What Students Say

Likes

First thing that I liked in DU is the atmosphere which I got for studies.
The seniors are quite friendly and supportive
The teaches are so supportive and helpful as they help us in academics as well as in our personal problems also

Dislikes

The most disliked thing in my college is the canteen food
The infrastructure is not that good as I expected
And the other important thing is that there is no hostel facility in our college

Course Curriculum Overview

I always had a great interest in political science so I had decided to continue it with my graduation. The faculty are well qualified, the have qualified UGC NET. The student teacher ratio is 1:55 I took admission in July 2023 and now my 1 semester exams are going on...it's not too difficult if you regularly take your classes and devote 2 hours of self study.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 15000 per year

Internships Opportunities

As I mentioned that I'm a political science student and also a fresher so I don't know about the placements and internship opportunities....and also there is no such opportunity for the humanities courses... But as much as I know is that there are several online courses offered to students regarding coding, freelancing etc..

Fees and Financial Aid

The few structure in BA political science Hons is 15000/- per year , as per my understanding I didn't got any scholarship opportunity even when I was the topper of my class this year. And regarding the on campus jobs there is no such opportunity for humanities courses..rather they prefer technical courses

Campus Life

2.5

Yeah! The life here in the Delhi University is quite amazing, you get interacted with different people having different culture and language, it's very interesting to know others and their culture. From the sports perspective the college is decent and their are different societies linked with different arts... I'm not too social so I'm not that much connected with people

Admission

A person must have studied till class 12. Details about the applications and related issues are provided in the university website. The result process takes long , so the session starts late and the burden of syllabus fell on the students....so the results should be declared as soon as possible.

Kamala Nehru College: Where Opportunity awaits

Likes

I really liked the environment of the college as there was a diverse set of students coming from across the country.
The faculty was top notch and was very dedicated and knowledgeable. If we faced any issue they would come up to help us deal with it.
Also i liked the infrastructure of the college as they recently added a new building and have improved a lot in sports equipments and facilities.

Dislikes

The admin section of the college is very slow and it is a hassle to deal with them. Half a time they are either on a break or on lunch.
There is sometimes non availability of chairs in classrooms like there are approx 40 chairs in each classroom but if the strength of the class is more then we have to borrow it from the next classroom.
Also you will have to take up some additional course which sometimes feel unnecessary but its not only in this particular college but in all the colleges under University of Delhi.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities are mainly for commerce stream departments but the humanities stream also are offered internship from the government ministries such as ministry of culture and Home ministry. There are many private companies that come to offer placements. The students from 3rd year in particular apply for internships. The highest package iffered is 500000 and the average is 250000. About 45% students get placements. My plan after getting the degree is to go for higher studies.

The behavior of many teachers was quite rude and arrogant as if they were teaching us for free.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I wanted to do PhD in Political Science but due to percentage I took up BA program. Teachers used to provide notes but mostly I used to be off. There was nothing wrong with the college. Exam timings were good.

Likes

I liked the environment and the crowd of the college, and also my professors. Like seriously they are so helpful and kind
Also what I like about this college is that it's liberal unlike other colleges of North campus
I love the ashoka lawn and the big ground in front of the gym

Dislikes

I hate the staff, especially the technical staff ( Ankita Jain ), I went to her with erp portal issue and she just didn't look after my issue properly and sent me away. It was totally unexpected. She must be removed from her position.
The canteen staff, I didn't like their behaviour
Some of the seniors are shit and not helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

I would rate it 9 out of 10. The reason is simple, whatever my professors teach and everything that is there in my syllabus is really helpful for my future. Not just that, they way lectures are delivered by the professors is just awesome

As a future law student philosophy was one of the options which was good to opt. Secondly, comparatively less people opt it and it can be one of the better choices if you are preparing for upsc and taking it as an optional. Teaching can be made more interactive as the topics are really interesting

Labs and libraries are not so good. And there are stray dogs who often steps into classes and make us afraid. College is not fully air conditioned but is on processing.

Arsd - Star of south campus

I was made to prepare a list of colleges that provided the course that I opted for. So I made a list of all thr college in accordance to my convenience and what I wished to get into. My first priority was obviously a north campus college such as hindu college, kirori mal, hansraj and likewise. Then I proceeded to add the rest of the topmost colleges that came under south campus. I somehow got the chance to give it a try for JMC too as it also provides 50% of its seats to christian minorties but I wasn't really looking forward to get into an all girls college for some reason, so I left it then and there....Read More

My CUET Score was 724/800 and I was allotted Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College in the first round. The admission process did not take longer than 15 minutes. I had to take my 10th, 12th Marksheet along with my Aadhar card, Transfer Certificate and CUET Application to the Admin office and that was it. There are many benefits if one belongs the to the reservation category such as more scholarships and schemes, lower cut-off for admission etc. All the information related to application form, fees and dates are provided on your CUET Portal....Read More
