Growth of the College

The College is affiliated to the Bharathiar University, Coimbatore and is recognized by the

University Grants commission and AICTE (for the MBA and MCA programmes). It is a co-

educational institution. Within a span of a decade and half since its establishment in 1988 the

College had registered exceptional progress and gained wide recognition including the

accreditation with FIVE STAR rating of the NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation

Council) in November 2001. The effectiveness of the College’s systems and procedures for

quality focus, monitoring and sustenance has been attested by the certification under ISO

9001:2008. The College was granted Autonomy by the UGC in 2004 – 05 enabling it to

design its own innovative programmes, curricula and evaluation systems. Starting with 27

students in 2 UG programmes in 1988, the college now has 3505 (2811 UG, 562 PG, 132

research) students in 14 UG, 9 PG, 9 M Phil and 8 Ph D programmes leading to the degrees of

the Bharathiar University in Management, Computer Science, Information Technology,

Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Visual and Mass Communication, Commerce

and International Business. Admission to all courses is open to students from all over India:

A good proportion of the students are from other states; there have been a few foreign

students too, from time to time The College is distinguished by its excellent infrastructure –

academic and residential, the quality of its teaching and professional preparation and its

unmatched promotion of all aspects of all round advancement of students. Students have been

regularly securing distinctions and gaining preferential recognition for placement in leading

organizations. They have opportunities for simultaneously acquiring additional career

oriented skills/qualifications through the add-on courses of the College and the programmes

of the IGNOU Study Centre at the campus. The IGNOU GYAN VANI FM RADIO

(COIMBATORE) STATION is managed and operated by the College. All the students are

encouraged and provided opportunities to become computer and internet conversant, and to

appreciate the potentials of the IT interface of their disciplines.

NAAC accreditation and after

Thirteen years ago in 2001, Dr G R Damodaran College received the NAAC Accreditation

joining the elite group of 20 such institutions at that time and becoming the youngest

institution to get the 5 star rating. Again in the year 2009, the College was reaccredited at the

A grade level. This seal of approval gave to the College renewed zeal – and commitment to

pursue its progressive onward march adhering to its purposeful orientations as ensconced in

its mission statement, but with more emphasis on qualitative development, curricular

innovation and multi-dimensional knowledge activity.

Mission Statement

Dr G R Damodaran College of Science conceives education as a multidimensional continuum

with several interrelated yet distinct goals, concerns, functions and activities. The College
seeks to achieve quality in this totality and has adopted the following mission statement:

Dr G R Damodaran College of Science shall strive for relevance and excellence in Education

through:

 Maintenance of a progressive and futuristic outlook in development by making choices

favouring areas of high growth potential and expanding opportunity;

In the fourteen years since the first NAAC accreditation the college has accordingly made

substantial progress at an accelerated pace as may be seen from the following highlights.

There has been a drop in UG / PG courses in some Biosciences, MSc (Computer Science),

MSW (Social Work) due to want of demand. There has been a considerable increase in UG

BCom intakes. There has been consolidation and quality improvement all round – in

facilities, research, faculty upgradation, teaching-learning, course updating etc.

Achievements in Perspective

As the highlights reveal, there has been good and rapid growth in infrastructure, - physical
and academic. In the later period the growth has been in computer, e-facilities and lab
facilities. There has been an impressive growth in the range and quantum of activities and
considerable amount of involvement and achievements in research, extension, and outreach.
There has been an impressive growth in the number of PhD’s/ M Phil’s among faculty, an
impressive number of faculty obtaining these degrees, an enormous spurt in paper publication,
conference attendance and paper presentation. The number of high level seminars organised
/attended by faculty are unparalleled by other similar institutions. There are a large number of
computer terminals and extensive broadband internet and intranet access in the campus
including considerable numbers in the departments. Technology infusion is on the upswing in
all areas: teaching learning, library, administration, examination etc. But how far has the
institution been successful in its primary and rather unique goal of student-oriented
programmes and approaches for overall student development in knowledge, skills, and
preparation for life and careers? Are the students and stakeholders satisfied? Part of the
answer may be available through measurable feedbacks and parameters – such as good results
(nearly 85 – 95% in most programmes), low drop outs (2% - 4%) and good placement. Except
a small percentage of those who marry and settle down, all the rest, about 90% to 95%, are
well engaged within a short time of passing out - in higher education/research (abroad or in
India) /employment/entrepreneurship/family business. About 20 to 25% of all students get
employed directly or indirectly through the placement efforts of the college. It is an
indication of the popularity of the college and recognition of the college’s purposefulness and
quality that except for a few courses, the admissions are close to 100% of the sanctioned
intake in spite of the high fee levels (see Table on next page.) (The exceptions are the
Bioscience courses where the current low demand is a characteristic of the low ebb of science
education in India as a whole to remedy which State level initiatives are called for.) These are
part indicators of the College’s success in its student related aims, but other concrete answers
would come only over the long term, for, education is a foundation for the future whose
soundness can be judged only in terms of the unfolding of the recipient’s life, career and
achievements. On the other hand, we also know that so long as the goals and the commitment
and the means employed - the policies, strategies, systems, facilities, practices of the
institution, and their several aspects - are worthy and sound, the outcomes are bound to be of
high quality. It is these institutional aspects that many of the questions in the NAAC self –
study report seeks to probe, and the College finds that it has very positive and impressive
10
responses to most of the questions in all the criterion areas; - though, there is always scope
for further progress and improvement.

Institutional Quality and Endeavour:

The concept of quality of educational institution comprises many aspects, responsibilities and

deliverables, and requires the provision and effective integration and activation of many

instrumentalities (resources, systems, and strategies) of good quality. The NAAC criteria

attempt to group the elements of these instrumentalities and their expression into categories

and spread them out as factors which are assessable, so as to provide a framework for the

evaluation of quality.

Dr G R Damodaran College of Science has always been keenly aware of this

multidimensional morphology of institutional quality and institutional role (as its mission

statement makes clear.) GRD College never limited its locus to one of an affiliated College

sending up students for university examinations and getting results. Student development –

particularly vocation and career wise – has been its major priority, but that priority has been

seen as a part of the totality of the multisided knowledge endeavours, all of which in their

interaction enrich each other and lead to educational excellence. Until the grant of autonomy

however, the College was tied up to an extent by the University examinations, and the rigid

subject schemes and syllabuses and all other crippling limitations that arose out of the

examination centrality. Since the grant of autonomy the College has been able to address

itself more fully to its mission of educational excellence, particularly the design of curricula

and educational strategies based on student centrism, (holistic development, knowledge and

capability engenderment, closer relevance to student needs) and response to emerging societal

needs and all their implications in terms of knowledge generation, innovations in application,

and adaptability to change.

The College has made much progress in its journey towards institutional quality. Some of the

highlights of developments in the years since the grant of autonomy were indicated earlier in

12
this summary. The aspects and the hues of the progress are more fully described in the

criterion-wise evaluative reports and the departmental evaluative reports to follow. Some of

the salients of these are presented in the succeeding paragraphs of this executive summary.

It should be acknowledged that the exercise towards the first NAAC accreditation helped us

to break up our goals into more specific targets and thus to gain clarity and focus on the

various aspects needing attention . The second and current exercises have not only generated

greater awareness and provided direction and motivation towards the further enhancement of

quality and the institutionalization of the quality endeavour, but also provided the frame work

for evaluation of our initiatives towards accreditation goals.

Curricular Aspects

14 UG, 9 PG, 3 PG Diploma, 8 Research and 16 Certificate (career-oriented, add-on,) course

are offered, of which BSc (IT), MSc (IT), and B Com (Actuarial Management), BCom

(International Business), BCom (Information Technology), BA(English Literature with

Global Business Context), MA (English Literature with C.A), P.G. Diploma in

Entrepreneurship Development and P.G. Diploma in Robotics are the new ones started in the

last 7 years. All programmes are on the semester system. All the programmes are fully or in

part professional /career – oriented.

The major goal of the College is student development for competence and productive careers

in a changing and competitive world. These aims and the orientations and the College’s quest

for excellence and innovation are widely known outside through press releases, news items on

conferences, events, VIP visits etc, brochures, profiles, magazines and publications and

student festivals, and word of mouth of parents, alumni, visitors and students. The College

has earned quite a reputation for excellence and student friendliness.

The advent of autonomy has enabled the College to open up the curricular front, and make

large number of productive thrusts towards purposeful and effective education. The

Academic Council, Boards of studies, faculty and management have their fingers on the pulse
13
of student preferences. They observe changing trends, emerging needs and opportunities and

collect various feedbacks and expert advice so as to discuss and take appropriate curricular

and related action.

In all the study programmes elective options have been included to provide choice to the

students in terms of specialisation, interest, or orientation. Most of the programmes are in

modern areas of occupational or emerging significance and are interdisciplinary or

multidisciplinary (MBA, Visual Communication, International Business, the several BCom

diversifications) The curriculum in all courses has been extensively revised/redesigned on a

continual basis (equivalent to a total revision around once in 5 to 7 years) to achieve i) content

updatement and inclusion of new subjects / electives in tune with knowledge and technology

development, and the emerging global context ii) more practical/problem solving/application

orientation iii) promotion of self–learning, and skill-development. Projects (mini and major),

Internship/Industrial Training, or Field work, and Term papers occupy a significant place. 16

add-on three-stage career-oriented courses are offered to the UG students and 3 or 4 at

advanced (PG) diploma level. Some space has been allotted in the UG courses for General

studies to provide wider perspectives and understanding. In all UG courses, Professional

Communication/Communicative skills is a part of the curriculum.

Experiential-learning, problem-solving, professional and practical skills, communication

skills, computer conversance, career-orientation, general awareness, and women issues (where

appropriate,) receive stress in learning and teaching strategies and evaluation. The semester

system and the considerable scope for continuous assessment enable the pursuit of the wider

aims and the effective use of new curricular components and strategies of learning.

Curriculum review and development is sought to be made a continuous activity throughout

the year - through informal and frequent faculty and board meetings.

The College plays its part in refresher and continuing education through its short term

programmes and a very significant role in educational outreach through the IGNOU study

14
centre run by the College, the IGNOU FM Radio station at the College and the many

workshops it organizes.

Teaching, Learning and Evaluation

Admissions are made by merit and on the basis of student interest and aptitude judged at an

informal interview (and a test where necessary); good prospectuses and information material

are available to prospective applicants besides counseling at the College to enable the proper

choice of courses. The College is not fixated on academic front-runners and rankers but

admits above average students with motivation. Applications can be downloaded from the

Net. There is good but manageable demand for seats (about 1.5:1) as the College offers

quality education which does not come cheap. The courses are vocational/professional, the

students well-informed and selective and there is little need for special bridge courses or

special attention, except in the matter of English competency. Those who fail or are unable to

make due progress are given appropriate additional help. Various teaching learning methods

(many of them innovative) are used in the several departments for the various subjects – the

aim being to inculcate understanding, mastery and skill. Some of these are: tutorial/in house

workshop, problem-solving, quiz, discussion, computer-assisted sessions, on-line demo,

animated LCD presentations, internet display, computer aided and e-learning, on-line courses,

self-study and seminar, visits, field work, programmed learning, critique and creative

sessions, display/exhibit preparation, mini projects, term papers, case study, management

games etc. Outstanding and constantly updated and net enabled library and web-resources are

available and used both by students and faculty. There is extensive Wi-Fi coverage enabling

many innovations. Faculty are selected on merit, preference being given to experience,

achievement and higher qualifications; there are no staff positions vacant at any time as

recruitment is done as and when needed. Faculty are deputed liberally to programmes of

faculty development and specialty and refresher programmes and for industrial visits of their

15
choice. They are supported and encouraged to take up research. LCD’s, OHP’s and

computers are routinely used by teachers.

The teacher student ratio is good (1:22 overall). Of the 155 teachers, 39 are PhD’s and 116

M Phil’s and all teachers keep attending large numbers of refresher/specialty/orientation

seminars and, yearly, they organize around 50 such programmes at the College. Teachers are

allowed to do M Phil/Ph D research and go on visit/stay at industries/advanced institutions. A

very senior educationist is available to at the College for consultation on after quality

improvement/development and to mentor the teachers. Special research advisers had also

been appointed earlier for some period.

Teachers have a substantial role and work in co-curricular and other corporate activities and

in College administration and student guidance. The College works around 217 days in a year

with 184 teaching days.

Teacher performance and achievements are assessed by an annual self-

evaluation/performance appraisal, and student opinionnaires on each teacher and subject.

Increments to an extent are based on performance, and teachers are encouraged to take

improvement action to fill in their shortcomings. The ISO audit on set targets also helps in

this regard and triggers retraining and remedial action.

Continuous assessment carries 25 and 40% weightage in the UG and PG courses (50% in

practical subjects) and this component is used not only to keep the students working steadily

but also to include various curricular components to promote multi-sided development. PG

examination papers are valued by two examiners – one internal and the other external.

Students are clearly informed about the modalities of continuous assessment and the

requirements for credit. Model examination is given and model papers are sent to Q.P setters.

Results are reviewed by the Principal, HOD’s and tutors for remedial action where needed.

Parents are kept informed. The feasibility of introducing open book examination as a
16
component of on-line examination, in some subjects, is being examined. A supplementary

examination is conducted in June for the benefit of failing final year students.

Research, Consultancy and Extension

Research has been given importance from the beginning. Considerable work is in progress in

the form of M Phil and Ph D projects. (These programmes are now offered in all

departments).

Independent departmental research arising from consultancy and from grant–in–aid projects,

and supportive research for the large number of government funded extension projects of

technology transfer (taken up in association with the GRD Trust’s NGO organization – the

Centre for Research in Social Sciences, Technology and Culture) have also been carried out.

There is a total of three ongoing research projects funded by the UGC. Large number of Post

Graduate student projects is also research studies on aspects falling under the departmental

research interests. Excellent facilities are made available – up-to-date library, including

journals and advanced texts, net access, support for visits to other institutions and conference

participation, leave and adjustments in workload etc. The laboratories have very sophisticated

equipment and laboratory consumables are available without restriction. The annual research

expenditure (consumables contingencies) is estimated to be over Rs.20 lakhs.

The College has conducted the largest number of research seminars and the faculty have an

impressive list of publications to their credit. A faculty research committee keeps research

needs and progress in review.

Currently 7 sponsored UGC research projects and 73 M.Phil and 59 Ph.D research projects

are in progress. A total of 1 sponsored project and 14 Ph.D projects have been completed.

There are in the College, 49 approved guides for M.Phil of whom 13 are approved guides for

Ph.D also.

In the past 7 years 15 research oriented national and international level seminars / workshops

have been conducted with sponsorship from DST, DBT, UGC, Ministry of Health and Family

17
Welfare, DRDO etc. Between 2008 - 14 alone, 47 books and around 797

(Journal/Conference) papers have been published by members of faculty. A large number of

MOU’s for collaboration in research, development, training, student projects and consultancy

have been signed (with 19 industries/research institutions)

The College has made efforts to provide consultancy help to local enterprises and

entrepreneurs. Availability of time is a constraint. A consultancy brochure has been brought

about listing the types of testing, research, training facilities and consultancy expertise

available. Much of the consultancy so far has been as a part of collaborative or extension

arrangements and hence free.

Considerable outreach work has been done by way of conducting seminars, workshops and

short term programmes for students, teachers and others from outside, beaming the IGNOU

FM Radio broadcasts, publication of a national Science Magazine (Wide Spectrum), and

conducting the IGNOU contact programmes. Awareness and skill training programmes in the

several technology extension projects for weaker sections, and HIV/AIDS awareness and

other such programmes for various sections have been the other outreach services. There

have been welfare programmes too.

Infrastructure and Learning Resources

The College library is an outstanding resource with up-to-date and large stocks of

texts/journals/CD’s etc. (44615 Volumes, 177 Journals/magazines) It subscribes also to the

EBSCO online multi-journal facility. Remarkable support and attention are continuously

given to keep it that way and annually about Rs.15 lakhs – 20 lakhs are spent for additions

(about 6% of annual expenditure). The library is automated, (computerised), offers several

services and is open around 350 days a year (10 hours a day). There is provision for students

and staff to requisition the purchase of new books. A faculty library committee monitors the

growth and functioning of the library. The campus is extremely well served with computers

(900) with continuous net connectivity (2.5 mbps broadband) available at most terminals.
18
Good out door/indoor games facilities, stadiums, 100% standby generator power, large

transport fleet, hostels (700 students), generous provision of AV aids (LCD’s, OHP’s and

computers in all departments), campus networking and Inspro and Edumanage automation,

Wi-fi in most parts of the campus, bank extension counter, and water coolers at many

locations are the other infrastructural features/facilities. The campus has its own waste water

treatment plant, and is active on the waste-management, carbon-footprint-reduction, energy-

saving and other environment friendly endeavours.

