Undergraduate college in Maharashtra, India

Ruparel College has been visited by several historical figures, including Indira Gandhi, Neelam Sanjiva Reddy (former President of India), P. C. Alexander (former governor of Maharashtra), and Ram Kapse (former Lt. Governor of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands).

In its most recent assessment in 2010, Ruparel College was certified as an A grade college, indicating an institutional score of 85 90 on a 100 point scale, by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council of India.

Ruparel attracted attention when it began producing a string of merit list winners beginning in the early 1980s. In 2005, three of the top ten student merit list winners and three of the top ten faculty merit list winners for the Maharashtra State Mumbai division were from Ruparel. The school has a reputable sports program and has produced several winners of the Arjuna award and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Award, and several cricket stars. It also has strong extracurricular programmes in chess and yoga, and its junior Kho Kho team has won the state trophy 17 times.

The D. G. Ruparel College has been known for pioneering several initiatives over the years. The college was one of the first in India to provide a Women's Development Cell, to focus on providing support specifically for female students and faculty. Later that year, the college became the first one in Mumbai to introduce ICT (information and communication technology) in daily learning and teaching, by allowing its students to take online topic wise tests and using online software to show different experiments in science courses.
