like. The B.Com. - Business Process Services (BPS) and M. Sc. Big Data Analytics
are two industry-integrated courses where the curriculum is designed by the industry

 The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) was introduced in the College this
academic year. Several of our CBCS courses allow students to add to their repertoire

 The Human Resources Development program is compulsory for all UG students
and it helps them develop soft skills while also inculcating values that are relevant to
society and the work place.

them to acquire some additional computer skills. Besides, other foundation courses in
areas such as Environmental Studies; Science, Culture and Society; and Indian
Constitution help develop students into more responsible citizens.

introduce them to the world of work. They acquire several social skills like
leadership, communication, skills of empathy, negotiating, networking and other
skills and attitudes required for developing good work ethics and habits.
 Guidance is provided to write the NET/K-SET and other competitive exams by
faculty from respective departments and all postgraduate courses incorporate NET
requirements into the syllabi.
 There is an increased use of software and internet tools for teaching and research,
and computational skills for courses such as Mathematics, Statistics, Economics,
Physics, Botany, Zoology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Commerce and Big Data
Analytics.

*Innovation
 The syllabi are designed keeping in mind the creativity of the individual members
of the department and the extent to which the syllabi can assist in innovative teaching
methodology.
 Often student projects and assignments provide insights into the nature of topics
students are interested in and they eventually become part of the syllabi or the
assignments and projects given to students later.
 Co-curricular extensions are focused on building problem-solving and practical
skills among students.
 The College is committed to innovations in knowledge delivery through an optimal
use of available technology.
 Innovative pedagogy which is popular in many subjects is a source of creative
thinking for students.
 When students become part of research carried out by teachers in their research
projects, it motivates them to think creatively about their own academic interests.