The College is well endowed with modern and well furnished buildings equipped with

teaching aids including LCD’s and OHP’s, hostel blocks, stadiums and auditoriums,

conference halls, play areas, canteen and car parks The Indoor Stadium in the College is

unique.

Laboratory facilities and computer and I C T facilities are extensive, sophisticated and are

kept augmented and modernized all the time. In this respect the College stands well apart

from most other institutions The lab facilities in Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and Visual

Communication are the best in the state.

Additions to buildings, laboratory equipments computers and library in the last 6 years

amount to Rs.4037319/-, Rs.5638617/-, Rs.7275521/-, and Rs.20912196/-, Rs.14716523/-,

Rs. 57,36,031/-, respectively.

The campus is verdant and calm and is kept well maintained. Infrastructure and lab equipment

are also kept well maintained with necessary in-house technical staff for the purpose as well

as annual maintenance contracts.

All departments have computers with intranet and internet access for staff use; On-line and

downloaded information is frequently used in teaching. The Institution has its own website

giving complete information, examination results, and online/downloadable application

facility. Students have all the facilities like Hostel, STD, reprographic, banking, canteen,

gymnasium, parking, sports and physical education, water fountains, transport fleets etc.

19
Student Support and Progression

There are currently 3505 students on rolls in the various programmes (UG: 2811 PG: 562

Ph D: 59 M Phil:73). Of these 1114 are women. 120 are from other states. Though no specific

communal/class wise reservations are made and all admissions are on merit, there is good

representation from all groups. The student strength has been growing as below; 2003:1941;

2004: 2139; 2005: 2308; 2006: 2414: 2007: 2456; 2008:2461, 2009: 2593, 2010: 2764,

2011:2754, 2012:2973, 2013:3007, 2014:3057, 2015:3505, 2016:3681. The total student

admissions has consistently been around 90% of the sanctioned intake, with demand being 1.1

to 1.5:1 in most programmes (An additional section of MIB (50 students) had to be started in

2008 – 09, and an additional section of BSc (Visual Communication) (50 students) in 2014-15

to meet the persistent demand.) Admissions were 998 in UG and 303 in PG courses in 2015

– 16. Drop-out is insignificant in the College. Results have been consistently good too, 88%

in both UG and PG, with the proportion of first classes being on the average 60% in the UG

and 85% in the PG courses. Around 40% of the UG students and 15% of the PG students go

for higher studies and 15% of all students go abroad. The rest get well employed in

professions/business - almost all in the private sector. Around 15% of the students do so

through the College placement services. Most students fall in the middle / upper middle class

and some come from the affluent sections. Many students avail of bank loans.

The College is keen about students’ academic and all-round progress, personality

development, career preparation and placement. This student-centered approach is reflected

in curriculum design and organization, (hands on and cocurricular learning components) co-

curricular activities on a large scale, innovative teaching and learning strategies, placement

efforts, and participatory provisions.

Importance is given to help students to become job-ready, and oriented and skilled for career

requirements. Various strategies and programmes are employed for this purpose (industrial

20
and practical bias, projects and communication courses; cocurricular and personality

development and professional orientation activities, interactions, bootcamps etc.)

From before their admission, and throughout the course, students are given all necessary

information and guidance – through publicity, prospectuses, brochures, information folders,

calendar, notice boards, orientation programme, tutorial system, letters to parents etc. Alumni

contacts are maintained by the departments. Curricular details and syllabuses and other

information (schedules, results) are available in the College website, also.

There are class committees to voice problems and suggestions on teaching, academic

facilities, curriculum, etc. Students provide feedbacks on staff performance. There is a

tutorial system to monitor student progress and help for addressing their problems.

Students have easy access to the tutors, teachers, heads of department, and the principal

They have a suggestion box and the grievance committee, the class committees and their

tutors for making themselves heard. Counselling is provided to sort out problems. Health

aspects are cared for through arrangement with a major hospital nearby. Accident insurance

has been provided. Mess committees, student associations and their subgroups are all avenues

for student governance and expression. Placement efforts – special training programmes,

linkages with industry and campus interviews, publication of placement profiles – by a full

time placement officer and departmental coordinators play a big role in student’s finding

proper employment.

The students of the College have the reputation of conducting the biggest inter-collegiate

cultural events in the region: over the years, these have tended to become more professional

and talent-oriented.

The variety and number of student activities – mega festivals in each department, the number

of associations and clubs and their activities, the numerous student magazines, the variety of

events– face to face, CEO’s charters, professional / disciplinary interactions, guest lectures,

tours, visits outstation events / seminars, displays and exhibits, service camps and activities -

are unique to the College and serve as outlets for constructive energies. They enable
21
leadership and personality development and acquisition of organizational skills and provide a

fund of experience and awareness.

Students with talents and promise are supported in their games activities in every way.

Selected sportsmen are given fee waiver and free lodging and board. The College has done

well in the State in Basket ball (men) and Volley ball (women), besides setting a good record

in chess, tennis, and shuttle.

The setting up of an Entrepreneurship Cell had done much to enhance student enterprise and

self-employment motivation.

Governance, leadership and management

The teaching staff comprises 155 members of whom around 63% are women. Among around

95 Non-Teaching staff 41% are women. All appointments are management appointments and

all posts are filled by merit. There is good representation of all communities and classes.

The GRD Trust , whose Chairman is also the Correspondent of the College, and the only

financial decision making authority, provides the funds for new investments /major

infrastructural additions whenever needed. The administration (academic, office, library,

accounts) are ICT supported. The management is to a considerable extent participatory.

There are a number of faculty committees (Library, Research, etc.), a number of academic

bodies (Academic Council, Board of Studies, Interdisciplinary Board, Standing Council,

Examination Committee) besides the Governing Council, HOD’s Council and IQAC and the

ISO group, all of which meet frequently to attend to policy, decision-making and review in

their respective domains.

The Mission statement articulating

1. The diverse knowledge related concerns of the College,

2. their holistic integration to serve the needs of the many stake holders and

3. the approach of progressive thrust and quest for excellence.

22
 has been shaping all strategies and processes of the College and the efforts of the

management and staff. Visionary and dynamic leadership, good communication channels,

commitment of faculty, good systems, organization and facilities have been recognised as

key to effective institutional performance and growth, and are given utmost importance.

At the College the Principal, the Managing Trustee (Correspondent) and the Secretary provide

the leadership, in an informal, participatory and consultative governance style. The goal

commitment and unstinted resource support of the management has been a key element in the

College’s development and eminence in quality.

The Correspondent (Mg. Trustee) and the Secretary (a Trustee) attend College daily and

participate in the operations and are accessible at all times.

HOD’s have a considerable say, and the HOD’s council takes all operational decisions and

recommends on development and policy. Management-Principal-faculty, three way meetings

are frequent. Decision-making and implementation are quite fast.

The departments enjoy considerable flexibility as well as financial and management support,

to develop their facilities, implement innovations and improvements and to start new activities

(curricular, co curricular, research oriented etc).

Faculty participation in planning and development is facilitated by having various faculty

committees. Academic governance is totally faculty managed and is oriented to excellence,

relevance and multidimensional quality.

The Academic Bodies of the College are not just formal approving mechanisms or authorities

(as in the University), but have been shaping up as instrumentalities for constructive change,

innovation and progress in education. The Boards of studies for instance have decided to

meet frequently and function additionally as curriculum development centres collecting

feedback, and data from other institutions and users of knowledge, about curricula elsewhere,

about new developments in knowledge, occupations and technologies).

23
The implementation of ISO 9001:2000 quality definition and maintenance system with it’s

audits, evaluation and documentation has institutionalized certain aspects of institutional

quality assurance.

Staff recruitment is purely on merit. Higher qualifications and experience are preferred and

appropriate salaries are fixed. Recruitment as and when vacancies arise ensures that no post

is vacant. Staffing numbers are decided as per needs from time to time and not limited to the

minimum university norms. Faculty are supported for self-upgradation efforts, and

encouraged to attend refresher, orientation and other short-term programmes.

Performance assessment of teachers on various aspects of their work, achievement,

contributions and self development carries weightages in the annual increments.

Technology infusion in the administration, and openness in communication and access,

reduce hierarchical delays and frustrations.

Innovation and Best Practices

The wider knowledge-related mission adopted by the college is itself an innovation and

departure from convention. The motivation for innovations on the teaching-learning, and

curriculum areas arises from the focus on competency-development and career-training rather

than on bookish, note oriented academic. An overall quality enhancement agenda identifying

crucial areas of quality focus and concern, such as student-centric curricular structures and

transaction methodology, professional and practical training, faculty development and

upgradation, greater use of ICT in all aspects, and continuous performance monitoring has

been framed and adopted for concerted effort by all departments and faculty.

The College has taken many initiatives to make its efforts student-centric. Outstation

seminars, window displays and other student exhibits, introduction of broad-based general

studies, and the June supplementary examinations may be cited as examples. Growing

adoption of technology is reflected in the use of intranet for communication, e-learning and

administration, and the forays into on-line education. Introduction of quality audit procedures

24
for ISO 9001:2000 has enabled the faculty to become aware of quality maintenance systems

and engage in quality monitoring.

Encouragement and support are given to innovation of new programmes, curricula and

teaching-learning methods. The Boards of Studies are also functioning as curriculum

development cells.

Under the general studies slot in the first 4 semesters, (meant for inculcating wider

perceptions) students are allowed to offer subjects of their choice, and even select text books

for study. Use of online tests has been initiated and open book examinations, in certain

subjects is being discussed.

Soft skills development is given special attention. In the designing curricular components,

and the co-curricular and extra curricular programme and in the tutorial counseling, balanced

attention is given to various aspects of the students’ holistic development – intellectual,

emotional, spiritual and career-wise. Community service gets due place in these activities,

which also provide for excitement and fun.

Considerable decentralization of departments with regard to their cocurricular and

development activities and providing some of them their own independent facilities like

computer centers and libraries have led to enormous increase in faculty and student activities,

cultural and specialty events, publication of magazines, forging of industry linkages etc.

Industry contacts have been actively promoted.

Importance is attached to periodic contacts with and visits by parents.

The college has taken enormous interest in extension projects and outreach activities –

through short term non formal courses, and through its IGNOU Centre and the IGNOU

Gyanvani Radio at the campus. Students are involved in some of these activities.

Constant endeavour is made to adopt best practices in spheres like teacher updatement,

overall student-development, student support, participation of stake-holders etc.

25
Departmental Evaluations:-

All departments have furnished reports of good progress and performance in curriculum

revision and innovation of strategies (for updatement and effective education), research,

extension, consultancy and outreach development, and faculty upgradation and participation,

student development approaches and programmes, (including placement), augmentation of

facilities, multisided quality enhancement and innovative practices. While all departments

share the College’s core aims, focus and approaches, they still have differences in orientation

because of the nature of their courses. Biosciences tend to stress laboratory facilities and

skills, and research and disciplinary depth; Commerce and Management, the changing context

of globalization and technology permeation and professional conversance and soft skills;

Visual Communication, the technology aided creative work and expression; and Computer

Science, the technical problem solving / programming abilities and keeping up with rapidly

growing industry needs. Each department has thus some unique perspectives and strategies of

its own, such as the outstanding cocurricular programme of the Commerce department to

develop confidence, motivation, and enterprise; or the diverse activities of the Visual

Communication department towards promoting professional multimedia -competence and

creativity. The English Department is engaged in carrying forward programme which is a

mix of business background and context in the global scene with the English language

abilities needed to support competitive growth.

Research has picked up exceedingly well in the Biosciences, Computer Science and

Information Technology departments, resulting in a large number of publications. The

Computer Science department has taken up R & D in Robotics. The Biotechnology has

retained the position won by its as among the best in the State

Apart from the faculty advantage, (commitment, research eminence and large number of

research publications) a special feature of the department is its unmatched laboratory facilities

26
and professional laboratory training. In fact the department often conducts molecular biology

and biotech laboratory training courses for Biosciences students of other Colleges.

Substantial additions are regularly made also to the library collection in the area. All

departments are recognized for the M.Phil and Ph.D. programmes. Members of faculty have

a considerable number of research papers to their credit. Research involvement reflects in UG

and PG teaching and in offering project work for the students.

In the past few years thorough renewal and redesign of curricula have led to updatement,

purposeful learning and acquisition of greater practical and research competence. Subjects

like Bioentrepreneurship and laboratory project were included in the BSc Biotechnology

curriculum and Medical Biotechnology and Nano technology in the MSc. Significant

continuous assessment credit has been allotted to components like skills in seminar

presentation, self-study assignments, class notes etc. Lab practicals were made more

intensive, professional, and open ended. The progression of students has been good. 30% get

placed through College efforts. (33% go for research and higher studies and the rest get

placed through own efforts in a few months). Around 80% of the BSc’s take up higher study.

Conclusion:

Although the executive summary has ended, it would be in order to add a few concluding

remarks on the future tasks the College has identified. While the progress and achievements

of the College in terms of the quality of its services to multiple stakeholders and in relation to

the criteria elements have been very good, there is still much that the College could and needs

to do, to reach levels of excellence in many of these areas except perhaps in the matter of

physical facilities and infrastructure.

While the faculty self upgradation rate has been gratifying, the large staff turnover of around

30% every year, inhibits the build up of faculty experience, cohesion, identification,

continuity and momentum needed for sustained progress. A large part of the training,

orientation and motivation imparted to faculty members is lost to the institution.

27
Faculty retention is thus an important priority and measures have to be devised to facilitate

retention.

There is keen awareness and multitude of continual efforts by faculty with positive support

from the management in several spheres, regular performance and quality audits under the

ISO certification. Clarity has however to emerge on how the Q.A. system could be

institutionalized and streamlined with appropriate systems, mechanisms, and staffing – e.g.

for collection of feed back from stake holders and other sources, its documentation, analysis,

and translation into programmes, their implementation, monitoring, and outcome evaluation

etc. A curriculum development cell in each department should be a part of this system.

Thirdly, while it is understood that autonomy and the scope it offers for multiple curricular

components to be included, taught and learnt in different ways, and assessed each in its own

special way, much progress remains to be made in this direction, and in making students to

develop their special interests and work hard at productive self-learning towards scholarship,

analytical and application ability and problem-solving competence, rather than be spoon-fed

on uniform predigested information and standardized experience inputs.

Fourthly the institution could expand its social dimension – responsibility to society at large,

contribution to national priorities and objectives, to knowledge itself and its votaries, the

teachers and researchers, rather than continue merely as an efficient enterprise supplying the

customers – the students with good services and their money’s worth. Resources are a critical

area standing in the way of self-financing Colleges – reaching their full potential. For want of

student numbers some of the College’s outstanding advanced study departments like Social

Work, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics have had to be put in suspended animation in recent

years.

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 Curriculum Design and Development

1.1.1 How are the institutional vision / mission reflected in the academic programmes
of the College?

The vision in brief is to serve the student community in the best manner, to contribute
to knowledge, and to keep growing in terms of offerings and quality.

Hence, the mission stresses relevance and excellence in education and outlines the
strategies for their pursuit as below, with respect to academic programmes.

a) a) Maintenance of a progressive and futuristic outlook in academic growth by

choosing emerging areas of high growth potential and expanding opportunity.

The College has thus made a conscious choice of the fields of Management, Computer
Science, Information Technology, Commerce and International Business, Visual
Communication, Biosciences and English for the world of business in its path of
growth.

b) Design of courses, instructional methodologies and experiential learning to equip

students with creativity and problem-solving skills, to prepare them for rewarding
careers and professions and to face challenges in a rapidly changing world;
c) Creation of facilities and programmes of advanced studies, research and
development in appropriate emerging areas of national importance and global
significance;
d) Continual growth in the quality and range of offerings, activities through the
innovative augmentation and updating of programmes.

The culture of GRD targets on the urge to move forward, sensitivity to the changing
context and thrust towards quality improvement and maximization of all potentials. This
is found to permeate all policies and activities at the campus. The process takes place on a
continual basis through a tier of administrative and academic mechanisms.

The curricula are frequently reviewed, redesigned and updated to match student needs
and to bring in modernity on a continuous basis.

The curricular design in terms of its structuring and transaction methodology aims to
provide options to student’s career orientation, to promote industry–institution interaction
and to engender economically valuable life skills.

