APPENDICES

THE BEST PRACTICES

BEST PRACTICE - I

1. TITLE OF THE PRACTICE

SPICES - STUDENTS‟ PLATFORM FOR INNOVATIVE & CRETIVE

EDUCATIONAL SKILLS

2. Goal

Describe the aim of the practice followed by the institution. Mention the underlying

principles or concepts in about 100 words.

The Main aim of the practice is to hone the creative skills of our students and to evoke

team spirit.

Effective teaching and learning cannot take place only in poorly managed activities.

Under SPICES we have a small group management for the overall development of the

students. Small group management includes a leisurely activity, which enables the

student to participate freely and effectively in curricular activities. The activities include

fruitful practices.

3. The context

Describe any particular contextual features or challenging issues that have had to be

addressed in designing and implementing the Practice in about 150 words.

If an institution is to resort only to class room teaching, that would only distance students

farther. Monotonous drudgery will prevail. Whereas the outside world offers a variety of

entertainment, students would dread just sitting in classrooms turning sick listening to

humdrum lectures. Of course, teachers do play various roles in typical classrooms, but

surely one of the most important factors is that of a classroom management.

Many of the young minds are very creative. Exposed to a number of modern high-tech

gadgets, students are versed in deriving pleasures by themselves. If classroom learning is

not pleasurable, they would tend to miss classes and perform lesser. On the other hand if

we expose them to activity hubs of their interest, they might not want to miss any of such

opportunities. The need to have a platform to make students pro-active hence became the

need of the hour.


4. The Practice

Describe the Practice and its implementation in about 400 words. Include anything

about this practice that may be unique in the Indian higher education. Please also

identify constraints or limitations, if any.

We have established SPICES (Somani students’ Platform for innovative and

creativeEducational Skills), wherein students are provide with multiple opportunities to

actively involve in supportive learning exercises. The platform allows students to gain

abilities to organize events and they are exposed to leadership training, personality

development, group activities and speaking skills.

Here, learning and assessment take place in small groups. Each class is dividing into

smaller groups according to its strength and each group is entrusted to the care of more

than one teacher who monitors, counsels and creates learning opportunities for the

students. Each group also elects a leader of its choice. The leaders of these groups

constitute the student assembly and they take the lead in organizing and carrying out

various curricular, co-curricular and supportive activities of the college.

Two or more activities are then assigned to each of the small groups. Groups being small,

all student members get opportunities to participate in the organization and execution of

these activities. This will help students to synergize their innate talents with the demands

of the civilized world. In the platform, the students are also constantly mentored. The

teacher who is entrusted with a small group acts as the mentor of the group. Periodical

interaction with parents and regular interaction with the students in their group have

helped the mentors to provide the administration with needed inputs to make right

decisions to improve quality. In SPICES, each student is given one more opportunity to

learn supportive learning skills and each teacher will have one more responsibility. Thus,

the student during his six semester program will study at least 4-6 different topics as

Add- on papers, this program is insulated with vocational skills as well. Finally along

with the degree that the student gets, he also will have more certifications on various

supportive learning acts, empowering him to be competitive in the job market.

The small group activity will also provide a creative platform for the student to exhibit

his latent talent. Be it in event management or compering skills, or acting skills, a

adventure sports, the various club activities of the college will provide an opportunity for

the student to exhibit his innate talent.

Students are represented in academic administrative and co-curricular activity hubs. The

larger representatives of the students in the various committees and clubs will ensure

participation democracy and free flow of information among the Stakeholders. The

College does not believe in hierarchical representational mode but on the functional

participation of each student here.

5 Evidence of Success


Provide evidence of success such as performance against targets and benchmarks

and review results. What do these results indicate? Describe in about 200 words.

Earlier each class was entrusted to the care of a teacher for the purpose of mentoring.

Individual attention could not be given because of high student ratio. Mentoring has

become more effective after this practice was introduced. Students enjoyed being part of

small groups especially when they got involved in carrying out responsibilities assigned

to them. Team spirit increased. Interaction with teachers increased. Teachers get to know

them well enough. Specific problems faced by each individual could be identified and

appropriate counsels given.

The small group management encourages our students in active learning that foster

deeper understanding. It also encourages student to work independently. Students acquire

all the social mannerisms and they are afforded opportunities to determine whether they

can face further challenges.

Teachers encourage students to take full benefit of the Add-on courses and certificate

courses offered by the college. Reinforcements exercises are provided for slow learners.

Students gain proficiency in organising events as they are exposed to such exercises.

