Overview
Founded in 1922, Delhi University's New Delhi campus spans more than 400 acres and runs on a teaching strength of 1,189 staff for 20,609 students. It is approved by the UGC and NAAC, and placed #15 in the NIRF Overall 2025 ranking with a score of 66.19 out of 100.
Placement outcomes vary sharply by programme length. Among 2023-24 postgraduates, the 2-year PG route saw 3,994 graduate and 1,648 placed, at a median salary of 16.7 LPA, while the 3-year PG route had 2,411 graduates but only 83 placed, at a median of 14 LPA. The 1-year PG cohort of 100 saw 40 placed at a median of 6 LPA. On the undergraduate side, the 3-year UG programme had 329 graduates with 203 placed at a median of 5.5 LPA, and the smaller 4-year UG batch of 50 saw 44 placed at a median of 8 LPA.
Trends across the last three years show the 2-year PG track consistently placing over 1,200 students annually, with median salaries rising from 15.5 LPA in 2021-22 to 16.7 LPA in 2023-24. The 3-year PG track, by contrast, has placed fewer than 90 graduates each year despite much larger batch sizes, a gap worth weighing against the 14 LPA median it reports for those who are placed.
