CURRICULAR ASPECTS OF THE COLLEGE Our college offers 9 UG and 5 PG programmes, of which 1 UG Programme (B.Com) and 3 P.G programmes are under the self-financing stream. No new programmes were added during this academic year. Efforts are underway; to convert all PG programmes to government aided programmes. College also conducts UGC sponsored career oriented programmes, Computer Hardware & Networking and Accounting practices under the department of Computer Science and the department of Commerce respectively. Among the 9 UG programmes, 3 programmes are worth mentioning. UGC has sanctioned BA Islamic Finance with Computer Application as an Innovative Programme and B.Voc Software Technologies and Broadcasting & Journalism as vocational programmes, in line with the policy of the government for the skill development. All programmes, except the career oriented programmes, are following the Choice Based Credit Semester System as directed by the University of Calicut. The college regularly takes feedback from different stakeholders like students, parents, and alumni as a part of academic quality initiative. The system has been completely automated with the introduction of a Computerized Information System, which is right now under the trial run. Since the college is affiliated to the University of Calicut and not an autonomous college, we are forced to follow the syllabi and academic calendar of the University. Drafting or changing the curriculum is not allowed as per the present university rules & regulations. No new departments or centers are added during this academic year. 2. TEACHING & LEARNING Presently 17 non-teaching staff and 65 teaching staff, out of them 38 are guest members, are working in the college. The total numbers of Associate professors are 7, and remaining faculties are Assistant Professors. Out of the 27 permanent teachers, 9 are Ph.D. holders and 3 teachers are waiting for viva after submitting their thesis. Though M.Com and BA Economics programmes have sanctioned as aided programmes by the government in 2013, new posts have not been created so far, and hence contract faculties have been appointed by the college for the smooth conduct of the programmes. 1 contract faculty each in Economics and Islamic Finance was appointed during this period. In accordance with the regulation of the B.Voc programmes, several visiting faculties from Software and Media Industries are handling classes for the students of B.Voc programmes.
