What Students Say
Likes
- Social interactions are great with seniors helping juniors anytime. No ragging.
- The course structure and content is drafted deliberately. Equal weightage given to theory & practical periods. Wide array of electives available through GE, SEC & VAC, making learning practical and applicable in real life.
- The canteen area, ground and sports facilities, societies, events are also a big positive.
Dislikes
- Professors are not much serious about their subjects in few subjects. Rigor is less relatively with many classes being cancelled.
- Infrastructure is there, but optimal utilisation for professional development is not done.
- Campus crowd is divided into two parts subtly. First which is serious about studies, internships, placement and skills - the creme da la creme. Other part lags academically let alone other activities hence the crowd averaging to mid overall.
Course Curriculum Overview
Only 2 colleges were there above ARSD in my preference list. Hansraj & SSCBS both for CS Hons. Rejection occured simply due to less marks scored than cutoff. You need to be 12th passed with >60% score. Give CUET exam and chose subjects studied in 12th. Score enough to clear cutoff. Admission is completely online. Only later is semester does physical verification happens once.
Placement Experience
Mostly Big4's, mid-caps and startups visit the campus. Tech firms are less present. Average package ranges between 3 to 4 lpa. Percentage of student being placed is low however has significantly improved over the years. I plan to work right after degree completion.
Fees and Financial Aid
The annual fees for the course B.Sc. CS (Hons.) is approx. INR 62K which includes everything from tuition fee to lab fee. Apart from this INR 1.5K - 2.5K is the examination fees paid bi-annually depending on chosen subjects. Sanjeev Arora Memorial Prize is a scholarship bestowed to best student in CS course. Apart from this college also offers few concessions from time to time based on categories like SC, ST, OBC-NCL, GEN-EWS and WOMEN.
Campus Life
Extracurriculars are the only thing that keep the college alive. Societies, sports (basketball, Cricket, football,etc), dance, acting, debates and pro-bono activities keep happening time to time. A slow down occurs during exam months otherwise campus life keeps bustling and stays vibrant. Some of the societies are: 180DC (consulting soc), FIC (finance & consulting soc), Tech-A-Thon (Tech soc), Rangayan (Dance soc), Nimbus (Debate)... Etc. There is projectors in all classrooms though used scarcely. Mostly used in computer labs. Books and journals are densely available with fully AC library.

Faculty
In my course it is 1:40. But single section. Faculty is friendly and very approachable. Rashmi Mishra Ma'am for Mathematics for Computing was one of the best for her teaching methods. Making every concept lucid and practical. Didn't like any of the faculties of GE, SEC & VAC much. Everyone approached the subjects lazily. Although given the low credits and impact on GPA. Seems valid. Single exam per semester. Total 6 sems in 3 years with optional 4th year for honors with research making 8 semesters. Exams are easy given one practices the concept and does all pyq's from 2-3 years. Questions repeat with 80% success rate. Failure rate is <5%.
Night Life
Satya Niketan is famous for hangouts. Nearby being SN. Most hangout in cafes and game centers around it. There is not hostel in college so many live in PGs in Satya making it safe. Although, awareness at night is suggested given the park is surrounded by people having drugs and doing mischievous activites.
