40. Detail any five Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) of

the department:

Strengths:

Uplifting of the socio-economically weaker students.

Strong research potential with proven records of faculty, relatively good

faculty

Good computer programming Laboratory with one-to-one hands

practical teaching.

Computer networking & Internet Access

Wired / Wi-Fi Internet access.

Tutorial System (support & guidance) to students.

Online Interactive teaching with modern aids.

Maintaining the latest technology in the core subjects.

Excellent curriculum Design and the introduction of new subjects.

Post Graduate students are associated to Industrial projects.

Weaknesses:

Non-exposure of communication skill is the major setback of the

student’s growth.

Insufficient funding for books / equipments.

Inadequate facility for separate multimedia class room.

Insufficient number of teaching staffs

Students of our department and generally of the college hail from

economically backward rural areas and their entry level knowledge as first

generation learners is low compared to their urban competitors.



20

Affordability to procure extra reading materials or exposure to other

scientific activities is limited, for our students.

Opportunities

A solid grounding in computer-science fundamentals;

High-end fields like artificial intelligence, networking, embedded systems,

and knowledge-based systems require very qualified professionals.

Challenges:

Distracting living conditions of students.

Computer Science is interdisciplinary subject with all other subjects.

Students have very few opportunities for interdisciplinary learning

Future plans of the department

To conduct professional training and research programmes in various

subjects for the benefit of students.

To organize seminars, symposium and conferences in thrust areas sponsored

by UGC.

To conduct more guest lectures by inviting subject experts from other

educational institutions.

To promote the department as a research centre by introducing M.Phil. and

Ph.D. programmes.

To apply for the funded research projects.



21

Achievements of the Department:

Since inception, the department has produced over 701 graduates in

Computer Science

The department has grown with well-structured Programmes such as

Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and M.Phil with t h e job oriented Skill

Based and Non Major Electives.

Departmental Extension Activities :

Our department had conducted the soft skill training program christened

SSCOPE(Soft Skills Creating Opportunities in Employment) to the final

year UG students (nearly 661) of our college in our institution in the

month of August 2013 in association with ILFS Education and

students were selected for the phase II. During this time the students

were taken to HDFC bank at Thiruvarur as a field trip in which they were

nicely interacted with managers and staff and they had gathered more

knowledge. One day they were taken to Madukkur oil & rice mill by van

at Pattukottai as an industrial visit and they were nicely prepared the

report on that.



24

Our department had organized on audio visual seminar to Tiruvarur

govt. middle school teachers as a part of their refresher course on
