Few students have been obtaining first class across the semesters thereby the overall result of the department is more or less good. Our students attend classes regularly. They are attentive, sincere and disciplined. They participate in sports and cultural competitions regularly. After passing-out, few students are pursuing Post-graduation, few are already employed while few are preparing themselves for competitive examinations.
