Established in 1899, Hindu College completes 124 years of its existence this year, and is driven by its new motto of 'Steered by the past, moulding the future. The most sought-after institution for humanities, it offers 19 undergraduate courses in various arts streams.

Both during and after the Covid-19 pandemic, the college ensured that its students continue to receive quality education. After the pandemic, the college welcomed its students back on campus with a series of departmental orientation lectures. However, it continues to use a variety of pedagogical practices such as blended learning, flipped classrooms and audio-visual media to ensure that the innovation made possible by online teaching during the pandemic-induced lockdown continues to be followed. For that, reading material and resources are made available on the online student portal. The college also ensured that remedial classes be taken and knowledge sessions be held to address any perceived gaps in students' learning and education.
