The college takes every possible measure to understand the needs and requirements of the students before the commencement of the program. Students are counseled at the time of admission and an orientation program is organized in which students are familiarized with the course, mode of internal assessment as well as facilities available in the college. In the beginning of every academic year, teachers are nominated as the mentor of a class. As per the guidelines by University of Mumbai from time to time, internal assessment/ assignment/ presentations are the part of curriculum. In case of certain departments like BMS/ BAF, students are assessed with their Research skill also & continued by viva voce examination at the end of semester.

The academic ability of the students is judged by the concerned subject teachers based on the performance in internal assessments and are segregated as slow and advanced learners. A well-stocked library provides access to books, Journals and e-resources to the students to improve their academic ability. Since the students have different learning abilities, the institute initiated remedial coaching for slow learners, and every department sets the time table for remedial coaching for weak students. Advanced learner gets motivated by orientation program to appear for competitive exams. The Bridge courses are also conducted for all the science and arts students who take admissions into the BMS and BAF Courses.

2) Installment Facilities

Book Bank Facility
Instalment Facility for payment of fees.

Introduction: Shurparaka Educational and Medical Trust’s Moinuddin. B. Harris College of Arts and A.E. Kalsekar College of Commerce and Management is located in an area where students from underprivileged backgrounds come to enrol in self-financing or degree-compromising courses. The majority of students are unable to afford the standard course expenses. The Trust's Management takes a compassionate approach to this issue and makes sure that students in the weaker student groups complete their education without any financial hindrances. The majority of the underprivileged and worthy students have their course fees managed by management from various sources, who also assist them in pursuing their study beyond graduation. The college's Book Bank Scheme was implemented by the management and principal with consideration for the financial situation of the students. This initiative has improved student outcomes while increasing efficiency.
1. Objective of the Practice: The objective of the practice are as follows:

• To identify outstanding students
• To identify needy and deserving students
• To get good results in College Exams and University Examination

2. Context: A. E. Kalsekar College is an unaided College which is affiliated to University of Mumbai. It is situated in a locality where minorities and weaker section students reside and obtain education in available institutions. The Management of the college not only desires to provide education to the weaker section of the society but also ensure that students do not discontinue their education due to lack of facilities and financial availability. The Principal and the Management decided to help the students through the BOOK BANK Scheme. For the Book Bank Scheme the principal formed a Book Bank Committee under which its procedure, rules and regulations were framed. As per this decision every academic year, it is ensured that Book Bank sets are distributed among students.
3. Practice: As soon as college opens for a new academic year, notices are displayed for the students to collect Book Bank Scheme Application forms. A deadline is given to the students for the submission of Book Bank Application forms. After the collection of application forms, applicants’ interviews are held, teacher In charge ensures that needy and deserving students are selected for Book Bank sets. After the interviews, Book Bank sets are distributed among the students. Students are informed to return the sets immediately after their examinations. Those students who do not return the sets, several reminders are given with a nominal fine. At last their mark sheets are held and their Leaving Certificates are not issued.
4. Event of Success: After the introduction of the Book Bank Scheme, it was noted that those students who are issued sets of Books are passed with better results. Due to this resource, a respectable percentage of students from the surrounding area are admitted to the college. A total number of 483 students benefited from this practice in the academic year 2023-24.
5. Problems Encountered: Due to financial problems many selected students do not opt for Book Bank Scheme. It is found that students do not pay the Book Bank fee charges happily. Further those students who obtain the Book Bank Sets are found frequently absent in the college. Since they have books available with them, they wish to study at home and prepare themselves for examinations at their homes.

Instalment Facility for payment of fees
Introduction: Shurparaka Educational and Medical Trust’s Moinuddin. B. Harris College of Arts and A.E. Kalsekar College of Commerce and Management has adopted an Instalment facility which is given to all the students irrespective of the caste or creed especially who are from economically weaker sections of the society. Since the very beginning, the Trust and Management had a vision to help the needy and deserving students financially. To bring this into action Instalment facility has been started. And it has been found to be the best practice of the institution.
1.Objective of the Practice: The objective of the practice are as follows:
a) To increase the number of students
b) To benefit the weaker sections of the society especially our local areas.
c) To develop the area by educating girls, who are deprived from education due to financial difficulties
2. Context: Since many of the students were first-generation college students, they needed encouragement to pursue higher education. But because of the college's remote location and the families' financial struggles, a large number of students left school early. In order to address this problem, the college's management considered offering education to the less fortunate members of society by implementing an instalment plan as a support system. The trust and management made the decision to provide financial support to students by allowing them to pay whenever it is most convenient for them, in an effort to prevent students from quitting school due to a lack of funds. The management and principal made the decision to provide the students with an instalment plan.
3. Practice: As a practice, the office staff collects only 25% fees of the total amount from whatever stream the student may be. The student gets admission only on the payment of this amount. The remaining amount can be paid by the students in 4 equal or unequal instalments throughout the year before the final examination. Proper records are maintained and follow ups are done by the Teaching and Non-teaching staff.
4. Evidence of Success: It was observed that students who had dropped out early owing to financial difficulties were re-admitted even after taking academic breaks after the implementation of the instalment facility. This facility allowed a large number of students from the surrounding area to be admitted to the college. It was also found that every year the number of students kept on increasing gradually. As per this decision every academic year, the number of girl students is also constantly increasing.
5. Problems Encountered: Due to the installment facility given to all the students, it was found that even financially good students do not pay the remaining fees taking undue advantage. Several reminders had to be given to pay the balance fees amount. The genuine cases were considered and they turned into bad debts. Also at the beginning of the college it becomes difficult to meet the college expenses out of the amount collected as down payment from the students which is a tough task to be performed by the management.

ZAKAT FUND by management in 2023-24.
The vision of college is to make sound quality higher education in India by combining internal and external quality assessment, promotion, and maintenance programmes. For achieving this objective we provide zakat to the underprivileged and needy students.
This money helps deserving and needy students to educate themselves and get employed, especially the first-generation learners. Our college inculcated this practice by benefiting its own college students as a practice for the betterment of the students, their families and society. Feeding those less fortunate than us is great but this is not always sustainable for long periods. So, is it not better that we help them to become self-sufficient and stand on their own two feet to support themselves and their families? Clearly, yes, and this can be achieved through education, which, in due course will give them a head start as they pursue employment opportunities. Recipients are the poor and needy students irrespective of their caste or creed, who cannot afford to get education due to financial problems.
The total number of students benefited by Zakat and also by Interest fund in the academic year 2023-24 is as follows:
1. ZAKAT FUND: TOTAL NO OF STUDENTS: 08, AMOUNT RS:20000.
INTEREST FUND: TOTAL NO OF STUDENT:02, AMOUNT RS:5000.
