7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution.

1. Competitive Examinations Centre 2. Short-Term Courses

Best Practice: I

1. Title of the Practice: Competitive Examinations guidance Centre.

2. Objectives of the Practice:

1) Create awareness and enthusiasm among students particularly from the deprived section about competitive examinations. 2) Provide quality coaching and study material and make them competitive to face their urban competition. 3) Indulge them into government functions by arranging guest lecturers of officers, civil servants, social workers, bankers etc. 4) Transfer student into an honorable and aware citizen of this country by arranging various workshops, social programmes, career counseling lectures etc. 5) Provide students quality material in the form of books, magazines, newspapers, computers with internet etc. 6) Provide them peaceful environment to study in the form of air conditioned reading room of total capacity 600. 7) Introduce them to various fields of government and private jobs recruited through competitive examinations like MPSC, UPSC, STI, PSI, ASST, SSC,PSUS, Banking, Railways, Charted Accountant etc. 8) Plan and conduct coaching and training programs for participation in competitive examination.

3. The Context:

Competitive exam is different from other regular exams in its approach and understanding. As the name itself suggests, the cut throat competition is the distinctive characteristic of it. This exam requires knowledge of all fields, from arts to science, from quantitative skills to language proficiency. It requires aspirant to be ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’. The educational background of an aspirant is not that of much importance. Competitive exam brings students of all backgrounds on the same platform. This aspect was to our benefit because our college has students of four streams that is science, commerce, arts and computer science.

Being on the outskirts of the Pune city, the college has inflow of students from lower middle class and rural area who do not otherwise have access to such guidance programme regarding the competitive examinations. Competitive Examinations Centre was established for coaching these students to compete for different examinations conducted by Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) and Banking examinations conducted by the Institution of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS).

4. The Practice

The Centre provides classroom teaching by experts in the respective domain. The students are provided with books, AC study room, LCD Projector, free internet, mock tests and mock interviews to sharpen their competitive skills. There is a separate AC study room for girls. The centre also provides opportunity for the students to interact with previous successful candidates. The students are also benefited by live lectures broadcast by Rayat Shikshan Sanstha through video conferencing.

A) Residential one month summer camp for girls

S. M. Joshi College, Hadapsar, Pune organized a Competitive exam guidance camp for girls from 5th to 27th May 2017. The college received special grant of Rs. 1,00,000/- (One Lakh Rupees) from Student Welfare Council, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune to organize this camp.
