Multiple agencies rushed to Ramjas College of the University of Delhi on Monday after the institution received an email threatening the presence of a bomb on its premises, official sources said.
No suspicious object has been found so far, they said.
Upon receiving the email, the college administration promptly informed the police, triggering a swift response from security agencies.
As a precautionary measure, students and staff were evacuated from the campus, and the premises were cordoned off, they said.
Bomb disposal squads and other teams carried out a thorough search of the area and found no suspicious objects.
Further investigation is underway, police said.
The latest bomb scare came just days after another threat email targeted the Delhi mayor's office, prompting a separate security sweep. Investigators later declared that the alert was a hoax, but authorities treated the situation seriously and conducted extensive checks to avoid risks.
Earlier on the same day, several schools and government buildings in Chandigarh also received threatening emails, triggering evacuations and heightened security in the region. These repeated incidents have raised concerns among authorities about coordinated hoax threats targeting public institutions.

Officials believe such threats can disrupt daily activities and create unnecessary panic, even when no explosives are found.
Security agencies have reported a noticeable rise in fake bomb threats across India in recent months. These incidents often force schools, colleges, and government offices to suspend activities while emergency teams conduct checks.
Police recently arrested a 47-year-old man from Mysuru who allegedly sent more than 1,100 fake threat messages targeting schools, courts, and government offices nationwide. Officials said repeated hoax threats have caused widespread disruption and forced institutions to implement stricter security measures.
"These threats had led to heightened security measures, evacuations and disruption of normal functioning at several institutions. In one such instance, a judge of the Delhi High Court had also lodged a formal complaint after receiving a threat email," an officer said.
Security officials emphasised that quick responses and evacuations help prevent panic and ensure safety in uncertain situations. Cyber teams are currently working to trace the origin of the threatening emails sent to the Delhi University colleges.
Meanwhile, students and parents remain on alert as authorities continue their investigation. Officials have reassured the public that safety remains the top priority and that strict action will be taken against those responsible for sending such threats.
