MSc Maths — JRF first attempt, TIFR offer; INSPIRE covered all living expenses
The MSc Mathematics programme is genuinely research-grade. Faculty mentorship, seminar culture, and competitive peer group pushed me harder than any coaching class. I cleared JRF in my first attempt and got a position at TIFR. INSPIRE scholarship covered nearly my entire living expense.

BA Economics — analytical depth matched only at some IITs; McKinsey offer
The Economics department gives a level of analytical depth matched only at some IITs. St. Stephen's reputation opened McKinsey interview calls that students from most DU colleges don't get. The campus culture — debates, societies, faculty dinners — is unlike anything since.

MSc Physics — small batch size, exceptional faculty; GATE and IISc PhD
I chose St. Stephen's for the physics faculty and small batch size. The attention from professors is exceptional. I qualified GATE and got into IISc's PhD programme directly after MSc. The MSc Physics curriculum is as strong as I could have hoped for.
