Requirements for Admission

The applicant must satisfy the eligibility conditions laid down by the University of Delhi.

 Admission is given on the basis of the candidate's academic record and performance at the interview, keeping in mind her or his all-round competence, capacity to benefit from being in this College and potential to contribute to the life of the College. The previous academic record should be of high quality.

 For admission to a Master's programme an applicant must have an appropriate Bachelor’s degree (10 + 2 + 3 scheme).

 For admission to the first year of the Bachelor's degree programme an applicant must have passed the Senior School Certificate (10 + 2 scheme) or an equivalent examination.

 Candidates from foreign boards or schools are eligible provided the qualification obtained is recognized by the University of Delhi or Association of Indian Universities (AIU), and on the basis of grade-conversion schemes provided by the Association of Indian Universities. Results should have been officially declared before the interview. Predicted grades/results are not acceptable.

 To qualify for the interview, the requirements for different subjects are as given below. “Cut-off” marks for the interviews are decided on the basis of these subjects. Wherever there is a reference to the “Best Four Subjects” (BFS), one of these subjects must be a language (which does not have to be English).

  • For BSc (Hons) Physics, BSc (Hons) Chemistry and BSc Programme with Chemistry, the candidate must have done Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (“PCM”) at the qualifying level

  • For BSc Programme with Computer Science, either PCM or Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science/Informatics Practices.

  • For BSc (Hons) Mathematics: BFS, but in calculating the BFS aggregate, marks in Mathematics must be included in addition to a language. Those who have done only Business Mathematics are not eligible for Mathematics Honours.

  • For BA (Hons) Economics: BFS. A candidate must also have done Mathematics at the Class XII level, and have obtained a minimum mark in Mathematics (which will be notified), although Mathematics does not have to be included in calculating the BFS aggregate. In the case of foreign boards or schools (recognised by the AIU or the University of Delhi), candidates must have done a course on calculus.

  • For BA (Hons) English: BFS. Additionally minimum marks in Core or Elective English are specified (again to be notified later). “Functional English” offered by the CBSE is considered to be equivalent to Core English. Preference will also be given to those who have done Elective English or English Literature.

  • For BA (Hons) History, Philosophy and Sanskrit and the BA Programme: BFS. 

The College does not admit students to the second year or the third year, and migration from other colleges to these classes is not permitted.

 Those who wish to avail themselves of residential facilities on the College campus must apply for this on a separate form available in the Residence Information Brochure. In St. Stephen’s College an exceptionally large proportion of the student body is provided residence. Nevertheless there is a limit on numbers and Residence cannot be offered to all those admitted who want it. Outstation applicants must state what alternative arrangements they will make in case they are not accommodated on campus. The College reserves to itself the right to deny admission to those applicants who fail to satisfy the College authorities that they have made safe and satisfactory arrangements for their stay in Delhi.

 The Prospectus with two application forms, the Residence Information Brochure, and the Sports form, are available from the College Admissions Office on any weekday (Monday to Friday) from 25 May, 2011 to 11 June, 2011 between 10 am to 1 pm, and 2 pm to 3.30 pm; and on 13 June, 2011 from 10 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 4 pm.

 Submission Procedure

(a) Forms obtained from the College Admissions Office (included with the Prospectus) may be handed in at the designated counters in the College or sent by post. Both the forms included with the Prospectus have the same serial number. A candidate can use these for applications for admission to two different courses. They cannot be used by two different candidates. The serial number is specific to a candidate, and if the same number is associated with two different names, both will be rejected.

 (b) Forms downloaded from the website may be deposited at the College counters or sent by post and the following charges, paid through a demand draft favouring "Principal, St. Stephen's College, Delhi":

             (i)  Admission form:          Rs. 200 per form

            (iii) Sports form:                 Rs. 50 per game

The deadline for receipt of completed application forms is 4 pm on 13 June, 2011. 

Note: Use only one of the three modes – (a), (b), or (c) above – for all applications; that is, if you are applying for a particular course and for a seat in residence, and also under the sports category, use only one mode for all these forms.

 If admission is sought for more than one programme, separate forms should be used. As noted above, one copy of the Prospectus allows you to apply for two separate courses. If you wish to apply for more courses, you will have to obtain another copy of the Prospectus.

 The application form should be filled in completely. Incomplete application forms will be rejected. Any wrong or misleading information in the application will disqualify the applicant, or if already admitted will result in the cancellation of admission. Overwriting, mutilations, erasures, etc. in the application form may lead to the rejection of the application.

 In general, no certificates are to be attached to an application form submitted in person or sent by post. Certificates are required only at the time of interview and admission (see Interview Schedule and Admission Schedule below). The one exception to this is that candidates from foreign boards must attach an Equivalence Certificate from the Association of Indian Universities, as well as the grade certificate.

Please use only paper clips while attaching photocopies of Residence Form/ Sports Form/ Equivalence Certificate to the OMR Sheets. Write the course application form number of the top right hand corner of all such attachments.

 While applications for admission will be accepted in the College office up to 4:00 pm on June 13, 2011, candidates are advised to apply as early as possible.

 

Procedure for Admissions

BACK TO TOP

Postgraduate Courses
Admission to an M.A./M.Sc. course is subject to the applicant's securing admission in the University Faculty/Department concerned, and an interview conducted by St. Stephen's College. Dates for interviews will be notified later.

