Remarks
Kirorimal College is a very reputed institution, located in the North Campus of Delhi University. This provides the student great exposure and opportunities for their future. It is also known for its experienced and helpful faculty. I have already seen that the professors are really resourceful and reliable. Apart from that, its societies and fests are among the best in DU. Initially I had reservations regarding its infrastructure, because I had heard from seniors that it was a problem in the college. But the nourishing environment here makes up for it. The departments are very close knit, and you'll find that the seniors are really helpful. Delhi University released various cutoffs this year, many of which were quite high. KMC had a cutoff of 97.25%. As soon as I found that I qualified for it, KMC had come on my list of most preferred colleges, and I know that my decision to come here was not wrong.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose to study History honours because I want to pursue Archaeology in the future. Many student take this course for civil service exams, and others take it simply because they enjoy studying history. However, one has to be aware that this course requires a lot of reading and writing- it covers a vast expanse and thus we have to study accordingly. For those who are interested in history, the curriculum is very interesting and will definitely catch your attention. KMC conducts classes both in English and Hindi, so language will possibly not be an issue. While we have about 40 people in our class, it is divided in smaller groups of about 7 people, and we have separate tutorials every week where we can personally interact with the teacher and clear our doubts. We haven't had any exams yet, but our assignments are assessed and discussed personally, and the teachers are very helpful with solving doubts and the student's problems.
Placement Experience
The Placement Cell of KMC is very active, and you can start looking for Internships from the first year itself. The lowest package ever offered was 3.5LPA, while the highest was 20.5 LPA. About 30% students get placed from a program. Many reputed companies like American Express, Bajaj Capital, Capital First Ltd, Decathlon, Ernst & Young and ITC recruit from KMC. While the Placements are worth considering, I plan to pursue studies further before applying for a job.
College Events
KMC has an annual fest which is known throughout DU as one of the best. Apart from that, every society in KMC is very active, many of them really reputed and hard to get into. We have been attending classes online so far, but our seniors tell us that while sometimes the class infrastructure can be not up to standards, the campus is equipped with all sorts of amenities, Wi-Fi, etc. The labs and libraries are also very well equipped. There are open lawns and greenery for students to relax and socialise as well.
