2.6.2 Attainment of programme outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution.

Response:

The institution has prepared the method of measuring program outcomes and course outcomes that
eventually upgrade the quality of the education.

The learning outcomes attainment is calculated by using the direct and indirect method.

Direct Method:

Preparation of the learning outcomes across all the Programs and Courses.
The Set program outcomes, course outcomes, and program specific outcomes are collected for
different courses.
The target levels are set.
Calculations are done for the attainment of the course outcome to program outcomes.
Each CO is mapped to PO to make a (CO-PO) matrices.

The Attainment of course outcome is calculated by using the following formula

Attainment of Course at UG level:

Attainment of course = 80% (Attainment level in university examination) + 20% (Attainment level in
internal examination)

Page 36/94 04-01-2021 12:36:50

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

Attainment of Course at PG level:

Attainment of course = 50% (Attainment level in university examination) + 50% (Attainment level in
internal examination)

Using students’ internal evaluation marks and University examination, marks the attainment of CO’s are
evaluated.

Assessment – CO’s matrix is prepared for each course.

The attainment level for course outcome is defined as follows:

Level 1: 40% of students scored more than university average.

Level 2: 50% of students scored more than university average.

Level 1: 60% of students scored more than university average.

For the calculation of PO’s, the average attainment values of all courses are considered.

The attainment of program outcome is calculated by using the following formula:

Attainment of program outcome at UG level = 80% (Attainment level in university examination) + 20%
(Attainment level in internal examination)

Attainment of Program outcome at PG Level = 50% (Attainment level in university examination) +

50% (Attainment level in internal examination)

The attainment level for program outcome (POs) is defined as follows:

Program outcome level Target Attainment

Level 1 0.5>1.0
Level 2 1.0>1.5
Level 3 1.5>2.0
Level 4 2.0>2.5

Page 73/94 04-01-2021 12:37:04

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

Response:

The availability of fund is essential for any organization, society, family or co – operatives but the
Movability of fund is even more important. If the movability is in the right direction and coordinate then
the level of progress will be high. Otherwise it becomes ineffective even though the fund is available.
Therefore, the movability of fund is important for the development of organization. The principal, HOD’s,
OS and concerned administrative staff and the committees of the college monitor the use of resources
received from the Management. The allocated funds are utilized to purchase equipment’s and chemicals, to
organize seminars, workshops and conferences also to purchase stationeries.

The administration, the finance committee and the management board, review the use of resources
Including audit, budgets and accounts. They make recommendation for better handling of resources and
effective mobilization of available funds. For the smooth working of our college various committees have
been constituted. Each committee Study its own field. The Planning and Analysis Committee they look
over these requirements minutely and then adding the future aspects and planning, forward it to finance
Committee for clear opinion. The Finance Committee goes minutely all the suggestions and analysis and
then act accordingly for the betterment of students, Teaching and non – Teaching staff. The report is finally

Hazardous chemicals and radioactive waste management

Response:

Solid waste management:

The institution practices the segregation of solid waste and its effective management in the campus. The
collected waste is segregated at the source of generation. The waste bins are placed separately for dry and
wet waste at every corner of the corridor, wash rooms and common room. The dry waste bins are also
placed in laboratories, library, classrooms, etc. The dry and wet waste is handed over to BBMP waste
collection agency for further treatment. NSS has conducted several awareness sessions in the college and
outside on awareness on the segregation and efficient management of solid waste. “Seed Ball Abhiyana
2017” was organised to create awareness in utilising cow dung, mud, seeds etc. Seed balls were made
using solid wastes. In the year 2015 NSS special camp was organized in Halanayakanahalli, Anekal Taluk.
The NSS students cleaned the village, school and temple premises. NSS team created awareness on wet
waste and dry waste and they made people involve in segregation of waste.

Liquid waste management:

The institution practices segregation of waste water from wash rooms and water from laboratories. Liquid
waste from the wash rooms is channelized to the Municipal drain and waste water from laboratories is
disposed of into closed collecting tank after neutralizing the chemicals etc.

