Sri Vasavi College, Erode NAAC - SSR September 2013

PREFACE

The Erode Vidya Sangam (EVS) – the educational agency which runs the

College – was started in the year 1964 by a group of munificent Arya Vysya

community people. It was registered under Registrar of Societies Act of 1860.

Sri Vasavi College – a flagship institution of EVS, was started in the year

1967 with 133 students and 16 teachers as a Government-aided, pre-university

college, has grown leaps and bounds in the past four and a half decades.

Presently it offers 54 programmes ranging from certificate to doctoral degree.

The college abuts NH-47 connecting Salem with Kanyakumari and caters to

the needs of the educationally backward Erode District of Tamil Nadu.

With the dwindling Government support to start new courses and in order to

cater to the needs of the changing demand, the College explored the self-

financing avenues and kick-started with a couple of need-based programmes

during the year 1994.

With the ideological shift from liberalization of women to empowerment of

women, the College converted itself from the male domain to co-educational

pattern during 1997 and this serves as a basis of establishing gender equality.

The visionary members of EVS has set out with the aims such as: to start and

manage colleges, schools and other educational institutions and libraries for

the advancement of knowledge; to award scholarship or stipend to students to

enable them to proceed with their studies and to award prizes to the students

for proficiency; to utilize and spend their money for the benefit of all people

irrespective of caste, creed, or colour; and to utilize and spend the income for

charitable and educational purpose only.

We can boast ourselves that even after the passage of nearly half a century, the

ideals of our founding fathers were scrupulously followed and we are very

proud in declaring ourselves as donation-free, capitation-free merit-based

admitting institution. The socially-disadvantaged and economically-weaker

students, who happen to be the majority in the campus, stand as a testimony to

the system that follows the set standards and Government norms.

The teaching and administrative staff – the other important stake-holders, are

dedicated and offering their unstinted support to the cause of education and

thus uplifting the students. The holistic, value-based education imparted has

helped in producing the competitive student outputs. These alumni have

become successful entrepreneurs, scaled up bureaucrats, private and public

2


sector employees and bright academicians. Added to them are the present

students, who have all helped in having a congenial learning environment

throughout the chequered history of the college.

With the changing thrust given to quality in the higher education arena is

palpable, we have decided to subject ourselves for an honest introspection

with a soul-searching question: ‘what are the areas of improvement?’ This

kind of exercise will help us to benchmark upon certain enviable standards

from the neighboring and national scenario. The preparation of self-study

report(SSR) for NAAC by a selected team of teachers has thrown light from

many different perspectives and proclaims to our stake-holders that we are

prepared for a change. We fervently hope that the feedback from the NAAC’s

peer-team will enlighten us to scale newer and newer heights in our journey

towards excellence.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The decision of EVS to apply for Assessment and Accredititation by NAAC

and its subsequent ratification by the Governing Council is the game-changer.

Quality and its improvements; benchmarking; effectiveness and efficiency

have become the talk of the campus. The report, elaborating on the seven

criteria has been prepared by different empowered teams under the

stewardship of the Principal. The condensed essence of the various criterion-

wise input is presented in this summary.

CURRICULAR ASPECTS

Our institution, affiliated to University system, draws the curriculum designed

by the wider body. However, with a limited leeway, the institution involves in

the development and deployment of curriculum related works through the

members who are/were chairpersons/ members of various Boards of Studies of

our affiliating University. Our members of faculty were/are, invariably, in the

Boards of Study during various periods owing to their seniority and expertise

in the field. More academic flexibility is enshrined on the certificate

programmes. Various add-on courses and additional skill oriented training are

part of the campus life whose curriculum has been designed by our offering

departments. In order to cater to the market needs, our institution has given an

offspring – a self-finance wing to usher the community with latest

programmes and additional intake. This parallel stream under self-financing

basis has near equal number of students. In self-financing too, the fees are

highly affordable as well as competitive, keeping the philanthropic vision of

our founding fathers of the institution.

TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION

The overall annualized growth rate of students’ strength is 4% pa. The

composition of socially marginalized sector [SC/ST/OBC] is increasing every

year, thus reckoning an inclusive character. By sensing the social

responsibility the institution got converted as co-educational one during 1997.

Within a decade after conversion, girls outnumbered boys and thus address the

gender equality. Most of the students are first generation graduates and also

studied English as their second language (ESL) in the school. The proliferating

self-financing colleges have not deterred the demand ratio indicating indirectly

the quality of education imparted during the past four-and-a-half decades.

Scrupulous adherence to the Government norms over a period of time has

created an exclusive niche – a not-for-profit institution, in the society.

4


The remedial courses exclusively for the economically weaker-section

students for the past five years have helped the ESL learners to cope with the

change-over of the medium of instruction. The institution has three UGC

sponsored add-on courses specifically designed to augment their career

prospects of this region. Need-based short term courses are also conducted for

the advanced learners. The dropout – in its stricter sense, is practically very

minimal; since the students who have actually left, have opted for other

avenues in higher education.

The teaching-learning process is student-centric and most of the teaching

faculties are experienced to handle the courses. N-List subscription, labs with

Internet connectivity, the gifted students with laptop compels ICT enabled

learning. Highly systematized, comprehensive and continuous internal

assessment tests are part of the teaching-learning process leading to ability

grouping and evaluation of performance. Various associations and forums also

support the teaching-learning process by providing the much-needed external

resources with rich-experience.

The experienced and research-savvy conglomeration of teaching faculty is the

real strength of the college. Deputation to orientation, refresher courses and

other skill-enhancing workshops is an integral part of the academic life. An in-

house Faculty Development Cell also organizes timely and needy programs

with right resources to equip the staff with the market-oriented competencies.

The pass percentage and annual medal tally with University Ranks is vouching

for the learning outcomes.

RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION

Research impetus is sown with the ever-increasing qualified teachers and the

number of research scholars produced every year. The institution has part-time

research programmes to quench the research thirst. The principal investigators

of major and minor projects funded by UGC enjoy full autonomy and thus

they are encouraged in the research activities. Research facilities have been

augmented in the recent past in all the science departments. On an average, the

institution hosts two National/International conferences/Seminars in every

year. NCC, NSS and YRC are the three outfits concentrating on the extension

activities which are actively involving the students in reaching the unreached.

Being mandatory, the students are actively participating in any one of the

extra-curricular activities and thus help them in upgrading their skills.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

Being an aided institution and scrupulously following the Government’s

admission norms, the institution is devoid of funds for developing the

infrastructure facilities on par with the new generation institutions. The

computing facilities, fitness studio and the learning resource centers are quite

adequate. Spacious classrooms and bigger blackboards, sufficient books in the

library are the hallmarks of our institution. Centralized and distributed

computing facilities and internet connectivity to all the departments are made

available. Post-office, extension counter of a Bank, an exclusive student-staff

co-operative society, indoor fitness centre are the added feathers in our cap.

Constant addition of library books/journals at periodic intervals and

maintenance of equipments are in vogue. An NCC-obstacle course built to

rigorous army specifications is also available.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION

The institution ensures near total coverage with monetary aids for the benefit

of students from Government as well as philanthropic donors by way of

scholarships, endowments and merit prizes. This special feature has helped in

sizably reducing the drop-out rate. ESL students are given remedial coaching

to accelerate their progression. A block insurance policy for the students is an

ameliorative measure available in the campus. The creative skills are honed

through the student contribution to the annual college magazines and periodic

bulletins. Apart from imparting knowledge, we strive to impart skills and

attitude building through cells like Entrepreneur Development Cell, Career

Guidance and Placement Cell, Training Cell for Competitive Examinations,

etc., so as to make the process more socially relevant.

