economically backward sections and students who are differently abled Counseling is given to the students and parents to prevent dropout as far as

possible An effective Career Guidance and Placement Cell is working in the campus

under the leadership of teachers and the Cell acts as link between the students and the prospective employers.

Students are made aware of the necessity to conserve Wild Life and preserve nature for a healthy and balanced existence in the Universe

The institution maintains a very high success rate in University examinations with a good number of first classes and University ranks.

Teachers are actively involved in Pain and Palliative programmes.

Weaknessess

Necessity of more class rooms and buildings. Upgrading PG departments into research centers also require more rooms for

research scholars. Need for more information technology accessing devices. Needs more

sanitation facilities for girl students.

Opportunities The college campus extends to 92 acres of land in Calicut city, so that there is

high opportunity of expanding the academic programmes by introducing new courses that suits modern and contemporary requirements.The College has a large play ground and Gymnasium

Up gradation of PG Departments into research departments will provide more opportunity for extension activities

Threats Emergence of new generation courses is a main threat to institutions like this

offering conventional programmes in science / arts / humanities Increasing number of professional colleges (engineering/medical/para-medical)

is a real threat to institutions like this offering conventional programmes in pure science
