Together, all the sections of the library display a rich collection of more than 1,35,000 titles and about 98 periodicals published in India and abroad. The library has study spaces with a mix of quiet individual and group study areas. It also provides a book-bank facility for lending text books to needy & deserving students for a period of one year at a stretch.
Attendance
At Hans Raj, 66% attendance is compulsory. If the students fail to have this required percentage of attendance, letters are sent to the parents. Such students are not allowed to give the final year exams and are at risk of losing an academic year.
