1.2 Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Challenges(SWOC)
Institutional Strength
Sprawling beautiful, eco-friendly and amicable campus.
Highly qualified, well experienced, dedicated, competent and proactive faculty.
Teachers are sincere towards their duties and organization.
High speed internet facilities with Wi-Fi are accessible to the students and staff.
The college has a well stocked library for students and faculties.
Our strength lies in motivating students from different weaker backgrounds to be educated, creative and responsible citizens.
Sensitive towards the needs of differently- abled students.
Institutional Weakness
Poor student- teacher ratio. The intermediate course is conducted in tandem with the main course which has badly affects the student-teacher ratio. Not having fully residential campus worsen campus student life. Secondary educational quality of the new students is woeful which weaken the process of better course outcomes.
Page 3/78 24-05-2019 11:42:22 Self Study Report of FORBESGANJ COLLEGE FORBESGANJ
It is not possible to maintain the educational environment without substantial financial support by the University or state or the UGC With the existing resources, it is almost impossible to meet the need for augmenting the infrastructure to keep pace with the academic growth. In the face of detorioting academic environment in Bihar, attendance of the students in not satisfactory. Some of faculty members are yet to acquire their doctoral qualification.
Institutional Opportunity
As the college is located near the border of Nepal, the foreign students too are getting their degrees from here. With the recruitment of new assistant professors specially in science, the opportunity for science studets has increased significantly. Now the college development committee has approved the maintenance of science laboratories, ramp for physically challenged persons, and other is getting basic facilities within the college campus. Now the academic calander drafted by the University and college is getting implemented for improvements in the teaching and learning ambience.
1. This the one of the best place to develop a Nepal study centre in India.
2. The play ground of the college is very suitable for the development of synthetic court.
3. Increasing number of girls students per year which exhibits awareness of females about education of this area.
4. Scope for initiating career oriented and outreach programmes.
Institutional Challenge
This area lies within Koshi region where usually floods come and causes huge damage. In year 2017, the college premises got badly damaged due to flood. Most of the important documents were destroyed and the sciece building also collapsed with well built and well furnished science laboratories.
This region of the bihar is rather backward socially and educationally. Mostly students come for degree not for classes. It is a challege to motivate them for regular classes. Another challenge is shortage of teaching and non- teaching staff for the smooth functioning of the college.
The major challenges are as follows:
1. Basic appropriate infrastructure and educational environment for a large number (~10,000) of students of the college.
2. Improve student attendance in the classes.
3. Removal of Intermediate program from this college to improve the quality of higher education. 4. Minimising the frequent engagement of college campus premises for non-educational activities like
Page 4/78 24-05-2019 11:42:23 Self Study Report of FORBESGANJ COLLEGE FORBESGANJ
elections for longer durations. 5. To develop alternative way to avoid academic disturbances namely, Bihar Board Exams, evaluation works etc.
1.3 CRITERIA WISE SUMMARY Curricular Aspects
The college offers teaching in 16 graduation level subjects in the faculties of Arts, Science, Commerce, and a self-financed Education Pedagogy (B.Ed). In the college, intermediate courses are also taught in the subjects of Arts, Science and Commerce as an extra burden.
The syllabus of the graduation courses are periodically revised as per the norms of the UGC curriculum by the university. The syllabi are prepared by the subjects expert committee constituted by the university and constituent colleges. The students have several elective options in their courses of study. The CBCS syllabus could not be introduced yet due to the shortage of appropriate resources and man power. However, some of the work load has been shared by the newly appointed guest faculties in various departments, though that is not sufficient to run the classes and laboratories smoothly. No grants are available either from the university or state government for the efficient running of the curriculum and administrative purposes. The paucity of the funds and man power is the main hindrance in the way of basic academic and innovative learning environment in the campus.
Teaching-learning and Evaluation
The admission in the various courses is based on the marks obtained in the previous examinations according to the number of seats allotted in various courses following the reservation in the policy of the government of Bihar. The admission is open to the students from the other states as well as the foreign country. The college follows the annual pattern in the academic programs.
