The geography department at Kamala Nehru College is praised for its supportive faculty who assist students with their queries. The college conducts one moderately difficult exam per semester, with most students passing successfully. The annual fee for arts and humanities subjects is currently Rs 9900, though it varies throughout the three-year course. The college's Placement Cell, named PROSPICO and established in 2006, actively facilitates job opportunities, with companies like EY, Wipro, Google Adwords, and KPMG offering packages ranging from 3-3.5 lakh.
Students also have access to internships from companies such as MTV, Cashkaro, and Smartican, with stipends of Rs 1.5-2 lakh per annum. The first year of the internship program was notably successful, attracting over 30 companies. Major recruiters like Yes Foundation and Decathlon offer the highest stipends, with Gobarefoot following closely. Scholarships, mainly based on merit and reserved categories, are available, including the PMSSS for students from J&K and Ladakh with a family income of up to 8 lakh INR per year.
The college charges around 15,000 INR per semester for tuition and other expenses but lacks hostel facilities, increasing students' living costs. There is a noted lack of awareness regarding available scholarships, partly due to inadequate information dissemination, and some banks offer loans as an alternative financial aid option.
