The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) of the IQAC
All NAAC accredited institutions will submit an annual self-reviewed progress report to NAAC,
through its IQAC. The report is to detail the tangible results achieved in key areas, specifically
identified by the institutional IQAC at the beginning of the academic year. The AQAR will detail the
results of the perspective plan worked out by the IQAC. (Note: The AQAR period would be the

Currently we follow the Continuous Curriculum Assessment system with End of Semester Exam in the ratio 25:75 as per university guidelines.
All ideas related to the enhancement assurance of quality teaching and learning are constantly discussed at the IQAC and concrete proposals are forwarded to all the faculties for their implementation. The IQAC held separate meetings with the faculty on teaching learning and evaluation processes as to plan/benchmark assessment parameters considering specific course nature and requirement and student intellectual ability level. The IQAC interacts with the department on a periodic basis to monitor the implementation of its proposal and receive feedback (informal/formal) on outcome.
Teacher In-charge are requested to submit and upload on college website ‘e-zone’ plan for teaching/activities for each current semester/year.
Presently IQAC of the college monitors quality of teaching/learning through faculty feedback, performance of students in internal examination/tests/presentation, result analysis, open discussion of results and review of academic progress during meetings with management and faculty members.

pedagogy.
Learning from failure in implementing an initiative taken in March 2017 as
‘OUR’ (Opportunity for Undergraduate research), for 2017-18 session IQAC in
assistance with departments is re-designing the modus operand and compiling
the implementation protocol so as to foster research environment in the
institution taking into consideration constraints like university academic
calendar, available external (other) institutional resource/infrastructure
support, parents low degree of willingness to send female in field, and above
all student intellectual maturity. .

5.2 Efforts made by the institution for tracking the progression
Organized Orientation and Induction day for fresher wherein all the HODs, class
coordinators, coordinators/conveners of different activities brief the new students
about curricular & Co-curricular life in college.
Anti-Ragging awareness created among the students not only during induction
program but also through kiosks/Notice/Posters consisting of mobile numbers of
anti-ragging committee /help line (24x7), mobile numbers of anti-ragging
committee, student grievance cell coordinator contact numbers are displayed at
strategically visible locations within college premises.
Circulars and details of support services like scholarship and placements are
displayed regularly on college notice board.
Student grievance cell headed by senior female administrator, as to facilitate
female students place their grievances without hesitation.
A Dedicated Corporate Communication cell ‘C-Cube’ act as bridge between
Corporate world and college. It is responsible for organizing Industrial visits,
inviting guest speakers and placement activities.
An Online form was created on college website where alumnae can register and
update their present status and other information from corporate world.
Department wise alumnae meet were organised to collect alumnae’s present
working/educational status and also to collect their feedback about different
aspects of college.
Class coordinators continuously monitor students’ academic performance during
the course being pursued.
Interaction/Feedback taken from the students & parents as to understand student
faced problems/difficulties in her/his academics.
Periodical Counselling by experts from industry, as well as by faculty on advance
studies and career options as JRF, GATE, Doctoral program, short term certification
programs. This counselling includes making student aware about minimum
prerequisites of targeted program/course/career.
Major problem observed: College is still working on an effective model to
overcome student difficulty in comprehending the subject due to most text being
in English language. To help student overcome this weakness college conducts
regular English classes as a part of GDMA/PGDMA curriculum.
Remedial classes are periodically arranged for specific topics as demanded by the
students or as decided by the faculty after monitoring of student response to the
said topic.
