Institutional Distinctiveness

Students of our College are from diverse socio-economic background. Maximum students are

First Generation Learners and are drawn from vernacular medium schools. These students

belong to farmers’ families who are residents of surrounding villages. When such students are

admitted to the College, they have fear in their mind and are reluctant to get mixed with the city

crowd due to inferiority complex, their style of living and financial background. Such students

need to be imparted basic skills of communications, enhancement of self confidence by offering

counselling. This helps them cope with the demands of the globalized society and market.

of students. Some of them are :
