KMC and beyond

The course is relevant, especially for those who are looking to target the IIT-JAM. It provides a great platform, and every year, 8-10 people make it to the top IITs. For people looking for placements, the opportunities are decent, but you will have to work hard, maintain and strong CGPA, and try to do some internships as well. Some courses like R programming, probability and statistics, Mathematical Finance, Differential equations, Calculus are very useful for people who are targeting analyst kind of roles.

The internship opportunities are ample, especially in the Delhi-NCR region. Many big brands like Zomato frequently hire, and there are many other startups that provide great roles and opportunities. The placement committee also organises "LEVITATE" which is an annual internship fair event.

The placement process starts after the summer vacations are over. At the start of the 5th semester, you will see many big brands like LEK, ZS, and DE Shaw visiting the college. For maths, the opportunities are there, and you will get shortlists for analyst and data science focused roles. If you have built a good resume through relevant internships, you will stand a great chance of getting a 10LPA job easily.

The total fees for the college vary from course to course, but to give a ballpark figure, the range will be 40k to 45k. Many need-based scholarships are available for students coming from an economically weaker section. For merit-based scholarship, many of my colleagues received the "INSPIRE" scholarship.

The infrastructure is appropriate, you will get all the amenities. The clubs and committees are very active, and fests are very frequent, which will enhance your overall experience. The cultural events and sports activities add to the experience.

I always wanted to pursue my undergraduate in mathematics, and Kirori Mal College is a great place for people like me, primarily because of the legacy, faculty, opportunities, and exposure. The admission process is fairly simple, and you just need to perform well in the CUET-UG exam.

The faculty members at KMC are very cordial and bring the best out of their students. The conversations that happen in classrooms are not just limited to the subject; more often, they are about experiences and life, which fosters all-around development. The batch size is limited, and there are two sections in that as well that allow for a great faculty-to-student ratio. My favourite teachers include SP Tripathi sir, Stanzin Dorjai sir, Kavita mam, and Dinesh Khattar sir because of their command over their respective subjects and just how approachable they were. The exams are on the moderate level, you need to the regular with the course, and it's slightly rigorous but not in a way that you won't get time for other activities. If you maintain touch with the subjects, then I have hardly seen anyone failing in the exams.

There are very few hostel seats, so getting into a hostel is very difficult; you will most likely live in a PG or flat around the north campus, like most students. The gym facility is where many people join, the Canteen is okayish, but the library is a very nice space. Kamla Nagar is a famous market situated at the back gate of the college, and the campus timings are generally from 8 AM to 5 PM.
