Some things that you may want to know about Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi

The course curriculum is just like any other college, and you need to do a lot of the skill enhancement by yourself. Here, you will learn something, but not everything that is relevant. The professors will teach according to the syllabus, be it really relevant in real life or not. Everything that you will be learning will be relevant for career in this field, but not enough. You require to put some extra efforts to gain more knowledge and practice.

For my course, the fees for 1st year is 17115 INR. This may increase in subsequent years, seeing the previous trends. However there are financial assistance plans for eligible students such as fee waivers, scholarships,etc.

Talking about DU campus life, it is different for different people. you should not rely on someone's opinions to form yours. Some people find it good , having good oppurtunities for growth, while others may find it to be worst. Some people even get into wrong things like developing bad habits like smoking and all....but its not a complete picture of it. In our college, there is a lot of diversity, be it departments, faculty, students, or clubs and societies. You will find people of each kind. Its up to you who you choose to be with. There are a lot of things happening in our college. you may not be knowing about every thing thats going on. same applies for me as well. I don't know about all the things. The infrastructure is not so good, we can't deny this fact. The societies are also very different and cater to different needs. Notable ones are NSS, NCC, Enactus, CISE,, and many more.

So, talking about why i chose this college.....I was sure that i want to do a course in statistics in DU...but i wasn't well aware of which college is best. Referring from the internet, i picked a few of north campus colleges from which i got one. So i did not have any such preference of a particular college, and luckily i got a decent one. In my opinion, if you are really passionate about this subject and want to be completely into this only subject, i would reccomend you to try for ISI.However , if you want to explore other options as well, just like me, you can choose DU. For ISI you will need to prepare very well.

So talking about my course,Statistics, our faculty is quite good. Since I haven't experienced other faculty, I can't compare ours with them, but good enough. Since I was not expecting much, I found them to be really well and friendly. They also take regular classes. Talking about our course structure, in every semester, we have 3 core subjects, which are major subjects under our particular course. And then we have another subject, General Elective, which has equal weightage as core ones but its choice is up to you, you can choose any course of your interset, evn if its not related to your major. Apart from these we have 3 other subjects carrying slightly less weightage and can be managed easily. That's it. As for the marking scheme, I don't know much about it as our answer sheets are not checked by our professors. But the marks for internal assessment are given by our professors which is not so hard to get if you are a decent student. Till now, I did not find my course to be very tough and it was quite manageable with other activities as well. For the upcoming semesters, I can't say anything....

There most famous place, Sudama Tea Stall, is just a few steps away from the hostel gate of our college. From the college back gate , you can easily enter kamla nagar where you can explore a lot of places- malls, restaurants, cafes, shops etc. Kamala nagar is quite famous market place in delhi known for its affordability.
