2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admissionprocess and
studentprofiles annually? If ‘yes’, what is theoutcome of such an effort and how
has it contributed to theimprovement of the process?
There is a mechanism in the college to review the admission process and student
profiles. Annually, theAdmission Committee reviews the admission processfor
admission to the B Com and M Com courses each year and assesses the profile of
students. Such reviews help mainly in analyzing the basic trend of students taking
admission to the B Com and M Com programmes offered in the college.
The admissions for courses conducted under the Management Department are given
solely by centralized admission process by DTE, Mumbai (in case of MBA) and
Solapur University, Solapur (in case of BBA and BCA). The institute has no direct
involvement in the admission process.
For all courses under Management department, the students have diversified academic
background. Therefore, analysis of students on the basis of their academic stream and
academic performance is done to understand the mix of the class and accordingly plan
bridge up modules for students having newer subjects in the curriculum.
With respect to MBA, there are two divisions of 60 capacity each. The enrolled
students are analysed by stream, location, college, gender, etc. to ensure equal
distribution of students of all profiles in both the divisions. The same analysis also
helps in planning bridge modules, English improvement language lab sessions,
formation of activity groups, etc.
Findings of the Admission Committee in last few years and the actions
taken there upon are as below:
At B. Com. Part I level forms are scrutinized by the committee members to study the
profile of students in regards to choice of medium of instruction(English or Marathi)
and subjects opted. Divisions are allotted to students on the basis of the medium of
instruction and the subjects opted by the students. This has resulted in student
satisfaction as they find themselves comfortable to study and understand in the
language which they are comfortable with.
Hirachand Nemchand College of Commerce, Solapur SSR 2011-2016

Additional division of 50 students was started for M.Com.-I on the recommendation
of admission committee based on the demand from the students and parents in the
year 2011-12.
As per the recommendations of the admission committee, we have converted the B
division of B. Com. Course as a division in which the language of instruction is both
English and Marathi.
As per the recommendations of the admission committee, we have started an
additional division at FYJC and SYJCleveloffering an integrated course in which
regular course teaching has been integrated with CA CPT teaching from 2015-16.
The Admission Committee also reviews the number of applications received.In view
of the demand supply ratio the college initiates timely correspondence with the
University for additional seats. After getting the final sanction from the university,
additional students are admitted.
Prior to the commencement of admissions to Part II and Part III level, the Result
analysis committee analyses the results to find out the passing percentage of students
and if required, request is sent by the College to the University for Additional Student
Intake.

