*Fostering global competencies among students
 The curriculum, constantly upgraded to keep it on par with international standards,
is one of the most important ways of fostering global competencies.
 Regular assessment of existing evaluation practices are benchmarked to the best in
global standards.
 Teachers and students visit different colleges and universities both nationally as
well as internationally to present papers, and/or give talks.
 International industrial visits and study tours are organized. Students worked with
refugees and other such marginalized sections in Sri Lanka. A few students visited
Malaysia to interact with both experts and students on questions of finance and trade.
Some students also visited countries like Netherlands and Belgium for student
exchange programs and to be involved in social action. These visits are undertaken to
upgrade both intellectual and social competencies to meet global standards.
 Students are provided with regular opportunities to develop leadership skills,
interpersonal, self-management and teamwork skills in order to foster global
competence.

*Inculcating a value system among students
 Values are inculcated through Human Resource Development programs conducted
in the College and this is augmented by a variety of action programs under the aegis
of the extension activity entities such as Joseph‘s Outreach Centre, NSS, NCC, CSA,
etc.
 The 5Cs are reflected in all policies and actions undertaken. They ensure that moral
and social ethics are fostered in students. These involve the formation of ‗Conscience‘
for the development of a code of moral values, ‗Compassion‘ to ensure that social
ethics are fostered, ‗Competence‘ to develop intellectual faculties, ‗Creativity‘ to
encourage research in the College, and ‗Commitment‘ to ensure that students work
hard towards quality knowledge development and academics.

*Promoting use of technology
 Use of technology particularly ICT, in teaching-learning processes has become a
common practice on campus.
 MOODLE and MOOCs are used by some teachers.
 The use of Knowledge Pro has enabled efficient management of student database. It
also helps in the overall evaluation system. All student feedback is collected and
organized through Knowledge Pro.
 In many of our courses, the daily classroom activity employs technology that ranges
from the use of specialized software to live online resources.

conscious reflection and discussion. It is constantly involved in re-setting its goals to
reaching higher standards.
