A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Surendranath College is one of the oldest colleges of the country. Established in 1884 as Ripon College by Surendranath Banerjea, the college was renamed after the founder of this institute as Surendranath College in 1948-49. The college is committed towards imparting all round holistic and quality education. ―Education processes the human material- the greatest of all resources of a country- broadens its outlook and vision thereby enabling it to realize itself‖. Research and education between them carry aloft the banner of progress and human achievements. This was mainly the objective of the visionary founder, S.N.Banerjea.
After some initial obstacles, the IQAC was ultimately formed on 30.07.2013, long after the first accreditation in 2007 wherein the college achieved B++ grade. Subsequently the IQAC has developed several quality assurance mechanisms with the help of several committees under the able guidance of the Principal.

Any other relevant information regarding curricular aspects which the college would like to include.
• The college does not take charge of designing and developing the curriculum on its own but the college does emphasize on various co- curricular and extra-curricular activities, in order to enrich the curriculum. • The college has initiated new certificate courses for the interested students. • College building is shared by 3 colleges (Surendranth Law College, Surendranath College, Surendranath evening college). The Law College is till 2 P.M., while the Evening College starts from 4 P.M., there is overlapping of timings because of this. • Normal class schedule is affected in the college for some other activities in Law College and evening college, e.g. during examination schedule of Law College and Evening College, they use the college building as university exam center and therefore our classes in the college remain suspended. • The General Staff room is shared between Surendranath College and Surendranath Evening College. Whenever evening college is using the building as university exam center, our teachers are denied admission into the staff room.

• Although the part time teachers (PTT) and contractual whole time teachers (CWTT) were recruited by the institute following the same process of recruiting guest faculty members, their financial liabilities have been taken over by the West Bengal Government.
Currently no PTT and CWTT are recruited by the college.
2.4.2. How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three years.
It is really a challenging task for this institute to cope with the growing demands of the students for modern courses like Computer Science or Microbiology.
Previous NAAC recommendation was to grow in a skewed manner instead of the lateral growth.
Irrespective of some serious efforts by some departments to start post-graduate courses, nothing realistic materialized unfortunately.
The institute finds it hard to cater to the requirements of the new courses introduced from 2001 onwards like Geography, Statistics, Journalism & Mass- communication, Psychology and Sociology.
In all these courses, there exists hardly any full-time faculty while the courses are carried out with the help of part-time, contractual and guest faculty members.
In the past few years, there has been a growing demand for almost all of these courses as is evident from the number of students admitted in each year.
Although the institute is trying hard with the help of honorary services of faculty members of related discipline to resolve the issue, the arrangement in no way suffices in rendering justice to the students admitted in a full-time course.
The institute expects to get some new posts in these disciplines with the help of college service commission in near future.
During very recent times West Bengal Government has also approved CWTT and PTTs for the subjects which helped the cause to some extent.
Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 76 of 381 NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015
The data of the guest faculty members recruited year wise are added as Annexure 7.
2.4.3. Providing details on staff development programmes during the last four years elaborate on the strategies adopted by the institution in enhancing the teacher quality.

2.5.2. What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?
• The University of Calcutta has initiated certain examination and evaluation reforms after introducing the 1+1+1 system in Undergraduate Courses in 2007 and syllabus change/re-orientation in 2010, 2012. The college being affiliated to the University has adopted all of these reforms. The examination for all 3 year degree courses are now held after completion of each year as Part I, Part II and Part III Examination.
• The college conducts the final University examinations as and when the allotments are made by the affiliating University.
• The college conducts the University Practical Examinations for its own students as per University norms whereas for theoretical papers our students are allotted to other colleges and students of other colleges are allotted to our college.
• The University currently allots the answer scripts of the General papers to the affiliated colleges who in turn distribute the scripts to the respective faculty for evaluation and subsequently submit the award lists with the evaluated scripts to the University. The institute has adopted this change in the evaluation process of the scripts of General papers from 2013 onwards.
• However, the college follows its own evaluation process for the internal examinations conducted before the University examinations so that it helps students to perform better.
• Recently the college has initiated an online MCQ evaluation process for continuous evaluation of the students. The teachers evaluate a student‘s understanding on the subject by this.
2.5.3. How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own?
In the recent years Calcutta University has introduced Annual System of Course in the Undergraduate Level. This has evolved a new system of evaluation in which
Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 83 of 381 NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015
• All the practical examinations are now conducted in home centres under the supervision of External Examiners deputed by the University. • To ensure effective implementation of this reform in practical examination the college, in recent years, has upgraded and improved the laboratory infrastructure of all the laboratory-based departments. • The college also makes advance payment to the internal examiners, as per University norms, to conduct the examinations smoothly. • The University distributes the answer scripts of all the General Theoretical papers to the affiliated colleges centre-wise, fixed by the University, which are required to take charge of getting the scripts evaluated by faculty members of respective subjects and submit the award lists with the evaluated scripts to the University. The institute designates a faculty as Distribution Coordinator as per instruction of the University for Supervision of the whole process form receiving the scripts from the University to submission of award lists together with the evaluated scripts to the University.
These reforms have also involved the institute to reform its internal evaluation system in the following ways:
• The college now arranges for mid-term and test examinations for the students of all the three years programmed by the Examination Sub- committee. • The departments also arranges for unit/periodical tests for students of all the three years.
2.5.4. Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system.

As the college is affiliated to the University, it follows the University guidelines for evaluation and assessment. However,
• The college does conduct various internal tests and Unit tests, so that the students get a better picture of the University exams and come out with flying colors in University exams. • Results of these internal test examinations are declared to the students as soon as possible. To maintain transparency in the internal assessment system, the students are given chance to look at the evaluated scripts. They can reach out to the concerned faculty members if there is any problem with the evaluation and assignment of marks.
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
The institute gives utmost importance to assessment /evaluation of students for achievement of learning objectives. • Each course structure is designed in a specific way to judge the progress of the students mid-way of the session through mid-term test as well as finally after completion of the course through a final test. • Apart from these two tests held specifically according to the academic calendar, departmental unit tests are held as and when required. • Students are also encouraged to solve the problems on their own in regular/tutorial/remedial classes by the teachers. • Parent-Teacher meetings are also held to identify reason of any student performing below expected standard.
Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 89 of 381 NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015
2.5.8. What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and university level?
There is a very specific and notified process for redressal of grievances with respect to evaluation of scripts at the university level. • Any student who is not satisfied with the result can review his/her paper through an application. • Photocopies of answer scripts can also be obtained for self-inspection through R.T.I. • There is also scope of challenging the mode of evaluation in a court of law. Through all these methods, it has been observed that the assessment process is free and fair.
At the college level • After the unit test, the results are declared within a week of the examination. • Results of Mid-Term and Final Test Examination are also declared to the students. • Final Test Examination results are also submitted to the office for necessary action. • The students are encouraged to see their evaluated scripts in order to get an exposure of the loopholes so that they get better prepared for the university examination. • The students can also get their answer sheets rechecked by the concerned teacher, if they are not satisfied with the evaluation.
