Below given table shows a comparison between the two of the best colleges under Delhi University to pursue B. Sc (Hons.) in Chemistry. ST. STEPHENS HINDU NIRF RANKING #1 #3 TOTAL FEES (APPROX.) 1.2 LACS 55K ACCREDITED NAAC ‘A’ GRADE NAAC ‘A+’ GRADE Academics: According to previous year, the cut off for admission to Hindu college for B. Sc (hons.) in Chemistry was 96.66% and in St. Stephen's it was 92%. The faculty contingency in both the colleges is very well reputed, dedicated and felicitated having won many recognitions to their name. It is not justified to distinguish between the teachers as all are almost at par with academic qualifications, achievements but are restricted by curriculum and different teaching patterns. Both the colleges organize national conferences and workshops for the holistic development of the students and to gain industry exposure. Placement Opportunities: The key feature which sets Stephen's apart is that when it comes to applying abroad for higher studies or internships or fellowship programmes, a lot of graduates have had the opportunity to do so owing to the scholarships and collaborations with foreign universities like Oxford, Yale and Cambridge. It has a more disciplined and rigorous and calm aura about itself not being as actively a part of the very famous DU fests as compared to other colleges. There are many ongoing research projects funded by SERB and UGC. Top recruiters being Hetero drugs, Emami, Homi Bhaba Centre for Science Education, BCG etc. offering a median salary of around 9LPA. In the Hindu college, the median salary package for B. Sc in Chemistry at offer was 5LPA and average placement rate was low as most of the graduates sought to opt for higher studies. The top recruiters were DE Shaw, KPMG, IndiaBulls amongst others. Organizations like Empower India, Philip Morris International, Outlook rolled out internship opportunities too.

It is of an affordable range in my pov.Other courses have different fees which is usually less than 27k (for Arts) as they don't have to pay lab fees.There are so many scholarships provided and the one I am aware is the Inspire Scholarship for students who received 95 percent and above in cbse 12th board exam.

Just Hindu things

Hii... I am Tapaswini Mohapatra a student of hindu college. Being a hinduite I feel that the fees is affordable...but the fees doesn't include the category...like a student of minor category should also pay the same amount as paid by the general student. And there is no lab fees in particular and any destruction of lab apparatus fees is not applicable on us. About the scholarship there are 4 scholarship for chemistry honours student which are yearly.

Hindu: the best college.

The fee structure of my course in hindu college is neither less nor expensive. It is quite affordable for a middle class family for annual year. The fee of all courses is nearly same. And from the time i got my admission here . The fee remains same . It neither increases nor decreases. Hindu College offers 19 prizes and 23 scholarships for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. These include merit-based awards like the Bhasin Memorial Prize for M.A. History students, as well as need-based scholarships such as the Premvati Raghubir Singh Scholarships for financially needy students. Many scholarships focus on academic excellence in specific subjects or are awarded on a merit-cum-need basis.

Sharing is caring

Well fees depends on colleges as well as courses mostly super affordable, for Science courses fees does not go above Rs 23000 excluding examination fees which is around 1100 for each semester. Talking about placement bsc doesn't have any scope in it but if one is doing eco honours pr Bcom from good colleges like Hindu, Srcc etc chances are quite good for on campus placement.

"A Home Away from Home: My Experience at HINDU COLLEGE

Likes

The quality of food provided by canteen, Flexibility in course selection and academic programs

High tuition fees and student debt, Bureaucratic administrative processes

In my college, the bsc courses have a 20000 and above annual tution fee, which is a huge amount for poor students because it's not a fee for management seats. for the 3-year bsc course, that's need nearly a 70000 fee for a student. But there are scholarship Programs for students that provide complete cashback on fee The campus has many campus interviews and job opportunities it's a positive side of the college
