Corrective action is taken whenever necessary.

The institution has not introduced evaluation of teachers by external Peers. There is oral feedback from PTA and alumni too.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students

and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

Evaluation is an integral part of teaching-learning process and the college makes sure that all the

relevant information is communicated to the stakeholders.

During the admission interview /counseling, students and their parents are apprised about the

admission and evaluation processes. An Orientation program is conducted at the beginning of the first semester where the students

are briefed about the evaluation methods of the college and of the University (tests, and final

examination), and (other) eligibility criterion (attendance) required to appear for the final

exams. Information is given in the college website.

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?

52

At the University level

The college is affiliated to the Mangalore University and hence is not free to make its own rules.

Mangalore University follows Credit Based Semester Scheme.

Credit marks are to be awarded to the students for extra and co-curricular activities. In recent years, the

University has initiated various reforms as mentioned below:

Introduction of online registration for examination, submission of internal assessment marks. Introduction of OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheets for entering marks at the time of

valuation. Increase in the number of pages in the answer booklet to avoid the use of additional sheets. Digitization of marks cards, scanning of scripts, coding etc. Relaxation of the rules for students to apply for a photocopy of their answer scripts if they are

not satisfied with their marks. Streamlining the evaluation process where the Register Numbers are replaced by bar codes. Minimum attendance of 75% in each paper for the students to appear in final examination.

At the College Level :

The Internal Assessment Committee takes care of the internal examination process.The Activity Clubs conduct various activities throughout the year. A wide choice of co-

curricular and extra-curricular activities is offered to the students. Participation of students is

assessed.At class level assignments , seminars , group discussions and debates are organized and the

performance of students is considered for awarding IA marks.

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?

At University Level:

● The institution is affiliated to Mangalore University and hence cannot initiate and implement any

reforms of its own at the University level.

● The University has brought into effect many student-friendly reforms for redressal of evaluation

grievances and the same is communicated to the students .

● The college strictly follows the evaluation process prescribed by the University.

At College Level:

Some of our senior faculty are members of 'Board of examiners'. The Board is appointed by the

University in each subject for framing the question papers

53

Eligible teachers of our college take part in the centralised evaluation of answer scripts conducted by

the University.

In the college, an examination committee comprising of faculty members and a senior faculty as

the convener has been formed for smooth and transparent conduct of all internal assessment

tests and examinations and to frame guidelines relevant to the evaluation process

The committee in co-operation with the heads of the department, prepares question papers for

the internal tests and a schedule containing dates of internal tests. Internal Assessment marks are awarded on the basis of the performance in the test. The evaluation process is transparent. All the records such as the answer sheets, mark list are

maintained. Apart from curricular, the co-curricular and extr-acurricular activities of the students are also

evaluated.

Credit marks are given to the students for extra and co-curricular activities

Activity clubs conducts various activities throughout the year.

The convener evaluates the student members through continuous and comprehensive process taking

in to consideration their attendance, participation and performance in inter collegiate, state and national

level competitions.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted to measure

student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system.

The institution adopts both formative and summative evaluative methods.

All the faculty members use the formative approach to measure a student’s performance by conducting

oral questions, group discussions, assignments, seminars, presentations, field visits, class tests and

presentation. Though these activities do not constitute the basis for the internal assessment of students

directly, they do indirectly help them to face the summative stage of the course namely internal test in

every semester and a final University examination for evaluation. Thus the formative evaluation

process leads to the students’ achievement in the summative valuation.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the

internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall

development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication

skills etc.

To maintain the rigor and transparency in evaluation process the college has taken many steps. The

college follows Mangalore University rules and regulations for evaluation process.

As a part of this, the Principal has constituted an examination committee. Internal tests are

54

conducted on a common schedule for all students. Secrecy of the question paper is ensured. The

paper valuators follow the scheme of valuation prepared by the head of the department in

consultation with other teachers so that the valuation is as uniform as possible. Evaluated

answer scripts are given to the students to make them aware of their mistakes and are collected

and kept in the department. A record of students' performance is conveyed to the parents

2.5.6 What is the graduate attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university? How does the

college ensure the attainment of these by the students?

The Vision of the college is to mould an individual as competent to be employed.