CRITERIAVII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 ENVIRONMENT CONSCIOUSNESS
7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?
The college has taken multiple initiatives in taking action based programmes for
conservation of nature and natural resources for sustainable future. Green auditing has
helped us in taking a stock of available resources within the campus and assessment
of usage of resources. The process serves as a tool for making judicious decisions on
how natural resources are currently utilized, where they are wasted and scope for
improving judicious usage of resources and actions to be implemented for fine tuning
the need based analysis of resources.
Green auditing initiative was taken as a case study by staff and students. Expertise
from life sciences departments of our sister institute Walchand College of Arts and
Science has been taken to implement various criteria. The auditing process was
completed in following three steps.
Step-I: - Preaudit Initiatives: This step involves scope for conduction of green
auditing in college campus.
Step-II: - Auditing Process: This involves conduction of actual auditing of resources
under categories such as-Energy Auditing, Water Auditing, Air Auditing, Land
Auditing (floral and faunal diversity) and Waste Auditing. The outcome of this step is
recommendations that need to be implemented for better conservation and usage of
resources.
Step-III: Post-audit Analysis: College (Internal Green Audit Team) reviews
environment related initiatives that are implemented and the effectiveness of the
process in bringing positive change in reducing, reusing and recycling of resources.
The outcome of this step is a Green Audit Report that is submitted to the college
along with proofs of outcome that have been achieved and steps for further
improvements and finer recommendations and eco-friendly practices for future
implementation.
7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-
friendly?
Hirachand Nemchand College of Commerce, Solapur SSR 2011-2016
225
The college has taken many steps to inculcate a sense of belongingness to surrounding
environment and its conservation. Students of many departments are encouraged to
take action based initiatives that involve them directly in creating environmental
consciousness within and outside campus.
Some of the programmes that were organized in this direction are listed below.
I. Water Conservation: Department of Geology of Walchand College of Arts
and Science has successfully implemented a model for maximum recycling,
reuse and recharging of water. The staff has taken into account landscape and
physiognomic features of campus area while implementing the model. The
model is implemented for entire campus and it involves following steps:
a. Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting: This involves catching of rainwater from
rooftop of college buildings. The system implemented is as follows:
Catchment of rainwater from rooftop;
Transportation of rainwater through water pipes or drains or downtake pipes;
First flush and filter with mesh to restrict floating material, silt, leaves, other
organic matter etc.,
Filteration through brick masonry filled with pebbles, gravel and sand;
Storage and recharging of borewell;
b. Open Space Rainwater Harvesting: Rainwater from open space is recharged
through various kinds of structures to ensure percolation of rainwater into
ground instead of draining away from surface. The college has employed
following methods.
Recharging of Borewells: The rainwater from girls hostel is recharged through
borewell near hostel
Percolation through College Ground: The rainwater from Main Building
No.01 is diverted to playground and is completely submerged during rainy
days. This allows for sufficient percolation to recharge groundwater.
Recharging of Dugwells: Rainwater from south-east side of Main Building
No.1 and Biotechnology Department is diverted through constructed water
channels to existing open well after passing it through filteration beds filled
with stones, pebbles and sand.
Percolation through Recharge Trenches: Trench are excavated and filled with
porous media like pebbles, small brickbats, silt etc. along with the walls of
Hirachand Nemchand College of Commerce, Solapur SSR 2011-2016
226
water storage tank for harvesting surface water run-off. This also enhances
percolation of rainwater into nearby borewell. The recharge trench is of size 1
to 1.5 meter deep.
Recharging through abandoned borewell: Abandoned borewell within
Biotechnology campus is also used for water recharge.
In addition to above mentioned measures we have also ensured water conservation
through following measures:
a. Reducing flow rate of water at sinks in laboratories, canteen and other places.
b. Reducing the number of taps in toilets, canteen and mess.
c. We propose to plant more number of drought resistant plants within campus.
d. Our staff and students are encouraged to bring their own steel bottles to carry
drinking water to minimize use of bottled or pouched water. This also reduces
plastic waste generated within college campus.
II. Energy Conservation:
Use of CFL and Fluorescent Tubes: The College uses energy efficient bulbs
like Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) and Fluorescent Tubes within the
campus area to conserve energy.
Switching off lights, fans and keeping computers on energy save mode: A team
of non-teaching staff is deputed to shut off fans, lights and computers
unattended by anybody in classrooms, laboratories and offices.
Our students and staff are actively involved to switch off electrical items when
not needed.
Power options are set to ‘power down monitor’
III. Use of Renewable Energy:
Installation of Solar Panels and Solar Water Heaters: Solar panels and Solar Water
Heaters are installed at Boys and Girls hostel.
IV. Efforts for Carbon Neutrality:
Tree Plantation: Trees were planted bordering ground and in the space across
chemistry and student reading room.
Use of single sided printed papers: Our College is practicing use of one-side

recycled weekly in ‘Vermicomposting Unit’. This is the most successful
project and large quantities of high quality vermicompost have been produced
for use within the campus. Recently, our management has installed a machine
to convert canteen and mess waste for use in vermicomposting.
Our canteen mostly uses reusable cups, dish-wares and utensils.
Staff and students are instructed to use reusable items like carrying their own
steel water bottle, steel tiffin box etc. to discourage purchase of
bottled/pouched water and plstic-wares.

shared, networked print environment at Computer Department to save money
and reduce unnecessary toner and paper use.

digital files etc. to save resources and cut down costs involved.
We have eliminated paper usage through many means e.g. e-sharing of books,
ppts and notes, avoiding printing of emails and other documents unless really
