Our Take:
The data in the table suggests that the college has all the requirements to provide students with a quality education as per the latest standards.

Our Take
Daulat Ram College hostels have received numerous accolades over the years, which signifies that the hostel facilities provided to the students are top-notch. However, if we look at the seat distribution, the highest number of seats are reserved for UG first-year students. There are only 26 seats available for UG second and third year students. It indicates that students need to shift to nearby PGs or hostels once they get into the second year.

106 |
Our Take
The faculty data presented above shows that the college has more contractual professors than regular professors. It indicates there is a chance of faculty transfers, which can affect the quality of teaching. Students are used to a professor's teaching methods, and adjusting to new teaching methods can be stressful at times. Therefore, the college must employ more regular professors to avoid such issues.

Furthermore, 3 skill enhancement programs, and other training programs for non-teaching staff were carried out to make them efficient in administrative work in 2021-22 as per the report. Along with that, 6 non-teaching staff were awarded for serving the college for 25 years.

Overall: In my 12th class,I got 92.4% and landed in Daulat Ram College in July 2018.It is a girls college.According to my percentage,I got combination of Hindi and Political Science in B.A. programme.Being Honest I am still regretting by making this choice,it is the most useless subject combination.you can't give TGT SST exam for government school vacancies because they want either geography or history with any other SST subjects.Having either geography or history is must to become eligible for TGT SST.You will also not eligible for TGT english because english because you will study english only in 3 semesters of B.A.Programme.So choose wisely before making any decision.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is OK.It's library has two floors out of which 1st floor is permanently closed for many years due to broken ceiling and Principal is not repairing it.ACs are not frequent in classes.Only fans are present in the classrooms.Benches are Ok.
Faculty: In my graduation,Professors are nice and calm.They taught nicely however their checking is strict.In case of administrative staff,they are also nice and help you with your problems.Library professors are bit strict but overall they are nice.

Overall: It's in north campus in DU. It has so much of potential still it's not considered as the best. But trust me in my point of view it is just like other colleges in north campus all cluster colleges are same in north campus none of them is lesser and miranda and Daulat Ram are two best Women's College Daulat Ram is neither less.
Placement: The placement is not that much good for BSc Hons Physics. Actually it's nowhere in north campus because a simple BSc graduate placement is so low even in top colleges of DU. And same goes for here.
Infrastructure: It's nice but we need more funds to make the building best. I don't know what adminstration is doing. We really have pretty little park but that's not maintained. I wish all are up to dated to make our ranking more higher.
Faculty: Though few are rude but most of them are just so friendly and kind. It doesn't seems like you are talking to some professor. They are just like your another friend.
Hostel: Hostel fees are quite high but the facilities are top notch even better than miranda. Rooms are soo clean. It has tiles, wardrobe too. Also the hostel area is so pretty with pretty flowers around it.
Overall: Although Infrastructure was quite moderate but the few areas were really well built in addition to new construction work has been taking place of buildings .Faculty was nice..seniors are really appreciate,supportive,friendly kind natured. Many cultural activities also been organised in our college time to time. Hence the conclusion is that Daulat Ram College is a very decent college .
