5.2.3 How does the institution facilitate student progression to higher level of education and/or towards employment?

The institution facilitates student progression to higher education by offering five post graduate programmes, five M. Phil programmes and four research centres. There are 9 Ph.D. guides in these four research centres. The placement of outgoing U.G. and P.G. students have been done through Career Guidance and Placement Cell. The career guidance cell arranges guest lectures for career guidance. Usually, the request is made by the companies to the Principal either by writing or over phone. The career guidance and Placement cell carries out the selection process. The out gone students are called through letters.
Coaching classes for various competitive examinations like IAS, NET, SET, TET and IBPS are conducted by our institution with the help of funds provided by UGC XI plan merged scheme and UGC XII plan scheme.
Our college General Knowledge Cell conducts two model tests (one for clerical cadre and another for Civil services) every year in order to facilitate students to write the competitive examination confidently. Job opportunities are displayed in the library notice board.
5.2.4 Enumerate the special support provided to students who are at risk of failure and drop out?
Dropout rate is minimized. The reasons attributed to the dropout rates are inability to cope with the studies, getting employment and the parents getting transferred. Whenever any student wants TC, he has to get the permission from the Principal. The Principal calls the individual and asks the reason. If the reason is meant for his/her progress, he permits the student to get the TC. Otherwise the principal takes steps to retain the student by giving counseling or by talking to the parents.

If the students have financial constraints, the Principal intervenes and arranges for funds. Sometimes students may not have interest in undergoing the course. In such cases, if the student wants to transfer to another course, it is done by the Principal. Group transfer is also done by merit. If the students are absent for more than five days a letter is sent to the parents. The students, after meeting the advisor, HOD and the Principal talk to the parents, are readmitted. Students who have arrears in many papers are also motivated by the advisors to attend remedial classes and to complete the course, which in turn reduces the drop - out rate.

The problem of drop out also results out of the financial constraints of the parents. The college provides student aid fund to these needy students to reduce the dropout rate. Women’s welfare committee also places a role to minimize the dropout rate. Slow learners are identified by the advisors and remedial courses are conducted to improve their performance. Because of these steps the dropout rates are minimized.
