I had taken the admission in Miranda House through Cuet Ug entrance exam. I had scored around 780/800 from OBC category and got it it the first round of cutoffs as my first preference. First I had filled the application form from the cuet nta website and the fee was around 700 for 5 subjects. The examination level was moderate. There is need of improvement in the admission process there should be proper guidelines of preference list making cause many students make mistakes in that and lose their dream college and prefered course.
I'm pursuing Political Science Hons at Miranda House College and it was my first preference. I had interest in this subject from school times and I had always scores well in this subject. Since PSIR is one of the popular and trending optionals for upsc I had opted for this course and it's contemporary nature makes it relevant in day to life too. The exams are held semester wise on 6 months. There is need of improvement in the examination pattern. Instead of giving questions from pyqs only they should ask for some practical and new contemporary questions.
The year wise fees for Political Science Hons in Miranda House is around 15k. Apart from this we also have to pay examination fee each semester of around 1300 RS. There's is difference of 50RS in examination fees of General and OBC students. The course fee has increased due to NEPs additional courses earlier it used to be around 10k. But over-all it's affordable in regards to the department, faculty and facilities.
The name of the annual fest of Miranda House is 'Tempest' which is usually held in March-April. The books regarding the curriculum are mostly available in the library but with limited copies. The classrooms are spacious, well ventilated and with projectors in all rooms but not all rooms are air conditioned. And regarding extracurricular activities I believe the societies of Miranda House are one of the best in Delhi University give diverse and wide range of exposure and opportunity to students for their personal growth. Most impactful and active societies are NSS, NCC and NSO apart from them Tanz, Mridang, Spicmacay, Anukruti, Eng Debsoc, Hindi Debsoc, etc are also there very active.
The faculty in Miranda House College is quite good and especially for my course cause I'm studying it so I can say that. There are sections divided in the class of around 50 students out of which Tut classes are arranged with only 15-20 students to clear their doubts weekly. Also the professors are approachable on having doubts students do ask questions individually after the class and professors are patient enough to answer or guide them all.
i really feel that the curriculum of the course is pretty relevance. i personally think that literature students really should study this very portion. it could have been more comprehensive since they have really cut down atleast 10-15% course they used to teach about a decade ago.
There are placement cell in our college that is really active but that also depends from course to course not all The courses have placements. But recently internship/research work/community outreach options have been given to us instead of SEC.
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.
