St. Stephen's College, Delhi, founded
on 1 February 1881, is the oldest college in Delhi. St. Stephen's College is a constituent college of the
University of Delhi. Awarding both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, it
is regarded as the most prestigious liberal arts college in India. It is often
associated with elitism, as a place where the children of the rich and
influential study.
In
2017, the governing body of the college unilaterally initiated a move toward
making it an autonomous institution. In 2018, the plan was put on hold after
the University Grants Commission received legal advice against passing a
favourable decision.

eleventh among colleges in India by the National Institutional Ranking
Framework (NIRF) in 2022, the institution has produced distinguished alumni in
fields like politics, law, journalism, film and business. St. Stephen's College
