that assess teacher effectiveness for every course. Class Committee Meetings
are conducted once every semester to review the academic programme. The
Class Committee consists of five student representatives, Vice Principals and
Co-ordinators. These meetings are important forums where students give their
feedback on course content, teaching methodology, evaluation procedures,
attendance, infrastructure facilities, mentoring, internships, and Student
Training Programmes (NCC, NSS, YRC, Sports and Games, SAP).
The feedback and suggestions given at the CCMs are recorded by the Co-
ordinators of and the Chief Co-ordinator who lead and direct the CCMs. The
feedback and suggestions are discussed and reviewed by the faculty and
remedial measures taken if required. The feedback is also used during
subsequent revision of syllabi, to improve the teaching-learning- evaluation
process, infrastructure, resources and facilities, to ensure the effective
implementation of academic and administrative processes and to streamline
Student Training Programmes. In addition to formal feedback, individual
faculty members also obtain informal feedback from students, consider them
and use them for improving their performance.
This year, student evaluation of teachers is done online for all courses taught in
each semester. This is conducted after the second tests in a structured manner
and confidentiality is maintained throughout the exercise. The evaluation is
based on the following parameters: knowledge of subject, methodology,
evaluation and testing, levels of professionalism and the student- teacher
relationship. The questions on the online feedback form pertain to areas such as
the teacher’s knowledge of the subject, the guidance the students receive in
reference work, handling of the subject, completion of syllabus within the
specified time, communication skills, teaching methodology, objectivity and
impartiality in evaluation, punctuality. Course teachers can view the
consolidated report of the feedback on the intranet, in the form of computer
generated bar diagrams. The feedback helps in enhancing teacher effectiveness.
The Principal also discusses the general comments during the general staff
meetings and specific problems are addressed with individual faculty members.

can approach for academic and personal counseling.

three times per semester. These are out-of-classroom personal meetings in
which the mentor gets to know the student personally and keeps track of her
academic performance, attendance record, course registration, and fulfillment
of course requirements among other things, offering guidance where necessary
on matters pertaining to academics.
Each student entered information about his / her personal details, academic
performance and curricular progress in a mentoring booklet. Mentors offer
academic counseling to students, help them choose elective courses, recommend
them for remedial coaching, if necessary and also meet parents of their mentees
to update them on their progress.
Weak students are identified in the class with the help of their respective class
teachers and Remedial Coaching is arranged. The academic performance of the
students is analysed every semester in the Staff Meeting and in the Department
Staff Meeting. The course teachers are asked to give written explanation for

: Best Practices – II :
(Since Last two Years)
To provide a forum for students to pursue their venture
To develop Basic Facilities
Internal Support System
State-of-the –art Infrastructure
Sound Mechanism
Strong Industry Collaborations
3. Challenges :
Initially there are no industry ready for providing financial support. Upto
now the Management has spent more than 1000000/- since last two years for
this type of projects.
4. Evidence of Success :
The experiential learning method will be used for teaching 'start-up related
concepts and contents' to introduce a positive influence on the thought
processes of students. Courses like 'business idea generation' and 'soft skills
for start-ups' would demand experiential learning rather than traditional
class room lecturing. Business cases and teaching cases will be used to discuss
practical business situations that can help students to arrive at a decision
while facing business dilemma(s).

5. Problems Encountered :

the thing raised. For that we have to hire the service of technical experts.
