Heads up: patchy data & no hostel
Our confidence score on this programme is 40%, so treat placement stats as a starter pack, not gospel. There's no on-campus hostel, but scholarships are available. Strongly recommend talking to current students before you commit.
The verdict
Worth considering
If you live in Delhi (or can sort out PG accommodation), this is a budget-friendly, reputable DU college for History. The CUET + 85% barrier keeps the peer group solid, and the Archival Studies flavour is a rare plus. Just don't walk in expecting polished placement support or a campus hostel experience.
