2.2.2 Does the College have a mechanism through which the “differential
requirements of student population” are analyzed after admission and before the
commencement of classes? If so, how are the key issues identified and addressed?

Since the College admits students of all denominations, the College is sensitive to the
differential needs of admitted students.
 Discussions at Departmental meetings on student performance result in planning
actions required for different categories of students and also for individuals with
special needs.
 Students with differing levels of competence in English and language skills get
admitted into College. In response to this challenge, the English department
conducts streaming tests and students are divided into different classes based on
their writing abilities. The syllabus and pedagogy are then customized to help the
students strengthen their language skills.
 The languages of Kannada and Hindi have different syllabi and question papers for
B.A., B. Sc. and B. Com. students.
 The Department of Economics has a mechanism to identify relatively weaker
postgraduate students in mathematics and writing skills and provide regular tutorials
to build their competencies.
 Almost all departments provide remedial help through various means such as
classes on basic concepts, peer learning, joint assignments with academically better
students and individual attention, along with counseling, if necessary.
 Several teachers are approachable for one-on-one sessions both online and in
person.
 Sports students admitted are paid special attention as they require, since they miss
classes during their matches. Teachers arrange special support for them in terms of
classes and internal assignments.
 After the commencement of classes, student attendance is monitored for any
particular pattern of irregularity and class mentors and counselors attend to this
need.

2.2.3: Does the College provide bridge /Remedial /add - on courses? If yes, how
are they structured into the time table? Give details of the courses offered,
department-wise/faculty-wise?

*Bridge Courses:
Bridge courses are conducted by different departments.
 Departments of Sociology, Political Science, Economics, Chemistry and Physics
conduct courses to help students refresh their basics and bridge knowledge gaps.
