What Students Say

Likes

The teachers who teach us are great. Highly qualified individuals who are also great at teaching
A lot of the students on campus are nice and friendly. I have friends across many different courses.
The societies of our college also provide a great experience for anybody who's looking for some opportunities outside of studies.

Course Curriculum Overview

I specifically chose Economics and history to study because I had an interest in both. Economics is pretty self explanatory, learning about how the world economy works is interesting. History on the other hand is interesting because you get to know how civilization and society developed.

Class Size: 44Course Fees: INR 14000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Yearly I've paid around 14000. I've paid that as a general category student. My classmates also pay about the same amount but it could vary depending upon the category they applied in. Scholarships are available. Especially for those who excell at studies.

Campus Life

The annual fest of Deshbandhu college, which is Sabhrang, happens in February of each year. It always has big hype around it as the college gets ready for a real party. Clubs and societies also hold their annual fests such as E-Summit from Fiontrai, which is the entrepreneurship cell of the college. These events happen every year and the hype behind them is real.

Admission

Deshbandhu college has a nice reputation. Being the 13th Ranked college in the whole country (by NIRF ranking) is a big deal. It also being in South Delhi was a big part of my decision. Admission process for Deshbandhu college is the CUET UG exam like many other colleges in India.

Faculty

The faculty members are great. All of them are highly qualified and the way they teach is amazing. For me, I really liked Miss Yogita. She was very intelligent and she also is a great teacher. The exams are pretty easy if you study for them.

Night Life

Nightlife around Deshbandhu college is decent. It's just next to Krishna Market so there are a lot of places to eat. People mostly spend most of their social time near the cafeteria in the college. This area of Kalkaji is also pretty safe to roam around at nights.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
