DAV College Chandigarh

DAV College Chandigarh belongs to the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic network that has run schools and colleges across north India for over a century, and this campus, established in 1958, is affiliated to Panjab University — so graduates hold that university's widely respected degree. Its humanities departments are the core here: English, economics, history and political science, with postgraduate English available. The college holds an A grade from NAAC and a NIRF rank of 87. Chandigarh offers an orderly, green, student-heavy environment with living costs below Delhi's, and the college's sports and cultural traditions are prominent within Panjab University's inter-college circuit. Fees are moderate for a private aided institution. It suits students from Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh seeking a reputable humanities degree under Panjab University without the cost or churn of a metro.
