Delhi as an Education Destination
Delhi as the capital of India is one of the best cities to live in, in terms of both facilities as well as educational opportunities. The presence of reputed, esteemed educational institutions, catering to all categories of subjects, be it humanities, technology, medicine or management, further enhances the prestige of Delhi which is already famous as a historical city besides a world class one.
Many of the finest Institutions of India are Present in Delhi. There are 15 Universities and nearly 85 colleges; 55 management institutes ; 7 medical colleges; 10 Engineering colleges ; large number of computer institutes; 314 higher secondary schools; hundreds of preparatory schools and good number of other institutes spread across this vast city. Small wonder therefore, that it has become a seminal point of attraction for students and aspirants from four corners of India. That apart students even from countries like the United States, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal etc (find a detailed list at the bottom*) come to pursue their studies. Another major factor which draws students from different parts of the country to Delhi as compared to other cities like Bangalore or Mumbai is the quality of education and cost of living in. Students' hostels or the paying guest accommodation system is cost effective in Delhi; they are to be found in vast numbers when compared to other metros. The ambience is excellent, and one can easily adjust with the new environ. People are generally warm and accommodative. Down the years, the saying that holds true for Delhi is: Dilli he Dilwalon ki (the people of Delhi are large hearted). Leading institutions like Delhi School of Economics, Jawaharlal University, Delhi University, Indian Institute of Technology, All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi University and Indian Institute of Mass Communication have now acquired international status. Students who have passed out of these institutes have excelled in the professional fields and become authorities on their subjects. We at the National Network of Education have given our best to bring all the educational institutions of the capital under single cover. This has not been an easy task. We have endeavored to collect the vast information about nearly 700 educational institutions. It has been our approach to provide everything, possibly all information on almost all the educational institutions in Delhi.
