Special Measures
Students admitted in the college belong to rural background and various social strata. A few students pursued their higher secondary education in vernacular medium. Based on the academic performance of the students in tests/ seminars/ assignments and also considering the skill set in each course, the slow learners and advanced learners are identified. Advanced & Slow learners are identified through their performance in examinations, interaction in class room and laboratory, their fundamental knowledge, concept understanding and articulation abilities etc.
Mechanism for Identifying Advanced Learners and the Methodology Adopted for:
The Institute promotes independent learning that contributes to their academic and personal growth. Advanced learners are honed to build their capacity and widen their knowledge by providing challenging topics, case studies, critical problems etc. Guest lectures are arranged to create awareness and to throw light on research activities.
The advanced learners are further motivated to participate in National/ International Conferences, Workshops, Essay Writing, Elocutions and Drawing Competitions as per their interest. Counseling is provided for the advanced learners to take up competitive examinations. The advanced learners are being given an additional care for the betterment of their performance, based on the nature and interest of the student as per the changing scenario. Thus, measures have been taken like intellectual stimulation through independent projects and assignments, asking deeper questions to go from factual to the conceptual, an access to books in the library and special guidance to inspire the students to crack competitive exams.

Mechanism for Identifying Slow Learners and the Methodology Adopted for:
Students who cannot learn at an average rate from instructional design and learning materials that are designed for all students in each course and based on the mere performance in the internal tests are identified as slow learners.
Considering the rural background of Yanam, separate steps have been identified to develop the learning abilities of the students. The student mentors assess the nature of the students’ problems and then motivate them in a friendly way to reach their academic goals. Simplified material is provided to them as part of developing their performance.
Apart from the regular classroom teaching, periodic remedial classes are organized for clarifying doubts, re-explaining of critical topics for improving performance and special classes are held for their improvement. Slow learners who are not able to manage with the teaching in regular classes, are assisted through clarification of their doubts, revising important concepts and extra assignments to strengthen their learning. Majority of the students approach the instructor for clarification of doubts at their respective staff rooms.
Apart from this, the slow learners are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities as per their area of interest. The above-mentioned exercises have proved to be fruitful in improving the performance of the students.
Apart from this Career Guidance & Placement Cell of our college organizes several programs for the development of skill- set among all the learners.
