Delhi Campus Life on a Budget

Total program fee is under ₹50K, hostel facilities are available, and scholarships are up for grabs. One of the most wallet-friendly PG options in the capital.

The verdict

Good fit

Perfect if you’re mission-driven about early childhood, inclusive education, and community impact. Lady Irwin’s legacy + rock-bottom fees make it a rare find in Delhi. The trade-off? Modest corporate placement numbers and a narrow, social-sector career track—so skip if you’re chasing high corporate CTCs or a large tech/networking pipeline.
