Message of the H. O. D
We have five full time teachers. The student strength of each honours class is 40. In spite of all the limitations for being located in a suburb, the consistent and brilliant results of our students have made us proud, e.g. this year the final university results of our students have lifted our department to the status of the second best one after Presidency College. The teachers of our department are very much active to introduce up-to-date teaching methods. We organise significant seminars and workshops regularly for the last ten years.
