Our college was functioning as a Distance Education Centre for MBA program offered by , Coimbatore during 2008.The program was wound up by Anna University due to the policy decision of the University. Every year we conduct a demonstration program in collaboration with the District Fire office as to how to face and manage disasters.

This year National Disaster Management Council Conducted a Program in the college. The District Collector was the Chief Guest.

The Social awareness and society welfare programs conducted by our NSS volunteers and Youth Red Cross Society Volunteers are innumerable. The appreciation we receive from the beneficiaries is a big strength to us and motivate us to rise to bigger heights.

The alumni association on its part has motivated the management and the students to aim for higher laurels.

WEAKNESS:

Being a rural area, most of the students undergo school studies in their mother tongue. Hence they are lacking communication in English. It is the drawback that the faculties find many difficulties in training the students. Being the Co-Education Institution, the problems of adolescence arise. Moreover some girl students get married and deliver to a child at the age of 17 or 18. They are not able to concentrate on their Studies. But through proper counseling by Women’s Club and Students Counselling Cell the institution has taken steps that students should realize the importance of Education and placement before they get married. Attrition by staff members is another problem faced by us. Staff members migrate to other job preferably Govt. jobs , after gaining experience.

OPPORTUNITIES:

The management has created various opportunities to students at various levels. Academically library facilities, internet facilities, technological updates in teaching, learning methodologies, laboratory facilities, industrial visits, invited lecture by eminent professors are available.

The students are motivated to participate in the seminars, workshops and conferences etc in other colleges also by supporting their travel and other charges. They are also permitted to participate in extracurricular activities at the college level as well as at the Inter collegiate levels. Women’s Welfare club, Health club, placement cells, NSS Unit, YRC, Grievance Redresal Cell Rotaract, are functioning regularly for the improvement of the students which in turn lead to social responsibilities of the students.

The management supports the staff members to improve in their academic achievements by creating opportunities, sponsoring their travel and other expenses and special leave to participate in various conferences, seminars and workshops organized by various colleges and universities. They are also allowed to do part time M.Phil., and Ph.D., Faculty development programmes are organized by the Institution so as to enable the staff members to enhance their teaching skills. They are also encouraged to appear and get through in the CSIR/NET/SET/examinations to fulfill the UGC norms.

CHALLENGES:

Our institution has earned a good name in the public in all academic and non academic activities of the students, more so in discipline of the students. We have to sustain and improve it further. There are so many constraints to face in the society towards the development of the institution. Inspite of all these the management has been taking steps to retain its position for ever.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and the external peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process? Based on the UGC guidelines the teaching staff members are called for the interview and they are appointed by the institution by getting feedback from students through demonstration class. The faculty members are given training in Orientation programmes, faculty development programmes etc. The management encourages the faculty members to attend seminars, conferences and workshops on the basis of free of cost and giving special leave to enrich their academic knowledge in the latest trend. Special lectures are arranged eminent professors. The heads of the department submit the self appraisal reports of the teachers in the name of confidential reports to the head of the institution. Based on the reports of the heads of the departments, the head of the institution takes necessary steps to improve the teaching learning process of the teachers.

2.5 EVALUATION PROCESS AND REFORMS: 2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes? The first year students are given instructions regarding the evaluation process of university and about CBCS pattern. So that they will have an idea of how to face an exam and the instructions are also given by the faculties regularly. They also explain about the scheme of examination and prepare the students to face the university exams well in advance. There is transparency in CIA marks. The students are aware of their marks secured in CIA marks. Opportunities are given to them to improve.

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 has introduced CBCS pattern under which marks are splitter into 25 for internal assessment and 75 for University examination. The internal marks are given on the basis of regular (CIA) test pattern, assignments, seminars suggested by the university. Revaluation scheme is available in the university. We ask the students to get Xerox copies of answer books. Teachers evaluate them and based on that students are asked to apply for revaluation. The internal marks are finally sent to the university and the same is also intimated to the parents and sometimes parents are invited to discuss about the progress of the students.

7.3. BEST PRACTICE Every year our college management have been arranging environmental trip for first year students to various places, to create awareness of environmental protection

7.3.1. Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional objectives and-or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college. Best Practice-I 1. Title of the Practice Bridge Course for Enhancement of Communication in English 2. The Goal • To help I year students who lack the required competency in English, to improve their proficiency. • To bridge the wide gap between those who can speak English fluently and those who cannot. • To fulfill the mission of the College towards inclusive educational practices. • To enhance communication in English this in turn will help them understand their core disciplines and subjects better. • Expected outcome • At the end of the course, the student should be able to follow classroom teaching, lectures in English, understand texts better, speak fluently and write correctly. The belief is that intensive training and regular follow-up can make any student a competent user of English. Improved English language competency should lead to improvement in academic performance.

