College is a dream place.

Placements: There is a placement cell on the campus. It is a student-led body that, from its inception, has invited top companies including McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, etc. The companies from time to time conduct pre-placement talks to inform students about the placement procedures and what the company does, hence giving students a clear idea of what the corporate world holds for them. Usually, the placements are bagged by economics and mathematics students but in recent times, it is an observed fashion that students from English and B.A. program are also getting placed.

Infrastructure: The whole college building is divided into different blocks comprising the hostel area and sports complex. The major part of the college is that it is spread over 43 acres of land. Classrooms are well laid out and organised into science and arts blocks. Science block consists of classrooms and labs for chemistry and physics. They have their own library as well. Coming to the arts block, the block consists of various classrooms including administrative block and library along with study areas for students. The campus consists of two canteens, one in the arts block and another in science.

Faculty: Faculty members of the college are renowned over Delhi University circuit with professors ranging from JNU and IITs. Hence, the faculty members are a group of learner individuals who have done remarkable work in the field. Teachers from time to time go for a sabbatical so as to enrich their knowledge fully with the use of PPT. The faculty tries to render the best knowledge possible. In addition, the classroom ratio is such that each teacher can contribute to the individual growth of students.

Other: To be honest, college is not just a place of study, it is a home away from home. It is a home to many different people from different cultures, regions, and backgrounds but all come together in this shared space to cherish the diversity of the country. Stephen's College is a hub of diversity. College also supports extra-curricular activities with societies that range from departmental to cultural to educational and sports. The annual fest Harmony gives every student of chance to live the reality of diversity and inclusivity.

A very Stephanian review of the college.

Placements: Placement options are poor, especially for people from courses like history, English, and Sanskrit. College has a placement cell which is very helpful when it comes to aiding in placements and internships. Most of the placements are catered towards economics students.

Infrastructure: The college is well-equipped with facilities such as smart classrooms, Wi-Fi, and sprint-out centers within the campus. The café and the dhaba within the college premises promise fresh and tasty food at affordable rates. Mess facility is available for students who have opted for on-campus residence.

Faculty: St Stephen's College is one of the best colleges in the country in order to pursue a degree in liberal arts. The faculty members are well-qualified, resourceful, and approachable. The faculty-to-student ratio is comfortable, but the lack of permanent faculty members may cause trouble for mentorship.

Other: For the given course, St. Stephen's is one of the best options in the country, so why not? The college is relatively more strict when compared to the rest of the colleges in the university, which I think can be a little liberal. The annual fest of Stephen's is Harmony, an artistic and cultural extravaganza.

Strong Academics and Supportive Faculty with Vibrant Campus Life, but More Industry-Relevant Focus

Placements: If you’re considering joining the BA Hons Sanskrit program at St. Stephen’s, placement-wise, it’s quite promising. Approximately 60-70% of students secure placements, and the average salary package ranges from 4-12 lakhs per annum. Realistically, you can expect to earn around 7-8 lakhs. The program attracts top recruiters from esteemed organizations such as NCERT, NGOs, and publishing houses. Additionally, about half of the class lands internships with renowned companies like ICCR and other cultural organizations. Graduates typically secure roles in teaching, content writing, research, or working with cultural institutions.

Infrastructure: The facilities at St. Stephen's are pretty good. The classrooms are well-maintained, and the Wi-Fi is reliable enough for research and general use. The college library is one of the best parts. It got a great collection of books, including plenty of resources for Sanskrit studies, and it's a nice space to study or just hang out. As for the hostel, the rooms are decent, nothing fancy, but comfortable. The food in the mess and canteen is pretty standard—not amazing, but it gets the job done. You'll get a mix of options, and they try to keep it varied. Medical facilities are on campus, so if you need basic healthcare, it's taken care of. Sports and games are a big deal at Stephen's, with plenty of options to get involved in. There's a gym, basketball court, football field, and more if you're into sports. Overall, the infrastructure supports both academics and extracurriculars well.

Faculty: The teachers in the Sanskrit department at St. Stephen's are very helpful, well-qualified, and definitely knowledgeable. Most of them are experts in their fields and approachable if you need any guidance. The teaching quality is solid, with a good balance between lectures and discussions. The curriculum is well-structured and gives you a deep understanding of the subject. While it focuses more on traditional and academic knowledge, it still offers some relevance to modern applications, especially if you're looking into research, teaching, or cultural work. That said, it may not be as directly industry-focused as some other courses, but it does prepare you for further studies or specialized roles. The semester exams aren't too tough if you've been keeping up with the classes and reading, but they do require a thorough understanding of the material. The pass percentage is generally high, around 85-90%, so most students do well if they put in the effort.

