My Experience of Keshav Mahavidyalaya

I had applied to many universities such as Christ University, Ashoka University, and Ambedkar University as I was intent on pursuing psychology. I couldn't get through the first interview round at Ashoka University. At Christ University, I passed the first round which was done through sending recordings of me speaking on three different topics. I also passed the round for Ambedkar University. I had initially applied to these colleges as a backup plan if my 12th percentage wasn't up to the mark. However, I had scored 96.5% which made me eligible for Keshav Mahavaidyala College. I wanted to apply to Dehli University as it was affordable and it had a great reputation. I also read reviews about my college which were largely positive about the college having good facilities, placement opportunities, and a huge emphasis on extracurricular activities and character development.

I always had an interest in pursuing psychology and I had chosen the Humanities stream for the 11th and 12th standards. I wanted to pursue this course as it provided a really good understanding of the basic concepts which will be helpful in deciding the areas that I want to specialize in after graduation. Our faculty is highly specialized in their respective fields and are brilliant teachers. They teach using the coursebook as well as providing extensive knowledge and understanding through films and videos on the topics. They also grade us by assignments, attendance, and class presentations. There was some difficulty in conducting exams as the schedule was shifted because of the pandemic but the exams were conducted successfully. They were fairly easy to pass.

There are many internships opportunities given to us by the placement cell of our college. The internships are unpaid but they provide a great working experience. We also have a Student Community Group that provides us Internship Opportunities.

There is a great placement cell in our college where the staff is incredibly kind and considerate. They do the best they can to help us find great colleges to pursue post-graduation options. There is not a lot of scope for a job placement alone.

The fees structure of the BA Hons Psychology Course is 9.336 rupees per anum which are very affordable. There are concessions for Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes and Economically Weaker Sections. I am currently pursuing the course but we do have a great placement department that also offers internships in great companies and are very helpful while considering post-graduation options.

Because of the pandemic, we are currently studying online but there are annual fests and tech fests held. Keshav Mahavidyala College has ten students societies: Advaitaa ( dance), Illuminati ( Photography ), Maniera ( Fine Arts), Naksh ( fashion ), Nrityaang ( Indian Dance ), Shades ( theatre), Spic macay, Vagmita ( Poetry), Vagmita ( Debate). It also has the Rotaract Club of Ingenious Minds.
