SWOT OF CHAPTER

STRENGTHS

2. The Jurisdiction of the University is spread over three district viz. Kolhapur, Sangli & Satara with affiliation to 275 colleges and recognized Institutes.

4. Registration Facility is provided in the Chapter Office.

6. Kolhapur Chapter of WIRC of ICSI
WEAKNESS
1. It has been observed while conducting Career Awareness Programs language is considered as the most important barrier.
2. Apart from this many students find the fees on heavier side and ask for the payment of fees on installment basis.
3. Also most of the students come from rural areas and they are unaware about the online payment and other such modes.

7. Kolhapur Chapter of WIRC of ICSI
OPPORTUNITIES
1.As stated earlier the University covers almost 275 affiliated colleges and Institutes covering not less than 2 lakhs students. Hence there is a large potential for student registration.
2. It has been observed that many students complete their executive program and leave the CS course due to some reasons. There is a scope for bringing these students into the main stream by providing them some recognition from the Institute and thus can motivate them.

OPPORTUNITIES
3. The Chapter has opened Study Circle in Solapur District and also it is planning to do the same in Ratnagiri District thereby tapping majority of the students in those areas who find it difficult to avail the services of Chapter easily due to travelling issues.

9. Kolhapur Chapter of WIRC of ICSI
THREATS
1.The major threat is the unawareness about the course and the job opportunities it provides. Majority of the students appear from rural areas and are unwilling to leave their native place and ask for the job opportunities in Kolhapur and surrounding areas .E.g.: 1. In and around Kolhapur and surrounding area there are only 5 listed companies.
2. There is an opportunities for appearing in NCLT, NCLAT, OL office etc. All these are in Metro cities. Where else students coming from rural are not familiar with these appearance. Students should be trained to appear before these bodies.
3. The students complain that apart from annual filing and DSC work no other work is available and thus there is a need to increase the scope of the work to the far rural area.

10. Kolhapur Chapter of WIRC of ICSI
THREATS
4. Apart from the students the present members also complain for the intense competition and that too on the basis of cost. Hence the Institute should have a look towards it. Competition is not complained but cost cutting is complained here. (E. g. Client PQR approaches Member A for the Incorporation of Company, CS “A” quotes say 25,000/- Rs. for Incorporation. Wherein Member “ B” comes to know about this, he approaches Client PQR and suggests him Incorporation for Rs. 18,000/- say thereby taking competing on the basis of cost.)

Strategy  to increase registration –
Steps already taken:-
1. The Chapter is in touch with various colleges and Institutes for creating awareness among the students for pursuing the CS course.
2. Programmes relating to career counselling and career planning in various colleges.
3. Participation in education fair thereby tapping large students.
4. Programmes like blood donation, tree plantation thereby creating awareness about the Institute and course indirectly leading to increase.

12. Kolhapur Chapter of WIRC of ICSI
Steps to be taken:- 1. The major hurdle of students found is the scope relating to the profession. Increase in the scope for the rural areas can automatically result into increase in registration. 2. Career counselling to students who are dropping out at the mid stages of the Course so as to convince them for pursuance of the course till the end stage. 3. We propose to grant authority to chapter for collecting fees on cash basis as another hurdle is lack of debit card and bank accounts with the students and they are dependent on their friends and parents for the same. Even parents are not familiar with cashless and digital payment systems. Also it causes a roadblock in registration process.

13. Kolhapur Chapter of WIRC of ICSI
1.The major hurdle seen is the lack of scope for profession, thereby increasing the scope automatically registration can be increased.
2. Wherein walk in students approach the Chapter for inquiry about the course we convert them into Registered Students by providing the facilities like OTC conducted by the Chapter.
3. The target set for the year 2017 can be achieved by rigorous career counselling and converting walk in students into Registered students as far as possible.
