Majority of the departments of SGSAC conduct specific Certificate courses, Bridge courses etc. for students who require extra knowledge there by augmenting their academic standards. For all first year students Orientation Programs are organized in the beginning of every year to bring awareness among students about college and hostel premises and faculty. All the students are introduced to their respective faculty members. All the departments prepare Time Tables in the beginning of the semester and all the faculty members strictly adhere to their individual time tables for effective implementation and smooth functioning of class work without any hindrance. All departments are strictly advised to plan for the conduct of Unit Tests, University Internal Examinations and other co-curricular activities Departmental reports pertaining to examinations and attendance of students are collected at the end of each semester and the progress of the students is analyzed. Based on the departmental reports, the students are categorized into slow learners and advanced learners.

                At SGSAC supplementing the pursuit of effective curriculum execution is also the effective tutorial and mentor ward system. The college also facilitates an amalgamation of academic and mental health of our students through the mentor-mentee system where each student is assigned a faculty mentor for academic and extra-academic guidance. The academic and other issues faced by students are suitably addressed through interactions and meetings offered by teachers with students as well as their parents. Our institution follows an empathetic approach trying to raise the consciousness of our students about how gender-based inequalities, neglect of environmental concerns and lack of ethics hamper an individual's growth. We give top priority for women education and women empowerment.
