University of Delhi

The University of Delhi (DU), established in 1922, is India’s premier central university, accredited with the highest NAAC ‘A++’ grade (CGPA 3.55) valid till 2029. Recognised by the UGC and consistently ranked among the nation’s best institutions, DU was placed 5th in the NIRF University Rankings 2025, reflecting its academic excellence, research output, and graduate outcomes.

What truly sets Delhi University apart is its unique collegiate structure of 90+ affiliated colleges spread across four vibrant campuses — North Campus (home to iconic institutions like Hindu College, Miranda House, SRCC and St. Stephen’s), South Campus (LSR, Sri Venkateswara, ARSD), East Campus, and the West Campus — each offering a distinct academic and cultural ecosystem in the heart of the national capital.

DU offers over 500 programmes across 16 faculties through the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), with specialisations in Arts, Humanities, Commerce, Science, Law, Management, Social Sciences, Computer Science, and Medicine. Admissions to most UG and PG courses are conducted through CUET (UG/PG), making the university accessible to students from every corner of India. Its flagship institutions dominate national rankings — Hindu College and Miranda House were ranked India’s top two colleges in NIRF 2025, with ten DU colleges in the national top 20.

Despite its elite standing, DU is renowned for its remarkably affordable fee structure, ranging from just a few hundred rupees to around ₹2 lakh for most courses — delivering exceptional return on investment. Combined with strong placement records (SRCC, Hindu, LSR, and FMS Delhi attract recruiters like McKinsey, BCG, Google, and Goldman Sachs), a powerful alumni network, vibrant student societies, and internship exposure in Delhi’s corporate hub, Delhi University remains the dream destination for lakhs of aspirants every year.
