Course Curriculum Overview
I really like my course. As a Geography honours student, we learn GIS software which is something I love and it's a new skill that we learn.Geography is more of conceptual subject and we not only learn theroy but also go for sessions wherein we learn how to apply our knowledge and know more about real life problems and solutions.
Internships Opportunities
Colleges offer different internships. The University also provides internships and holds Job melas. The Vice Chancellor Internship Scheme(Part time and Full time ) is the most famous one. This pays 5.5 k per month to part time interns and 10k per month to full time interns( summer interns) . Similarly, colleges also offer paid and non- paid internships.
Fees and Financial Aid
The yearly course fee is 17080. There are many scholarships and financial aid provided by both the college as well as the University. Most scholarships cover the yearly college fee. Criteria for each scholarship varies: family income, 12th marks , semester results etc.

The hostel mainly has 2 kinds of rooms: 2 people room and 4 people room. Almost 90% rooms are double occupancy. The room size is good enough. We also have Laundry wherein we can give 13 clothes per week. The mess food is nice.

There are no acs in the room but we do have Ac in study room. We also have common rooms where we can go and study. They remain open 24x7 . We also have wifi facility. The hostel is given on the first come first serve basis. They also look at 1. CUET scores 2. Home distance from the college There are reservations for PWD students, st/ sc, obc etc categories. Seats also depend on the department of the students. Only 3- 4 seats are offered for each department. There are many PGs and Hostels nearby which charge 10 to 20 thousand per month depending on the facilities provided and locality of the place.
Admission
I chose Miranda House. It was my first preference and i got in. The reason why I chose Miranda are as follows: 1. The hostel fee is affordable and low 2. It's a girls college and my parents wanted a safe environment for me. 3. It was ranked no. 1( NIRF ranking) 4. Also, it was only of the few college which offered Geography. I also applied for other colleges like Hindu College and St. Stephen's but Miranda was my first preference due to it's fee structure and the reasons mentioned above
Faculty
My department teachers are super nice , intelligent and have good knowledge of their subject except for few. Most young professors are like our friends , they help us even in our personal problems. Senior professors are more professional. Apart from my department, Physics and Mathematics department have very good faculty.
