Good crowd, faculty, societies, but do not expect much with the infrastructure.
Placements: Placements are handled by Placement Cell, which brings in companies for internships and full-time roles. Apart from that, there is another internship cell that often works together with them. Most students from my department pursue higher studies or go for civil service exams, very few choose to work right after their Bachelor's. If they do, it is usually in sectors of political consulting in firms, think tanks, research, or editorial roles.
Infrastructure: Very below-average infra. Wi-Fi is inconsistent throughout campus and barely reaches the second floor of the library. Most networks don't work except for Airtel here, even my DU network is not functional. Water is quite chlorinated, sanitary napkin dispensers often don't have pads, but the canteen and library are good, though. Canteen is quite affordable.
Faculty: Faculty is well-read, knowledgeable, and qualified, and the course is quite theoretical and reading-heavy, more focused on academia. There is a good emphasis on critical thinking and independent analysis of scholarly works. Students are expected to do the reading on their own rather than rely heavily on AI, notes, or UPSC materials. Semester exams are doable if you attend classes and keep up with what is going on in the classes. Attendance is strict, requiring 67 percent, though societies (that you're active in) help you out sometimes with attendance benefits.

Overall, satisfied and recommended.
Placements: Although there are not many placements compared to the Economics and Commerce departments, there is a fair share of placements in political consultancy companies or think tanks such as NITI Aayog. Nation with NaMo is a sought-after placement. Internships with some government agencies also exist.
Infrastructure: The hostel facilities are good overall. Wi-Fi connectivity, infrastructure, and lawns are good. The campus is really spacious and green. The boys' hostel is under construction. The only issue with the girls' hostel is that it does not accommodate many students, and very few are accommodated.
Faculty: The faculty is good, with experienced teachers who have been teaching for several years and are well-established academicians in this field. Interacting with them individually has been very interesting. Faculty members from other departments are also very good, such as those from the History department.
Other: There are very good fests, such as Suruchi (Diwali fest), and campus activities such as MECCA (our annual fest) and the Political Student Parliament. Societies and clubs are awesome! Masque, the English dramatics society of Hindu College, has been one of my favourites.

I am dissatisfied, but if you want, you can make it really good.
Placements: In B.A. Political Science, you cannot really expect placement from a non-private college unfortunately. But you will get many internships. It's not necessary that you won't get a job, but it's a bit unlikely for Pol. sc, in my opinion/, unless you straight away go into HR or something like that.
Infrastructure: For the fee that is taken, the infrastructure is poor for disabled students and average at best for able-bodied people in our college. Our classroom has an AC, but it doesn't even work. Honestly, there are a lot of things we just are not able to utilise.
Faculty: The best part of the college is the easy exams and the good professors. You will find at least one professor you really look up to and find inspiration and competition. They'll help you grow and find your way into academia if you weren't in it already.
Other: The greatest thing is the crowd! It is amazing. You will find your people in someone, and it's so vibrant here.

A definitive review of Hindu College.
Placements: The placements are pretty good for the Commerce and Economics departments, but for humanities courses like Political Science, you have to work a lot to get good placements. Most of the placements in these courses are concentrated in think tanks, NGOs, etc.
Infrastructure: I live in the hostel and it is really good, the food is pretty nice, and there is air conditioning in every room. The bathrooms are communal but well-maintained. As for the college, the infrastructure is one of the best in DU, featuring a sports complex, auditorium, etc.
Faculty: Faculty quality depends on the year and the paper we are studying. Sometimes we get good teachers who are passionate about teaching, and sometimes we get teachers who might not even teach well. The teachers generally are accommodating to students' issues and special needs, but sometimes some teachers might not be as good.

The Political Science department is nice.
Placements: Placements in Political Science are pretty low compared to the Commerce and Economics departments, but a lot of people do get placed in think tanks, NGOs, and educational organizations. The average package varies from course to course, but generally, the median package is around 10 to 12 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good; most of our classes have air conditioning installed and have projectors too. The ground is very huge, and there is even a basketball court. A sports complex is present with a gym inside. An auditorium is present which is very huge and is very well-maintained.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified, genuinely enjoy teaching, and seem passionate about their area of instruction. The curriculum is also pretty relevant in this day and age, and the teachers encourage critical thinking. The exam papers are pretty difficult in my course, but they are doable if you attend classes regularly.
Other: Fests are very nice, with a Diwali Mela happening and our annual fest, Mecca, which features artists like Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal Bhardwaj performing.

A vibrant campus with great infrastructure.
Placements: I am from the 2027 batch of B.A. Hons Political Science at Hindu College University of Delhi. The placements for our course are not that great since most of the students usually prepare for UPSC or rather go for higher studies. Still, there are placement societies in our college and people do get internships and research opportunities.
Infrastructure: Our classes are held in the New Academic Block building of Hindu College and so the infrastructure is decent and well maintained having all above mentioned facilities. The hostel is great in terms of all the facilities food quality and sports though getting a seat is tough and the fees are a bit higher.
Faculty: The faculty for Political Science is knowledgeable and most importantly approachable. The curriculum is quite theoretical and focuses more on academic understanding than practical application. Rest exams are manageable if you keep up with reading PYQs and notes.
Other: I chose Political Science as I have always been interested in understanding how society and governance work and eventually the best part about the course becomes the open discussions and diversity we get from our classmates and professors. Apart from merely keeping it book centric I do wish there were more practical components like internships and workshops. Hindu College has a vibrant and amazing campus vibe with active societies and great fests and such a lively crowd. The location is well connected with other college campuses and the surroundings are safe. Scholarships and ECA opportunities are good too.

Absolutely satisfied with the college except campus life.
Placements: The placements offered are from top companies including DE Shaw, EY, ZS Associates, Uniqlo, United Airlines, and many more. The roles offered have a very diverse range, including consulting roles, data and market analyst, sales and marketing, and strategy analyst in finance too. The internship cell is also very active in the college. A large percentage of students get their placements.
Infrastructure: There is only a girls' hostel. The boys' hostel is under construction and would be ready in the next one or two years. The infrastructure of the classes is not up to the mark. You will get ACs in the Commerce department. Wi-Fi is provided on the campus. The canteen is quite affordable and of decent quality.
Faculty: The course subject teachers are very knowledgeable and qualified. They are also quite lawful and helpful. It has also included SEC, VAC, and GE in our curriculum, which helps us on average. The teachers put a lot of burden. They are good enough and likable.

A semester at Hindu: My honest review of my first preference at college.
Placements: Political Science students from Hindu usually go for higher studies, mostly in JNU and other reputed colleges. Placement opportunities are great with students getting into prestigious fellowships such as the Mukherjee fellowship. The placement opportunities are one of the best in the DU circuit. Placements start coming in early. Internship opportunities are also huge.
Infrastructure: College has many places to sit and study or chat. The library has great computers and Wi-Fi. Though network or mobile data rarely comes around the campus. The hostel for girls is fully safe, and boys' hostel is, however, still under construction. The food in the hostel is provided on time and is healthy. The canteen food is also good. My absolute favourite place is the corners in the library on the third floor, where we can sit beside windows and study while seeing birds and having the benefit of sunshine in winter.
Faculty: Faculty members for the political science course are great. We learn to think in quite critical and analytical ways about things, and if we love the subject, it is worth taking it up. The preparation for exams usually happens a maximum of a month before.
Other: The campus crowd is quite competitive, and everyone brings new perspectives into play. Mostly, students are involved in society life. At Hindu. There are almost 60 societies that are quite happening, and there's always something happening here. Scholarship options are also multiple in Hindu college, especially the Raj Bhargava scholarship, which is offered to 2 students each year.
