EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The institution has a vision of being a centre of excellence renowned for its quality. It provides quality

education to aspiring younger generation through the best of teaching and learning opportunities. It

values with soft skills and job skills. At present college offers UG courses in B.A., B.Sc., B. Com.,

B.B.M and PG courses in History and Economics. The college is affiliated to Bangalore University.

In 2007 college was started with B.A. with five combinations, B. Com., and B.B.M courses. The

B.Sc. course with three combinations was introduced in 2010-2011 and PG courses in History and

Economics in the academic year 2012-13. In the year 2015-16 a new combination in B.A. i.e. History,

Journalism and optional English was introduced. The University provides curriculum and academic

calendar. Based on this, each department prepares its own academic time table consisting of teaching

sessions, internal assessments, assignments, seminars and other activities. Departmental time tables

are integrated to college time table. The institution ensures quality teaching through its performance

appraisal and student feedback of teachers which are taken once a year. The college has the required

physical infrastructure to facilitate teaching and learning process. The curriculum is revised regularly

by the affiliating university. During the year 2014-2015, university introduced Choice Based Credit

System (CBCS) for all its courses. This scheme requires students to participate in co-curricular

activities. Students are assessed for their participation in NSS, Sports, and Culture.

Criterion II: Teaching - Learning and Evaluation

The Curriculum of the University is in conformity with the national goals of higher education namely-

Expansion, Equity and Excellence. In the beginning of the year, freshers are oriented about the

facilities available in the college and university regulations about the courses. Participatory teaching

methods like, tests, assignments, seminars and student projects are a part of teaching and learning

The quality of teaching-learning processes is monitored and evaluated through student feedback on

teachers. Teachers are selected through Karnataka Public Service Commission by following UGC

guidelines. To meet the shortage of teaching faculty, guest lecturers are appointed based on merit by

the department of collegiate education. To enhance the teaching quality, the institution persuades the

faculty to attend various training and faculty development programmes. ‘On duty leave’ facility is

available to the faculty attending seminars/workshops. Faculty are encouraged to take up research

work, publish papers and books. Significant reforms have been introduced by the affiliating university

in student evaluation process; the same has been adopted by the college. The major evaluation reforms

of the university include breakup of internal marks for tests, assignments and attendance.

Transparency is ensured by displaying the internal marks on the notice board. Grievances related to

evaluation is redressed at institutional and university levels. To enhance the social and economic

relevance of the courses offered, steps have been taken to introduce skill development programmes.

There is a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and student profile annually.

The Admission Committee and the Principal of the College review the admission process from time

to time. IQAC facilitates continuous learning because of which, the College now follows the single

window admission process.The Profile of every student is recorded in the Admission Register, which

provides space for students background related to caste/religion/sub-caste, socio-economic

background, family background, details of parents’ economic status etc. The profile details help the

institution to chalk out strategies for student welfare measures and academic support systems.The

student profile helps IQAC to plan its activities and draw appropriate strategies.College strictly

adheres to reservation policy of state and central government with regard to admission of SC/ ST/OBC

students to higher educational institutions and achieves the goal of inclusion. The proactive policy of

the college in this regard is reflected in admissions of the college where the number of SC/ ST /OBC

students admitted is more than the reservation quota fixed by government. The college fee structure

is fixed by the government keeping in mind the requirements of poor and socially deprived sections

of society. SC/ ST/OBC students are given fee concessions and scholarships which are intended to

increase their access to higher education. As a government institution, the college follows a proactive

policy towards differently-abled students. All the eligible differently-abled students are given

admission with applicable fee concessions. At present there are nine differently-abled students in the

college. The institution provides separate examination hall, extra one hour to write university

examination, puts green stickers as identification mark on the answer booklets of blind as per

government policy. The academic performance of the students is monitored by class mentors (class

teachers)on regular basis. The mentors take care of attendance, performance in tests and assignments.

They also interact with students to discuss their social, economic and personal issues and try to find

solutions so that students should not discontinue their studies. Sincere efforts and counselling by

respective mentors, teachers have helped most our students to continue their studies. As most of the

enrolled students are from rural area and they belong to socio-economically weaker sections of

society. Poverty and family responsibilities come in the way of students perusing higher studies. Girl

students often drop out due to marriage proposals and their being got married at home. Married girls

are counselled to handle the social complexities and supported with study material to pursue their studies

without any hindrances. The women cell, AVVA organizes meetings for lady teachers- married girl student

interactions. Tuition fee waiver has boosted many girl students to drop the idea of discontinuing the study.

being made to promote research culture and encourage student research with the help of the Research

Committee. Institution has three teachers who are recognized as Research guides by Bangalore

9. The Context: Bangalore city is called the garden city. The Yelahanka region where the

college is situated is a part of new expansion, the satellite town. This township has more

than fifty parks, a unique in Bangalore city. Because of uncontrolled urbanization, the city is

getting polluted. The Swatch Bharat Abhiyan by Hon. Prime Minister of India is a

motivating initiative. All these concerns made the institution to have a model campus which

is clean and green. Teachers, NSS volunteers, Eco-club volunteers, Botany students are

actively involved in creation and management of green campus.

10. The Practice: Following are the practices adopted to make the campus clean and green.

Twenty five species of tree samplings are planted.

Grass lawn with ornamental plants is created.

Seventy five potted plants are setup.

Development of an herb garden by name ‘Sanjeevini Vana’ is in process.

Two bore wells have been set up for continuous supply of water.

Water Sprinklers are setup in grass lawn.

Invited lectures are organized by Eco-club.

Botany students and faculty members have prepared the list of flowering

plants available in the campus.

11. Constraints or Limitations:

Shortage of space for further expansion work.

Absence of a skilled Gardner.

Flooding during heavy rains damages the garden.

12. Evidence of Success:

There is an increase in greenery in the campus.

Students and teachers brought plant samplings for plantation work.

There is an increase in number of potted plants.

NSS and Eco-club volunteers with teachers and students water plants.

Teachers and students do campus cleaning work regularly.
