about market patterns and grooming the employability skills that help in building a base for the

students is exercised through the career and counselling cell, as a result of socio economic

integration.

The cell supports the students in the development of soft skills and communication ability,

The cell organizes series of entrepreneurship programmes with the motto of facilitating

students to become job creators rather than job seekers.

Periodical understanding of the job avenues prevailing in the market is understood and

programmes are organized to the students at par.

The Academic year 2015 – 2016, was a year with more opportunities for the arts & science

students, to get employed. In understanding the opportunities, the students were trained based on

the industry pre-requisites on aptitude, soft skill, and Communication skills. 395 career aspiring

students were placed in various companies in different job profiles. The average salary of the

placed students ranges from 2 lacs to Rs. 3 lacs p.a.

A special training as a part of Affirmative Action Program of Tata Consultancy

Services, was conducted for 80 hours for SC/ST and underprivileged final year students of arts

and science. The training mainly focused on English Communication Skills and Basic Corporate

Etiquette. Special drives for the trained students were conducted, of which 23 students were

selected to work with Tata Consultancy Services, as Trainee, with package of Rs. 2.28 p.a.

Certificates for all the trained students were issued.

Training on preparation for Banking Exams was organized for 100 final year students on 7& 8th

March 2016 and awareness to the Bank exam dates were periodically informed in notice boards.

To take up leadership roles, activity based Leadership Training Program was organized on

10&11th

of March 2016. Participants were provided certificates for these training programmes.

Mock Aptitude AMCAT Test was conducted for 280 students on 17th

March 2016, whose

individual assessment report was assessed and mailed for areas of improvement.

Tamil Nadu Graduate Federation has conducted orientation on Preparatory steps for all

competitive exams on 10th

October 2015. 480 final year students participated and benefitted in

this orientation programme.

Various professionals from companies addressed the final year students in giving awareness on

jobs and the industry expectations for career growth with them.

Also few students participated in Entrepreneurship an training programme that was held outside

the campus. Such programmes trigger the students to think differently and motivate them to be

Job Providers rather than Job Seekers.

The campus placed students are encouraged to visit the organizations for orientation. On the

contrary students also attend pre-seminar of the companies to know the company‟s profile and

then appear for the interview in the campus.

The career guidance and counselling cell operates in enhancing and facilitating the

students to find a path for career and opportunities that leads to a quality living. Students were

facilitated to attend 40 interviews and 374 students were selected for the year 2015-2016.


The Objectives of the Programmes are to:

help students in their academics and Career identification

help students with assessment for their understanding about individuals intellectual

abilities, Aptitude and Personality

identify issues related to adjustment, behavioural and interpersonal problems

help teachers to identify students with learning problems, under achievers and poor

achievers

help teachers adapt innovative instructional strategies to facilitate the needy

CARE Center services are designed to help students address many of the academic,

relational, social, and emotional concerns they face. Department staff are trained and prepared to

help students through whatever issues they may need assistance with. We have found that many

students find it helpful.

Many students needed help in their academic, relational, social, and emotional concerns

they face. Few were on academic issues such as time management and studying skills and few on

adjustment issues such as transition to college, roommate problems and homesickness.

C.A.R.E also organizes Psycho diagnostics, every year for all the outgoing students of

both the campus, mapping their area of interest and personality typing. During 2015-2016, the

students benefited were Engineering- 350, Arts and Science - 900. It was found that ESTJ

(extrovert-sensing-thinking-judgemental) was the most common personality type found among

the outgoing engineering students. The career paths suitable for this type are business

administration, judiciary, finance and teaching.

The faculty members of the Department of Psychology have been extending psychological

counselling services to the members of the society. This year 19 students had undergone

therapies. The issues addressed during 2014-2015 are learning Problems, adjustment problems,

marital problems, anxiety and depression.

ANNEXURE (I)

Two Best Practices of the Institution

*Provide the details in annexure (annexure need to be numbered as i, ii, iii)

1.Title of the Practice

Everyday Staff Assembly and Student Assembly

2. Goal and Objectives

To start the day with a prayer

To announce the day to day activities of the staff and students

To bring to the kind notice of the faculty on the Viva Voce examinations, Presynoptic

Vivas etc.

To present proudly of the awards won by the faculty and students in various academic and

examination events

3. The context

o It is the practice ever since the University started from 1957 and continued till now.

o Based on Gandhian ideals, the practice of prayer is given importance here; it is a platform

for all faculty to unite together to listen to the announcements of daily activities.

