MLNC(DU) - Review

Motilal Nehru College is one the oldest college of University of Delhi. It's not the best college but yes it is an above-average college of DU. The fee structure and faculty is good but they should provide hostel facility because they have a lot of un used land. They should also try to get sponsors so that the quality of events can be raised. The overall environment and experience of college are good. One can trust this college and take admission in it.

The courses are really good. DU has changed their syllabus in the year 2015 and New Syllabus is based more on Practical than theory. MLNC is a regular college so our exams happen Twice a year (Semester wise) Odd Semester Exam (1/3/5) happens in the month of December and Even Semester Exam (2/4/6) happens in the month of May. The level of difficulty of exams is also not high. Usually, the Semester exams are of 75 marks.

The college has a Placement Cell. This year from August - October KPMG, EY, PwC and many other companies visited the campus for Placement with the average of 3.3-3.5 LPA. They also provide Internships and Workshops. I was a Summer Intern at Sharekhan and also done the workshop at NSE. They offer internships in good companies like OYO, Yes Bank, etc.

This is something that MLNC lacks on. The level of the event is not good. Some main events are Speakers Meet - An Event in which they call celebrities to speak. Freshers - Usually happens in October. Fest - Usually happens in March. Farewell - Happens in April. But the level of all the event is below par. They don't get many sponsors.

The fee structure is feasible. My first-year fees were 4700+900 Examination fees. 2nd Year - 5400. 3rd Year - 8200. MLNC is famous for its low fees however from the year 2019 they've increased the fees up to 70-80%. Still one can easily afford it. Even after the increase, it is one of the cheapest colleges in term of fees in Delhi University.

My father is an Income Taxpayer so I can't avail the scholarship. The fees of the college are very low and only those who are in a deep need can apply for Scholarship. They have to submit a form which is easily available in college and submit that with Income Tax details to the college faculty. Attendance of the student is being considered for Scholarship.

Gender Ratio is like 6:5 for Boys and Girls. People from all across the Nation comes in MLNC which makes it diverse. Lab facility of college is good. It also depends on subject to subject and Faculty to Faculty but other extracurricular activities are not very good but College really focus on Sports. Our team of Football is among the best team in Delhi NCR. They focus on other sports too.

College doesn't have any Alumni Network. They usually call Alumni in Annual Meet but those who are living in Delhi NCR or those who check college website can know that. They don't try to contact. Senior Student Interaction of the college is good though and Seniors are really helpful. Generally, we meet seniors during elections.

On the basis of my marks in class 12th I got admission in this college. For the purpose of Calculation of marks, best 4 subjects are considered which includes a language subject and 3 other subjects. DU doesn't consider Physical Education as a part of 4 subjects. DU realises its annual Cuttoff from the month of June. Before that, you have to Register first which generally starts after the declaration of 12th Result.

The faculty is good as well as experienced. Especially of Commerce Department. However, there are subjects for which faculty is not available and they hire guest lecturers or faculty on a temporary basis. But those are also really hardworking and knowledgeable peoples.
