“Best” is pretty subjective. One means to determine the “best” could be to look up college rankings. But there is a problem with this as well. Because colleges are typically ranked for their degree programs (like Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science etc.), but not for specific courses. You could for instance look up QS: I also found this list of top quantum physics…
Bsc(hons) in statistics is one of the finest course offered by very few colleges of DU . Since all the colleges follows same curriculum so curriculum wise all the colleges are same . But now consider other factors like : faculty, crowd, and placements . now come to first parameter faculty : In all the colleges faculty are good enough knowledge wise so its depends…
