A productive interface between industry and academia, in the current era of a knowledge driven economy, is critical. Teaching at Srimad Andavan arts and science college (SAASC) is highly practical and focused on what the industry needs as it is evolved through constant interaction with leading professionals who are a part of the Industry and our Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). This creates a good academic atmosphere and an efficient decision making process based on consultation; and through these it aims to promote an overall development of students for the maximum realization of their potential.

Besides imparting theoretical knowledge, the curriculum stresses on developing analytical skills, communication, problem solving and team work abilities as required by industry. The requirements of industry are continuously updated through regular industry tracking / feedback. Hence, case studies, industry projects, presentations, research work and role-play relevant to practical education; form an integral part of a student's tenure at SAASC.

Personality Enhancement or soft skills on which industry lays great emphasis is greatly stressed at the campus and all students undergo special classes, workshops and modular courses like General Knowledge, Personality Development Programs, Value Added courses are taught by the faculty from various departments ,so that interpersonal skills, creativity and leadership qualities may build up to make them true leaders.