Bio medical waste is being dealt with more care. Microbiological items are autoclaved and disposed of.
Proper drainage systems are there in all laboratories. Water effluent from laboratories (biology and
chemistry labs) goes through drainage system. Tanks are regularly cleaned, and any leakage is attended to
immediately.

Biomedical waste management:

The institution is not involved in any clinical experiments directly hence no biomedical waste is generated.

E-waste management:

The condemned batteries and damaged computers are disposed of. Obsolete computers and other electronic
gadgets are sold to recyclers. E-waste generated is given to the authorized dealers who purchase the scrap
and reuse the useful components. Apart from this, the electronic and electrical instruments under repair are
given to the students during the lab sessions to dismantle and reassemble, which help in application
oriented learning.

On 1st October 2015 a talk on E-waste management was organized. Ms. Apoorva, a representative
of Sahas NGO enlightened all our NSS volunteers through a talk on E-waste management.
The college has developed the bulk message system for students, teaching and nonteaching staff, by
Email and WhatsApp groups. Information is passed through electronic gadgets instead of using
paper.
Separate bins are kept in lab for disposal of e-waste.

Waste recycling system:

Page 80/94 04-01-2021 12:37:05

7.1.9 Sensitization of students and employees of the Institution to the constitutional obligations:
values, rights, duties and responsibilities of citizens (within 500 words).

Response:

A citizen of a country is an individual recognized under the custom or law as being a legal member of a
sovereign nation.

Citizens are one of the strong pillars of the country. They can enjoy all the fundamental rights which are
provided by the constitution. At the same time, they should carry out the fundamental duties.

A citizen is responsible to protect the country and make the nation proud and follow the rules and
regulations as stated in the constitution.

Life can become smoother if rights and duties go hand in hand and become complementary to each other.
Rights are what we want others to do for us where as the duties are those acts which we should perform for

concluded with the National Anthem.

The Institution cherishes and follows the noble ideals which inspired the freedom fighters. As a mark of
remembrance we celebrate Gandhi Jayanthi, Kargil Vijay Diwas, Veer Jawaans Day etc. We have quotes
of some great leaders on the corridor walls.

We teach the students about Sovereignty, Unity, Integrity and Brother Hood so that they do not
discriminate.

There is an NSS unit which trains the students to protect and improve the natural environment which is one

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual.

Response:

BEST PRACTICES 1

TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: VIBHAVAT

(VI-Vignan, BHA-Bhasha, VA- Vanijya, T-Tantragnan)

Introduction:

‘Vibhavat’ is a multi-disciplinary national conference organised every year by the institution. The
different disciplines are Science, Commerce, Computer Science and Languages. It takes a lot of effort and
brain storming in implementing this practice. It becomes possible only when the whole institution works as
a team. It took several years to bring perfection into this programme.

Objectives:

The practice is based on the understanding that it is not easy to keep up with the knowledge explosion that
is happening all over the world. What teachers learnt in the past is not sufficient to prepare the students for
the future. They need to update themselves in the matter of knowledge. What students get from the
classroom may not be sufficient for them to pursue a worthwhile career. They need to learn from outside
the books, too. This conference helps both students and teachers to learn. The main objective of this
practice is to share knowledge in the following arears and manner:

Page 86/94 04-01-2021 12:37:07

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

1.Science –to keep track of new developments, discoveries and inventions in the field of natural
sciences and physical sciences.
2.Language –to create awareness on new linguistic developments like new genres, uses, styles etc.
3.Commerce – to keep in touch with the changing marketing trends and the use of technology for the
same.
4.Technology- to provide an insight into the field of innovations, new generation techniques and
upgradation of technology.

Context:

The institution deems it necessary to organise conferences, seminars and workshops for the following
reasons:

1.Education plays an important role in the development of a country.

