Graduation from SRCC is often a visiting card to greater ventures in life

No. 1 in commerce

How has SRCC managed to stay at the top in commerce education in India?

At SRCC, the student is sublimed, distilled, immersed, refined, redefined and completely transformed by an encouraging environment that promotes both didactic and autodidactic learning and development. The students are taught and mentored by faculty members who are known and respected for their research and books. A large number of books for nearly all subjects in the discipline have been written by SRCC faculty members….

The biggest strength of pursuing a course at SRCC is the associated brand name of the institution and the pride of being an ‘SRite’. A graduate degree at SRCC often acts as a visiting card to greater ventures in life.

How did you innovate during the pandemic?

We had to ensure academic well-being during the lockdown and pursuant to the university notice on March 13, 2020, a staff council meeting was convened for strategising how best the process of teaching-learning would continue during lockdown. It was decided that faculty, in addition to providing e-resources through the institutional website, would explore and adopt multi-modal channels to deliver the curriculum, such as taking online classes.

To address anxiety and stress, especially of the students, during the lockdown, a coordinated strategy has been formulated and implemented by the counselling services. Two senior faculty members were appointed as nodal officers for formally counselling and addressing student queries.

What are your plans for this academic year?

Owing to the ongoing pandemic, the college continues to function in a hybrid mode, where teaching and learning is conducted online and only limited staff visit the college. Our college plans to enhance its environmental profile in a major way and emerge as a role model in the same. Our solar power project is nearly complete and has started generation of electricity. We have also developed our in-house solid waste management system. We also plan to introduce more value-added courses in collaboration with industry partners to further enhance the skill and growth profile of our students.
