There are many opportunities for internships and placements and the teacher also helps you to get placements so here you get a lot of benefits and about placements, you have heard from seniors the package is from 1 lakh to 7 lakhs.

Fees and Financial Aid

Delhi University is a government university so it has affordable fees. The total fees are approx 11000 to 12000 per year. It has a lot of scholarships for students who deserve these opportunities and opportunities for economically weaker students.

Campus Life

There are many fests in the college and you can also join another college fest with DU IDs. Approx. every book is available in the library. The facilities are good enough. For sports, there are a football team and a kabbadi team.

Admission

The eligibility is you should pass in the 12th I was given an entrance cuet in 2023. It was conducted by the National Testing Agency. There are benefits of quotas in every course. The timing was of 3 hours and the difficulty was medium if you are good in 12th it would be easy for you.

Faculty

The faculty is very well educated many of our teachers have achieved a lot of things on behalf of education. Teachers try more to be practical either to be theoretical. Teachers are available you can approach them through mobile or go to the staff room.

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.

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
