PREFACE

Teresian College was established in the year 1963 by Carmelite Sisters of St.

Teresa (CSST) with the goal of empowering women through value based education.

The College is named after St. Teresa of Avila, a mystic Saint of 16th

Century, who

was a symbol of selfless dedication and devotion to the cause of underprivileged and

deprived section of the society. Imbibing the same spirit and philosophy, Mother

Teresa of St. Rose of Lima has founded the congregation of the Carmelite Sisters of

St. Teresa in 1887, which has spearheaded the social change by establishing

educational institutions in different parts of India with a focus on women’s education.

Teresian College is one among more than 110 such premier institutions managed by

the CSST.

The institution is the first women’s college under private management in the

heritage city of Mysore. Incorporating a traditional academic setting with modern

facilities conducive for effective learning and grooming, the college strives to impart

quality education without distinction of religion, caste or class. A code of selfless

service, integrity and social development which stands embedded in the vision and

mission of the Institute is reflected in the academic and non academic activities.

Sustained efforts to enhance learning experience and improve the quality of education

well over 50 years has earned great reputation to the College thereby attracting

students from all over the country and abroad. The college was awarded ‘A’ grade at

CGPA of 3.14 in the second cycle of accreditation. It is looking forward to getting

autonomy status.

Even as the college is subjecting itself for the third cycle of assessment and

accreditation by NAAC, the steering committee has gone through a rigorous exercise

in preparing the Self Study Report. The report is the result of intensive discussions

and deliberations carried out at different levels, ensuring the participation of all the

stakeholders. We have the satisfaction that the report is comprehensive and factual

with regard to its accuracy.

I acknowledge with gratitude the whole hearted involvement of the steering

committee, all the members of the staff and the support extended by the management.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Teresian College, a Catholic Christian minority institution of higher education for

women established in 1963 is promoted by the Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa

(CSST) under the aegis of St. Teresa’s Education Society. It is affiliated to the

University of Mysore and duly recognized by UGC Act 1956 with 2 (f) and 12 (B).

The decisive journey of the institution began with a royal touch in the ‘Manoranjan

Mahal’ an architectural and historical monument, built in the year 1859 by Krishna

Raja Wodeyar III, the then Maharaja of Mysore. It was purchased by the CSST in

1963. The institution has withstood the ravages of time and increasing mediocrity

due to its emphasis on quality, progressive outlook and attempt to update and keep

abreast with changes affecting academics at the national and global level. The

multi cultural scenario of the college with aspirants from more than eight states of

India and international students from 8 nations gives the college an added edge

over other colleges. It therefore enjoys the reputation of being a premier higher

educational institution in the heritage city of Mysore.

In the first cycle of assessment and accreditation by NAAC the college was

accredited with ‘B++’ in 2003. The evaluative process of NAAC has made a

positive impact and the college has made significant growth in terms of academic

programmes and student facilities. Consequently, the college was accredited with

CGPA of 3.14 on a four point scale at ‘A’ grade in the second cycle of assessment

and accreditation in 2009.

The institution envisions a life oriented education that empowers the students

through a humanizing and liberating process, to be agents of transformation and

development at different levels of life. Drawing inspiration from this vision,

sustained efforts are made to enhance learning experience of the students and to

improve the quality of education by way of effective delivery of the curriculum,

supported by seminars, workshops, conferences, guest lectures, industrial visits and

field studies in addition to the traditional methods of teaching. Inclusion of value

education, mandatory courses in environmental studies, Indian constitution and

soft skill development initiatives are aimed to make education holistic. Extension

activities and outreach programmes are integrated into the curriculum.

Though the curriculum is framed by the university, the college takes initiatives to

enrich it through various co- curricular activities addressing cross cutting issues

and add- on courses enhancing the employability quotient. Archeo-chemistry – an

interdisciplinary certificate course introduced by the Departments of History and

Chemistry in consultation with PG department of Ancient History and

Archaeology of the University of Mysore is an example of innovative approach.

