Swish hostels, labs, new gyms, swimming pools — the list is unending. So if Miranda House is renovating its hostel blocks and adding a launderette to its existing range of facilities, IP College is flaunting its fully computerised library, computer labs and a redone soccer field.

“College is no longer about slumming it out. When a student buys a prospectus, he is looking at getting his money’s worth. Even parents consider if the college can help the student develop his talents,” said Meera Ramachandran, principal, Gargi College.
