Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi - Right/Wrong choice

I am very much interested in geography that's why I choose this course ( B. A. (Honours) Geography). Kirori Mal Collge is one of the best and most famous colleges for this course in India because the faculty here is very supportive and highly educated and here you will get a very good chance to interact with a good number of teachers in the department which will enhance your knowledge and understanding about the subject and many more things. There are pre-semester exams for practice to ensure good performance in the final semester exams. The exams are easy if you have completed your syllabus honestly.

There is very less internship opportunities you will get in the college. Like you can get vice chancellor internship with a good stipend, in flipkart also. But, you can apply for a lot of internships with stipends from outside sources like internshala. In these internships you can get some office work managemet works etc.

The placement cell of the college is not so much active. There is campus placement for some departments only specially for science and commerce. Students can seat in the placement interview from the 5th semester and a good number of students get jobs in different good companies like Wipro, Amazone, etc. The average annual salary is around 600000 and the highest can go up to 1500000. In the geography department, there is no campus placement but after completing the course we can go for higher studies in India as well as in foreign also and can prepare for civil services or can get a professional course in RS & GIS and can apply for a job and can get an annual package of 6-8 lakhs.

The fee for this course was Rs.13945 in 2020 which decreased up to rs.1000 every year. But after CUET UG the fee has increased and it is around rs. 16000 per annum. There is a fee concession program in the college to support financially weak students, in which anyone can apply and can get financial support up to rs. 7000. There are many other internship programs with stipends also to support students financially.

Life at the campus is awesome. Here we can enjoy many departmental and societal fests like the ' Geofest' of the Geography department, 'Kartavya' of the civil services society, and many more in the month of February and March and the grand annual fest of the college 'Renaissance'. Apart from the enjoyment you can learn and gain excellent knowledge from the library which is the hub of many great books and journals and the infrastructure is also great, the library has comfortable chairs and tables and is fully air-conditioned. Classrooms are also fully air-conditioned and are equipped with modern equipment like projectors, laptops, etc. For refreshments, you can visit the huge field of the campus and can play different games of your choice or can join the gym. To enhance your knowledge you can join different clubs and groups also.
