A. PREFACE

The New College was established in 1951 and is affiliated to the University of Madras. Having completed 64 years of imparting quality education, the College has attained the enviable reputation of being one of the premium institutions of higher education in this part of India. The College was founded by the Muslim Educational Association of Southern India(MEASI) with the primary aim of providing higher education to the educationally and socially backward sections in general and the Muslim community in particular. With a humble beginning of 200 students, it has grown to the current combined strength of over 5000 students in the Aided and Self-financed streams. The College was first accredited by NAAC with a B++ in 2005. During the 2nd cycle of accreditation the College was awarded “A” grade with a CGPA of 3.18 in 2010. The UGC conferred Autonomous status to the College in the year 2007. A review of the autonomous status of the College was conducted in 2012 and the status of autonomy was extended for another term. The College has taken all necessary efforts to implement almost all the recommendations of the peer team. The College continues to strive to uphold its vision and mission in its endeavours to provide quality education and in its insistence on personality enrichment leading to an integrated, holistic development of the students. The preparation of the Self-Study Report for the 3rd cycle of Re-accreditation has provided scope for introspection and to analyse the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the College. This report highlights the quality initiatives adopted during the period 2010-15 and is presented objectively in the format prescribed by the NAAC. The experience has enabled us to reflect on the development and the objectives so far achieved and to be achieved further in the years to come. The IQAC of the College is pleased to submit the Self Study Report of the College for the 3rd cycle of Re-accreditation, with a hope of fulfilling its goals and laying emphasis on “Teaching beyond the classroom and beyond the curriculum”.

A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Muslim Educational Association of Southern India (MEASI), the parent body of The New College was established on 28th November 1901. The aim of MEASI has always been to provide educational opportunity to Muslims in particular and to other communities in general. In lline with the guiding principles of the century-old MEASI “Awake, Arise and Achieve”, the parent body has been playing a vital role in fostering the educational interest of the Muslims in South India ever since its inception. Owing to the dedication and involvement of the management, a series of educational and research institutions have been established with the mission to provide quality education. The mission of MEASI has always been to contribute its mite towards nation building and to promote the progress of its institutions into “centres for excellence” which in turn will contribute to the overall development of the system of the higher education of the country. From the founder President Justice Hungerford Tudor Boddam to the present office bearers of the MEASI, all the members have been farsighted and have provided all facilities and encouragement for the education of the backward communities. The New College is located in the heart of the city of Chennai at Royapettah in a 13 acre area with exquisite buildings and a sprawling playground. The College was named the “The New College” after the model of the New College in Oxford. The New College was inaugurated by Shri C. Rajagopalachari, the then Home minister of the Government of India, on 2nd July 1951. The College began to function by enrolling 200 students in Humanities at the intermediate level. Prof. J. Franco M.A.L.T., O.B.E was the first principal of the College. Since then, the New College has progressively developed into one of the leading institutions of higher education with student strength of 5180 in 2014-2015, offering courses in 24 Under Graduate programmes, 12 Post Graduate programmes, 7 M.Phil programmes and 8 Ph.D. programmes.

[NAAC-SSR–CYCLE–3] [THE NEW COLLEGE] SEPTEMBER 2015 87

Model Total Year CIA Test Assignments Regularity Exam CIA

Before 5 Marks 10 Marks 5 Marks 5 Marks 25 Marks 2014- 2015 From 4 Marks 8 Marks 8 Marks 5 Marks 25 Marks 2014-2015

The added weightage given to test and model examination motivates the students to focus more on test / exams rather than assignments which in turn helps them to face the end semester examinations with more confidence.  Re-tests of CIA, Re-submission of assignments before the end semester exam are extended to students who have been unable to appear / submit in time for reasons like participation in intercollegiate sports / competitions, etc. This benefits the students to make up for their absence in the CIA component.  Scrutinizing of all the question papers is done by the external and internal experts of the concerned subject, which ensures quality, minimizes errors, checks relativity and weightage of marks.  A Camp Officer is nominated by the Principal in consultation with the Controller of examination. Two assistant camp officers are nominated to take care of internal and external evaluations separately, which enables the completion of the evaluation process within the stipulated time.  The valuation is coordinated by the HOD who is also the Chairperson of the examination of the respective paper. This reform helps the earlier publication of results.  The passing minimum marks for UG / PG has been raised from 26 / 75 to 30 / 75 (35% - 40%) for UG and 30 / 75 to 38 / 75 (40% - 50%) for PG.
