Among these three, you need to choose between Lady Shree Ram and Miranda as both of them are good colleges. LSR is better than all because of the various factors including the environment, peer groups, events, and many other things.

If you are not a native resident of NCR and there’s a choice between no hostel LSR or the Miranda House with the hostel, then you can opt for the latter as you will get to enjoy and experience the hostel life. If you are unable to get a hostel anywhere then opt for LSR anyway.

Question 3

Which is better for English honors between: Lady Shri Ram College and Daulat Ram College?

Accepted Answer

Between Lady Shri Ram College and Daulat Ram College, the former is the better option for pursuing English honors. Some of my friends attended Lady Shri Ram College and according to them, the faculty base for English Department is great. The cutoff for LSR College is also more compared to Daulat Ram. You will definitely have an excellent time studying there.

Question 4

Which is better: BA Hons. Journalism from Lady Shri Ram or Delhi College of Arts and Commerce?

Accepted Answer

B.A Hons. in Journalism from Lady Shri Ram College is definitely a better option than DCAC. It is way better in terms of campus, ranking, reputation, student crowd, etc. The cutoff required for the institute is also higher. So, you will be among competitive peers. If you don&rsquo;t get LSR, try to get into other south-campus colleges. DCAC is not included in any of the DU campuses, which is a huge disadvantage.

Question 5

Would I regret choosing Miranda House over LSR?

Accepted Answer

Both Miranda House and the Lady Shri Ram (LSR) College of Commerce are two of the most prominent women’s colleges under the University of Delhi. They both have huge respect from the teaching fraternity.

Miranda House is in North Delhi while LSR is in South Delhi and is actually very far from most other colleges. Both the colleges will change your perspective and will give you a totally new outlook of the world ahead. You will make some great friends and your girl-girl bond will definitely grow stronger.

However, I feel that LSR is a little bit too sophisticated and modern and the girls also feel a little too posh. At Miranda House, you will get students from all corners and strata of society. Overall you will not regret for the next three years the decision you took today.

What shall I choose: LSR statistics Hons or JMC economics Hons?

Accepted Answer

LSR and JMC both are reputed colleges. If we compare then LSR is definitely a better college than JMC. LSR is the best girls college in DU, followed by JMC.

However, it’s best to choose the course of your interest over college. As the course will have more effect on your future. So, research about the course that you are interested in, in both LSR and JMC.

In general, as a subject, Economics Hons has better scope than Statistics Hons. However, if you are interested in numbers, Statistics is a better fit for you.
