Criterion II: Teaching Learning and Evaluation
2.1.1

Student Enrolment and Profile

2.1.1

How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the


admission process?
The admissions to degree classes are governed by the guidelines
issued by the Acharya Nagarjuna University. The salient features of the
process of admission are
The Principal appoints a committee consisting of five members
of teaching staff, one of whom acts as the convener. The
committee is entrusted with scrutiny of applications,
preparation of selection list and waiting list strictly in
accordance with the rules and regulations for admission. The
selection lists and waiting lists are prepared strictly in the order
of merit, course wise, group wise and medium wise giving
preference to students who passed the qualifying examinations
in the first attempt.
The committee submits the lists to the Principal. The Principal
ensures that the lists have been prepared according to rules.
Admissions are made on the basis of aggregate marks obtained by
each candidate in all the subjects of the qualifying examinations.
The rules of reservation are strictly followed in making the
admissions. A uniform and foolproof procedure suggested by the University
is followed. Any other instructions communicated either by the University
or the government from time to time are complied with.

2.1.3

2.1.4

The merit list and selected candidates list is displayed in the notice
board for the convenient of the student

Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission


at entry level for each of the programmes offered by the college and
provide a comparison with other colleges of the affiliating university
within the city/district.

As has been said earlier, the college is established in a rural area,


we encourage the students by giving top priority of the all
interested candidates. The required percentage for admission into
under graduate is normally 40%.\

As there is no floating of the students to join degree courses,


almost all the students who applied for admission into degree
course is admitted here.

Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission


process and student profiles annually? If yes what is the outcome of
such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the
process?
(mechanism to review the admission process and student profiles outcome
of the effort for improvement)
Yes.
Above 90% of students who want to join into degree course have come
from below poverty line status and therefore the priority will be given
during the admissions to encourage them. Most of the parents are not
interested to send their children to the colleges. It is because of their
poverty that withhold them to send the colleges. Therefore our staff
members will canvas during admissions by approaching door to door by
convincing them to get their children admitted into degree courses.
But as said earlier most of the joined students into degree courses will
habituate to work for their lively hood. During the holidays even the
working days of the college. So that the staff members happen to see those
students engaged in their work the staff counsel and make them realized
the importance of studies.

2.1.5

students and ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?

As per the Government norms, differently abled students are


admitted into degree courses.

Sri Vivekananda Arts & Science College, Giddalur

Page 36

Self Study Report Cycle 1

Classes for such students will be conducted on the ground floor


and such students are helped by fellow students and also the
support staff of our college.

The university also awards 10% of marks for such students.

Does the institution assess the students needs in terms of knowledge


and skills before the commencement of the programme? If yes, give
details on the process.
Yes, all the staff members assess the needs of the students at the beginning
of the academic year through questioning. After assessing their
background knowledge, they design short term (one or two weeks) Bridge
courses and thus initiate them to UG studies.

2.2.3

What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to


bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to
cope with the programme of their choice? (Bridge/Remedial/Addon/Enrichment Courses, etc.)
The students are admitted on the basis of merit, most of them will have
low quality skills. Hence at the beginning of the academic year, a bridge
course is planned by teachers in their subjects concerned. The bridge
course will function as a Refresher Programme and it will help them to
recapitulate their previous knowledge and get ready for the next course.
Some basic skill tests are conducted in an informal way to assess the
performance of the students through seminars, quiz programmes and
question games.
A bridge course is conducted in basic grammar principles and LSRW
Skills in English. As the students are hailed from low income and illiterate
families, they hesitate to come forward and speak. These courses instill
courage and confidence among them. In subjects like Maths, Physics,
Chemistry, Computer Science, History, Economics, Political Science and
Commerce a course is conducted to revise the topics completed at the
intermediate level. Students also find these courses very useful as this is
preparing them for the UG syllabus.

