Zakir Husain Delhi College, a part of Delhi University, follows the university's standard admission process involving an online application, merit list evaluation, and document submission for fee payment. The college is known for its Faculty of Science, featuring around 26-30 lecturers, most of whom hold or are pursuing doctorates, fostering a supportive and informative learning environment. However, the botany department faced issues with class cancellations affecting syllabus progress. The college maintains a favorable faculty-to-student ratio and provides opportunities for internships and interactive experiences despite some strict faculty members.
The fee structure is affordable, with arts and commerce students paying between Rs. 5000 to Rs. 7000, while science students pay Rs. 12000 to Rs. 15000 due to additional laboratory costs. A refundable security deposit of Rs. 500 is required. Fees can be paid manually or online. As a government institution, the college ensures transparency in fee breakdowns and offers scholarships to OBC, SC, ST, and EWS students, with education loans available.
Placement opportunities are facilitated through an active placement cell, with a job fair and entrepreneurship programs connecting students with companies like Wipro, OYO, and Amazon. Placement drives occur from September to November, with about 70% of students securing jobs, although some reports suggest a lower rate of 20%. Students become eligible for placements in their 5th semester, with internships starting in the 4th semester. The highest package in 2020 ranged from 8 to 12 lakhs, and the average was between 5 to 8 lakhs.
Despite some limitations in on-campus job opportunities and lower salary packages, the college provides a comprehensive education with valuable corporate exposure through its programs and connections.
