The college was established under the patronage of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, which continues to provide institutional and financial support. While it functions as a constituent college of the University of Delhi and follows university-prescribed curricula, examinations, and admission norms, its governance includes representation from the trust. This gives Sri Venkateswara College a distinctive position among Delhi University colleges, combining the academic framework of a central university with the cultural patronage of one of India's prominent religious endowments.
The college offers undergraduate honours and programme courses across three faculties:
Admissions follow the Delhi University process, which has shifted to the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for undergraduate intake from the 2022–23 academic session.
The campus is located on Benito Juarez Marg in Dhaula Kuan, in proximity to other South Campus institutions of the University of Delhi. It houses laboratories, a library, sports facilities, hostels, and an auditorium. Student activity is organised through a students' union and a wide range of academic societies, cultural societies, and an annual cultural festival. The college also hosts National Service Scheme (NSS) and National Cadre Corps (NCC) units.
Sri Venkateswara College is regarded among the well-known constituent colleges of the University of Delhi, particularly for its science and commerce programmes. Its association with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams makes it one of the few colleges of a central Indian university to be sponsored by a major religious endowment, while still operating within the secular academic framework of the University of Delhi.