The graduate attributes specified by the institution are:

Spirit of enquiry and innovation Knowledge and skills Qualities of leadership Cultural heritage and appreciating aesthetics Encouragement for Higher Studies Employability Skills Stress Management, problem solving ability Moral values Self-motivation, self-discipline and creativity.

The institution ensures attainment of these attributes by providing: Innovative and humane methods of teaching and learning Conducting programmes and activities to enhance organizational skills Entrepreneurship development programmes Guest lectures by experts in various fields

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at

the college and University level?

The mechanism for evaluation of grievance redressal is as follows:

At the College Level:

● Students get their internal assessment answer scripts for personal seeing. They can seek clarification

from the respective teacher; and if not satisfied, they can seek the intervention of HOD and/or the

Principal, if needed.

● Final consolidated internal marks are displayed on the notice board and the student's signature is

obtained on the internal assessment mark sheet before forwarding the same to University.

At the University Level

● The Students are allowed ‘personal seeing’ of their answer scripts after evaluation,

if they are not satisfied with marks awarded.

● Students can apply for ‘re-totalling’, if they have doubts about marks tabulation.

55

● Students can also apply for ‘re-valuation’ of their answer scripts on payment of prescribed fee within

a fixed period.

RESOURCES

4.1 Physical Facilities

4.1.1 What is the policy of the Institution for creation and enhancement of infrastructure

that facilitate effective teaching and learning?

In our college we have been striving hard to put necessary infrastructure to enhance the quality of

teaching and learning. Though our college started its journey in 2007, it was running in a very small

building belonging to the Municipality consisting of only 7 rooms. Now we have our own building

near Junior College of Virajpet. In the new building we have 7 rooms with a computer lab and a

separate room for library and Physics and Chemistry lab. Due to shortage of class rooms all BA classes

are conducted in municipality building and all B.Com & BBM classes are in new building at a distance

of 2km. We have requested heads of the government to provide funds for constructing more rooms and

a separate building for library. Seminar hall is also very much required for hosting and conducting

special lectures and other academic and cultural programs. There is a still lot to be done in our college

with regard to physical infrastructure. However, we have not failed in providing quality education for

our students. With available infrastructure we have put in our sincere efforts to make sure that our

students get quality education.

a) Curricular and co-curricular activities – classrooms, technology enabled learning spaces, seminar halls, tutorial spaces, laboratories, botanical garden, Animal house, specialized

facilities and equipment for teaching, learning and research etc.

For conducting curricular and co-curricular activities at the college we have been managing

with the available infrastructure.

● Classrooms: We have 7 classrooms in Municipality building and somehow we are managing with

this. Of the 7 classrooms five rooms are in very deplorable condition. Repair work has been taken up

for fixing the problems. In the new building 5class rooms are in good conditions.

● Technology enabled learning space: We have a separate computer lab with a setting capacity of 20.

Smart class room set up is in process and soon we will have a smart class room with computer and

LCD projector and other required technological equipments.

b) Extra –curricular activities – sports, outdoor and indoor games, gymnasium, auditorium, NSS,

NCC, cultural activities, Public speaking, communication skills development, yoga, health and

● Play ground: We have a very sprawling playground. It has to be given some fillip to make it one of

the best playgrounds. It needs basic facilities for students to make it use for not only cricket and

volleyball other sports as well.

● Facilities for indoor games: Facilities for indoor games are provided within the college building

itself. Students are encouraged to play Chess and Carom in the corridors after class hours.

● NSS Unit: We have full-fledged NSS unit in our college. NSS Volunteers take up various socially

relevant and development work and make campus and surroundings look beautiful. Every year a week

long NSS camp will be held in nearby villages and villagers are educated on various issues mainly

● Rover & Rangers : We have Rover & Rangers Unit in our college. They also take up adventure

tours, participating in helping needy people and many more activities.

● Cultural Forum: Cultural forum is the hub of the extra-curricular activities. Cultural forum is

entrusted to organize all the national festivals and also organize cultural programs twice in a year to

give our students a space for exhibiting their hidden talent. Our college has won many prizes and

accolades in zonal and university level in various cultural programs.

is when less compared to other developing nations. This is because of lack of accessibility of the higher

education for rural students. We aim to fill this gap by providing higher education to the rural

community and economic weaker sections of the society. We are enabling rural students to take the

benefit of the economic liberalization to improve their standard of living through higher education. Our

vision for future is to enable our students to participate in the socio-economic development of the

nation.

its quality policy and plans?