Other: I chose the BA Hons Sanskrit course because I've always had a strong interest in classical languages and culture. Plus, St. Stephen's has a reputation for academic excellence, so it felt like the right place to pursue this passion. The best things about the course are the in-depth exploration of Sanskrit literature, philosophy, and history, and the fact that the professors are really supportive and knowledgeable. It's also a small, tight-knit department, so you get more personalized attention. That said, I do wish the course had more modern applications or connections to industries outside of academia, like language technology or even more practical research projects. More workshops or internships related to contemporary fields would be great additions. As for campus life, Stephen's is famous for its fests and events. Crossroads is the biggest fest, and it's a lot of fun. The campus crowd is diverse and engaging, with lots of people involved in extracurriculars. The campus itself is beautiful, with old buildings and greenery all around. Connectivity to the rest of Delhi is great, as you're close to metro stations and bus stops. There are plenty of scholarships available too, especially for students who need financial assistance. And if you're into extracurriculars, Stephen's has everything—from sports teams to debating societies, theater groups, and more. There's always something happening on campus!

Really good and reputed college, don't miss the chance!

Placements: Half of the class was placed in consulting, investment banking, and marketing fields. The highest package is 23 LPA, and the lowest is 10 LPA. Many students got internships from my class, like at DE Shaw, JSW, and many more companies. The top roles are analyst and investment banking analyst.

Infrastructure: The course is good, with a lot to learn from good teachers. The infrastructure is okayish, and renovations are ongoing in college. Wi-Fi doesn’t work that great, but classrooms are getting renovated. The college hostel is fine, though not that great, and the mess food is adjustable.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, with good teaching quality. Yes, the course curriculum is perfect; it makes students fit for work with great knowledge. Semester exams are pretty easy, as Delhi University sets them, and the pass percentage was ninety-nine percent this time.

Review of St. Stephen's College, University of Delhi.

Placements: The placement cell of St. Stephen's College is quite active. They provide internship offers throughout the year. You get to choose from a plethora of options. By the time you are in your final year of graduation, you tend to think about the next step, and that's when placements come in. Placements in St. Stephen's College are quite good and inclusive of all courses. It's just that those from mathematics and economics backgrounds have a better chance of getting placed than others. The majority of companies come looking for the position of analysts etc. English Honours students don't quite fit in. Most of them don't really opt for placements as they continue their higher education. In my batch of B.A. (Hons) English. None of them took college placements except one girl. However, if you are really looking for one, you will get companies like Inshorts, Yokurt, etc., which are usually looking for content writers and offer placements. The maximum salary offered is 5-6 lacs per annum. You should know content writing is a very low-paid job. If you wish to change your stream and have done internships in multiple MNCs, then the choices for you really widen because we also have companies like Boston Legal, Deloitte, McKinsey etc. The usual job positions offered for English Honours students specifically are usually content writing, copywriting, editing, and proofreading.

Infrastructure: Whatever facilities you can think of, the college has it. It has Wi-Fi, labs, IRC, classrooms, Stephen's hospital, junior common room, senior common room, mess, library, sports ground, basketball field, lawns, hostels, everything. Hostels are given only for outstation students. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. There are two cafes in college which provide basic food. It has only improved over the years and now includes even momos and burgers. There is a photocopy shop for students and even SBI Bank and ATM on the campus. The classrooms are mostly air-conditioned. You have beautiful lawns to sit in during winters and pet the dogs. The lush-green environment is truly mesmerizing.

Faculty: St Stephen's houses one of the most qualified faculty members of the country. One of the best things about this college is the student-professor relationship. They are ever-ready to guide you, not just in your professional career but also in your personal lives. The pedagogy is a truly in-depth, knowledge-enriching exercise. We have a system of tutorials where students meet in small groups with their teachers and discuss books or anything outside the syllabus. This helps cover more the what's prescribed. The course curriculum which St Stephen's follows is the one prescribed by Delhi University. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but it's mostly well-rounded and contemporary.

Other: I chose this course because of my love for studying English Literature, and I truly had the time of my life here. Some papers which I studied in the course of 3 years were quite phenomenal. The teachers, the society activities, the discussions with academicians called from outside helps in having an overall development. In the course of three years, I met Montek Singh Ahluwalia, P. Chidambaram, Akhil Katyal and many famous personalities. You will get ample opportunities to take part in debate competitions, paper presentations, and research writing. The college offers scholarships to the best. Those who perform well academically have a high chance of getting scholarships. We have a fest in March. It's popularly known as Harmony. We have games, dance, prom nights, DJ nights, etc., during this time. One sad thing about this is that it's a closed fest, meaning outsiders aren't allowed. So, it's boring. But if you are someone who hates the crowd, then Harmony is your fest. After three years, you will be sent off from college with a graduation ceremony and graduation dinner. You will be every bit nostalgic and grateful for having studied in one of the most premier institutions of India.

One of the best college of north campus DU.

Placements: I don't know much about placements as I am the first year student but I have worked with campus placement cell so I know few of the top recruiters. Name of few to recruiting companies are McKenzie and company, TCS, BCC, Teach for India, Times of India etc.

Infrastructure: College infrastructure is quite good. Its above average, not best, but quite good. Currently our classes are online, so cant say much about hostel and college infrastructure but as much I have heard of it, its above average and its better than most of the du colleges.

Faculty: Course faculty is one of the best in all over India. And course curriculum is also apt as required. B.A. programme course is not a professional course so don't expect much higher placements but for civil services exam and other government exams this course is best.
