Welcome To The S.M.P.S. Degree College
The college is affiliated to Dr. B. R. A. University Agra and is one of the well-known and eminent colleges of the University. The college was established in 2016.
Higher education is mainly carried out with a purpose of research, consultancy and extension. The institution tries to develop a culture of excellence and social responsibility in all these areas. College administration, faculty and students work together to achieve this aim. The faculty of the institution equip students with research skills. They also provide advisory services to various sections of the society. Due to lack of a clear revenue raising/ sharing policy of the government, paid consultancy projects are not taken up. Besides this, the college aims at overall personality development of the student by providing them with value based education, but at some points, the the college finds its hands tied as it is a non autonomous affiliated college of B. R. A. University, Agra.
