St stephen's

Economics Hons is a tremendous course offered by DU and among all the colleges of DU, the best offered is by St Stephen's. So, first choice though was SRCC but my next choice was always going to be a tie-breaker between the Hindu College and the St, Stephens College....Read More

So I had applied to all colleges in DU, St Xavier's College in Bombay and Ambedkar University Delhi. With some whip of luck I got into JMC, Miranda, Xavier's, AUD and Stephen's. Personally I never imagined I would be getting into Stephen's. The admission process in Stephens during my time had three stages. First one is the cutoff. For my partciular subject the cutoff was 97.8. Then they issue a list of candidates eligible for the interview based on the cutoff. The second stage is the interview where a panel of four or five senior members of the college will rack your brains about different spheres of the subject you have chosen. I had interviews for two subjects History and English. Since I got in English I did not attend the History interview. The final part is the documentation and paying the fees. At this stage it is more of formality except in rare cases where there is an issue with the application or the documentation part....Read More

I had mainly applied in DU colleges as I wasn't much interested in private universities, or colleges in other states. Mine was the first batch to be recruited with the new process through CUET Exams. The novelty and uncertainity therefore influenced the conventional way of thinking about colleges and related decisions. Nevertheless Stephen's was my top choice due to its highest ranking and prestige all over India. The reputation of this college, its course, its faculty and ofcourse the colourful alumnis made me choose this college and course as my first preference. The extremely high competition for admission in this college was what made me hesitant. I had the Christian minority reservation, yet I was unsure if I could get in, Therefore I had applied to other reputed colleges in DU. I had got admission in Kamala Nehru College in South Campus in my first round, and I was satisfied because the college was also excellent. Then I had applied to Stephen's and JMC with my minority quota, and I got into both of the colleges for the desired courses. However I chose Stephen's over JMC, due to the appeal, reputation, and also the location (in the centre of DU North Campus). History Honours is one of the best and most sought after course in Stephen's with its rich faculty. The admission process had changed with the new NEP and CUET in order. Each desiired undergraduate course has its own eligibility criteria with respect to the subjects selceted in Class XII and the subjects one has to choose as papers for CUET. The details are found in the CUET Samarth website. The cutoff for History hons isnt oublicly available. Selection of Christian minority students had 85% for CUET Score and 15% weightage for interviews. Non minorities have 100% weightage from CUET. Students in history largely had CUET Scores ranging from 800-600 out of 800. The admission process was very smooth in general....Read More

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...Read More

Just apply for Minority quota from college site and also give cuet test and you will be called up for a interview by the principal and also respective course faculties and you should give a confident interview through which u can be a member of this college.
