Good library, old but large collection. Book Bank facility. Multimedia lab. <br> - Sports fields, auditorium, labs in many departments. Some classrooms are okay. <br> - New building made, promising design. - New building not yet in use (or only partially). Many classes still in old buildings. Some classrooms are not well maintained. <br> - Issues: poor ventilation, broken furniture, fans, water supply problems etc. <br> - No hostel facility. Stay updated on when the new building becomes usable. For now, be ready with own arrangements (PGs etc.). Also, if things like WiFi, labs are lacking, you might need extra effort (self-learning, using internet, possibly labs outside).
The Commerce Department is well-established; the B.Com Honours is sought after. <br> • Subject coverage is decent, especially for basics in accounting, finance, commerce theory. Students feel that for commerce students, many topics taught align with what’s needed for professional exams like CA / CS etc. <br> • Teachers are generally well qualified, helpful and approachable. Many reviews mention that faculty knowledge is good. • Some reviews say teaching style is not very engaging; that sometimes the way the professors teach doesn’t help much in understanding difficult topics. <br> • Latest, more industry-oriented content is less emphasized. Skills like modern analytics, software tools etc. are reportedly not always integrated. <br> • Attendance, internal assessments matter, strict in some cases; missing classes or labs can hurt.
For some courses (especially commerce / arts) there are placement drives, internship opportunities. <br> - Companies do visit, though many are smaller or not always relevant to all streams. - In courses like Science there is usually no strong placement support. Students say for many streams, placements are minimal. <br> - The average package numbers are moderate to low; very few high-package cases. <br> - Some batches get very few offers. If placements matter to you, check stats for your specific course. Try to connect with seniors to see what they got. Also push the college / placement cell: more workshops, upskilling, invite companies.
For what you're paying (DU govt college), many think ZHDC gives decent returns especially for arts/commerce. <br> - Faculty mostly helpful. Courses are recognized, degree holds weight. - If your priority is high placements and cutting-edge facilities, you might feel slightly underwhelmed compared to top DU colleges or private ones. <br> - Hidden costs: PG rent, commuting, maybe paying for lab work outside or for better resources. <br> - If your course is Science or you need labs, your costs/effort may go up. If money is a concern, ZHDC is still among better govt options. But plan budget for outside classes, commuting, equipment etc. Also try scholarships / grants if available.
The crowd is mixed but many students feel it’s decent. Societies are active in places. Cultural/extra-curricular opportunities exist. <br> - Value for money is often considered good given being a DU college, govt college. <br> - Library, green areas and general ambience get positive points from many. - Not much hostel or on-campus accommodation; you’d need PGs / rent. <br> - Infrastructure discomforts affect campus life (heat, broken furniture etc.). <br> - Some students complain about canteen food, hygiene, lack of comfort in daily facilities. <br> - New building delays lead to resource constraints. Best to stay somewhere nearby, so commuting isn’t tough. Engage in societies etc. to make campus life richer. Also, push for student feedback to administration for improving infrastructure.
Taking all that into account, here’s how I see it: If your goal is to get a solid commerce degree, pursue further education (MBA, etc.), or do professional exams (CA / CS) while keeping costs low, then yes, ZHDC is a reasonable option. For many students, it’s a practical and affordable choice. But if your priority is getting top campus placements, or entering high-paying jobs right after undergrad, or having cutting-edge infrastructure / labs / practical exposure,

The college has poor infrastructure. The new building hasn't been made into use till now. The old building is horrible. Half of the benches are broken. The college ground doesn't open everyday. overall I will say the college has poor infrastructure.
The teachers & professors are serious about studies to a point that they even check the notebooks of students. This depends on person to person. Some might like this behaviour of teachers and some might not.
If you're coming to this college seeking placements, you're probably at the wrong place. This college does not offer any good placements and even if you get one then it wouldn't be much helpful. Don't consider this college for placement.
The college fee is very low .this is a good thing but considering traveling expenses and pg rent and all. It feels expensive for majority students. Also the college does not offer placements so I won't say this college is value for money .
Best- The college library is fully air-conditioned. this is probably the only best thing about our campus.rest of the campus is worst and hella boring. The campus life now feels okay though as it has been time in this college.

Hi,
Don’t Judge college by NIRF ranking. all the colleges of Delhi university are equally good. the only things matters is the Crowd and Location. As per my knowledge Location is very good situated in the Heart of New Delhi near Civic Centre near New Delhi Railway station.
Hey Sneha,
According to the rules of Delhi University, if you are eligible for any College according to a particular cutoff and you have not applied for it you will not be given admission to it in that cutoff. But you can apply for college in next cutoff but as you missed your seat in previous cutoff you will be considered as a 'defaulter' and will be called for admission on the third day of next cutoff.
Good Luck!
Hi Sutirtha,
You cannot expect to be admitted in Zakir Hussain College on the basis of merit only. If you have An ECA or sports quota then there is some hope for you. If your question remains unanswered or you have any more queries then feel free to ask.
