adopted by the college. Some reforms are also initiated by the college within the

framework of university instructions.

An important evaluation reform is internal assessment, which carries a

weightage of 10-20% of total marks. The assessment depends on consistent

performance of the student in class, mid semester exam, assignment, project,

presentation etc.

For practical subject like physics, chemistry, etc. internal assessment is given

depending on the student’s performance in practicals, viva-voce etc. External

examiner is appointed for conducting practical examination.

Institution conducts 2 mid-term House Exams for annual classes and 1 mid-

term Exam for semester classes.

Answer booklets are evaluated by the respective teachers.

College keeps the record of these marks.

For giving internal assessment (IA) these marks are given a significant weight

age.

companies, corporates and agencies.

Centre for Sikh studies for research on Guru Granth Sahib and Sikh religio-cultural literature

contributes to the ideals of universal brotherhood.

Weaknesses

The college does not have a Research Centre.

Shortage of Class Rooms to meet high demand ratio

Limited number of Smart Class Rooms.

The college does not offer Add on/ certificate courses.



Absence of Wi-Fi facility across the campus.

The college does not offer proper skill based Vocational Courses.

Absence of RFID (radio frequency identification device) in the College Library.

Absence of centralized PBX facility hampers prompt access to the concerned office for

information/guidance.

Absence of online facility for admission

The college does not offer consultation services for want of proper training to faculty and liaisons

with industry and corporates

Opportunities

In view of high demand, the college can introduce subjects like, Psychology, Mass Communication,

Geography, Music, Dramatics, etc., at the degree level.

The College has infrastructure to accommodate evening classes for the students who have to juggle

between jobs and studies, which will generate revenue for the college.

The college also has the potential to introduce skill based courses like, Cosmetology, Fashion

Designing, Media and Advertising, Medical Lab Technology, etc.

With well equipped Labs in the department of Biotechnology/Microbial Biotechnology, Winter &

Summer Training can be introduced for outside students.

Challenges

Mushrooming of private tuitions and competition coaching centres hampers the regular attendance

in the classes.

The region is fast growing into an educational hub. So many private colleges/ universities have

come up in the periphery of Chandigarh, which prevent rural students to seek admission.

Swelling strength of students requires expansion of the infrastructure, which remains a challenge

Demand of new courses for better placements diverts students to other institutes.

High cost of maintenance of Infrastructure
