2.5 EVALUATION PROCESS AND REFORMS

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the Stakeholders of the institution especially

students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

Through the prospectus which is updated annually and the orientation programme held

at the beginning of every academic year, students and their parents get updated on the

process of evaluation. The notice boards and circulation of notices in class along with

announcements by staff members help make the students aware of the process.

The concerned teacher would explain the students in the beginning of the academic

year itself about the process of evaluation. Internal examinations, half-yearly

examinations would make the students aware of the process before they appear final

examinations. The previous question papers and model papers are supplied to the

students. The University is implementing advanced supplementary evaluation method

for final year students who have failed in single subject.

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?

• University introduced ruled papers instead of white papers in end examination

booklets to make writing easier for the students.

• College encouraged students to write notes in ruled books to make students

convenient in end exams.

• University introduced weightage for internal examination for 25 marks in each

subject and 75 marks for external exams.

• College would conduct two sessional exams for award of 25 marks by taking the

best marks out of two exams.

• University conducts external examination in each subject for 75 marks.

• To bring uniformity in evaluation in scripts by fresh recruits, the scripts are

scrutinized by seniors randomly and anomalies are pointed out to them.

• Special tests for slow learners.

• More assignments are given for practice.

• Answer sheets of the Internal Tests are shown to students and discussed to ensure

no partiality or favoritism has crept into evaluation and thus, they are accorded

opportunity to check total score and impartial evaluation of their answers as well.

• The students would be informed the mistakes committed by them and guided to

improve their performance in next examinations.

Self Study Report


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?

We are affiliated to the Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa and so have to implement

the policies laid down by the University. The evaluation process and reforms are

implemented through various committees like Exam Committee, IQAC, and Grievance

Cell. The time-table for the examination is displayed on the notice board. The Principal

oversees the process of implementation.

The students will not be allowed to bring any material inside the examination room.

• Laboratories are equipped with more than adequate equipment recommended by

the university. The list of equipment is shown in Annexure-XI.

• Students are encouraged to do practicals individually.

• On first week practical demo would be given to students for better understanding

of the practical.

• List of practicals would be framed in a lab manual for better understanding.

• For practical examinations as per the regulations of University internal

examination is conducted for practical in odd semesters (I, III & V) for 50 marks

and for even semesters (II, IV & VI) external examination would be conducted by

the university by appointing external examiners and 50 marks would be divided

according to weightage as follows :

• Experiment --- 60%

• Record --- 20%

• Viva voce --- 20%

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted

to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively

impacted the system?

• All the Courses are non-autonomous and hence are governed by the Yogi Vemana

University. Internal Assessment Test carries 20 Marks and External 80 Marks.

• Every student is to appear for the Unit Test conducted monthly. This provides them

with an effective feedback about their understanding of the subject.

• Under the Annual Examination System, monthly examinations are conducted in

August, September, November and Half-yearly exams are conducted in December.

In February / March Pre-final Examinations are conducted. Under the present

Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), in the Semester, two internal exams are

conducted besides assignments, seminars and attendance. The examination system

acts as revision to the students for understanding the subject and it gives

confidence to them to appear for the final examinations.

• Special classes are arranged for slow learners.

Self Study Report


• Students are also assessed on the basis of home assignments, viva-voice, practical,

students.

• Seminar etc.

• Summative evaluation:

• The students are evaluated at the end of every academic session by the University.

The examination pattern is as follows

• Part-I : 3 Hours paper of 75 marks for all Languages Papers.

• Part-II : 2 Hours paper of 50 marks for Foundation Course.

• Part-III : 3 Hours Paper of 75 marks for each group subject + Practical exam for

B.Sc.

CSSR & SRRM Degree & P.G. College stresses on the moral fiber of the students and

to this end we try to mould our students to become responsible citizens of the

community by providing them with the required skills like self reliance and skills in

communication, coordination, planning, management, academic writing and

presentation skills are also expected by the students so that they can undertake any

career that demands these skills. All these skills develop the personality and outlook of

the students and generate in them a social orientation to help in the upliftment of the

under-privileged, promoting harmony and gender sensitization and to live in peace and

harmony with people of all faiths. All the activities of the departments and the College

are designed with this aim.