2.2.4

How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as
gender, inclusion, environment etc.?
Our college follows various mechanisms like establishment of
committees, cells, organizing of lectures, workshops etc., to sensitize its

The Principal used to appoint the anti-ragging / Disciplinary Committee
to take care of students. A toll-free number is displayed and circulated to
make complaints if they have any complaint Along with this the contact
numbers of the Anti Ragging Committee were also circulated.
Womens Empowerment Cell takes care of women students. Gender
related issues do not generally spring up because of an impartial and
unbiased attitude displayed by the teachers. Time-to-time meetings are
conducted to focus on such issues that come up in news papers (Like those
of Nirbhaya and Malala) to develop awareness and critical thinking.
Through Guest Lectures our institution tries to develop tolerance towards
other religions and gender issues.
Environmental issues are discussed and topics related to these will be
given for development of critical thinking and attitude through Essay
Writing, Debate and Elocution Competitions
2.2.5

How does the institution identify and respond to special educational /


learning needs of advanced learners?
Our lecturers do not openly classify low and advanced learners
separately. The input is given in such way that it caters to the needs of
both low and advanced achievers. The advanced learners are identified
through formative assessment and through active and prompt attendance
and student responses in the classroom. These students are encouraged to
act as class representatives and they are given special work and
encouragement for presentation of papers, seminars to develop their skills
in subject knowledge and for the development of higher order thinking.
They are also encouraged to take up project work and guide low achievers.

2.2.6

How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and
information on the academic performance (through the programme
duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the
disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners,
economically weaker sections etc.)?
Due to rural setting, our Institution caters only to the needs of the students
from the disadvantaged sections of society, slow learners and
economically weaker sections. This situation is its challenge and also
an opportunity to serve the society.

Sri Vivekananda Arts & Science College, Giddalur

Page 38

Self Study Report Cycle 1

Through formative and summative assessments, the lecturers


observe the performance of the students more through classroom
performance and behavior.

Our college has been following the practice of collecting feedback


from students to assess their interest levels in education,
observations about the lecturers and the curriculum they are
learning. Thus the data collected is discussed in the staff meetings.
The principal and committees meet the students and analyse the
issues regarding the drop out of certain students. In spite of the
danger of dropouts due to warnings, our institution pursues them to
be regular.

The lecturers regularly monitor the attendance of the students and take up
counseling sessions for those who are not regular and who appear to join
the list of drop outs. The students irregularity is due to their financial
backwardness and their requirement for sustenance of the family. Such
students are identified and helped by the staff through counseling and
financial assistance.
2.3

Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1

How does the college plan and organise the teaching, learning and

The almanac for the year is prepared taking into consideration the
number of working days, month wise. The breakup of syllabus unit wise is
prepared. For this members of every department meet and prepare the
annual academic plan for the whole year in all the papers taught by the

faculty. Allowance is made for any unforeseen loss of working days or
dislocation of work. While preparing unit wise syllabus the academic plan
suggested by the University is followed as far as possible.
The target syllabus month wise is covered by the individuals.
Statements regarding the coverage of syllabus are obtained from
individuals every two months as a measure of feedback. The information is
recorded in the Performance Indicators.
1. Annual academic plan.
2. Coverage of syllabus month wise.
The in-charges of the departments supervise the coverage of
syllabus.
At the end of the month each teacher reviews the coverage of
syllabus and holds extra classes for the students for whom the targeted
syllabus is not covered.
Every lecturer has to maintain a teaching diary in which the
coverage of syllabus and a synopsis of the subject taught is recorded. The
in-charge of the department verifies the diaries at the end of every month
and offers necessary suggestions to the individual lecturers. The teaching
diaries are submitted to the Principal once in a month.
In the class rooms a student centric approach is adopted. Smart
strategies are used to make the process of teaching a pleasant job. We have a
team of well trained and experienced teachers who work with dedication. In
the first few days of the academic year the academically backward students
are identified and special attention is provided to them.
Students of the first year degree courses who come from a different
stream in the +2 stage are provided Bridge courses in some faculties.
Every teacher uses some time to get a feedback from students on the
subject he has taught in the previous classes. Special attention is provided to
students lagging behind in the class.
Evaluation is mainly through the examinations we conduct. Every
year three major home tests i.e. Quarterly, Half-yearly and Hope
examinations are conducted. Beside these two or three Bi-monthly tests are
conducted. Lecturers allot a few periods for Assignments.
The number of working days is normally 220 inclusive of
examination days. We adhere to the working schedule suggested by the
University.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching learning process?
The IQAC, which we established for effective monitoring of the academic
and administrative processes, plays a responsible role.

