, ranging from rare to the latest. It has a fully air-conditioned reading room with computers Dyal Singh has the facility of UGC-INFLIBNET through which the students can also access e-journals. All these points strongly claim that Dyal Singh is a better choice than ARSD unless you chose ASRD because of personal preferences.

A well-satisfactory college experience.

Talking specifically about my course i.e, pol sci hons, course fee structure is somewhat around 14k-14.5k anually, apart from this semester-wise exam feez is not added under this. That has to be paid seperately, which is around 1k per semester exams.

Life at Delhi University: Expectations vs Reality

The few structure in BA political science Hons is 15000/- per year , as per my understanding I didn't got any scholarship opportunity even when I was the topper of my class this year. And regarding the on campus jobs there is no such opportunity for humanities courses..rather they prefer technical courses
