Remarks
History has always fascinated me, how a single event can be viewed through different realities is something I've wanted to gain perspective on and the college's faculty along with its library seemed like it'd provide well for it to be achieved.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course goes just as you'd expect any Indian course to, a lot to gulp and regurgitate on the answer sheet, which could easily be looked up any time - not very practical. What I'm actually learnt in the first semester though is worth mentioning, the Prof. told us she wants to reach us how to read a newspaper. How to read into an incident in the past and why is it important to not be baised while trying to make sense out of it. It helped me gain perspective not only academically, also in real life. It was pleasant to be taught something practical in a theoretical subject.
Placement Experience
Since History is a subject that tends to attract the interest driven, it is the students themselves who find their ways into their lives as Historians rather than commercial companies doing it for them. I would like to see jobs being offered to us though.
College Events
The events are organised by the students so unprofessionalism is apparent, the jugaad system thrives. The events do cover a spectrum of festivities and issues, it's be better if students themselves were interested in listening to the speakers, than the event organisers calling just about anyone and bribing them with attendance points to stay for the duration of the speech for the housefull effect.
Campus Life
Love the classy red brick wall. Classrooms are almost good if not for the terrible ventilation system. The open grounds are well kept, GCR not so well kept with the ACs barely working. The best thing about KMC has to be the doggos. And wait what WiFi?
Hostel Facilities
KMC doesn't have a hostel for girls, yet. The PG's nearby do have a strategic location, amidst the market to lure the students in a plethora of unwanted goods right next to a village in shambles with cows crowding the tiny lanes. The contrast is almost overwhelming, if one was to not know how we prefer to jugaad and not learn to rise above.
