Pro-quality culture with proper infrastructure
Academic collaborations with national/international institutions
The college enjoys these strengths even more.
III. Institutional Weakness:
Inadequate land and space
The college management has purchased land in Nelamangala and other places to
build new facilities. In due course some of the courses will move out to these
places.This will help the college overcome the problem of inadequate land. Two new
buildings are coming up in the exiting land -an administrative block and a multi
storeyed building which will house a sports complex.
Limited choice of electives for students
The college has followed the UGC recommendation to follow the Choice Based
Credit Courses after receiving directions from Bangalore University. Today there are
fifty four choice based credit courses offered to students both at the PG and UG
courses. The three major systems which is the pattern of the Bangalore University
continue to be followed which permits students to learn a combination of any three
subjects.
Limited digital library resources
IBFLIBNET, DELNET and Galileo and JSTOR have been subscribed/ procured by
the library.
Placement and consultancy services are inadequate
Most students continue to opt for pursuing higher education even today and so their
dependence on placement service continue to lower than expected. The college set
up the Centre For Skill
Development and Placement in June 2012 as a response to the peer team
observation. It has been functioning well with several companies visiting the campus
and offering placement and has been helping students desirous of getting placed.
The centre has the following objectives:
 Information Dissemination regarding various higher education courses,
competitive examinations and vacancies in the job market.
 Organize raining program for a variety of skills development required in the labor
market.
 Internships: To establish contacts with various government, non governmental and
private sector for lectures, internships and in -house training.
 Placement Interviews: Finally accept prospective employers desirous of
employing students from various disciplines to conduct placement interviews and
recruit final year students.
 Inadequate “state of art” ICT infrastructure
Post third cycle almost all class rooms have LCD and teachers and students use digital
resources for teaching and learning. Reading material, assignments and on line tests
are also part of the digital use. College is one of the largest users of INFLIBNET
services in India
Conventional teaching methodology with occasional use of ICT
Conventional method of teaching is still used by most teachers as it has been found to
be personal and of good quality and permits more interaction with students. It is
supplemented by the use of ICT to provide variety, and add new dimensions to the
subject taught.
