Hansraj College is a historically great college.

Placements: Hansraj College overall placements are definitely one of the best, but the question is for the History department and for that it's poor. So most students of our department mostly pursue PG or go for research work, as jobs in our department are quite scarce. Overall, Hansraj College placements, though, are top class.

Infrastructure: Hansraj College DU is definitely one of the best colleges as infrastructure is top class. Newly built computer labs are just amazing, and our library is something where you can find any journal research paper besides books, as they are in plenty here. The canteen also offers food at a reasonable price, and auditoriums again are top class.

Faculty: Our history professors too are historically as all of them are doctorate and medalists . Teaching style is entirely modern and hats off to them for making boring history look so easy and interesting. A lot of facts and insights which are not mentioned in our university books, our professors teach us that too, as they themselves are really well-versed.

Other: Hansraj College crowd is magic. Fests and all too are one of the best among DU colleges.

Everything is perfect except for events, as they do not take place at the college grounds.

Placements: Placements in my course are not something that we can rely on. A few students get placements from my course, i.e., about 20 percent. Mostly, students opt for higher studies or prepare for government exams like UPSE, M.A, law, etc. I am not sure about the highest package offered in my course, but the average package offered ranges from 5-6 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is really attractive and beautiful. The campus is always clean and has many facilities for students. It has a sports ground as well as a badminton court for both outdoor and indoor sports. Canteen food quality is nice, but the price is a little high. The taste is also okay. In Mitti Cafe and other meal stations, the quality and taste of the food are amazing, but they are quite pricey.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and supportive. They all are experts in their subjects. Teaching is of high quality, and classes are very interesting. The best thing about teachers is that they have separate classes for only doubt solving. The course curriculum is very relevant and focuses on what will actually help us in the future. The exam level is easy to moderate.

Other: I chose this course because I had an interest in history. Things I want to improve in college are that events take place in other areas rather than on college grounds.

It has a beautiful campus and supportive teachers.

Placements: Overall, Hansraj placements are really impressive compared to other DU colleges. Mostly commerce students get placements in top firms with the highest packages. A B.A. Honours in history doesn't have much scope for direct placements from the college campus. But we can still get placements if we are highly skilled. The package offered is more than 10 LPA.

Infrastructure: Hansraj has one of the finest infrastructures. It has 3 blocks, where different course classes take place. One thing I really like about the Hansraj is how peaceful it is. We can chill with your friends or alone at the library corridors, lovers point, garden next to the canteen, Mitti cafe, Amul Meal Station, etc. For sports lovers, many facilities are available.

Faculty: Faculty members of Hansraj are satisfactory, but sometimes the management fails to hold events together, which leads to chaos. Teachers from B.A. Honours in history are wonderful. They are super supportive and encouraging. They always clarify doubts after class and encourage class participation. Exams are not very hard, and we just need to focus on classes.

Other: Hansraj is one of the best colleges in overall Delhi University. It gives every kind of opportunity that a student needs in their college life. Societies also bring a lot of opportunities for students.

Fest culture needs to be improved here.

Placements: Placements for B.A. Honors in history are limited. Only a small number of students get placed, for example, out of 100, only 2-3 students get placed every year. The packages are also very low upto 3-4 LPA. Students from my course usually prepare for competitive exams rather than sit for campus placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Hansraj is well structured and well-maintained. The campus is beautiful and very clean. The LP area is a perfect place for a break during the gaps between classes. Hansraj has a lot of places to eat, and the food quality is nice, and the taste is amazing. Everyone should definitely try Mitti Cafe's cold coffee.

Faculty: The faculty is very qualified here at Hansraj. Teachers are very professional and supportive. Each teacher is very knowledgeable in their subject and is very helpful. Curriculum includes 3 core subjects and other subjects, including GE, VAC, SEC, and AEC, which we can choose ourselves. The course is very relevant and prepares us for real-world problems. Exams are quite easy in my opinion. You can easily score 8+ CGPA by studying during the exam gap.

Other: The fest organised by Hansraj College is not really great. I wish they would improve the fest culture here. Also sports ground isn't always open for us, and because of the hectic and busy schedule, we can't really play sports very much until you are a part of the sports society.

