SWOC ANALYSIS
Strength
- Highly qualified faculty as per UGC norms
- Skilled ICT Team
- Availability of e-learning resources
- Upgraded Lab facilities
- Research oriented faculty working in collaboration with Mathematicians from reputed institutes
Weakness.
- Students have to opt for Physics as the major subject in TYBSc.
- Lack of Autonomy to design courses & curriculum
