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
processes. Students are provided with academic and personal support through counselling, mentoring
and personality programmes. Teachers use modern teaching techniques along with traditional
methods. Study tours, visit to industries, research laboratories and heritage sites are regularly
organised for enrichment of knowledge among students. Special lectures are being organised by

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
Self-Study Report Cycle 1 2016

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
