competitiveness of an institution to attract the best students, its status, the socioeconomic, educational and

cultural ethos in which the institution operates and the public accreditation it enjoys depend on the

effectiveness of such arrangements.

All above factors where taken care while designing the present best practice in Yashavantrao

Chavan Institute of Science, Satara.

Lack of information about these activities or a failure to disseminate information about the benefits

of such services to students.

Lack of awareness and adequate design of the best practice with proper coaching and infrastructure
