Course Curriculum Overview
I always had an interest in politics, hence my decision to choose this course. The subjects are interesting for example international relations, public administration, etc. However the teaching methods and equipment is not suitable for todays technological world. Smart boards can be installed in classrooms for virtual learning through ppts, videos.
Internships Opportunities
The college does not provide internship opportunities in the first year as far as i know. However there are different seminars and discussions organised which might help the students in getting to know more about the internship opportunities around.
Placement Experience
I donot have much information about the placement process. But the average package offered in my course is 7 lakh per annum. My plan is to pursue masters in international relations after completing my graduation and then working in the private sector.
Fees and Financial Aid
Course fees for BA political science hons at Kirori Mal College, DU is 15000 per annum. This is excluding the examination or hostel fee. Examination fees for my course is rs 200 for each subject. The college has different scholarships for students who meet a certain CGPA criteria.
Campus Life
The campus life of KMC is really good. There is always an event happening in college. There are various societies and clubs; educational and for fun. For example, there is La politique which is the political science society, Bhoomi which is the eco club etc. The annual fest of KMC, Renaissance happens in April every year.
Admission
My preference was Hindu college, Lady shri ram college over Kirori Mal College, DU. I preferred both those colleges over mine because the faculty, campus life and placements of those are better. However i was unable to get into them due to not meeting the cut off in the CUET examination. Cuet is the common university entrance test which is an mcq based paper. The cut off for Kirori Mal College was 776 while Hindu's was 794 and LSR's was 782.
Faculty
There are around 40 students in each class in my department. There are two sections for each year and there are around 12 professors in political science department. The professors are well versed with their subjects however their teaching methods are quite outdated. There is only one exam held at the end of each semester. The questions are rather easy and repeated from pyqs.
Night Life
The campus area around the college is really happening. There is a huge market which is set up everyday right outside the doors. Theres food stalls, shopping centres, cafes everywhere. There are many pgs also available in the area. The college campus is open from 6 am to 8 pm.
