The College provides weekly help for the students who are
ready to go the extra mile. Each department is available on
alternate weekends for the extra classes. During the course,
we do encourage the use of Harkness technique, peer
learning and student centered learning in classes which help
the students discuss/speak up ideas in an encouraging
open-minded environment with minimum teacher intervention.
The students who need individual attention are catered to
by providing one to one coaching on alternate week days.
Occasionally guest speakers are invited either to talk on
topics of interest for the students or to give the students a
step by step guide line towards a particular career.
Educational field trips are also arranged for the students to
broaden their vision. Some distinguished Co-curricular
Activities are: Pakistan Studies and Archive Society,
