St Stephen's College: 7 answered questions

Which one is more prestigious, a B.A.L.L.B from NLSIU, Bangalore, a B.Tech from IIT or an Arts degree from St. Stephen's College, DU?

Tiyasa Saini

28 Sept 21

These are three very different fields that can not be compared with each other whatsoever. Each of them is prestigious in itself. They can not be put in an order. Still, here are some basic points worth mentioning.

If earning a decent amount of money is your ultimate goal, it is suggested that you go for IIT, as it will provide you with the most straightforward career path.
If you aspire to be in a powerful or influential position, you can opt for NLSIU. But this will require immense hard work and practical training.
If you want to study in a popular institution and their brand value interests you more, go for IIT.
If you are competent enough, you can opt for NLSIU, as it is claimed to be tougher than the IITs as well.

A more important question that you should ask yourself is “What does my interest lie in?” The way you pursue the course will decide its worth then. You should make sure that you flourish in whatever you do and build a good career out of it.

What is the worst thing about St Stephens College Delhi University?

Gaurang Sharma

26 Oct 21

Getting a seat at St. Stephens College is a dream for every student but it is an impossible task. One of the worst things can be bribery and discrimination for admission to this prestigious college. Apart from this, the following can also be some more reasons:

The college has strict guidelines for female students and imposes a curfew after 10 PM. There is no restriction for male students and they can have as much fun.
St. Stephen’s favors Malayali students and the college administration easily admits them.
The food at the mess is neither tasty nor good. You can easily have the food from outlets outside the campus.
You cannot issue more than 3 books from the library and have to return them in a week. Whereas, colleges like Ramjas give 6 books for 15 days.
The fests at St. Stephen’s College are extremely boring and you will not enjoy them.

Regardless of these disadvantages, St. Stephen’s is incomparable in terms of academics and the crowd.

Should I choose NIT Rourkela for an Integrated Msc in Physics or a Bsc in Physics at St. Stephen’s Delhi, St. Xavier’s or Presidency University Kolkata?

Abhilash Roy

24 Mar 23

If you are looking for a reputed university to pursue your higher education in India, there are several options available to you. Some of the most renowned institutions in the country include NIT Rourkela, St. Stephen’s Delhi, St. Xavier’s, and Presidency University Kolkata.

If you are passionate about your field of study, it is possible to excel and succeed regardless of where you study. However, there are several factors to consider when choosing a university, such as location, reputation, course offerings, and career prospects.

If you are from Kolkata, you may want to consider St. Xavier's or Presidency University Kolkata. These institutions are well-respected and offer a range of courses across different disciplines.

On the other hand, if you are seeking a university that offers excellent placement opportunities with top-notch industries, NIT Rourkela may be a good choice for you. This institution is known for its strong industry connections and has a track record of producing successful graduates.

It is essential to choose a university that is the right fit for your needs and goals. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:

Location: Consider the location of the university and whether it is easily accessible to you.
Reputation: Research the reputation of the university and its academic programs. Look for rankings, reviews, and feedback from current and former students.
Course offerings: Consider the courses offered at the university and whether they align with your interests and career goals.
Career prospects: Look into the placement record of the university and whether it has strong connections with top employers in your field.

Ultimately, it is important to choose a university that resonates with you and supports your personal and professional growth.

What are the best subjects to study in St. Stephens, Hindu College and Hansraj College?

Arita Chaterjee

03 Nov 21

The best courses offered by colleges depend on various parameters. Some of these parameters are faculty base, effective working of the department, placement opportunities provided by the institute, etc. I have a few friends from St. Stephens, Hindu College, and Hansraj College.

According to them, here are some of the courses that are quite reputed in these colleges.

Hansraj College - B.Com (Hons), Geology (Hons), History (Hons)
St. Stephen's College - Economics (Hons), History (Hons), English (Hons)
Hindu College - B.Com (Hons), Political Science (Hons), Economics (Hons)

Hope this clears your doubts.

Should I do BA programme from St. Stephens or English honours from JMC?

Sugandhi Roy

29 Oct 21

I have friends from both St. Stephens and JMC. Here are a few of the information that I got from them.

St. Stephens is a prestigious college with its own sets of rules and code of conduct. It has a good campus. If you want to explore ideas, places and have a decent campus life then St. Stephens is a great option.
JMC is an off-campus college. So, you won’t have access to campus. It is a girl’s college with strict rules.

Now coming to the courses, in English honors, you will learn about a myriad of texts from different countries and different time periods. However, you will have to spend your three years around poetry and prose. You won’t get to experience much diversity when it comes to subjects. For the BA program, however, you can choose all subjects from Social Science. There are many combinations that you can opt for.

So, I will suggest that you choose the program which will keep you interested for the next three years. College life will be similar irrespective of the institute. Also, gone are the days when students with honors degrees were treated superior to the students who pursued programs.

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

Ritik Bose

14 Aug 20

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.
