IP University- feel the difference!

"Jiska koi nahin hota uska IP hota hai!"

This statement coined by a DU-iite says a lot about the stature of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGS IPU). It is true that IP has not achieved the status that DU or JNU commands, but we mustn't forget that it is still in its infancy. Rather, do we all including the 'proud DU-iites' realise what a terrific purpose this university has achieved? It has given a chance at education to all those who DU is incapable of housing due to lack of seats.

Imagine the plight of those students who don't find admission in any of the courses at DU. IP offers them seats in some prestigious courses like Mass Communication and BBA. Had IP not come to the rescue, we would have had an increased level of frustration among the student community, more suicides and increased crime.

IP also provides education which private universities boast of, but at a lower cost. While most of the DU-iites might reject IP for its school life like approach towards classes and internal assessment, let us not forget our own DU has followed suit!

Another point worth mentioning here is, have we ever realised that while most courses at DU cannot fetch you a job right after graduating, courses at IP can?

Khushboo Goyal a student of BBA (banking and insurance) say, "Internal assessment is very important as it prepares us for the final exams." In a similar vein Reema Nath questions, "Which other university in the country insists on its students seeking internships and professional experience while still pursuing graduation?"

Many students feel depressed about not making it to the college of their dreams when they land up at IP. But they must not forget that it really is a varsity with a difference with the array of courses and that too all professional. Some miss the campus 'masti' but Gaurav Ghai, student of IP believes that the college life at IP is great as it is a small but a closely knit community with a strong and a close bonding between the students and the teachers.

Are the proud DU-iites listening?
