Pallabi Talukdar's Review On Kamala Nehru College - [KNC], New Delhi

The college is very strict when it comes to attendance issues and the teachers make sure that they take all of the classes. Incase they miss out on any class, they always make sure that they take extra classes to cover up what's lost. They circulate appropriate material for studying during the exams and guide the students well before they sit for a particular paper. The library is two floored and well stocked. The canteen is good.

I passed the 12th standard CBSE board examinations with a 92.75℅ (best of four) and I opted for Kamala Nehru college because I knew how the teachers here had so much passion for their respective subjects and made it a point not to miss classes. This kind of an environment is needed for students to excel in their future careers.

The course structure has become more strenuous, as the current batch has to appear for five papers(including the elective subject) instead of the previously three papers (one core paper has been divided into two). There are three core papers in our course, one elective (we can choose any subject paper apart from our core subject) and one Skill Enhancing paper.

Our college doesn't provide internships on their own, as far as I am aware. Different internship programme banners are put in the college for anyone interested.

Placement and job opportunities are plenty, as heard from the seniors. The student at kamala Nehru college are extremely bright and able, and take great enthusiasm and interest in applying for internships and this work experience gives them an edge over the others. Each internship may fetch them an amount anywhere between 5000-15000.

Our college celebrates Kamala Nehru day, where the focus is on Mrs. Kamala Nehru and how she was a valiant 'freedom fighter's in her own right. Independence day is celebrated with the hoisting of our national flag, dancing, singing and a march past by our NCC team. Diwali Mela is put up at our college a week before we break for the diwali break. Also, thirdas are allotted as swatch Bharat abhiyan day where the college volunteers clean the premises.

The fees are affordable (different from course to course, ranging from 6000-10000) per year. There are also scholarships and fee relaxations provided, once the respective offices are referred to.

There are scholarships and fee reductions provided by the college.

Our college is a woman's college and we are about 3000 students in total. People from all economic, social, sexuality and religious backgrounds are a part of our college and I have never seen any kind of discrimination happening on the basis of the above. Our college has many department or societies to help the minorities our, incase they do face any discomfort or injustice. There is a help desk for the Northeast students, a society for the equal treatment of women and they are fully functional and vigilant.

I am not a part of the hostel. The canteen at our college is regarded as one of the best canteens in the whole of Delhi University. It serves good, wholesome food at meagre prices. It serves rice, rajma, chana, sprouts, pasta, dosa, idli, chowmein, coke, water, coffee, pastries, etc. at 6-50 rupees.

Seniors are helpful and are easy to talk to. I have seen students who have passed out from the college, come specially to meet the teachers and how they help each other out in the time of need.

Every semester, there are at least two internal examination (more if the students don't score well, to allow them to score higher) which is a test of 10 marks each. 5 marks are for attendance and the theory papers (semester examination) fetch the students 75 marks. This paper happens during November and March, while the internals take place tentatively around August.

Most of the teachers have at least a decade or more experience of teaching and our teachers especially our department teachers take criticism in a positive light and work on them to make the learning experience better for us. The professors are capable of teaching both in English and Hindi, which is extremely helpful.
