Notes built the way a senior student would explain the syllabus to you.
Delhi Pathshala is a study companion for Delhi University BA (Hons.) students — clear, exam-focused notes in Political Science, History and English, written to match the DU syllabus, not to pad a website.
Why we started this
We built the notes we wished existed when we were the ones staring at a 40-page reading list two nights before the exam.
Delhi Pathshala began as a simple frustration: DU’s Political Science, History and English Honours syllabi are dense, and the material available online was either too scattered, too generic, or written for a different course altogether.
So we started writing our own — notes structured around the actual DU papers, in language that explains rather than summarises, so a student could open one page and genuinely understand the topic instead of just memorising it.
What began as notes shared between classmates has grown into a full study resource used by BA (Hons.) students across Delhi University, and we’re now building a companion app to take that same material offline and on the go.
What we cover
Every topic is written against the current DU syllabus, not a generic version of the subject.
Political Science
Semester-wise notes on theory, Indian government and politics, and comparative politics, built to match how DU actually sets its papers.
History
Chronological, source-aware notes covering ancient to modern Indian and world history papers on the DU syllabus.
English
Text summaries, critical context and paper-wise notes for the prescribed readings across semesters.
How we work
Syllabus first
Every note is mapped to the current DU curriculum before it’s written — nothing is repurposed from an unrelated course.
Written to be understood
We favour plain explanation over jargon, so a topic makes sense on the first read, not just the third.
Affordable, not paywalled everywhere
A generous free preview on every subject, with full access kept affordable through a simple subscription — so quality notes stay within reach.
Built by people who’ve done it
Our content is shaped by students and academics who have actually studied and taught these papers.