For Instance in the Management Programmes, the on-line courses focusing career
and life skills, e-commerce and brand management make the students emphatically
employable in the corporate world. The students are provided with enormous
opportunities to enrich their skill sets in entrepreneurship, business analytics,

B1
 CRITERION I CURRICULAR
ASPECTS

environmental sensitivity and International Financial Reporting Standards etc. by

regularly engaging in several activities.
In the Commerce & International Business Programme the curriculum design,
innovative learning pedagogies, collaborative programme, hands on experience,
industry interaction, skill development, mentoring towards careers and advanced studies
are given high priority.

In the Communication programme, need-based, job-oriented, technically advanced

courses are offered and these are kept reviewed to reflect the changing technologies
and rapid growth of the visual media industry.

The School of Biotechnology ensures that the academic programmes reflect the
rapid growth of the field by constant curricular renewal and continuous upgradation
and modernization of laboratory work and research.

A unique feature of the College is that the curricular course work is backed by
research and strategized new learning through series of Guest Lectures, Seminars,
Conferences, Workshops, Symposium, Technical Talks at the national and
international levels, Industrial visits, Boot camp, Fieldwork and Certificate courses.

1.1.2. Describe the mechanism used in the design and development of the curriculum?
Give details on the process. (Need Assessment, Feedback, etc)

For the design and development of curriculum, need assessment is done by analyzing
the demands in the industry, popularity etc. The departments collect the information
on current courses, and curricula of leading universities and institutions nationally and
internationally. Employment opportunities are checked from the newspapers and
journals for ascertaining the current trends. Alumni feedback is collected during their
visits. Industry experts are consulted on the trends in technology and practices.
Proposals based on all such information are discussed in the departments and then in
the Boards of Studies meetings. The final drafts are arrived at.

Each major Department has its own Board of Studies for initiating curricular review /
updation / reform. The BOS are comprised of the faculty members, subject experts, a
university nominee, an industry expert and an alumnus. The curriculum development
is facilitated in the following steps:
 Faculty members update their course syllabi through inputs received while attending
seminars, conferences, workshops, FDPs etc. They also obtain and study syllabuses
of leading universities and colleges.
 Informal BOS meetings are organized at the departments as needed to consider and
discuss ideas and inputs on modification / renewal of syllabi in the light of opinions
/ ideas shared by faculty members. Feedback is also collected from the students and
Alumni in this regard.
 The draft of the curriculum thus renewed is sent to the outside expert members of
the BOS well in advance of the meeting, so as to give them sufficient time to think
out their suggestions on the changes / proposals made.
 The revised draft is discussed in the formal BOS meeting.

B2
 CRITERION I CURRICULAR
ASPECTS

 The BOS recommendations are further improved and modified at the Standing
Committee from the point of view of College policy and coordination, and placed to
the Academic Council, which includes nominee of the Bharathiar University and
other eminent experts / academics, for passing with or without modifications.

1.1.3. How does the College involve industry, research bodies, and civil society in the
curriculum design and development process? How did the College benefit
through the involvement of the stakeholders?

Involvement of industry, research bodies and society arises comes through

interactions during meetings, seminars, conferences, visits etc. These entities are also
represented in the Boards of Studies and the Academic Council.

The members of faculty who are members of the Board of Studies attend many
seminars, conferences, workshops and go on industrial visits. They have many
chances to interact with the experts and become aware of current developments in job
specifications, skill-set needs and technology. They also meet the alumni and become
aware of the student views and experiences.

The Memoranda of Understanding (MOU’s) signed with corporates, and research and
academic institutions facilitate interactions which help in developing need-based
curricula. This Industry Institute interface helps the college to get support from the
Industry in the form of Industrial visits, Internships, Major Projects, Placements etc.
There are also tie-ups with professional bodies and associations like CODISSIA,
Coimbatore Management Association (CMA), All India Management Association
(AIMA) etc.

 The training and placement division of the college keeps in touch with employing
organizations and receives significant inputs on their trends and requirements. These
inputs are valuable to the departments for curriculum design and development.

Resource persons from industry, academics and research who are regularly invited to
conduct Seminars and Symposiums and Career Guidance Programmes, as well as
recruiters coming to the College also are valuable sources for curriculum design
inputs.

Experts from the industry and academic / research bodies are the members of the
Boards of Studies. The curriculum designed based on the several feedbacks received
is sent to the experts before the meeting. They make significant contributions to
curriculum design and renewal at the meeting.

1.1.4. How are the following aspects ensured through curriculum design and
development? Employability, Innovation, Research.

All the fields of study and the programmes within them offered in the College relate
to career-oriented, occupational / industrial / professional areas of good to fair
employment opportunity and personnel-demand.

Elective options highlight emerging areas of high demand. Practical component

courses etc. For instance, the PG Diploma in Robotics course is offered to PG
students in Computer Science. The Department is a center for NCAT exam
conducted by IIT, Delhi and students are encouraged to prepare for the examinations.
The Department has organized useful programmes (in association with the IIT’s and
IIM) such as the Android apps workshops. Students can choose projects of research
or application – orientation.

In Biotechnology, Microbiology and Biochemistry where there is scope for research

both academic and industry-based, elective groupings are offered to provide the
necessary research orientations and skills. Students interested in research can choose
research-based projects linked to the departmental research programme or in outside
research organizations.

Academic Council approval.

It is difficult to quantify percentage of courses which have undergone major revision.
We can say that in a five to six year period through incremental change, all courses
undergo major revision and every year any course undergoes 10% change.

Revision of the curriculum is a continuous process. The faculty members update their
syllabi based on the input they obtain from seminars, conferences / workshops etc,
they attended, syllabuses of leading institutions, new text book contents etc, Feedback
is also received from the students, alumni regarding the academic shortcomings,
Opinions and suggestions from Industry are also gathered.

The Commerce department uses the inputs obtained from the various bodies (CII,
ICWAI, CA. ACCA. ACS. etc.,) in its discussions at the informal Boards of Studies
meetings at the department.

1.4.3 Specify the mechanism through which alumni, employers, industry experts and
community give feedback on curriculum enrichment and the extent to which it is
made use of.

Formal sources of curricula feedback include industry representatives, visiting

academics, and alumni representatives in the Boards of Studies. The rest of the
feedback comes from parents visiting their wards, and from insights gathered by
teachers during speciality interactions and outreach and community service activities.
Employer opinions are gathered at the time of campus placement and out of campus
recruitment sessions. Journal and specialized media articles yield valuable
information on employment trends and needs. MoU tie-ups also are a valuable source
of industry / employer view points, as are interactions of faculty with industry.
During Alumni Meets and Graduation Day celebrations, the alumni interact with the
faculty and suggest measures for improvement.

When prospective employers liaise with the Placement and Training Cell, crucial
inputs about their skill expectations from students and their experiences with alumni
already working with them are received. Discussions on curriculum take place when
academics visit the College for participation in Symposia / Seminars/ Conferences /
Workshop / Guest Lectures. Stakeholders like alumni, employers, industry experts
and community are inducted in the Board of Studies and Academic Council to offer
contributions to enrich the curriculum.

a. Alumni
Several alumni members are entrepreneurs and many hold management
Positions at leading industries/organization in national and international
level. Their inputs are used by the department as the link between the
department and its industry partners. Faculty conducts informal conversation to
elicit feedback about the relevance of the course contents and brought to the
notice of Board of Studies concerned and Academic Council for further
consideration. The Alumni are also members of Board of Studies; their direct
feedback is also obtained during BOS meetings.

b. Employers / Industries
Experts from industry / professionals serve on the Boards of Studies and the
Academic Council. There are other industry interactions as well. The faculty and
students frequently visit Industries, banks and other business establishments and
participate in out station seminars organized by the College.

c. Community
The College encourages frequent visit by the parents during their wards'
course of study. Input from parents provides general feedback about the
related curricular/co-curricular activities.

Communication:
Reasons for increase in demand

 B.Sc Visual Communication and MJMC is a skill-oriented course where students

have an opportunity to get trained in their area of interest. They have the opportunity
to explore various areas like Multimedia, Graphics and Animation, Journalism,
Broadcast Media(TV& Radio - News Production, Programme Making, Anchoring),
Advertising(Creative services, Media Planning and Media Management), Public
relations, Photography, Event Management, Film-Making (Production, Editing
&Acting), Visual Effects, Digital Media(Internet and Social Media, Web-Content
Development), Marketing and Research. These factors play a major role in making
this course as a much sought after one in the educational arena.

 This course has scope to harness students creativity and they have a free hand in
choosing their area of interest depending on their ability.

2.1.7. Was there an instance of the College discontinuing a programme during last four
years? If yes, indicate the reasons.

Students have not been admitted since 2010 onwards in M Sc in Bioinformatics and
2009 onwards in Post Graduate diploma in Bioinformatics, Students have not been
admitted since 2008 for B.Sc Microbiology and since 2012 for M.Sc Microbiology.
The same is the case with BSc and MSc Biochemistry.

This was necessitated by lack of demand.

Lack of ready and attractive employment opportunities and the comparatively higher
cost of education for these courses in quality institutions have been the reasons for the
poor demand.

As GRDIM attracts considerable chunk of student’s with business background and

students with entrepreneurial inclination, it offers PG Diploma in Entrepreneurship
Development. This diploma can be pursued along with MBA. The students draw
significant value from this diploma, as it combines live projects, face to face with
successful entrepreneurs and rigorous curriculum structure.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the College plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation
schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan and evaluation blue print, etc.)

Academic Calendar – At the end of the year, the Heads of the Departments prepare
the academic calendar for both the odd and even semesters of the coming year to
accommodate the processes of teaching-learning of theory and practical subjects,
examination schedules and co-curricular and extracurricular activities. The reopening
and closing dates and durations of vacation and recesses are also fixed. Even stock
verification dates are fixed. 90 contact days per semester are ensured (excluding end
of term (semester) exam period, but including mid-term test days).

Teaching Plan - The faculty members prepare lesson plans in advance for each of the
subjects they teach, which contains the overall objective of subject, brief scope and
outline of the course content to be covered in each contact period, points to be made,
aids to be used etc. Additional topics to be discussed, industrial visits, seminars
planned, revision sessions, tests etc. are indicated at appropriate points in the lesson
plan sequence. The plan also provides space for post-transaction observations on how
the class was actually transacted.

Evaluation - The evaluation system consists of two parts: Continuous assessment and
Term end examination. Midterm tests, model examination, MCQ, attendance,

C11
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

assignments, and seminars carry credit in the continuous assessment. Term end
examination forms the final assessment. The dates of the tests and examinations are
finalized and included in the calendar schedules.

In the beginning of the semester the allocations of individual work load, class time–
table, and schedules and proposals for conducting various programmes, events,
educational tours and industrial visits are submitted by the HODs to and duly
approved by the Principal.

2.3.2 Does the College provide course outlines and course schedules prior to the
commencement of the academic session? If yes, how is the effectiveness of the
process ensured?

The calendar, time table and course outlines (syllabus and list of text books) with the
unit-wise distribution of the content and number of hours allotted are provided to the
students. The progress and adherence to the time table and lesson plans is monitored
by the HODs and reviewed at HODs meetings.

At the beginning of each semester, as pointed out earlier a lesson plans and practical
schedules for the entire semester is prepared, for every course. This lesson plan is
submitted to the HOD and Principal for approval. Entries are made about the
transaction of each unit in the lesson plan, and the status of transaction is checked by
the HOD’s and revisions are made advised in the light of class committee feedback or
as needed for improvement.

2.3.3 What are the courses, which predominantly follow the lecture method? Apart
from classroom interactions, what are the other methods of learning experiences
provided to students?

 Although the chalk and talk lecture method with some interactive aspects mixed in
is predominant, it constitutes only 60 to 80% of the teaching-learning. All the
courses have considerable practical practice oriented contents –20% in Commerce
and BBA, 30% in Sciences and nearly 50% in Visual Communication. Practical
work in laboratories and computer centres, guided problem-solving in tutorials,
mini-projects and projects constitute 20-40% of the formal learning experience.
Considerable self-learning takes place in the term papers and projects.

 Increasing use is being made by many teachers of multimedia, (LCD presentation,

VCDs) and students’ seminars supplemented by teachers’ comments, class
discussions with quizzes interposed appropriately, etc.
 Outstation seminars, guest lectures, case studies, games are organized in certain
programmes.
 Video conferencing and webinar are being tried. Digital library access, E-Book
repository facilities are provided for self-study.

C12
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

 E-learning is included in the course work of II, III UG and PG students. Subject
material is uploaded by the respective staff and assignments are given and
evaluated through the intranet.
 Online demonstration, and Virtual cell (using animated presentation) are also used
for some subjects.

 Summer internship and project work are part of the curricula of most courses.

Some additional teaching-learning modes used in the English courses are:

Presentations by student panels from the class, Debate (informal) on current issues,

Library research on topics or issues, Drama role playing., Use of dramatization, skits,
plays, Use of songs, film clips and recordings.

2.3.4. How is ‘learning’ made more student-centric? Give a list of participatory

learning activities adopted by the faculty that contribute to holistic development
and improved student learning, besides facilitating life-long learning and
knowledge management.

The teachers are deeply conscious of the fact that education is not merely about
transmitting a body of knowledge, but to make that process meaningful by helping
students to develop values, proper perceptions, abilities to use the knowledge to build
a career and keep learning themselves. They address the task by 1. curricular
strategies requiring and enabling considerable self-learning and application 2) making
students aware of the knowledge-to-work relationship in industry and the outside
world through relevant experiences.

The incorporation in the curricular transaction of considerable practice-oriented, self-

learning oriented contents like laboratory work, open-ended practicals, computer
sessions, problem-solving tutorials, projects (mini & major) term papers, and
internships, was discussed in the earlier question. The other strategies to enhance the
scope and quality of the holistic learning experience are detailed below:

Assignments carry credit in continuous assessment and are an incentive and aid to
self-learning. Awareness and exposure to opportunities in industry, trends in
knowledge development, technology and applications, and of the skills needed,
valued and emerging in the world of work are provided by expert interactions,
industry visits, internship, seminars and conferences participation, expos and displays.
Field work, boot camp, role play sessions, and simulation study to provide hands-on
learning experiences and involvement are used by the departments such as
Management and Commerce in appropriate subject areas.

Student-centric learning activities in the Management and Commerce programmed

additionally include Window Displays (to collect, and organize in a coherent way

C13
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

information on all aspects related to or to explain an issue or technology), Road

shows, Finance, Marketing and HR games, etc.
For Communication students the additional student–centric learning activities are
staging street theatre, planning and executing advertising and PR campaigns,
analyzing media content producing video documentaries, etc.

In the English department the additional learner–centered activities include:

Brainstorming, Community surveys, Describing visual images, Mock interviews,
Participatory discussions etc.

2.3.5. What is the College policy on inviting experts / people of eminence to provide
lectures / seminars for students?

Experts are one of the windows to the world of emerging knowledge and of
developments in the productive application of knowledge. They convey to the faculty
and students a sense of the relevance to life and dynamic nature of knowledge, and of
the changing industrial practices and demands. Their interaction primes the students
and motivates them in their pursuits and helps faculty in updatement. People of
eminence also provide valuable perspectives for life and endeavors. The College
encourages faculty and students to invite experts for guest lectures and to speak at
national /international seminars, conferences, workshops etc. A good number of such
events are organized by all the departments. Funds are available for the purpose, and
student contributions supplement the resources.
Since, there are limitations to the availability of eminent experts and industry leaders,
outstation seminars in places like Mumbai and Delhi are also organized, though less
frequently, by departments like Management and Commerce. The National
Academies of Science have been helpful in arranging expert lecture programmes on
cutting edge developing areas.

2.3.6. What are the latest technologies and facilities used by the faculty for effective
teaching? Ex: Virtual laboratories, e-learning, open educational resources,
mobile education, etc.
E-teaching and E-learning have been enabled at the College.

members to access e-resources and make use of open source materials available
in the net.
 Online e-learning materials are posted in the college website by every teacher
and are open to students on 24 X 7 basis.
 Video conferencing facility is used for discussions with prominent personalities.

As staff members are conversant with multimedia systems such as video and power-
point, and make optimal use of them in their teaching of particular concepts or
processes needing visual aids. A computerized Finance Lab has been set up for the
Management department Learning material, syllabus, and instructions are passed on
via email and Whatsapp by some teachers. Face book groups (batch wise) have been
created for constant information-and knowledge-sharing between faculty and
C14
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

students. A considerable proportion of the lectures in the Biotechnology programme

are delivered using PowerPoint, slides, videos, and animation videos. Students in
many courses submit assignments as soft copies, receive learning materials given as
e-books and share important study materials posted in the group mail.