With the stupendous effort from the dedicated faculty, the students able to

achieve around 95% pass rate and also the students bring laurels by getting the

coveted gold medals and ranks from the University. Nearly one third of the

UG students, on an average, progresses to PG courses and thus adorning the

top rung of the higher education ladder. The students are encouraged to

participate in the various inter-collegiate programmes and they bring laurels to

the institution. The democratically-elected students’ forum helps in fulfilling

the aspirations of the students and also helps in redressing the grievances, if

any.

GOVERANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

The visionary leaders and founding fathers of our institution, about 50 years

back, had sown the seeds for the formation of Erode Vidya Sangam. The far-

sighted vision of serving the local community and uplifting them academically

6


has not even now faded. Quality deployment is top-down in our institution.

The team forming and team working principle is the hallmark in our working

style.

The quality policy of the institution stems from the vision and mission

statements. Empowering people is the route through which the institution

deploys its resources. Student-centric learning, faculty development

programmes and deputation to refresher programmes are the various quality

improvement strategies of the institution. Annual self-performance appraisal

for the teachers of self-finance stream is in vogue. This is evaluated by

external experts and incentives are given.

Prudential and collective decisions with regard to the capital spending have

been commended both in the internal and external auditing.

INNOVATION AND BEST PRACTICES

One among the best practices is providing merit prizes [cash awards] to

students of self-financing stream who maintain an overall aggregate of 75%

and above in the semester examinations. This practice was introduced about a

decade back to uplift the academic standing of the students and the increase in

the number of recipients every semester evidences the realization of the cause.

The other one being organizing guest lectures, seminars, and workshops by

drawing resource personnel from industry/academia for the students of self-

financing stream on week-ends. This helps the students to have an edge over

their peers as they get to know the recent developments in their respective

sphere. The institution is exploring other possible avenues of implementing

many other best practices in the coming years.

SWOC ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS: Any institution with nearly half-a-century of functioing

should be endowed with strengths which might have been derived during the

years. “Survival of the fittest” is today’s mantra and the following strengths

have made us to withstand the various tests of the time.

Not-for-profit/no-donation/no-capitation has given us a special niche in

the community.

Student composition consists of inputs from economically weaker

sections and thus serving the under-privileged.

Locational advantage eases the commuting difficulty of the students.

Pass percentage consistently scaled up and now hovers around centum.

7


A combination of traditional courses in aided stream and job-oriented,

modern courses in self-finance stream.

Holistic development of the students through compulsory participation

in extra-curricular activities such as NCC/NSS/YRC.

Nurturing access, inclusivity and gender equality.

WEAKNESSES: Some of the strengths, even if they are not identified, will

not hamper our growth.. However, it is not the case with weaknesses.

Therefore, careful and meticulous attention has been paid to identify to these

grey area matters. We earnestly hope that the identification of these

weaknesses shall act as the stepping stones in weeding out the identified

weaknesses and also converting them into strengths. Ideological stand of not-

for-profit motive strolled us to a state of fund-starvation. This inadequacy has

cascaded to affect other areas too. After a thorough introspection, the

institution is determined to concentrate on the following issues in the coming

years.

The built-up space to be augmented

The library and office automation process to be accelerated

Providing Wi-Fi connectivity to the campus

Thrive for more research fund

Improve the publications in scholarly journals

Establishing strong industry linkage

OPPORTUNITIES: Opportunities are galore in the environment. It is up to

the institution to make best use of them. The present era with the thrust on

knowledge economy endows every HEI with plenty of opportunities. In our

fervent search, we have indentified the following opportunities and in the

process of seizing them.

The prevailing low gross enrollment ratio.

Ripened job-market coupled with technological advancements.

Growing economy fuelled by the tertiary sector.

CHALLENGES: Any achievement will have necessarily to face the

challenges in the environment. The following few demerits out of our bounds

are considered to be our challenges.

The deteriorating input quality.

Most of the input hails from first generation and ESL background.

Enhanced competition from self-financing colleges.

Lack of quality consciousness among rural populace.

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and

describe how these are communicated to the students, teachers,

staff and other stakeholders.

The vision statement of our institution is:

To provide access to affordable, quality higher education and research

to all, on a philanthropic basis, with a view to imparting ethical values

and global level competencies for social empowerment and for the

sustainable growth of our nation.

The mission statement of our institution is:

To follow a transparent admission policy on merit cum means basis

to ensure social justice.

To offer along with Government-Aided courses, affordable Self-

financing courses to cater to contemporary needs.

To impart higher learning of the most creative mode with a team of

competent and committed faculty.

To foster research with social relevance and to transmit the

findings from lab to land for the betterment of the community.

To impart skill-oriented training to students to enable them to

prominently displayed in placards at vantage locations in the campus.

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for

effective implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the

process and substantiate through specific example(s).

Based on the University’s academic calendar, the college staff council

21


decides upon the teaching days, schedule of the CIA tests, dates of

practical examinations, and communicates the same to the

stakeholders.

The departments allocate subjects to the teachers based on their

interest, exposure and ability during the end of the previous semester,

giving adequate time for preparation of lesson notes and teaching plan.

Based on the master time-table for the language and allied/ancillary

subjects, the class-wise time tables are prepared by each department

and communicated to the students on the commencing day of the

semester.

The Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) pattern enables the

learners to identify their standing in each of the subjects at constant

intervals thus enabling the teacher and the learner to initiate corrective

actions.

To supplement the class room teaching, arrangement of seminars,

guest lectures, workshops, student-seminars and paper presentations

are also planned ahead and the heads of departments monitor the

execution. Equipments/books/journals requirements, requirements for

the appointment of temporary teachers to the vacancies that are yet to

be approved by the Government are assessed at the beginning of the

year and are fulfilled.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers

receive (from the University and/or institution) for effectively

translating the curriculum and improving teaching practices?

The University designs and updates the regulations and curriculum for

every programme and the same is uploaded in its website. For a few

programmes, the University publishes learning materials both in print

and online editions. The University accommodates teachers in the

various Boards of Study and Standing Committee on academic Affairs

22


thus enabling them to express matters related to translation of

curriculum and to improve the teaching process. The UGC’s Academic

Staff College organizes orientation and refresher programmes in order

to improve the pedagogical aspects of the teaching community. The

system mandates the participation of teachers in these programmes.

The institution organizes Faculty development programmes

periodically in the campus. The institution encourages the teachers to

participate in various seminars and workshops organized by other

institutions by providing on-other-duty permission. Teachers of self-

financing courses are given financial incentives for publishing papers

in conferences. Staffs are eligible to avail FIP leave provisions for

pursuing their research. The institution appoints temporary teachers in

lieu of teaching positions that are not approved by the State

Government.

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the

institution for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the

Curriculum provided by the affiliating University or other

statutory agency.

The institution takes all-out efforts for a hassle-free delivery of the

curriculum by providing all the necessary infrastructure facilities. The

institution organizes periodic guest lectures, workshops, student-

seminars and paper presentations to augment classroom teaching.

