WEAKNESS

• In the recent academic sessions after introducing CBCS programme since 2019 the number of student enrolled become lower and it is due to withdrawal of non major programmes from the college.
• No of permanent faculty is very few and it is only two against the number of classes allotted per week , further department has to maintain classes in two campus Arts and Commerce about one kilometer apart from each other, thus authority has to appoint a temporary faculty in each academic session during the peak hours of classes.
• The Department even doesn`t have sufficient classroom to manage her classes, even in the general class routine prepare on behalf of authority allots three classes in the departmental classroom, whereas department has only one departmental class room and two third of which is used for teaching- learning and another one-third is used for Departmental library. This departmental class room is also apart and away from the department.
• A very few qualitative students Enrolled in the Department.
• The Department has maximum student enrolment from economically weaker section of the society. In her major enrollment maximum are female students, and many of them in every academic session get married by their parents and which leads an unexpected drop out.
• Affiliating University has no Scope of P.G. course in this subject.

OPPORTUNITIES

• As the subject has a utility sector like media thus there are huge opportunities of job in public and private sector and also a scope of entrepreneur.
• Scope of job in the field of translator in the national and international field.

CHALLENGES

• Due to the choice of English Medium in the School level and much Bengali medium Govt. school converted into English medium the total number of enrolment decreasing day by day. In this case government interference in case of language option also more or less responsible.
• As maximum students belong to the economically weaker section thus they have to engage in the jobs to earn money and somewhere they cannot manage to continue their studies.
• Now a days regular class attendance is mandatory due to internal assessment of the students, therefore it become harder to manage regular classes and earn money at a time by a student.
• Drop out of girl students due to their early marriage as poor guardians prefer to get married their girl as early as possible rather continue study.
• Insufficient permanent faculty member.
• Meet the infrastructure and academic needs like sufficient class room, Library books, Departmental Computer.
• Value education of the Learner.