2.3.3

IQAC explains the importance of Teaching-Learning and Evaluation


Process and the need for supportive administration.

IQAC also guides lecturers regarding the student-centered methods


and helps them in preparing necessary resources.

IQAC helps lecturers in preparing the annual plans, lesson plans,


along with procuring of ICT tools from the internet.

IQAC conducts NAAC awareness meetings for staff and students.

How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the


support structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills
like interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent
learning among the students?
In the process of Teaching - Learning priority is given to the
learner. There is a lot of diversity in the learning levels of students in
each class. Each lecturer is advised to identify the students who are
advanced and those who are lagging behind. Our students are largely from
rural areas and are accustomed to conventional methods of teaching and
learning. We have been inculcating in them a sense of developing
knowledge and skills.
Students are encouraged to use the library as a source of learning.
They are assigned the task of gathering information regarding the subjects/
topics they studied from magazines and news papers.
They are made to participate in the Teaching - Learning process
through seminars where they are encouraged to present papers on selected
topics.
The lecturers concerned provide the students the synopsis of the
topics covered. The students are given the list of reference books before the
commencement of a particular topic.
Many of these students are from very poor families with very little
financial support. Their family background has not provided them the
necessary awareness in pursuing education on scientific lines. As such we
have to adopt different techniques to satisfy the needs of these students from
diverse backgrounds when they are taught in a class in combination with the

Sri Vivekananda Arts & Science College, Giddalur

Page 41

Self Study Report Cycle 1


relatively advanced students. Individual attention is paid to students as far
as possible.
Field trips and industry visits are taken up periodically to promote
experiential learning. Library book exhibitions, academic competitions are
conducted. Guest lectures are arranged on important days on topics like
great and inspiring personalities, personality development and certain
other crosscutting issues. Student made projects, and Seminars are assigned
both individually and in groups to promote independent learning. The
students browse the internet and complete the project with very little
guidance from teachers. Short-term certificate courses also make students
more confident and autonomous learners.
IQAC helps the teachers to procure videos and PPTs. The students, though
slow in the beginning, turn themselves up and start responding. Thus
individual, collaborative and interactive learning is promoted.
2.3.4

How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and


scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long
learners and innovators?
Teaching is carried in a variety of ways - through lectures and interactive
methods.
As our institution focuses to some extent on experiential methods like
seminars, projects, individual and group work etc., scientific temper and
creative and critical thinking skills are nurtured.

2.3.5

What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the
faculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning resources from National Programme on Technology Enhanced
Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on Education through
Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open
educational resources, mobile education, etc.
As mentioned earlier ours is a college functioning in a rural area.
The students here are used to traditional ways of teaching and learning
lecturers are encouraged to prepare models, charts etc. to make their
teaching lively. Over the last few years we have been using some modern
teaching aids in classroom instruction. In the departments of Botany and
Zoology we have Over Head Projectors.
For students of first year and second year degree classes computer
systems with listening devices are being used for teaching Phonetics. We
use a L.C.D. Projector as a modern teaching device.

