Admission to colleges affiliated with the University of Delhi, like Hindu College, is based on 12th-grade marks, with an online application process starting in May. Courses such as BSc (Hons) Physics require marks in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and sometimes English. Cut-off percentages vary; for instance, a 96% was needed for Hindu College's BSc (Hons) Physics in 2017. Document verification is essential, with details available on the university's website. Hindu College ranks second nationally, offering a strong physics curriculum and supportive faculty, despite some administrative concerns.
The annual fee for Physics Honors is about INR 19,000 to 20,000, while Computer Science costs around INR 50,000. Fees range from INR 20,000 to 22,000, generally affordable for middle-class students but potentially expensive for economically weaker backgrounds. Facilities include gyms, libraries, and labs. The placement cell, Disha, facilitates recruitment mainly for commerce and economics students, with companies like Bain and Deloitte. Science students have limited placements but can pursue internships with NIT or IIT.
Notable alumni include Imtiaz Ali and Arjun Rampal. The college offers scholarships like the INSPIRE scholarship (INR 1.2 lakh) and government awards (INR 60,000 for top state students). Students with family incomes below INR 4 lakh can get a full fee refund. Scholarships range from INR 5,000 to 10,000 based on merit and need. Tuition is about INR 20,000 to 24,000 annually, with additional hostel and living expenses for non-Delhi students.
The college also offers 19 prizes and 23 scholarships managed by a staff council. While tuition is affordable, living costs in Delhi can vary.
