Tushar Jain's Review On Kirori Mal College - [KMC], New Delhi

There is no particular entrance examination for the admission to this college. The college accepts admission on the basis of cut-off marks of the Senior Secondary Examination of CBSE or equivalent. I scored 96.5% marks in Class XIIth CBSE board exams and thus got admission in this college. The reasons for the particularity of the college are the quality of faculty of the college and the peer reviews.

Talking about course structure, college allows a proper exposure to practical knowledge along with the text in books. There are times when college undertakes research workshops or endorses willing and able students to the research workshops off-campus. To say in few words, the college has almost a perfect blend of text, practical and research works which are supported by research papers.

The college provides opportunities for internships via AVENUES - THE PLACEMENT CELL. Listing some of the many companies visited campus for internships, v.i.z, Inshorts, Testament, Eventila, Adurcup, CampK12, Mentor. Yes, Deal Baskets Pvt. Ltd., Deals Right Now, Spoon DU etc.

As mentioned earlier, the college has a placement cell, popular as AVENUES and all the placements in the college are managed through this. To be precise, about 80% of the candidates, who are willing to be placed, are placed. Mentioning some of the recent placement company visits to the campus.

Talking of events in the college, the months of September, January and February are apparently fixed for these events as September is the home of more than a dozen of fresher's party of different departments and the credit for mid-January, February and mid-March goes to the Festivals. About twice a dozen festivals are celebrated which features special events from different departments on their respective festivals.

Fee structure is very very very feasible. Annual fee ranges from INR 6000-11000 for an year, which is apparently less than INR 1000 per month and that too for so so so many facilities. Also, the students from the categories namely scheduled castes and Scheduled Tribes can claim a refund of their fees if they can't afford that much expense.

These are no as such facilities of loan availability but the college do provide and endorse the scholarships provided by various departments of the government. I am pretty much sure about the INSPIRE scholarship given by Department of Science and Technology.

Hostel Facilities are not that much good and the mess in hotel is just bearable. However, over a period of last 2-3 years, such facilities are drastically improved. Hostels, on an average costs INR 50000 for the year including all expenses. If students want to reside in PGs. They may have to bear around INR 130000-200000 per annum.

For examination, Semester system is followed. Exams are conducted twice a year and with a decent number of holidays in between. Students are chilled out as the exams are not that tough. Practical and Lab Exams are conducted firstly and after a gap of a week or two, theory exams are held.

The college accepts admission on the basis of cut-off marks of the Senior Secondary Examination of CBSE or equivalent. For this, college declares cut-off lists of various courses and categories of candidates and the candidate which are eligible under that cut-off are given 3-4 working days to get themselves admitted to the college.

To teach a particular course, the teacher must be well qualified and competent. The teacher must hold a bachelor and masters degree in that specific discipline. The teacher must also be holding the doctrate degree of that particular discipline or must be pursuing such degree at the time he is teaching.
