No Hostel, But Scholarships Exist
KNC does not provide hostel accommodation, so you’ll need to budget for PG/rent in South Delhi. On the bright side, the college offers scholarships to eligible students.
The verdict
Good fit
A classic DU Political Science degree that punches above its weight for the price. Ideal if you’re prepping for UPSC, law, or a master’s, but don’t expect a red-carpet placement drive—only ~30% get placed on campus, and there’s no hostel.
