No On-Campus Hostel
Deshbandhu College does not offer hostel facilities. You'll need to sort private accommodation—PGs or flats around South Delhi—so budget accordingly.
The verdict
Worth considering
A solid DU economics degree with an unbeatable fee structure and respectable NIRF standing. The trade-offs: no hostel, a 48% placement conversion rate, and you'll need to hustle for internships yourself. Pick this if you want the DU tag and a true econ foundation without a six-figure fee burden—but keep a backup plan for housing and campus life.