Moreover, many of the members of the faculty are members of the Board of

Studies and Board of Examiners of the University and as such are actively

involved in curriculum design and development. To enhance the language

competence for acquiring corporate readiness, literature component was replaced

with new curricula having functional, administrative and commercial language

component during curriculum revision and four faculty members each from

English, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam departments of the institution have



contributed to the curricula restructuring in their respective boards, as members of

the BOS.

The institution offers four bachelors programmes with wide range of combinations

in B.A and B.Sc. and three P.G programmes. In the B.A programme there are 12

different combinations and 11 in the B.Sc. programme. Fourteen combinations in

B.A and B.Sc., one section of B.Com, BBM course and all P.G programmes are

self-financing.17 certificate courses and a diploma in health care are available

providing opportunities for enrichment and job opportunities.

The college plans and organizes teaching, learning and evaluation schedule by

following the guidelines of the University of Mysore, Government of Karnataka

and UGC. The College has always been following the principles of access,

inclusion and diversity in its admission policy. Since the student community is

drawn from diverse backgrounds in terms of knowledge, language and social

strata, strategies are drawn up to bridge the knowledge gap. The institution makes

a concerted effort by offering bridge courses and remedial classes for the slow

learners and at the same time provides a competitive atmosphere for learning. A

student- centered learning approach is facilitated by introduction of CBCS scheme

in the PG programmes. Digital class rooms to enable technology aided teaching

and learning, PPT presentation by all students, seminars, project work, group work

are other measures adopted to make learning more participative and collaborative.

About 62 percentage of faculty members have PhD/ M.Phil and a good number of

newly recruited faculty are qualified in NET/ KSET. The college encourages and

supports its faculty in acquiring new skills and strengthening the existing

capabilities. The college follows the comprehensive and continuous system of

evaluation for the internal assessment component. Learning outcome is closely

monitored and evaluated by IQAC. A notable feature in the learning outcome is

that even though the students have a poor academic background at the entry level

the institution has been producing excellent results consistently.

As the college has given due emphasis to research, there has been significant

improvement in the research culture among the faculty and students. Presently,

around 60% of the total faculty is involved in active research. Two faculty

members have been awarded UGC Research fellowship under “THE RAMAN

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP AWARD” for carrying out research in the United

States of America for six months. Presently, 17 of the faculty are pursuing their

Doctoral Research. The faculty members have nearly 91 publications in national

and international journals to their credit in the last four years. Research funds to

the tune of 1.1 crore was granted to the institution to carry out eight minor and

five major research projects by various agencies like UGC, DIST, DBT and

VGST-K. The newly opened research laboratory with latest equipments is a boon

for researchers. These developments have given the institution confidence to

upgrade the laboratory to a research centre.

Seven national conference/ seminars/ worships have been held during the reporting

period. Fifty eminent academicians/ researchers/ scientists have visited the college

as resource persons.



The institution encourages the faculty to use their expertise for consultancy

services. Consultancy is provided to academic institutions, Government agencies

and NGOs. Some important services provided by the college:

Academic field: Faculty members are BOS members and paper setters.

Examiners, resource persons and trainers for academic programmes held

by other institutions, autonomous colleges and educational bodies. Some

are also involved in the preparation of study material for KSOU and in

paper setting for CET Cell, Government of Karnataka.

Sports: Coaching in tennis, cricket and weight lifting.

Eco friendly technology: Mushroom cultivation, vermicompost and

organic farming.

Though NSS and Rotract club are in the forefront, various departments and

student associations/clubs are enthusiastic in organizing outreach programmes

which encompass community development, health and sanitation, adult education

and literacy, AIDS awareness, dental/ medical/blood donation camps,

environment protection, compassion and care for the elderly and prisoners, civil

rights, women and child rights and the like.

Extension activities have helped the students to think beyond themselves and to

reach out to the poor and needy. Such activities have inculcated in them values

such as caring and sharing, civic sense, leadership, self confidence, discipline,

social sensitivity and also communication skills, life skills, team spirit and time

management.