E-Learning: An active e-learning tool known as career strokes deployed by the

ICICI bank is implemented in the Commerce and International Business department
for the training of students. It comprises high-end software packages in bank related
learning. INFLIBNET, IEEE transactions and EBSCO are available to access the e-
resources.

2.3.7. Is there a provision for the services of counselors / mentors/ advisors for each
class or group of students for academic, personal and psycho-socio guidance? If
yes, give details of the process and the number of students who have benefitted.

A member of faculty is assigned to each class or group of students to be a mentor and

a counselor. The purpose is to create a closer rapport between the students and the
faculty and to provide guidance to students in their academic and non-academic
problems. The tutors monitor the students’ progress, give appropriate guidance and
are available for discussing students’ academic and personal problems and help them
to solve .

The Tutor keeps track of matters regarding the Wards’ academic performance,
progress in the completion of academic requirements, and health problems and
grievances, if any. Details of the students’ progress and attainments in continuous
assessment tests, attendance and by way of participation in cocurricular and corporate
activities are maintained by the Tutor. The Tutor also meets and interacts with the
parents/guardians of their wards on issues related to academics, and other aspects of
concern. When need arises, the subject teachers and principal confer with the
concerned tutor on matters related to any student. Tutor ward meetings take place
frequently. Matters requiring psychological / professional counseling are referred to
the college counseling centre / professionals.

2.3.8. Are there any innovative teaching approaches/methods/ practices adopted/put to

use by the faculty during the last four years? If yes, did they improve the
learning? What methods were used to evaluate the impact of such practices?
What are the efforts made by the institution in giving the faculty due recognition
for innovation in teaching?

All the departments and faculty have endeavoured on a continual basis, over the last
several years, to evolve a number of teaching methods appropriate to each of their
different subjects / components / sub-elements of the curricular and developmental
inputs, so as to best achieve the objectives of each, that is to maximize the learning /
holistic development outcome. The innovations have comprised the adoption and
utilization of new technologies, tools and e-resources as well as integrated self-
learning and development strategies. The extent and kind of innovation has varied

C15
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

across courses and subjects / components. Teachers are rewarded for innovations by
allocating a part of the variable salary increment for contributions in this regard.

Judging from the discipline and attention in the classes, the participation and
motivation for assigned work, tasks and examination performance and the levels of
project work, the teaching innovations have had a great impact on real-learning.

From the ratings on a 5 point scale given to various aspects of teaching of subject,
various averaged charts are prepared viz. over all course rating, subject ratings,
teacher ratings etc. One such chart is shown above for illustration, aggregated over a
period of several years.

The results of this assessment on a 5 point scale are consolidated and analyzed in
terms of the strengths and weaknesses of the teacher and is reviewed by the head of
the department with the individual teachers. Observations are offered, which include
appreciation and advice and suggestions for growth and improvement.

The faculty themselves also analyse the opinions and identify aspects for
improvement. The feedback is taken seriously by the teachers and the administration
and there is visible improvement in teacher quality and the teaching- learning process

2.3.13. Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the
planned time frame and calendar? If yes elaborate on the challenges encountered
and the institutional approaches to overcome these.

Thanks to the systematic advance planning of the Calendar and the lesson plans, there
are generally no hiccups. Except in the case of loss of working days, caused by any
natural calamities, the curriculum plan goes as per schedule. To make up for loss of
time due to any unavaoidable disruptions additional classes are conducted on third
Saturdays and extra teaching hours may also be scheduled during weekdays.

Individualized (subject wise) semester lesson plans and uptodate execution details are
properly maintained by the faculty members. Monitoring of the coverage of syllabus
is done by the Principal and HOD. These measures enable complete coverage of the
syllabuses within the allotted time.

To provide for the unusually large number of student do-it-yourself and creative / self
learning / exposure events, the College provides for more than 100 contact days a
semester, against the stipulated 90 days and any contingency can thus be
handled. When a staff member has to take casual leave, arrangements are
made with other members of faculty to engage the period. In the event of
larger duration of absence of any teacher, the management appoints a
substitute so that the curriculum is completed within the stipulated time.

2.3.14. How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning process?

The Library is the hub of information and it is the treasure-house of knowledge. It is

the source of information and knowledge. It is the nucleus of academic pursuits,
providing the primary resource for updatement and mastery for teachers and the staple
for students. The College library is spread in 3 locations: the Main Library, the
Management Block Library and the Commerce Block library. Each Department has
its own updated collection of specialized texts and materials for the use of the faculty
and students.

The library supports the research activity of faculty and P.G. students and the teachers
select the books and references to be purchased for periodic updatement and
augmentation. The faculty member-in-charge (the Library Committee convener) of
the library coordinates this activity. Periodic book exhibits of new titles are
periodically arranged for faculty to identify desirable acquisitions.

Faculty members are given 10 Library cards and UG students, PG students and
Research Scholars can borrow 3,4, and 5 books respectively. The English department
ensures that their students go to the library and use the resources at sessions
exclusively arranged for them at specified hours.

Students are allowed and asked to make use of the libraries during their free time to
enhance reading habits. The open access system is followed and i-GATE register is
maintained under the supervision of the librarian. Members have access to
INFLIBNET. Staff members provide reading lists to the learners to augment
teaching learning.

2.3.15. How does the institution continuously monitor, evaluate and report on the
quality of teaching, teaching methods used, classroom environments and the
effect on student performance.
The HOD’s and Principal go on rounds every day to monitor the class activities and
the functioning of facilities. They receive information from i) class committee

meeting reports ii) tutor reports and feedback iii) class records of teachers and their
lesson plans with progress are submitted periodically iv) analysis of midterm test
records v) analysis of semester exam results and performance vi) student evaluation
forms on teachers vii) teacher self-evaluation and viii) student feedback on each
subject taught. Periodic HODs meetings (with the Principal) discuss all matters
needing attention and individual faculty also discuss issues with the Principal. There
is a student suggestions / complaints box, inputs wherein are frequently scrutinized
by the Principal for necessary action. ISO related audits also reveal aspects needing
improvement / analysis.

Short-falls, drawbacks, ineffectiveness, weaknesses revealed by the various

feedbacks are discussed at HOD meetings and lead to improvement action - advice
to teachers, facilitation of need-based training, quality improvement workshops on
specific aspects, time table readjustments, remedial programmes and reinforcement
sessions, strengthening of facilities etc.

2.4.12. How often does the College organize academic development programmes for its
faculty, leading to enrichment of teaching-learning process? (Curriculum
Development, Teaching-Learning Methods, Examination Reforms, Content /
Knowledge Management / Faculty Development Programmes)

Curriculum Development: Curriculum development is a continual activity in the

Departments of the College with consolidation of ideas and proposals taking place at the
Boards of Studies Meeting. Programmes to appraise faculty of the intricacies and
methodology of Curriculum Development are conducted occasionally. (once in one or two
years).
Workshops / Seminars on teaching-learning methods are organized about once a year.
Faculty Development Programmes are organized about once a year or often. Being
autonomous, thinking about evaluation reforms is continuous. Specialized workshops /

C41
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

seminars on evaluation reforms and developments are conducted occasionally – once a year
or once in 2 years.

2.4.13. What are the teaching innovations made during the last five years? How are
innovations rewarded?
All the departments and faculty have endeavoured on a continual basis, over the last
several years, to evolve a number of teaching methods appropriate to each of their
different subjects / components / sub-elements of the curricular and developmental
inputs, so as to best achieve the objectives of each, that is to maximize the learning /
holistic development outcome. The innovations have comprised the adoption and
utilization of new technologies, tools and e-resources as well as integrated self-
learning and development strategies. The extent and kind of innovation has varied
across courses and subjects / components. Teachers are rewarded for innovations by
allocating a part of the variable salary increment for contributions in this regard.

Judging from the discipline and attention in the classes, the participation and
motivation for assigned work, tasks and examination performance and the levels of
project work, the teaching innovations have had a great impact on real-learning.

Department-wise the following are some of the innovative approaches / practices

increasingly employed:

Computer Science:
E-learning, online quizzes using multiple choice
Questions, In house projects, skill development programmes, displaying talents in
Technical Exhibition, Gadgets displays, creating technical movies, technical talk, Peer
group discussions, Android training programme, poster presentations.

Management:
Workshops, learning diary, Online Courses like Career Strokes, Business analytics,
Presentations, Management games, Simulation exercises, Debate, Quiz, Pitch fest,
Interactions and Role-play and the learning activities under various functional area
clubs (Marketing, finance and HR) dovetailed to the teaching programme.

Communication:
Face book groups have been created to facilitate discussions. Group work in research,
data collection and analysis and application has been used in some subjects. Major
learn-by-doing activities like organizing campaigns, street-theatres, producing short
films, documentaries, TV commercials etc., are extensively used.
Biotechnology:
Consistent with the developing nature of Biotechnology, the biotechnology
department extensively uses the experiment-based learning where topics are explained
with the aid of a visual tool created by using the lab equipment or the virtual
laboratory. The multimedia class rooms that have audio and video system, internet

C42
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

connectivity (Wi-Fi system), open source materials, and e-learning are used by the
faculty for effective teaching. A Journal club is organized to push students to update
themselves on various breakthroughs and findings in the field of biosciences. Brain-
storming sessions are conducted. All these activities count for continuous assessment.

Bioinformatics:
The computer–based nature of the discipline has allowed the maximum use of e-
teaching, e-learning and online resources. Each topic in the subject is explained using
a combo of online, offline and academic licensed tools and software in the laboratory.

Biochemistry:
The teaching of lab-oriented subjects is made more meaningful by its linkage to
research findings and case-studies, and by exposure to related practice through
hospital and industrial visits and by providing live demonstrations.

Commerce:

Yes. One of the best practices of the college is promoting innovative teaching
approaches. Besides the lecture method, the teachers use the following methods:
 Interactive method:
Case study, Role playing, CEO Talk, Group works, Seminars, Debate,
Business Games and Group Discussions are praciced.
 Project based Learning:
A mandatory component for all UG and PG programmes.
 Computer Based Learning:
As the departments have well developed e-content for all courses,
knowledge flow to the learners is facilitated. Most classrooms are fitted with LCD
projectors and used for interactive sessions, Online learning, and power point
presentations. Well-equipped language laboratories and audiovisual rooms are put
to effective use.
The language lab is used to enhance communication skills, a much needed
ability for placement. These rooms with computer facilities are extensively used
by different departments. The Central Library has an impressive collection of
educational CDs to supplement class room teaching.

 Peer teaching-learning and group learning is encouraged.

 Debate and role play activities are practiced by the discipline of Arts.
 Team Building Activities are practiced by the Management disciplines.

Computer-assisted Learning:
The department has well developed e-content for all courses, good computer
facilities, classrooms fitted with LCD projectors, educational CD Library etc. which are
effectively used.

2.4.14. Does the College have a mechanism to encourage

∗ Mobility of faculty between institutions for teaching?

∗ Faculty exchange programmes with national and international bodies?

If yes, how have these schemes helped in enriching quality of the faculty?
Such a scheme has not been undertaken.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1. How does the College ensure that all the stakeholders are aware of the
evaluation processes that are operative?

The evaluation process includes Continuous Assessment for 40% of marks for PG and 25%
for UG and Semester examination for 60% of marks (PG) and 75% (UG). The current
system of Central Valuation has been in practice for many years. For P.G. there is double
valuation by the external and the internal examiners and for M.Phil – Single evaluation by the
Bharathiar University.

 The evaluation process details are published in the College calendar given to students
and in the College Website. During the induction / orientation meeting all the fresh
students and parents are informed of the system.
 The tentative schedule for internal test and dates of submission of assignments are
included in the College calendar. Students are informed well in advance.
 The final dates are decided at HOD’s meetings well ahead and the detailed time-table
for internal test and semester examination is displayed on the notice board and
informed through the tutors as well.
 In the final semester the students are informed about the provision and schedule of the
special supplementary semester examination.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms initiated by the College and to what extent
have they been implemented in the College? Cite a few examples which have
positively impacted the evaluation management system?

Online examination has been introduced for mid-term tests from the year 2011 onwards,
and also for term-end examinations in certain subjects like General Awareness, and
Environment Awareness.

A version of the Choice based Credit System was introduced in the year 2010. The
evaluation has two components. They are Continuous Assessment as well as TEE
(Semester) Examinations. There is no continuous assessment for non major subjects.

C44
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

There is flexibility for the departments to choose continuous assessment components,

suitable to their subject / courses, Continuous Assessment Marks awarded by the faculty
for various subjects / components are reviewed by the HOD’s and uploaded through
Edumanage software for error free import at the Controller of Examinations Office.

A student who fails in only one paper in the final Semester of the course is allowed to
write the Supplementary Examination conducted within a month of the publication of
results, and the results of the Supplementary Examination are declared within ten days.
A coding and decoding system of answer scripts and continuation sheets was
implemented from the Semester Examinations of April 2013.
The examination transactions are computerized to cover: Data entry of Examination
Applications, Students progress-related data, Examination scheduling, seating
arrangement, Attendance Register, Central Valuation work, Tabulation, Board
Meeting documents, preparation of course-wise results, upload of the Semester
Examination results in the College website, preparation of Marks Sheets, Revaluation
and Supplementary examination results.
Answer papers with security features like watermarked College logo with serial
numbers are issued to the students. Marks sheets issued to UG, PG and M.Phil students
have security features since 2009.

Arrear examinations are conducted on weekends through the semester so that students
can clear arrears and concentrate better on their current semester studies.

Term End Examinations are completed within a span of 15 days. Results are published
in the website within 15 days from the last date of examination.

2.5.3 What measures have been taken by the institution for continuous evaluation of
students and ensuring their progress and improved performance?

The continuous assessment system has been discussed in the previous question. The
system has two benefits. It keeps the student focused on his learning and studies and
gives him a feed back of his weaknesses. For the teachers it provides a tool of
assessment and a feedback, motivating remedial action directed to help deficient
students, or to improve the teaching appropriately.

As the students are aware that they are being evaluated continuously, good
attendance and participation in the class is ensured. Two term tests and frequent class
tests are conducted in a phased manner per semester along with the administration of
other assessment components such as assignments and a seminar, all of which are
mandatory and form the basis for Continuous Assessment (CA) marks. The model
test is conducted on the same pattern as the Term End Examination to facilitate
preparation for the semester examinations.

C45
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

 Only the students with special reasons are exempted to prescribed extents
from class attendance but they have to pay condonation fee for shortage of
attendance. There is no retest for the students who absent themselves from C.A.
tests without proper exemption. C.A. is not repeated unless a semester course is
repeated.

2.5.4 What percentage of marks is earmarked for continuous internal assessment?

Indicate the mechanisms strategized to ensure rigor of the internal assessment
process?

Proportion of continuous assessment to Term End Examination

differs between the UG & PG courses and the components may be different for
different kinds of subjects. The following are the general patterns.
UG courses: Continuous Assessment 25 marks, Term End Exam 75 marks out of 100
marks for a theory subject.
For illustration in UG Computer Science course the break-up for theory subject is:
Attendance :5
Midterm test :5
Model exam :5
MCQ : 5 (Multiple choice question test)
Assignment :5
For PG courses: Continuous Assessment carries 40 marks and Term End Exam 60
marks out of a total 100 marks
The breakup of continuous assessment marks is as follows in P.G.
Computer Science courses:, for illustration is:
Attendance :5
Midterm test :5
Model Exam :5
MCQ :5
Assignment :5
Term paper :5
Notes :5
Seminar :5

There is no separate passing minimum in the continuous assessment, although very

poor performance may obviously affect the progress for writing the semester exams.

The schedule of continuous assessment examinations are informed to the students in
the college calendar at the commencement of the academic year. The marks of the
students are sent to their parents through SMS.

The mid-term tests are conducted with rigorous invigilation on pre fixed schedule.
Faculty members are aware that the Continuous Assessment marks are i) made known
to students to make them appealable ii) subject to scrutiny by HOD’s and Principal to
look for lack of authenticity iii) compared with Term End Examination performance
to look for gross inconsistency. Delays in posting C.A. scores are not allowed. For
these reasons there is rigor in the system.

2.5.5 Does the College adhere to the declared examination schedules? If not, what
measures have been taken to address the delay?
Yes, the college has always adhered and been able to adhere to the
declared examination schedules.

Examination schedules are decided before the commencement of the academic year
and the College adheres strictly to the declared examination schedules unless there is
an emergency due to unexpected holidays or postponements declared by the
government.

2.5.9 What efforts are made by the College to streamline the operations at the Office
of the Controller of Examinations? Mention any significant efforts which have
improved process and functioning of the examination division/section?