3. The Context K.M.G College of Arts and Science, Gudiyattam has students who come from regional language medium schools and rural backgrounds. Many are first generation learners. There are also students who feel diffident for some reason or the other. These groups of students, as they enter college, find the shift from the secondary to the tertiary level of education, from one system to another and from one campus to another, unnerving and a daunting experience. Department of English conducts bridge course for the first year students and this continues throughout the year even in their regular classes as a part of it.

Self Study Report: K.M.G College of Arts & Science, Gudiyattam 201

4. The Practice The bridge course with duration of 15 days is programmed by the staff of the Department of English, under the eminent supervision of the Head of the Department. Students are given special training in vocabulary and pronunciation. As a part of this program, students are even taught spoken English. The Uniqueness The unique feature of this practice is that during this period, the students are taken to language lab and trained in the above skill with audio- visual aids. The active involvement of both students and teachers in a non- threatening environment facilitates language learning. The Methodology The approach is interactive and the lessons are activity-based, integrating all the four skills of language –listening, speaking, reading and writing. Modules are prepared by the faculty of the English Department. Each lesson has a clear objective with detailed step-by-step lesson plans. 5. Evidence of Success • It is heartening to note the shy and diffident students coming out of their cloisters to communicate in English. The course enables them to improve their fluency in the English language. The students gain confidence and acquire a sense of belonging in the College. The programme is time-bound and a survey has been conducted to assess the success. • The time limit for the bridge course is one month in every academic year and the difference in the language competence of the students from the entry point to the exit point has been assessed by comparing their scores in the Foundation English Course. There has been improvement in scores. A similar comparison is made to assess their performance in major subjects. The findings show an improvement in performance. More remarkable, however, is the phenomenal growth in their confidence and self-esteem. • Another evidence of success is that, every year the English Drama competition is conducted by Fine Arts Association. Even the students of other departments enact English Dramas and win prizes also.

Best Practice-II

1. Title of the Practice Institutionalizing the Mentoring System 2. Goal • To monitor student progression and advancement. • To help students plan their courses of study. • To help students deal with issues related to personal and social life. 3. The Context The CBCS adopted by the College requires students to be aware of credit requirements for course completion and involves choosing courses with care at the right time. Further, over a period of time, it has been observed that students often have personal problems, issues of relationships and so on, that affect their academic performance. The mentoring system, envisioned as a student support activity, was restructured in 2009-10, in order to ensure that students are made aware of what is required of them to acquire a degree and also to help them deal with personal issues so that they do not hamper their academic growth. 4. The Practice • The Tutorial System, which is in practice in the College, has been restricted and systematized into the practice of mentoring to make it more effective. The process of mentoring involves the idea of a faculty member ‘journeying with” the mentee. The mentor participates in the academic life of the mentee through the period of the students’ study on campus. Faculty members have been trained in mentoring skills and basic counseling skills. Each member of the faculty is assigned 25-40 students belonging to the department. Details about the students including personal information are maintained in the form of a file. • Each student is required to meet the mentor once in a fortnight. The mentor gets to know the student personally and keeps track of the academic performance, attendance. Fulfillment of course requirements give guidance necessary on matters pertaining to academics. If the mentor feels that the mentee requires additional help, she/he is recommended for remedial coaching. The mentor also guides students on matters relating to higher education and careers. The practice of mentoring encourages students to discuss personal issues that affect their performance in the College. The mentor also identifies students who need financial assistance and direct them to the appropriate authority for availing of fee concessions, scholarships. The mentor also meets the parents/guardians of the mentee, once a semester to update them on their ward’s performance. The mentoring system enables students and teachers to establish a personal bond with each other.