Collaboration with other institutes has benefited the institution substantially in

terms of sharing of knowledge, institutional facilities and in availing of the service

of resource persons. Collaborations with industries have promoted opportunities

for job placement, internship, training and has facilitated the students to carry out

their projects. Linkages with academic institutions have helped faculty

improvement and research. Rotaract club of the college has received three awards

for their extension activities.

The management is very proactive in enhancing and maintaining infrastructure

facilities for effective teaching and learning. Keeping pace with the fast changing,

challenging, technological world, the college has introduced information

technology in a big way in all the functionings of the college by providing ICT

enabled class rooms for teaching learning, e-campus solutions for administration,

internet access through Wi-Fi, digital and online services for the library and virtual

laboratory facilities. The three hostels, which accommodate 400 students are most

sought for their safe, secure and comfortable stay, above all they provide a

conducive learning atmosphere inside the campus. Due to the growing demand for

accommodation, a new hostel is under construction which can accommodate 100

students. A state - of- art auditorium with a seating capacity of 1500 hosts a wide

range of academic and extracurricular programmes. An indoor stadium is under

construction.

A student centered approach to education is the hallmark of the college.

Economically weaker sections, being the priority area of concern, the institution is



committed to their empowerment by extending free ships and scholarships to a

large number of students. The college is known for providing many a opportunity

for students to develop their talents through extracurricular and co-curricular

activities. The push given for women’s sports right from its inception by providing

state of art facilities and support has enabled the college to produce sports stars of

national and international fame. Based on their performance, a significant number

of students have been recruited by government and non government organization.

The college has dominated in the sports arena for the past fifty years by emerging

overall champions 38 times in inter collegiate women’s athletic competitions and

32 times in inter collegiate women’s games competitions conducted by the

University of Mysore. The college has also won the cross country championship

for the past ten years in succession. Two students have received ‘EKALAVYA

AWARD’ during the reporting period. The cricket academy of the college attracts

teams and clubs from other cities and even from Srilanka for friendly matches and

training.

Teresian College, Mysore is managed by St. Teresa’s Education Society, founded

by the Carmelite Sisters of St.Teresa (CSST) which is a religious congregation

dedicated primarily to education. It runs five degree cum post graduate colleges

and over 110 high schools cum plus 2 institutions spread over 14 states. The sister

institutions namely Mount Carmel College, Bangalore and St.Teresa’s college

Ernakulam are autonomous with ‘potential for excellence’.

The administration of the college is vested with the Governing council which has

the Provincial superior as its Head and the local Manager and other senior sisters

as members. The governing council is also represented by a University nominee,

eminent citizens, staff and other academicians, industrialists and a student’s

representative. The governing body of the Society ratifies the resolutions of the

Governing council and takes major financial decisions. The administration follows

a participatory approach by delegating the work to various cells, committees and

associations.

The college has taken several initiatives to make the campus eco friendly. Based

on the findings of green auditing the college has replaced conventional lighting

with LED bulbs, installed solar lights and carefully nurtures the green cover on the

campus. Among the many best practices which has contributed to the achievement

of institutional objectives, two of the most noteworthy are: access to quality

education to all especially to the poor and the marginalized; and community

college for the school dropouts and plus II passed students who have no aptitude

for formal education.

Evaluation process of internal assessment and university examination

is explained during the induction programme at the commencement of

the academic year.

The faculty and students are advised to visit University website

regularly to know about the changes, if any, in the evaluation process.

Prior to the commencement of the Internal Assessment tests, the

students are made aware of the blue print of the allocation of marks in

the class.

The teachers enlighten the students on the pattern of the question paper

and the scheme of evaluation. Model question papers and previous

years question papers are made available in the library and in the

concerned departments.

Parents are given information about continuous internal assessment

through personal contacts and PTA.

Senior faculty members who are involved in BOE and evaluation guide

the junior faculty.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the

institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the

institution on its own.

The CBCS and continuous assessment grading pattern of evaluation

(for PG programme) is the major evaluation reform of the university

that the college has adopted. Under this pattern the departments conduct

C1 and C2 tests. There is a continuous cumulative evaluation process

wherein weightage is given for independent learning, communicative

skills, depth of knowledge etc. This method of continuous evaluation

pattern has reduced the weightage on the semester-end examination so

that students enjoy a de-stressed learning environment. However, the

semester end evaluation is conducted by the university.



