St Stephen's College M.Sc Chemistry: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Admission is through CUET-PG 2026 conducted by NTA. Candidates register on the NTA portal, appear in the Chemistry paper, and then register on DU’s CSAS-PG portal to fill college preferences. General category candidates are allotted purely on CUET-PG scores. Christian minority candidates must also apply separately on the college portal and are evaluated with an 85 to 15 CUET-interview split.

Ans. The Chemistry department regularly arranges summer internships for students at institutions including IISc Bangalore, IITs, BARC, TIFR Mumbai, NCL Pune, and JNCASR Bangalore. Research areas pursued by the department include Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis, Computational Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Materials Sciences, and Green and Sustainable Technologies. The Chemistry Society runs regular seminars and guest lecture series.

Ans. Graduates typically pursue PhD programmes at IISc, IITs, TIFR, and international universities in the UK, USA, Europe, and Japan. CSIR-UGC NET-JRF and GATE Chemistry are the key qualifying exams for research fellowships. Some graduates also join pharma companies, chemical industries, and government organisations such as DRDO, BARC, and the CSIR network.

Ans. The annual fee for general category students is INR 29,111, comprising a DU academic fee of INR 11,551 and a college fee of INR 17,560. The total two-year fee is INR 58,222. SC/ST/EWS students pay INR 28,895 per year. These figures are based on the 2025-26 fee notification.

Ans. The department combines a rigorous curriculum covering emerging fields like Computational Methods and Molecular Modelling, Biochemistry, and Analytical Methods with consistent access to national research lab internships. The Chemistry Society’s active programming and the mentoring environment of a constituent college with NIRF rank 3 standing provide a research culture that is difficult to replicate at affiliated colleges.

Ans. No. The college provides on-campus residential accommodation to roughly one-third of its student body across all programmes. Allocation is competitive and not guaranteed. Students from outside Delhi are advised to arrange alternative housing in advance before joining.
