Review of Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi.
Placements: My course is B.A. Political Science Honors. 50 percent of students got placed. The average package is 20 LPA. I don't have any information about any companies. Most of the students start doing internships when they are in either the second or third year. I love Political Science, so I opted for this subject.
Infrastructure: There is very poor Wi-Fi connectivity on our campus. Classrooms are very small and suffocating, with no AC. The best thing about Kamala Nehru College is that it has a huge library, but there is poor internet and Wi-Fi connectivity. It is big, so fans are not enough in summers. Classrooms are so good.
Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable, but they try to put their hard work in, or they don't want to put extra effort into the students. They just come to class, start reading from their personal electronic gadgets like tablets and laptops. They should teach from their whole heart.
Other: My course is Political Science (Hons). So there should be practical work like parliamentary debate and public speaking activities.

Good experience in my college years it is filled with many opportunities and new learnings.
Placements: We have a placement cell in our college, and they organise the placement fair every academic year, bringing in many opportunities for the students to sit for interviews as per their choice. Other than this, they also organise many workshops and seminars for the students.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure facilities have improved over the years. A new academic block has been established with various facilities. There are separate labs for psychology, computer, and geography in the college. The library is among the best, with newly updated books and good infrastructure.
Faculty: The professors are very well qualified and learned in their respective fields. They are friendly and open to discussions with the students. The curriculum is based on the new NEP policy, and the college offers lots of practical-based courses as well.
Other: The extracurricular opportunities are immense, with many societies offered for students to choose from as per their interests and choices.

A good crowd can make good friends and is good for your career as well.
Placements: Placement is not that good for this particular course. The placement cell mainly provides internships, but placements are not that good. However, it does have a name if you search for placement on your own and a good name of value.
Infrastructure: Facilities of water and washrooms are amazing. The washrooms are usually clean. Some classrooms are usually very small, students sit very congested, but the new building, which has been made recently, is really great. Wi-Fi doesn't work, nor can you access the network.
Faculty: Faculty is excellent. Teachers are really helpful and qualified and knowledgeable. Teachers have really great connections with media houses and support in everything. They are really kind. However, the curriculum is not at all relevant to the current scenario.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty, placements, campus, infrastructure and overall facilities.
Placements: 40 percent of students got placed last year. The highest package is 32 LPA, the lowest is 5 LPA, and the average is 10 LPA, which is quite good tbh. Top recruiting companies are Times Now, NDTV, Hindustan Times, and News18 India. Somewhere around 40-50 percent of students got summer internships in companies like NDTV and Times Now, and some of them got into Doordarshan also. Top roles offered in my course are editor-in-chief and news presenter on national TV.
Infrastructure: Facilities are 10/10, every classroom is air-conditioned with a proper ventilation system. We have proper labs for every course, like a geo lab, media lab, computer lab, etc. Wi-Fi condition is really good, we have proper connection throughout the campus. Our college doesn't offer hostels, so you have to get personal PGs.
Faculty: Teachers are fabulous here. They are really helpful, kind, top in their fields, and very friendly. The course curriculum is very relevant and it makes students industry-ready by the end of this course. Semester exams are moderate to tough, but teaching quality is really good, so ultimately students pass with really good marks. Even I got 9 CGPA.
Other: I chose this course because I really wanted to do it, and the nicest thing about this course is the exposure you get to the real world. Remove the theory part totally and make it fully practical. Every single thing about the events, fest, crowd, connectivity, and ECA is top-notch.

College is not bad but not good. I am still enjoying it.
Placements: My course and batch have over 100 students. The highest package is 24.5 LPA, the average is 5.23 LPA, and the lowest is 4.90 LPA. Honestly, for courses besides commerce and journalism, internships and opportunities could be quite niche. Connections are still dynamic, and the placement cell is quite active. However, you still have to find a lot by yourself.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure in my college is quite average. The library is good, but there is no AC, and Wi-Fi doesn't work there. The computer lab is good, and the computers there work pretty well. Some classrooms are good, and some lack basic facilities like chairs. Honestly, it depends on what building you are in. The difference is big there. Journalism department is the biggest one, while the old building is, as suggested, old. A positive thing there is the extension of the new building now, which has AC classrooms. Canteen food, I would say, is the best. We have Nescafe and Amul cart. Food here will not disappoint you.
Faculty: I have met professors who are helpful, qualified and actually enjoy teaching, but I also met professors who make me question how they are even qualified for this. Course curriculum is relevant however, making students industry-ready is still questionable. Semester exams can be hard if you don't know how to stretch an answer with precise points. Passing SGPA is around 4-5.
Other: The best thing about my course is that philosophy, history, economics and psychology have their place in this course. The thing I want to improve is making the course dynamic however, with no unnecessary information. Fest in my college is honestly quite good. There is good food to eat and artists, though not that famous but still very enjoyable. Connectivity is there. You have to be yourself active for that. College societies are also very active with continuous participation.

College environment is so peaceful, stress-free, and away from the chaos.
Placements: For my course, B.A. Program, students go for higher studies or prepare for competitive exams. So there is no data available for placed students. The highest packages are offered in courses like B.Com, Economics, and Journalism. Students have to apply for internships through college societies or outside opportunities.
Infrastructure: KNC provides amazing infrastructure. It has a rich library, greenery, gardens, and eco-friendly classrooms made of bamboo. It has various food outlets that provide decent-quality food. KNC does not have its own hostel, so students stay in rooms or PGs.
Faculty: Faculty is extremely rich in terms of knowledge and expertise. Professors are supportive and check IA/CA on time. They provide genuine support and motivation. The curriculum is based on practical elements. Semester exams are moderate in level, and students pass because they are well-prepared.
Other: I opt for Political Science because it provides me with a foundation to prepare for law and government-level exams. More depth in the subject would help, along with reducing the number of subjects. KNC is rich in conducting various competitions and events.

Which is best for Law among LPU and DU?

Answered 2 weeks ago

According to me, if you are getting a seat in DU, choose it as your priority. DU is a better choice in terms of academics and affordable fees. 

LPU is a good option if you want modern infrastructure, a diverse campus, practical learning, internships, and placement support. But the decision is yours,