The continuous internal assessment with innovative methods of

evaluation of presentations skills, field trip reports, skill development

records, practical records, written projects and the like has been

introduced for UG programmes. In addition to IA tests, IA marks are

awarded for various assigned learning skills.

At the college level additional opportunity is provided for slow learners

to improve their performance in IA tests.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the

evaluation reforms of the University and those initiated by the

institution on its own?

Principal, HODs and the administrative staff attend the workshops

organised by the University whenever major evaluation reforms are

introduced so that the institution is able to effectively implement them.

At the college level orientation is given to all faculty members and the

students are given model tests to familiarise with the evaluation

reforms.

The Examination Committee through the concerned HOD ensures that

the effective implementation of the evaluation process is carried out.

All these activities are effectively monitored by the IQAC.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment

approaches adapted to measure student achievement. Cite a few

examples which have positively impacted the system.

The students are assessed stream wise/ subject wise in terms of their

performance in curricular, co- curricular and extracurricular activities.

To measure student achievement, marks are awarded in tests and

examinations. cash prizes and certificate of honour are distributed to

students who are assessed for leadership qualities, conduct and positive

involvement in various activities.

The formative assessment measures followed by the college for UG

programmes are: a) Assignments and two internal tests conducted every

semester. b) Class tests held periodically by concerned subject teacher c)

Informal assessments conducted during class hours to check the

understanding of the students and to clarify doubts.

Summative assessment is done by conducting model examinations,

covering entire syllabus before the commencement of university

examination for UG programmes. The examination for practical work/

field work/project work is conducted at the end of the semesters by

internal and external examiners. In some subjects oral examination is

mandatory.

The Post graduate courses have the Choice Based Credit Based System.

There are two Formative assessment (C1 and C2) for theory papers and

one Summative assessment (University examination) conducted per

semester. The outline for continuous assessment activities for Component-I

(C1) and Component-II (C2) of theory papers is proposed by the teacher(s)

concerned before the commencement of the semester and is discussed and



decided in the respective Departmental Council. The students are informed

about the modalities well in advance.

Successful completion of the course is based on Cumulative Grade Point

Averages.

Major/Minor project evaluation: Right from the initial stage of defining

the problem, a candidate has to submit the progress reports periodically

and also present his/ her progress in the form of seminars in addition to

the regular discussion with the guide. Components of evaluation are as

follows:

Component –I (C1) Periodic progress and progress report-25%

Component –II (C2) Results of work and draft report-25%

Component –III (C3) Final Viva-voce and evaluation-50%

Positive impact: In the semester system, the students get less time to revise

and internalize the concepts. However it is reported by the students that

continuous evaluation approach through Unit tests and IA tests have helped

to study thoroughly the concepts and perform well in the semester end

examination.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and

weightage assigned for the overall development of students (Weightage

for behavioural aspects, independent learning, communication skills

etc).All finalized entries carry the signature of participating students

A marks register for Internal Assessment of every subject is maintained

by the HOD’s.

The manuscripts of answer books, assignments and project reports are

valued and made available for the students thereby ensuring

transparency.

After viewing the marks and attesting the signatures the marks list is

sent to the office to be forwarded to the University examination section.

The internal assessment marks are submitted online from the affiliated

colleges.

Originality or any creative contribution is encouraged and awarded a

higher weightage.

The college follows continuous assessment of the students as per the

guidelines of the University wherein field survey/project report/

assignments/power point presentations / viva, Industrial visits carry IA

marks. The faculty members insist on virtues like punctuality,

responsibility and sincerity while submitting assigned academic work.

This system helps in the overall development of the students. The criteria

for award of IA marks vary programme-wise/stream-wise/subject-wise. To

cite an example, the split up of IA marks for commerce stream is as

follows.

GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on how

the mission statement defines the institution‘s distinctive

characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the

students it seeks to serve, institution‘s traditions and value

orientations, vision for the future, etc.?

