No 1: HINDU COLLEGE , New Delhi
5 REASONS WHY IT IS THE BEST Blending a 125-year legacy with future-forward science education, the iconic heritage lecture halls are complemented by a new state-of-the-art science block called Sanganeria, which houses advanced physics, chemistry, botany and zoology labs. Faculty members orient students early towards research, mentoring them in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, climate tech and green hydrogen, and promote incubation.
The college offers both traditional and cutting-edge programmes. Alongside core BSc (Hons) courses in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology (Botany/Zoology) and Computer Science, it has also introduced newer interdisciplinary options with electives that include Fragrances & Flavours, Green Chemistry, Bioinformatics and the Science of Happiness. Students acquire skills in modern lab techniques, coding and data analysis. Courses like Climate Change Fundamentals and Ecosystem Services reflect Hindu's role in addressing global challenges.
The classrooms and labs have audio-visual facilities and are WiFi-enabled, equipped with tools such as digital microscopes, spectrophotometers and IoT-integrated sensors. While software such as Python, MATLAB and bioinformatics platforms are embedded in coursework, virtual labs, simulations and certification modules in advanced instrumentation and climate modelling prepare students for future-ready careers.
Science graduates have excellent placements and higher salaries. Last year, the college recorded the second-highest science placement offers among peer institutions.
Its science programmes have been aligned with NEP 2020.
