What Students Say

Likes

Professors are good. While not all are best, many are still good. They’re well informed about about the subject and implement it in their teaching.
Great library. You can find many books/reading material you want for your studies.

Dislikes

Infrastructure sucks. Most fans don’t work and classrooms get very hot in summers. Benches are uncomfortable and even broken in many classrooms. For english, there’s no large enough dedicated room to contain 60-70 students.
Washrooms are in horrible condition. They need grave improvement from college.
Canteen tenures change often and you never know which canteen is fine and which is not. Sometimes it has been horrible other times it has been great.

Course Curriculum Overview

I was enrolled in the CBCS course which is more relevant as compared to NEP so I didn't have major problems. However, it would be much better if college allowed free choice while choosing DSE. University of Delhi has more about 10 options (give or take) but college offers only 4 that too in combinations and we have two choose from these 2 given options regardless of what other DSE options we might be interested in. We can't even change the subject combinations and are left with no choice but to study something we don't want to.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 9500 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Educational cost is minimal and affordable. Financial aids and scholarships are also there for underprivileged sections. Campus employments are negligible for my course. Most placements are for commerce fields.

Admission

Admission process was really smooth. Delhi university's website handled it all as i didnt appear for any entrance exams. I was sent an email from the college once i was enrolled and eventually the course started.

Faculty

3.5

Most faculty is well educated and takes efforts in teaching. They're also approachable and keen to help out the students in their learning. the student-teacher ratio isn't great. One professor for 60-70 students isn't right. Instead, they should make 2 sections wherein 35-40 students should have 1 professor.

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.

Overall best

Likes

My college was a girl's college. There are maximum 60students in a class. Prints were quite cheap in the college cafe.
There were many fest functions in my college. I also participated in the dance fest in my first year. We also used to go on picnics from college.
India's chief guest at the annual function was M Venkaiah Naidu.

Dislikes

College fees were very high for general category people.
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.

KMC in my words

Likes

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

An idiot's guide around college

Likes

environment of my college is far better than all the other colleges I have been to, there is zero to none chances of there ever being something unsafe on campus
maintenance of my college is taken very seriously, in only my 1st month of attending college ii saw precautions being taken due to heavy flooding in the college campus
accessibility is one of the things in my college that is so serious and provided with such care that it feels weird when outside campus no such accessibility is not to be seen

Dislikes

there is little to no room for giving students relaxibility in situations of difficulty during talks of giving a leave or not

Course Curriculum Overview:

philosophy as va discipline covers mostlt all the subjects related to humanities, it'll widen your knowledge and you thinking abillity more than that of a oridinary student, the job market is quite difficult for this course

Is Delhi University Worth it ?

Likes

In my college I like my course, my friends and the societies
The crowd of the colleges is also very nice
The campus is peaceful interesting and I love the college

Dislikes

I do not like the infrastructure of the college it needs to be renovated
I also don't like the classes which start from 8:40 thats to early for us
I personally feel that the college portal does not work properly but that's okay

Course Curriculum Overview:

Being brutally honest I don't think that the course contributes a lot to our preparation for the real world but it teaches us very new things which I like. The course might not be very helpful in our real life preparation or the preparation for the real world but at the same time it enhances our knowledge and teachers as about various new things so I am satisfied with my course and whatever the curriculum includes I like it

Reviewing hindu college delhi university

Likes

I like the campus as it is really big with canteens for students who don't bring food with them
Library access is what i love the most about the college as they have very peaceful environment also have a wide range of books.
Sports opportunities in here people who are actually interested in sports are provided with opportunities and skills it also have sports courts and playgrounds.

Dislikes

Timing of library it don't open on Saturday on which we have only 1-2 class with lot of gaps in between during which if a student want to study in library then its not possible.
Societies in colleges sometimes charges a lot of money in names of events and Society fund lack.
Groupism in classes due to family background and looks.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In term of relevance I'll say that there are many topics which should not be taught as they are way too old and contradicting in modern times. New tumes problems and solutions should be taught in replace focusing on present.

Teachers are knowledgeable and supportive. Most faculty members explain concepts clearly, encourage class participation and are approachable.
Syllabus is well-structured and is relevant to the industry reuqirements. It balances theoritical knowledge with practical exposure.

Dislikes

Size of the campus is relatively smaller to the main campus.

Placement Experience:

Final year students are generally placed with an average package of 7-8 lakhs for management programs. Companies including the big 4 like EY, KPMG, Deloitte and other reputed companies have visited and many offers have been made. Around 60% of the students get placed in management branch. After getting the degree, I am also planning to appear in the placement opportunities.
