Gargi College Placement
Gargi College Placement Overview 2025
Gargi College, a leading women's constituent college of the University of Delhi, supports career development through its dedicated Placement Cell, which organizes on-campus recruitment drives, skill-building workshops, seminars, guest lectures, and internship opportunities. The cell focuses on empowering students in humanities, sciences, and commerce streams, with strong emphasis on consulting, finance, IT, and ed-tech sectors. As of November 2025, the official 2025 placement report (for the 2024-25 graduating batch) is not yet released, as drives typically peak in March-May. However, NIRF 2025 data (reflecting 2023-24 placements) provides the latest available insights, showing modest on-campus activity: 14 UG students placed out of 58 eligible (24% rate) and 3 PG students out of 34 eligible (9% rate), with median packages of INR 3.24 LPA (UG) and INR 4.80 LPA (PG). Based on 2024 trends, the highest package reached INR 23.05 LPA, average INR 5.25-5.35 LPA, and over 350 students placed overall (including off-campus). Placement rates are higher (50-70%) in commerce/economics, but many graduates pursue higher studies, civil services, or NGOs. Internships placed 200+ students in 2024, with stipends up to INR 30,000/month.