Purchase and maintenance of laboratory equipments, specimens, books

and journals, appointment of ad-hoc teachers to compensate the

vacancy positions yet to be approved by the state government – are

some of the institutional initiatives towards effective delivery of the

curriculum. The institution provides internet connectivity in the

campus to facilitate teachers to effectively carry out the teaching-

learning process.

1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries

23


such as industry, research bodies and the university in effective

operationalisation of the curriculum?

The industries and research bodies accommodate our students for

industrial training, field visits and project works for the UG and PG

Students. The students are permitted to visit the University library.

Experts from industry, research bodies and University make frequent

visit to the institution to provide additional inputs to the students. For

instance, Industry-Institution-Interaction Forum organizes weekly

meetings with practicing people from neighboring industries.

1.1.6 What are the contributions of the institution and/or its staff

members to the development of the curriculum by the University?

(number of staff members/departments represented on the Board

of Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback, stakeholder

feedback provided, specific suggestions etc.)

The university curriculum is designed by the respective Boards of

Studies for Colleges. The heads of department solicit opinion from

teachers and students and pass the same to the chairpersons of the

respective Boards of study for consideration. Our faculty members

who are on the Boards of Study elicit opinions and suggestions for the

improvement of the curricula from students, alumni and fellow faculty

members, and in turn, recommend them in the respective Boards of

Studies. Many such recommendations get accepted after due

discussion at the university Boards of Studies. Currently, 15 teachers

belonging to 8 departments are members of boards of studies for 11

programmes.

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission

process and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’, what is the outcome

of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of

the process?

Yes. Being aided in nature, the admission process is governed by the

prescribed norms of the authorities concerned. Therefore, the

institution is having limited scope in altering the admission process.

However, the institution holistically reviews the admission and the

following improvements have been done to the admission process.

For courses which have a high demand ratio, the institution

admits additional 20% students with the due approval from the

affiliating University.

41


For the self-financing programmes a little relaxation in cut-off

marks is permitted for women students, which has resulted in

gender equality.

Special publicity and wider reach was given for self-financing

courses by participating in educational fairs to ensure good

number of applications.

Single-window counseling on a specific period for admission to

all programmes that prevents merit-drain to other neighboring

institutions.

Through the annual reviews, the institution is pleased to understand

that it is catering really to the economically weaker sections and

maintains gender equality in admissions.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for

following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission

policy of the institution and its student profiles

demonstrate/reflect the National commitment to diversity and

inclusion SC/ST, Women, Differently abled, Economically weaker

sections, Minority community, Any other.

Our College scrupulously follows the Government norms with regard

to admissions. This ensures a transparent admission procedure with

equal opportunities to the socially disadvantaged sections of the

society, minority, SC/ST and women, thus enabling an inclusive

character as envisaged in our vision. The following table gives the

composition of OBC and SC/ST in the total enrollment.

b) Women:

The institution takes adequate care to maintain gender equality by

opening its doors for admission to women students from the academic

year 1997-98. For the self-financing programmes, relaxation in the cut-

off marks is provided as an incentive to women students to gain access.

The gender-wise composition of the students admitted during the past

five years is shown in the following table. In the aided stream, the girls

outnumber boys reflecting the social commitment of the Government.

d) Economically weaker section:

As much as 90% of the students admitted are from economically

weaker section of the society and all of them are receiving scholarship

from the Government. During the past 4 years, the college has been

providing free education to about 62 students in the self-financing

programmes, thus enhancing their access to education. The year-wise

break-up of the beneficiaries is shown below.

The fee structure is kept at a minimum level to encourage the

unprivileged to gain access to education. SMART [a voluntary

organization found by the teaching staff to help financially, or

otherwise, the deserving students.] helps the economically weaker

students to tide over their financial crisis by offering examination fee

scholarships and bridge loans, details of which are elaborated in 5.1.2.

e) Minority Community:

The following table depicts the number of minority students admitted

during the past five years. Since the institution follows the sub-

reservation policy for minorities within the OBC category as stipulated

by the State Government from the year 2009-10 onwards, the number

of minority students is on the rise.

In case of UG programmes, there is a significant decrease in the

demand ratio due to more number of self-financing engineering as well

arts & science colleges. It is a cause of concern and hence a detailed

introspection needs to be done. This shall bring out the real causes and

remedial measures. However, for PG programmes the decline is not

alarming. Stability is maintained in the self-financing programmes.

2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs of Students

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abled

students and ensure adherence to government policies in this

48


regard?

The college accommodates differently-abled students as per the

reservation quota norms in admissions as per the prevailing

Government Orders. In all the buildings, ramps are provided to

facilitate the movements of differently-abled. For the visually disabled

students, fellow students help them by reading the subjects for them

and scribes are arranged for them in the examination.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of

knowledge and skills before the commencement of the

programme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process.

No. Mark scored in the qualifying examination is alone considered for

admission.

2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to

bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them

to cope with the programme of their choice?

(Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.

The introduction of CBCS and CIA tests helps the teachers to

categorize students as slow and advanced learners.

In general, there is an inherent weakness among the students in

learning English due to the fact that they have studied up to +2 with

English as Second Language (ESL). The switchover to English as a

medium of instruction poses this hurdle. To enable the students to

overcome this weakness, the Departments of English organized

remedial courses to bridge this identified gap during the past 5 years.

Every year, remedial coaching was provided to about 100 students.

In the self-finance wing, the departments of English and Mathematics

organize special coaching in English and Maths respectively for the

49


educationally weak students. This has helped in improving the pass

percentage significantly.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such

as gender, inclusion, environment etc.?

As the college has achieved and sustained gender equality and

inclusive character by scrupulously following the admission norms, the

need to sensitize the stakeholders does not arise. With regard to

environmental sensitization, environmental awareness is part of the

curriculum for the UG students.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special

educational/learning needs of advanced learners?

The advanced learners are promoted as peer leaders to take up the

tutorial sessions, handle seminars and given a chance to participate in

intercollegiate competitions/seminars. They are also made as peer

teachers, and therefore the weaker students get their doubts clarified

without any inhibition. Periodic student-seminars by the students of

self-financing programmes challenge the advanced learners.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and

information on the academic performance (through the

programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students

from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged,

slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.)?

The academic performance is monitored by maintaining a mark

register wherein the marks obtained by each student in each semester is

recorded. The CIA test marks and attendance details of the students are

monitored by the respective departments and appropriate counseling is

provided to the needy.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and

50


evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan,

evaluation blue print, etc.)

Being an affiliated College, the college council prepares the academic

calendar dovetailing with that of the University by giving the details of

working days and the time schedules for the three CIA tests in the

beginning of every semester and the same is communicated to all the

members of the faculty and students. All the departments prepare a

year-plan at the beginning of every academic year and the same is used

as a control mechanism.

The University prescribes a minimum number of instructional hours

for each subject. As the syllabi are unitized, the teachers easily factor

their teaching plan and complete the syllabus well within the time.

CIA tests are evaluated by the respective faculty within the stipulated

time and the same is informed to the students. The evaluation schedule

of end-of-semester examinations is circulated by the University.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching–learning

process?

The College has not constituted IQAC yet. However, the College

Council deliberates the ways and means of improving the teaching

learning process.

2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the

support structures and systems available for teachers to develop

skills like interactive learning, collaborative learning and

independent learning among the students?

