MLNCE - Average but Enjoyable

The curriculum is deep but also highly outdated. The recent shift to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework has definitely added new things. The new SEC VAC combinations that the college gives for courses are absolutely useless and we are forced to study them anyway, even if we didn't choose them. Interestingly specifically in Bcom, students aren't given an option to choose their SEC VAC subject at a. And more importantly, these SEC VAC subjects are taught in the same old rigid and rote manner and add absolutely ZERO to anything of learning to the students. They do nothing except add more burden to study things you don't even chose and now are forced to. Exams are held twice each year in Dec-Jan and May-June. The exams are easy to moderate level. But the duration of semesters is definitely something very inconsistent which leads to last minute rush for assignment and presentation submissions and a spike in stress.

Internships at the college are managed through the Placement Cell, which actively posts opportunities on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram. Like they recently posted an internship opportunity of Aspire Consultants for Marketing + HR ans Marketing + Finance job wirh stipend up to ?15,000 (performance-based).

The placement in Motilal Nehru College (Evening) is decent and is led mainly by the Placement Cell. Though inactive earlier, the placement cell has become significantly more active recently, bringing in more internship and job opportunities. Students become eligible for placements during 3rd year. In a good placement season, companies like Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, EY come for Audit, Taxation, Risk Advisory, HR jobs. Other companies like DE Shaw & Co, Accenture, Capital IQ also come during job fairs. Earlier, Wipro, TCS, Amazon, Flipkart have also recruited from the college mainly for Sales, Business Development, Operations jobs. Highest on-campus package is ?18.7 LPA and rhe average package is ?3.6-4.5 LPA. Approximately 40% to 50% of students who participate in the process secure placements. My plan is to get into freelancing after college.

The fees is lump sum around ?10,000-13,000 for each year for three years. The fees includes the fees of practicals, committees and security. Scholarship is provided by the DU Central office not by the college itself.

The college has a big campus which is shared with the morning shift. It has a large cricket ground and greenery. However, some buildings are older and need maintenance like washrooms and canteen seating to be improved. Most classrooms are basic but functional. Some have projectors and smart boards, many still rely on traditional chalkboards. Wi-Fi is available but doesn't work in certain blocks.. During the fest season, Milan the annual fest takes place. The college also recently conducted a 'Diwali Mela' during November 2025. Each department and society has its own mini-fest. Like Perspectica for English, Pratibimb for History. Societies are the life of the campus. Without societies, Mlnce would have almost zero social atmosphere. Library is well maintained but is EXTREMELY TINY compared to the library of Motilal Morning. Students of Motilal Evening are not allowed to enter the morning library. The campus has a large football/cricket ground, a basketball court, and indoor facilities for table tennis and carrom. The NCC and NSS units are very active, offering students chances to participate in Republic Day parades and social service camps, which adds significant value to their CVs.

Besides this college and DU, I had applied to Allahabad University, Banaras Hindu University and the University of Lucknow. I got admission in all of them. But I chose to attend this college solely for the Delhi University tag. The admission process for this college is the CUET. After CUET results, you have to register through Delhi University's CSAS portal and make a preference list of colleges. Cutoffs to get into the college depend upon course to course. For the course im doing - B.com (Program), the cutoff was 713-717 for Unreserved Category, 571-577 for OBC category, 463-474 for SC category and 86-103 for ST category. The overall admission experience is highly stressful and confusing.

The faculty-to-student ratio is approximately 1:55. Students-teacher relationship in MLNCE is mixed depending entirety upon the teacher. Some are friendly and supportive, while some might not be that friendly. But many professors do provide life advice alongside academic guidance if you ask them. Th faculties I liked were Ankit Sir of business mathematics, Varun Narang sir of Financial Management and Somwati Mam for business laws. There are typically two exams per year (semester wise). One in Dec-Jan and the other in May-June. Exams are generally pretty easy to moderate. Most students pass (roughly 80-90%), but some specific papers like Corporate Accounting and Business Statistics are definitely more harder.

The campus doesn't have any "nightlife" per say, because the college closes around 8:00-8:30 pm and students are not allowed inside after that time. But during late evenings, Canteen is a popular hotspot to hangout. The locality is generally safe to roam around at night.