The teaching is imparted through class room lectures, instructions, laboratory works, tutorials and supplemented by field work wherever necessary. The use of ICT enabled audio-visual elements will be a value addition to the traditional class-room teaching. Subjects like Psychology, History have practical dissertations with external viva-voice as part of fulfilment of the practical works. The attendance of teaching and non- teaching staff is strictly monitored by bio-metric system.
The tutorial engagement is often disturbed by examination schedule of University and Intermediate board etc. Sometimes the college is made examination centre for SSC and Engineering. Apart from this during elections the college becomes available centre for distribution of election material which is also hampering the curriculum. The college is maintaining the standard of invigilation in the examination but some times, disruptive hooligans use unfair means at the examination centres. Although the college administration does not allow such activities.
Research, Innovations and Extension
Page 5/78 24-05-2019 11:42:23 Self Study Report of FORBESGANJ COLLEGE FORBESGANJ
The college is a recognised centre for UG courses, though some of the faculties are significantly active in continuing the research activity in Arts, Commerce and Humanities and many of them are guiding the research scholars. The university promotes research work by recommending study leave for teachers and teaching schedule is adjusted to facilitate them. Although there is no provision of financial support to researchers at college level in this University.
The college does not have any collaborative activities as of now. Some of the newly recruited science assistant professors have the scope of collaborative activity with their previous institutes. On the other hand the extension activity like NCC, NSS are supervised by the senior faculty members. These activities are extended to area like community development, health, and hygiene awareness. The NCC cadets and NSS volunteers help people during the flood and epidemics upsurge.
The college activities include social awareness programs like AIDS, blood donation, environmental awareness and disaster management and medical camps.
Infrastructure and Learning Resources
This college has very large green campus. It has necessary physical infrastructure as science block, commerce block, administrative block, library, staff room, girls and boys common rooms and hostel facilities. The infrastructural development of the college and the sports activities are maintained with the designated faculties and Physical Training Instructor (PTI). The sports and athletics are overseen by the sports president and secretary.
The institution has adequate instrunctional infrastructure for teaching- learning. viz., classrooms, laboratories, equipments, computers etc. The institution has moderate facilities for sports, games, gymnasium, yoga centre etc., and cultural activities. College has 15 classrooms and 3 seminar hall with ICT - enabled facilities such as smart class, LMS, etc. Each year moderate percentage of budget allocated for physical and academic infrastructure facilities. Library is in process library automation using Integrated Library Management System and facilitating e-contents through national digital library NDL. This old library is enriched with some rare literature books and special reports issues viz., magazines, reports etc. College library is providing access to the students for availing the e-resources. College frequently updates its IT facilities including Wi-Fi. The institution has established systems and procedures for maintaining and utilizing physical, academic and support facilities - laboratory, library, sports complex, computers, classrooms etc through website and other methods.
Student Support and Progression
The student service centre and the elected Student Union spread the information to the students about the admission rules, class routine, examination rules and the financial assistance through scholarship etc.
The carrier guidance and the student feedback on academic matters is paving the way of student career progression but as the teachers and staff are grossly understaffed, this support system is not in a position to give better results.
The college publishes annual reports, highlighting its activities in the prospectus and college magazines regularly to inform and sensitize the student communities. All the relevant information are incorporated in the college website for the ease of students.
Page 6/78 24-05-2019 11:42:23 Self Study Report of FORBESGANJ COLLEGE FORBESGANJ
There is no perfect missionary to collect the data about the student progression and placement service. Though it is learnt that quite a large number of students are recruited in the central and state government jobs as well as in public private sectors. The college environment is quite suitable for recreation of student ability and skill development.