The College supplements the regular classroom teaching with the

following learner-centric approaches.

The department of History maintains a museum with a rare

collection of archeological items. This helps in comprehending the

field of archeology, numismatics and heritage.

51


All the departments arrange regular visits to nearby industries such

as dairy farms, textile processing, tanning units, paper mills, plastic

industries, power plants, industrial estates, agro/industrial expos,

historical/archeological monuments, aquaculture/ vermiculture/

sericulture units, garment manufacturing units, weaving mills,

electronics component manufacturing units, and so on.

The departments of History, Economics, and Zoology regularly

organize field trips to places of importance to acquire hands-on

knowledge.

Certain UG courses and all PG courses encourage project works

related to their area to enhance the conceptualization of the theory

studied in the classroom.

A well-stocked CD library with over 2920 CDs/DVDs on various

subjects enables learner-centered teaching approach.

In the self-finance wing, all departments arrange periodic

(minimum of 3 per semester) guest lectures and workshops by

drawing personnel from academia and industry to supplement the

classroom teaching.

The Industry-Institution Interaction (I3) Forum of Business

Management Association organizes a weekly assembly with people

drawn from various fields to share their expertise in the interaction

sessions. This bridges them with the current practices in the

respective field of knowledge.

The departments of MCA and Mathematics(CA) regularly organize

aptitude development classes to improve the mental ability of the

students.

Encouragement to students to present papers in class seminars.

The college is publishing 10 department-bulletins through which

the writing skills of the students are honed.

As many as 21 add-on courses are conducted to help the students

technically competent and thereby enhancing their skill set.

The department of Costume Design and Fashion organizes annual

designer contest to bring out the latent talents of young minds. The

52


department periodically arranges training on embroidery and

stitching, pot painting, soft toy making, metallic painting, fabric

painting, etc., to enhance the boundaries of the skill set of the

students. Every year, the department of CDF organizes an

exhibition-cum-sale of the creative works of their students.

A few departments organize annual intra-departmental technical

competitions.

Communicative English Courses are conducted for all final year

students of the self-financing programmes.

Institutional training and home assignments are part of our

curriculum and these teaching methods are learner-centric.

Strategies for acquiring life skills, knowledge management skill and

life-long learning

Various forums and cells like Placement Cell, Entrepreneurial

Development Cell, Training cell for Competitive Examinations,

Entrepreneurial development cell, Eves’ Cell, Personality

Development Cell and Consumer Club provide students with required

exposure and enable them to learn the life skills, knowledge

management skills and life-long learning skills.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and

scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-

long learners and innovators?

Various associations and forums conduct competitions such as quiz,

oratorical, essay-writing, etc., to nurture critical thinking. The College

brings out in-house news-bulletins and annual magazines in order to

enrich their creativity. The students are encouraged to participate in the

inter-collegiate competitions thus nurturing their soft skills.

2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the

faculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning -

resources from National Programme on Technology Enhanced

53


Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on Education through

Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open

educational resources, mobile education, etc.

The 7 multimedia projectors available in the College are effectively

used by the staff and students for class handling, student paper

presentation, etc. Three smart boards are also available in the labs.

Internet facility is available through leased line, broadband and VPN

connections (through NME-ICT scheme of Govt. of India) in all the

computer laboratories. The faculty members can browse the Internet at

any time and students can avail the facility after the college hours. The

facilities at the common computer lab are also utilized to a great

extent. Educational DVDs/CDs in the CD library are often used to

have audio-visual learning. The NPTEL materials are downloaded and

used by the faculty and students on need basis. All the staff members

and students have access to e-resources through N-List programme of

INFLIBNET.

2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of

knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars,

workshops etc.)?

Constant upgradation of knowledge and skill by frequent participation

in the seminars, conferences, refresher courses, etc., by the faculty

helps them to keep abreast of the recent trends in their respective

fields. Interested students are encouraged to take part in seminars,

conferences and workshops organized by other institutions.

2.3.7 Detail (process and the number of students benefitted) on the

academic, personal and psycho-social support and guidance

services (professional counseling/mentoring/academic advise)

provided to students?

The academically weak students are given adequate guidance and

encouragement at the department level by the respective staff-in-

charge. Other forms of counseling are provided on case-to-case basis

discretely.

54


2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods

adopted by the faculty during the last four years? What are the

efforts made by the institution to encourage the faculty to adopt

new and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovative

practices on student learning?

To encourage ICT based teaching, the institution provides 7

multimedia projectors and 4 smart boards.

2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning

process?

Our college library provides e-learning facility for all the faculty and

students with the support from INFLIBNET.

Besides, the vast collection of books and journals are of immense use

to the faculty and students. The reprographic facility enables the

students to effectively use the library resources.

2.3.10 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.

The syllabi are completed well within the time as per the academic

calendar. On very few occasions, a few subjects could not be

completed due to the fact that the faculty has to avail prolonged leave

unexpectedly. These are compensated by conducting special classes on

week-ends.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching

learning?

The departments conduct a review meeting after every CIA test to

analyze the students’ performance in every subject and the rate of

absenteeism. Defaulters are suitably counseled by the respective staff

and the concerned faculty of the department. Also, the institute

55


conducts such review meeting after the publication of the end-semester

examinations and the result performance is submitted to the Principal.

Under CBCS system, students are assessed by three tests during every

semester. At the end of every CIA test, scripts are valued within a

week’s time and marks are informed to them. Students are given

opportunity to discuss the performance with the staff concerned. At the

end of every semester, the overall internal marks awarded to the

students are displayed on the notice board. In the self-financing wing,

performance in the CIA tests and attendance details are sent to parents

thrice in a semester.

2.4 Teacher Quality

2.4.1 Provide the following details and elaborate on the strategies

adopted by the college in planning and management (recruitment

and retention) of its human resource (qualified and competent

incentives are given for every additional qualification which has a

56


bearing on the teaching and learning. Sabbatical leave provisions are

also available to quiche their academic thirst. Teachers who are in

service are given orientation and a specified minimum number of

refresher courses in order to upkeep with that of the current

developments in their domain. In the self-financing stream, certain

financial and non-financial incentives are strategically provided for

achievers and qualifiers in order to retain the talents. An attractive

starting scale ensures required number of applications and a true

selection takes place in order to fit the right HR to the right position.

2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity

of qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas

(emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT,

Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the

institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three

years.

The senior level positions are generally filled with requisite promotion

generally from within the institution. In spite of our interest to start

new courses in emerging areas, the financial freeze imposed by

Government restrains our desire in the aided stream. However,

teachers out of their own interest and in view of the development of the

institution have undertaken research guidance and doing research in

frontier and emerging areas. The staff development programme and

other retention measures have ensured retention within limits.

2.4.3 Providing details on staff development programmes during the last

four years elaborate on the strategies adopted by the institution in

enhancing the teacher quality.

2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg:

providing research grants, study leave, support for research and

academic publications teaching experience in other national

institutions and specialized programmes industrial engagement

etc.)

Staff members who have registered for Ph.D. are eligible for study

leave for two years under Faculty Improvement Programme of UGC.

Nine out of the existing fifty eight teachers of the aided-stream availed

the FIP. During the X-Plan period, three faculty members availed the

FIP and completed Ph.D. degree.

On-other-duty facilities are granted for participating in

National/International Seminars and Conferences. UGC’s PTAC is

60


utilized to meet out the registration fees of the teachers who attend

conferences.

