Yoga

Despite packed academic calendar with University determined deadlines, Yoga practice sessions are organized at intervals so as not to clash with events in the academic calendar. Students are encouraged to acquire yogic skills under the vigilance of certified trainers. The idea is to spread awareness so that students make Yoga a part of their lifestyles in personal time.

Remedial Classes

REMEDIAL CLASSES FOR SC/ST AND THE MINORITY COMMUNITY

UGC-sponsored Remedial Classes for SC/ST and the Minority Community was implemented from 27th September, 2008 in order to nurture and uplift the slow learners, so that the student is equipped to safeguard her interests. According to the UGC norms the remedial classes begin one month after the admission of the students to the college. In the course of teaching process during regular class lectures, slow learners and under achievers are identified by the Head of the Departments and the professors of the departments. They keep a record of the academically poor students and it is their responsibility to address the problems of the weaker students and looks into the academic, motivational and social adaptation pattern of the student.

Remedial Coaching is organized with a view to:

Improve the academic skills and linguistic proficiency of the students in various subjects.
Raising their level of comprehension of basic subjects to provide a stronger foundation for further academic work.
Strengthening the knowledge, skills and attitudes of these students enrolled in subjects where quantitative and qualitative techniques and laboratory activities are involved so that the guidance and training provided under the program may enable the students to come up to the level necessary for pursuing higher studies efficiently.

Impact:

The classes have elicited keen interest in the students, and have shown positive reflection in the results of college and university examinations.
It is expected that as the course continues there will be more positive reflection in the results at all levels of the academically challenged learners of the college.
