Sindri College Sindri set up in 1963 got its first cycle of NAAC grading in 2017 and is preparing for the 2nd cycle.
“In 2017, the college got ‘B’ grading and narrowly missed ‘A’ grade. However, this time the institution has enough infrastructure ( barring faculty members) to get a better grading,” said a senior professor of the college.
The authorities of Sindri College admitted that shortage of faculty members is a major bottleneck in getting a better grade.
There not a single teacher in chemistry and mathematics. Political science, English, botany, zoology, physics and history have single teacher each to hold all the classes.
“Yes, the college has already informed the university for appointment of teachers in crisis ridden departments so that the institution can gear up in full fledge for the NAAC visit,” said a college official.