Vision statement

Teresian College Mysore envisions a life-oriented education that empowers

the students through a humanizing and liberating process, to be agents of

transformation and development at different levels of life. Enabled and

empowered, they respond proactively to the concerns and conflicts inherent

in today’s society, especially those of women and persons who are unable

to exercise their freedom to be human, and work for the integrity of

creation. The thrust is in the light of a ‘Civilization of Love’ - the Kingdom

of God, as envisaged and promoted by the Foundress, Mother Teresa of St.

Rose of Lima.

Mission

To promote value-based education.

To contribute to the transformation of society.

To synergize the women and the less privileged regarding their basic

human rights.

To promote inter-cultural and inter-religious harmony and concern for

the human family and to work towards the integrity of creation.

To facilitate leadership among the students, enabling them to

proactively involve in social liberation.

To provide quality, integral, vocational and career oriented education

and create a climate for human and education excellence.

Teresian College was established in 1963 by Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa

(CSST) with a single minded goal of women’s empowerment through value

based education. The institution is the first women’s college under private

management in the heritage city of Mysore.

The College is named after St. Teresa of Avila, a mystic Saint of 16th

Century, who symbolizes selfless dedication and devotion to the cause of

underprivileged and deprived sections of the society. Imbibing the same

spirit and philosophy, Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima founded the

Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa in 1887, which has spearheaded the social

change by establishing educational Institutions in different parts of India

focusing on women’s education. Teresian College is one among more than

110 such premier Institutions managed by CSST.



Teresian College is a minority Christian Institution. However, it strives to

impart quality education without distinction of religion, caste or class. A

code of selfless service, integrity and social development which stands

embedded in the vision and mission of the institute is reflected in the

academic and non academic activities. The institution has withstood the

ravages of time and increasing mediocrity due its emphasis on value based

education, quality, progressive outlook and attempt to update and keep

abreast with changes affecting academics at the national and global level.

The multi cultural scenario of the college with aspirants from more than

eight states of India and international students from 8 nations gives the

college an added edge over other colleges in the city of Mysore.

The college emblem consists of the Apostolic Crest which is constituted by

a mountain, three stars, cross and five –flowered crown. The scrolls contain

the motto of the college “Virtue is the sole and only nobility”.

In keeping with the vision of the Foundress the college management

envisages to transform the college into a world class higher education

institution by inculcating sound values among students and aiming at

excellence in all fields in order to prepare competent, confident and highly

skilled women for a globalized world.

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design

and implementation of its quality policy and plans?

Quality policy and plans are implemented in three stages.

In the first stage, IQAC makes a plan of action based on the suggestions

and feedback from the stakeholders i.e., students, staff and parents.

In the second stage, the college Governing Council gives its suggestions

and also reviews the plan of action made by IQAC.

In the final stage, the Principal (secretary) puts forth the suggestions of

the Governing Council and the IQAC to the Governing body, which is

the apex body of the management. Major policies regarding

administration and infrastructure expansion are taken up by the

governing body.

The management and control of St. Teresa’s Education Society and its

affairs are vested with the Governing Body whose role is exercised

through appointments and recruitments for various positions in the

college as per the rules laid down. The Governing Body consists of

educational administrators from various parts of the State and the

Country who deliberate on quality policy and discuss proposals brought

for final implementation. Its role is to enhance and enrich the quality of

service and plan for academic expansion and the final decision with

respect to infrastructural facilities.

6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring?

mission



Formulation of action plans for all operations and incorporation of

the same into the institutional strategic plan

Interaction with stakeholders

Proper support for policy and planning through need analysis,

research inputs and consultations with the stakeholders

Reinforcing the culture of excellence

Champion organizational change

The policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the stated

mission are conceived and decided by the College Management through

protracted discussions with Heads of Departments and if necessary with

the entire staff of the College. The top leadership ensures that all

stakeholders including the junior most employees and students are

sensitized about the steps initiated to fulfill the stated mission for

incorporating action plans into actual models for implementation. Each

department is given the freedom to implement the action plans. While

members, the Principal ensures that the standard of the institution with

respect to integral growth is not compromised.

