35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future Plans

Strength

• Mathematics department has a departmental Library for the students & teachers.
• Good faculty members associated with research activities.
• Percentage of the students attending the classes is very high.
• Classes are organized regularly.
• Discipline is maintained in the dept.
• The students have potential to opt. new concepts of Mathematics & ensure their capabilities in day to day modern challenges.
• The Research Scholars engage the classes due to shortage of teaching faculties.

Weakness

• Our dept. feels shortage of supporting staff like computer operator.
• Lack of ICT Facility in the department.
• Lack of Astronomical Telescope for PG Students & high profile Softwares.
• The department has no facilities for higher research.

Opportunity

• Job potential for Mathematics students is very high; many of them joined as PO and clerks in Nationalized Banks & school teachers of different levels.
• Very Scoring subject for all competitive exams.
• To facilitate with Higher Education.
• We provide ample opportunity to students to excel in every areas of life.
• Real research of any subject in social sciences is impossible without mathematics.

Challenges

• Our department is facing challenges incompletion of syllabus of B.Sc Hons. & M.Sc due to shortage of teaching facility and lack of sufficient rooms.
• Integration of subject with the emerging environment that is application of the subject with industries and Social life.
• The emphasis on applicability of mathematics in real life is the challenge of the hour & emerging Horizon.
• Conceptual Framework for the better understanding of the subject.
• To organize extension lectures by eminent resource person.
• We have to form a strong cell for generating employment opportunity to students.
• Example and application of each definition and theory of Mathematics should be included in the syllabus.

Future Plans

There is future plan to introduce ICT in the Teaching program and make smart class room

with Audio- visual facilities to help the students & to achieve excellence in the subject. More

& more students are to be enrolled and updating of professions in the subject through

orientation, Seminar and workshop etc.
