  • I did not find the Chemistry department faculty to be student-friendly or helpful. There were a few professors who were AMAZING at teaching but most of the others were quite rude or didnt put in that many efforts.
  • What Miranda's chemistry department did not prepare me for was skills in academia like scientific surveying, scientific writing, research papee writing, advanced techniques in lab. You have venture out and find opportunities outside of the college.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The Chemistry honors curriculum's core papers are extremely important and useful to provide you with a strong foundation for your masters (atleast theoretically). At Miranda, whatever was taught to us during the course was enough to clear entrance examinations like JAM or GATE with just a little more practice. We received useful materials and resources throughout the course from our faculty as well as our helpful seniors. Since I was in the post-pandemic batch (2021) the first year was quite hectic in terms of exams and fitting in the curriculum in a short amount of time. But after the first year, we got well-adjusted with our schedules, timings for the labs, and preparation for examination. I have applied for Masters abroad, and the curriculum is accepted in several European Universities as well as UK universities.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

There were no hikes in our course fees throughtout the three years. The fees is comparatively quite less compared to other colleges in India including public and private colleges. Along with the college fee, an examination fee is to be paid for every semester examination (1300-1600 for chemistry department). There are quite a few scholarships available in the chemistry department, which are mostly merit-based and depend on the performance of students in examinations.

Campus Life :

Our annual fest Tempest was one of the best times of my life with DJ nights, Neeti Mohan, several stalls and the freedom of being in a gender minority college just made everything a million times better. The fest season in Miranda is always super lively and fun. We have several college societies and clubs including open societies, enactus, NSS, placement cell, Womens Development Cell, Queer Collective, Equal Opportunity Cell, Celluloid film society etc who organise one of a kind events throughout the academic year where you always get to learn something new.

Admission :

Before NEP, the eligibility for the course was solely based on the marks secured in CBSE XII examinations. In 2021, the cutoff for Chemistry hons started at 97.33 (Gen). Now, CUET-UG is required. The cutoffs for which will be on the basis of percentile ranks. Its helpful to check last year's CUET cutoffs to check your eligibility. I did not avail reservations, but they are extremely important.

Faculty :

The Chemistry Department of Miranda House has some highly qualified and respected professors and researchers in their fields. So, I had high hopes for the teaching environment and willingness to help students and guide them. I wasn't wholly disappointed but also not fully satisfied. While some professors were quite helpful, taught subjects in a way youll never forget, there were others who were rude, did not care for the students in the slightest and were quite unhelpful. So it was a 50/50 experience for me. We do have summer projects at the college, those were a fruitful experience always. We got to learn a lot more than classroom learning. While my project mentors were great, others complained about a lack of guidance, a lack of presence of mentora during projects.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is actually great as it helps us to prepare for the competitive exams like the cell biology, genomics and various other topics. Also, the teachers are very friendly and they teach through E-boards which is very helpful as it is easy to use. The type of exams is the semester type in every 4 months exams are conducted and the difficulty level is medium to hard.

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible in the last year for placement and there is dedicated placement cell called 'pinnacle' but it offers good placement in commerce courses but very less number in science courses and definitely neglible in chemistry as students generally tend to opt for a master's degree for better opportunities in industries as well as exams such as GATE. The package ranges from 3 to 4 lakhs. There are no specifics for the company names as the data is not continuous. My plan is also to opto for a master's degree.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Relevance and comprehensiveness by my course I want to become a scientist. And I have more opportunities in government examinations I chose this program because of my favorite subject. There are practical exams in this program also. They are using very effective methods by teaching faculty that was helped in understanding the material for the student. The examination conducted was average and more size, than the examination paper conducted on the given syllabus there I experienced it very well so I think this is a very beautiful journey for me.

The placements were not as great but the placement cell was working hard enough to get good placements for everyone. Placements average at about 4LPA. The vetting and everything was seamless and placement cell members were really helpful.

Placement Experience:

The placement cell of our college is very efficient as it widens opportunities for students and exposes them to various companies. The majority of students were pursued masters in various fields. Some of them were successfully selected in job categories like banking etc. The science students usually don't get placement benefits in the college. So the students have to be dependent on other sources for internships and placements. Many companies like Genpact and other visited Inside the college. Same was the case for previous batches too.

Placement Experience:

The college has an active Placement Cell. It organizes workshops, seminars and provides placement and internships in a wide range of profiles. Major placement opportunities are available to BCom students. Final semester students become eligible for campus placements. As per the stats of 2019-20, the highest package offered was 9 LPA and average package was 4.3 LPA. Major job profiles were finance, audit, sales, marketing, consultancy, HR operations etc. and 96+ companies were associated including KPMG, EY, PWC, Deloitte, Decathlon, UrbanClap, Genpact, Chegg, Wipro, FIS, Teach for India, Josh Talks, Inshorts, Careers 360 and many more. However the percentage of students getting placed is not much greater, because majority of students don't sit in campus placements and go for masters. Generally, BCom graduates are offered with better profiles in big companies (KPMG, EY, Deloitte etc) I am planning to go for MCA after my graduation .

Placement Experience:

3rd-year students are eligible for placements. The highest package of 2020 was of Mc Kinsey with 8lpa and average package of SGTB Khalsa 3 to 4 LPA. The students are mostly places from commerce courses as the big fours come for them. The percentage of students getting placed is 60% and I feel, I might opt for a job after a degree which is suitable as everything is work from home for now.

Placement Experience:

I guess from 5 th semester students are eligible for campus placement and for this, there is a placement cell also being run in the college. Some of the companies that come to our college are Deloitte, ICICI Bank, Josh talks, jio , yamaha , de Shaw, and co. The highest package offered is - 19 LPA The average package offered is - 8 LPA It depends on the course you opt for, but the highest placement is for commerce and economics. ( 70%) I am planning to do MSc after my grad. And then I will pursue research.
