The college also believes in a strong interaction between teachers and the parents. At least once a year, a formal parent-teacher's meeting is held. Besides this, at various formal and informal levels, the teachers are in contact with the parents. For students having irregularities in attendance, the teachers get in touch with the parents. The parents of those students who are likely to go into the defaulter's list, are informed in advance by personal meeting and their wards are given a chance to improve, so that their terms can be granted. For any misbehaviour / misconduct, the Principal meets the guardian / parent before taking any strict disciplinary measures. This helps to maintain a discipline, with the humane approach that is required. There is also a Parents Teachers Association set up to receive feedback from the parents and to involve them in the growth of the College.