We adopt the free-rein policy with regard to applying for various

research grants(minor/major projects of UGC and schemes of other

funding agencies). The principal investigator of such granted schemes

are completely empowered which gives the necessary impetus in this

direction.

In SFW cash incentives are offered to those, for publishing research

articles and acquiring research degrees viz. M.Phil/Ph.D.

2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards / recognition at

the state, national and international level for excellence in teaching

during the last four years. Enunciate how the institutional culture

and environment contributed to such performance/achievement of

the faculty.

Dr.V.S.Ganesamurthy received Senior Economist Award from the

Association of Economists of Tamil Nadu during 2008.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the

students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for

improving the quality of the teaching-learning process?

The self-appraisals of the teachers of the self-finance wing are

evaluated by the external peers and incentives are given to improve the

teaching process. Appraisal process includes several required

parameters such as attending conferences, publication of papers, etc.

Teachers take cognizance of these metrics and contribute for the

effective teaching-learning process.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

61


2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the

institution especially students and faculty are aware of the

evaluation processes?

The general rules concerning the evaluation pattern are posted in our

University website. The Standing Committee on Academic Affairs

(SCAA) of the affiliating University communicates the evaluation

methods and the same is passed down to the students in the following

manner:

Orientation programme conducted for the freshers at the

beginning of the year.

All Departments conduct Department level freshers meet in

which the Head and other faculty give them details regarding

the examination norms, question paper pattern, mark, class and

grade awarding methods, grievance redressal mechanism, etc.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the

institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the

institution on its own?

The university introduced CIA system under CBCS pattern from 2008-

2009 onwards. A new system has been introduced by which a student

failed in one paper in the final semester can appear for the

supplementary examination within a month and the result will be

published shortly thereafter. This ensures the progression of students

towards further studies/ employment without interruption. Being an

affiliated one, the College scrupulously follows the collective wisdom

of the University.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the

evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the

institution on its own?

The schedule of CIA tests is communicated to the faculty and students

well in advance by incorporating the same in the teaching plan thereby

ensuring effective implementation of the CIA tests. As all the CIA tests

62


are conducted in a centralized pattern (common schedule for all the

students), it gives a sense of seriousness. Every department has a

faculty in charge of CIA tests who in turn coordinate with the

centralized team. The results are displayed on the notice boards and

communicated to the parents. Also, the institution allocates adequate

budget for stationary requirements.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation

approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few

examples which have positively impacted the system.

Individual teacher concentrates in the formative assessments and

continuously and comprehensively evaluating using CIA tests. At the

end, before the University examinations, a summative evaluation is

carried out and every student is thoroughly assessed. A few instances

of students getting the coveted University ranks evidence the positive

impact of formative and summative assessments.

2.5.5 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the

progress and performance of students through the duration of the

course/programme? Provide an analysis of the students

results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years)

and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement

across the programmes/courses offered.

The class-wise tutorial system takes care of progress monitoring. The

web-based result publication instantly reaches the students and their

parents. It is observed that students from science streams outperform

their counterparts in arts & humanities streams.

2.5.6 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years

and weightage assigned for the overall development of students

(weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning,

communication skills etc.)

Internal assessment tests are conducted on a common schedule for all

the students and all invigilators are on vigil, malpractices are totally

ruled out. Secrecy of the question paper is also ensured. The reduced

absenteeism during internal assessment tests is the testimonial.

The results of internal assessment tests are displayed in the notice

boards, so that students can know their standing. Evaluated answer

scripts are given to the students for making them aware of their

mistakes and collected back and kept in the department. Grievances, if

any, regarding the award of marks in the internal assessment can be

lodged with the department level grievance redressal committee

(DGRC) and to the College level grievance redressal committee

(CGRC).

Factors like independent learning and communication skills play only

an implicit role in their assignments and seminars. The University does

not explicitly mandate those parameters for the award of internal

assessment.

2.5.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use

assessment/evaluation as an indicator for evaluating student

performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning? If

‘yes’ provide details on the process and cite a few examples.

Yes, the institution uses internal assessment and university

examination-based evaluation as indicators for evaluating student

performance. It also partially speaks about the achievement of the

students. Job-market demand for the graduates is also taken as one of

the indicators of the teaching-learning process.

66


Based on these evaluations, students are grouped according to their

ability and buddy learning concept is implemented. For instance,

certain departments give additional problem solving skills through

solving Sudoku in their lunch hours for the students in the above

average group. They also have subscribed for English newspapers

through which they get additional learning avenues.

2.5.8 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with

reference to evaluation both at the college and University level?

There is a three-tier grievance redressal mechanism available to the

students for redressal of grievances in connection with CIA.

Department-level Grievance Redressal Committee (DGRC) with Head

of the Department as chairperson and three senior faculty of the

Department as members will address the grievances. College-level

Grievance Redressal Committee (CGRC) with Principal as the

chairperson and three heads of Departments as members will address

the unresolved grievances form DGRC. In case the grievance remains

unresolved, the student is at liberty to represent the same to the

University.

The University follows a transparent system and the students are

privileged to have a Photostat copy of their valued answer-scripts to

ascertain their performance. Besides, they are eligible to apply for

revaluation.

2.6 Student performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’

give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

Learning outcomes are clearly stated in the respective curricula

prescribed by the affiliating University. The students and staff get

access to them prior to the commencement of the course.

2.6.2 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the

67


institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended

learning outcomes?

Every teacher prepares the teaching plan dovetailing into the academic

calendar of the institution. This enables the teachers to plan the lecture

hours, practical hours and assessment test hours to achieve the learning

outcome.

2.6.3 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to

enhance the social and economic relevance (quality Jobs,

entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude) of the

courses offered?

Most of the courses offered are either job-oriented or have

entrepreneurial component embedded into them. A few add-on courses

and certificate courses fulfills the needs of generating employment

immediately. Tourism component is added to the History course.

Adding ICT related papers in the otherwise traditional courses like

M.Com. and B.Sc. Maths resulted in more employability. Project

work is made part of the syllabi for a few courses to kindle the

research aptitude and to nurture innovative ideas.

2.6.4 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student

learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers

of learning?

The end-semester examination results are analyzed at the department

level. Special coaching is provided to them on need basis to overcome

their difficulties.

2.6.5 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of

learning outcomes?

When the results are published, the heads of the department prepare a

consolidated report to gauge the performance of the students subject-

wise. If the performance deviates from the mean performance in other

subjects, it is brought to the notice of the staff concerned and he/she

68


takes appropriate corrective measures to mend the same.

2.6.6 What are the graduate-attributes specified by the college /

affiliating university? How does the college ensure the attainment

of these by the students?

The graduates of our institution imbibe certain moral values apart from

curricula prescribed knowledge. The uprightness and integrity are a

few virtues. The institution extends its extended arms to give the extra

input so as to turn them into a holistic personality as envisaged in the

mission statement.

Any other relevant information regarding Teaching-Learning and

Evaluation which the college would like to include.

Competent and experienced teachers, access to women and socially

disadvantaged groups, consistent academic performance, undisturbed

completion of all the working days are the hallmarks of the institution.

regularly funded outfits are synergistically planned by the respective

bodies and dovetailed with that of the teaching plan. For instance, NSS

has a duly constituted advisory body which meets once in a year to

chart out its annual regular and special camping activities.

