An Overall Review of the IPCW " Beautiful Colonial Building"

I applied only for one institution and that was the University of Delhi, so basically I applied for all the colleges that are a part of it. This is because I was so sure about the course in which I wanted to enroll into. DU offers one the best syllabus for Psychology across India.I scored 96.7% in 12 and the cutoff went upto 100% in 2 cllgs for the course I aspired. I wanted to assure a seat in 1st cutoff and Indraprastha College for Women(IPCW)was one of the best options that were open to me. The location&atmosphere suited me well.It has good NIRF rankings (44) and offers lots of courses. The department of psychology is one of the oldest and well-settled in DU. The procedure was so smooth,I submitted my application(by checking cutoff)and recieved a confirmation mail from College PO.The Ist cutoff for psych Hons. was 93% for OBC and 98% for GNRL of the best 4 subjects. It was completely online and much more convenient than I expected. A webinar was hosted by the DU adm branch, & all doubts were cleared before

Psychology is a booming discipline and interests me a lot also there are many career options after master's in this course.It genuinely offers a lot to learn.This is very well delivered by IPCW and they also have a Psychology Association.We had 2 sections the year I took admission&total of approx 86 students with about 20+ amazing lovely& well-qualified faculty members.They are enormously experienced, well trained, open to any sort of changes, feedbacks, extremely inclusive & very cooperative. Most(10+)of the faculty members have a doctrate in philosophy(PHD) and some are pursuing.The method and technique of teaching is very effective and helpful even in the online mode, most of the lectures are live and there is active paticipation from both the sides.Teachers are always ready to help, may it be academics or some personal issues hindering studies of their students,they will always listen you.Student Faculty Meeting-SFC is held every sem. Many students are university toppers every year.

Several organizations such as Deloitte, KRG, GAO Tec, Teach for India, and many more hired interns from my college. A total of approx 311 internships floated throughout the year & 245 students were selected. 1st-year students across disciplines applied for the most number of internships. The highest stipend offered was RS. 20,412 per month plus housing allowance by Teach for India for their fellowship programme and Rs. 20k per month by Houseitt. These companies offered intership opportunities in diverse profiles like Finance and investment management, equity research, web development, quality analyst, HR, sales & marketing, content writing, and a lot more.

The college is overall absolutely amazing. Very healthy and positive atmosphere all across.

For Psychology, there are very fewer placements just after bachelor's but after master's, they are so much. The college offers a large number of UG and PG programs. But for arts, mathematical science, and commerce courses there are placements after bachelors offered by several companies like Vedanta ltd., Decathlon, EY, etc. There are 52+ visiting companies and 100+ letters are offered. The highest package was 18LPA by DE Shaw India PVT. LTD. I plan to do some internships which will help me to be sure about my master's specialization and pursue PG in Psychology that would help me get better placement and insights into the subject.

The admission cost for my course (including the 1st year fee) i.e., B.A Hons. Psychology was around 32k, which is a little more than the other colleges of DU but I must say it is worth it. You can find detailed descriptions of fee structure, scholarships, and prizes on the college website. They have air-conditioned Psychology Labs & a very well-equipped library. Mine is a 3-year degree course, so it costs me a total of 81k approximately. There is an internship cell (JEET) , very hard working and helpful which keeps us alert about internship opportunities for the whole college and all departments on campus. Some of the offered internships are with a stipend and also placements opportunities are very good. The highest package for psychology for last year was 6 lakh per annum and the average was 3 lacs per annum. The college offers scholarships and prizes on the basis of academic and overall performance, both at the college and department level. For ex- lala jugal kishore jagdish prasad memorial prize.

IPCW has one of the finest infrastructure, a lively campus, & an eco-friendly campus. It has 10+ academic and cultural socities, a discussion forum,eco-club, NSS and NCC, etc. Student services include a vigorous diversity integration program and an equal opportunity cell. A pandemic couldn't restrict annual celebrations of manovriti(psych department annual fest) every year in Feb. Webinars on different topics are held often.Socities are run by student-faculty cooperation, open to all. There are big classrooms with a large sitting capacity. This is the only college of DU which have a swimming pool and offers swimming classes for all except SRCC. There are many sports facilities like a Tennis court, Badminton court, Gym, etc. Psych depart. also have a movie club and discussions are held from time to time. There is career guidance and placement cell mentored by highly efficient faculty. It has a spacious library with a Pwd lift access, which has a computerized system, and e-resources are also available.
