Establishment and uses of quality benchmarks in academic activities.

Dissemination of information on latest guidelines of NAAC/UGC/UPHEC etc.

The IQAC has promoted the culture of organizing seminar, symposia, workshops and FDPs.

Page 65/82 13-02-2018 12:38:55


Response:

Review of teaching learning process

Initially before conducting NAAC Cycle first in 2006 we were using basic pedagogical tools for teaching-learning processes that included the lectures, chalk and duster methods etc. However, with theadvancement in technology and teaching-learning aids we are striving forward towards imparting ICTbased education. The faculty members at the college are now using Power Point presentations, variousmodels, animations and videos in theory as well as practical classes. Still, in view of our intake ofstudents, we have not been able to make all of our classrooms ICT enabled. Sincere attempts are on tomobilize resources to increase the use of modern technology to cover a greater number of students.

Methodologies of operation

At the initial level various curricular aspects are discussed at the Department level, after which they arediscussed in the IQAC. And all relevant suggestions are given to the Department concerned.

Learning outcomes at IQAC

The IQAC ensures filling up of the student appraisal at regular intervals by announcing prior dates (eitherby student’s name or anonymously) in order to evaluate the various courses taught in the College. TheIQAC internally monitors all such appraisals and the subsequent actions are taken by the Principal. Allthese exercises have proved to be useful in establishing a sound methodology of functioning and inenhancing quality education.

This has not enabled the college administration in maintaining our teaching-learning standards but has alsoearned a good name for the institution.

1) Main campus: a) Solid waste: This is primarily due to plants and tree foilage, which is geathered anddumped in designated pits for decomposing and reutilized as mannure. Other types of waste is collected inbins kept at various points near higher footfall areas and regularly dumped in to muncipal bins outsidecampus. b) Liquid waste: There is little need of liquid waste management except for toilets and urinals,which is dealt with attached waste pits in most cases. c) e-waste: There is hardly any e-waste generation atthe institution hence rare need of its management. However, any electronic equipment not usable or dead isproperly disposed via auction to scrap dealers.

2) Residential a) Solid waste: Via munciple corporation waste management system. b) Liquid waste: inmost case there are soak pits otherwise munciple sewear system.

7.2 Best Practices 7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)

Response:

Two Institutional Best Practices:

I> Title: Transparent Admission Policy

a. Objective: The Meerut College, Meerut admits all its regular & self-finance students based ontransparent merit lists prepared by the CCS University. The objective behind this exercise is to admitstudents based on merit of Intermediate Classes as also on their college choices as far as possible. Thus allUG and PG applications are invited by CCS university online, along with the submission of transcripts,and other required papers based on reservation category, etc. Finally, University releases a number of Meritlists against the seats sanctioned in various courses. All the rules regarding reservation are followed inpreparing the merit.

b. The Context

In College Context, this exercise enables the Admission Committee readymade merit lists that are alsodisplayed on the College website as well as on admission notice boards. Various Sub-AdmissionCommittees are constituted comprising of faculty members and non-teaching staff etc. that after checkingoriginal marksheets and certificates validate the admission.

c.The Practice

Page 76/82 13-02-2018 12:38:57


The admissions in Meerut College, Meerut are done based on transparent merit Lists displayed at theCollege Website. All sub-admission committees are present at the admission venue and the merit lists arealso displayed there. The students procure their application forms and the College Prospectus from themain office. They are required to submit this application form along with self-attested copies of allcertificate. Once their name is displayed on a merit list, they become eligible to be considered foradmission till the seats are vacant in a particular category.

The income certificate, reservation certificate and domicile etc. also need to be verified online by takingout an e print of their online verification. All Physically handicapped students require a medical certificatefrom CMO. The 10+2 marksheets of students are also checked online for cross examination from approvedSr. Secondary Boards of the Country. The Prospectus as well as University website publishes name of fakeboards whose students are not considered for admission at the College.

All students are required to submit a DD of the fees to be paid at the time of admission. The fee structurefor boys and girls are separate; and girls get some discount in tuition fees as per govt guidelines. Theamount to be paid is nominal for all UG & PG students. It is mentioned in the prospectus. Keeping in viewthe digital initiative by MHRD; the College is planning to start collecting all fees by online transactionssoon.

As a requirement of admission into any HEI; the college ensures filling of an affidavit duly signed by thestudent and their parents ensuring that their ward will not take part in any form of ragging as per theguidelines of Hon’ble Supreme Court. They are also asked to comply with the Student Code of Conductavailable in the Prospectus and also on college website.

The girl students’ venue for admission is different where all female faculty members look after theiradmission procedure. This allows them to take admission in a friendly environment.

All the admitted students get a College ID that is unique to them and their course in which they areadmitted. They also get their I Card duly signed by the admission authorities for which they need to bepersonally present at the time of admission. The same is then signed by the Proctors after checking thefees/dues to be paid.

d. Evidence of Success

The success of the above procedure can be imbibed from the fact that about eight thousand admissions aredone each year by observing this. This procedure has resulted in minimum errors. The merit lists thusreleased are available in public domain, on college website as also on CCS University website. This resultsin students calculating their admission formula; based on reservation rules etc., and calculating theirposition in the merit.

The admissions in the PG departments are supervised by the HODs and the admissions are done followingthe same procedure against the number of seats available in different categories.

This procedure has reduced the time of admission and has introduced a transparency into the functioning ofthe University and the College.

e. Problems Encountered and Resources required

Page 77/82 13-02-2018 12:38:57


In certain cases, where either the data input was inadvertently wrong or in cases of malafied intentions theoriginal merit gets altered. These cases are only caught when they come to take admission by bringing theirmarksheets. All such marksheets are checked online from respective Sr Secondary Board websites anddecisions taken.