The Department of Collegiate Education (DCE) is the top most authority under which our college is

functioning. DCE gives instructions to run the college without much hassles. However, the Principal

and Faculty are the main backbone of the college. They design and implement the plan and quality

policy time to time. Principal as the head of the institution looks after the overall development of the

college. The Principal of the college entrusts the responsibility to the faculty and make them as

of the students. On the other hand students also encouraged to perform well in their academics.

6.2.2 Does the Institute have a perspective plan for development? If so, give the aspects

considered for inclusion in the plan.

Our college is striving hard to cater to the needs of the rural community to enable them to have higher

infrastructural facilities at the college. Establishing smart classroom, conference

hall, playground for students, separate buildings for library, women’s rest rooms, separate departments

are some of infrastructural requirements we are trying to put in place in the next four years.

Our college works with local community in co-existence manner. Education institution is not an

isolated entity; it is also a part of the community. Thus engaging with community in achieving our

educational goal gives a different perspective to our students. NSS Unit in this direction always serves

for the betterment of the community it surrounds. NSS every year organizes a week long camps in the

nearby villages and takes up various beneficial activities of the community. Very recently we had

organized two important lectures which are closely related to the local community that is “Farmers

Suicide and Remedial Measures”. We in the coming days engage lot with the community and expose

our students more to understand the local community and their needs of better living.

116

in their domain of subject. Seminars/ Conferences and workshops can be attended by obtaining the

OOD facilities..

6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to evaluate and ensure that

information on multiple activities is appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.

Every year faculty performance appraisal system is done to evaluate the performance of the faculty.

Teachers have to submit their performance appraisal report annually to the Prinicipal who then reviews

and sends the same to the DCE for further verification. Very recently DCE has introduced API system

to evaluate their performance. Based on the API scores faculties will be promoted. We collect feedback

from the students to appraise the performance of the teachers. The college principal individually

collects the feedback from the students and analyzes the performance for taking corrective measures to

improve the classroom teaching by giving instructions to improve the same.

6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal reports by the management

financial resources?

We have a system in place to monitor effective and efficient use of available financial resources.

Grants Utilization committee/purchase committee meets and takes appropriate decisions to utilize the

funds to improve the existing facilities. Many times required materials (Computers, Classroom

furniture and other equipments) are supplied by the DCE itself. So the financial resource allocation is

very minimal. UGC fund is utilized for purpose that the UGC provides its funds. There is a clear

the teaching and learning outcomes annually in some cases periodically. Some of the method we adapt

to review the teaching and learning process are:

Performance Appraisal System: Every year annual performance appraisal is done to assess

performance of the teaching staff. DCE recently introduced API score for assessing the teaching

staff. Principal of the college also assess the individual performance and suggestion for

improving teaching and learning process. Feedback: We collect feedback from the students, parents and alumni. Students’ feedback is

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning

174

We have been experimenting with various method of teaching mainly using ICT for classroomteaching, encourage students to present seminars, assignment, case analysis, video analysis, role playand take up small projects to have field knowledge. We also organize annual budget meet , organizelectures and seminars on various facts of commerce and management.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities

The department has many activities to encourage organizational skills of students like placementactivities, visiting other colleges, campus cleaning, contribution to hospitalized students and manystudents are volunteers in NSS, Rowers and Rangers, Blood donation camps.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans

Strength

Faculty are encouraged to attend orientation programs, refresher programs to enhance their

knowledge, skills and abilities. Most potential department as there has been an increase in the enrolment of students year after

year. Students are dynamic and teachers are much enthusiastic and participate in every aspect. Teachers are highly disciplined with devotion for duty and sense of responsibility. Bond of good relationship with students and staff.

o Weakness

Department mainly depends on guest faculty due to low permanent staff strength. Lack of job security for guest faculty. Most of the students are from rural background and they are very weak in English language. Teaching heterogeneous students is difficult. Due to semester scheme because of shortage of time, co-curricular activities are not conducted to

a satisfactory level.

Opportunities The present job markets are in favor of commerce and management graduates. So they can get
