Academic Support

• The College has noticed a good trend of buddy groups of study mates on the campuses, with the support of campus staff members and it is really encouraged that students continue with such groups and encourage those who have not joined to do so. Though there is no research that has been done we have seen a general improvement in results across all the programmes.