Governance, Leadership and Management
The organisational structure of the college includes the Principal, Bursar, accountant, head clerk and staff members. The college is governed according to the Bihar state university act 1960 as amended date to date. Through the statutory bodies like staff council, development committee, purchase committee, admission committee, sports and cultural activity committee and IQAC etc, the college administration runs the college democratically. The functioning of the college is assisted by various staff incharges of library, routine incharge, controller of examinations, information and carrier guidance, NCC, NSS ect. Transitory committees are formed from time to time to look after the beautification, environmental care, cultural functions and social works etc.
The academic calendar for admission, periodical test, theoretical and practical classes are prepared in consultation with the heads of the departments of the college.
Regular internal audit is done in the college. The university also sends the audit team from time to time to take care of the accounts of the college. The budget of the college is prepared by Bursur, Accountant and some senior teachers of the college under the guidance of the Principal. The university scrutinizes in the finance committee and then it is passed in the syndicate and senate of the University. Thereafter it is sent to the government for the final approval. The salaries and other allowances are sent by the university and after deduction of PF, Income Tax, Insurance premium, Loan etc. the payable salaries are released to the teachers and other staff off the college. The same procedure is applied when any arrear amount is received from the government or the university.

4. Quality Indicator Framework(QIF)
Criterion 1 - Curricular Aspects
1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation 1.1.1 The institution ensures effective curriculum delivery through a well planned and documented process
Response:
The college being constituent unit of Purnea University, Purnia follows the curriculum prescribed by the University. Some of our senior faculty members are involved in the construction of curriculum and the curriculum is revised periodically with the suggestion of subject experts. The same curriculum is adopted by all colleges under the university.
An active plan for timely implementation is formulated by the institution to ensure effective delivery. An academic committee consisting of Heads of various departments with their faculty members and headed by the Principal, prepares policies after planning the best methods to successfully implement the curriculum before the commencement of the session.
The faculties are encouraged to prepare an active plan for their classroom teachings of the entire year and it is ensured that teachers move from easy to difficult, familiar to unfamiliar and at a pace that is easy for learners to maintain. The part of courses are distributed among available faculties after careful consideration of their qualifications, subject specializations, experience, performance and their own interest. In the very beginning of session every teacher is excepted to draw his / her teaching plan broadly taking into consideration the understanding ability of students. Feedbacks are taken from students after completion of topics and poor performers are guided properly by the subject teachers. The preparation of such a plan helps with effective distribution of syllabus, clarity of curriculum and timely completion of the course.
Each department prepares its internal academic calendar well before the year commences. These calendars are reviewed and rechecked if needed. Along with this, the respective lecturers prepare lecture notes, class notes and PPT presentations and deliver them in their scheduled class.
Continuous evaluation is maintained throughout the year by giving assignments and conducting tests, after completion of every unit to ensure thorough understanding. Transparency and impartiality are maintained in the evaluation process. Evaluated answer sheets are returned to the students with suggestions for further improvement. Attention to students needs' is given by the teachers and mentors.
Although the adequate number of permanent teaching faculties are not available in a few subjects in the college, highly qualified Guest lectures have been appointed by the university to maintain the quality of educational outcome. We have an effective feedback management system including teachers, staff, students and guardians. The feedbacks are analysed by a committee and important suggestions are factored in the revision of the curriculum and in the teaching learning process. The staff is constantly encouraged to attend refresher courses, workshops and seminars to update their knowledge. Through these methods of planning and implementation, effective delivery is ensured and documented digitally through the online automation system of the college.

Further during the course of study, group of students are assigned to a faculty for counselling. The counsellors monitor academic performance and interact frequently to understand and assist any student with issues that affect their ability to learn or impede their academic success. The institute has a system to communicate performance and attendance of students to parents regularly. Set of 20 students are assigned for a faculty as mentor and personal and academic care is completely taken by the corresponding mentor. The mentor communicates regularly with parents and sms is also sent along with progress report after each assessment test. Care is taken by faculty in monitoring the performance of slow learners. The faculty members do periodic interaction with the parents of slow learners about their performance.
