In 2019, Maharaja College's admission process for the journalism program required candidates to apply through the Delhi University UG Admissions portal, following the DU cutoff list. Successful applicants, including those accepted from the 5th cutoff list, submitted necessary documents for verification and received a fee slip for course enrollment. The college's faculty received mixed reviews, being described as average overall, with some supportive and knowledgeable teachers. While the college's journalism program is suggested as a second choice after Delhi College of Arts and Commerce, it offers a feasible fee structure with annual tuition at about Rs.
15,000 and semester exam fees ranging from Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 1,700. The college's Training and Placement Cell, active in facilitating internships and placements, boasts a placement rate consistently above 93%, with top companies like INTEL and MICROSOFT offering packages up to 19.67 lakhs per annum. However, journalism students find placements less impactful, relying on external support, such as NDTV, for internships. Despite the pandemic's impact, faculty aid students through recommendations and projects with industry experts are regularly assigned.
The college, lacking loan facilities or male hostel accommodations, provides scholarships in six categories for exceptional talents and admits students with disabilities. The cost of living in the area is approximately Rs. 10,000 monthly.
