The time spent at the High School is a mixed bag of different feelings, thoughts, ideas, tasks and Challenges for all the students. This is the time when they start gearing up for the final and most challenging year of their lives “THE BOARD EXAMS”. The scholars need to balance out on their academics, college applications and co-circulars in full swing. So, they need to be very focused with what they are doing.

First Cut offs came out and there was an influx of students to get into one of the best colleges of Delhi University. Indraprastha College for Women (IP College) is a dream college for many girls. The people who were now a part of IP College were neither into in the main North Campus cluster but were still in the North Campus. The building reflected a rich heritage of 28 year.  It was full of greenery and fresh air. With every fresh year comes newness to the campus. The seniors help their juniors fit in the new surroundings.

Some girls got the Subjects of their choice and some didn’t. Those who didn’t get the subjects of their choice had to adapt to the new subject with a good spirit to do their best. So, they began with a fresh mind. They even observed the colourful atmosphere of the campus and realised the change. The scholars got new access to do whatever they want, whichever way they want. This is a platform where the students can meet different kind of people from different states, backgrounds and countries.  So the campus is a blend of different walks of life.

IP College has an enrolment of over 2670 students and offers a wide range of courses.  Uniquely, it offers the B.A (Hons.) course in Mass Media and Mass Communication (BMMMC) which is ranked among the best in the country. The College ranks in the top ten colleges of the city and the top twenty in the country. This fact clearly suggests that faculty, teachers and opportunities are excellent. They are experts in their fields.
