                                          Weaknesses   

                                                                    Most of the students are economically and academically underpriviledged

                                                                    Composite college complex hence have to share infrastructure available

                                                                    Majority of the students are "Earning while Learning Students". they find it

                                                                    difficult to keep terms with the college sometimes and  complete the course.

                                                                    Maximum of the students are first generation learners.

                                          Opportunities

                                                                          and get an opportunity for all round development of themselves.

                                                                       we have M.Com Course in Distance Mode as most of our students are working, it is the opprtunity

                                                                       for further study.

                                          Challenges

                                                                           family support

                                                                           Many colleges within the nearby area offering Commerce as undergraduate course.
