Assessing Learning Levels

Bridge Course

During the admission process, all students are informed about the bridge course and the course work available on the website (videos and worksheet). The subject teachers instruct the students to refer the videos and submit the duly completed assignments once the classes commence. The date for the Bridge Course Exam is communicated to the students. Few contact classes by respective subject teachers are conducted to clarify the doubts of the students in the topics of the test. A one hour written test for 20 marks is administered.

The Remedial Class Committee identifies slow learners through Bridge Course Test and eventually these students will get enrolled to the remedial classes.

Remedial Programme

Remedial Coaching is a midcourse improvement program that is organized each semester with the objective of hand-holding our students and providing learning support to improve their academic performance. The institution believes in ‘Cura personalis’- personal care and concern for the individual and it is one of hallmarks of Ignatian philosophy. Here individual care and attention is given to each learner. Remedial coaching is one of the efforts undertaken in this regard.

The remedial programme at SJCC is the backbone of academic excellence. In this programme students who require academic support are identified and offered one- on-one assistance by advanced learners.

The institution structured remedial programs with the peer learning model in order to enhance the students' interest in learning and to make the learning process a more joyful experience. In this model of peer support, the teaching is handled by a 'student tutor’ who will be responsible to teach the ‘student tutees' under the guidance of the subject teacher. The tutors will be guided with respect to the concepts and topics to be covered by the respective subject teachers.

Buddy Programme

Academic year 2018-19 saw the introduction of buddy program to deepen the efficacy of academic assistance to students. This program is based on the peer learning model. Students who need academic support are identified and allocated under students who have the capability to extend academic support. This one-on-one model offers greater attention and personalized support to the students.

Parent Teacher Association

The Parent Teacher Association is a vital and dynamic body of the Institution which aims at providing parents, an accessible platform, to review the progress of their wards and to bring to the notice of the faculty, problems faced by them if any. The PTA discusses several topics, ranging from academics and extracurricular activities to the infrastructure of the Institution. It endeavors to recognize the potential of the students and help them achieve it.

The Parents–Teacher Association (PTA) serves as a vital bridge connecting families and the college to support the academic success and personal growth of our students. Annual Parent–Teacher Meetings provide an open platform for parents and faculty members to connect, share ideas, and address concerns. These interactions help families better understand the college’s values and educational mission, while allowing teachers to learn more about each student's needs and aspirations.

St. Joseph’s College of Commerce successfully organized Parent–Teacher Meetings for first-year undergraduate students on 22 August and 12 September 2026. Attended by nearly 1,000 parents across B.Com, BBA, BA, and B.Sc. streams, the sessions featured structured time-slot management, where the interactions focussed on attendance, mid-term test performance, academic progress, and college portal access, thus strengthening parent-institutional collaboration.
