St.Stephens college in Delhi University - one of the most famous colleges in Delhi

St. Stephens college in North Delhi, in the Delhi University campus, is one of the most famous colleges in India, reputed for many of its courses, including Economics. The college has a variety of courses for both under-graduates and post-graduates, famous for arts and science courses as well.
The college is pretty old, having been started in 1881 as a religious institution by the Cambridge Brotherhood, an Anglican mission, and even now retains the status of a minority institution, affiliated to the Christian diocese in Delhi. Since the college was started before Delhi University was set up (in 1922), it was initially affiliated to the University of Calcutta. The college was founded by the Rev. Samuel Scott Allnutt, and his remains are buried within the campus of the college.
The first location of the college was in Chandni Chowk, which was moved over to the next campus in the Kashmere Gate area. The current famous building of the college is a landmark, designed by a Welsh architect, Walter Sykes George. The building was completed during the World War 2, and completed in 1941. But before the completion of this building, the campus was located in the crowded Kashmiri gate year, the place where DCE used to be earlier. The current campus has a hostel, allowing 300 men and 100 women (who were allowed into the college only in 1928) to stay on the college campus.
The College motto is Ad Dei Gloriam, Latin for To the Glory of God. The College colours are martyr's red and Cambridge blue. Some of the famous alumni of St. Stephens can be found on this link (Wikipedia).

Delhi Technological University, formerly known as Delhi College of Engineering - Delhi's engineering college

Delhi has a premiere engineering college known as the Indian Institute of Technology; however, way back in 1940, before the formation of the IIT's, Delhi had also got its own engineering college called 'Delhi College of Engineering'. It was originally known as Delhi Polytechnic, and was controlled directly by the Government of India till 1963, after which it was handed over to Delhi in 1963, being affiliated to Delhi University from 1952. And then in 2009, the Delhi Government changed the status of DCE to being its own university, breaking the link with Delhi University, and changing the name to Delhi Technological University.
When DCE started in 1940, it was not only engineering courses, but also offered courses in different areas such as Arts, Architecture, Commerce, Applied Science and Textiles. However, over a period of time, these different courses were branched off into separate institutes, and DCE became primarily an engineering college, with new courses in Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, and newer courses such as Computers getting added.
For a long time, the campus of the institute was located in the crowded Kashmiri Gate area, limiting scope for expansion. A new campus was started, and in 1999, study courses started in the new location at Bawana Road in May (which is much bigger, befitting a growing engineering college).
