Broadly speaking purpose of various columns in College Post are:
Editorial - to share views on education, economics, social, political, science and technology aspects of education
ICF News - to report the events and developments of Indian Colleges Forum and colleges.

Articles could be of research-based, critical analysis, newer and innovative areas. It kept space for 3-4 articles with the tune of 1000-3000 words. Articles were invited from eminent academics, researchers, and policy analysts. The main object was to inform educational administrators namely, VCs, College Principals, Policymakers, and scholars. The focus here was less technical but more educative or informative to educational administration and policymakers.
Researches in Education - A good amount of quality M.Phil. Ph.D. and post Ph.D. research having policy imperative remain on the shelves of the university library. It was thought that some of the research studies in education, economics, social, political, and science aspects of education need to be highlighted for the benefit of policymakers, education administrators, and scholars. Accordingly, one to three studies; key findings with methodology with name of the guide, university, and scholar is published. This will help the interested persons to look for these studies further for drawing policy or research purpose.

Across the Globe - This column was introduced to capture events and happenings in the field of higher education in the world. It was sourced from Times Higher Education Supplement, Minerva, and World University News. The object was to bring to the fore the developments in education toAdministrators and policymakers. Which in a way give a possibility to compare the national scene with the international one.
I share... - This column was introduced for sharing of experience of educational administrators about their unique, pleasant, and difficult experiences with the academic administrators to inspire and give clues about some of the puzzling problems of educational administration. In this column senior principals of colleges were invited to share their experiences. We propose to open it to VCs, academics, and policymakers.
Book Review - this is the standard column for a review of books on education, economics, social, political science, science and technology aspects of education.
