Institutional Development Plan

IQAC held several meetings in online and offline mode during the period of five years. The meetings were held with the members of IQAC and all teaching staff for assessing the progress being made in the teaching learning process, mentoring of the students, whether academic activities like class test, tutorials, students' seminars, faculty exchange programs, parent teachers' meetings etc. were carried out sincerely. Depending on the reports and feedback by the teachers, problems faced, if any, suggestions for development were given to the teachers.

●             Continuous internal evaluation (CIE) was introduced in a more systematic manner for both honours and general students according to a centralized routine from the session 2021-22. In the month of December, 2021 IQAC had organized a quality initiative program for all the teachers of the college where senior teacher had shared her work experience, principal of our college delivered lecture on mentoring and IQAC coordinator had elaborately discussed the SSR of the last five years. The students who had failed in the CIE were asked to sit for/take the exam second time and as a result performance by those students improved considerably in the University examination.

●             After publication of semester wise University results office staff of the college prepare statistical data using excel sheet of results for each paper student wise. Result analysis is taken. In joint meeting of academic committee and IQAC these analyses are discussed regularly department wise. Principal points out the departments where students are not performing all. Some teachers discussed about the strategies to improve student’s performance.
