Maitreyi College About

Maitreyi College, a constituent College of Delhi University, was founded in 1967 by Delhi Administration. The College community is proud to bear the name of Maitreyi, who was an eminent scholar of the vedic period. Maitreyi, the wife of sage Yajnavalakya, chose knowledge over worldly possessions, when asked by her husband to make a choice between the two; the dialogue between Maitreyi and Yajnavalakya in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad shows Maitreyi as an empowered woman, making a considered choice for self realization through knowledge. It has been our objective to weave these values into the fabric of our education system which is a blend of the best of tradition and modernity.

The College made a modest beginning in a school building in Netaji Nagar with a staff of seventeen teachers offering only B.A. (Pass) and B.Sc. (General) courses. It has since made rapid progress both in size and stature. The College now offers postgraduate course in Mathematics and Political Science including honours course in Physical and Life Sciences, Commerce and Humanities. Our College has also started Post Graduate Diploma in Nanotechnology, the first such course in Delhi University. The college has another first to its credit by focussing on e-learning methodology to create teaching material and evaluation quizzes. The College also offers short term add-on courses in Webdesigning and Journalism to enhance the employability of students.
