Kamala Nehru College, Journalism Honors

Entrance Preview

After the cut off list was out n i was fit to apply, i wrote a journalism test which had basic news, gk and english questions, i sat in a personal interview with their professor panel and got through after i cracked both. I dont remember my score bt it was a pretty good score. Also the interview is a make or break. So basically scoring in your written test doesnt matter if u fail to impress in ur personal interview.

Course Curriculum Overview

Our course BA Journalism (Hons) had a very impressive curriculum right from documentary film making, to writing news articles to social sciences, the environment studies, political science basically covering all aspects of knowledge areas and evrything that will make for a complete journalist. The faculty was well acquainted with the subjects, not only did they add to the theoretical approach to varied subjects bt also their experiences accounted for a thorough practical, on the job kind of knowledge.

Internships Opportunities

I did my internship at CNN IBN bt the college played no role in providing any internships. There wasnt any internship or placement policy atleast back then.I was not offered a stipend as the internship could only last a month with all the exams and assisngments for college took mist of the time and also the college gave only a months free time for internship.

Placement Experience

0.5

Their were no campus placements by my college. We had to look out for hobs and internships on our own. The teachers may have given some references to few but mostly its a DIY situation.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees for Journalism Hons was by far the most expensive out of all subjects in DU. If the other subjects were paying an annual fee of 5-6k, journalism students were paying an annual fee of 11k.

Fees and Financial Aid

Not that i know of or availed. Loans and scholarships also were not very easily discussed or popularly known then!

Campus Life

So it was an all girls college so the gender ratio point is nullified here. The sports team was popular but apart from that the extra curricular societies like dance, theatre, fashion etc were a huge part of KNC! The fashion society and dance society was the most popular from our college amongst all of DU. The western music and classical music societies were very active and won accolades evrywhere they went. Most of our cultural societies took part in all DU competitions and won most places.

Opportunity to pursue a degree from delhi university through open and distance learning.

Dislikes

Limited opportunities for regular classroom interaction and face to face engagement with teachers and fellow students.
Students pursuing distance learning may need to rely more on self-study and independent preparation
More regular communication, student support, and interactive academic activities would improve the overall learning experience

Course Curriculum Overview:

The BA English Honours curriculum at DU SOL is relevant and provides a strong foundation in literature and language. The course covers diverse topics that support academic learning and critical thinking. The flexible structure is suitable for distance-learning students. Adding more practical activities, updated study materials, and interactive learning opportunities could further improve the overall course experience.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

Honest review of ddu

The teaching faculty is really nice and polite. They usually help students even when u contact them after college hours.
The engagements and the quality of the social interactions in this college is also very good and very uplifting.
The quality of the infrastructure is very good compared to other colleges in du, considering its very new.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because the thought of learning about the literature of the older times was pretty exciting to me while I was choosing the course. The curriculum however does prepares you if you want to continue ur academic journey in the English field.

Remarks:

Positive : the faculties are good and I could say our college is the meeting place of various cultures ranging from Kerala to jammukashmir Negative: the infrastructure is poor. Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.

Kamala Nehru College: Where Opportunity awaits

I applied to the Banaras Hindu University in the same course that is History Hons. I even secured admission there, but as the University of Delhi has a much better reputation than Banaras Hindu University so i got in here. There was also some students who did there high school from Banaras Hindu University but got in here. The only admission process followed here is through CUET UG examination. The cutoffs are rather high with about atleast 550 marks out of 800 at my time for the whole of the university not just Kamala Nehru College. Based on your scores and preference you will get admission here....Read More
