Meeting people at Maitreyi College

Last updated: July 2026

Meeting people at Maitreyi College, in Delhi NCR, starts with the campus's own social rhythm, not a generic checklist.

Area:Bapu Dham, Chanakyapuri, South Campus, Delhi University
Founded:1967
Size:mid-size (women's college)
Affiliation:University of Delhi

Maitreyi College is a DBT-recognised 'star college' across all four of its science departments (Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Mathematics), a status most DU arts-and-science women's colleges of its size do not hold across every science department at once.

What the campus is like socially

Maitreyi College runs on Delhi University's dense, walkable college culture. Societies, debate and dramatics circles, and a fest season every winter shape most of the social calendar, and the line between hostellers and day scholars matters less than which society you joined first.

How to find your people here

Join a society or the fest committee at Maitreyi College in your first few weeks. DU friendships tend to form around a shared activity, not the classroom, and the North or South Campus ecosystem makes it easy to meet people from other colleges too.
