A Living Dream - St. Stephen's College

The reason to choose this curriculum was that simultaneously two disciplines can be understood with indepth knowledge about them. In respect to the hons course that gives you deep knowledge only about a single subject ba program proved to be efficient and it included two subjects as major and minor. With well learned faculty and curriculum well designed to study the contemporary nation and the world I feel that the course is beneficiary to understand the larger geopolitics going on in the world. With subject knowledge and practical understanding I feel that the course helps us to apply everything practically in the real world which will be beneficial for our future occupational endeavours. Also the difficulty level of examinations are moderate hence it is very easy to crack and score good results. Only one drawback is that the readings provided for the curriculum are somewhat so dense that it overshadows the main gist of the matter otherwise everything is good

St. Stephen's was my dream college from class 12th, after my boards I full fledged devoted myself for cuet and scored extremely well because of which I am in Stephen's as the cutoff is very high in comparison to other colleges of Delhi University. I applied for a few backup colleges as well and I made my way into them as well as my scores were pretty good in cuet examination but as I got into Stephen's I really didn't bother to look for other colleges. My overall admission procedure was smooth yet straining as I had to appear for Cuet examination only after few months of my boards examination which I felt was quite beneficial as the syllabus was crystal clear hence no extra efforts were put to prepare something different for cuet as the syllabus was the same as 12th class curriculum, as I was already preparing from class 12th hence I had studied my subject in such depth that everything was afresh in my mind, I just have to brush it up. Also as cuet is objective based paper therefore remembering minute details and information is very necessary and important and from being humanities stream the examination and the examiner not only wants to check ur bookish knowledge but also the current knowledge about the country and world hence it is very important to be aware about the current knowledge as well. All these strategies helped me to make my way into what is known as one of the most prestigious institutions of the country that is St. Stephen's

The faculty to student ratio is equivalent and well managed, the faculties are well learned and knowledgeable with proficient knowledge in their discipline the faculty does not limit themselves to the syllabus but goes beyond the syllabus to give indepth knowledge to the students for their future endeavours. The faculties are available to students at all times either through physical meets or through online mood but they are readily available to help the students in every aspect of their academics. The examination system is based on semester wise examinations and the exams are easy to crack if you are aware of the subject knowledge, also as the subject curriculum is contemporary and easy to relate it helps the students to easily crack the examination with a 0.1% of failure ratios