To ensure that these attributes are attained by our students we have various

he/she is not satisfied with the marks given in the internal assessment test. The student

can seek clarification from the teacher concerned. If not satisfied, the student may

appeal to the Principal. Grievance Cell examines the grievances and ensures justice to

the student. In cases of grievances pertaining to end academic examination there is a

provision for revaluation and personal verification of the answer script as per the

university norms. The grievance cell looks into the complaints about valuation and

takes necessary measures to redress them.

CRITERION-VII

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

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

Yes, the institution has conducted green audit of its campus and facilities the institute

has very lush green campus. The Horticulture Section of the institute is responsible to

maintain the lawns, fruit orchard, and other areas. The environment consciousness is

enshrined in the mission of the college and tree plantation is the major concern of the

management to maintain the immaculate cleanliness and beauty of the college to

provide an amiable atmosphere for the academic and non-academic pursuits. The head

of institution inspect the campus facilities along with the maintenance engineer and

grade. In-charge regularly to ensure the green campus. In response to the clarion call

by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Sri. Narendra Modi, the Swach Bharath Abhiyan was

launched at our college.

However the NSS and Eco-club of the college give their best efforts for a green

campus.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

� Energy conservation

The college itself is located in the midst of greenery. The construction of the

college buildings are eco-friendly. Awareness is created among the students and

staff about conservation of energy and its importance. As classes are held in the

day time, students and staff are asked to use minimum electricity.

� Use of renewable energy

The college is planning to switch over to solar energy in the years to come.

� Water harvesting

Our college campus has two water harvesting pits. The stored water will be used to

water the trees and plants in the campus which helps to keep the campus eco

friendly.

� Check dam construction

The college is located in a rural area with plenty of greenery. There is no water

problem and no scope for construction of check dam.

� Efforts for Carbon neutrality The college campus is full of greenery with tall trees which neutralize the carbons.

Proper measures have been taken to reduce carbon emission to keep the campus,

pollution-free and uncontaminated. The institution buses fetch the students to the

college and avoid their use of individual vehicles. The College buses and other

vehicles are checked by the RTO regularly. The other buses are forbidden to enter

the college premises. Carbon emission is minimized and neutralized by planting a

Self Study Report


variety of trees and kitchen gardens has contributed to carbon neutrality in the

campus, fly ash bricks are used in constructions. The dead leaves and waste papers

are not to be allowed to be put on fire. They are reused as compost manure for the

trees. The institution has taken up preventive measures to check the emission of

carbon-dioxide.

� Plantation

There is thick plantation in and around the college. Plantation programme is under

taken at regular intervals through NSS and Eco-club in the college premises and

also in the premises of certain Government offices, Hospitals, Temples and orphan

houses.

� Hazardous waste management

As the college is located in a rural area, no hazardous wastes are found in the

premises. Removal of waste plants and bushes is done with the help of NSS

volunteers and other student from time to time. The students of NSS Units collect

scrap materials like plastics, effluents of chemistry lab in the college and dump it in

an appropriate place.

� E-waste management

Since, it is an institution located in rural area and run by Private management, e-

waste, if any, will be disposed without much hurdle in a safe place.

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.

• Classes in communicative English have been introduced to increase the

Communication skills and employability skills of the students.

• In the year 2015, the college conducted an interaction session called “Purva

Vidyartula Apurva Kalayika” with the former students of this college (Since the

year of establishment in1992 to 2014).

• The final year students are trained in various soft skills and job oriented coaching

by “Smart YUVA”.

• During the academic year 2016-17, introduced an add on course for women

students welfare. A certificate course started for women students in tailoring. After

improving the student’s inter personal/ intra personal skills.

7.3 BEST PRACTICES

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no.98, which have

contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/ or contributed

to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

Self Study Report


Following are the two best practices which created a positive impact on the students

learning capacity.

First Practice:

Title of the Practice: “Student Counseling and Student Learning”

1. Objectives of the Practice: a) To reduce the rate of dropouts through ward counseling.

b) To improve the pass percentage of the students and participation in various

academic activities.

