** Admission to Kirori Mal College in 2016 was merit-based, focusing on the best scores in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. An applicant initially enrolled in Acharya Narendra Dev College switched to Kirori Mal College through later merit lists, choosing the Zoology department because of its strong reputation and quality lab facilities. The admission process was streamlined with help from supportive seniors and faculty. The Zoology department is lauded for its PhD-holding faculty, aged 29-45, who provide comprehensive academic support and foster a nurturing environment. However, lab equipment availability is a concern. The faculty participates in various events and emphasizes moral education alongside academics. The fee structure, ranging from ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 annually, is manageable for middle-class families, with reduced fees for physically handicapped students and concessions for those economically disadvantaged. An additional ₹600 is charged for event participation. Scholarships are available based on parental income, with INSPIRE Scholarships offering up to ₹1 lakh for high achievers. Although the college lacks loan facilities, it supports external scholarship applications. Postgraduate placement rates are robust, reaching 80-85%, especially for commerce students who secure positions in companies like Wipro and Infosys, with an average package of ₹4.5 lakh annually. Life Sciences and non-technical students often pursue further studies or research, with internships in reputed labs. The college's placement cell is active, organizing campus interviews and job programs, particularly for commerce students. For economically disadvantaged students, fee concessions are available, with eligibility determined through interviews. Although direct placements are less prevalent for some courses, the college prioritizes internships and higher education to enhance career opportunities. Despite the affordable fees compared to colleges like Hindu and Hansraj, financial challenges may persist without additional support.