At times certain combination of subjects that are not allowed to be admitted come to notice. All suchstudents are referred to College Prospectus to rectify mistakes.

Certain students don’t follow the fee guidelines and bring DDs in categories meant for girls/ boys & vice-versa.

Admissions are usually not granted in absentia unless some medical condition hinders a student frompersonal appearance. Some students also wish to be considered without personally being present; butusually they are not considered. In order to admit a large number of students; entire faculty and non-teaching staff need to exert quite long.

II> Decentralized Administrative Set-Up.

a. Objective:

A decentralized administrative set-up and representation of all faculty members in several administrativeand academic committees such as: IQAC, Proctorial Board, UGC Committee, Research AdvisoryCommittee, Women Cell, Anti-Ragging Committee, Grievance Cell, Career Counselling Committee,Hostel Committee, Sports Council, Library Committee, Medical Committee, Cultural Society andMagazine Committee etc. has enabled Meerut College, Meerut to function as a unique institution of highereducation. The objective behind this kind of functioning is to incorporate independent decision making indifferent teams in the interest of the College. It has inculcated a culture of responsibility and sense of duty.

b. The Context

In order to undertake various activities of the College, it becomes inevitable to organize all such activitieswithout decentralization of power. Our college has a long standing tradition of appointing variouscommittees incorporating various faculty members to execute various academic and administrative tasks.

c. The Practice

Various academic committees: i.e. IQAC, UGC Committee, Research Advisory Committee, CareerCounselling Committee, Library Committee, Magazine Committee etc. take their respectiveresponsibilities. The IQAC especially takes care of Teaching-learning practices and ensures qualityeducation being imparted to our students as per our academic standards.

All faculty members are appointed in respective academic and administrative committees and their In-charges are given freedom to act as per the dates given the academic calendar.

Some administrative committees that are very helpful in maintaining discipline in the Campus include:Proctorial Board, Women Cell, Anti-Ragging Committee, Grievance Cell, Hostel Committee, etc.

Page 78/82 13-02-2018 12:38:57


A Proctorial Board comprising of a Chief-Proctor and about sixteen Proctors ensure the law and order inthe Campus. This discipline maintaining committee ensures the enforcement of discipline in the campus.They are duly authorized to check I-Cards of all bonafide students. All outsiders and others entering thecampus for loitering or vandalism are dealt strictly. Their teams also act as an Internal flying squad duringexams that checks all attempts of using unfair means. Their keen interest in this work had made MeerutCollege, Meerut free of Cheating in exams. Still others who come to their notice are dealt as per Examrules of CCS University and are booked under UFM.

UGC committee ensures applying to UGC for grants, proper utilisation of funds thus received andsubmission of timely utilization of grants. The College receives BSR, CPE and other grants

by UGC.

Detailed functions of Women Cell and their achievements are described elsewhere. But they not only planyear round activities for them but also execute them.

Anti-Ragging monitors the campus to make it a safe and Ragging free campus.

Grievance Cell is open to complaints made by students, if any. And it also ensures timely redressal of allcomplaints thus received.

Research Advisory Committee encourages all faculty members to submit major and minor projects tovarious funding agencies and guides research scholars for NET, RET and PDFs for various nodal agenciesand fellowships.

Still other Committees that help us attain our Sports achievements, Creative pursuits include: SportsCouncil and Cultural Council.

All student fellowship related activities are governed by Dean Student Welfare (DSW) office headed by aDean and Asst. Deans. They represent various faculties and help the students in filling their scholarshipforms. These scholarship forms are then uploaded at the Samaj Kalyan Vibhag website. All thescholarships are directly transferred into the respective bank accounts of the students directly.

d. Evidence of Success

The decentralization of power in terms of various academic and administrative committees has proved tobe very successful for smooth functioning of the college. All they need to do is to fit in their activities asper academic sessional calendar. IQAC especially ensures quality Teaching-learning and timely filling ofstudent appraisals. IQAC also ensures collection of data pertaining to various parameters and timelysubmission of AQAR. IQAC also ensures fulfilling the academic and infrastructure requirements. Theannual report of various committees and academic report of departmental committees are also published inCollege magazine: “Abhivyakti”. The magazine also publishes activities and achievements of Sportscouncil, Cultural Committee and Career counselling committee. Their individual inputs have kept thesebodies lively and the cohesive teams keep working to achieve annual targets. A separate sports council is amust in a College like ours where we conduct Inter-Collegiate tournaments by inviting several colleges.Under its guidance the college sports scenario has changed over the years.

It has enabled the college to do all its co-curricular activities on time involving all faculty members. The

Page 79/82 13-02-2018 12:38:57


representation of students in various committees have made them transparent and a larger number ofstudent participation is ensured through student representative.

e. Problems Encountered and Resources required

All faculty members have to devote extra hours besides completing their syllabi. All working committeesfind out their means and ways of functioning after getting directions from the Principal. Usually themeetings are either convened by the Principal or their Coordinators to execute the planned activity. Thecollege decides the resources to be made available to various committees to keep them functional. But forconducting all co-curricular activities it is a must to incorporate students. In order to do activities, it is amust to ensure the participation of all students and non-teaching staff. At times it is a challenge toincorporate students besides academics.

Coordination amongst various committees with regard to dates of activities, ensuring student participation,and the funds and resources thus required are amongst some challenges that the administration tackles.Fortunately, the role of management is very positive; in view of funds and paraphernalia required byvarious committees.
