Our curriculum includes fundamental topics like Real analysis, Algebra, Probability, Linear Programming etc. Although the course could incorporate more practical, industry relevant content like Python, R. Internal assessments are conducted throughout the term and exams are held at the end of each semester. They are fair if you continue to study consistently but they are moderately difficult.

Some better marks in physics could have gotten me the top 3 colleges of DU but I am still satisfied with KMC. The admission is strictly on CUET scores and the other reserved categories in which cutoffs are made.

The faculty is generally well qualified, experienced and supportive.
