The CBCS system was introduced in our Department in the year 2018-19. The department held meetings with guardians to collect their feedback on syllabus, teaching-learning and over-all improvement of the institution. Departmental academic calendar is regularly published to inform the students about the syllabus and the assignments of faculties. Department frequently organises cultural programs to encourage students’ proficiency in this field. Despite our shortcomings of being an evening college, the faculties put up their best endeavour to help the students achieve their goals.
