Kamala Nehru College, DU

I wanted to get into DU. So according to the marks that I obtained, among the good colleges I got through Maharaja Agrasen, then Maitreyi college, and finally Kamala Nehru. Maharaja Agrasen was in Mayur vihar, very close to my home but I wanted a complete "DU experience" which included travelling too. Other than that I was also looking for better opportunities and waiting for the upcoming cut off lists also. With Maitreyi this was a great college but with studies, I also wanted to be in the Indian dance society. While getting through the admission process I realized there wasn't one. To get through a good college in DU you have to keep getting admission in colleges that you're getting but you need to wait for the last cut off list of other colleges. I finally got through Kamala Nehru in their 5th cut off list with 91.75%. There was no counselling. The admission process was online.

I chose Political science for my graduation because I wanted a hardcore subject that will give me further options, opens up more domains for me. For our course, there are two sections of around 100 students approx and there were a total of around 15 faculty members. Most professors have done their PhD and have proficiency in what they are doing. It was fairly easy for the students to get average marks if they study well and all the professors were super helpful too.

In your 3rd year of college, you're eligible for placements. I do not have much knowledge about the placements as in political science not many people go for placements. My plans, for now, is to work and allow myself to explore as much as possible and after a year or so do my further studies in PR.

My total fee for the whole year was around 9000/- I had no scholarships. It was completely marks-based. There is a placement cell in Kamala Nehru but I didn't fill in for it as my first and the only option at that point was to further go for my masters.

Yes. DU has annual fests from January mid to March. It's a full rollercoaster of competitions especially for the people who are part of society. Some famous performers are also invited to the fests. The library is huge and is located in a completely different building. It's spacious and you can sit and study in peace. There are basic amenities when it comes to any DU college. Kamala Nehru really broadened my mind and ideologies apart from anything else.
