Thou art Light, fill me with Thy Light

From the Principal’s Desk

"In forming one young woman well, we shape a generation."

Jesus and Mary College, New Delhi, is more than just an institution—it is a living legacy of St. Claudine Thévenet, whose vision of compassion, forgiveness, education, and transformation continues to inspire every corner of our campus. Rooted in a rich heritage of value-based education and academic excellence, the college stands not merely as a structure of concrete, but as a vibrant academic fraternity dedicated to the holistic development and empowerment of women.

Established by the Congregation of Jesus and Mary—pioneers in women’s education—our college carries forward the vision of holistic development and social transformation through education. Inspired by the Catholic mission of education, we believe in nurturing not just intellectual growth, but also moral strength, compassion, and leadership among young women.

Situated in the heart of the capital, Jesus and Mary College stands tall as one of the most prestigious women’s colleges of the University of Delhi, widely recognized for its unwavering dedication to academic excellence and inclusive growth. Our institution is a proud recipient of a high NAAC accreditation score, reflecting the rigorous standards we uphold in teaching, learning, and institutional development.

Under the able leadership of the Religious of Jesus and Mary Congregation, the college has blossomed into a vibrant academic space that harmonizes tradition with innovation. Our diverse student population, drawn from across the country and beyond, enriches the campus with a dynamic and inclusive culture.

We offer a wide array of updated and value-added courses that reflect current global and national trends, equipping our students not only with degrees but also with the skills and values needed to face real-world challenges. Our rich curriculum and transformative academic experience are complemented by co-curricular and extra-curricular engagements that shape confident, socially responsible, and capable women.

Our accomplished and elegant alumni—who have excelled in fields such as academia, civil services, media, corporate leadership, the arts, and social work—are a living testimony to the lasting impact of our educational mission.

As Principal, I take pride in the teamwork and dedication that our faculty, staff, and students bring to this shared journey of excellence. At Jesus and Mary College, we continue to move forward—committed to uplifting women through quality education and preparing them to lead with wisdom, courage, and compassion in an ever-changing world.
