Dear all, you are welcome to our website which is informative and interesting. Whether you are a first-time visitor or are already a member of our community, I persuade you to discover the i-GATE College website and find out the activities and programs happening in our college. Our Management Committee focuses on excellent academics, an authentic learning environment determined to motivate and empower and an unequaled infrastructure promoting holistic expansion and development on i- gations.

In my opinion, children are caterpillars who walk into the college where the world is new to them and as they grow up, they start to grow wings subsequently so that they can fly by being independent, smart beings who learn and discover the world on their own. Therefore, as a member of the management committee, I assure our students’ path of compassionate, creativeness filled with desire to congregate new challenges to explore the world with our devoted, efficient and multidisciplinary team of teachers who have innovative contribution in fostering partnership with the school, home and society.

Moreover, all of the top achievers are life-long learners. Thus, the students who enroll in our college, we emphasize them to develop their skills, insights, and ideas which helps to grow and move toward excellence whereas our school motto accentuates “Proceed In Search of Excellence.”
