14. Qualitative improvements due to DBT support

Please highlight (5 salient lines)

The DBT support has enhanced the admission of students. This was accompanied

with an increased demand ratio, and cut off mark for admission.

The DBT-STAR College Scheme reduced the drop out rate, boosted the pass

percentage and improved the percentage of marks obtained by the students.

The DBT support augmented infrastructure development in the Department thereby

enhancing the quality of the learning and teaching process to stimulate original

thinking through ‘hands–on’ exposure to experimental work and group projects.

Intensification of interdisciplinary approach among the science Departments and also

with nearby institutions for research projects, expert lectures, workshops, visits,

Training programmes and internship training increased.

Devising of standard curricula and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)/kits, e
