Maitreyi College, MC

Maitreyi College, a constituent college of the University of Delhi was founded by the Delhi Administration in July 1967 to provide education to the young women.  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. We now have our own beautiful campus in Chanakyapuri and we offer our students a rich variety of academic disciplines. We admit students from all the states of India as well as students from foreign countries. The college community is proud to bear the name of Maitreyi, an eminent sage and scholar of ancient India. Maitreyi, the wife of Sage Yajnavalkya, considered knowledge to be the only means of attaining immortality and urged her husband to share his knowledge rather than his material possession with her. It has been our objective to weave these values into the fabric of our education system. We wish to achieve a blend between the best in tradition and modernity.