The adhoc outreach programmes such as YSSP and ASTRA are

organized as and when the officiating body releases the grant for the

same. These programmes are carried out by faculties authorized by the

86


College Council. These coordinators are assisted by a team of advisory

officials and plan the scheduling and implementing the projects.

in the various programmes organized by those outfits. The

88


participation certificate carries value to the students when they go for

higher studies/employment.

Our faculty members are highly self-motivated and they involve

themselves in extension activities. The reward of enrolling the

students under their charge gives them utmost satisfaction. It further

helps them to have a close interaction with the students, which in turn

helps them to maintain the overall discipline in the campus.

Special on-duty permission is provided both to the staff and students

during their special camping activities.

140


conducts various orientation and awareness programmes for the

students on topics like Interview tips & Resume preparation,

motivation programme on higher studies, motivation programme on

army recruitments, etc. The institution organised career fairs during the

years, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013. The following table lists the number

Readymades, Kannan & Sangeetha group of companies, ICICI, HDFC

Standard Life Insurance, etc.

5.2.4 Enumerate the special support provided to students who are at risk

of failure and drop out?

The teachers provide necessary counselling who are at the risk of

failure. Academic counselling is provided by conducting extra classes

for the weak students.

The average of the total dropout rate during the last two years of the

UG students is 11.5% and that of the PG students is 4%. It will be

interesting to note that the actual dropout (out of the HE system) is

abysmally low, as most of the total dropouts are opting into other

avenues of higher education. The faculty members have formed Smart

association through which examination fees of about 50 economically

weaker and deserving students are paid every year. This helps to

141


reduce the dropouts considerably. The “earn while you learn” scheme

also helps to minimize the dropouts.

capitation fee. Due to the transparent admission policy, providing

146


access to socially under-privileged, and maintaining gender-equity,

the institution has carved out a niche in this region for merit

admission and for collecting only the prescribed fees as given in

the prospectus.

Eleven UG programmes, four PG programmes, one diploma

programmes, one PG diploma programme and 20 research

programmes are offered in self-financing stream.

The introduction of value education, human rights and environment

education in all the UG curricula helps to groom the students to

become good citizens. Moral and ethical values are also imbibed

through outfits like NCC, YRC, and spiritual forum.

Appointment of teachers is made in accordance with the prevailing

UGC and Government norms.

The number of M.Phil./Ph.D. registered and completed are on the

increasing trend.

To ensure gender equality, the college was converted into a co-

educational one in 1997 as a result of which the number of women

students exceeds that of men students.

Various outfits like career guidance and placement cell, Hindi

learning cell, training cell for competitive examinations,

entrepreneurial training cell, fine arts club, etc., strive to inject life

skills, entrepreneurial skills and to enhance employability. Three

career-oriented certificate courses also help the students to augment

their skills.

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in

design and implementation of its quality policy and plans?

147


The quality policy and plans of our institution are flowing from the top

on a top-down approach. The apex governing body – the College

Committee – sets the tone for the establishment of refined vision and

mission. The college council headed by the Principal translates the

shared vision into mission. Various departments are allocated with the

priority ladder assignments which will ultimately be dovetailed with

the mission. Thus everybody in the institution is made responsible for

the quality policy. The implementation is divided into annual, semi-

annual (semester-wise) and quarterly and the responsibilities are

assigned on to different groups.

6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring:

the policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the

stated mission

formulation of action plans for all operations and

incorporation of the same into the institutional strategic plan

Interaction with stakeholders

Proper support for policy and planning through need

analysis, research inputs and consultations with the

stakeholders

Reinforcing the culture of excellence

Champion organizational change

The Governing Council of the institution meets at least four times in a

year to take stock of the gaps in the planned goals and their

achievements. Policy corrections, if required, are discussed and sent

down for implementation. Suggestions given, if any, are also taken up

for discussion and if found to produce synergy, the same is adopted as

a policy decisions.

Suggestions received through the periodic meetings with alumni,

employers, University/Government authorities are also taken up for

framing the policy. For instance, based on employers’ suggestions, the

COP BECS have been introduced in order to uplift the ESL students.

148


A culture of excellence emphasizes standards and results/outcomes, as

well as staff development, self expression, contribution and

satisfaction. The team building and working in committees reinforces a

culture of excellence in the campus.

The top management believes in getting things done by proper

downward delegation of requisite authority so that the individual teams

with specific agenda are carried out the assigned task with the required

leeway.

6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and

evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective

implementation and improvement from time to time?

Planning precedes control. Accordingly, all planned policies are

periodically reviewed by the Governing Council.

6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by

the top management?

All the faculty members can decide on the selection of

books/equipments, pursuing research, attending conferences, availing

FIP leave, applying for grants, organizing conferences. Many need-

based FDPs with eminent resource persons are arranged to equip the

staff with the competencies required.

6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?

Every faculty member mandatorily serves in an assignment related to

academic /extra-curricular area. This also follows rotation thereby

every staff is made responsible. The conduct of CIA tests/model

examinations, conduct of Student Union and class representative

elections, coordinators of various outfits are cycled among the

members of the staff, and these are the few instances of grooming the

leadership.

149


6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide operational

autonomy to the departments / units of the institution and work

towards decentralized governance system?

The administration of the college has been suitable decentralized. The

college committee which is responsible for the overall development of

the campus entrusts the responsibility to the Principal. The academic

policies (preparing teaching plan, conduct of CIA tests, conduct of

guest-lectures/workshops, purchase of equipments, etc.,) evolved at the

college council are implemented by the Heads of department. The

Heads of the various department delegate several responsibilities to the

members of the faculty. Every faculty takes care of a few

responsibilities. In a similar fashion, the office administration also

percolates down the hierarchical order to ensure smooth and effective

functioning.

6.1.8 Does the college promote a culture of participative management?

If ‘yes’, indicate the levels of participative management.

Yes. The Management has empowered the Principal with regard to

academics and he, in turn, delegated the same to the heads of various

departments. The suggestions and feedback from the subordinate to

superior level are well-received and incorporated. This kind of working

develops a cohesive bonding and a congenial atmosphere in every

working team.

6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1 Does the Institution have a formally stated quality policy? How is

it developed, driven, deployed and reviewed?

We formally state our quality policy in our vision statement. The

and his team deploy the same throughout the institution and review

periodically.

150


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

give the aspects considered for inclusion in the plan.

management. Feedbacks and checklists ensure the adequacy of the

information.

6.2.6 How does the management encourage and support involvement of

the staff in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the

institutional processes?

Team-building and empowered teams are the cornerstones of bringing

6.2.11 Does the Institution have a mechanism for analyzing student

feedback on institutional performance? If ‘yes’, what was the

outcome and response of the institution to such an effort?

The College collects students’s feedback on their experience. A

comprehensive analysis has been made to distinguish resonance factors

from dissonance factors. The dissonance factors such as additional

retiring room, cycle shed and canteen facilities are attended to.

6.3 Faculty Empowerment Strategies

6.3.1 What are the efforts made by the institution to enhance the

professional development of its teaching and non teaching staff?

The institution organizes faculty development programmes by drawing

eminent academicians / seasoned HR trainers through the faculty

development cell. The list of such activities is listed in 2.4.3. The

154

encourages staff members to pursue research through FIP scheme of

UGC.

