Identification of Students

  4. Student Requests: Students themselves can request additional support, which is taken into consideration.
  5. Parental Feedback: Inputs from parents during parent-teacher meetings may indicate the need for special academic support.

Implementation of Remedial Classes

  1. Subjects Covered: Remedial classes are offered for core commerce subjects such as Financial Accounting, Business Statistics, Economics, Business Law, and Taxation.
  2. Class Schedule: The remedial classes are scheduled outside regular academic hours, ensuring students do not miss any regular sessions. Typically, classes are held during afternoons or weekends.
  3. Faculty Involvement: Dedicated faculty members are assigned to handle remedial classes. These faculty members provide simplified learning materials and explanations, focusing on problem-solving and concept clarity.
  4. Customized Learning Material: Notes, handouts, and extra practice exercises are distributed to help students grasp fundamental concepts.
  5. Student Progress Monitoring: Continuous assessments are conducted during the remedial sessions to track improvement and identify persistent problem areas.

Special Coaching for Advanced Learners