Goal: To provide education for the advancement of knowledge and skills through

counseling.

1. The context: • In our college most of the students are from a typical rural background. Due to

their poor Socio-economic background some of the students are doing part time

jobs to assist the family financially.

• As their family conditions are not helpful to attend the college regularly, they

are being forced to be irregular and become dropouts. But acquiring the higher

qualification is essential for them to get better employment opportunity.

• Our college is the only Private Unaided Degree College in the Mandal with a

good teacher-student ratio of 1: 40/50.

• The ward counseling system is adopted to convince the irregular students and

their parents and explain them of the importance of attending the classes for the

success in the examinations.

2. The Practice: • In the Ward System adopted by us, every faculty member is in-charge of a

class/ section and they collect total information of the students through ward

counseling sheets which are filled in and submitted by the students themselves.

• The faculty member consolidates the individual sheets which contains the

findings during the course of the year.

• The lecturer in-charge will be in touch with the students, understand their

actual problem and identify the reasons of the problem, their worries, stress and

strain.

• The faculty members are playing the role of mentors to interact with the

students and advise them how to overcome the minor domestic problems which

helps them to attend the college and concentrate on their studies. This improved

the pass percentage ultimately.

Self Study Report


• The career Guidance Cell and the college arrange personality development

classes to all the students. Venus Skills Training Academy, Kadapa in

association with the department of English provides technical as well as

communication skill training to the students.

3. Evidence of Success • Due to this practice, numbers of dropouts were reduced to a considerable extent

resulting in a healthy and conducive atmosphere and good rapport between the

faculty member and his ward. The attendance percentage and performance in

the exam are improved.

• Students enthusiastically participated in Field trips to various places like RTPP,

Somasila Project, Village Cottage industries (Basket weaving), Horticulture

farm, and Agriculture farm to get hands on experience.

• They have also participated in various Co-curricular and extracurricular

activities which enable them to do their study projects.

4. Problems encountered and Resources required: • Making the students to attend the college regularly and completing the syllabus

and making them participate in various curricular activities.

• It will definitely make a difference if the lecturers can overcome their rigidity

by developing love, sympathy and soft corner towards the student community.

Second Practice:

Title of the Practice “Service to Human is Service to God”

1. Objectives of the Practice: a) To modulate the students to be good citizens of the society.

b) To inculcate best qualities and contribute to personality development of the

student.

2. Goal:

a) To help to the best of our ability the helpless and the needy especially

children and orphans by providing food and clothes.

3. The Context:

People with folding hands in temple yards, busy platform and rush traffic is not

an uncommon scene for a student on his/ her way to college. Similarly misery

in the slums, poverty in the village, and starvation under the open sky is quite

thought provoking for the young minds.

Proposal had been muted to initiate something remarkable before we toyed

upon the idea of “Service to man is Service to god”. In the same line, it has

been decided to take up some philanthropic initiatives seriously.

Self Study Report


4. The Practice:

In this mission both the Staff, Students and college management are involved

and volunteers of NSS and NCC are selected to be part of this activity. The

materials are collected on the occasion of student birthday, National festivals,

local festivals, Children’s day and any special occasions. The food and clothes

so collected are distributed in orphanages and old age homes. This is a

continuous practice in our institution.

5. Evidence of Success:

The mission is to develop and imbibe the spirit of love, kindness and to develop

a sense of team spirit. In this context, we are successful in motivating the

students.

• Understand poverty and deprivation

• To develop a sense of co-operation.

• To build problem solving capacity.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources requires

• Problem in participation on holidays

• Problem of transportation

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:

Strengths:

� Men are in demand for computer based Commerce/ business knowledge.

� Well qualified and experienced faculty, Ph.D (Research) faculty is strength of

the department.

� Reference books, Text books are available for the students and the faculty

� The Commerce stream holds more prominence in the Job world. Hence, more

students are attracted to commerce or management studies.

Weakness:

� Curricular of B. Com and M.Com Courses are teaching intensive rather than

research oriented though there is a Project Report and Viva voice in the IV Sem

of M. Com.