The Controller of Examinations functions with complete autonomy. The working is

streamlined to ensure efficiency, maintain confidentiality, avoid mixmix-up, avoid
leakage, and malpractices. Much of its work is computerized, stationery are
watermarked, question paper proof correction work does not involve teachers, mark

department. The examinations
inations schedules and other informations are made available to

C49
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

the students through the departments and the college website. The results of the Term
End Examinations are declared thro’ the college website. The results of the students
who have completed their degree is forwarded to the Bharathiar University for issuing
necessary degrees / diplomas.

2.5.10 What is the mechanism for redressal of grievances with reference to

evaluation?

There is transparency in earning continuous internal assessment marks and the tally
is announced by the department and submitted to the Controller of Examinations
office. If the students need any clarifications, they approach the department heads,
and the Principal if necessary.

In the Term End Examination of the UG courses, central valuation with mostly
external examiners is adopted . For PG courses- central valuation is done. It is a
double evaluation with two examiners one external and the other internal and these
two valuations takes place on two different dates. There is a provision for
revaluation and supply of photostat copy of the answer script for UG students who
apply for the same. Common grievances about question papers are pre-empted by
getting faculty comments on all question papers at the time of the examination itself
and taking suitable corrective/moderating action.

In the PG evaluation there is no revaluation in view of the double valuation. When

there is large discrepancy, it goes for a third valuation. Supplementary exam is
conducted after one month of the publication of the result for the final year students
who fail in one subject. The date of supplementary examination is published in the
college website at the time of publication of results

Students can apply for revaluation and photo-copies of answer scripts after the
declaration of results by the COE.

The marks of all the assessment / examinations conducted are given to the students
thro’ SMS. Students and parents have a specific login and usernames and
passwords for viewing the information, thus ensuring confidentiality. The
undergraduate students have an option to see their valued answer scripts of TEE
after evaluation and they can also opt for revaluation if needed.

2.6. Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the College have clearly stated learning outcomes for its programmes? If
yes, give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

For the programmes as a whole the learning outcome expected is subject competence,
career-oriented skills, confidence, soft skills and superior employment readiness.
From the very beginning, students and faculty are well aware of these objectives. As

C50
 CRITERION II TEACHING-
LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

for the learning outcomes of discrete course contents, these are explicitly stated while
curricula and syllabi are prepared and considered at the Boards of Studies and
Academic Council. Staff members are involved in the process and are reminded of
these during general staff meetings held before the academic year. A copy of the
course content with the learning outcomes is made available to the student, and the
outcomes are clearly explained to the students by the individual faculty in respect of
their subjects.

The achievement of expected outcome, is facilitated through the several industry

interactions, add-on inputs, problem-solving learning exposures, projects etc. that the
students go through.

Objectives of the each subject is specified in the syllabuses of all courses.

2.6.2 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning
outcomes?

The curriculum and teaching-learning methodology and the related activities are
carefully designed to inculcate the academic base and engender the knowledge and
skills and the application and synthesis abilities.

The syllabuses of components have objectives reflecting these ends. Their

achievement is measurable by a carefully designed assessment system. Core
academic achievement is measurable by assignments, mid-term tests, term end
examinations. The results are analysed to devise remedial measures. The slow
learners are identified and their needs taken care of by the tutors. The student-centric
teaching and learning method and its component activities and requirements ensure
the achievement of additional learning and simultaneously measure its achievement.
Project work thus is a great learning tool in synthesis and application of knowledge
and provides its own measure the achievement of overall competence.

Other skill-developing and feedback providing activities are participation and

performance in competitions, inside and outside the campus, Debates, Group
discussion, Role play, Management games, Seminars. The continuous assessment also
has elements to measure the achievement of skills and abilities through these
activities.

Student feedback at the end of semesters about each subject and its teaching, and the
placement performance of students in the job market are also revealing indices of the
achievement of major learning outcomes.

2.6.3 How does the institution collect and analyse data on student learning outcomes
and use it for overcoming barriers of learning?

Achievement of specific measurable / observable learning outcomes is kept

monitored through feedbacks. The tutor ward meetings are arranged at the class

LEARNING AND
EVALUATION

committee level to overcome the obstacles to learning. Result analysis provides

information on over-all effectiveness of courses. Such information motivates and
enables corrective action–curricular change, teaching schedule modification, remedial
attention, etc.

Whenever assessment and other feedback, indicate deficiency in achieving the

learning outcome. Whenever academic problems are identified the student is helped
by the department with remedial coaching, peer teaching, individualized academic
advising and opportunities for writing improvement tests and Supplementary
examinations. Parents/guardians are kept informed about the academic performance
of their wards so that they can extend support at home. Barriers of learning are thus
identified and steps to overcome them are taken. Tutor wards interaction help to get to
the bottom of other difficulties of the students. Every semester feedbacks are received
from the tutors, students, and also from the Head of the departments and these are
analyzed and department-wise planning is done to improve the quality of the
education and the support conditions.

3.1.2. What is the policy of the College to promote research culture

in the College?

The College is completely self-financing and receives no regular external aid

for teaching or research. It cannot afford to forget that it is primarily a
teaching institution preparing UG’s and PG’s for professions and occupations
in knowledgebased areas. None-the-less, the College is keenly interested and
active in promoting a culture of research among its faculty so that they can
remain active and up-to-date so that their teaching conveys the
purposefulness, the application potential and the growing nature of
knowledge. The College is aware that its good post graduate laboratories and
computer and library facilities can support significant research and is willing
to make necessary additions. But the research project funding has to be
obtained mainly from funding agencies.
Faculty members are encouraged to take up MPhil and Ph.D. studies and are
given the laboratory and library facilities and assistance to visit other
laboratories, and spend time there.
Fee concession is given for staff pursuing M.Phil, and Ph.D programmes in
the college.Study leave and financial assistance are available for study
outside subject to certain conditions. The institution encourages the faculty to
act as journal editors, research paper reviewers, invited speakers, keynote
speakers, resource persons for refresher courses etc.
 The College has instituted MPhil. and Ph.D. programmes in all
departments and encourages its faculty to apply for and get recognition as
MPhil. / Ph.D supervisors, so that they can admit research scholars.
 The registration fee for faculty to attend conferences is paid and on-duty
leave provided by the College.
 A research forum has been formed at the College to provide a platform for
presentation of the research findings of research scholars and faculty.
 Suitable rewards are given to teachers who acquire Ph.D. and
M.Phil qualifications.
 Every year 20 candidates secure M.Phil. Degree from the Bharathiar
University through the college. A good proportion of the projects at the
P.G. level are research based.

3.1.4. What are the proactive mechanisms adopted by the College to

facilitate smooth implementation of research schemes/ projects?

There is no red tapeor procedural / hierarchical hassles to be gone through.

Full autonomy is given to the principal investigator to utilizethe grant funds, to

choose and appoint project investigators and field workers / assistants etc.
based on the norms of funding agencies.

The College is very supportive in allowing use of infrastructure, advancing

funds for sanctioned projects, providing seed money, timely release of funds
even when grant installments are delayed, timely auditing and arranging,
submission of utilization certificate to the funding authorities,etc.,

Post graduate students are assigned project work, so as to be of assistance in the

sanctioned project.

Faculty members who are pursuing M.Phil and Ph.D are given On-Duty
Leave to visit laboratories / libraries of other institutions/University for
specialized lab work,literature surveyand consultation.

3.1.5 How is interdisciplinary research promoted?

 Between/among different departments of the College and

 By collaboration with national/international institutes /
industries.

A considerable proportion of the research work done in the College is by its

nature interdisciplinary, since the fields of study at the College, Commerce,
Management, Computer Applications &Information Technology,
Biotechnology and Communication are themselves inter-disciplinary. Most of
the projects taken up involve social and public service, health, social technical
issues – environmental pollution abatement, commerce and business, I.T.
application in various domains etc. The School of Information Technology
supports interdisciplinary research by helping faculty from different disciplines
to take upprojects in their disciplines/ involving computer applications.
Computer Science faculty too take up interdisciplinary problems like
development of artificial intelligence techniques for psychiatric practice,
epidemiology monitoring by computer modeling etc. in collaboration with
different kinds of agencies / industries / business / institutions.

D7
 CRITERION III RESEARCH,
CONSULTANCY
AND EXTENSION

All the Biosciences departments like Biotechnology, Microbiology,

Biochemistry and Bioinformatics share the research labs, equipments,
chemicals, consumables and protocols etc, and they have a good interaction
with the computer science department.
Many of the projects have been those taken up in collaboration with institutions
of specialized services like:
 Krishna Assisted Reproduction and Endoscopy Center,Thrissur , and
the
 Center for Research in Assisted reproduction and Foetal
therapy,Thrissur.

In Commerce and Management research is industry / business related and

inherently interdisciplinary and applied.

Many of the microbiology research projects are interdisciplinary as they are

related to health, clinical, agricultural, food and environmental problems.

In Biochemistry the study of natural herbal extracts as curatives for various

diseases like cancer is an important avenue of research.

3.1.6 Enumerate the efforts of the College in attracting researchers of

eminence to visit the campus and interact with teachers and students?

Through its large goodwill network of College students, alumni, and parents,
the College is able to get in touch with eminent personalities including
researchers visiting the region and efforts are invariably made to invite them to
the campus to talk to the faculty and students. Collaborative and internship /
project work linkages, built up over the years also provides the College
valuable contacts with experts and researchers, who are sympathetic to requests
for visits. Advantage is taken of the proactive outreach of national institutions
and organizations like the National Science Academies to have them conduct
research-related programmes at the campus. The College’s fund allocations to
faculty development and research support, and UGC and other seminar and
summer school grants also enable it to invite experts for visits.

3.1.7 What percentages of faculty have utilized sabbatical leave for

research activities? How has the provision contributed to the
research quality and culture of the College?

The sabbatical system does not exist in the College. However, several faculty
members have gone for training / specialized programmes to advanced
institutions like IIT., IIM’s and Multimedia University, Malysia.

3.5 Consultancy

3.5.1. What is the stated policy of the College for structured

consultancy? List a few important consultancy services undertaken by
the College.
The College, being primarily a UG and PG teaching institution with a
significant auxiliary and supportive research programme, does not have too
much of faculty time to spare for promoting consultancy as an independent
resource generating / income producing ativity. However, it likes to extend as
much expert help as it can to the community / industry / enterprises around, and
simultaneously enrich its teaching and academic work, provide creative
motivation to students and teachers through the opportunity consultancy gives
for problem-solving, application of knowledge, and meaningful projects.
Consultancy also is valuable to promote valuable industry linkages. If some
money is generated, it is welcome and is mostly given to the faculty after
deducting expenses. Some of the consultancy takes the form of training in
sophisticated computational and laboratory techniques for students and
researchers from outside, and provision of lab facilities for their research.

Falling in this type of consultancy are the training / laboraty skill development /
research support-activities of the Biosciences department such as:
 Summer training projects for graduate students from across the country,
Training / workshops in advanced techniques, Consultancy for designing
protocols for M.Phil and Ph.D in the area of Recombinant DNA
Technology, Downstream processing, DNA finger printing, Environmental
and Microbial Biotechnology, immunology and Plant Tissue Culture.
Providing microbial culture to perform antimicrobial assays to students
from non-line science departments.Research students from other

Incubator, Inverted microscope and Freeze dryer in the department for
their research under the guidance of its faculty.

The department of Commerce offers specialized inputs for the stuents of the
ICWA. Community and industry-oriented cosultancy of the Computer Science
Department includes computerization of activities for schools / Colleges,
quality improvement of business process for small / medium industry and
service institutions (applying IT and modern management, testing,
development of products etc.

3.5.2. What is the mode of publicizing the expertise of the College for
consultancy services? Mention the departments from whom
consultancy was sought.

A folder has been prepared listing the expertise and facilities available and the
consultancy services offered and is widely circulated by the departments. The
website also contains these details. The departments have been given the
responsibility to create the consultancy linkages.
For instance, the department of Commerceis a member of the Confederation of
Indian Industry (CII) and has linkages with ICICI Bank, Brand.com and Career
stroke. This provides several kinds of opportunities including for consultancy.
The Computer Science and Biotech departments too have had much to offer.

3.5.3. How does the College encourage the faculty to utilize the
expertise for consultancy services?
The college has given a free hand to the departments and the faculty members
to involve in consultancy and to decide its scope and scheduling. More time
and resource availability makes vacations ideal for consultancy work. Student
projects are sometimes used as consultancy vehicles. In this context, the
students are encouraged to identify institutions and areas where consultancy
services would be welcome.

3.5.4. List the broad areas of consultancy services provided by the college
and the revenue generated during the last four years.

Biotechnology:
The following are the broad areas of consultancy services provided by the
department:

3.6.6 Reflecting on objectives and expected outcomes of the

extension activities organized by the College, comment on how they
complement students’ academic learning experience and specify the
values and skills inculcated?

The extension activities make a positive contribution to awareness generation,

health improvement, economic improvement and empowerment of the poor,
rural folk, women and such deprived / backward sections. The activities
transfer viable rural friendly and productivity–improving and income
generating technology like composting, vermiculture, silk worm rearing,
mushroom cultivation, and processing and packaging, Tapioca products etc.

As far as students are concerned, apart from the philanthropic satisfaction, they
gain a realistic and more inclusive perception of society and its various
inequalities and injustices, and learn that they could and should contribute their
energy and resources to skill development, elimination of evils and disabilities,
and to promoting social justice. They get organizational and leadership skills,
and inculcate deeper empathy with fellow beings.

3.7 Collaboration

3.7.1. How has the College’s collaboration with other agencies

impacted the visibility, identity and diversity of activities on the
campus? To what extent has the College benefitted academically and
financially because of collaborations?

Collaboration in the sense of offering joint programmes has not been much of
an option, as the programmes at the College are University affiliated degree,
PG and research programmes with their prescribed set patterns of studies and
examinations. Collaboration has generally taken the shape of mutual sharing of
resources between an industry / enterprise and the College. This has been
helpful to the College in getting access to industry expertise, projects and
internships towards enhancing the learning experience of students, and in
getting probem for consultancy and research. Industry linkages have also
helped to enrich curriculum renewal. Collaboration with advanced institutions
have helped access to rare and sophisticated research facilties.

There have also been other more limited kinds of collaboration where the
collaborator is a specialized agency or professional body which sets up a
program of on-line add-on/ career oriented input or a centre for training for
professional institution membership. Here the College gets some concessional
terms for the services provided. Some examples are furnished below:

Management:
 GRDIM has collaboration with Pearson Publication Ltd to avail of the
“Learning Management System” through which students can access
the on line course material for their subjects.

 Career strokes.com has a MoU with the college to offer online

enrichment courses for career enhancement and personality
development drawing on examples and situations from the sports and
games sphere.

4.1 Physical Facilities

4.1.1 How does the College plan and ensure adequate availability of physical
infrastructure and ensure its optimal utilization?

Conditions for affiliation of the University cover the requirements of

infrastructure (classrooms, furniture, learning equipments, computer facilities,
library volumes / journals, students amenities etc.). These are minimum
requirements. The College has always provided more than the minimum
requirements, having regard to its commitment to enhance learning
experiences, provide students greater opportunity to follow their interests,
foster research, diversify the courses etc. It has responded positively to faculty
recommendations for laboratory / facility modernization, upgradation /
additions from time to time.

Coordinated planning by the departments, optimal scheduling and time-tabling

help in the maximum utilization of facilities. The library and computer center
are open for longer hours and on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Computer
facilities are available adequately in all the departments individually. Some of
the sophisticated equipment available in individual departments is used by all
other departments and there is a coordinator to handle the requests and make
time allotments. For instance, the facilities of the Visual Communication
laboratory are used for the graphics and multimedia production needs of the
other departments. Audio Visual facilities and the well-equipped conference
halls (there being 3 of them, one each in the Management, Commerce and
Computer Science blocks) are also optimally utilized by several departments
using a system of advance reservation. The Robotics lab is especially available
for the students pursuing PG Diploma in Robotics. Language lab provides
training on communication skills for all department students. On Sundays the
classrooms and computer center and some labs are used also for IGNOU
contact classes.

Many of the state of the art class rooms and computer labs haveInformation
and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities. The entire campus has Wi-Fi
(Wireless Fidelity) facility.

5.1.13. Does the College have a registered Alumni association? If yes, what are its
activities and contributions to the development of the College?

There is no registered association. Each department however has its Alumni association.
Meetings are held and regular two way contacts exists between the Alma Mater and the
Alumni.