2.There has been a knowledge explosion since the advent of internet.
3.Conferences are an integral part of university education.
4.Teachers find it necessary to keep themselves up to date so as to prepare the students for the future.
5.Since technology has become an integral part of modern living, everyone has the need to keep
themselves up-to-date in such matters.
6.Conferences provide the necessary knowledge for the conduct of workshops.
7.Due to globalisation, commerce has the need to use modern technology.
8.Awareness on ecology has become essential even for the layman.
9.Seminars on psychology and right living is essential to keep the mental balance of individuals.
10.The human resource requirements of one place differs from the requirements of another place.
These requirements, to a certain extent can be met by conferences like Vibhavat.

Practice:

‘Vibhavat’ is a mega event preceded by a preparation of one month. The planning stage starts with a
brainstorming. The discussions revolve around the choice of topics, the choice of resource persons and
parameters for the selection of papers to be presented.

Topics are recommended by HOD’s in consultation with the faculty members. They are
finalised by the team in consultation with experts and resource persons. Resource persons are finalised by
the team in consultation with the management.

A brochure is prepared one month in advance. The brochure specifies date, topics and resource
persons. The brochures are distributed personally and through WhatsApp, E-mails and YouTube. The team
works with enthusiasm. A certain number of final year students are encouraged to attend the conference.
The brochures are distributed to professors, scholars, academicians, entrepreneurs, technocrats and
intellectuals.

On finalisation of the topics, there is a brainstorming at the department level. All

faculty members are encouraged to present papers on any of the topics chosen. The brainstorming is meant
to motivate the teachers. The institution has sufficient materials and e-resources to help the faculty
members in their efforts. The faculty members are also encouraged to share their experiential knowledge
among themselves.

Page 87/94 04-01-2021 12:37:07

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

The real task begins when the papers start coming in. A committee is constituted to
select the papers for presentation. The parameters for selection relate to the length of the papers, adherence
to the specified topics or sub –topics and clarity of thoughts and expression. The finalisation of papers is
left to the organiser. The papers which are accepted are made into a book later on.

On the day of the programme, once the inauguration is over, the papers are presented on
different venues based on the topics. This helps the listeners to choose their venues based on their interest.
This also provides sufficient time for the maximum number of papers to be presented orally. Although,
nearly 60 papers come for presentation all of them do not get a chance for oral presentation. Our own
faculty members abstain themselves from oral presentation to give a chance to the invitees. The
participants are allowed to ask questions to clear their doubts. Genuine students find this a platform for
extra learning.

Evidence of success:

1.The programme has been attracting nearly 300 participants every year, on an average.
2.On an average, paper presentations reach a number of 60 yearly.
3.We get good feedbacks from most of the participants.
4.We have been able to attract participants from many of the institutions of Bangalore as well as
other states.
5.The resource persons often commented on the systematic conduct of the conference.

Problems encountered:

1.In the initial year we could not attract the desired number of participants.
2.In the same manner, we had problem with the quality of some of the papers.
3.It took us a few years to attract papers of national standards.
4.Topic selection becomes difficult due to changing scenarios in educational field.
5.Gathering scholar’s participation is really a challenge in this competitive field.

Recommendations:

Institutions which wish to organise such programmes may do well to pay heed to the following
recommendations:

1.Consider the convenience of other institutions in fixing the dates.

2.Give a minimum time period of one month for preparation for the conference.
3.Maintain good contacts with other institutions in the mater of give and take.
4.More importance should be given for external expert’s participation.

Best Practices-2

TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: Value Added Courses

Value added courses are meant to polish the students so that they will be ready to face the challenges in
their respective fields. Value added courses are from different fields like science, commerce, technology

Page 88/94 04-01-2021 12:37:07

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

and languages. A lot of effort and money goes into the process of introducing these courses. The faculty
members have to do a lot of time management in managing these classes. It becomes possible for the
institution to introduce such courses because of a supportive management.

