Dear Gideon Dharani,

To make the choice between two colleges is entirely up to the students; although we can provide data about the two according to which you can make the decision. Since you have asked about the Undergraduate programmes, we shall be focusing particularly on that:

It has been elevated to the status of “College of Excellence" by the UGC and as per the 2017 National Institutional Ranking Framework, it has been awarded second position in India, closely following Miranda House in Delhi. It has been reaccredited by NAAC scoring 3.70 CGPA out of 4.00. These data prove the quality of the institution.
