F R Islamia Inter College

You’ll find our college on Nuomela Road in the Civil Lines area of Bareilly. It’s an older part of town, and the school has been a fixture here for a long time. It’s an intermediate college, so we have the older students who are finishing up their schooling before they head off to university or start working. The building has that classic look you find in Bareilly, with thick walls and high ceilings in some of the rooms. It can get a bit chilly in the winter and quite hot in the summer, but we all just get on with it. The grounds are usually full of students during the breaks, sitting under the trees or walking near the gates. We have a lot of history in these halls. The staff is a mix of people who have been here for decades and some newer faces too. It’s a busy place, especially when exams are coming up. You’ll see students huddled over their books in the hallways. We don’t go for anything too modern or flashy. It’s about the books and the teaching. Being in Civil Lines, we are right in the heart of things, so there is always noise from the street outside. But once you’re inside the gates, it’s all about the classes. We just keep the doors open and the schedule moving, serving the families of Bareilly like we have for years on end.
