About-The College

Bharati College, the top women’s college in West Delhi, is a constituent College of the University of Delhi. The College was founded in 1971 with its premises at Karol Bagh. It shifted to its present location at Janak Puri in July 1998. Enriched by a faculty of over 130 qualified and dedicated teachers, the college caters to around 3500 students. Our alumni have excelled as academicians, lawyers, chartered accountants, politicians, administrators, sports persons, artists and as corporate leaders. Bharati College proudly counts renowned singer Maithili Thakur—recognized by the Prime Minister as a cultural ambassador—among its alumni, reflecting its commitment to nurturing talent and excellence. We are confident that all those who join Bharati will reach great heights.

This legacy of excellence is deeply woven into our heritage and is inextricably linked with some of India's most eminent public figures- including a former deputy Prime Minister and two former Chief ministers of Delhi. The first Governing Body of the College was chaired by Bharat Ratna Shri L.K. Advani , former Deputy Prime Minister of India, with Shri Madan Lal Khurana, (former Chief Minister of Delhi and, later, Governor of Rajasthan), serving as Treasurer. Recognising the importance of a good library for any academic institution, Dr. Sahib Singh Verma, former Chief Minister of Delhi, laid the foundation for an impressive library system that continues to benefit students to this day.

The current campus at Janak Puri was inaugurated by Padma Vibhushan Smt. Sushma Swaraj, then Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, who later served with distinction as the External Affairs Minister of India.

The college is situated in an area of about 8.6 acres of land which has a newly inaugurated state-of-the-art auditorium, a women’s hostel, a new academic block, 4 computer labs with over 150 computers with broadband connectivity, a seminar room, a conference room, a theatre room and a large, well-equipped library. The library provides access to e-journals, books and other information that can be freely used by students and faculty.

Along with the degree courses, the college also offers a multitude of add-on, short-term courses at very affordable fees for all interested students from within and outside of the College. These include courses in many foreign languages such as German, French, Russian, Chinese; IT courses at 'O' and 'A' levels and three more Computer Courses (Certified Web Developer, Certified Data Entry and Office Assistant and Computer Concepts) in collaboration with NIELIT and two additional courses in various professional fields such as Tax and Accounting as well as Digital Marketing.

The students are required to participate in co-curricular activities (NSS, NCC and Sports). The College has a very active cell of the National Service Scheme as well as a very capable and enthusiastic wing of the National Cadet Corps. The NSS works with physically and visually challenged students, inmates of the Tihar Jail, as support staff for the nearby Deen Dayal Hospital and with many other agencies. The NCC parade takes place on Thursdays and Saturdays. Many of our NCC cadets go qualify for the ‘C’ and ‘B’ Certificates, making them eligible for employment in the army and other wings of the government.

In sports, the College has extensive fields with a volleyball court, kho-kho and throw ball fields and a fully developed cricket ground. Any student interested in sports is welcome to join the various teams, even if she has not been admitted on the sports quota.

The various departments, through their Departmental Societies, aim at guiding and training students beyond the University curriculum by organizing lectures, seminars, workshops, cultural programmes, excursions, etc. It is mandatory for students to participate in annual functions such as Annual Day, Sports Day, NCC Day and NSS Day. Over and above these, for their holistic growth and development, students are expected to participate in at least five other functions organized in the College.

Bharati College is also proud of Nishi Bhardwaj, who was crowned Miss Earth in 2018 , reflecting the opportunities for growth we strive to provide to our students.
