4.3.6 Elaborate giving suitable examples on how the learning activities and technologies deployed (access to on-line teaching - learning resources, independent learning, ICT enabled classrooms/learning spaces etc.) by the institution place the student at the center of teaching-learning process and render the role of a facilitator for the teacher. Students are motivated only when the learning activities are authentic, challenging, multidisciplinary, and multisensory. Videos and computer multimedia software can be excellent instructional aides to engage students in the learning process. ICT enabled classes can thus enhance the teaching- learning process. Using ICT, students can initiate their own inquiry, develop hypotheses, and then test them. They provide opportunities for students to practice basic skills on their own time and at their own pace. They provide access to worldwide information resources and offer the most cost-effective means for bringing the world into the classroom. This way the student is placed at the center of teaching-learning process and the teacher assumes the role of a facilitator.

The students of some courses undergo field/project to acquaint themselves with the direct application of their knowledge and skills to real life. The college promotes English language learning through Edusat and Angla training. We hope the language acquisition scenario will become more dramatic, exciting, and colorful in the near future. These are the main innovations introduced during the last four years. The basic idea behind all these moderate attempts is to create a learning society that would not remain satisfied with the existing system, but will strive hard to improve the system and to use the scarce resources of the world more sensitively, efficiently and intelligently.

7.3 Best Practices (any two) 7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.

NAAC - SELF STUDY REPORT - 2015

Best Practice I (Any Two) 1. Title of the Practice: Career Counseling and Placement Cell 2. Goal: a. To make students competent and make them aware about the recent trends in industries relating to employment opportunities. b. To provide exposure to exhibit their skills and talent. We presume that our responsibility is not only to educate students but also to help them in their future career development process. Considering this, we have established the above cell. The basic purpose is to orient students about the skills required by the companies. This cell has been established to provide gateway to the students in the industry. Majority of the students are not aware about their latent talent for which we in association with various institutes organize tests and accordingly gauge their intent and potential for future career and placement.

3. Context: In today’s competitive world, it has been very challenging task to place the students in the companies. Students require communication skills, confidence and subject knowledge. Industry expectations are on a higher side. Through Career Counselling Cell, we organize various lectures and seminars for Personality Development of the students. Lectures include topics like Communication Skill, Current Industrial Scenario and Expectation of Industries as well as how to face Interviews and etc. We invite many companies for providing campus base placement opportunities to the students to ease the process of recruitment and placement.

4. Practice: The Placement Cell is well connected with the Corporate Officers and Companies. Companies approach the college placement cell at least Two times in a year. The companies will conduct a separate Entrance Test at college premises and shortlist the candidates after the interviews. But the final

NAAC - SELF STUDY REPORT - 2015

selection will be done at the respective company’s headquarters and Placement Offer Letters will be issued to the selected candidates.

5. Evidence of success: As the institution introduced placement cell during the academic year 2014- 15 efforts have been made to get better packages for students in different industries and companies in addition the tremendous improvement in the Personality Development of the students have been noticed.

6.Problem Encountered and Resource required: The biggest problem is students’ active participation as majority of our students are from lower middle class family background. Lacking in Presentation Skills and Communication Skills but still the institution is kind enough to provide all necessary tools to the students such as Computer Laboratory, Free Internet facility, books and magazines on General Issues and Language Lab facility. Majority of the companies offer jobs in the field of marketing, which students do not prefer. Convincing them to start their career with whatever opportunity they get is the biggest task.

Contact Details- Ashoka M. Assistant professor in political Science Best Practice-2 Title of the Practice: Participatory decision-making process.

Goal: To achieve the vision and mission of the institution To build a healthy institutional culture. To involve the staff and the students in decision-making process. To ensure transparency both in the academic and administrative activities.

The Context: It is the extent to which the College allows and encourages the stakeholders to share and participate in the institutional - decision-making.
