Supportive faculty members, vibrant campus, and enriching english curriculum.
Placements: I pursued B.A. (Hons) English at Maitreyi College. Around 20-30% of students from my batch were placed, as many opted for higher studies or competitive exams. The highest package was around 6 LPA, while the average was about 3 LPA to 4 LPA. Top recruiters included TCS, Wipro, and a few publishing houses. Nearly 40% of students got internships in content writing, editing, NGOs, and startups like Internshala, The Sprint, and Outlook. Roles like content creator, copywriter, and editorial assistant were common. College placement cell was active and helpful, especially for students who actively participated in workshops and skill-building activities.
Infrastructure: Maitreyi College offered a peaceful academic environment with well-lit classrooms, a great library with rich literary resources, and good Wi-Fi access. While specific labs were not needed for English. The seminar hall and digital classrooms support presentations and events well. The library was spacious and perfect for study hours. Although the college did not provide an in-house hostel, students find nearby PGs with decent facilities. Canteen served hygienic and budget-friendly food. Medical facilities were basic but the response was there in emergencies. Sports facilities were available for games like basketball, cricket, and yoga. Students were encouraged to participate in college sports events.
Faculty: Faculty members in the English department at Maitreyi College were highly qualified, supportive, and passionate about literature. Most teachers bring deep academic insight and encourage open discussions, making classes interactive. The curriculum was updated, covering both classical and modern texts, literary theory, and writing skills, which helped in building critical thinking, though not strictly. It was industry-ready. Exams were moderately difficult, students who attend lectures and stay consistent generally perform well. The pass percentage was high, and internal assessment also contributed to the final grade, reducing pressure during final exams. Overall, the academic atmosphere was motivating and student-friendly.
Other: I chose B.A. (Hons) English at Maitreyi College because of my interest in literature and the college's good reputation under Delhi University. The course encouraged creativity, analysis, and communication. Fests like Rhapsody were lively, and the campus crowd was diverse and welcoming. The college was well-connected via metro and bus routes. The surroundings were safe and peaceful. Extracurricular activities were active, with various societies to join. However, more industry exposure or career guidance could improve the course. Overall, the experience was academically enriching and personally fulfilling.

Best girls college in Delhi University.
Placements: In my college, I think not a lot of students got many placements, but 5% of students got placements every year, and the highest goal of 8 Lacs, and the minimum offer of 3 Lacs now. The companies, for example, right now are Microsoft, etc. And the percentage is also very good.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college is really very good. The labs, the Wi-Fi, the library, the ground, and all the other services are very good. The infrastructure is overall very good, and the cleanliness of my college is absolutely admirable. With that, the canteen food is an issue because we don't like the canteen food a lot because of its quality. Except for that, all the services are very good, whether it comes to sports, medicine, or games. There are also many opportunities provided to the students.
Faculty: In my college, the teachers are very helpful and very knowledgeable. The teaching techniques, and the teaching quality, are so good. They are very approachable, very helpful, and very supportive to each and every student in my course. For English Honours, the study is a very famous course at Delhi University. The semester exam depends on how much you have got in your CA and how much you have written in your theoretical exam.
Other: I chose English Honours, and I chose this course because of my own interest. The best thing about this course is its diversity. The one thing I would like to improve is the number of books; it can be less. Except for that, the extracurricular activities and the crowd are so amazing and so friendly.

Maitreyi College is really nice.
Placements: 70% students were placed. The average CTC offered at the placement fair was 4.5 LPA with the highest package 5.6 LPA by Bajaj Capital. Companies like Deloitte and Lenskart also recruit students from our college. We get offered 100+ internships, and in every year for every course, they are both paid and unpaid.
Infrastructure: The library is very well furnished and provides so many books. We have an e-library too with more than 30 laptops for students with internet facilities for accessibility for everyone. There are both worn-out and new kinds of classrooms, so that depends on which course the student is in. The old canteen was very good, but the new one is not so, depending on the tenure.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable, also they are very much approachable in terms of curriculum-based doubts and if we want to talk about anything else. The course curriculum is average and not very practical, and not boring too. You must have interest in the subject. The semester exams are easy if you study properly.
Other: The events and fests conducted by the college are very good, also the campus and the garden are really beautiful.
