Placements & Internships : Shyam Lal College too extends the aforesaid vital service of placement in companies of repute to its students through its Placement Cell. The main endeavor of our college Placement Cell is to get students placed in reputed multinationals, government jobs, NGOs and the private sector. All students registered with the Placement Cell are entitled to placement assistance, counseling for employment and even self-employment. The Training & Placement Cell assures support to the visiting companies at every stage of recruitment process by making college infrastructure available to them.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : I got admission in Shyam Lal College which is under Delhi University through merit basis. Entrance exam option was also there for some of the courses but in my course i.e. in history Hons I got admission through my 12th examination board marks. During my time history Hons cutoff was 98% for general. The best four marks counted and you have to choose colleges according to your percentage.

Fees & Scholarships : The history Hons course fee is Rs.20,000 per year. SLC offers distinctive awards or scholarships to meritorious students who display exemplary brilliance in academics in various disciplines. The College also offers Academic Recognitions to meritorious students: those who acquire I, II and III Positions in Academic results in all undergraduate & Post-graduate courses. Other than these, the students also apply for Scholarships such as: (a) Special Scholarship Scheme for Jammu & Kashmir (since 2011) under the MHRD, Govt. of India, (b) YuvaNirman Scheme under the aegis of Delhi Higher Education Aid Trust with Delhi University Scholarship Cell promoting it, (c) Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma Gold Medal, (d) Scholarship from the World Brotherhood Organization [Amount of Rs. 20,000], and (e) All India Entrance Scholarship Examination instituted by University of Delhi in 2015. All Scholarships—procedures of application and information have been made online at the National e-Scholarship Portal, an all-in-one service medium for seekers of all types of Scholarships.

Academics & Faculty : Our class starts from 9am onwards and end in 2:30. Teachers are so sincere, they have such a good teaching skill, they take presentation along with assignments and we have to give both because on this basis we get our internal marks. Overall the quality of teaching is so good. And my overall experience in college is nice.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : The college’s bank, MS Central Bank of India is located within the college campus. The bank offers all banking facilities to the teaching and non-teaching staff as well as the students. Account holders may also avail the facility of internet banking. The college also has the ATM facility, from the same bank, installed at the main entrance of the college. Canteen is a place where the students can refresh and rejuvenate themselves with wholesome food after a grueling learning schedule. It also provides the students with space and a relaxed atmosphere in which they interact with one another. Keeping in view the importance of the canteen in the day-to-day life of the college, our canteen has been recently renovated and is fully air-conditioned now. We ensure that the canteen provides hygienic and healthy food items to our students, faculty and non-teaching staff at affordable prices. To monitor hygiene, quality and prices, the staff council, annually, constitutes a canteen committee. The canteen committee also addresses the canteen related grievances of the students. The students have the option of approaching the canteen committee directly or through their duly elected students’ union representatives for speedy resolution of their grievances. SLC has Four fully functional computer labs that are used by the students and the faculty for practical classes and other research related works. All these labs are fully air-conditioned and well stocked with all the latest software and hardware. These facilities enable the students to remain updated and to sharpen their skills in computing and related areas. Besides these four well equipped computer laboratories that have many computers, there is also one knowledge resource centre where students and teachers can acquire abundant knowledge through e-resources by accessing world’s best databases, e-journals, e-books and reports in an easy and expeditious manner. It is located within the library premises and has the seating capacity of 50 with separate computer system in every cubicle. The computers are regularly updated with new software as well as with updated versions of existing software. The facility is available on all working days from 09.00 AM to 05.00 PM. The college has five well-equipped Physics, Chemistry and Botany Labs to cater to the needs of B.Sc. Physical Sciences course that the college offers. The college is aware that with changing times and courses, these labs need to be continuously upgraded and updated. A large scale renovation of these labs has been completed, which places these labs among the best in Delhi University colleges with comparable courses. The college also has a Botany Lab, since the recently revised course has a single paper on Life Science. The Sports Committee under the guidance of Sh. V.S Jaggi remained active throughout the academic session in its involvement with student participation in various games at National as well as University levels. Our students have participated both at National and Inter Varsity levels in different categories. Our students also secured positions in Inter College tournaments and won prizes and brought laurels to the College.
