Indraprastha College for Women - review

The curriculum covers a strong foundation in core commerce subjects, like accounting, finance, economics, and corporate business management. One also learns about taxation, corporate laws and and e-commerce. The curriculum will definitely prepare one for a clear career path in areas like accounting, finance, or even marketing. However, there is not much flexibility for specific exploration of an area, the course curriculum is well decided in advance. A mix of traditional lectures, interactive sessions, groups, discussions, and presentations can cater to different learning styles as well. The difficulty level of exams is moderate to high with semester-wise conduction of exams, with some internal assessments conducted throughout the semester.

The placement specifically for Bcom Hons is very good; with great opportunities. However, not everyone gets placed - and one has to opt for placement. Around 20 percent of the batch had gotten placed though the placement cell. Highest package was about 16-20 lakhs CTC. Average package goes arounf 6-8 lakhs CTC. My plan was to do an MBA after my degree. Student is eligible for placement in the last year of the course.

Total cost of the course: 22,500 yearly (It might be different since the changes after the NEP) Hostel fee: 80,000-1,00,000 for each semester (depending on various amenities) Financial aid is available to EWS students, as well as relevant scholarships are also available. Campus employment was not undertaken by me, but I surely applied for it. Our placement cell is very active and major companies visit campus.

The college has a thriving culture of societies. However, since our college focusses more on academics rather than co-curricular activities - the societies get lesser stipulated time together. The dramatic society of IP College - is known to be the best in University of Delhi. There are dedicated practice rooms for all clubs to flourish. The library of IP College is huge and we also have a swimming pool. The campus is one of the biggest in University of Delhi. Classroom are built old but well-equipped. The societies provide a platform to connect with like-minded individuals, share passion and learn from diverse perspectives.

IP College has two hostels: 1 is located inside the college, whereas other is right opposite the college. Both AC and non-AC rooms are available for students. However, hostels have limited capacity, therefore, only some students can avail the hostel facilities and it is decided by the marks that each student gets. The hostels are very close to the college and the food is also good. The menu does not change throughout the year. The cost of living in the Hostel is a bit high, around 80,000-1,00,000 per semester.

The admission process was seamless, however fue to the changes after the NEP: the new process is done by the CUET exam. During my time, there were no entrance exams and admission was done through 12th Board examination marks.

The faculty for Bcom Honours was known for their experience and knowledge. The professors are very senior and bring a lot of expertise to the classroom. They are incredibly approachable and provide individual attention to students seeking help. student-teacher ratio ( since there were 2 sections of 60 students each)
