Ranking
St. Stephen’s College is the best college in India for Science studies, according to India Today’s best colleges for science in 2012.  Another equally awe-inspiring fact is that the college is also the 2nd best college in India for Humanities studies, where it lost out to the prestigious LSR College. The college has held the top spot in the Science rankings since 2010, while continuing to remain in the top 3 for Humanities studies since the same time.
Getting to college
The college is located in the North Campus of Delhi University (DU).  The college is right in the middle of the campus, and is easily discernable, owing to the blue sign boards which show up at regular distances. The closest metro station is ‘Vishwavidyalaya’ on the Yellow Line.  The station is a minute’s walk from the main gate of the campus. The hundreds of cycle rickshaws that ply from the gate of the university and outside every college within the North campus will charge one Rs. 10 to get to the college. The gist is that connectivity is superb.
Infrastructure
The campus of the college is not very different from the campuses of other institutes located in North Campus of Delhi University.  Most of the colleges consist of acres of open gardens surrounding the few buildings, which lie scattered all around campus. The buildings are all red-brick structures, which almost reinvent the ancient feel. Recent renovations have certainly improved the quality of infrastructure, and now the classrooms as well as the library boast of air-conditioners. The campus is also Wi-Fi enabled.
Faculty
Most of the faculty at the college is very well known and senior and junior professors are allotted to each subject.  The teachers are not like the best in the country, which is surprising since the college has been ranked as the top college for Science studies in India.  However, students say that it is more to do with the style of teaching and the innovative approach which sets the faculty apart at St. Stephen’s.
Placement
The Campus Placement Cell or CPC is a student run society which looks into everything under placements.  The cell has enjoyed phenomenal success over the past few years.  Over 25 companies visited campus last year. Recently, a student of St. Stephen’s secured a package of 19.2 lakhs per annum, which was higher than the packages even IIM students secured.