Sri Vivekananda Arts & Science College, Giddalur

Page 42

Self Study Report Cycle 1


2.3.6

How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of


knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars,
workshops etc.)?
In each subject a period a week is allotted to tutorial work. The syllabus is
divided into units and in each unit some selected topics are given as
assignments. Students are made to work on the subject allotted to tutorial
classes through discussion with the teachers. Wherever possible Group
dynamics is encouraged on special topics.

2.3.7

Detail (process and the number of students \ benefitted) on the


academic, personal and psycho-social support and guidance services
(professional counseling/mentoring/academic advise) provided to
students?
As the students are mostly from first generation rural families, counseling
is taken up frequently in and outside classroom. Serious issues related to
individuals regarding their behavior etc., are taken up during personal
counseling sessions.
Academic and moral counseling is taken up normally in the classrooms
and special academic counseling is done through ward-counseling. The
ward counseling includes physical, psychological and academic aspects.
The students are advised on health related issues, cleanliness, attendance
and development of academic activities.
The changes are observed gradually and this has been showing positive
results.
Career Guidance and Counseling Cell notifies various employment
opportunities and encourages students to utilize such facilities.
To prevent dropout rate due to the non-availability of certain facilities like
absence of drinking water, the staff have come up with the idea of
jaladaan, through which mineral water is supplied to the students free of
cost through the same collective fund. This has prevented many students
from bunking the classes on the pretext of absence of water.
This has also controlled absenteeism and drop-out rate.

2.3.8

Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by


the faculty during the last four years? What are the efforts made by
the institution to encourage the faulty to adopt new and innovative
approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student
learning?

Sri Vivekananda Arts & Science College, Giddalur

Page 43

Self Study Report Cycle 1


During the past five years teachers have tried to adopt new
techniques in teaching. A Learner centric approach is developed with efforts
being made to identify the slow learners and advanced ones where ever
needed. L.C.D. and Over Head Projectors with transparencies are used.
Students are encouraged to participate in seminars and exhibit their skills
through preparation of models. Students are made to play the role of
teachers and explain things to their classmates. Field trips and surveys are
arranged. Slide Projectors and Bio-visual charts are used to make teaching
lively.
2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning
process?
Library plays a very vital role (in the college) as a learning resource. In
our college students have open access to the library from 09:30 AM to
05:00 PM. If need arises the library works beyond these scheduled
working hours. Different classes are allotted different days in the week for
issue of books. However they can make use of the reading room whenever
they have no classes. Reference books, Public question papers and
magazines are made available on request. Students can have access to the
reference section during fixed hours with the permission of the Librarian.
2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum
within the planned time frame and calendar? If yes, elaborate on the
challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome
these.
The institutional plan is strictly followed and the teachers try to complete
the syllabus within the timeframe; but due to the implementation of
student-centered methods, certain topics may demand more number of
hours can planned. Then our teachers conduct extra classes and revise the
difficult topics. We also conduct doubt clarification sessions.
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching
learning?
Yes. Tutorial classes are conducted for all classes. Each department
selects some important questions / topics that are likely to appear in the
coming annual examinations and make the students write Assignments.
Normally this exercise is done outside the regular working hours. The usual
timings for this are from 08:45 to 09:45 AM. Every student has to write a
minimum number of assignments.

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and
weightages assigned for the overall development of students
(weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning,
communication skills etc.
As a part of evaluation, Internal Assessment is taken up by some
departments. Internal Assessment is done on the basis of the students
regularity to classes, their behavior, their receptive abilities and responses.
Their academic performance i.e, Self - learning, communication skills etc.

