Life at KMC Through My Eyes

The field of Statistics attracted me because of its versatility and application across various sectors. The curriculum is well structured, but with the introduction of NEP, subjects under AEC, GE, SEC does not provide any value addition, these subjects often feel irrelevant to the core subjects and adds unnecessary burden as they don't contribute much to practical knowledge.

Students are eligible to sit for internships from their first year of college. Various companies like Accenture, DE Shaw, Amazon, Acclime, Zomato, etc visit for internship opportunities with a chance to convert into PPO. Various companies offer various roles for students to apply. If you wanna go into sales, product management, HR, Data science there's opportunities for everyone.

I didn't sit for placements in my college since I'm planning to pursue masters. However, various number of companies visit for campus placements including Accenture, DE Shaw, WTW, etc. Students in their final year are eligible to sit for these placements. The highest placement offered till now was 23 LPA and average placement ranges between 7-9 LPA.

I am a day scholar but I've friends who took up PGs in Kamla Nagar. The average rent is around 20K which include 3 meals. The electricity bill is generally not included and washing machine facility is also provided. The menu of the week is fixed and shared beforehand and the quality of meals is satisfactory.

I applied to a number of colleges of DU. I got rejected from Hindu and LSR since I couldn't clear the cutoff for general category. However, I chose KMC over Hansraj, Ramjas and other colleges due to its interactive college life, good placements, and supportive and highly qualified faculty.

The faculty at KMC are not only highly qualified but also have a wide wealth of experience ranging from 5-30 years. They're very approachable and supportive, always ready to assist students with both academic as well as personal challenges. The internal examinations include about 60% of the syllabus which is quite manageable and easy to pass. The end sem exams are pretty straightforward, and can be cleared without much difficulty.

Admission to KMC is solely through CUET (Common University Entrance Test). There are no GD or Interviews conducted. The entrance test is not very difficult and can be prepared while studying for class 12th exams.

The college usually closes at 6 but there are various cafes in Kamla Nagar and Hudson Lane where students can go after a long tiring day.
