SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strengths:
Satisfactory results. The students of the Department
have been receiving ranks in University Examinations

Weaknesses:
No reading room for seminar library.
Opportunities:
Students either pursue higher studies or get absorbed

Individual supervision of term paper of huge number
of students
More emphasis on solving university model and actual
questions in different examinations. reduce the number
of students getting admission in Economics (Honours)
In order to improve interaction with students and take
individual care of each student.
Challenges:
Future plans:
