St Stephen's College, Delhi is the ranked the best college for arts in India, as per India Today's annual university rankings.

For each subject, there is a society in addition to other academic and cultural ones and the general clubs for social service, debating, dramatics and photography, to name a few,' Harshita Das/India Today said.
It houses one of the oldest libraries in the country, containing more than 95,000 books. Their digital collection runs to over 3.6 million titles, the report added.
