Academic Excellence Anchored in National Standards

At Harish Chandra Degree College, excellence is not a slogan—it is a system. Our programs are designed to reflect the quality parameters outlined by NAAC and the academic vision of the University Grants Commission (UGC), enabling departments to continuously upgrade syllabi, assessments, and mentoring practices. We encourage outcome-based education, peer learning, and continuous internal evaluation so students can track progress and build confidence. Faculty development and student research circles create a collaborative environment where curiosity thrives. With a focus on analytical writing, presentations, and field-based learning, students acquire both subject depth and transferable skills. The college also promotes responsible use of open educational resources, asking learners to strengthen classroom study with self-paced MOOCs on SWAYAM and curated content from the NDLI. This ecosystem ensures that our graduates are ready for competitive exams, higher studies, and industry roles with equal poise.

CBCS, Skill Integration, and Lifelong Learning

In keeping with NEP 2020’s emphasis on flexibility and multidisciplinary perspectives, our teaching adopts key ideas of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). CBCS empowers students to personalize their academic journey through core, elective, and skill courses; for an overview of CBCS principles, refer to UGC’s guideline documents widely shared by universities (CBCS overview). We integrate employability-oriented modules, internships, and value-added add-on certifications to strengthen career readiness. Learners explore communication, data basics, entrepreneurship, and social innovation alongside their main disciplines. Beyond classrooms, continuous engagement with SWAYAM Plus helps students earn industry-aligned credentials, while the National Digital Library broadens access to journals, e-books, and reference collections. With mentoring, remedial support, and bridge courses, the college ensures every learner finds the right pace and pathway. This blend of academic freedom, structured guidance, and open resources cultivates confident graduates who can learn, unlearn, and relearn across their careers.

Student Support, Scholarships, and Career Opportunities

We believe that financial constraints should never hinder talent. Eligible students are guided to apply on the Government of India’s National Scholarship Portal (NSP) for centrally sponsored schemes, while learners from Uttar Pradesh may explore the state’s Scholarship and Fee Reimbursement Online System for pre- and post-matric support. Our admission and scholarship help desk conducts orientations on documentation, renewal timelines, and status tracking, ensuring first-time applicants feel supported. To enhance employability, the college motivates students to pursue internships through the AICTE Internship Portal, where opportunities from public institutions and industry partners are regularly listed. Workshops on résumé writing, interview skills, aptitude, and digital literacy prepare learners for placements and competitive examinations. With clubs for culture, sports, and social outreach, students build leadership and teamwork that complement academic achievement—creating a holistic profile appreciated by universities and employers alike.

Culture, Community, and the HC Spirit

Harish Chandra Degree College proudly blends scholarship with cultural excellence. The campus calendar features literary fests, debates, theatre, music, art exhibitions, and heritage walks that celebrate India’s plural traditions and local identity. In line with NEP 2020, we encourage civic engagement, environmental stewardship, and inclusive practices that welcome students from diverse backgrounds. Learners leverage SWAYAM for interdisciplinary enrichment and the NDLI for project research, weaving digital fluency into every activity. Faculty mentors help clubs collaborate on community outreach—literacy drives, cleanliness campaigns, health awareness, and support for local artisans—so students experience the joy of learning beyond classrooms. This culture of participation, discipline, and respect gives every newcomer a sense of belonging. When you walk through our gates, you join a living tradition: to think clearly, act ethically, serve society, and carry forward the Harish Chandra spirit with pride.
