The Practice :Since its establishment in 2004 , the Career Counselling Cell has continuously been trying to enhance employability of the students. For last 4 years all final semester students attend an Employability Skills Training Programmeunder Mahindra & Mahindra’s CSR initiative “Mahindra Pride Classroom”. They also provide job related information to the students. Entry in Service portal in College Website has been designed to help the students preparing for competitive examination. Various vocational courses are also arranged from time to time. . We are continuously in touch with District Employment Exchange , Govt of West Bengal They arrange Career Counselling sessions, Entrepreneurship Development Workshop for our students. Students get opportunity to attend job fair and join various job oriented free courses. The College also takes part in University arranged with employers like TCS, IBM and others to open up job prospects for the students.
Achievements: All such efforts are exposing our students to diverse job opportunities in current private sector dominated market economy. They are entering into the job market. A few have got placement directly from College initiative. Some are coming forward to start their own businesses. As a whole, they are gradually being motivated to accept jobs other than teaching or government services( traditional sectors for employment of educated women). In the process our students(mostly from humble background) are becoming aware of the significance of financial independence for their empowerment.
The Practice: NEP (2020) has emphasized the importance of job oriented education system. For a long period Indian education system has been criticized to be delinked from job market. University of Calcutta has introduced Credit and Curricular Framework (2022) following NEP. Internship program is compulsory in this structure. The College has built up an Internship Cell to implement this programme.With the assistance of this Cell,all departments took serious effort so that students of all courses(of Semester II) could successfully complete internship. Diversified fields and organisations were explored for this purpose. A special mention is worth for two self designed field based internship programme organized by the Cell in collaboration with the IQAC.
Achievement: Other than Skill development Students were exposed to work environment which is likely to be immensely beneficial for them in future. Liaison has been established with various government, private and non governmentorganisations. This has long term positive impact on the College.
