Honestly, I think both Lady Shri Ram College (LSR) and Indraprastha College for Women (IPCW) have their own strengths. I’m currently studying Bachelor of Arts (BA) at IPCW, and the campus life here is really vibrant. We have our annual fest called Shruti, which is a lot of fun, and the library is huge with a good collection of books. However, the faculty experience can be a mixed bag; some professors are really supportive while others can be a bit strict. The fees for my course are around 28,000 per year, which is on the higher side compared to some other DU colleges, but overall, I feel IPCW gives a solid education with good exposure.

On the other hand, I’ve heard great things about LSR as well, especially regarding their placements and the overall reputation of the college. The faculty-to-student ratio is better, which means students get more personalized attention. Some friends from LSR have mentioned that the environment fosters both academic and extracurricular growth really well. Their placements are also impressive, with many students getting good packages. However, I feel IPCW's focus on all-rounded development through various societies and events is something LSR could improve.

In terms of internships, IPCW has a dedicated placement cell that regularly shares opportunities, but it can sometimes feel like it’s more favorable for commerce students. I have heard from friends that LSR also provides good internship opportunities, especially through their active alumni network. So, if you’re looking for a college that offers a robust academic experience with additional activities, IPCW could be great, but if placements are a top priority, LSR might edge out slightly better. Ultimately, it really depends on what you're looking for in your college experience!

I feel Indraprastha College for Women stands out when compared to Jesus and Mary College, especially for the Bachelor of Commerce [B.Com] {Hons.} course. The college offers a well-structured curriculum, and the faculty is pretty engaging. I've seen that students can expect a decent placement with the highest package being around 21 Lakhs, which is quite motivating.

Plus, the campus life is lively, and there are several extracurricular activities that keep students engaged. Overall, I think IPCW provides a better environment for commerce students compared to JMC.

The fee for the first year at IPCW is ?37,825. You can find this info on their website too. IPCW's fees are on the higher side compared to other DU colleges. For instance, Miranda House charges about ?16,000 yearly.

I think choosing a hostel is a great idea because it's safer and saves you travel time. Plus, living in a hostel gives you a chance to enjoy a unique experience, make friends, and create lasting memories.

Though hostel fees at IPCW are somewhat higher than other colleges, they offer good facilities. PGs might cost less than hostels.

I suggest you apply for a hostel. If budget is an issue, consider sharing a flat with 4-5 friends in your later years. Hostels are generally better than PGs.

Hey there,

Sure, it's not right in the middle of North Campus, but you'll come to see that this is actually a bonus. The campus remains calm and tidy, not like a lot of other places. Plus, it's just a quick auto or metro ride away, so it's no big deal.

Teachers keep a close eye on your attendance and studies, which might give you school vibes sometimes. But honestly, how you experience it is up to you. Some people feel it's like being back in school, while others don't.

And guess what? There's no dress code!

From what I've experienced, college life at IP feels a lot like an advanced version of school. There's quite a bit of discipline, and attending classes is really important. On the flip side, there are tons of chances to join different college societies and get involved. I'm part of the NSS team, which offers a bunch of activities too.

The college is packed with extracurricular activities and sports options, plus there's even a swimming pool. The teachers are really supportive, and that goes for all departments, not just my political science one. The infrastructure is top-notch, probably among the best in DU, which I really appreciate. I've only been here for a short time, so I'm still learning, but this is what I know so far. Cheers!
