New generation programmes also coexist to keep pace with the contemporary

requirements. The syllabus is thoroughly updated based on the recent trends in the

industry.

infrastructure facilities of the college are open to the public as well. The campus is

WEAKNESSES

college has not been able to tap the alumni for financial

resource moblilisation.

Maintenance of Infrastructure - The College finds it difficult to maintain its

infrastructure including the heritage buildings in the campus.

Consultancy – Though a few departments offer consultancy, the college could not

utilise its knowledge potential for undertaking

consultancy especially in the form of paid service.

OPPORTUNITIES

New Programmes - Starting new programmes of contemporary relevance especially

in Management, Technology and Visual Media.

Community College and B.Voc Programmes – In order to offer job oriented

vocational programmes, it is essential to start a Community College and B.Voc

Programmes to provide opportunities for students who look forward for such

programmes.

curriculum enrichment programmes may be designed and conducted.

can be enhanced. The faculty members can take up more projects. More PhDs can be

produced in the departments. Thus a research culture can be developed in the campus.

Department Level Collaborations - As most of the departments are research centres,

collaborations can be made at department level.

Infrastructure - The infrastructure in the campus can be improved to support the

academic programmes and the student requirements.

Tie – Ups - Establishing tie up with academic institutions and industries for research,

extension, student and faculty exchange, on the job training and for student

Alumni Support - The support of the alumni can be sought for infrastructure

development and the establishment of tie ups and collaborations.

Best Practices - Many of the practices followed in the campus can be streamlined and

modified to become models for other institutions.

CHALLENGES

Brand building in competitive environment keeping pace with the global market

trends.

Inadequate technical infrastructure to organise placement drives.

Increased cost of operation and maintenance of infrastructure.

Annexure III

I. STUDENT CENTRIC APPROACH IN LEARNING AND EVALUATION

(SCALE)

1. Title of the Practice

Student Centric Approach in Learning and Evaluation (SCALE)

2. Goal for the Practice

The objective of this practice is to make the evaluation system of End Semester

Examinations more student friendly. The specific objectives are;

a. To attain excellence in the quality of evaluation.

b. To ensure transparency in the evaluation process.

c. To build confidence among the students regarding the examination system.

3. The Context

The college is functioning as an autonomous institution. Autonomy provides opportunity

to the college for designing its own system of evaluation. It is quite natural that a single

level of evaluation is questionable due to the possibility of clerical errors and bias.

Moreover it was felt necessary in a society which is subject to high level of social audit, to

impart extra confidence in the mind of the stakeholders that the evaluation system is

student friendly.

4. The Practice

Four- tier evaluation system is followed in the End Semester Assessment. It includes;

Tier – 1 :Domestic Valuation

a. Domestic valuation shall be done by the teachers of the college, preferably by the

concerned course teacher.

b. There shall be separate registers for domestic valuation and external valuation.

c. Domestic valuation shall be conducted in centralised valuation camp / Bundling

camp.

d. The valuation should be completed within five days of the last examination.


Tier –2 : External Valuation

a. All the answer scripts which were valued by the domestic examiners will be valued in

a second time by an external expert who has relevant experience in the teaching and

evaluation of the course.

b. The marks obtained in the first valuation will be camouflaged in this stage.

c. The external valuation shall be done by selected teachers from other colleges. For this

purpose a database of external examiners shall be maintained with a minimum of five

teachers for each course. Teachers with a minimum three year experience shall be

included in the database.

d. For external valuation, “Home Valuation” method / CV Camp method shall be

adopted.

Tier –3 :Third Valuation

a. If there is significant variation (more than 20%) between the marks obtained in

domestic valuation and external valuation, all such answer scripts will be subject to

revaluation by an external expert having more than five years of service.

b. The marks obtained in the first valuation and the second valuation will be

camouflaged in this stage.

Tier –4 :Expert Valuation

a. Expert valuation implies revaluation by carrying out one more valuation of the answer

script.

b. Revaluation is done by an expert having more than 10 years of experience in the

course concerned.

c. After publication of the results the students can apply for revaluation by remitting the

specified fees within five working days.

d. The marks obtained on revaluation or the earlier mark awarded whichever is higher

shall be the final mark.

e. If the marks obtained on revaluation are more than 10% of the maximum marks, the

revaluation fee collected shall be returned to the candidate.


5. Evidence of Success

Zero level grievance is registered regarding the valuation of answer scripts.

6. Problems encountered

The following problems are encountered in the implementation of SCALE.

a. Completion of valuation in four stages and declaration of results within the prescribed

time is a challenge.

b. The services of external experts are availed in the last three stages. Hence,

implementation is costly.

7. Resources Required

The total cost associated with the implementation of SCALE is not collected from the

students. About 50% of the fund required for this project is given by the management.

8. Note

For the successful implementation of the program, certain points are to be considered:

a. The implementing office should be vigilant and systematic.

b. The panel of external experts should be constantly updated.