5. Evidence of Success • The mentoring system has been effective in dealing with absenteeism. When a student is absent from class for more than three consecutive days without informing the class/course teacher, the mentor is alerted. The student is contacted to find out the reason for the absence and the attendance is followed closely thereafter. This has led to a reduction in the number of students who become in eligible to take the end- semester examinations because of lack of attendance. • The mentoring system has also been helpful in ensuring students fulfill the course requirements. Students have to register for General Electives offered by other departments. Very often, unaware of these requirements students fail to complete them on time. With the introduction of the mentoring system, the mentor checks periodically if the student is registered in the courses and required to take in that particular semester. Any lapse is immediately brought to the notice of the Principal and is remedied, to ensure that the student completes their degree within the specified period. • When the mentor succeeds in establishing a personal rapport with the students assigned to them, there is a bond of trust and respect that is established and this has encouraged many students to open up to their mentors about issues they face in their personal lives on and off campus. Timely counseling and intervention have helped many students deal with these issues successfully. Commerce students are offered Tally programme and coaching for ICWA. 5. Problems Encountered and Resources Required • The time-factor is a major hurdle in the successful implementation of the programme. Often mentors find it difficult to make time to meet the students assigned to them on a regular basis, because of the pressures of academic and administrative responsibilities. • The average mentor-mentee ratio poses a challenge for the effective implementation of the system. • Finding an appropriate space that will encourage personal interaction has also proved to be a challenge. • Mentoring system also is practiced in our college through ICT Academy. The system, when effectively practiced, can serve as an effective measure taken for students who are unable to cope up with academic stress, peer pressure, etc. It has been proved to be helpful in encouraging students to continue pursuing higher education.

OTHER BEST PRACTICES:

SMS for students: • Apart from the good thoughts for the day, reminder call during examination to wake up the students to study, information about the CIA tests, Examination schedules, birthday wishes are sent as SMS. Moreover, the parents are informed of the absence of the wards. • Soft Skill Training Programme: • Every year, all the first year students of both UG and PG are provided with training in soft skills which increases their employability and confidence. • Job-Oriented coaching classes: • The college provides coaching for Tally, ICWA, Computer literacy programme. • Internet lab: • An internet lab is provided for the students .This facility is of great help to the all the students. • Daily newspapers: • Students are encouraged to buy daily newspapers at a nominal cost.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strength • The number of students in B.Com course has been increasing every year. • Courses offered from UG to Ph.D., • Majority of the faculties are producing 100% results in the university examination. • Majority of the students are placed in a good position in reputed concerns after completion of their UG and Post graduate courses.

Self Study Report: K.M.G College of Arts & Science, Gudiyattam 232

Weakness: • Lacking in skill development programme and Self employment programme. • It is a rural based college, majority of the students hail from the surrounding villages. • They are lacking in English. Hence, make them to learn the course in English medium is a difficult task.

Opportunity: • Through placement cell majority of the students get placements from the various reputed companies. • Our college is encouraging the students not only the education but, also the extracurricular activities like, sports, games, NSS, YRC, RRC, CCC and Fine Arts etc. • Our department to providing the Tally ERP 9.1 version regularly to the I UG students both boys and girls that helpful to get job opportunities in the various Auditor’s Office in and around in the Vellore District. • Our department organizing workshops and special lectures especially to III UG and II PG students, which is useful for them to start Small Scale Industry after completion their degree course. • Our college is organizing various development programmes to the students in order to get employment opportunities through ICTCT academy and JCI Academy programmes. Hence, the students are able to get a complete knowledge on personality development and communication skill, that which is much more essential for present employment market.

Challenges: • Most of the students are first generation graduates. So, student’s progression to post graduate level is a challenge. Future plans: • To convert into a fully fledged research department with more publications by students and staff in reputed journals. • FGF • To increase the number of publications from both staff and students. • Develops skills at the skill development center of the college.

POST-ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES

1)Within another 10 years our college should be an autonomous degree giving University with undergraduate, post-graduate, diploma and doctoral studies, Post accreditation Initiatives starting maybe as a "deemed to be" University.

2)To accomplish this the College would need to have a strength of 3-4000 students and a faculty of around 200-300 teachers, including research assistants.

3) We shall develop our infra structure to fulfill our dream

4) We will try strengthen our existing bonds between the industries and would try to get the I place to supply human resources to these industries

4) Once we become autonomous we would frame our syllabus to suit the needs of these industries at the same time strengthening the basic knowledge in the disciplines

5) One of the requirements to be a is to demonstrate undeniable strength in one of the fields.We would identify one such field and develop it up to the mark .As such we are very good in the disciplines Maths and Biochemistry. We would choose one of this and develop the facilities and attract the talents in these disciplines.

6) Our vision is to convert this into a research institution of this area. We will strive to achieve this.

7) We wish all the graduates of our college should be well placed. We would leave no stone unturned to achieve this
