7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format provided in the Manual.
BEST PRACTICE – 1
Amalgamation of Personality and Behavioral Development through Grooming Classes
The motto of the College is ‘To Grow with Education and Innovation’. LPCPS offers grooming classes at free of cost to its students as part of their curriculum. Through grooming classes the college aims to prepare the children as well- behaved ones and responsible citizens. The main objectives of grooming classes are:
Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies has a continuous policy of inclusivity and plurality. It is the vision of the college to empower its students through holistic and innovative education system. Hence, the college reaches out to its students as it is challenging for them to cope with the feelings and clarify beliefs and expectations, when they enter a corporate environment. This is reflected in their low selections in corporates at under- graduate level throughout the city.
The Management, in consultation with The Governing Body, decided that the best way to solve the problem is to provide grooming classes within the college premises. As a result several MoU were signed between College and outside parties.
The result of this experiment was tangible and students overcame their fear of facing interviews and qualifying competitive exams.
Grooming classes are provided by LPCPS with an aim to benefit each and every student. Apart from their academic curriculum college also provides personality development classes for grooming the confidence to dress up, look presentable and confident every day while hitting their workplace. The best part of a grooming class is real-time experience, where students get a good platform to learn and implement the skills learnt. Senior students become role models for fresher’s which ultimately helps to maintain college culture of sharing the work of others.
Grooming classes are divided in various fields which include courses related to student’s interest and necessary for their future job related interviews. Following is the detail of grooming classes:

At LPCPS the faculty members are fully research oriented along with teaching caliber. Overall, four MRPs were conducted by the two departments, viz., department of computer science and department of science jointly.
Major Research Project practice divide research aim into several parts and address each part separately:
The intention of conducting the Major Research Projects was to add knowledge in the area, to devise and test a solution to an existing problem and to address the existing gap in the knowledge. The benefits of research projects are highly useful for the society in general and developing countries like India in particular. The following Four MRPs were funded by Lucknow Public Educational Society, A- Block, Rajaji Puram, Lucknow under the R&D Grant-in-Aid Scheme.
