Which is a better college Hindu/Hansraj/Ramjas/Miranda House as a whole?

Anita Roy

28 Jan 22

Among these institutes, Hindu College is better. Only SRCC, Stephens, and LSR can be considered in the same league as Hindu. It has a good reputation among recruiters. The placement cell is active and invites many companies to the placement drive. According to the recent placement statistics, the average CTC offered to the students is INR 8.4 LPA.

Hansraj is also a decent option. National Social Service and other clubs are quite active. Miranda House is on the same level as Hansraj in terms of studies. It is more preferred among students since it is situated right next to the metro station.

Among Hindu, Hansraj, Ramjas and Kirori Mal, which college is best for doing a B.Sc (Maths)?

Sahil Mishra

28 Jan 22

Wait for the cutoff lists to get released. If you clear the cutoff for each of these colleges, then your preference order should be as follows.

Hindu>Kirori Mal>Hansraj>Ramjas

The required cutoff for North campus colleges is usually higher than the south campus colleges. You can choose the college based on your cutoff.

I am getting Miranda House, Lady Shri Ram, Hindu and Hansraj? Which one should I choose for economics honors?

Swapnil Mehta

Among these three, you need to choose between Lady Shree Ram and Miranda as both of them are good colleges. LSR is better than all because of the various factors including the environment, peer groups, events, and many other things.

If you are not a native resident of NCR and there’s a choice between no hostel LSR or the Miranda House with the hostel, then you can opt for the latter as you will get to enjoy and experience the hostel life. If you are unable to get a hostel anywhere then opt for LSR anyway.

Which is better for a BA Hons. Economics Hindu College or Hansraj College?

Disha Sharma,

30 Oct 21

According to the reviews online, several students have preferred Hansraj over Hindu college. They also mentioned some reasons to support the fact.

Better Faculty -

Hansraj boasts DSE, Oxford, Nottingham, former IAS as professors.
Some of the best faculty for Economics in DU are professors at Hansraj.

More opportunities -

Hansraj College is bigger than Hindu not only in terms of the number of students but also in courses, which counts for greater exposure and more societies.

Higher Studies -

Hans Raj has a record for a maximum number of students to join DSE MA Economics every year.
MA aspirants also find their way to other top schools such as IGIDR, Oxford, LSE, IIMs, etc.

Hansraj Economics Council is the leadership body of Hans Raj Economics Society. The structure is such that every student can participate and contribute to the year-long activities of the Society and aspire to join the Council. It is important in 1st year when searching for guidance.

Which is better for a B.Sc (hons.) in chemistry, St. Stephens College or Hindu College? Please answer with reference to fee structures and teacher

Below given table shows a comparison between the two of the best colleges under Delhi University to pursue B. Sc (Hons.) in Chemistry.

	ST. STEPHENS	HINDU
NIRF RANKING	#1	#3
TOTAL FEES (APPROX.)	1.2 LACS	55K
ACCREDITED	NAAC ‘A’ GRADE	NAAC ‘A+’ GRADE

Academics:

According to previous year, the cut off for admission to Hindu college for B. Sc (hons.) in Chemistry was 96.66% and in St. Stephen's it was 92%. The faculty contingency in both the colleges is very well reputed, dedicated and felicitated having won many recognitions to their name. It is not justified to distinguish between the teachers as all are almost at par with academic qualifications, achievements but are restricted by curriculum and different teaching patterns. Both the colleges organize national conferences and workshops for the holistic development of the students and to gain industry exposure.

Placement Opportunities:

The key feature which sets Stephen's apart is that when it comes to applying abroad for higher studies or internships or fellowship programmes, a lot of graduates have had the opportunity to do so owing to the scholarships and collaborations with foreign universities like Oxford, Yale and Cambridge. It has a more disciplined and rigorous and calm aura about itself not being as actively a part of the very famous DU fests as compared to other colleges. There are many ongoing research projects funded by SERB and UGC. Top recruiters being Hetero drugs, Emami, Homi Bhaba Centre for Science Education, BCG etc. offering a median salary of around 9LPA.

In the Hindu college, the median salary package for B. Sc in Chemistry at offer was 5LPA and average placement rate was low as most of the graduates sought to opt for higher studies. The top recruiters were DE Shaw, KPMG, IndiaBulls amongst others. Organizations like Empower India, Philip Morris International, Outlook rolled out internship opportunities too.
