Great academics and campus.
Placements: In my course, very few students take college placements (approximately 10 percent). Average package around 6 LPA-7 LPA, and the highest 15 LPA-18 LPA. Internships are offered in NGOs, policy and research, finance, and corporates. Roles like policy analyst, associate, consulting, and research.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi doesn't work, sports facilities are not good, canteen food is nice, but juice is very costly. I don't know about the hostel as I didn't get a hostel. There are very few seats in the hostel, only 5-6 students from my course get a hostel. The infrastructure is nice.
Faculty: The faculty is excellent, but there are very few teachers who are not that good. Course curriculum is relevant and good for fields like civil services, NGOs, Policy research, and the lecturer's field. Semester exams are moderate, and the pass percentage is more than 85 percent.
Other: I chose this because of my interest in civil services. The best thing about this course is the excellent faculty. Internship and placement support should be clearer, and there should be an increase in hostel seats in this course. Good fest, active societies, nearby good metro connectivity, north campus vibe, diverse crowd, scholarship available, and many extracurricular activities and opportunities.

The college is so far good.
Placements: To be honest, I have not yet explored the placement opportunities, but based on facts, the Miranda house placement trend for 2024-25 has the highest package of 2.4 LPA. Our college also has a dedicated placement cell that collaborates with various companies and organises seminars for students interested in higher education. Although I haven't attended any, I have heard a lot from my friends about the intriguing sessions and how they proved very beneficial for them.
Infrastructure: IT is "THE MOST" beautiful, well-maintained, organised and aesthetic infrastructure I have seen amongst all the north campus colleges (yes, I have visited many in the north campus, but None can compare to Miranda). There are spacious, well-equipped classrooms with some of them having ACs as well, and greenery surrounding them that helps focus and rejuvenate your energy, and also a sense of calmness. We also have lifts making it accessible for differently-abled students as well. About the hostel, I am not quite sure as I am not a hosteller and don't want to give wrong reviews.
Faculty: Faculty for our political science department is great. Teachers are really cooperative and knowledgeable. They are ready to help even at the slightest convenience. They know their job, and they know how to convey their knowledge to us in the best manner. Apart from lectures, they also focus on improving our speaking and listening skills which will help in our future interviews for sure. Our Political Science syllabus coincides with many parts of the UPSC syllabus as well, and that's one of the greatest pros. Sec, vac and aec have many valuable courses that will help develop many valuable skills.
Other: I have heard Miranda is known for their political science department, and upon coming, I realised that's absolutely true. The faculty, the infrastructure, the crowd, the exposure, everything is just so worth it. It will make your college life 10 times better.

Great experience with new opportunities.
Placements: For B.A. Political Science (Hons) at Miranda House, very few students (around 3-5 percent) take direct placements, most go for M.A., UPSC, and other exams. The college packages are around 7 LPA-8 LPA on average, with the highest being about 18 LPA-19 LPA, and companies like KPMG, Deloitte, Wipro, Uniqlo, NGOs, and policy organisations visit. Many students also get internships in NGOs, government, and research work, and later work as policy analysts, teachers, journalists, or in civil services.
Infrastructure: There are smart classrooms, full-campus Wi-Fi, a big library with digital resources, computer/DRC labs, clean washrooms, and good sports facilities like a gym and grounds. Hostel rooms are decent, but no AC, Wi-Fi, or laundry available. Mess food is mostly average, but canteen food is good, and the college has a medical room/clinic and many options for sports, NCC, and cultural activities.
Faculty: The teachers in the Political Science course at Miranda House are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, with a friendly approach. The teaching quality is good, focusing on practical learning, though the curriculum could be updated more for real-life skills. The semester exams are moderately difficult, with a pass percentage of around 90 percent, and it is easier to pass if students attend classes and prepare well. The course curriculum is relevant but could include more practical aspects to make students industry-ready, especially for civil services and policy-related roles.

B.A. Political Science Honors in Miranda House.
Placements: While I am still continuing with my course. The reviews from my seniors tell me that the college provides good placements. But it also provides a strong base. It helps in securing good internships and PPOs. I have a long way to go until I graduate. So all I can provide are reviews and opinions from my own seniors.
Infrastructure: Labs and classrooms are air-conditioned (the majority of them). The library is huge, with a web OPAC that helps you digitally find your book. Personally, I find the canteens (we have four) amazing and economical, each catering to a different need and mood. The Wi-Fi, I’ll admit, is bad across the campus. It works well in some areas and cuts off completely in others. Overall, I give it a 9/10.
Faculty: Faculty is experienced and extremely welcoming. While some may disappoint you, the majority are really good and qualified. The curriculum, however, is outdated. Its practical aspects could be improved and taught in a better way (NEP guidelines). Lastly, the university exams are comparatively easy, as the saying goes, you can never fail in DU. It is the excellence that is difficult to achieve.
Other: The best part about the Political Science Hons course is that it is filled with depth. Societies and events happen every day, and it possibly has the most active society. The crowd is highly competitive and motivates you to be better and push your limits. Finding friends may be a little tough at first, but it gets better with time once you find your vibe.

Overall review moderate. Don’t come with a lot of expectations, guys, or you will be disappointed.
Placements: I am a fresher, and it has been just four months since I came to college, so I don't have much information about placements. But as I have heard from seniors, the level is good. I will try during my time here in college. I will definitely let others know later, as I don't think it is good to review something I don't know well.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure overall is good both in college and Miranda’s Hostel. The library, DRC labs, medical facilities, and classrooms have very good infrastructure and facilities. The food in the canteen is good, but the same does not apply to hostel food (average – not too terrible and not too good). The Wi-Fi, like in most colleges and hostels, fluctuates a lot. Everything else in terms of infrastructure is good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, but please don't expect teachers like in school here. Everything is very formal. The course curriculum is relevant according to me, but a little more practical and real-life things can be added. I haven't given any semester exam till now, but they are approaching in December. As much as I have heard, they are tiresome (don’t know about easy or hard) because you have to write 6–7 pages for a single answer, which can be challenging.
Other: I chose Political Science (H) because I find the subject very interesting. Miranda has one of the best Political Science departments in DU. The best thing is that you get to learn a lot, both academically and through the societies of the department. I think the thing that can be improved is the number of assignments given. It becomes hectic sometimes to manage classes (as we have to maintain a minimum attendance of 68%), societies, and personal preparation if we are preparing for any competitive exam. Seniors are like friends here, and one or another event keeps going on in college every day.

If you belong to the general category and if the cutoff trend remains the same as last year, you will make it through Miranda House by the 2nd cutoff. Even if cutoffs increase by some percent, you still have chances to make it through this year.