Annexure IV

I. MENTORING FOR HOLISTIC GROWTH

1. Title of the Practice

Mentoring for Holistic Growth

2. Goal for the Practice

With an unwavering belief that education is a comprehensive experience, CMS

College ensures that the students are equipped both academically and socially. The

programme was introduced and undertaken with the noble motive of creating positive

citizens of tomorrow. The practice aims to:

a. Furnish students with positive thinking-psychological changes.

b. Develop selfhood by understanding the world around them-personality changes.

c. Raise a sense of awareness by exploring and discussing contemporary issues-

cognitive level changes.

d. Learn to look at the society from different vantage points-attitudinal changes

e. Bring about new modes of action- action level changes.

3. The Context

Students and teenagers are subjected to immense pressure owing to the ever-

changing value systems in familial and societal factions surrounding them which has

resulted in numerous psycho-social issues. In addition, a wide-ranging disparity among

students in terms of financial and social status obstructs their holistic development. The

conventional classroom setting dissuades the students from opening up their minds. The

significance of mutuality and interdependence with fellow beings is not imbibed by the

students as part of the present curriculum.

Thus, there is discord in the congenial academic domain as students who face such

challenges are often found to exhibit disinterest to listening and completing their academic

responsibilities. Students were unable to mingle with fellow students from varying socio-

economic backgrounds brought about poor group dynamics in classroom settings which

has ultimately affected the extra-curricular prospects. Increasing absenteeism and

expression of a rebellious and hostile character towards disciplining were also the related

challenges. It was in this context that ‘mentoring for holistic growth’ was introduced.

4. The Practice

A group of students from a department, ranging from ten to fifteen in number

are put together under the guidance of a teacher who acts as the mentor. The group is

composed of students from UG first year to PG final year in the department. The mentor


gets to know each student personally and extend them support based on their needs. The

increased rapport with the students encourages them to share their issues with the mentor.

The needs and problems of the students, be it curricular, extra-curricular, personal,

psychological or social are identified and dealt with. The students who require specific

psycho-social support are referred to the consultant professional counsellor in the college.

Apart from this, the group along with the mentor formally gathers once in a month, as per

the scheduled time prescribed by the college, usually in the last week of every month. The

group engages in various activities like discussions and interactions on socially relevant

issues. At times, the mentors and mentees of certain groups propose topics of

contemporary significance for college level discussions in the subsequent meetings. A few

subjects of current relevance are also suggested by the IQAC and the teaching community.

Group-wise mentor-mentee gathering is made more effective with opportunity for visual

presentation as well. The topic for deliberation is announced in advance. The students are

expected to understand these topics in detail and prepare posters for presentation, which

are displayed department-wise in the college campus. The best posters are given prizes.

Following this, the topic is taken up for discussion during the mentoring hour. The

significance of the topic is discussed in relation to their life. The inevitability of their

interdependence to different units in the society and ecosystems are exposed through these

discussions. The mentor and mentee together decide on the mode of introduction,

discussion and consolidation of their personal views in this respect. The group meetings

also provide a platform for better interaction to the students from different socio-economic

backgrounds.

Each department is given the freedom to implement the practice under the broad

guidelines specified by the College and the results are very encouraging. Based on

suggestions from the student feedback, modifications in the practice are incorporated from

time to time.

5. Evidence of Success

The practice of mentoring has proven to be of great success. The students have started

opening up their needs to the teachers, thereby fostering an improved teacher-student

relationship. As a result, teachers are able to understand the problems faced by the

students and help them to resolve the same. The mentor on identification of the specific

psycho-social needs of the students leads to the professional counselling and many

students are benefitting from the presence of the professional counsellor on campus.

The discussions on various topics of contemporary relevance helped the students to be

more involved in socially relevant issues The students also become more environmentally

and socially conscious which can be seen from their efforts in the activities organized in

the campus.

A better involvement and a wider participation in group/extra-curricular activities can be

noted among the students.


6. Problems encountered

In spite of the success of the practice of mentoring, there are certain problems that the

system encounters.

Insufficiency of time is the major constraint in the implementation of the

programme. The introduction of the CBCSS and the resultant increase in the

academic work leaves the teachers with less time for such activities beyond

curriculum.

The external duties of the teachers such as examination, valuation, training etc.,

reduce the effectiveness of group wise meeting. In such cases, the group are

combined making it unhandy with less scope of individual attention.

7. Resources Required

The major resource required for the implementation of the programme is availability of

manpower. Since the teachers act as the mentors, payment is made only for the service of

the professional counsellors.

8. Note

For the successful implementation of the programme, certain points are to be considered:

The effectiveness of the mentoring programme is directly related to the skill of the

teacher in encountering the psychosocial issues of the student. Therefore, the

teachers are to be given training for basic counselling skills so that they will be

able to show empathy to the students and win their confidence.

The grouping of students in an optimum size of 10-15 is necessary for giving

proper attention. The formal gathering of these groups necessitates more spatial

infrastructure other than the usual classrooms.

The efficacy of the formal group-wise mentoring programme depends on the

selection of the topic of relevance and the ability of the mentor to link that issue to

life, society and environment.

Poster presentation is an integral part of the programme which enhances the

bonding of groups through the active involvement of everybody in the

visualization of the concepts. There should be appropriate place for conducting the

poster presentation effectually.
