Objectives:

· To guide the students for various competitive examinations.

· To set up an Employment Information Cell in the college.

· To provide the guidance of top level administrative officers and resource persons for inspiration to the students.

· To motivate and inspire the students to appear for State Administrative Services, Bank, LIC, Railway and other administrative services at central and state level.

· Take efforts for comprehensive personality development of the students.

Need and Significance:

             Nowadays large numbers of girl students opt for a career in administrative services. Many girl students successfully qualify different exams for the same. The number of girl students from the rural areas is increasing day by day. Our students have to join private coaching class for preparing for such competitive exams. The fees of such coaching classes are beyond their reach. They cannot afford the fees because they are economically backward. In spite of their sincerity and talent they cannot fulfill their dreams of entering into administrative services by passing the competitive examinations. If coaching is provided to the students in the college itself with study material these students may surely pass and acquire higher posts in the administration.