6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty

empowerment through training, retraining and motivating the

employees for the roles and responsibility they perform?

Apart from the faculty development programmes mentioned above, the

institution has a self-appraisal mechanism wherein the staff members

submit their self-appraisal documents twice a year which are evaluated

by a team of external experts. Based on their recommendations, cash

incentives are provided to the staff. This system is being followed for

several years. Non-academic assignments are allotted on a systematic

turn basis, enabling every staff member to enhance their experience.

6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to

evaluate and ensure that information on multiple activities is

appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.

The performance based self-appraisal system captures all activities and

it is based on the UGC model.

6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal

reports by the management and the major decisions taken? How

are they communicated to the appropriate stakeholders?

The outcome of the review of the performance based self-appraisals is

disclosed to every staff in a staff meeting. Based on the

recommendations of the external experts cash incentives are provided

to the staff. Common lacuna, if any, in the appraisal of all the staff

becomes the sprouting point of policy intervention. The stackholders

are communicated about the common lacuna and necessary corrective

steps to reinforce the common weaknesses are taken.

155


6.3.5 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 mandatory welfare schemes such as contributory provident fund,

medical insurance, employee health benefit are benefiting all the staff

members.

Preferential admission to wards of staff, considering wards of deceased

employees for appointment are also in vogue and there are

beneficiaries in the past.

Recognising staff members who have put in 25 years of service, co-

operative stores, bank, and post office are other welfare measures.

6.3.6 What are the measures taken by the Institution for attracting and

retaining eminent faculty?

Being a Governmet-aided institution, large pool of applicants is

attracted. As per the norms, the sponsoring State-Governmebt

employment exchange gives adequate number of registered job-

seekers. Also, the institution is issuing open-advertisements in leading

dailes to supplement the recruitment process.

The congenial atmosphere, research-savvy environment and caring

Management have made most of the appointed teachers to stay on till

their retirement.

In the self-financing wing, initial attractive salary and enriching job

environment draws good number of applications in the recruitment

process. Performance-based incentive system helps in the retention of

meritorious teachers.

156


6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1 What is the institutional mechanism to monitor effective and

efficient use of available financial resources?

The institution believes in collective wisdom and accordingly has

different committees and empowered teams to plan and execute the

various projects with financial outlays. UGC grants are spent through a

duly constituted committee comprising of heads and the Principal.

Various proposals for spending are justified to the committee by the

proposing departments and allocations and apportions are made by the

committee. All payments are made through check/DD payments after

due authorization from the user and the Principal. The college council

gets a due appraisal of the various allocations and also its usage which

ultimately ratifies the same.

The college council also approves the scientifically-designed apportion

mechanism for the non-salary grants such as library fees, student fees,

science fees, etc., based on the students’ strength for each

department/unit. Regular audit duly certifies the utilization and thus

ensures its effective deployment.

6.4.2 What are the institutional mechanisms for internal and external

audit? When was the last audit done and what are the major audit

objections? Provide the details on compliance.

The accounts of the institution are periodically subjected to both

internal and external audits. The external audit is from the Government

and the internal audit is appointed by the Management. The internal

auditing is undertaken on a quarterly basis whereas the statutory

external auditing is done on annual basis. The statutory audit was done

up to the financial year 2007-08 during 2011without any audit

objection.

6.4.3 What are the major sources of institutional receipts/funding and

how is the deficit managed? Provide audited income and

157


expenditure statement of academic and administrative activities of

the previous four years and the reserve fund/corpus available with

Institutions, if any.

The Government approved fees collected from the students, the

approved staff salary and Management contribution to the deficit

budget are the sources of income. Fees collected from students of the

self-financing programmes are also another source of income for the

college. The audited income and expenditure statements of the

previous years will be made available to the members of the peer

committee of NAAC during their visit.

6.4.4 Give details on the efforts made by the institution in securing

additional funding and the utilization of the same (if any).

The alumni belonging to the departments of History, Chemistry and

Business Management have channelized their contribution. Also,

efforts are on to tap further resources from the alumni.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

a. Has the institution established an Internal Quality

Assurance Cell (IQAC)? If ‘yes’, what is the institutional

policy with regard to quality assurance and how has it

contributed in institutionalizing the quality assurance

processes?

b. How many decisions of the IQAC have been approved by

the management/ authorities for implementation and how

many of them were actually implemented?

c. Does the IQAC have external members on its committee? If

so, mention any significant contribution made by them.

d. How do students and alumni contribute to the effective

functioning of the IQAC?

e. How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from

different constituents of the institution?

158


The college is in the process of establishing IQAC.

6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality

assurance of the academic and administrative activities? If ‘yes’,

give details on its operationalisation.

In the organization structure, the administrative and academic wings

are ultimately controlled by a unified authority – the Principal.

Therefore, both academic and administrative activities are well-

coordinated and integrated to achieve the quality aspects as envisaged

in the vision statement.

The operationalisation is taking shape through the meticulous

following of PDCA cycle. A strategic plan is developed for three years

at the apex level and budget provisions are worked out. By

benchmarking with that of the comparable neighbouring institutions,

implementation activities are worked within the budget. Faculty and

administrative members review the progress and ensure effective

implementation by getting the necessary feedback from the

stakeholders.

6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective

implementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If ‘yes’, give

details enumerating its impact.

Quality is always teamwork and it is not by accident. With this

assumption, the institution always believes in the training and

development of its teaching and non-teaching faculty so as to have the

required quality assurance mechanism. Various staff-development

programmes, deputation to NAAC-sponsored quality related

programmes, enhancing ICT application in administrative avenues are

a few instances. The overall impact is highly satisfactory and hence the

practice needs to be continued.

6.5.4 Does the institution undertake Academic Audit or other external

159


review of the academic provisions? If ‘yes’, how are the outcomes

used to improve the institutional activities?

The academic audit is done internally and it is a regular phenomenon.

The unitized syllabi with the specified workload allocation get

completed and it is ensured by the respective subject teacher. Heads of

the respective departments assure the same.

The performance in the CIA tests is reviewed for every student at

constant intervals and corrective measures such as special class, re-

exams are carried out.

The research committee encourages the members of faculty to apply

for major/minor projects. The Principal collects semester-wise results

of all the departments and placed before the college council.

6.5.5 How are the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with

the requirements of the relevant external quality assurance

agencies/regulatory authorities?

The quality assurance mechanism developed to measure the internal

quality aspects of the institution are so designed to dovetail with that of

the NAAC assessment and accreditation council’s process. This will

help us to go for the post-accreditation process with much ease.

6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review

the teaching learning process? Give details of its structure,

methodologies of operations and outcome?

Over the period of time, an informal mechanism had been established

with student participation to review the TL process. It is discreet and

sometimes disguised. The heads and senior faculty help in

channelizing the suggestions to the Principal and take effective steps in

correcting the shortcoming, if any, reported. Faculty meeting at the

department level and the staff council meeting are used to review the

TL process. The feedbacks from the students also help in this aspect.

160


6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance

policies, mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and

external stakeholders?

The institution heavily relies upon mixed channel to communicate its

QA policies and practices. The notice-board, the Principal’s mandatory

presidential address in the various association meetings, class-wise

circulated circulars and web-presence are the various channels used.

The word-of-mouth communication is the means of reaching the other

stake-holders at large.

