Rajdhani College was established in 1964 by the Delhi Administration in Kirti Nagar, New Delhi under the name of Government College and was renamed as Rajdhani College when the Delhi administration vested its governance in an autonomous Governing Body. Rajdhani College is a constituent college of the University of Delhi and has completed 50 glorious years of academic excellence.
The College is situated in West Delhi on Mahatma Gandhi Marg (Ring Road) near Raja Garden, New Delhi and is accessible from all corners of Delhi. Ramesh Nagar and Rajouri Garden Metro Stations are just a few steps away from the college. ESI Hospital is just round the corner. Its strategic location makes the college much sought after apart from its academic excellence.
Initially the college was started in a school building at Kirti Nagar with negligible facilities but with the efforts of the Governing Bodies, faculty and administrative staff, the college becomes one of the best colleges of University of Delhi. To cater the increasing number of students a beautiful and spacious college building was constructed in 1976-77 which was inaugurated by the then President of India Sh. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed. Recently a new academic block has been built to accommodate the ever increasing number of students. The two storeyed new block has eight new class rooms, one computer lab and one biology lab along with a lift. The college complex has an air-conditioned Seminar/Conference Room, an air-conditioned Auditorium, a well-stocked Library with Computer & Internet facility with access to more than one lac scholarly books and ebooks on various subjects. The college has well-equipped Science Laboratories, as well as Math and Computer Laboratories.
A Robotics laboratory in collaboration with e-Yantra IIT Bombay has been established in the current academic year. It was formally inaugurated on 16th January 2015. This lab is also a part of an initiative of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) through National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) to promote education in embedded systems and robotics throughout the country. To facilitate recreation the college has a beautiful playground for outdoor sports activities like cricket, football, hockey, volley ball, etc.
With the help of its dynamic staff, the college strives for excellence in education, sports, and co-curricular wellbeing of its students. Our college today is looked upon by the academic community of Delhi as one of the most excellent institutions for its progressive outlook towards teaching, learning and co-curricular activities. We are committed to provide an enabling environment in which holistic growth of every student is possible.
