The college is not so good, not so bad, but it is an underrated college for sure.

Infrastructure: Hostel is not ready yet, construction work is going on. The campus is small with no ground and less space to chill and relax. Otherwise, infrastructure is decent, better than a few DU colleges. Full Wi-Fi connectivity is available. Labs and library are well maintained. Classrooms are spacious. A few AC rooms are also available.

College life is good, but the college timetable is not good.

Infrastructure: There are Wi-Fi network issues, but the library and classrooms are neat and clean. The canteen food is good and reasonably priced. The college societies are well organized, and you can find your type of society once you join. Many more opportunities are available if you are interested.

Infrastructure: Facilities are very good, with a stationery shop in the college, a large canteen, and a well-stocked library with all the important books we may need.

An informative review to choose this college.

Infrastructure: There is no hostel facility in the college. Network accessibility is poor. Classrooms are not well-maintained. The whitewash is of poor quality, due to which our clothes get dirty if we ever touch the walls. Canteen food is average. There is no common ground inside the premises. Only a sports ground is there outside the college, which only can be accessed by sports teams.

Extremely dissatisfied with the infrastructure of the college, but happy with the professors.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Kirori Mal College is absolutely the worst. The food in the canteen is pretty average. The library is good, but the timings are compatible with most students, as it closes by 6 pm. Hostels are decent. The sight of the arts block is extremely sickening. Wi-Fi doesn't work. The mobile network goes off inside the campus. Classrooms don't even have proper fans. In a class of 30 desks, 3 rows, they have 3 fans. They are thinking that AC is far-fetched.

Really good infrastructure and amazing faculty .

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is amazing, as it is the NIRF 1 college of India, so you can say that you will get a nice infrastructure. Personally, I love the girls' hostel. Being a hosteler, the girls' hostel is not a government body, so it's as pricey as PGs, but yes, you will get all the facilities.

Satisfied with faculty, Infrastructure is mid. Placement is fine.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is okay. Like, there is no air conditioning in the class and the ,walls have some scribbles as well, but overall it depends upon the student and teacher so it doesn't matter too much. Still, it is not top-notch. But as for a South Campus college, it is fine.

Good placement cell. Infrastructure could use some work.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is kind of old. It could use some upgrade. The buildings, I mean; even the benches in some classes. Library is good. Wi-Fi works fine. Labs are okay too. College does not have a hostel; you'll have to look for PGs nearby. Mostly students live in PGs in South Extension.

One of the best in academics, the faculty members are really good.

Infrastructure: All the labs are well-equipped, the library has all the relevant books for our courses, and it is well air-conditioned. Classroom infrastructure is not that good, very few classes are air-conditioned. As a hostel facility is not available for everyone, I did not get the hostel, so I can not tell anything about it.

Great faculty and good placement record.

Infrastructure: The library at Kirori Mal College is a 3-floor building with the ground and first floor being reserved for the books and the second floor for reading rooms/computer labs. It is quite excellent as there is a massive collection of books and the reading rooms are spacious and ventilated, i.e., perfect for studying.
