The faculty-to-student ratio in our course (History) was 1 teacher for every 60 students. If it was an optional subject then 1 teacher for 25-30 students. The classes were of reasonable strength but always interactive depending on the specific teacher's methodology. Students always got an opportunity to discuss doubts in tutorials after doing in-depth reading assigned to us each week in small groups of 4-5 students. The faculty was top notch having degrees from S-tier universities across the world and numerous publications under their belt.

The faculty members here are very well qualified and learned and often present genuine interest and passion in their feilds of study, the average student to teaher ratio is 1:15 as often the lecture and tutorials are taken by separate members of faculty and hence the teachers are able to focus on the students individually and on a personal level. Most of the faculty are in one way or the other former students of the college or have associated with the college for a very long time and hence it allings with the rich stephanian culture. The teachers are very approachable be it a junior faculty mener or the HOD they are always open to discuus, talk and enage with the students.

The faculty members are very well versed with their subjects. All of them have done the Doctorate of Philosophy (PHD) in their respective subjects and many of them have even done more courses after the PHD. The faculty-to-student ratio is very good too. The teachers also serve as mentors. They are always ready to reply to your queries whether it be regarding education, academics or your personal life.
Generally good. However, the standard was not as would be in the university department. The faculties had themselves graduated from college and univ dept - were aware of the requirements. Generally was acceptable for practicals. There was little interaction for the theory.
All the faculties are very hardworking and knowledgeable. I had herd before that in college the Professors would not even mind whether the students are attentive in the class or not, but here the scenario is completely different. In this college most of the teachers ask questions to the students who are siting in the last bench(I can say with all the experience because I'm one of the back benchers :)) ), this shows the work ethic that these professors endure and one more thing that they don't take leave that often so we gotta study almost everyday. Each professor has almost 60-70 lectures scheduled per class every semester.The average age of the professors would be around 38. Most of them have a Masters degree and all the HOD's and senior professors are PhD in their respective subject. We also have tutorials in which if a student could not clear his/her doubt in the class then they have a chance to clear his/her doubts. In tutorial the class is divided into smaller groups so that it would be easy for the professor to focus on each student.The whole Delhi University Curriculum is not industry-specefic so we cannot expect the professors to discuss on that, but still they try to teach and ask us to develop soft skills, as those will be used for rest of our life.
The lecturers were quite friendly and co-operative. They were reasonably experienced. Some of the the lecturers were Phd. holders and well experienced. The were quite well versed in their subjects like our Math professor was very smart and intelligent and his delivery to the students was very effective.
The half-a-dozen lecturers that taught us were young, energetic and erudite. The average age was 38 and most of them were PhDs with good knowledge of the subject. Some of them were authorities in their field and commanded great respect in the academic world.
College provides the best staff not just for the senior lecturers but also for the junior lecturers. Basically colleges in North India prefers to teach in Hindi language but due to the diversity in the college they only choose to teach in English and make the students excel in both the languages.
Faculty is the college is really genius. There are many prominent professors in the college and their way of teaching is really good. The clarity over any topic is necessary for any subject so they clear our all doubts and Most of faculties have done PhD and even post doctorate too. Sometimes teacher's take surprise test so that they will examine students.

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.
