One of my friends studied at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC). It is considered to be one of the best commerce colleges of Delhi University.
Their Economics department shares more or less the similar kind of attention as the commerce department. The college is also renowned for its student crowd, which is said to be the best in the university at par with Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC).
Unlike the other commerce departments, placements of the Economics department is comparatively less. But it is gradually getting better with more exposure. Students here mostly study and learn on their own rather than depending on the faculty. So, you have to keep these points in mind before getting admission here.
Both Gargi and Shaheed Bhagat Singh are well-regarded colleges with equally good reputations. They are located in the same city and even their year of establishment is the same. The faculty pools are great. So choosing one over the now depends more on your preference. If you are serious about your academics and future you can go for the all-girls college, Gargi but if you want a more vibrant college experience, go for SBS.
As a whole, it can be said that Gargi has better placement opportunities while SBS has a tad bit better faculty pool.
Now the choice is yours!
Choosing either Kirori Mal College or Shaheed Bhagat Singh College depends on your convenience and future plans. Both are quite reputed. I have a few friends from SBSC and their experience with the college has been great.
Here are some of the highlights of SBSC.
Overall, SBSC can be a decent option for pursuing your B.Com degree. However, you should always give preference to the course over college. So, choose the institute that offers a better program for your choice of course.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh College has a very good English department and is one of the best departments in the city.
They have an amazing faculty and the professors are equally talented. The DU English faculty has been rated as one of the top 100 departments in the world, so opting for a degree in Literature from any DU college will be worthwhile.
Apart from that huge fests and other cultural events are organized. The management staff is youthful and has no scope of miscommunication between them and the students. The college has a state-of-the-art computerized library with over 65,000 books and 70 journals, so there are no lags considering studies or reference material you need as a student. So, go for English Hons. at SBSC without any doubt.
Both colleges belong to the same league. However, for a B.Com degree, Shaheed Bhagat Singh College is better. It has a better faculty base for Commerce. It also offers better gender diversity.
Although JMC has good faculty for B.Com, it’s not better than SBSC. JMC has a vast campus but there are not many hangout places or food joints, etc. Overall, SBSC is definitely a better option for doing B.Com.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh and DCAC offer a BA in Economics. Whereas, Symbiosis School of Economics offers a BSc (Hons.) in Economics. SBSC is ranked 151 out of 200 top colleges in India by NIRF. DCAC is ranked 31 out of 120 in Arts by India Today. NIRF has ranked SSE in the 20th position in India.
Admission:
All the colleges take admission based on merit however, the major difference lies between their cut-offs, which vary every year. For the year 2019, the cut off for Shaheed Bhagat Singh and DCAC went as high as 96% for BA Economics.
