Best Practice 1: QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL

To make higher education available to all corners of the society, irrespective of cast, creed and socio-economic condition.

The Context:

The goals and objectives of the college are to enkindle the light of knowledge particularly amongst the poorer section of the society to equip them for self employment.

The Practice:
  1. i) Admission: The College maintains a transparent admission procedure, keeping the criteria for eligibility low so that the students from the unprivileged class may also get a chance of higher education.
  2. ii) Financial Support: Students seeking concession towards tuition fees are interviewed individually by the Principal along with other members of the Student Aid Fund sub-committee before sanctioning Half or Full freeship or any amount of financial assistance. During the time of interview, members of the sub-committee try to understand the socioeconomic background of the student along with the number of family members, number of brothers and sisters, etc. In-charge of the departments also collects such information. The various teaching departments in the college have also extended financial support to students who are economically challenged by providing them books, study material, dissecting equipments etc.

The NCC aims at developing character, comradeship, discipline, a secular outlook, the spirit of adventure and ideals of selfless service amongst young citizens.
