North Campus - Things no one talks about.
Likes
- The teaching staff of the college is very good. You can interact with teachers as if they are your friends. Teaching methods of some teachers are so unique in a good way that you can't even imagine. Teachers clear all the doubts students have & more.
- The crowd of Kirorimal College Delhi University is really good. It has students from all over the country and some of the foreign students also who came here for the advanced learning which they couldn't find in their country. I made my friends here.
- The vibe of the college is very chill. Like there's never much noise except when it's election season. The students in college are so friendly. In our class only we have a group and the name of that group is bhaichara which means brotherhood.
- The ground and the gym is also very good. Playing cricket with your friends in that KMC ground feels very good and at the same time the athletics scene is pretty good. Moreover the feeling of working out at a college gym after classes hits different
Dislikes
- The infrastructure of the college is not very great. Sometimes there is no water in the water cooler. There's no auditorium since many years. And whenever there are dusu elections there's just too much of the noice and disturbance.
- The hostel capacity is very less. There's not hostel for girls and even for boys the rooms are very less. Majority of the people who come from outside of New Delhi has to live in some overpriced pg or a flat. And the rooms in hostel has not ac.
- The canteen food is bad. It's cheap because of the university guidelines but sometimes it just tastes bad and not eatable. The canteen is very small too. There's not even space of 100 students which creates ruckus at times in the canteen.
Remarks :
The admission process is very elaborate. First one have to take the CUET exam which is organised by National testing agency every year. Then after the result the admission process begins. After filling out your details and providing with the necessary documents the second step begins which involves preparing a preference list. This is the most important step in the process. Then the cutoffs gets out for different categories. Cutoff for general category is always the highest as it is the non reserved category. Then there are multiple rounds for admission ( generally 3-4) after that one college is allotted then we have to submit the necessary documents. If one has opted for any reservation benefits then they have to submit the caste certificate or the necessary documentation as a proof that they belong to a certain category. After the documents gets verified the admission process is over. The students is part of the institution. The admission process is usually same for all DU college.
Course Curriculum Overview :
My course is B.A. (Hons.) Economics. The curriculum seems pretty outdated to me. I don't think it's really relevant in today's day and age but yet the basics are the same. The theories are the same. I feel more focus should be on practical training. For example sometimes the professors give meaningless assignments which has not relevance. In place of that they can provide the assignment which will have some real world implications and make a person job ready. The exams for economics are pretty hard as compared to other courses. The average cgpa is also low as compared to most of the courses. Changes in curriculum can have postive changes in the moral of a student. While selecting the course it's not clear what can we expect from the course. I feel that a student should have full idea of what the course is all about while selecting a college course because it will be with you for you whole life. The university need to update their curriculum and the maine focus should be on practicals.
Internships Opportunities :
College doesn't provide intership opportunities at all. If someone wants to do any internship they have to find it on their own and it gets very hard to land a good intership at times as they require skilled personnel and because of the outdated curriculum students have no skills whatsoever. Some teachers give good projects which help the student gain some real world skill and enhance their resume. Other than that societies play a vital role in providing interships and real world experiences to the students. Societies help students to learn how the real world functions and what is expected out of you as an employee. This experience comes handy when one is going to apply for any internship. These societies runs some kind of campaigns at times which serves there purpose and help the students with their skills as well. College sometimes offer intership and apprenticeship course instead of skilled enhancement courses for real world experiences but student has to find interships themselves
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The fees is pretty less as compared to most of the colleges offering the same course( other than Delhi University). My fees for 1st year was 12975 rupees and it is expected to increase which I feel is not fair because not all can afford to go to the college and if there's a fee hike then it becomes difficult for some people. Fee structure is different for different categories. There's is no scholarship but there is some kind of a fee concession. I am not much familiar with the fee concession policy of our college. There's no registeration fee. Or admission fee or development fee. But there's exam fee which one has to pay before every semester exams. It around 1000 for every semester. It depends upon the course and the subjects one has opted for. My batchmates who are from other categories have different fee. General category people have more fee with SC and ST people have very less fee as compared to general category. The fee hikes almost every year which gets frustrating at times.
Campus Life :
There's a cultural fest happening every year in the college. The name of the fest is renaissance fest. It happens around the months of March and April. It is usually a two day event. Comprising of dj night and artist night with a lot of food stall, games and sponser stalls. Library has books on almost all domains with this the accessibility is also very good. The library is in a different 3 floor building with different sections on different floors and there are reading halls in every floor of the building. Most of the classrooms have projectors but some of the classrooms wall are not painted properly. Some of the classroom have Aur conditioners also but most of them don't. There's a sports meet happening every year consisting of multiple sports like athletics, cricket, football etc. The ground is very big but it is not maintained properly. There's always water filled on the ground which makes it unplayable. There are multiple societies in the college which organizes their own events.
Faculty :
The faculty to student ratio is pretty average its not very great but it's not too bad. But the faculty that we have at Kirorimal College of Delhi University is highly qualified in their domains. For example in economics department most of the teachers have done their doctrate in their respective domain. The teaching methods differ from teacher to teacher. Some teach in a very conventional way but some of the teachers have very unique teaching methods at times which amazes me everytime. The mentorship that teachers provide is great but some teachers are so bad they don't even listen to any student. They do what they feel like. Some teachers cancel classes without even informing the students and yet they expect the students to be on time every day. Interaction with teachers are mostly great. They are able to guide the students in whatever way they are struggling. Most of the teachers are approachable. Some of the teachers are so sweet they'll give you some extra advice which you needed.

As my course is SOCIOLOGY HONOURS this course needs a lot of field work which is not properly conducted by the college and i think that should be changed but still because of the professors it becomes easy to make the most out of the disciplines that you are choosing.

Placement Experience :
The number of placements in our college is not as expected. The number of placement should be increased in our colleges and students should be given more opportunity to generate employment and to work with companies in form of internships.
Facts about the Sol universities
Course Curriculum Overview :
There are a large amount of course you can choose from in the school of open learning. I personally chose English honours as I was interested in the literature and mythological stories. The curriculum doesn't give you any exposure as there are classes only in Sundays so all the weekend you're on your own. I would suggest to improve the availability of the teachers and fix the teacher to students ratio