Sri Vivekananda Arts & Science College, Giddalur

are examined through unit tests, assignments, quiz programmes and
seminars. These are the steps taken as basics for internal assessment.
2.5.7

Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation


as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of
learning objectives and planning? If yes provide details on the
process and cite a few examples.
Yes,
The performance of the student is monitored mainly through periodically
conducted home examinations and the annual examinations conduct by the
university. During the formative and periodical summative assessment the
lecturers identify the backward students in every class and conduct
remedial classes for their career development. The Principal assesses the
achievement of learning objectives at the internal meetings with the staff
and with the students. Whenever any discrepancies are identified, the
Principal directs the lecturers concerned for rectification.
The Examination committee monitors all formative and summative tests
and the scripts are valued and the marks are informed to the students and
posted in the registers. The students are also permitted to verify their
answer scripts and assess their own areas where improvement is required.
The marks are posted in the Central Marks Register. Acharya Nagarjuna
University started posting the results on website and so this process has
become more transparent.

2.5.8

What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to


evaluation both at the college and University level?
Redressal of grievances regarding evaluation is a subject under the
purview of the University. The institution has no role in the process. If a
candidate feels that he has not been given a fair assessment he can apply to
the University for revaluation of the Answer scripts concerned and the
University looks into the matter and redressal is provided to the student as
per the norms in vogue.

2.6

History, Economics and Speical Telugu combination), B.Com. General,
BSc (MPC) and B.Sc. (BZC).
The members of the staff are struggling a lot to pursuade the students to
have the interest in the traditional courses like B.A., B.Com. and B.Sc.
The staff convince the students by imparting the Idea that they will have
the opportunity to have got various jobs like C.A., Accountancy and other
top rank jobs.
We have also the facility of MoUs. And we have constant touch with the
Industries nearby Nandyal (A town adjuscent to Giddalur).
The Career Guidance Cell / JKC is conducting lectures and workshops for
motivating the students for enhancement of employability.
The students are more motivated than in the past and they are showing
interest in developing their communication and employability skills.

In 2012, 10 students were selected at campus interviews for Dr. Reddys

dropping out due to the non-availability of water on the campus. The water
available with the well is not potable. Hence all the members of staff have
decided to contribute and offer free and safe drinking water to the students
on cost sharing basis. For the last three years this practice has been going
on and the students are reaping the benefit out of it. Last year with the
financial assistance of UGC, a mineral plant was established.
Evidence of Success:
Students attendance increased
Students started taking lunch on campus
Students are saved from florosis
Problems Encountered:
Bones are damaged due to the high content of florin in water.
Notes: The students have been suffering from water on campus to take lunch. The
borewell water contains high density of florine. As a result students suffer from
florosis. Hence we established mineral water plant.

2. Health Awareness and Extension Programmes
Goal
To provide awareness in the neighbouring community regarding various
aspects related to cleanliness, health and hygiene
Context
College located in rural area
Villagers have no awareness regarding health, hygiene and cleanliness
Practice:
The college has various clubs related to gender issues, AIDS awareness,
health awareness etc., in the form of Red Ribbon Club, NSS and NCC. We
organize guest lectures, health camps and workshops involving doctors
and various experts to students and the villagers of the neighbouring
community periodically.
Evidence of Success:
Students regularity increased due to better health
Villagers also attending such campaigns enthusiastically
Problems Encountered
Villagers show resistance to participate in Blood Grouping, AIDS
Awareness and Other Campaigns.
Resources Required
Various Volunteering Agencies
Staff members for motivation

3. EXTRA CLASSES FOR EDUCATIONAL WEAK STUDENTS
Goal
To improve results among the educational weak and poor students in the
rural areas.
Context
Students come from first generation impovaration families .
They need additional classes
Practice:
It is observed that most of the students who attend college are from first
generation families. They are mostly from marginalized sections. They
work on part time basis to help their parents and attend college. They
hesitate to come forward to participate in competitions. Thou they are
intelligent, they lag behind in studies. So, we provided extra classes for
those students.
Evidence of Success:
Students attendance increased
Students results improved
They started participating in various competitions
Their self confidence is increased
Problems Encountered
NIL
Resources Required
Staff contributed their services voluntarily
Notes:

Our students belong to the marginalized sections and from impoverished families,
so it has become a minimum requirement to provide extra classes.
