No On-Campus Hostel
The college does not provide hostel accommodation. You'll need to arrange private PGs or flats in nearby South Delhi areas like Kalkaji or Govindpuri.
The verdict
Good fit
Strong NAAC ‘A’ credentials, a tight-knit cohort of 46, and a total fee under ₹55k make this a steal for a DU degree. The curriculum covers lit theory, media, and creative writing. Placements are moderate (40%), and there's no hostel, but the DU tag and South Delhi location offset that for local or independent students.
