Effective from the academic year 2011-12 the College introduced The Preparatory / Bridge Course for the Students of College of all the courses It is experienced that students taking admission in the college are often not completely familiar with the basic concepts that may not be a part of the Third Year curriculum but are essential for a better understanding of the curriculum. The purpose of this course is to introduce the students, in a structured manner to many such concepts and enhance their appreciation of the subject that they have opted for in the course. The programme will not cover topics included in the syllabus, but will touch upon certain topics dealt with in the previous syllabus, only by way of recapitulation. The course is expected to serve as a stepping stone to the course. It will introduce the students to strengthen the concepts that will be applied during the course but are not directly taught in the course. Each department designs Study Material and distribute it to the students at the commencement of the course. The course content will contain a bibliography of reference books. These books will help enhance the students understanding of the topics taught in the various courses. The course is preceded by a test of 50 marks to test the students' knowledge of the topics that are to be covered during the bridge course. They will be given a feedback on their performance so that they are convinced of the need to take the bridge course. The course will end with another test to study the effectiveness of the sessions. It is important for an educational institution to be sensitive towards the educational needs of the students, and develop course material to meet the challenges faced in learning. The Preparatory / Bridge Course is conducted during the first week after the reopening of the college Bridge course and open book text with effect from the academic year 2015-16. With the introduction of credit based system, the curriculum is structured in three or four parts per semester. Further under credit base evaluation system, the bachelor degree to the students is awarded on the basis of marks obtained by them in all six semesters. Hence the first four semesters for which examination is conducted by the college are equally important. However, It is observed in last three years, that the students are not a performing well in college examinations. Hence to bring a sense of sincerity towards semester examination and to ensure continuous assessment, the college introduced with an open book test for the students after the completion of unit 1 and unit 3 of the course.