It has good infrastructure but small campus.

Placements: Placements in Hansraj are good for other courses but not as great for my course which is B.A. (H) in history. Though the placement cell of Hansraj is active and brings companies and NGOs but not many students get placed from my course. Placements depend on individual skills but mostly students pursue higher studies or government exams, they are not very dependent on college placement at least for my course.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is satisfactory at Hansraj. It has a library auditorium, sports ground, badminton court, 5 food courts, etc. All classrooms, canteen, auditorium, badminton court, and library have AC. But some cons are that they are always some construction work going on which can be a little disturbing but overall the infrastructure is nice.

Faculty: Professors in the history department are supportive and always encourage analytical thinking rather than just learning from textbooks. However not every teacher is like this, some teachers just focus on textbook concepts and learning. Talking about exams 4 CGPA is the passing grade for exams. The exams aren't very different you just have to focus on the key concept and be clear with your chapters.

Other: My favourite place in our college is the college library. All study material is present there and it is a great place to focus completely. I also love the garden near the canteen which is also very peaceful.

Hansraj College is best because of its experienced faculty and diverse crowd.

Placements: As I am reviewing the course of History Hons, there are not as many placements since it is a humanities subject. But I think that a person can easily get a job in any ministry if he or she applies. More than 40 percent of students get internships from my course. Around 45 percent are placed in my course.

Infrastructure: The internet availability is very good, and Wi-Fi is also very fast throughout the college. The system of the library is very good and easy to use. There are also a vast number of books in the library of Hansraj College. The hostel for girls is currently open, and the boys’ hostel is under construction. The food in the canteen is very good, tasty, hygienic, and also cost-friendly.

Faculty: The faculty of the college is very good and very helpful. All of them are knowledgeable and highly qualified. The course curriculum is very relevant. The semester exams are moderate, not too easy nor too hard. The passing criteria is 40 percent in both theory and practical.

Other: I choose this course because I have an interest in History and want to create my career in UPSC. I don’t think there is much scope for improvement in my course. As we all know, DU is known for its fests, so Hansraj also holds its annual fest known as Confluence, which is one of the famous fests of Delhi University. Also, the campus and its surroundings are very green. After rain, the campus feels like a green heaven. Connectivity is very good by DTC buses and metro. The nearest metro station is Vishwavidyalaya.

Review of Hansraj College, University of Delhi.

Placements: The placement in our college is spectacular and attracts many students nationwide. There was 90% placement last year. The average package was 7 Lacs. The highest being 9 LPA and the lowest being 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Accenture, TCS, and EY. Top roles offered are BPS, Finance, and Marketing.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided are top-notch. There are air-conditioned libraries, laboratories, cafeterias and classrooms. The entire campus has Wi-Fi. So it is very comfortable for students. The hostel is very affordable and comfortable. The mess food is amazing.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, approachable and friendly. They are highly educated. They teach us about placements, connections and networking as well. The curriculum is very relevant. The difficulty level of exams is mid. There are a total of 6 semesters and 6 mid-semester exams.

Other: The course fee is 1.59 LPA for 3 years. Feelings increase by 2 thousand every year. I chose this course because I was very passionate about history. The campus is always enlightened with fests and events throughout the entire year. Students are always involved in organising fests and events. There are various clubs and extracurricular activities organised in the college. They should give more study tours for real-life knowledge.

The college has good infrastructure and teachers but placements are low.

Placements: To be honest, there are not many placements available in the college as it is mostly focused on 2-3 courses that get placement. The rest are assisted in arts so no placements. To be honest, about 80-90 students are there in class with 49 reservations too as mandated.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure, I would say it is the best college among DU, ACs are installed in every classroom in full working condition. We have the best infrastructure. Wi-Fi is also available. The quality of food in the mess is subpar but a little expensive as compared to the rest of the college at DU. Overall 5/5 it is.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful. They are knowledgeable and sometimes some teacher do their best even during exam time. They are always polite and helpful. The course is good. I enjoyed it a lot and even though the semester exams are a little bit tough as marking is tough but although good one.
