An indeed amazing life journey with miranda delved into exposure and learning.

Placements: Placements are available. The median package is 4 Lacs and the highest one is 17 Lacs. But graduates mostly go for higher education or government services from here. The college also has a placement cell unit where students are guided for internship opportunities. At the end of the day, there is going to be no spoon-feeding. You have to explore on your own and enjoy your life.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very pretty. Miranda is known for its beauty. The library is excellent with all the books available in pdf and offline forms. The Wi-Fi connectivity is good at many places on campus and poor at a few spots. We also have a computer session where students can use computers to study. The hostel is pretty enough with good meals 4 times a day also you don't have any night curfew! The infrastructure is well maintained and is heart stealing also, the canteen food is better than that of expensive hotels!

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and have great teaching experience. We are indulged by them in various activities such as project building. The course curriculum is relevant to the subjects which makes it intriguing to study about the same! The semester exams are not so difficult and can be done easily. Only you have to make sure of your 75 per cent attendance!

There is a very supportive and positive environment in the college.

Placements: Name of companies and roles offered under internships with stipend: Company - ABP Network Role - Management Trainee Stipend - 4 LPA for UG and 5 LPA for PG Company - Franklin Role - Tele Caller and Tele Counsellor Stipend - Monetary perks based on profile Company - Zomato Role - Associate Customer Experience Stipend - 4 LPA Company - Delhi Walks Role - Walk Leader Stipend - 3.5 to 6 LPA Company - Delta X Role - Product Analyst Stipend - 10 LPA

Infrastructure: The name of the annual fest of Miranda House College is Tempest. In addition, different societies organize their own fests as well. They are typically held in March to April. There are thousands of books available in the library, plus lakhs of e-books. The classrooms have good infrastructure with air conditioning and smart electronic boards for a better learning experience. The sports department is also very active in the college and organizes various tournaments from time to time. There is a basketball court, tennis court, and a sports ground in the college. There are various societies and clubs in the college, which are very active and contribute to the holistic development of students.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is pretty good. It’s like 1 professor for 200 students. But for some courses, like Political Science Honours, the faculty ratio is sometimes problematic, which causes problems for the students. In the case of assessment, regular internal and continuous assessments are taken by the faculty in almost all the courses.

Professors beed to be quality ones.

Placements: Placements are available only for the economics courses that too very less. Hardly there are any placements for science or other courses. Neither there are aby workshops or guidance from faculty to appproch the placements. The individual staff council societies however add value to your skill set

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is quite good in the sense of vibe however there is inadequacy of classrooms, benches, no wifi at all . There is no enough infrastructure for the disability section. Hostel facilities deteriorate day by day with the incharges just swaying off their work.

Faculty: Very few teachers are serious un studies or guiding the students. There goes equal internal politics in all the areas of extra curricular among students as well as teachers. Due to NEP everything is so messed up be it curricular or anything. There are strict concerns about attendance preventing students to be active in ecas or outside college activities.

Other: There are no enough support for students pursuing outside courses, or research internships.

The crowd is great and campus is beautiful.

Placements: 21 lpa is the highest package and 4.5 lpa is the lowest package. Zee Media, Urbanclap, Thomson Reuters, IDBI Federal, Nexus, Tata, Wipro, Amazon, Byju's, etc. are the top recruiters. The number of offers last year was 69 and 51 offers for internships, with stipends ranging from 1500 to 35,000. Botany does not offer high-paying jobs, unlike other courses but we do have scope for research. Internships within the department during summer break are often sought after. Top roles offered are environment consultant, researchers, agricultural biologist educators, etc.

Infrastructure: Campus is green with old red stone architecture; classes are spacious with huge windows overlooking the front lawn. The library is good and facilitated with most of the required books and computers. The canteen, along with Nescafe and PAM Cafe, serves great food, although it gets busy quickly during breaks. The sports complex has courts for basketball, volleyball, and lawn tennis. The sports ground is big enough to host games and activities. The hostel has two rooms for medical help, one on the main campus and another near the hostel. Apart from it, each department has its own first aid box and a stash of some over-the-counter medications. Wi-Fi is provided only for faculty, libraries, and computer labs.

Faculty: The faculty is good, but the way teaching may be old-fashioned (speaking for botany only). The curriculum seems to be ever-evolving, which still needs to improve certain aspects like the distribution of hours assigned to each subject or the sequence in which they must be taught. The college does offer opportunities for externships as well as internships. Seminars are often held to help students navigate career choices, but it may vary considering the course one chooses. Semester exam is moderately difficult; one can score well with little effort, although scoring above average requires hard work.
