Since the students come from economically backward family so we are providing free admission to them. 4. Low fees structure in comparison to other colleges such that higher education is affordable to the economically weaker students. Students could not afford the higher amount of fee structure so college offers low fee structure to students. 5. Organizing educational extension programmes for benefit of the students.

Lack of proper initiative to reduce unemployment problem as per students’ expectation. Majority of the students have aim in life to engage in a job for economic benefit. 2. Lack of strong initiative to create national & international level of competitive environment for the students’ progression. College should provide coaching classes to the students to appear competitive examinations like APSC, Bank examinations, TET, PET etc. 3. Lack of meritorious students’ enrollment. Since the college is situated in a rural and educationally backward environment and the feeder schools have no quality product of students. 4. Limited range of programme option. Since the college has been providing only Arts stream and science stream has just been introduced with six subjects. Student need more programme options. 5. Lack of required fund for infrastructure development such as permanent boys’ hostel, boys’ /girl’s permanent common room, modern well-equipped playground, cultural hall and Teachers’ quarters and other necessary buildings. Though we have received RUSA grant and Govt. of Assam grant for infrastructure development which was not sufficient to construct the above facilities. 6. The college is yet to obtain the special status of a University with Potential for Excellence, UGC-CPE, DST Star Scheme, UGC-CE, UGC-Special Assistance Programme, DST-FIST, UGC-Innovative PG programmes or UGC-COP Programmes. 7. Limited number of permanent teachers in comparison to requirement as the state government has not sanctioned new posts for the last 20 years. Since for introduction of CBCS system and science stream, classes are increased, the permanent teachers could not accommodate all the classes. 8. Lack of full-fledged health care centre. Sometimes the students fell ill during college hours we have to take the students to nearby Khumtai PHE hospital. 9. Lack of strong Industry-Institute interaction/collaboration. For quality education it is necessary collaboration with industry/institute for upgradation of their knowledge and also job placement. 10. Lack of strong students’ placement strategy. Since the students have aim in life to engage in a job after completion of higher education. The college should provide placement facilities such that they can establish in life.
