Which college should I choose for History (hons) Dyal Singh College or Delhi College of Arts and Commerce?
It is suggested that you go for Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) rather than Dyal Singh College (DSC).
Here are some reasons why:
- If you want a college with better infrastructure and canteen opt for DSC.
- On the other hand DCAC provides excellent Extra-curricular activities, societies, clubs, placements and overall exposure.
- The faculty of both the colleges are good. DSC is better in B.A subjects but not economics.
- DCAC has better connectivity. It is near to metro stations on the yellow line and pink line. Whereas DSC is only close to JLN stadium metro station on the violet line.
- Neither of the two colleges offer hostel facilities.
- But it is easier to find accommodation near DCAC than to DSC.
- Accommodation near DCAC is also affordable.
Therefore overall DCAC is a much better choice. But in the end it depends on individual preference. Try visiting both the colleges, explore, talk to the alumni or faculty members, if possible and then take the decision.

Should I do BA programme from St. Stephens or English honours from JMC?
I have friends from both St. Stephens and JMC. Here are a few of the information that I got from them.
- St. Stephens is a prestigious college with its own sets of rules and code of conduct. It has a good campus. If you want to explore ideas, places and have a decent campus life then St. Stephens is a great option.
- JMC is an off-campus college. So, you won’t have access to campus. It is a girl’s college with strict rules.
Now coming to the courses, in English honors, you will learn about a myriad of texts from different countries and different time periods. However, you will have to spend your three years around poetry and prose. You won’t get to experience much diversity when it comes to subjects. For the BA program, however, you can choose all subjects from Social Science. There are many combinations that you can opt for.
So, I will suggest that you choose the program which will keep you interested for the next three years. College life will be similar irrespective of the institute. Also, gone are the days when students with honors degrees were treated superior to the students who pursued programs.