Objectives:

1.Value added courses are meant for the all-round development of students.
2.This increases their employability and helps them in campus recruitments.
3.Normally, students learn a lot of things without understanding the basic principles and this always
keeps them dependent on the teacher. These courses make them independent thinkers and more self-
reliant.
4. Every theory has a practical application. Learning the theory is important and it is equally
important to apply it practically. Every theory should be taught practically so that practical
application will not be a problem.
5.Communicative ability and Basic Arithmetic are two things which every man needs in his daily
life. Value added courses concentrate on them.

Context:

Every subject has a practical application and Maths finds its practical application through ‘Mental Maths’.
We often find that a shopkeeper is better in mental maths than a graduate in Maths. A contractor may be as
good in calculation as an engineer since he knows Mental Maths. In the same way, a student who speaks
English well may be poor in written English. It is not necessary that a post graduate in English Literature
should know grammar well. Sometimes a student is found to be perfect in written English but lacks
communicative ability. Even those who are logical are at times found to be deficient in lateral thinking.
Life skills still remains an area which the students yet remain to conquer. Life skills are the practical
applications of human wisdom.

1.Mental Maths is needed in every field. This may not come just by learning Maths.
2.Communicative ability is also needed in every field.
3.Lateral thinking is necessary to solve practical problems.
4. Life skills are necessary to face the challenges of life.
5.Extra short term courses are necessary to make the students job-ready.

Practice:

Under ‘Value Added Courses’ we teach the students Grammar, Spoken English, Arithmetic,
Reasoning, Soft skills, Life skills and Competitive Courses.

1.Students are taught the basic concepts of Maths so that they will improve their Mental Maths.
2.They are taught Grammar so that they can write English correctly.
3.They are taught ‘Situational English’ so that they can communicate properly.
4.They are practically trained in life skills like Time Management, Stress Management, Decision
Making, Personality Development etc.
5.Certificate programmes like Tally, Training for Banking Exam, Bio-informatics, Linux
Administration, Advanced Java etc. to make them job- ready.

When it comes to Maths both the teacher and the student are obsessed with the formula and not the basic

Page 89/94 04-01-2021 12:37:07

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

concept. A student who knows that ½ plus ¼ is equal to ¾, may not know that ½ means half and ¼ means
a quarter. This lack of basic concept makes them poor in Mental Maths. A student obsessed with formula
can work out sums only on paper whereas a student who knows the concept can work it out in his mind.
Hence, at Value added classes we emphasize basic concepts.

Students are taught Grammar so that they can write English correctly. However, in some cases we find that
students who were not taught Grammar write better than those who were taught Grammar. Here, the
problem does not lie in the subject but in the way it was taught. In Maths, the emphasis should be on
concept whereas when it comes to a language the emphasis should be on practice. A language follows no
formula and cannot be taught through rules. Teaching sentence structure is equivalent to teaching
Grammar. Sentence structure can be taught through oral practice. Hence, at Value added classes while
teaching Grammar we emphasize practice rather than rules.

Even intelligent students sometimes fail in life because they lack in life skills. Under life skills we have
‘Communication’, ‘Goal Setting’, ‘Time Management’, ‘Stress Management’, ‘Creativity’, etc. Life
skills are best taught through some interesting games. They are also taught manners and etiquettes to move
smoothly in the modern society.

Besides the general Value Added Courses we have certain certificate programmes, department wise. They
are;

1.Tally (B.com)
2.Training for Banking Exam (B.com)
3.Bio-informatics(Bio-tech)
4.Linux Administration (BCA/B.SC(PMCS))
5.Advanced Java (BCA/B.sc(PMCS)) etc.

