warning

Campus placements are niche here

Only 25% of the 2025 batch got placed through college. Most History grads freelance their future — think civil services prep, NGOs, or higher studies. Come here for the learning, not the placement safety net.

The verdict

Worth considering

KNC delivers an affordable, credible DU History degree with serious academic roots. It’s a power move if you’re eyeing UPSC, academics, or research. But with no hostel, a 25% placement rate, and corporate recruiting limited to select firms, you’ll need a self-directed plan and a Delhi living budget.
