This Academic Self-Evaluation Report is prepared for the academic session 2017-18 as per requirements of Para 9 of UGC Guidelines for Autonomous Colleges and RTMNU Ordinance/Statutes related to Autonomous Colleges. It pertains to the seventh year of functioning of the college under autonomous status. Academic autonomy is implemented in the college on a progressive basis since 2011-12. The first batch under fully autonomous status graduated in 2014-15. All academic programs, including all undergraduate programs, are fully governed by rules and regulations formed by the college amended up to the Academic Session (2017-18). This report is concerned with programs, rules and regulations applicable under autonomous status. The purpose of the report is to determine in what ways and to what extent the college has moved in the direction of achieving objectives as laid down in Para 2 (a) of the UGC Guidelines as under: The National Policy on Education (1986-92) formulated the following objectives for autonomous colleges. An autonomous college will have the freedom to: 1. determine and prescribe its own courses of study and syllabi, and restructure and redesign the courses to suit local needs; 2. prescribe rules for admission in consonance with the reservation policy of the state government; 3. Evolve methods of assessment of students’ performance, the conduct of examinations and notification of results; 4. Use modern tools of educational technology to achieve higher standards and greater creativity; 5. Promote healthy practices such as community service, extension activities, projects for the benefit of the society at large, neighborhood programs, etc. This report strives to ascertain the extent to which the objectives of the autonomy, as stated above, are achieved. 2 | P a g e 3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION: 3.1 Programs of Study in academic session 2017-18 Type S No Programme of Study Old/New* UG 1 B.
