Student Council was initiated way back in 1900 as a literary society. Now it is represented by top- ranking students from each class who play an active role in organizing a number of student – centric activities like intra-class competitions, workshops, celebration of college day and Teacher’s day, orientation programs, etc. It is guided by the norms set by the University.

The Principal, a staff advisor, Dean of students, Dean of Women students, NSS Program officer, Toppers, Cultural Centre student representative, Gymkhana student representative, NSS student representative, 2 women student representatives form an integral part of the Council.  It also takes a number of initiatives all round the year in coalition with Cultural Centre and Women’s Development Cell.

      

Wilson College has a rich tradition of encouraging and nurturing talents. The Cultural  Centre provides Junior as well as Degree college students an opportunity to participate in an array of cultural activities, competitions and workshops held by the centre all round the year.

The winners in these competitions are then nominated for participation in other intercollegiate competitions. The Cultural centre in collaboration with Student’s Council also organizes Annual College Day.

                                                            
  

The NSS is guided under the norms of the University. The volunteers enrolled work as a team on projects of social relevance for two consecutive years. The wing in association with a number of NGOs work for the welfare of mentally challenged and the under-priviledged children. Teaching in municipal schools, participating in awareness rallies organized by the University are some of the many activities conducted by NSS.

The NSS plays a pivotal role in conducting Blood donation drives in the college twice every year. This has been highly acknowledged by the Blood Bank. Students are also sent for Leadership Training Programs.  An NSS camp is conducted for a period of 10days every year where students are involved in projects of social relevance.

                                                                                 

Unique to Wilson College, this program aims to expose graduating especially BA and Bsc students to the corporate world making them aware of what is expected of them in their corporate service.

It is planned in consultation with experts from renowned industrial background and heads of departments in the college.

It is broadly divided into 3 phases:

1. Talks given by experts from various career backgrounds.
2. Workshops on personality and leadership development
3. Internship

The Objective of the Women’s Development Cell is to create awareness and inculcate a sense of Values in the younger generation so that they may differentiate the right from the wrong.

Each year, programmes are conducted by the cell to emphasis on the rights of the women and how girls should look after themselves right from their young age, as they are the ones who will give a healthy generation in future.

Currently, it is a record of all the activities of all the academic departments and offers a campus review of the various co-curricular activities and programmes of the college.

The Graduating Service held at the end of the academic year for the final year students is a unique event. Prayers and good wishes are offered to them in the Chapel. The service is often referred as ‘the occasion to recharge one’s batteries’ where many Wilsonians draw inner strength to get ready to face the challenges that life will bring along its way. Teachers and students then gather in the College hall to share their feelings and experiences with the Institution.
