Healthy practice of preparing notes: On every topic/question, an assignment
is prepared by two students (M.A.). Once the assignment has been corrected,
after final approval, the notes are the joint property of the class and are
available as ready reference for all the students in the class.
Question bank: Question bank is being maintained. After the end of each
topic, questions pertaining to the topic are discussed in the class.
Supply of notes on E mail: The post graduate students of commerce stream
face problem regarding material and notes for each topic. As such, a special
e – mail address has been created and regular notes are mailed at the same
so that each student has access to them without any problem.
Reference books: Students are provided with the details of the reference
books at the start of every topic.
Strengths:
Committed and dedicated faculty
Sufficient number of books and journals in the library
Dept. attracts bright students in honours course which is hugely popular ,
sought after course
Strict adherence to student assessment criteria and stress on regularity of the
students.
No readymade notes are given to the students. Rather they are encouraged to
prepare their own notes on the basis of lectures delivered and the reference
material.

Weaknesses:
High Student- teacher Ratio at under-graduation level , especially in
B.A. I level.
No Research Centre is there in the department. We need to upgrade the level
of research.
Opportunities:
The starting of post graduate programme in Economics has given opportunity to
the department to compete with other colleges and emerge as the best among the
city colleges both in terms of quality and university result.
Challenges:
Chandigarh being a university city, it is a challenge to attract the best students for
our post graduate course.
Future Plans:
Presently, we are not giving the option of Econometrics to the students at the
post-graduation level but next year we propose to introduce the same.

done by the staff.
Students are encouraged to become performing artists and faculty
provides help in all possible ways to impart training. Also, the college
faculty helps facilitate the interaction of students with established
professionals in the industry, to gain exposure and build their professional
network.
Students are guided to take part in various state, inter-state, and national
level programs, including radio, TV and other shows national repute.
Students of the department have participated and won in several TV
shows including Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Indian Idol, Awaz Punjab Di, Voice of
Punjab, Doordarshan music contest.
Differently abled students are encouraged to take up music as a subject, to
develop their skills in fine arts field. Student with special needs have even
undertaken their Ph.D. under the guidance of college faculty.
The students are guided to take decisions as per their skills to adopt
certain careers in music field or otherwise. The student who do not take
up music as advanced course keep in touch and seek guidance.
Faculty support the ex-students/alumni in their professional fields
including professional and career guidance, providing pedagogical
support and providing relevant job recommendations.
Weakness:
Lack of funds for outstanding performers, poor and underprivileged
students.
Lack of performing opportunities for students.
Opportunities:
To make music a popular subject, as music is integral part of our lives but
it is not taught as curriculum subject in most parts of the country.
Directing efforts towards introducing music as an interdisciplinary course
with other subjects and streams.
Challenges:
Given the evolving landscape and nature of music, the absence of digital
connectivity and the lack of new audio-visual media needs consideration.
Career opportunities in music are now arising in new and different forms;
efforts are required to understand these, and adequate support solicited.
To maintain standard set by ourselves and attract the best talent of the
region to work with.

undertake multi-disciplinary collaboration (research, teaching and services)
within and beyond the department in alignment with the university strategic
plan due to broad-based disciplinary focus of department faculty and
programs including introducing psychological knowledge in other disciplines
and in new kinds of applied contexts.
CHALLENGES:
In light of recently developed new state of the art facilities by our competitors
challenges us to maintain cutting edge research and deliver quality programs
so as to strive to be constantly updated and well informed. The need for
increasing employability and limited resources are potential areas that warrant
attention. In light of sizable student growth, we have limited infrastructure to
meet changing needs and demands.
