1.4.4. What are the quality sustenance and quality enhancement measures
undertaken by the institution in ensuring effective development of the curricula?

Quality sustenance and enhancement are top priorities for the institution in all matters
relating to curriculum setting to enhance academic rigor and make the courses offered
relevant and effective. This can be judged by the active engagement of the IQAC with
counterparts in other institutions as well as in the institutional push towards the
following initiatives:
 Regular and continuous discussion among the teachers about the working of the
curriculum and changes desired generates several new ideas to emerge in terms of
quality.
 Regular Staff Council meetings raise issues of quality from a generic perspective
which helps in setting benchmarks for departments.
 Regular Departmental meetings with the Principal once a semester has been helpful
in sharing concerns of the departments. This practice has been helpful in terms of
quality enhancement initiatives.
 Attention to reconstituting BOS with eminent persons is ensured from time to time
as specified by university statutes.
 Teachers visit other colleges/research institutes in the city, other parts of the country
and abroad to gain insights into the working of their curriculum. Faculty from other
colleges visit the College and share experiences about curriculum and syllabi. This
has been a proactive step in incorporating quality sustenance measures in the
College.
 Faculty participating/delivering lectures in seminars and workshops have been
another major source of initiating quality measures in the College curriculum.
 Active encouragement for teachers in research advancement through minor/major
projects, in seeking funding, and professional enhancement via Orientation and
Refresher courses has been yet another source of quality enrichment.
 The learning continuum of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities is
facilitated by the continuous involvement of teachers and students. This practice
helps in curricular enhancement.
 Collecting student feedback on curriculum and library infrastructure has been yet
another important source of quality enhancement.

1.4.5. Any additional information regarding Curricular Aspects, which the
institution would like to include.

The College enjoys the goodwill of all its stakeholders and they are ever willing to
contribute to enhancing the quality of curriculum design whenever required. This
makes the curriculum current, relevant, holistic and sustainable for the required
academic rigour and advancement.