Departments maintain the alumni network. The main aims of the association are to foster
links with the department and among the alumni and share details of mutual growth,
achievement and advancement. The alumni already employed in reputed organizations in
India and abroad help the final year students in their projects and also keep them posted about
the opportunities in their respective organizations, and regions.

5.1.14. Does the College have a student grievance redressal cell? Give details of the
nature of grievances reported and how they were redressed.

A student grievance redressal cell is functioning in the College. Grievances if any reach the
cell (comprising some senior faculty) through the tutors, or referred by the Principal’s office
from the complaints box.

Group representations are made to the Principal and get referred to the Cell.
Grievances have been few, since there are mechanisms like the tutorial mentoring and the
class committees to discuss academic problems / short-falls and find solutions. The cell
conducts an enquiry with the concerned persons, or inspects the cause of the grievance and
makes recommendation to the Principal. A few years ago a new toilet block was built in
response to grievances. Hostel meals are sometimes complained about. Complaints do come
about partiality by a teacher, or shoddy handling of classes or rude treatment.

The institution has constituted an anti-woman harassment cell, a grievance redressed and an
anti-ragging cell. Suggestions Box and Complaint Box are kept in the campus.

Sometimes the college receives complaints from students about the presence of outsiders on
the campus. To prevent untoward incidents, entry to the campus has been put under
surveillance and check. It is mandatory for students to wear their identity cards at the
entrance.

5.1.15.Does the College have a cell and mechanism to resolve issues of sexual
harassment?

There is a cell constituted to address issues of sexual harassment as per the guidelines of the
UGC. It comprises senior faculty members – men and women.

Every year at the beginning of the academic year during the orientation programme, Principal
addresses the students, cautions against the consequences of eve-teasing and sexual
harassment. There have been no problems or complaints.

The College also has a Women Empowerment Cell. The International Women’s Day is
observed with the joint efforts of the two cells. Talks about women empowerment by eminent
speakers and open discussions on the subject are arranged.

Every year at the beginning of the academic year during the orientation programme, Principal
addresses the students, cautions against the consequences of eve-teasing and sexual
harassment. Hence, there is a good atmosphere in the college. The college has also installed
umpteen number of CCTV Surveillance cameras at places where the students assemble
outside the classes.

5.1.16.Is there an anti-ragging committee? How many instances (if any) have been
reported during the last four years and what action has been taken on these?
Our college has an anti–ragging committee with representative faculty members from all
departments constituted as per the UGC / University norms, which has preventive and
vigilance responsibilities as well as disciplinary ones. The names of the coordinator and the
members and their mobile numbers are displayed on all the notice boards and given in the
student handouts. The senior students are made well aware of serious the consequences of
ragging. Minor incidents are resolved at the department level. But serious cases are to be
referred to the committee. The committee attends to the matter without delay. No major
instance of ragging has however arisen.

5.1.17. How does the College elicit the cooperation from all stakeholders to ensure
overall development of the students considering the curricular and co - curricular
activities, research, community orientation, etc. ?

The College offers programmes leading to good employment opportunities in professions /

business / industry. Students and parents select the College with a good sense of where they
are headed and an idea of the careers they will be equipped for. Thus there is even at entry, a
commitment and a goal orientation and a resolve to make good. From the reputation set up
by the College, students know that the College will provide the best opportunities for
acquiring the learning, skills and development that they seek, but also are aware that they
should make the best of the facilities, teaching and experiences provided to them and should
participate with energy and interests.

This message gets reinforced in the several interactions they have with the tutors, faculty and
eminent people and experts they meet in and outside the classroom and through the activities
they are offered and the assessment process and the placement oriented activities and inputs,

F55
 CRITERION –V STUDENT SUPPORT &
PROGRESSION

as well as what they hear of the successes of their seniors. The student-centric approaches of
the College excite and enable students to become achievers.

As for the faculty and staff they have a clear understanding of what is expected of them.
They have to internalize the mission of the College namely excellence in knowledge related
activities and relevance in terms of student development, in terms of skills and values;
preparation for careers. They are provided workshops and programmes on the methodology
for translating these goals into curricular, inputs and teaching strategies. Facilities and
opportunities are available for continual teacher upgradation and skill acquisition.
Recognition and incentives are available as rewards. The greatest motivation however is the
freedom the teachers have under autonomy to design and implement the total educational
process – curricula, methods, assessment – the whole gamut. The management offers full
freedom and participating opportunity for teachers in creating and updating the facilities and
in organizing supporting cocurricular and self-learning experiences and activities. Teaching,
research, upgradation and student centric endeavour thus become a challenge and a fulfilling
vocation, rather than a chore of duty.

Over the years mutually fruitful good will and linkages have been built up with industry
organizations and enterprises of several kinds, which could provide inputs for updating and
career orienting of curricula, expert interactions, training, project and internship opportunities
etc.

Parents are invited to take part in the orientation meetings and parent-teacher meetings, and
to visit the College as often as possible to discuss the progress of their children, as also share
ideas on improvement, with the tutors and the Principal.

Good alumni linkages have been built up and maintained so that alumni feedback is
available on all aspects of the effectiveness programmes and services, as also on
opportunities and new technologies emerging. Alumni also contribute to career guidance and
placement of the current students.

The Chairman of the Management is the overall chief as Correspondent and Managing
Trustee. He attends office full time daily, and being imbued with the mission of the
institution and as one who has built up the institution to eminence, his support is total, and
decisions and release of funds always positive and quick. He is accessible and receptive. As
such an atmosphere of modernity facilitation, efficiency, progressiveness, courtesy, and
cooperation prevails in the campus. Many services are computerized and free of hassle.

Other points appropriate for mention about the management’s approach are:
a. Financing worthy students to attend fests, competitions, visits, pool drives etc.
b. Motivating students to take up community oriented projects and social work
and providing financial aid and other facilities
c. Giving good publicity to every achievement through the local news paper.
d. Encouraging students to plan, organize numerous innovative cultural / talent

suggestions given by the parents are given due importance and considered for
implementation. Parent-Teacher meetings are held to update the parents about the activities
and improvement initiatives of the college.

Faculty members:
The faculty are engaged in the pursuit of academic skills to improve their services. A number
of them have a long time association with the institution and therefore contribute immensely

Biotechnology:
From the demand level for seats, from the placement results, and the post qualification
feedback and progression records ( as become available to the College from its alumni
linkages), the College is the best in its class (self-financing, autonomous, medium-sized
College). This has owed not only to the purposeful and uptodate curricula, effective teaching
and related facilities, but equally importantly to the student centric learning methodology and
the attention and opportunities provided for all round development, inculcation of practical
competencies and confidence and creative endeavour. Drop outs have been almost nil.
Examination results have continued to be excellent.

MANAGEMENT

6.1.3 How is the leadership involved in

The basic structure of management is the standard one for higher education
institutions having the sequence: Trust – Governing Body – Principal – HOD’s
council – HOD;s – Faculty. As the College has grown, there have been additions
to number of faculty committees for various areas and also addition of I.T. officer,
Librarian, Placement Officer, Maintenance Officer etc. Management growth has
been evolutionary, based on best practices of more advanced institutions, the
emerging technologies and needs.

The crucial factor in facilitating efficient and effective management development,

implementation, and continuous improvement has been the centralized vesting of
the developmental financial and managerial administrative leadership in the
Founder / Managing Trustee who is also the Governing Council Chairman /
Correspondent who works at the College full time and has been doing so for the
past 27 years, building up the College. Being a founder, with an MBA and Ph.D.
in Management and past teaching / educational experience, his vision and thrust
for growth and development towards excellence, combined with his financial
authority and control over resources has provided managerial leadership par
excellence towards efficiency, growth and quality improvement. In this the
academic part of management, academic growth, operations, and administration is
taken by the Principal who is a person having several years of senior level
experience as faculty and HOD at the College, who provides inputs on and advice
on directions, developments and investments needed for growth and improvement
to the Managing Trustee. The Governing Council constituted with experts
(academic / industry / business / UGC / University etc. as per UGC guidelines)
overseas and provides guidance on strategy, development as well as operational
improvement. Staff Committees give attention to specialized areas of function –
Library, Discipline, Grievances, Research, Placement, etc., Autonomous working
has its own academic structures.

* identifying needs and championing organizational development (OD)

The top leadership has been alive to the mission requirement of continual growth.
To fulfill this it is always tuned into industrial developments, technology
developments and the emerging and changing requirements of knowledge and
personnel needs. Such awareness is the motivation for development of
programmes, but it should be matched by demand for educational facilities from
the student side as having placement potential. Courses must eventually be
financially self-sustaining and accordingly the leadership does not hesitate to close
down programmes losing popularity so that resources may be devoted to more
needy areas.

As said, the leadership role is shared. The Managing Trustee (Correspondent)

who is also an educationist of eminence, who determines the management
perspectives of mission compatibility, viability needed, budgetary outlays etc., for
new programmes and improvements. The Principal and Vice Principal supported

G2
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

by the Directors /HODs and faculty helps to identify emerging needs and
opportunity and generate initiatives and ideas and systems for excellence and
growth of institutional programmes, activities, human resources and facilities.

*Academic Development, quality improvement and Innovations:

As head of the academic council the Principal gives the lead for the generation of
new ideas, courses and curricula and methodologies and other initiatives for
academic excellence, research, growth of consultancy and industry partnership
and student development. He also looks after HRD and improvement of Human
Resource performanceand motivates and facilitates faculty and staff to superior
performance, upgradation, creativity and achievement. The management
contributes by offering incentives, recognition and facilitation of upgradation
efforts of faculty.

* interaction with stakeholders

It is from the interaction with the stakeholders, that new ideas and thoughts
emerge-Industry institution interaction is promoted by signing MoU’s with the
companies and in other ways. Extension and Community service provide
interactions with stakeholders. Alumni, parent linkages are vibrant.
In fostering these interactions, the leadership is active and supportive. The
leadership has good channels of communication with the important stake holders
– the faculty and the students. The trustee and the Principal provideleadership to
the faculty in organizing and operationalising the development activities and
improvement programmes.

Breaking across hierarchy, they hold frequent discussions and exchanges with all
the faculty.

* reinforcing culture of excellence

The culture of excellence is reinforced among the faculty and staff members by
the leadership by taking them along in running a collaborative and participative
management,providing opportunity for planning institutional progress,
opportunity to interact and work with experts from National and International
level by attending of conferences, workshops, and such programmes. Systems of
work and rewards have been devised which promote and require the pursuit of
excellence. Performance reviews, and quality audits promote continual excellence
focus.

Faculty members are actively engaged in a wide range of academic and allied
functions and processes, so that they get a sense of involvement challenge and
opportunity for development. They are made responsible for:

 design and delivery of courses;

 developing research / consultancy / extension
 achieving course objectives by mapping learning outcomes of their courses and
aligning them with the program level goals;
 periodical review of curriculum and pedagogy.

G3
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

The leadership provides faculty thescope for improvement, innovations and supports
them with needed inputs.

They are given encouragement and opportunities for research, to participate in Faculty
Development Programmes, attend conferences, submit papers, to undertake upgradation
programmes, placement services etc.

6.1.4 Were any of the senior leadership positions of the College vacant for more than a
year? If so, indicate the reasons.

No. At the higher levels turnover is very little. In any case vacancies arising at
whatever level are filled up without delay.

6.1.5 Does the College ensure that all positions in its various statutory bodies are filled
and conduct of meetings at the stipulated intervals?

Principal ensures that all positions in various statutory bodies are filled and meetings
are held as per schedule at the stipulated intervals.

6.1.6 Does the College promote a culture of participative management? If yes, indicate
the levels of participative management.

Participative management is an article of faith and strategy for excellence in the

performance and growth at the college. This has been discussed in some detail under
reinforcing the culture of excellence in Q.6.1.3. above. Faculty are consulted and
allowed to give their views and inputs in planning and implementation of
improvements. At the higher level of management – creation of facilities,
determining investments and budgets, developmental decisions and financial
decisions, determination of fees, faculty and staff appointments and staffing, the final
authority vests with the Managing Trustee. The Principal / HOD’s have a consulting /
recommending role and their suggestions and proposals are given much weightage.
HOD’s are included in Staff Selection Committees and have disciplinary and
operational control over their departments. Admissions are left with the admission
committee headed by the Vice Principal, with faculty drawn from the departments.
HOD’s control the finances of student clubs and association / co curricular activities.
Ph.D./ M.Phil admissions are left to the HOD’s assisted by the faculty guides.

Research related decision-making and library maintenance and development are fully
with the faculty committees. There are other faculty committees delegated with the
Principal’s functions – Development Committee, Disciplinary Committee, Library
Committee, Grievances Committee, Time tabling and Calendar Committee, IQAC,
Anti Ragging Committee, Placement cell, the NSS etc. In all matters concerned with
individual students, the Principal consults with the class tutor. The class committee of
students discuss academic related problems. The staff advisers of all associations
have supervisory control over all student activities.

G4
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

The entire system and planning of the institution has been so designed that it would
accommodate considerable faculty participation in planning and managing many of
the academic / administrative functions of the College and generating new ideals and
innovation in achieving all round development of the college.

The College is autonomous and the academic decision-making (structuring of courses,

formation and renewal and syllabi and assessment and evaluation) vest with the duly
constituted Academic Bodies. The Boards of Studies, have the HOD’s as Chairmen
and the faculty form most of the membership. The Academic Council includes the
HOD’s and some senior faculty. In the Governing Council there are 2 faculty
members. In a nutshell the institution enjoys internal operational autonomy and
participation in management within the frame work drawn by the top management.

6.1.7 Give details of the academic and administrative leadership provided by the
University to the College?

The University controls the College through its rules and statutes, its inspection
andaffiliating powers. It advises and guides the college through representation in the
Governing Council and the various academic bodies like the Academic Council and
Board of Studies. The College is constrained to offer the course titles found in the
statutes of the University, but can suggest the structure and syllabuses for any
programme it wants to innovate for the approval of the University and inclusion in its
statute. The College Principal and a faculty member participate in the senate. Faculty
are sometimes taken into the ad-hoc committees, of the University.

6.1.8 How does the College groom the leadership at various levels?

Leadership at various levels of faculty and staff is groomed by identifying potential,

entrusting responsibilities (from the simple to the more complex) for taking up or
participating in appropriate academic and administrative tasks (committee work,
tutorship, presentation of reports, organization of events, advising students
associations and mentoring them).

Different committees are constituted to implement the plans and policies of the
institution and faculty are nominated to them. The Directors and the respective heads
administer with the help of the staff members. The faculty members are assigned
different responsibilities and duties to monitor and perform in co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities. The college deputes faculty to participate in national and
international seminars and training programs to strengthen leadership roles.

The institution is a place where the students gain many qualities during their stay in
the college. He/ she learn to convert challenges into opportunities in the process of
learning. The institution picks one or two students from each section and delegates
some academic and co-curricular responsibilities and allows them to voice the opinion
of their classes. Faculty members allow the students to conduct seminars and
workshops on their own by putting forward their own ideas and line of thinking. In
sports activities too they learn the leadership qualities by being the captains of

G5

MANAGEMENT

different games. The students play a key role in conducting NSS and NCC, activities.
Added to this they do play a major role during educational tours.

6.1.9. Has the College evolved any strategy for knowledge management? If yes, give
details.

The College is medium-sized and has well-differentiated and defined responsibilities

and specialized work for various teachers in terms of its major work--teaching and
promotion of learning. Databases and functional facilitation I.T. resources have been
established, and are accessible as per needs. Teachers have access to Intranet and
internet to augment their teaching and for the staff to carry on their work. As such,
knowledge managementis not a huge or complex task. The teachers have e-
repositories in the departments to store their material.

The institute has various forums and avenues to devise their own knowledge
management strategy and that they are in line with the overall objectives and policies
of the institute.The following committees and forums are entirely run by the students
with activity /functional focus at GRDIM, with the assistance and guidance of faculty
members. Moreover Management Development Program, Faculty development
programs are conducted regularly by inviting corporate, faculties, research scholars
and Alumni.

6.1.10. How are the following values reflected in various functions of the College?

6.1.11. Give details of the UGC autonomous review committee’s recommendations and
its compliance.
UGC autonomous review committee’s recommendations and its compliance are
enclosed, as Annexure at the end of this chapter.
As can be seen, the Committee has been completely satisfied and impressed with all
aspects of the College’s performance, approach, student-centriciy, progress, facilities
and modernization. A few suggestions made of strengthening harassment, grievance
and anti ragging mechanisms, barcoding of answer scripts, strengthening placement
for IT and Basic Sciences have been addressed.