Interaction with parents has helped teachers to take necessary steps to help students

according to his need. Some students who have been introverts by nature have changed

their attitude and associate freely with other students and teachers. Such confidence

would help them prepare for the real world. Leadership qualities of the students have also

enhanced. The feedback sheets we have collected from students exemplify the functional

aspects of SPICES.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required. Please identify the problems

encountered and resources (Financial, Human and other) required to implement

the practice in about 150 words.

As is expected of any change, there will always be resistance. This was one of the major

challenges faced by the IQAC in introducing and executing this creative best practice.

The reason was obvious. Faculty could not simply understand the impact the practice

could evoke and the effectiveness it could produce. Disinterest on the part of the students

was another challenge. Once practice was put into motion, the response although gradual,

slowly gained momentum.

BEST PRACTICE - 2


1. Title of the Practice

THE CONTINOUS ASSESSEMENT PROGRAM

2. Goal

Describe the aim of the practice followed by the institution. Mention the underlying

principles or concepts in about 100words.

We want to convert out students into “High quality Employable and Responsible

Citizens” of the country. That is the very aim or goal of this practice. The university

requires a student to write at least two assignments and take one unit test. However this

would not result in a continuous assessment system which is the need of the hour. Hence

the introduction of this practice.

3. The context

Describe any particular contextual features or challenging issues that have had to be

addressed in designing and implementing the Practice in about 150 words.

Evaluation is the best tool to weigh the capability of the students and that too a

continuous evaluation programme. A continuous evaluation programme must include

many components, one after the other evaluating the performance, helping students to

improve their performance and enhance learning. They need guidance based on their

performance. The main goal of our college is to transform the students into well-meaning

citizens through the committed pattern of instructions based on carefully prepared and

well-designed curriculum of the University. We aim to bring enormous changes in the

quality perceptions of the students. The students also need to be given writing

assignments to improve their writing skills and knowledge levels. In this context, the

practice of continuous evaluation is implemented in order to improve the skill level of a

student in a subject and to make them know how much he or she has been thorough.

Based on evaluation the students are given extra guidance in the subject of their

respective specialization in particular.

4. The Practice

Describe the Practice and its implementation in about 400 words. Include anything

about his practice that may be unique in the Indian higher education. Please also

identify constraints or limitations, if any

The college has introduced an effective continuous Assessment Programme, through

which the performance of the students are evaluated regularly and periodically,

Individual teachers have the primary responsibility to evaluate the performance of the

students on a day to day basis. The evaluation programme includes unit tests,

Compulsory Assignment Writing, Presentations at Seminars, Group Discussions, and

preparatory Examinations at the end of each semester and VIVA VOCE for the Final year

students. The Academic Committee and the continuous Assessment Committee shall

prepare the schedule for the evaluation programmes.


The Preparatory Examinations are conducted in the same manner as the University

Semester Examinations and question papers are set by teachers in the same model as that

of the University examinations. After the conduct of the Preparatory Examinations

teachers evaluate the answer papers and allot marks. This in turn is discussed with

students of the respective classes handled by each individual teacher. While the

Academic Calendar includes the schedule for Preparatory Examinations and VIVE

VOCE, all other elements of the assessment programme are carried out by the individual

teachers according to their own schedules. The evaluation results are entered into

consolidated results sheets, distributed to each teachers. This forms the basis for the

„Internal Assessment‟ marks obtained by the students. Teachers usually take the signature

of the students on these sheets according to their convenience, during interactive sessions

and give adequate suggestions for improvement.

5. Evidence of Success

Provide evidence of success such as performance against targets and benchmarks

and review results. What do these results indicate? Describe in about 200 words.

The college adopts both Formative & Summative methods of evaluation. Formative

approach involves measuring the performance of students through the Continuous

Assessment System throughout the academic curriculum. The assessment system

established by the college has been instrumental in helping students improve their

performance progressively. Summative evaluation is carried out towards the end of each

semester. Preparatory examinations and VIVA VOCE conducted towards the end of the

semester by the college and semester end final examinations conducted by the University.

Both systems have had a positive impact on the progress of students studying in the

college. The Best Example is seen in the RESULTS of students. We have witnessed a

progressive improvement in the results of the students. During majority of the past

academic years, results in the final year of all disciplines/ Programmes (BA, B.Com. &

BBM) were better than the first and second years. This shows that a student progresses

towards better quality levels as he reaches the final year, due to training and orientation

received during the previous two years.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required.

Please identify the problems encountered and resources (Financial, Human and

other) required to implement the practice in about 150 words.


The system requires students to be continuously involved in their learning exercises. The

practice has to be forced upon the students as there is much reluctance to undergo such

rigorous drills, especially because their peers in other colleges in the nearby surroundings

do not have similar hard work. What the student may not understand is the tremendous

positive effect the programme can have on their learning patterns.