4. The Practice

Every day the higher authorities meet the staff members in the assembly hall before they

start their, routine duties

The assembly starts with a quote by a famous person followed by a prayer song which is

again followed by another quote.

ANNEXURE (II)

1. Title of the Practice

Education for Women and Downtrodden

“You educate a Man, you educate a man, you educate a Women you educate a generation”

quote by Brigham Young

“When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more Prosperous”quote by

Michelle Obama

Our Institution is committed to the cause of women‟s education in particular as is engraved in the

Institutions‟ Vision and Mission

In this era of global competition, where women need to showcase their intellectual / technical

pursuits more (superseding their emotional quotient) and to vie with men on a parallel terrain in tertiary

education (higher education), girls and women have to be given ample ‘space in education’ – as partners

in ‘inclusive education’. Being a women‟s University, the Institution has been successfully deliberating

on it by facilitating both formal and nonformal streams of education. More over the poor and downtrodden

people get more chance to enter our University for education as the fees are comparably very less. Hence,

it is one of the best practices of the Institution.

2. The Goal:

The objective set was to offer wholesome academic experience for women students from all walks of life,

respecting their felt needs for formal and or non formal education.

3. The Context

Expand accessibility - Admit / enrol students (girls) enabling leverage for students from reserved

category, minority groups and vulnerable sections of the society

Entertain enrolment for both formal and nonformal streams

Cater to the needs of the present day women student community by offering course/ programmes

of gynocentric – interest, which also meets global standards

Tailor courses / schemes to empower women beneficiaries – Higher Education for persons with

special needs

Promote both formal and nonformal education

Vision

Self development and empowerment

of women through modern, scientific

and value based education to enable

them to lead a purposeful life filled

with moral and spiritual values.

Mission

The mission of University is to provide quality

education of global standards on a strong foundation of

Indian values and traditions to women students based

on current advances in science, technology and societal

demands with emphasis on commitment to social

progress, peace, harmony and national integration.


4. The Practice:

Focus on achieving wholesome academic experience from the view point of gynocentric

inclusive education had driven us to embark on an education mode offering ‘value – added value

education’. Inculcating value based education, scientific temper, social and citizenship roles,

professional / technical skills, mentoring and honing individual potentials, vocational training,

pruning entrepreneurial skills, sharpening managerial acumen, exposure to special education and

physical education – all with an eye on developing the students‟ intellectual, technical, social and

emotional well being – were well managed through the Programmes / Courses offered by the

seven faculties and the 40 departments therein (formal stream)

5. Evidences of Success:

All Undergraduates students enjoy from a wide range of Programmes / Course options

offered under CBCS system, with compulsory core options and academic flexibility in

Co - curricular, Interdisciplinary course and extracurricular courses.

Incorporation of soft skills / communications skills in the syllabi helped infuse self

confidence in classroom presentations and in facing interviews. In a similar way all

Postgraduates students presented again under CBCS system, offered with academic

flexibility in Interdisciplinary Course, Multidisciplinary Course and Professional

Certification Courses.

Provision to aim higher and complete M.Phil and Ph.D is yet another threshold kept open

for empowering women.

Students also benefitted from the Add - on Courses, offered by the various Centres of the

university and from the skill development programmes

Vocational and skill training offered by the faculty of Community Education and

Entrepreneurship Development and the Department of Physical Education and Special

Education has ushered in prospects for employability.

Students also had benefitted from the Courses offered by various Centres of the

University like Dr.Ambedkar Study Centre, Women‟s‟ Studies Centre and Department of

Life Long Learning

Women‟s Studies Centre (WSC) as a part of their International Women‟s Day

Celebrations had honoured Five Women Achievers in Coimbatore, who had shown their

prowess in different walks of life.

The data presented above are ample proof to showcase the efforts of the Institution to

emerge as a successful agent for educating the women and the downtrodden of the

society.


6. Problems Encountered and Resource Required

To enhance the comprehensive skills of the students and to acclimatize them to the

new learning environment (Transition from School to higher education), conduct of

Bridge courses was felt imperative

Human resource potential, wider linkages, dissemination strategies (through different

media), URL, University website, hostel features and necessary classroom and lab

facilities were the resources required

7. Notes

Academic flexibility and accessibility through provisions made for women

through formal and nonformal modes is quite noteworthy
