III CYCLE ACCREDITATION

PEER TEAM REPORT 2012

ACTION TAKEN REPORT - 2012-2017

This section presents an account of the action taken by the college after the NAAC
peer team‘s visit of 2012. The following were their observations and
recommendations:
I.C.2 Teaching and Learning Evaluation
Teaching and Learning process: More emphasise on ICT teaching is required.
The college has made steady progress in terms of increased use of ICT in teaching-
learning as the college has increased the ICT capacity. Teachers have increased access
and use ICT in class rooms liberally. All teachers are computer savvy. Some courses
use MOODLE and MOOCs as assignments and several others give assignments
based on INFLIBNET usage. Some encourage writing blogs. Software is also being
used in teaching non computer courses like Math, Economics and English.
C.3 Research, Consultancy and Extension:
Consultancy: More scope for fund generation through professional consul. Limited
consultancy in place
There has been an increase in the consultancy services provided by our faculty which
is better than it was during the earlier cycle. The increased demand on time for
research, teaching and administration continue to be a handicap for the faculty to
provide consultancy outside of work hours.
C.4 Infrastructure and Learning Resources:
Physical Facilities for learning: ICT infrastructure requires enhancement
ICT as Learning Resources: Adoption of ICT based teaching on day to day basis
required
The college has been declared as College Of Excellence By UGC and is also a DBT –
FIST College. It has also received several research grants for minor and major
research projects. All has enhanced the ITC facility in college with all departments
having computers/ lap tops and almost all class rooms having ICT facilities. The wifi
connectivity has been upgraded. The college has acquired soft ware for student data
base management and in providing library services. Students can now check their
attendance and marks online. Biometric attendance marking system for staff has
been introduced. INLIBNET use is popular among students. College admissions of
students have gone online.
C.6 Governance and Leadership
Financial Management and Resource Mobilizations: More emphasis on resource
mobilization required
The construction of new auditorium with a seating capacity of 1260 has seen
increased renting of the infrastructure facility of the college on a regular basis. The
increase in the number of both major and minor research projects has helped
increased financial resource mobilization of the college .There has also been more
donations for scholarships for students and other services.