The recommendation of more senior experienced faculty is being, seriously pursued

but hampered by non-availability. Preparations are afoot for NBA accreditation for
MBA programme. Teacher deputation for FDP and other courses conducted by
Academic Staff Collegeis taken up, whenever courses suitable to our fields of study
are offered.

Some courses like Social Work, BSc / MSc Biochemistry. Microbiology,

Bioinformatics have been suspended so as to concentrate on relevant areas and
excellence.

6.2. Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1. Does the College have a Perspective Plan for development? If so, give
the aspects considered in development of policy and strategy.

The College has more or less reached its limits in the quantitative sense of numbers of
programmes and students and physical infrastructure of buildings / hostels. Its land
resources are constrained. Part-time /evening courses can be increased, but they are
limited in their scope for use of teaching–learning methods and inputs, and can only
be of outreach, refresher or add-on nature and cannot be core activities. Some courses
have been suspended for want of relevance.

The mission is to provide career-oriented, professional kinds of courses in emerging

fields, meeting student demands. These cannot be forecast and set down in a road
map, but arising demand needs be responded by dropping obsolete programmes and
introducing new ones or renewing and innovating new contents and orientation. This
would require institutional mechanisms to spot changing needs and adapt to them /
respond to them.
Thirdly, the institution is basically a teaching / learning one, and research and others
activities are limited to the need for excellence in quality and the faculty upgradation
aspect. The institution cannot aspire to develop as a specialized centres of research,
for which it does not have the resources. With that rider, there is much-scope for
research excellence. So the policy is to develop institutional mechanisms to cope with
and manage change, and keep up the thrust for quality improvement.

G8
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

A change-management and quality-enhancement strategy division backed by an

experienced and innovative minded advisor for planning and development will be set
up to be in-charge of : employment market and trend analysis, change
monitoring,forecasting and management, maximization of teaching-learning,
(innovations and new initiatives) teacher updatement, upgradation strategies and
policies, purposeful research – reorientation, enhancement of student awareness,
skills, community / Environment orientation, industry / business linkages and
collaboration, internationalization initiatives.

6.2.2. Enunciate the internal organizational structure of the College for decision
making processes and their effectiveness.

The curriculum, design and renewal and the determination of the contents and
methods are handled by the Boards of Studies which comprise faculty members,
experts in the field and from industry and the alumni.

Some faculty are also the members of the final academic decision-making body the
academic council. Faculty have considerable scope to decide on the teaching and
evaluation methodologies for their own subjects. In respect of the more general
aspects of development and administration, the faculty has a role through the council
of heads of department and the several committees, such as research committee,
disciplinary committee, grievance redressal committee, library committee,
development committee, etc.

Some members of the faculty are included also in the governing council. Staff are
involved in faculty selection committee and student admission committee.

M.A English course was started in the academic year 2014-2015.

B.Com (Professional Accounting) course was started in the academic year 2016-2017.

6.2.4. Does the College have a formally stated quality policy? How is it designed,
driven, deployed and reviewed?

Continuous quality enhancement and thrust are inherent in the College mission of
excellence:
A quality enhancement agenda in terms of crucial areas of quality focus and action
such as student-centric curricula and methodologies, teaching-learning, professional
and practical training, faculty development and up-gradation, greater use of ICT in all
aspects, and continuous performance monitoring has been framed and circulated for
concerted effort by all departments and faculty.
This was designed by the IQAC and constitutes the essential quality policy.

Explicit systematization of the process quality assurance in terms of identification of

processes for quality achievement, quality target setting, detailing quality related
procedures, monitoring, and evaluation, remediation systems, and provision of
organized support have been engaging the attention of the college since 2000, leading
to the first ISO Certification in 2003. The audit system continues.

The system and parameters have been expanded to reflect quality policy and the
onward progress of the institution and Dr. G R Damodaran College of Science has
been receiving renewed ISO 9001-2000 Certifications every3 years. Enhanced quality
procedures have been implemented to meet the requirements of the application of ISO
9001-2000 Quality Management System for “Design and Development of Syllabuses
under autonomy scheme, Provisioning of Graduation Courses in Sciences &
Computer Fields and Research & Development Activities”.

Regular audits are being carried out as required under the ISO certification system.
Teachers are required to prepare and follow lesson plans and maintain records. With
regard to academic performance of students, monthly tests and model tests are given
and the results are studied. Semester examination results are also analyzed by the
tutors in the light of their knowledge about their wards. Reasons for poor performance
are elicited to take improvement action. Faculty also get feedback from students on
G12
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

their teaching and use it to adopt remedial action. Faculty performance appraisal is
done periodically by obtaining an annual performance report from each teacher with
comments thereon by the Director/HOD/Principal. There are other feedbacks such as
placement results, interviews, observations.

Serious and committed curriculum renewal, assessment system reviews etc. under the
autonomous working mechanism ensure curricular quality, Curricula are supported by
a large complement of other learning –by-doing experiences.

There has been considerable expansion of research activities and teacher self-
upgradation due to support, incentives and facilitation with new facilities, technology
and e-resources has been particularly impressive. Preparation for NAAC certification
has been an eye opener in regard to quality enhancement approaches and has been a
great source of motivation.

6.2.5. How does the College ensure that grievances / complaints are promptly attended
to and resolved effectively? Is there a mechanism to analyze the nature of
grievances for promoting better stakeholder-relationship?

Generally, complaints from the students and the parents are very few. This is because
the needs of students and the sources of their and grievanceare noticed and attended to
the beginning stage itself. The students and parents always feel free to express their
grievances and complaints to the tutors / Heads of the department / the Principal.
Class committee meetings are conducted regularly which enables the identification of
the academic problems of the students. Suggestion box/representation box has been
kept for students to voice their complaints. These complaints and other
representations or grievances raised by students are attended to periodically by the
Principal through the related committees. New system of communication with parents
through bulk SMS is being practiced to keep them fully informed.

The institution has constituted an anti-woman harassment cell,grievance redressal cell

and anti-ragging cell.

The Institute has a Student Grievance Redressal Committee to address the grievances
of students community. Parents also voice their grievances / suggestions to the tutor
with the teachers on a one-to-one basis at the Parent Teacher Meetings or when they
visit the department

6.2.6. Does the College have a mechanism for analyzing student feedback on
institutional performance? If yes, what was the institutional response?

The college collects feedback from current students during the end of every semester.
From this even semester of 2014-2015, the college has decided to collect the feedback
from the students twice in a semester, one after the midterm examinations and the
other after the model examinations to get information / insights into the curricular /
teaching aspects of institutional performance. Necessary steps are taken if any
improvements are required.

G13
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,

MANAGEMENT

6.2.7. In what way the affiliating University helped the College to identify the
developmental needs of the College?

University’s suggestions are received in the reports of inspection commissions and

affiliation committees and are helpful in rectifying deficiencies if any. The faculty
development programmes run by the CDC of the University have been useful. The
University/ UGC nominees in the College Governing Council / Academic Council /
Boards of Studies have been a source of expert developmental advice.

6.2.8. Does the affiliating university have a functional College Development Council
(CDC) or Board of College and University Development (BCUD)? If yes, In what
way College is benefitted.

Yes. The College has benefited by the faculty attending the programmes organized
by the College Development Council (CDC).

6.2.9. How does the College get feedback from non-teaching, teaching, parents and
alumni on its functioning and how it is utilized.
Alumni feedback is obtained informally whenever they visit the Alma matter. There is
a representation of Alumni in the boards of studies.

Feedback is useful in improvement of effectiveness and efficiency, providing more

and better services, changing the teaching schedules, methodology and curricula,
improving facilities and aiding remedial measures.

A web module for Alumni Connect is implemented to keep in touch with the Alumni.
The faculty keep in touch with the parents regarding their wards’ progress and regular
updation regarding the student attendance and his academics / progress is given to
their parents. Parents are also invited to parent-teaching meetings and meet the tutor /
HODwhenever they visit their wards.

Regular meetings of the various academic bodies and the functional committees
provide the opportunity to the teaching members of the staff to discuss on all issues
concerned with the functioning of the college. HOD’s conduct regular department
meetings to gain views, and feedback from their faculty, beside discussing agenda
issues. The faculty members have always the freedom to meet the Principal and
discuss issuesone-to-one too. Many of them also meet the principal often in the
discharge of their roles as tutors / staff advisors. Once a semester a meeting of all
faculty is held. Teacher feedback also figures at informal BOS meetings. Non-
teaching members interact frequently with the Manager / Accounts Officer / as the
case may be and convey their needs and problems. They also meet the Principal for
making representations both individually and in a group. The authorities are
receptive.

G14
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

6.2.10. Does the College encourage autonomy to its academic departments and how does
it ensure accountability?
Yes, the college encourages and has given a good deal of autonomy to its academic
departments especially inacademic matters, teaching learning methods, assessment
(continuous), organizing expert lectures and conducting association events, arranging
internship and other learning experiences etc. Discipline, adherence to class
schedules etc. are aspects retained by the Principal as also teacher-and performance-
evaluation. There however is almost day to day monitoring by the principal of the
happenings in the departments through her interactions with the HOD’s. The
departments are practically the Boards of Studies for the disciplines covered by them
and the HOD’stheir Chairmen. This has enabled the College to turn more decisively
the orientation and thrust of the endeavors of the College from merely teaching
students to pass examinations, to theiracquiring skills and knowledge, and building up
competency and to integrate into the fold of the College other intellectual and
knowledge-related activities.

6.2.11. Does the College conduct performance auditing of its various departments?
Yes. ISO auditing is performed once in six months. During this ISO audit the
department activities and achievements of identified targets and standardsare
ascertained and recorded.

6.3 Faculty Empowerment Strategies

6.3.1 What efforts are made by the College to enhance the professional development
of teaching and non teaching staff?
The College motivates all teaching and non-teaching staff members to pursue higher
studies in their respective disciplines. The staff members are permitted to utilize the
college resources for all their research activities and projects. The College also
provides assistance to the staff members to attend seminars/workshops/conferences,
to publish their research contributions in reputed research journals, and to visit other
advanced institutions to carry out specialized laboratory analysis or for expert
consultation.

The College deputes faculty to attend various Faculty Development Programmes,

Management Development Programmes,Orientation courses, and Seminars.
As a capacity-building initiative, the Institute provides sponsorship, support and
encouragement to faculty for their self-development efforts. An example of the
specialized programmes conducted to learn techniques useful for research was the
AICTE sponsored two week FDP on SPSS and its Application. Teachers are also
assisted to organise research seminars connected to their topics of research.
Opportunities for expert interactions are many.

The non-teaching community also has been encouraged to take up evening studies
under the IGNOU and other correspondence programmes using the college library
resources and to participate in special refresher courses organized for them,
computerization training etc.

6.3.2. What is the outcome of the review of the Performance Appraisal

Reports? List the major decisions.

Performance appraisals are conducted annually to review the work done by the staff
members. The College evaluates teachers on teaching and research performance as
well as on other contributions and achievements reported by them in a year-end
performance self-appraisal to which Heads of the Departments add their comments.
These Performance Appraisal Reports help the Principal and Management to access
the contributions and thereby decide the increment to be awarded. The Principal
discusses matters that need attention with the department HODs, and advices the
faculty in case of short-comings (where possible or desirable
progress/participation/achievement/contribution are not seen). Other remedial
improvement actions (like change in time schedules, removal of other impediments
and provision for further facilities/incentives, sponsoring or suggesting further
specialized training) are also initiated.

It helps teachers self-assess themselves on many aspects, become aware of where they
can improve and take or seek remedial help, and it motivates them to set goals for
themselves and grow. Faculty members are enabled to conceive a detailed plan of
their endeavor. It points out to them areas of achievement and contribution to self-
development and institutional quality enhancement such as acquiring additional
educational qualifications, contributing to corporate activities, to institutional
development and administration, research and extension, contributing to student
development and progression, and to teaching methods and curricular innovations.

6.3.3. What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non teaching
staff? What percentage of staff have availed the benefit of such schemes in the
last four years?

The College provides Casual Leave of 12 days in a year, Earned Leave of 7 days
which could be carried over to the next year and Medical Leave of 7 days with full
pay and 7 days with half pay apart from the recesses and vacations. Administrative
staff are entitled to earned leave, on-duty leave is given to all faculty members on
official visits and to attend seminars/workshops/conferences in other institutions,
University evaluation duty etc.. The female staff members are also permitted to
avail Maternity Leave with 1 month full pay and 1 month half pay.

There is a Group Insurance for all teaching, non-teaching staff and all students.
Medi-claim Insurance is provided to all the staff members. They can also avail
salary advances for festivals. PF accounts are maintained with both faculty and
management contributions.

6.3.4. What are the measures taken by the College for attracting and retaining
eminent faculty?

While we cannot say we have eminent faculty, reasonable salary package, among
self-financed Colleges), recognition of contributions done by the faculty in the form
of awards and incentives, support and encouragement to pursue research activities
in their respective discipline are some of the measures which have helped the
College to attract and retain good faculty.

The College has set up a reputation among would-be teachers for its standards,
quest for excellence and its faculty-friendly ambience.

The Institution provides a good work culture and ambience of academic freedom,
easy accessibility to resources, recognition to academic achievers, encouragement to
participate in seminars and conferences and encouragement for publication. Staff
members are also deputed to act as selection committee members, inspection
commission members, university representatives, visiting fellows, resource persons
and chairpersons in conferences, seminars and workshops. They are also provided
with sufficient welfare facilities. These measures help attract and retain good
faculty, which remain a scarce resource in the fields of study of the College.

6.3.5. Has the College conducted a gender audit during the last four years? If yes,
mention a few salient findings.

No formal gender audit was done. Since nearly 40% of the staff and students are
women, there is enough feedback generated. The impression is that there are no
signs of dissatisfaction or gender related insensitivity or discrimination.

6.3.6 Does the College conduct any gender sensitization programs for its staff?

As pointed out nearly 40% of the staff and students are women. The vast bulk of
our students come from a background that is gender-sensitized and women-
empowered. No special sensitization efforts have been needed or indicated.

6.3.7 What is the impact of the University’s UGC-Academic Staff College

Programmes in enhancing competencies of the College faculty?

Staff members are deputed to attend relevant UGC Academic Staff College
programmes. They have been found quite useful in reinforcing awareness and skills
already acquired by faculty at the College.

6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1. What is the institutional mechanism to monitor effective and efficient

use of financial resources?
The Management in consultation with the Principal prepares the investment and
expenditure plan based on the needs and the estimated income for the academic year.
The allocation of funds to the departments are roughly decided.

The College maintains effective and comprehensive accounting, sanctioning and

ordering and purchase procedures. Quotations are called for, scrutinized, comparative
statements made and orders go through the department to the Principal, and on to the
Managing Trustee. Above moderate limits the sanctioning / ordering powers are with
the Managing Trustee. The Trust Secretary too goes through the bills, vouchers and
accounts. Receipt of goods / supplies must be duly recorded and bills passed before
payments are made.

There is an internal audit of accounts of which provides periodicay reports to the

Managing Trustee. Thus there is continual control on the use of financial resources.

6.4.2. Does the College have a mechanism for internal and external audit? Give
details.
The management carries out continuous internal audit of the accounts and the annual
audit is done by a qualified Chartered Accountant.

6.4.3. Provide audited income and expenditure statement of academic and

administrative activities of the previous four years.

Yes. Enclosed.

6.4.4. Have the accounts been audited regularly? What are the major audit
objections and how are they complied with?

In a private self-financed set up where the financial control sanctioning, payments and
accounting are under the direct daily control of the Management, this question does
not arise. Procedural accounting flaws if any reported are rectified.

6.4.5 Narrate the efforts taken by the College for resource mobilization.
All of the major funding investments, additions to infrastructure, salaries and
maintenance, and interest payments is funded by the Management from out the fee
receipts and if need be from the corpus of the Trust.

To augment research resources and funding for seminars, we approach agencies like
ICMR, DST, DBT, IREDA, etc with project proposals. UGC has also provided funds
for specific developments and programmes. NSTED has funded the setting up of the
Entrepreneurship Development Cell of the College.Such receipts have however, been
limited.

G18
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

6.4.6 Is there any provision for the College to maintain the ‘corpus fund’? If
yes, give details.
The GRD Trust that runs the College has its Corpus Fund. The fund grows with the
donations received and the surplus from fee receipts deposited thereto.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System

6.5.1 Does the College conduct an academic audit of its departments? If yes,
givedetails.

Yes, Internal / academic audits are conducted by the HOD’s every semester in each
department. Also, an external audit is conducted every year by the ISO Certification
agency TUV for all the departments. The internal audit comprises inspection of
Lesson Plans for each subject to track syllabus transaction and completion, and the
Class Record and Slip Books of attendance, review of sessional assessment in each
subject, the analysis of the examination results, review of the research and other
achievements. The class committee minutes and the Tutor’s records and observations
are discussed.