Undergraduate Courses
Admission is based on two components with the following weights:
     (i)   Class XII marks:    85%
     (ii)  Interview:             15%

The College interviews approximately four applicants per seat for Economics, History and English; five per seat for the BA Programme; and six per seat for Sanskrit, Philosophy and the Science courses. In each subject, the marks of the last candidate in this list become the ‘eligibility marks' for being called for the interview, also called the ‘cut-off’.

Broadly speaking, an interview has the following components:
(a) Academic: The interview seeks to determine the candidate’s academic potential and suitability for the subject chosen, beyond what is indicated by marks alone.
(b) Co-Curricular: The interview also seeks to determine the candidate’s potential to participate in the co-curricular activities of the College and to contribute to its total life. The College does not have a separate “ECA” (extra-curricular activities) quota, but proficiency in ECA is taken into account during the interview.
(c) General Awareness and Sense of Values: The interview also seeks to determine a candidate’s personal outlook, sense of values, level of awareness and motivation. Thus the candidate’s statements on the admission form about himself or herself, his or her interests, goals etc. form vital interview material.

The lists of short-listed applicants along with their interview schedules will be put up on the College notice board and the website by June 16, 2011. No individual intimation will be sent.

Admission Schedule

BACK TO TOP

The list of applicants selected for admission will be put up on the Notice Boards in the College and on the College website the day after the interviews for a particular course have been completed. A Waiting List in order of merit for different categories will be put up at the same time.

Those selected for admission should submit original certificate and two passport-size photographs at the time of paying their fees and completing admission formalities. If, for unavoidable reasons it is not possible to submit the original certificates at the time, permission may be sought from the principal for later submission. If he is satisfied about the case, the principal will specify an extended deadline. If the original certificates are not submitted by the extended deadline so specified, admission will automatically stand canceled.

Depending on availability of seats, admission from the aplicants on the waitinglist will be made after the first list has been exhausted. These will be displayed on the College Notice Boards. Every effort will be made to inform applicants individually, but applicants are advised to consult the College Notice Boards and keep in touch with the College. All admissions will close on the date notified by the University.

Discipline, Ragging and Sexual Harassment

BACK TO TOP

DISCIPLINE

Every student is required to attend all lectures/tutorials/practicals, except for a good reason for which due leave should be obtained. Applications for leave on medical grounds, countersigned by a parent (or by the concerned Tutor/Warden and Dean for resident students) and duly supported by a medical certificate, must be submitted within one week of returning to College; thereafter such applications shall not be accepted. Resident Scholars should submit medical certificates only from the College doctor and the certificate should be countersigned by the Block Tutor/Warden/Dean. The Principal may consider condoning the attendance requirement in exceptional cases of serious illness or accident.

No undergraduate Junior Member will be permitted to take the University Examination unless he or she has attended at least two-thirds of lectures and tutorials/practicals, taken separately. In addition to this attendance requirement every student must perform satisfactorily at the January Examination (House Test) and at all oral and/or written assignments/tutorials/tests that may be held during the academic year. Failure to do so shall render the student ineligible to appear at the University examination.

All first-year Junior Members are required to attend the Assembly which is held each morning from Monday to Thursday. Attendance is marked at the assemblies and the record of it is taken into account as a parameter for awarding scholarships and prizes.

All first-year Christian students are required to attend the Religious Instruction class which is held every Friday.

TWO SPECIAL WARNINGS

St. Stephen's is a zone of "zero-tolerance" in respect both of ragging and of sexualharassment.    

(1)

Ragging in any form will be treated as a serious crime. In every instance of it an F.I.R. is required to be filed with the police – this is a statutory obligation. All Junior Members are expressly warned completely to steer clear of the anti-social and barbaric practice of ragging. Those found ragging or abetting ragging will be punished severely even to the extent of expulsion from College. 

An abridged version of Ordinance XV–C of the University of Delhi is provided in the Annexure at the end of this Prospectus. This sets out what will be construed as ragging, and lays down punishments.

(2)

Sexual Harassment. St. Stephen’s College is committed to upholding the dignity of all members of the College community, especially the lady members. The policy against Sexual Harassment enshrined in Ordinance XV–D of the University of Delhi seeks to create and maintain an academic and work environment free of sexual harassment for students, academic and non-teaching staff of the University. The ordinance applies to outsiders and residents alike while on the College or University campus. Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexually determined behaviour, whether directly or by implication and includes physical contact and advances, a demand or request for sexual favours, sexually-coloured remarks, showing pornography or any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature.

At St. Stephen’s College, a College Complaints Committee (CCC), comprising representatives of teachers, students, non-teaching staff, among others, is responsible for the implementation of the University policy against sexual harassment. The Committee takes cognizance of complaints about sexual harassment, conducts enquiries, provides assistance and redressal to the victims, recommends penalties and takes action against the harasser, if necessary.

On receiving a complaint of sexual harassment, if a prima facie case is established by the CCC, then it shall set up an enquiry committee which will submit a report. The committee is bound to maintain confidentiality during the time of the enquiry. After the report has been finalized, confidentiality will be maintained, if the complainant so desires, by withholding the complainant’s name and other particulars that would identify him or her. On the basis of the report, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the offender.

Extracts from Ordinance XV–D of the University of Delhi are in the Annexure at the end of this Prospectus. All students should read this carefully, and make themselves aware of what will be treated as “sexual harassment” and what the penalties if found guilty of so harassing anyone.
