The correct answer is

Delhi

To determine which university was not among the first three established in 1857, it's essential to understand the historical context of higher education during British rule in India.

In 1857, three significant universities were founded as a part of an effort to modernize Indian education under the British colonial system. These universities were:

  • University of Calcutta
  • University of Bombay
  • University of Madras

The establishment of these universities marked the beginning of structured higher education in India, with the goal of creating an educated class which could assist in governance and administration.

Let's consider the provided options:

  1. Calcutta: Established in 1857.
  2. Bombay: Established in 1857.
  3. Delhi: This was not among the first three universities established in 1857. The University of Delhi was established much later, in 1922.
  4. Madras: Established in 1857.

Thus, the correct answer is what follows:

The University of Delhi was not among the first three universities established in 1857.

Hence, the correct answer is: Delhi.
