Strengths

A very well Known Centre of Research in Mathematics since the period of Rev

Dr.A.O.Konnully who was the first person to receive Ph.D in Mathematics from

Kerala University

Department has coherent group of very qualified teachers who are also resource

persons and Master Trainers for the programs like Nurture, Inspire, Census ,

Elections etc

Students are trained in Numerical Ability, Communication Skills, Social

Awareness Programs, Personality Development programs other than usual U.G



and P.G

Very well placed Alumni

MOU with NAVADARSHAN for training students in mathematics and

preparing them for Mathematics Olympiad and NTSE

Weaknesses

Latest information on the subject are not obtained due to the lack of Journals and

e - Journals

Opportunity

New Courses (Integrated Degree and Add On Courses) to enhance Job

Opportunity

Improve the relations with the industries related to Subject

Giving Classes for Numerical Skills, Communication Skills, Personality

Development and Social Awareness on Regular Basis

Conducting programs like Nurture, Inspire and Training for O lympiads

Improving Academic Quality of the faculty members by attending FIP’s

CHALLENGES

IISc, IIT’s etc are starting regular Degree courses

Vacancies of faculty members are not filled

Evaluation standard, conduct of Exams, results announcements of our

University and Autonomy to neighboring colleges

Lack of library use by the Students

Shortage of Company’s in the campus placement depending upon the subjects

Actions Planned to mitigate the threats

Start New Courses According to latest trend

Fill the vacant posts of teachers

Compete for Autonomy

Encourage students to use library
