Course Curriculum Overview

The professors are very smart and intellectual. They all have advanced degrees and teach very well along with guiding apart from the course. They prepare you well for exams and are very kind and polite.

Class Size: 64Course Fees: INR 10000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Internship offers come along in the college and the professors are also very supportive of students perusing those internships. Not just college but the university comes up with various internships as such being an assistant to the chancellor of the university.

Placement Experience

3.5

I personally plan to persuade my master's after my bachelor's degree in English literature. The highest package received in the placement drive is about 18 lacs per annum which is also mentioned in the prospectus of the college. Students may also visit the college's official website for more information.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fee for my course is around 10-13k per annum which is pretty affordable considering there are universities that charge more than 1L for the same course with less exposure. Students can also avail of multiple scholarships according to their merit. I personally haven't availed of any.

Campus Life

3.5

Since i am a student of English literature, the Department of English holds its annual literary fest called Madrigal every year in the month of February. There's a huge library for students and a neat reading space. Students can also issue sporting equipment and indulge themselves in sports while also perusing their education. There are multiple societies run by students including the literary society, gender society, women empowerment cell, photography society, theatre, etc.

Admission

The eligibility for my course and category was 90%. I am a student of B.A. English Honours and Dyal Singh is one of the best places you can pursue this course. The application was done online and I got a call for acceptance and verification and later the email. The college staff was cooperative when I faced some issues with my certificate.

Kamala Nehru College: Where Opportunity awaits

Likes

I really liked the environment of the college as there was a diverse set of students coming from across the country.
The faculty was top notch and was very dedicated and knowledgeable. If we faced any issue they would come up to help us deal with it.
Also i liked the infrastructure of the college as they recently added a new building and have improved a lot in sports equipments and facilities.

Dislikes

The admin section of the college is very slow and it is a hassle to deal with them. Half a time they are either on a break or on lunch.
There is sometimes non availability of chairs in classrooms like there are approx 40 chairs in each classroom but if the strength of the class is more then we have to borrow it from the next classroom.
Also you will have to take up some additional course which sometimes feel unnecessary but its not only in this particular college but in all the colleges under University of Delhi.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities are mainly for commerce stream departments but the humanities stream also are offered internship from the government ministries such as ministry of culture and Home ministry. There are many private companies that come to offer placements. The students from 3rd year in particular apply for internships. The highest package iffered is 500000 and the average is 250000. About 45% students get placements. My plan after getting the degree is to go for higher studies.

I liked the environment and the crowd of the college, and also my professors. Like seriously they are so helpful and kind
Also what I like about this college is that it's liberal unlike other colleges of North campus
I love the ashoka lawn and the big ground in front of the gym

Dislikes

I hate the staff, especially the technical staff ( Ankita Jain ), I went to her with erp portal issue and she just didn't look after my issue properly and sent me away. It was totally unexpected. She must be removed from her position.
The canteen staff, I didn't like their behaviour
Some of the seniors are shit and not helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate it 9 out of 10. The reason is simple, whatever my professors teach and everything that is there in my syllabus is really helpful for my future. Not just that, they way lectures are delivered by the professors is just awesome
