Pallavi Sharma's Review On Miranda House, New Delhi

It didn't require an entrance exam. It was based on 12th standard board score. I had 87%. This college I had rightly heard was one of the best colleges in the University, especially for Science courses.

Course curriculum was accommodative. There were assignments, tests, presentations to supplement core examination. There was a perfect balance of theory and practical. We were encouraged to work extensively in lab. We had a course called Environmental Chemistry in First year. In second year we had to choose between Computer Science or Commerce.

It wasn't a technical course offering college like Engineering or medical but still it had some of the companies like Google, Yahoo, some pharmaceutical companies too to hire us based on examinations and interviews. Packages I don't exactly remember.

College fest 'Tempest' is worth mentioning. The 3-day phenomenon sees celebrities, an outstanding crowd and a lot of vigour. There are fests for each department. We hold lot of cultural as well as department related competitions respectively. They give you not only victory but fame too if you nail them.

Very feasible, For my course, Chemistry honours - It was approximately 10,000 a year. It included tuition fee, developments charge etc that included charge to buy chemicals and apparatuses to let us learn our subject. For art courses it was even less.

There was a Baseline Scholarship test for science students. You need to clear a test to avail the scholarship. There are many more.

It now follows semester system pattern like every college in the University of Delhi. There are practical exams followed by theory every six-years now. Practical exams took 5 hours a day. It was hectic but fun. There were three practical exams for three subjects one in three days. Theory exams used to follow after good 10-15 days.

That time a centralised form was released for all colleges of Delhi University. After filling that form a cutoff list was released that told which college had set what percentage as their cutoff for admission to different courses. Then you need to go in the college of your choice, procure a form from the administration, fill it up, and then follow the procedure.

Overall it was very good. They tried their best to make us understand the concept in a better way. They used chalk and board, powerpoint, 3-D images of molecules and what not. Teachers used to take extra classes at the expense of their good leisure times. We had made good notes all our college life, all thanks to our teachers.