The ISO audit evaluates performance against goals and criteria in areas identified as
important to quality by the College.

6.5.2 Based on the recommendations of academic audit what specific measures

have been taken by the College to improve teaching, learning and evaluation?

The ISO Audit uses specific measurable aspects and targets to monitor and maintain
system and process efficiency, whereas the discussions on the departmental annual
reports enable a broader, overall evaluation of performance so as to plan for re-
orientation of goals and strategies and augmentation of facilities. A recent decision to
lay stress on faculty development by way of framing a scheme for
industrial/institutional visits and work there by faculty was one of the resulting
initiatives. Other actions which follow the audit are arrangement of visiting
lectures/part-time teachers, additional hours for certain subjects and changes in syllabi
and assessment structure. Remedial classes were introduced to assist the weaker
students. Greater internet access to all departments for making use of online resources
and provision of more LCDs are also some examples of follow-up action arising from
the audit feedback.

6.5.3 Is there a central body within the College to continuously review the
teaching learning process? Give details of its structure, methodologies of
operations and outcome?
There is no central body to continuously review the teaching learning process. The
Principal does this in discussions with the individual HODs, reviewing the quality
audit-related documents / reports furnished by them. The internal assessment marks
and the end of term examination results are analysed to locate weaknesses. The

G19
 CRITERION –VI GOVERNANCE,
LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT

teacher evaluation questionnaires given by the students are also analysed. Corrective
measures to improve quality are thought out and implemented.

6.5.4 How has the IQAC contributed to institutionalizing quality assurance

strategies and processes?
A comprehensive quality enhancement agenda by the IQAC in terms of quality
focus and action such as student centric curricula and methodology, professional
and practical training, faculty development and upgradation, and continuous
performance monitoring was framed and circulated for concerted effort by all
departments and faculty. The IQAC has to come up with an explicit systematization
and institutionalization of the processes of quality in terms of staffing, procedure,
budgets for implementing, monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

It must be stressed that the case of self-financed, Colleges is different. They have
paying (and hence demanding) clientle. The Colleges operate in keen competition
and survive on maintaining quality and relevance. They have developed
approaches, built-in response sensitivities and practices to quality assurance on a
continuing basis.

In the light of this, and considering already existing participatory management

system and the large number of functional committees and mechanisms, the
authorities of autonomous working, the Governing Council, the HOD’s Council, the
tutorial system, the internal and external academic and administrative audit system,
in a small / medium College like ours an IQAC will be an overlapping body with
over lapping membership and we have not been able to operationalise such an
arrangement with any separate and realistic responsibilities.

6.5.5 Does the IQAC have external members on its committees? If so, mention
any significant contribution made by such members.

The Board of studies includes external members from Industry, Academia and
Alumni streams who offer valuable suggestions and contributions towards quality
improvement and employment opportunities.

6.5.6 Has the IQAC conducted any study on the incremental academic growth
of students from disadvantaged sections of society?

No. Such cases are rare.

6.5.7 What policies are in place for the periodic review of administrative and
academic departments, subject areas, research centers, etc?

As mentioned periodic ISO audits are carried out by expert quality evaluating agency
for achievements of set goals / targets, in various spheres of the institution’s work.
Under the standing IQAC agenda too, performance reviews are taken up.

G20

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1. Elaborate on any two best practices which have contributed to better
academicand administrative functioning of the college

Best Practices (or promising practices) are those that are reliable (with high degree of
repeatability of results) that produce the best results among different possible practices
and are borne out for their efficacy by research or field experience.

Education being the crucial engine of human development and progress of civilization,
there are a large number of “best practices” evolved by the better institutions and
followed by others.

For instance, we can cite the concept of education as a process of holistic development
rather than a pursuit merelyof academic excellence, the conviction that autonomy of
Institutions that invest teachers with greater freedom, authority and responsibility for
all aspects of the process of education (curriculum design, transaction, assessment and
education) would yield superior results, the semester system with continuous
assessment, the credit based subject unit system which offers choice and flexibility
etc. These are all best practices that have come to stay. We at GRD follow all these
practices. For the purpose of the present question details are furnishedabout two of our
best practices - one relating to teaching learning and the other connected to faculty
development.

H9
 CRITERION - VII INNOVATION AND
BEST PRACTICES

BEST PRACTICE I:

1. Title of the Practice: Planned Teaching for Effective Learning

2. Objectives of the Practice

The objectives/intended outcomes of this best practice are to

 maximize the achievement of intended learning outcomes
 ensure effective delivery of contents using audio visual aids
 provide staff and students clarity in regard to professional development
needs to be served by the teaching-learning.
 To improve student's learning experience and making it meaningful by
providing insights and perspectives about the subject’s relation to the
overall course objective.

3. Underlying principles or concepts of this practice:

A planned and thought-out and detailed exercise will provide clarity to the
teacher, provide vividity of focus and approach to the teaching of the subject,
improve transaction by better preparation of the teachers and adoption of
appropriate techniques, elements, and accessories to motivate, excite and
facilitate understanding and reinforce the grasp. The planning will not only
comprise scheduling and the contents, methods and supports, but also assessment
throughout to evaluate effectiveness and aid learning.
4. The Context:
Teaching has too often and for too long been thought of as a transmission of facts
or at best academic knowledge, by way of lectures and passive listening, or
textbook rote-learning with an examination at the end without concern for
desirable outcomes other than recall. But what really is needed is to cause
understanding, build ability to use the knowledge and grasp its linkages to the
future of the learner and make learning purposeful, towards behavioral change and
in equipping for future learning / application.

5. The Practice:
In the best practice, quality teaching is defined in terms of helpful academic
techniques to produce expected and specified learning outcomes for students. It
recognizes several dimensions, including the effective disaggregation and
scheduling of the progression of the course content, simulation of a variety of
learning contexts, and use of a variety of learning materials, methods, and aids and
supports including visual aids, interactive discussions, quizzes, assignments, field
visits/ demonstrations besides the books/course materials / lectures. The teachers
are asked to prepare and set down in writing, individual teaching plans/lessons
incorporating the most creative methodologies /approaches for each element or
unit of course content. Lesson plants are prepared in advance and cover the
subject in 40 or so sessions in a semester. The elements used in a lesson include
testing previous understanding, linkage of the current session to what has gone
before and what is to follow,, strategies for promoting participation and
understanding, insights to applications, and reinforcing inputs. Assignments are
given to strengthen understanding and application, as also to assess progress.
Seminars and visits and practicals are linked to appropriate stages of the lesson
plan schedule. As he moves on the teacher has to note down how he actually
H10
 CRITERION - VII INNOVATION AND
BEST PRACTICES

completed and carried out the lesson plan, which should be open for inspection by
the HOD as a frame of reference for assessing the status of completion of the
syllabus and the thoroughness of transaction.
Evaluation is done by the continuous assessment built into the lesson plan scheme
and schedule. The Institution’s meticulous curriculum planning provides the
syllabuses, contents and objectives of individual subject to aid the lesson
planning. The course outlines are spelt out and given to the students by the subject
teacher at the start of the academic session.

6. Evidence of Success
An indication of the success of the planned teaching-learning is discernible in the
sessional assessment, in the student’s feedback about the subject at the end of the
semester and in the examination results. More indirectly and later, there are
indications of its success reflected by placement performance and progression of
the students. Teachers get the satisfaction of having done a meaningful job well.
This reflects in their commitment to further upgradation. All these indications
have been positive. Alumni feedback has been good too, and the institution has
been able to pile up a reputation for excellence in academics and students
development.
The evidence of success is also seen in achieving the
targets/benchmarks/distinctions mentioned below:
 Re-accredited by NAAC with A Grade and Autonomous grade
 The institution has maintained its standing as a premier destination for
achievement-oriented students.
 Problems Encountered and Resources Required
 Recruitment and retention of highly qualified and experienced faculty
poses difficulties, which are overcome by giving training. to those
recruited.
 The system imposes extra work on the teacher, but the satisfaction the
teacher gets offsets the trouble taken. Support in the form of technology,
aids and access to teaching material is needed, but the college is well
placed in this regard.

H11
 CRITERION - VII INNOVATION AND
BEST PRACTICES

In disciplines oriented to occupations, professions and techniques, like those offered

in the College, changes are rapid and teachers need to keep update to remain relevant.
Teaching and research go hand in hand in higher education and without research
engagement a teacher cannot communicate the sense of the growing nature of
knowledge.
 Education has become a highly specialized and organized activity so as to cope with
the multiple demands on it of fostering academic excellence, student development and
career preparation, and meeting social and community obligationsrelated to
knowledge extension and application. In achieving their teaching mission, teachers
have to innovate and to devise and execute improvements to student learning and
development and adopt a student–centric focus.
 The Context
 Faculty have to manage these tasks along with handling policy-making and
administrative responsibilities given to them.
 Faculty have to respond to the growing demand for meaningful and
relevant teaching and demonstrate that they are reliable providers of good
quality higher education, while operating in a complex setting, with
multiple stakeholders, each with their own expectations.

4. The Practice:
 The faculty development initiative is not a mere initiation programmes. It
encompasses a multi-stranded endeavor comprising several components. Faculty
orientation program is conducted at the beginning of the academic year for the faculty
who are new. to a acquaint them about the goals, approaches and practices of the
College. This is followed by FDP workshops in autonomous functioning, curriculum
development, assessment methods, teaching methods and techniques, research
methodology personal and professional effectiveness.
 To sustain teacher updatement they are regularly deputed to
refresher courses, international seminars, conference, workshops on
emerging and specialized topics.
 Incentives are given by the management for teachers to upgrade their
qualification by way of additional degrees/ diplomas, and M.Phil/Ph.D research and
enrich their research profiles through publication of books, articles and paper
presentations. All assistance for pursuing research are made available, including
financing visits to advanced institutions and specialized facilities.

 The departments also organise, Expert Guest lectures, National and

International conferences and workshops on their own and on sponsorship to expose
the faculty to the best academic and industry perspectives on current topics.

5. Evidence of Success
The evidence of success is seen in the achievementof the
targets/benchmarks/distinctions mentioned below:
 Availability at the college of increased course options with Industry
relevant curriculum and thrust on employability skills.
 Increasing Research Publications output.

H12
 CRITERION - VII INNOVATION AND
BEST PRACTICES

 Conduct at the College of Conferences at the National and the

International Level
 Increasing number of doctorates on the faculty
 More number of research projects under major and minor research
funding.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

 Crunch of time, human resources, and funding
 Difficulty of facilitating skill updatement in the wide diversity of research
activities of interdisciplinary natureimplied in the college’s agenda of
studies.
 Faculty turn-over at lower levels and paucity of research scholars of good
caliber.
Greater industry and government support for research and teacher up-
gradation, can be of great value.

Conferences, Workshops, Group Discussions etc. are the other experiences provided.

34. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly met
and learning outcomes monitored?
The school ensures that the programme objectives are met by conducting meetings with students
and alumni and by collecting their feedbacks. Significantly the term end result analysis divulges
the outcome of the objectives of the programmes. Placement of the students is also monitored
through the placement cell in the department.
Outcomes of specific programmes such as those providing thorough knowledge in
Instrumentation including theory and practical experiences are assessed by records and open end
tests.
Programme outcomes are assessed by the following means:
 Direct assessment
This is done by continuous assessments like Midterm exam, Model exam and Multiple choice
questions, assignments, seminars, Term papers, Group discussions etc.. By this, the students are
continuously monitored and assessed.
Direct methods of assessment require students to produce work so that reviewers can assess how
well students meet expectations. This is done by evaluating their practical skills in performing
the experiments, Project presentation, Presentation of their thoughts in the Journal club.
 Indirect assessment
Indirect methods of assessment provide opportunities for students to reflect their learning
experiences and express their perceptions of learning methodology to the reviewers. The
students are assessed based on their co-curricular activities which include paper presentations,
mini projects, science exhibitions, Participation in workshops and seminars etc.
 Rubric method
The following criteria are counted for the evaluation of programme outcome:
Practical Skills, Analyzing of problems and solutions, Identification of applications,
Development of innovative ideas and presentation expertise.

 4. Post-accreditation Initiatives

If the college has already undergone the accreditation process by

NAAC, please highlight the significant quality sustenance and

enhancement measures undertaken during the last four years. The

narrative may not exceed five pages.

NAAC accreditation and after

Thirteen years ago in 2001, Dr G R Damodaran College received the

NAAC Accreditation joining the elite group of 20 such institutions at

that time and becoming the youngest institution to get the 5 star rating.

Again in the year 2009, the College was reaccredited at the A grade

level. This seal of approval gave to the College renewed zeal – and

commitment to pursue its progressive onward march adhering to its

purposeful orientations as ensconced in its mission statement, but with

more emphasis on qualitative development, curricular innovation and

multi-dimensional knowledge activity.

 Mission Statement

Dr G R Damodaran College of Science conceives education as a multidimensional continuum

with several interrelated yet distinct goals, concerns, functions and activities. The College
seeks to achieve quality in this totality and has adopted the following mission statement:

Dr G R Damodaran College of Science shall strive for relevance and excellence in Education

through:

 Maintenance of a progressive and futuristic outlook in development by making choices

favouring areas of high growth potential and expanding opportunity;
 Design of courses, instructional methodologies and experiential learning to equip
students with creativity and problem solving skills, to prepare them for rewarding
careers and professions and to face challenges in a rapidly changing world;
 Creation of facilities and programmes of advanced studies, research and development
in appropriate emerging areas of national importance and global significance;
 Involvement with the community around through outreach programmes including non-
formal and continuing education, consultancy and extension, dissemination and
transfer of technology, scientific projects of social significance, and other interactions
with industry, business and other groups;
 Continual growth in the quality and range of offerings and activities through the
innovative augmentation, updating and modernization of facilities, faculty and
programmes.

In the fourteen years since the first NAAC accreditation the college has accordingly made

substantial progress at an accelerated pace as may be seen from the following highlights.

There has been a drop in UG / PG courses in some Biosciences, MSc (Computer Science),

MSW (Social Work) due to want of demand. There has been a considerable increase in UG

BCom intakes. There has been consolidation and quality improvement all round – in

facilities, research, faculty upgradation, teaching-learning, course updating etc.

Achievements in Perspective

As the highlights reveal, there has been good and rapid growth in infrastructure, - physical
and academic. In the later period the growth has been in computer, e and lab facilities. There
has been an impressive growth in the range and quantum of activities
activities and considerable
amount of involvement and achievements in research, extension, and outreach. There has
been an impressive growth in the number of PhD’s/ M Phil’s among faculty, an impressive
number of faculty obtaining these degrees, an enormous spurt in paper publication,
conference attendance and paper presentation. The number of high level seminars organised
/attended by faculty are unparalleled by other similar institutions. There are a large number
of computer terminals and extensive broadband internet and intranet access in the campus
including considerable numbers in the departments. Technology infusion is on the upswing in
all areas: teaching learning, library, administration, examination etc. But how far has the
institution been successful in its primary and rather unique goal of student-oriented
programmes and approaches for overall student development in knowledge, skills, and
preparation for life and careers? Are the students and stakeholders satisfied? Part of the
answer may be available through measurable feedbacks and parameters – such as good
results (nearly 85 – 95% in most programmes), low drop outs (2% - 4%) and good placement.
Except a small percentage of those who marry and settle down, all the rest, about 90% to
95%, are well engaged within a short time of passing out - in higher education/research
(abroad or in India) /employment/entrepreneurship/family business. About 20 to 25% of all
students get employed directly or indirectly through the placement efforts of the college. It is
an indication of the popularity of the college and recognition of the college’s purposefulness
and quality that except for a few courses, the admissions are close to 100% of the sanctioned
intake in spite of the high fee levels (see Table on next page.) (The exceptions are the
Bioscience courses where the current low demand is a characteristic of the low ebb of science
education in India as a whole to remedy which State level initiatives are called for.) These are
part indicators of the College’s success in its student related aims, but other concrete answers
would come only over the long term, for, education is a foundation for the future whose
soundness can be judged only in terms of the unfolding of the recipient’s life, career and
achievements. On the other hand, we also know that so long as the goals and the commitment
and the means employed - the policies, strategies, systems, facilities, practices of the
institution, and their several aspects - are worthy and sound, the outcomes are bound to be of
high quality. It is these institutional aspects that many of the questions in the NAAC self –
study report seeks to probe, and the College finds that it has very positive and impressive
responses to most of the questions in all the criterion areas; - though, there is always scope
for further progress and improvement.
