and combinations in the college at nearby pre university colleges. The students are also
counseled by the members of the admission committee.

every student is given whoever applies. However the meritorious students are given first
preference.
Since the student’s strength who applies for commerce is high, the admission committee
scrutinizes the applications and gives admission to meritorious students on first come first
serve basis as the seats for commerce are limited according to university orders.

principal, teachers and even the CDC members. At the end of the semester the feedback will
be collected formally from all users. The feedback so collected will be analyzed critically and
used for further improvement of library services. The suggestions given by users of library

In the future we are planning to do some research projects with students & to create some research
oriented knowledge in them.
Teaching faculties are very happy to engage the students & they are willing to put the time into build
good relationships with students.
Weakness
Students do not have the fundamentals necessary for the more advanced classes. WI-FI facilities are not available.
Transfer of Permanent teachers in Govt. College is inevitable.
Students are very weak in language as they come from villages.
Opportunities Students wanted the remealial classes after the class hours to clear their doubts
Students want to give more exposure to experimental techniques which they could not able to convince
in the class room.
Students wish to visit research institutes to get more knowledge about the ongoing projects.
Challenges Teaching faculty see the threats for success from multiple sources.
Some students lack self confidence in academics & have behavioral issues that stem from the students
not caring enough about the subject matter.
35 Future plan of the department To attract more member of students to study pure science.
To improvise the results.
To organize state level seminars
To invite resource persons from reputed research institutes.
equip class rooms with ICT facilities
Provide separate rest room for girls.