Keeping in mind the motto of the college namely the empowerment of

women through integral and value based education leading to academic

excellence the management is always open to suggestions to improve

its organizational competence. Therefore it interacts with every

department of the college and the Post Graduation department of the

university and experts to keep abreast with the fast changing, highly

competitive and challenging field of education. Accordingly, the

Principal in consultation with the governing body restructures the

organizational systems in both the academic and non-teaching areas.

Principal seeks the feedback from students, staff, parents and other

stakeholders.

6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and

evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective

implementation and improvement from time to time?

Annual meetings of the College management prior to the opening of the

college and staff meetings conducted during each semester ensure that

the institution revisits the policies and plans initiated and also examines

the status.

Generally, the appropriate changes required are monitored by the

Governing Council, IQAC, Principal and Heads of department

regarding academic issues. The working of the different departments

affected by new policies and plans are reviewed by the Principal along

with the Administrator. The plans are effectively implemented.

The affiliation committee also gives recommendations and suggestions

for improvement after their review. The college complies with their

suggestions and recommendations.

stakeholders play a vital role in monitoring and evaluating the policies.

design, plan and conduct seminars, conferences, workshops, colloquia

and exhibitions for a purposeful deployment and transaction of the

prescribed curriculum. In addition each department has a subject related

association which organizes programs to enrich the curriculum.

The responsibility for the smooth running of each department rests with

the Head of department, who is its senior most faculty member. With

respect to the Post Graduate departments the responsibility lies with the

Coordinator. Majority of the Heads of the department are members of

BOS and BOE of the University and other autonomous colleges and as

such are involved in academic innovation.

The Coordinator of IQAC takes the leadership to co-ordinate the

curricular and co-curricular activities of the college.

6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

The college promotes leadership by involving the staff and students in

decision making and execution of the programmes of the college by

including them as members in Governing Council, IQAC and various

committees of the college.

Leadership is nurtured in students through their roles as student council

member, class prefect and secretaries of various Associations.

The college firmly believes in promoting leadership skills through its

various sports and games teams. As a result, the college has been able

to usher in discipline through effective leadership both in the

playground and off the playground. Students join NCC or participate in

NSS programmes and thereby ample opportunities are provided for

scouting talent and promoting leadership.

The members of the staff are encouraged to take leadership roles in

conducting activities like study tours, excursions, Industrial visits and

organizing special lectures, seminars/workshops/conferences at the

students.

Goal



The goal of the community college is the empowerment and liberation of

all human beings especially the poor and marginalized. It is an education

with a difference. By offering relevant, skill based courses along with

value-based education it makes them fit for a job, for industry and for

society. The aim of the community college is to make the students who

enter its portals to evolve, emerge and be empowered.

Context

The institution is surrounded by Halanhalli, Yeraganahalli, Nadanahalli and

Kurubarahalli villages. A survey conducted in the above mentioned villages

revealed that most of the women folk in these villages are illiterate and the

girls are 4th

, 7th and 10

th standard dropouts. These girls either opt to work as

domestics or are forced to assist the family in field work. This practice is

being perpetuated for generations. Students who have completed their 10th

and 12th

std, due to the conservative mentality of the villagers and financial

constraints are unable to pursue their higher studies. Keeping this reality in

mind, the institution has gone all out to offer a ray of hope to the illiterate

and marginalized and in order to be inclusive has also extended its services

to boys.

The Practice:

1. Skill based training/ vocational courses are the need of the hour in the

context of higher education. In order to keep abreast with the fast changing,

Commission for PUC passed students. This offers a ray of hope

for both boys and girls who are drop outs in 10th

and 12th

std

examination and for PUC passed students.

2. The course is of one year duration. During this period they learn spoken

English develop immense confidence to communicate in the English

language and are able to give their testimony in glowing terms at the end of

the course. Along with spoken English classes they are given life coping

skills and are empowered to develop their self esteem and self awareness.

The skill training takes place simultaneously. During the last term of their
