Best Practices

1. As the majority of students are first-generation learners from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the department focuses on fostering student-centric teaching and learning approaches.
2. Department continually strives to inculcate an economic way of thinking in students so that they can make more prudent economic decisions in real-world settings.
3. Regularly, the department's faculty members provide hands-on training on various statistical software, enabling students to acquire the knowledge of analyzing real-world data to draw meaningful conclusions and the concept of policy formulation so that they become industry-ready. Students can learn the methods for data collection and filtering techniques, coding, and how to effectively present and interpret the data by participating in their faculty' project work. This promotes experiential learning.
4. Department arranges special mentoring classes and counseling sessions for academically backward students to assist them in understanding the subject matter more easily. To complete the syllabus on time, faculties frequently take extra classes online beyond college hours after obtaining permission from the Principal to benefit the students.

Placement & Progression

Presently, many students have secured their place in employment by passing with Sociology Honours. Now,they are working in various career fields. Some are also pursuing highe r education. Since the Department of Sociology was introduced in the college in 2015. That's why the number of sociology (Hons.) students is very less here. Hope the number of students will increase in the future.
