Even though both colleges hold immense prestige and boast of their academic excellence, for many, Hindu College stands ahead of Hansraj College for Economics Honors. Many students consider Hindu College to be in 4th position in terms of Economics studies, after St.Stephens, SRCC, and LSR.

Some highlights of Hindu College are- 

Post-graduation studies- The students pursuing their Economics (Hons) from Hindu College get the opportunity to join prestigious institutions for further studies. To name a few-

• Oxford University, Delhi School of Economics, London School of Economics
• University of Bath, Warwick University, and other prominent universities of the UK
• IIM (including IIM Bangalore), XLRI, FMS, SP Jain, MDI, and other prestigious business schools in India
• Placements- Students are offered positions in firms such as Google, Jaypee Trading, KPMG, DE Shaw, and others. Some students even receive multiple offers
• My sisters’ batchmates (2010 graduates) are currently placed in top Private Equity firms, Top investment banks, and consulting firms of great prestige. Some secured much-revered government positions as IAS and IFS officers.

Though these are not statistical figures for an accurate comparison, the data can still provide important insight and value judgment on Hindu College.

Ultimately, it is a matter of individual preference regarding which college you choose. Both colleges offer students immense opportunities, in fact even similar opportunities, so to say.

Also, some of my friends do mention that the economics faculty at Hansraj might be better than the one at Hindu.

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.
