Both Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University offer Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. However, there is a difference in the degree offered, which is primarily due to the approach to the subject. Candidates will be enrolled in the Masters of Environmental Studies programme at Delhi University, while the Environmental Sciences programme at JNU.

The distinction is due to the approach taken in developing the curriculum. Students at Delhi University are taught the socio-economical aspects of environmental sciences in addition to developing an understanding of the subject in the context of physicochemical and biological aspects of the environment (and their interactions). Subjects taught include "social perspectives of environmental studies" and "environmental economics." There is also a Masters in Arts (MA) programme for students with a background in the humanities.

The emphasis at Delhi University is on environmental ecology, pollution sciences, and biotechnology. Remote sensing, conservation sciences, statistics, geology, and environmental impact assessment are among the subjects taught. I believe the emphasis at JNU is more on the scientific aspect of the subject (which somehow seems legitimate since the degree is being offered for Masters in Science). Furthermore, 70-80% of the curriculum is shared by both universities. Though the JNU syllabus is extensive in terms of subjects such as hydrology and the fundamental principles/technical aspects of water and pollution movement.
