What Students Say
Likes
- The infrastructure: it is of the British style as the foundation stone was laid by the Britishers in the next year of the country's independence. Hence, it has a beautiful and very precisely defined roman style structure.
- The opportunities that students get from the societies and clubs is overwhelming in a positive way. Students learn a lot in their college all around the three or the four years.
- The hostel accommodation is one of the best parts of the college. Students who get the hostel have a 24/7 availability to the hostel lawns and till 10pm, they have the availability of the campus area. There is no curfew in the Miranda Hostel.
Dislikes
- The faculty: Though, most of the professors are extremely kind and generous, there are still other professors who are not as friendly or helping.
- The washrooms of the college could be better.
- The timings of the college I.e. from 8:30am to 5:pm, 6 days a week is extremely overwhelming for the students. It should be more flexible.
Course Curriculum Overview
The major reason which intrigued me in selecting this course I.e. BA Program (Multidisciplinary) is because it provides versatility to the students. Majoring in Political Science and minoring in History, I have realised that choosing this course was definable the best decision I have made for myself. The areas of improvement are still there regardless of the fact that there are mainly only positive aspects of this course in my experience. The fact that this course has a very wide syllabus makes it very hectic for students to grasp each and every single information. Hence, the volume of the syllabus should be reduced to a certain extent. The teaching methods are mainly in the form of classroom type teacher-to-student.
Internships Opportunities
The internship opportunities are available to the students of the second and the consecutive years. I am from the first year so, we do not get the internship opportunities. But, as for what I have heard from my seniors, the internships are varied in the type of field. Hence, students belonging from any background (humanities, Sciences or Commerce) can get the internship opportunity.
Placement Experience
From the second semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Several companies like Boat, TATA, Reliance etc. offer internships to students. The highest average package goes up till 9LPA.
Fees and Financial Aid
The BA program fees is 15460 yearly and the fees for accomodation (hostel) is 32190 for the first semester and 26000 for the second semester. There is some difference in the fees between the general and the category students (SC,ST, OBC and EWS) but it is now huge. Financial aids and scholarships are provided for the students belonging from EWS category.
Campus Life
Currently, in the month of February, the fest of BAP department is going to be held on 18th of February specifically (the name of the fest is called Exuberance). Other than this, the fest of every department and society is held between February and May. The main fest of the college called the 'Tempest' is held in April The sports facilities of the college are good other than the fact that we do not have a huge ground in the college. There is a Lawn Tennis court, a volleyball court, an amazing basketball court etc. There are numerous societies of the college like the Hindi dramatics society (called Anukriti), the western music society (Orpheus), the film society (Celluloid), the fine art society (Adwitya), the fashion crew, the environment society (MH Vatavaran) etc.
Hostel Facilities
The hostel facilities, according to the fees we hostellers pay are more than enough. We have a spacious room with two bedrooms,(some having four bedrooms: these are alloted to the students who come late to avail the hostel facilities) a pantry for students to fill their bottles or cook some food or wash the dishes along with a refrigerator, the rooms are attached with a balcony. The fees of the hostel for BA Program students for the first semester is around ?32,000/- and for the second semester, it is around ?26,000/-. In order to register for the hostel, one has to go to the link of Miranda House and then, she can find the option to register for the hostel. There are several PGs in North campus. The main areas for these being, Vijaynagar and Kamla Nagar.
Admission
The best part of the whole CURT experience is that Miranda House and the course BA Programme, both were my first preferences and fortunately, I got both of my first preferences. I chose Miranda over the other colleges for several reasons. First, it has a very vibrant and diverse community of students. Second, the course which I wanted was available in this college. Third, the peaceful and the beautiful environment also attracted me to keep the college on the top of the list. Fourth, I wanted to have an experience of an all girls college after being a student of co-ed college my entire life. The eligibility criteria for the college is to be a 12th grade pass out and to appear for the Central University Entrance Test (CUET) with the subjects studied specifically in the 12th grade.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is around 1:200 (considering all the departments though, the figure can differ from one department to another). Most of the professors are extremely amiable and well read in their particular field of study. The exams are held on the ending of a semester. This means that there are no mid semester exams. The pattern of the exam is pretty easy. Thus, almost every student can pass the exam but, exceptionally a very few number of students can fail as well if their performance is extremely low.
Night Life
The favourite hang out spots for Mirandans are endless. Be it the Principal's Lawns or the Hostel Lawns. Each and every single corner of the college is a unique in it's own way. Outside the college, there is the famous spot where everyone goes for having tea or print their readings called Patel Chest! Other than that, we also have the famous'Tom Incle' outside the 2nd gate of our college who serves amazing dishes, the most famous being 'Tom uncle ki Maggi'.
