Department of Bengali, Kirori Mal College was established in the year 1963. But it came into existence in July 1969, When Ms. Shipra Choudhuri joined as a Bengali Faculty. In comparison, number of students studying Bengali in Delhi was minimal. It was a tiny department with only a B. A. (Pass) Bengali course. Principal after principal has helped to grow the Department. After Dr. Shipra Choudhuri’s retirement the department was run by an Ad-hoc faculty. Year by year past. Our Department comes to real look now. So Bengali Society will also be formed soon, named after “Akshor”. The Department conducts seminars and many other events.

The Bengali Department aims to make students aware of the Bengali language and Literature, its ethnic linguistic history, stylistics in literary writings and contemporary form through teaching, research in different genres of writings, and extension activities along with the linguistic diversity of India. So, students can interact and collaborate with other departments for research and projects. It helps them to get more insights into multi-disciplinary perspectives beyond the syllabus. Our department does not offer Honors in Bengali to date, Despite our limited capacity the department has a practice of open interaction with the students and mentoring them for their holistic growth. And our sincere effort always will try to flourish the students in every way.

The Department of Botany of Kirori Mal College came into existence in July 1973 when B.Sc. (Hons) Botany and B.Sc. (General Group) classes were started. Prior to this there was a Biology Department for instructions for the Pre-Medical course only. The Botanical Society of Kirori Mal College- MEDINI, was started with the aim of inculcating the spirit of adventure, learning beyond what is available in the textbooks and creating awareness. The Department conducts an Annual Inter-College competition for "The Vice Chancellor’s Rolling Shield on Environment." The rolling shield was instituted by the Vice Chancellor, University of Delhi, Prof. Gurbax Singh, in 1983. The main purpose behind the institution of the shield was to initiate a forum for environment activities to inculcate interest in and awareness of the environment in the minds of young students. The Department of Botany conducts various events including National Symposium, Independence Day, Republic Day, Freshers Party, Farewell, and botanical excursions. Under the flagship of SRISHTI- The Annual Botanical Fest, various educational activities such as workshops and symposia are organized every year.

The Department of Chemistry at Kirori Mal College is one of the largest departments of the college. Established in the Year 1954, the department is regarded as one of the finest in the University of Delhi. The academic society of the department organizes seminars, festivals, and visits to various industries every year. The department has a rich collection of books for the benefit of both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It also provides links to many international journals. The department provides a platform for interaction with the industry in the form of summer projects and educational trips. It also organizes workshops in association with a range of prestigious organizations.

Department of Commerce- Established in 1954, the Department of Commerce has successfully strived to achieve excellence and hence continues to be recognized among the best global educational institutions in the realm of commerce as indicated by the latest NIRF rankings too. The Department offers important undergraduate courses i.e., B. Com and B. Com (Hons) that are well received by students within India and across the globe. The Department has one of the most eminent and fulgent societies of the institution, The Commerce Society which provides a plethora of robust opportunities that encourages creativity and intellectual activity among the students. For this purpose, it arranges talks, lectures, group discussions, competitions, seminars, and conferences throughout the year. Also, there exists the Finance and Investment Cell, which is a student-driven initiative towards acquiring and sharing knowledge amongst the finance enthusiasts. The bi-annual e-magazine of the Department of Commerce, Comércio has been an epitome to exhibit excellence in several fields be it in academics, corporate world, entrepreneurship, or sports. The magazine exhibits research papers on contemporary topics associated with commerce, finance and economy which could add value to our readers

The core vision and priority of the Economics Department has been to provide quality learning in the core discipline with a multidimensional perspective and encourage the students to stretch beyond the confines of the given curricula and not to focus entirely on the proximate objective of examination success.

The Department has a tradition of open interaction with the students. There is an environment of trust, openness and easy approachability to the faculty members. Students are encouraged to approach teachers whenever they feel the need. The students are encouraged to discuss not only the problems they face in their course material but also larger issues and questions they have in their minds.

This vision has been reflected in a very large proportion of our students going for higher studies in Economics and later following up with research. Large numbers of our alumni are in teaching and research across universities and institutions and Corporates around the world and in India. We find a significant presence of our alumni in the prestigious conferences on Economics held in the country.

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Welcome to the Department of Mathematics, Kirori Mal College (KMC), University of Delhi, Delhi. It is one of the best mathematics departments in the University of Delhi. The mathematics department of KMC has 18 permanent faculty members, and an intake capacity of 83 students who are admitted in the department every year through Common University Entrance Test - Undergraduate (CUET-UG). The department has a separate airconditioned staff room, equipped with computing, printing and Wi-Fi facilities for its faculty members. It has an active Mathematics society called "TENSORS" which organizes mathematical fests every year. Besides, the society regularly organizes "Qazi-Zameeruddin" seminars in which eminent mathematicians from India and abroad are invited to give lectures, provide insight into various facets of mathematics and talk to students about their future career prospects in mathematics. The college library has a very rich and large collection of reference books in mathematics for the benefit of its students. Last but not the least, the faculty of the mathematics department is very committed to the cause of teaching mathematics to its students and helping them to achieve their best in the academic life at the college.

Since its inception on 1^st February 1954, the Sanskrit Department of Kirori Mal College has been enhancing its reputation. In this journey of 69 years, this department has handed over scholars with good manners to the country, who are establishing the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्) in various fields. Here learned teachers like Dr. Ravindra Nagar, Dr. Pandit Shiv Narayan Shastri and Dr. Mayawati have played their tireless role in realizing the dreams of the students. Pandit Shiv Narayan Shastri has been a world class scholar. This is the temple of learning where the children are cultured and inspired for nation building. At present there are 6 teachers working here who are experts in their respective fields.

About
Laboratory

The Physics Department of Kirori Mal College has a very dedicated, energetic, dynamic, and research-oriented faculty of a group of twenty-nine rationalists. The department has a rich set of spacious laboratories – 5 Physics Labs and a Microprocessor and Microcontroller Lab. Though each Lab is dedicated to a particular set of experiments, each lab can actually accommodate almost all Physics experiments performed in undergraduate studies. Of the five Physics labs, three are equipped with dark rooms for performing optics experiments. The well-ventilated labs of the Physics department are designed to ensure cross-ventilation as well as to suit the operations of Air Conditioning in the sultry summers of Delhi. To be precise and concise, the following is a non-exhaustive list of experiments (experimental setups) that are performed in the Physics Department