Evidence of Success:

As far as development of personality is concerned it can often be felt and not measured. A better student-
teacher relationship is an evidence of its success. A change of attitude is yet another indication. However, it
can be measured through our improvement in the Campus Recruitment results.
Problems Encountered:

1.Initially we had the problem of selecting the right trainers through outsourcing.
2.We also had problem of choosing the right courses for the development of career.
3.Another problem we faced in implementing this program was in getting the teachers trained for this
purpose.
4.Campus recruitment was difficult as most of our students are from rural places.
5.In the initial stages, students found it difficult to get adjusted to the new approach to learning such
as computerized education, practical exposure etc.

Recommendations:

We would recommend the following for institutions which would like to introduce value added
courses for the students’ overall development:

1.An awareness should be created among the teachers with regard to the deficiency in our Education

system when it comes to the all-round development of students.

2.They should also be made aware that we should be ready to overcome our own deficiencies to
introduce this concept.
3.The Management should be ready to spend money for the teachers who are ready to get trained in
specialized institutes of their own choice.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness

7.3.1 Portray the performance of the Institution in one area distinctive to its priority and thrust
within 1000 words

Response:

SMILE

‘Smile’ is a programme organized by the Student Council of our institution, every year. It is meant for
children without parental care.

Objectives:

RJS First Grade College is one of the institutions run by Karnataka Reddy Jana Sangha. Service to the
society is its main objective. Smile is meant to bring happiness into the lives of children without parental
care. A day of happiness can help to change a child’s attitude towards life. A child with a positive attitude
will be able to come out of poverty and face other challenges in his/her adulthood and become a successful
citizen. ‘SMILE’ helps to instil in our students the value of service to the society. Through this
programme they realise the value of relationships and family atmosphere. This also teaches them that there
is more happiness in giving than in taking. Help need not always be material help, even giving love and
happiness can also be of great value.

Context:

1.India is a country inhabited by a great percentage of people below the poverty line.
2.Even children who have families sometimes do not get parental care.
3.Happiness and entertainment are things alien to them.
4.The psychological atmosphere prevailing in certain families may not be conducive for the
development of a child’s personality.
5. Even orphanages may not have the necessary psychological atmosphere for the development of a

 Self Study Report of R. J. S. FIRST GRADE COLLEGE

child’s personality.
6.Love is an emotion necessary for the development of a child.

Practice:

Smile is organised by the student council mobilising the funds from the Management, Faculty members,
Students, Alumni, Stakeholders and Sponsors. Every year 10-15 orphanages register their names for this
programme. Each orphanage is given in-charge of faculty members and student representatives. These
unprivileged children are brought to the college on the programme day by the in-charge assisted by our
volunteers. From morning till evening, the children participate in different competitions like Running
Race, Relay, Lemon and Spoon, Balloon Bursting, Drawing, Singing, Solo Dance, Group Dance etc. The
winners are given attractive prizes. They are provided with breakfast, lunch and snacks. The food items are
generally delicacies which children cherish. Each orphanage is assigned a classroom and there will be a lot
of merry making and sharing under the supervision of the in-charge. Kids are honoured with stationeries
and groceries. Once the programme is over the children are taken back to their respective orphanages in
our college buses supervised by the in-charges.

Evidence of success:

1.The best evidence we have is the feedback given by the children themselves as well as the
orphanage heads.
2. Another evidence is the smile we see on the faces of these children which now we can see only in
photographs.
3. The student volunteers can vouch for the happiness they received by giving their love to these
children.
4. At the farewell time the kids refuse to leave the company of our volunteers. The emotional
attachment developed in one day between our students and the orphanage kids is yet another proof
for the success of this programme.

Problems encountered:

As far as ‘Smile’ is concerned we haven’t faced any serious problems.

1.In the initial years, we encountered the problem of mobilising the resources.
2. We had a little problem in selecting and getting in touch with the right orphanages.
3.Initially we had the problem of creating awareness among our students so as to volunteer
themselves for the programme.

Recommendations:

1.Other institutions can be encouraged to conduct similar institutional social responsibility

programmes.
2.Student volunteers can be encouraged to share their experience with other students so as to promote
the concept of service to the society.
