MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Applicant,
Welcome to St Stephen’s College.
I’m sure you’ve read and heard much about the College and perhaps, even visited the College before the global
pandemic that we are all are in the middle of, even as we prepare for another academic year. What you read
and heard about College, the work ethic, the campus and its illustrious alumni are all true. There is no field of
human endeavour where Stephanians have not made a mark – education, the judiciary, corporate affairs,
politics, sports, bureaucracy, administration, social service, research, art…the list is long, but the seeds were
sown in College. The four lovely water colours by Allen Shaw in this Prospectus is a fine example of how
beauty, skill and talent are exemplified in the work of our alumni. Admissions are here at last and the fruits
of your labours will soon be seen. Here is an opportunity for you to become a part of a great tradition. Here is
an opportunity for you to become a Stephanian.
St Stephen’s College is more than a hundred and forty years old. It is even older than the University of Delhi
and several other institutions in India. The College was founded in 1881 by missionary scholars from
Cambridge in England. Their aim was to educate and train students from India to be the best that they could
be. It was a wholesome education that these founding fathers envisaged and as part of the education they
also laid an emphasis on service. That tradition of excellence and service continues to this day.
College admits students to undergraduate and post graduate degrees through the University of Delhi. Postgraduate classes are held at the University while undergraduate degrees are taught in College. Honours and
Programme degrees are offered at the Undergraduate level and as you go through the Prospectus you will find
more information on each of these courses.
