Alright, so you're looking at two of the best colleges in Delhi University for a B.Sc (Hons.) in Chemistry. Here's a quick comparison:

	ST. STEPHEN'S	HINDU
NIRF RANKING	#1	#3
TOTAL FEES (APPROX.)	1.2 Lakhs	55K

Academics:

Based on the previous year's data, Hindu College had a cut-off of 96.66% for B.Sc (Hons.) in Chemistry, while St. Stephen's had a cut-off of 92%. Both colleges have well-reputed and dedicated faculty members who have received numerous accolades. It's tough to pick between the teachers since they're all pretty much on par in terms of academic qualifications and achievements but follow different teaching patterns and curriculum. Both colleges conduct national conferences and workshops to help students grow and get industry exposure.

Placement Opportunities:

St. Stephen's stands out because many graduates get opportunities for higher studies, internships, and fellowships abroad, thanks to scholarships and collaborations with universities like Oxford, Yale, and Cambridge. The environment is disciplined and rigorous. Ongoing research projects are funded by SERB and UGC. Top recruiters include Hetero Drugs, Emami, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, and BCG, offering a median salary of around 9 LPA.

At Hindu College, the median salary package for B.Sc in Chemistry is around 5 LPA, but the placement rate is lower since most graduates go for higher studies. Top recruiters include DE Shaw, KPMG, and IndiaBulls. Internships are also available with organizations like Empower India and Philip Morris International.
