Department of Economics

Number of teaching posts

SWOT analysis

Strength

• Inherent intelligence of the students
• Current awareness.
• Competitive attitude.

Weakness

• Lack of interest on the part of the faculty in doing research project.
• Poor attendance of the students.

Opportunities

• The department is so small in terms of number of students and teachers; it is an opportunity to come closer to the students as mentors for their future guidance.

Threats

• Inclination of the mother University syllabi of economics is becoming more mathematical and current affairs oriented which is dissuading mediocre students from taking economics as pass subject. As a result, number of students is drastically falling.

Future Plans

• Students shall be made more aware about general knowledge and current affairs so that they can face competitive examinations specially where there is dearth of job opportunities.
• Department will try to do minor research project under UGC.
• Technique of teaching shall be made more attractive by using Colourful Charts, Diagrams and Projectors so that students get more interest to attend classes.
• Publication of a Quarterly Economic Bulletin from January 2007 is Under Contemplation.
