 The second is made up of the Choice Based Credit Courses, which are mandatory
                   for all students. The students have to opt for a course of their choice.
                    The  third  is  constituted  by  Foundation  Courses  which  are  again  mandatory  and
                   include courses such as Indian Constitution; Science, Culture and Society; Computer
                   Science; and Environmental Studies.
                    The fourth consists of skill-based courses in Human Resources Development.
                    The fifth is the course on Theology for Catholic students.
                   Software  programs  which  are  part  of  the  syllabi  of  several  courses  are  currently
                   considered as value additions too.


                   1.3.5.Has the College introduced any higher order skill development programs in
                   consonance  with  the  national  requirements  as  outlined  by  the  National  Skills
                   Development Corporation and other agencies?

                   No,  the  College  is  yet  to  introduce  higher  order  skill  development  programs  in
                   consonance  with  the  national  requirements  as  outlined  by  the  National  Skills
                   Development Corporation. The College has set up a Diploma Course Centre, which
                   proposes to offer skill based-industry-integrated diploma courses from 2017-18 in the
                   evenings.
                   There  are, however, many courses that are very close to  the ones  proposed by the
                   NSDC in terms of skill development in various fields:
                   Core Courses:
                   B. Com. (BPS) and M. Sc. (Big Data Analytics) are courses offered in association
                   with TCS, a leading private sector company.
                   Certificate Courses:
                   The College currently offers 35 different certificate courses.


                   1.4. FEEDBACK SYSTEM

                   1.4.1.  Does  the  College  have  a  formal  mechanism  to  obtain  feedback  from
                   students regarding the curriculum and how is it made use of?

                   The  College  employs  a  Compulsory  Online  Feedback  Mechanism  through
                   Knowledge Pro (ERP Software) where the students anonymously assess their teachers
                   at  the  end  of  the  semester.  One  section  of  this  feedback  is  directly  related  to
                   curriculum delivery aspects. In this connection, it may be mentioned that the software
                   for this purpose is managed entirely by a non-teaching staff.
                   The feedback is analyzed and the consolidated report is given to the teacher by the
                   Principal. In case of professional help being required by a given teacher, the Principal
                   makes arrangements for the same.