Any other relevant information regarding Governance Leadership

and Management which the college would like to include.

Scrupulous adherence to statutory provisions: This can be

evidenced from the number of teachers as well as students hailing

from the socially disadvantaged sector.

Autonomy in its administrative and academic functioning: The

Principal and the Council deliberate and take decisions with regard

to the academic and administrative matters.

Teamwork is the hallmark (team formation and empowering the

team): Most of the works (conduct of model exam, elections, etc.)

are handled by empowered teams.

=====

CRITERION VII

INNOVATIONS & BEST PRACTICES

161


Criteria VII: Innovations and Best Practices

7.1. Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and

facilities?

The Enviro club of the college takes care of the making the campus

verdant by planting saplings every year. The saplings are watered on a

weekly basis by the NSS, YRC and Enviro Club volunteers. The

campus has about 400 trees and the Enviro Club ensures that the

number increases year after year by planting 20 saplings every year.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the College to make the College

eco-friendly?

Energy conservation

Use of renewable energy

Water harvesting

Check dam construction

Efforts for Carbon neutrality

Plantation

Hazardous waste management

E-waste management

Energy Conservation: Students are educated to switch off the fans

and lights when they leave the hall. Fluorescent bulbs are used in place

of incandescent bulbs to save energy.

Use of renewable energy: The College has plans to captivate solar

energy in future.

Water Harvesting: As per the directives from the Government of

Tamilnadu, the institution has constructed rain-water harvesting pits in

every building. These pits help to preserve the ground-water level.

Check-dam construction: No check-dam facility is available in the

campus.

162


Efforts for carbon neutrality: Targeting a 5—10% increase in

sapling ensures carbon neutrality by balancing the additional emissions

from the automobiles. Regular plantation of saplings and maintenance

of the same in the campus achieves carbon-neutrality.

Plantation: The College has a coconut grove and various past

droughts have reduced its strength.

Hazardous waste Management: The students are well-educated to

minimize the use of plastics in their day-to-day life. The College has

two types of garbage bins: Green one for biodegradable waste and the

other Red one for non-degradable waste. The biodegradable waste is

heaped in the campus and they are used as manure for the trees. The

non-degradable waste was promptly collected by the Corporation for

recycling.

E-wastage Management: The e-wastes like empty toners cartridges,

outmoded computers and electronic items were sold as scrap, ensuring

their safe recycling.

7.2. Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years

which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the

college.

The admission process was computerised and a single window type of

counselling process is adopted instead of merit lists I, II and III. This

new method was well-received by the students and parents and helped

in arresting the merit-drain to the neighbouring institutions.

.

7.3 Best Practices

Elaborate on any two best practices which have contributed to the

Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

163


1. DISTRIBUTION OF MERIT PRIZES TO STUDENTS

GOAL: To inspire a competitive mentality and to motivate the

students to secure more marks than his/her peers in the vicinity in the

University Examinations. This will indirectly motivate the students to

get University Ranks in the Examinations.

OPERATION: Immediately after the publication of the University

Examination results, a list of students who have secured 75% and more

marks is drawn as eligible candidates for this scheme. Cash prizes are

distributed to them in a grand ceremony. UG students are given `500

each and PG students are given `750 each as cash prize. The merit

prize is instituted and sponsored by the management. College

organizes separate functions every semester with eminent

academicians such as vice- chancellors for the Merit Prize distribution

with the presence of parents. In that function, University Rank holders

are also felicitated and Certificate of Merit are also issued to the

students.

EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: Merit prize scheme was started in the

year 2004. The beneficiaries of the scheme are in the increasing trend

in every semester as shown in the following table.

Year

No. of students in the

Even semester

(April) Exam

Odd semester

(Novem.) Exam

2004 49 92

2005 101 143

2006 112 179

2007 127 182

2008 115 202

2009 141 254

2010 233 271

2011 199 266

164


This, in turn, helped in sustaining the momentum in achieving coveted

University Ranks. On an average, the College gets 25 University

Ranks every year.

Problem Encountered: Equitable distribution of the prizes among the

students of Science and arts streams is not possible.

2. GUEST LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS

Guest lectures and workshops are conducted by all the departments to

enrich the students’ knowledge.

GOAL: To equip the students with the current and practical

knowledge; to enhance the presentation skill of the students.

THE OPERATION: Every department is mandated to organize three

guest lectures and workshops in each semester by drawing eminent

academicians/industry experts as resource persons. These programmes

are planned in advance so as to optimize the resources without

duplication and benefitting the most. All these activities are week-end

activities without disturbing regular academic schedule.

2012 178 243

165


EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: The feedbacks received from the

students encourage the continuance of the scheme. Earnestly it is

expected that the employability and industry-readiness will increase.

PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:

Ensuring 100% presence poses problems since it is a week-end

programme.

various industries, business, insurance banking and marketing sectors are invited

to freely interact with the students. This forum lessens the gap between theory and

practice. The activities of this forum are totally organized by the student volunteers

with prior sanctioning from the department.

trips and Industrial visits.



activities

All students participate in

members served as NSS Programme

Officers and one faculty member

served as NCC Care-taker.


Strength: Leeway to organize industry institution interaction programme for the

last ten years.

Alumni Book Club (ABC) with more than 1000 books for the benefit of students.

All the students invariably subscribe to any one of the English dailies.

Weakness:Research contributions of faculty should be enhanced by increasing

publishing and guiding.

Value based education should be provided to the students.

Opportunity: Market needs industry-ready graduates.

Challenge: Gradual deterioration of the input quality.

Future Plans: An exclusive forum – TEA (Talent Enhancing Activities), to be

started keeping the market opportunity in mind.

Strength:

All the faculty members are experienced and Ph.D. holders specializing in

different fields.

The department is organizing UGC add-on course on Office Management for the

past four years.

The department is the first recognized research centre for guiding M.Phil. and

Ph.D. programmes outside the Bharathiar University.

Produced more than 40 Ph.D.s since 1997.

Weakness:

Modern teaching aids like smartboards are not available for effective teaching-

learning process.

Many teaching vacancies are yet to be filled.

Opportunity:

Providing extra coaching to enhance communication skills and problem-solving

skills for better employability.

Providing personal counselling to students to overcome their problems.

Challenge:

Competition from self-financing colleges in the near vicinity.

Most of the students are first-generation graduates from government schools and

they find it difficult to cope with the change in the medium of instruction.

Future Plans:

Practical in Campus Training on Statistical Packages (SPSS) to be given to the

M.Phil. and Ph. D. scholars.

Placement Training for the final year UG and PG students.

Workshops, Seminars at National Level are to be conducted.

activities

Our Faculty Ms.C.Malarvizhi

served as NSS Programme Officer.


Strength:

The five-year average pass percentage of the programme is above 90%.

About 75% of the students are placed in IT companies.

The department adopts student-centric teaching-learning process (seminars,

workshops, bulletins, aptitude development programmes, etc.)

Weakness: Most of the students are from economically weaker sections from

remote villages.

Opportunity:

The placement percentage can be improved by conducting rigorous placement

training programmes and by arranging for campus recruitments.

Challenge: Competition from engineering colleges.

Future Plans:

To organize special courses to enhance the soft skills and technical skills of the

students to increase the placement percentage. This will in turn increase the

number of applications for this programme.

To concentrate more on research activities by the faculty and students.
