The College started functioning since then with three courses viz., Bachelor of Mass Media (B.M.M), Bachelor of Management Studies (B.M.S) and Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com). The institute got permission from Mumbai University to start the Courses of Bachelor of Arts (B.A) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in the year 2018-19.
The institute got permission to start Master of Commerce (M.Com) since 2020. From a humble beginning of less than 100 students, today the college has more than 1300 students on its roll.
Despite the institute is located in a rural, hilly and tribal area, our college runs in full swing in all streams. The teachers of the college have been picked up from the local area to integrate with locals.
This helps in bridging the communication gap between the teacher and the student. Teachers supplement teaching with various co-curricular activities like field study, nature trails, field projects, rallies, competition and so on. The College has a vibrant NSS unit that organizes a number of activities for the all round development of students.
Tree plantation drive, blood donation drive, swach bharat abhiyan, etc. are the regular features of the College. The College also organizes a number of workshops and seminars for students. The outcome of this blended teaching-earning is clearly reflected in the success rate of students at final year examinations, with average pass percentage of the College for the assessment period being around 90%.
The success rate of students in the College is highest in the region and much above the average results of the University.
The College is spread over a vast area of five acres of land with natural beauty. The College has adequate infrastructure for effective teaching learning processes. Adjoining to the College, the government has constructed a bund, where the College students too performed ‘shramdan’. The students take part in various social and cultural activities enthusiastically.
The college has well equipped labs for science students. The College has provided the facility of neat and clean toilets for both boys and girls. Clean drinking water facility is being provided. The Society also waives the fees of poor students. Students are also given a facility of paying fees in installments.
Although, the College is located in tribal area with limited job prospects, many of our students have got jobs in corporate and banks. The journey of the College from 2012 to 2022 has convinced the tribals that education is must for all round development of their children and for their progress.
The College also provides ample opportunities to sports and cultural enthusiasts. Two of our students reached have participated in Badminton and Athletics sports at the national level. Our students are sincerely involved in National Service Scheme (NSS) too. The college has also formed various Statutory Cells like SC/ST Cell, OBC Cell, Grievance Redressal Cell, Anti-ragging Cell and Internal Complaint Committee (ICC).
The Society has submitted a proposal for starting programmes in Law and Pharmacy over a period of the next two years. Under the NEP, 2020, the Society plans to set up a University catering to the higher educational needs of tribals in Badlapur region.
