  • D.D.Shinde Sarkar College, Kolhapur

Pure English Medium College

Our college is affiliated to Shivaji University as an English Medium college and we have religiously preserved this character. I am proud to mention that ours is the only purely English medium College in the jurisdiction of Shivaji University. Members of the staff teach only in English and choose to tell the meaning of difficult words in simple English rather than in Marathi. The students are instructed not to speak in Marathi and their attempt at it attracts penalty. The members of the staff too speak with one another in English. Even in the office one would be taken aback to hear the conversation in English. In short, it may be said without any exaggeration that our College is an English speaking island in Marathi ocean.

Attendance

Member of the staff keep the attendance record for every lecture and a consolidation record is made by the concerned teacher for each class every day. Absence for one lecture is treated as absence for whole day. If the student fails to tender a plausible reason for being absent the next day, he or she is fined Rs. 10/-. All students are instructed to apply for leave of absence or to submit a leave note after his/her coming to the college. This has consistently improved desired effect on the overall discipline resulting in the absence from the class without the permission of the Principle or his knowledge leads to the removal of student from the college.

It may sound a boast, we do not admit scholars but we produce Scholars but it is true. We have no cut off for admission of students. No capitation fee is charged and we have our doors open to all who seek admission here. Even a 35% student is taught equally well. Our college results are in the neighborhood of 100%. Our college attracts a sizeable number of foreign students from African countries such as Sudan, Kenya and Ethopia.
