HANSRAJ COLLEGE New Delhi No. 3 (2025) up from No.6 (2020)

With one of the highest CGPAs (Cumulative Grade Point Average) among Delhi University colleges and a legacy of academic rigour, Hansraj has steadily worked its way towards scientific and interdisciplinary excellence.

Founded in 1948 by the DAV College Managing Committee in memory of Mahatma Hansraj, the institution has, over the past 77 years, educated millions across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Science, Commerce and Arts. But it is in the sciences that the college has built a formidable reputation—combining traditional academic depth with a strong culture of research.
