Average infrastructure, difficult course

An admission portal was curated by DU (link available on their website). We were supposed to register to create our accounts on the portal. Then as per the cutoffs, we were supposed to apply to different colleges and upload relevant documents. With the introduction of NEP, the admission process has changed. CUET has been introduced for admission to DU.

I chose this course because of the growing job opportunities in Data Science. Statistics are required everywhere. It is an undying field. The faculty is decent. All teachers have PhDs but not every teacher teaches well. I can't speak for other courses but statistics is a difficult course and it was difficult to pass offline exams. There are too many internal and practical exams that are closely packed.

Big four companies recruit from KMC. The position offered in my course is that of a data analyst. To be honest in most courses like mathematics Hons, economics Hons, and statistics hons- most jobs are for data analysts only. Internship opportunities range from 1-10k per month offering positions like social media marketing, data analysis, something with excel, etc.

The placement cell of KMC is very active. You get internship opportunities pretty much every day. Big four companies hire from KMC as well. Everything is well organized by the placement cell and you'll be assisted very well. On average, placements range from 6-8LPA.

Studying at DU is cheaper than at private universities. Value for money. You don't have to pay a lot and you enjoy the prestige. My course fees were about 15k per year. This is cheaper compared to private universities which cost over 1L per semester.

Having spent the first semester online, I am unaware of the annual fests of DU as of now. Societies in KMC are very active. KMC is known for its co-curricular activities so if you're an ECA student, the college might be a good fit for you. The infrastructure is not great. Computers in labs are broken or not working which poses a problem during practical's. Teachers are forced to take classes online.
