Weakness Most of the students are first generation learners with socially and economically Backward background with low aptitude in communicative skills. Students lack passion to learn the English language hence find it difficult to Cope with the demands of the curriculum Time management to perform multi tasking such as department work, teaching Load committee work, research work, etc., The college is located in a developing are which lacks proper mode of conveyance. Hence meritorious students prefer to seek admission in city College Drop out of students due to parental pressure in getting them married before completion of course
