What Students Say

Likes

Best Infrastructure among different DU Colleges
Meta-College concept in terms of Interdisciplinary Studies.
Well established Faculty with high experiences in their fields.

Dislikes

A very small Canteen with very average food.
No societies or clubs have taken place since its inception.
No placement cell with whatsoever guidance from mentors about job roles.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose this course because it really fascinates me like how it provides meta-college concepts in such cases where education seems mediocre. The faculty-student ratio is 1:35. The faculty is well qualified as well. And the best thing is the exams always happen in accordance with DU's guidelines.

Class Size: 45Course Fees: INR 13000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees hike policy and cost to study always depends on DU's inter-guidelines, though it remains under 15K. Furthermore, No Scholarship, Financial Assistance & Job has been provided on campus with a stipend which should surely be a topic of debate.

Campus Life

Annual fest & Tech fest is available in DU CIC, so obviously. Infrastructure is literally world-class in comparison to other colleges of DU, while we also have a digital lab. College is doing well recently in sports and extracurricular activities but still has to go far in terms of these aspects.

Admission

- Eligibility comprises CUCET entrance exam clearance with the addition of prescribed subjects that have been notified under 10+2/12th. - One can easily find entrance details on NTA site. - Reservation benefits includes lesser cutt offs. - More improvements can be done by optimizing server issues.

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.

The behavior of many teachers was quite rude and arrogant as if they were teaching us for free.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I wanted to do PhD in Political Science but due to percentage I took up BA program. Teachers used to provide notes but mostly I used to be off. There was nothing wrong with the college. Exam timings were good.

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

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
