SCHOLAR MENTOR PROGRAMME (SMP) is an initiative of the college to scaffold high achievers among the students and thus to prepare them to realize their potential. The scheme proposes to arrange specialized mentoring programs for students in the undergraduate programs to provide guidance for their future through interactions with reputed scholars, visits to centres of learning and high level exposure to the best in scholarship in their areas of interest.
The College is implementing a Skill Enhancement Programme to lift the employability of Youth. SEP aims to alleviate the issue of unemployment among the educated Youth due to inadequate linguistic and other career related skills. It provides short training programmes to equip the students with industry relevant skills.
The student intake at the College is of mixed ability and levels of performance. Occasionally it is the shift from the school environs to the College which worries and upsets them. Hence the centre conducts remedial sessions for students who need additional support. Outside class hours are used for these sessions and it guarantees excellent results. The Centre works under a faculty coordinator.
The Centre takes care of the needs and problems of differently-abled students admitted in various programmes. The centre also provides guidance and counseling. It provides good learning equipments and study materials too. The Centre also ensures that in terms of access and infrastructure, the institution complies with statutory requirements. It also collaborates with organizations and NGOs outside to conduct meets of public awareness and empathy building for the physically challenged members of the society. The various events organized under its aegis help the student community to embrace an inclusive society which treats all equal.
Under the scheme all students of the college are divided into a number of batches and each batch is placed under the guidance of a Tutor. Every student, on being admitted to the college, will be assigned to the care of one teacher whom they can consult on all matters where advice is required, whether in his studies or in the ordinary affairs of life. Each student is expected to meet Tutor-in-charge at least once in a fortnight or at such time as may be fixed by the Tutor. Tutorial meetings are conducted monthly by each tutor for giving the students proper guidance on points of academic and general interests. No student should be absent from these meetings without permission. Conduct certificates are issued by the Principal on the recommendations of the tutor Concerned.
The Civil Services Centre of the College helps identify and support the students who aspire to join the Indian Civil Service. As the elite examination is highly competitive, it needs to be approached with good preparation and planning. From the initial orientation to the time of Examination, they are hand held and mentored. Civil servants are invited to meet and interact with them so that they will get a feel of career and lend them confidence. The Centre operates with the following objectives:
