2 B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND SWOC ANALYSIS

CRITERION 1. CURRICULAR ASPECTS

Curriculum Planning and Implementation

Government College Mokeri meticulously plans and implements the curriculum designed by the University of Calicut and seeks to synchronize the declared educational goals of the college with the objectives of higher education set by the UGC and the affiliating University. The College has well-articulated Vision and Mission statements that are in phase with the Educational policy of the Union of India. The College endorses the development of the secular and democratic values detailed in the Constitution of India. We prepare the youth to excel not only in academics, but also in cultural interventions and sports. Apart from this the college orients the students to assimilate cultural, moral and ethical values in the course of their academic pursuit. In addition to this, the various clubs functioning in the college train them in soft-skills and inculcate social orientation.

The College offers 2 PG and 4 UG programmes. All the courses are sanctioned by the Government of Kerala and follow rules and regulations set by the affiliating University. The College follows Choice Based Credit and Semester System implemented by the University for the UG and PG programmes. For the effective implementation of the curriculum, an academic calendar is prepared by the IQAC at the beginning of each academic year. This date-line is followed and the working hours are distributed as per a general Timetable provided by the College Administrative Office. The Academic Audit Committees oversee the teaching learning activities of the college. Timetable for individual teaching Departments are prepared by the respective Heads of the Departments. Individual academic plan is prepared by the faculty in tune with the general academic calendar. A collective monitoring system, involving the Principal and the Heads of the Departments, ensures the timely completion of the syllabus and the conduct of internal evaluative process before the University Examinations.

3 Syllabus-upgrading and modification take place at least once in five years. The faculty are given Duty Leave to participate in the workshops and seminars, organized to familiarize with the revised curriculum. Students are given copies of the syllabi so that they also may get familiar with the curriculum. The internal examinations are conducted twice in a semester, to assess the academic progress of the ward, for which a detailed plan will be given by the Academic Audit Committee in the month of June itself. Parent- teacher interface meetings are organized in each semester to discuss the performance of the student in the presence of his/her parent/guardian at the class level.

Academic Flexibility

Affiliation limits the freedom for academic flexibility, curriculum design, course structure, evaluation process, etc. Within the limited academic flexibility, the college offers extension programs that seek to train teachers in the nearby schools in soft skills and communication skills. The college also organizes academic visits for the students in schools that work in and around the region to the History Department’s collection of archival materials, the General Library, and the Language Laboratory. Selected high school and higher secondary students are also given career orientation and orientation towards higher studies.

Curriculum Enrichment

The College is affiliated to the University of Calicut. It is bound to follow the syllabus prescribed by the affiliated University. Within its limits, the College supplements the university curriculum with various activities that are required to improve the social aptitudes and employability of students. Apart from imparting quality education as per the suggested syllabus, the College takes care to arrange programs like the Scholar Support Program,and Walk With the Scholar to supplement the input. The Additional Skills Acquisition Program develops life skills, soft skills and communication skills among the student fraternity.

Since the college is set in a rural human geography, most of the beneficiaries of the programmes are from socially and economically backward areas. The students are enrolled to a number of clubs and other platforms that may extend a variety of experiences to them. Funding from all quarters and the intellectual and energy input of

4 the teachers and the local community are utilized for this purpose. The synergy thus created is channelized in an ideal way that widens and enriches the curriculum. The sensitization programmes in areas such as gender equity, social responsibility, environment awareness and biodiversity protection are also comes under the scope of these activities. Remedial coaching and value education classes, aiming at the empowerment and holistic development of the weaker sections, are also conducted.

Feedback System

The Institution collects feedback on curriculum from all its stakeholders. The impressions received from class teacher-student interactions, PTA meetings, the Alumni meetings and the faculty are compiled and reported to the affiliating University through the member of Board of Studies.

CRITERION II : TEACHING LEARNING AND EVALUATION

Student Enrolment and Profile

The admissions to various programmes are done in accordance to the rule1s and regulations given by the Government and the University from time to time. Now the admission is through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP). University will select the students and an allotment list is prepared and sent to the colleges online. The selected candidates will join the college in different spells. In this admission process category reservations (Open, Community, Sports, Differently-abled and SC/ST) are ensured. There is high demand ratio for all the programmes which may be attributed to the high percentage in results, campus discipline, commitment of the staff, their support for student progression, well equipped laboratories and other such systems, support for sports and fine arts and the good governance ensured by the administration.

Catering to Student Diversity

The college hosts a wide variety of students hailing from different strata of society. Extreme care is given for the overall growth of all students admitted to the College, irrespective of their caste, creed, colour, intellectual capacity and financial status. Majority of our students are from the weaker sections of the society. Then it is a real challenge to cope with this diverse student population. The tutorial system is in vogue in

5 the college where tutor is assigned the charge of a manageable number of students. The tutors establish a healthy relation with their wards and identify their skills, interests and their socio -economic backgrounds. The diverse needs of the learners are addressed with due care. Through personal contact, the tutors give proper guidelines and motivate them to develop interest in the subject.

The College provides remedial coaching classes for weaker students to streamline their academic performance level. The tutors mentor each student personally and students with learning difficulties are given special coaching. The Government of Kerala sponsored projects like ASAP (Additional Skill Acquisition Programme), Scholar Support Programme for weak students and Walk with a Scholar Programme for the highly talented students have been taken up by the College. It has envisaged some special measures for the integration of the differently-abled students into the general student community. The College takes all necessary steps to acquire and dispense the Government scholarships and fee concessions, to the eligible students under reservation category. The Women’s Cell of the college is keen in providing counselling and guidance for the girl students in order to equip them to overcome emotional problems. The gender sensitization is another objective of the Cell.

Teaching- Learning Process

The College takes utmost care in ensuring efficient and effective teaching by its faculty and productive learning by its wards. For achieving this goal, a number of measures are adopted at various levels - academic planning (arrangement of classes), knowledge dissemination and learning evaluation (through examinations). The Principal convenes meetings of the IQAC and the College Council to prepare a blue print of the annual academic activities and various curricular and extracurricular programmes. The IQAC plays a vital role in quality enhancement and sustenance of the teaching-learning process by giving timely directions and encouragement and providing facilities for undertaking various functions. All teachers prepare individual Academic Plan and Heads of Departments ensure strict adherence to the same. Student-centred teaching methods like participative learning, seminar presentations, experiential learning, field work, study tour etc. are integral part of the pedagogy. Use of ICT, e-learning resources, Smart Boards, etc. are encouraged in the teaching learning process and adequate infrastructural facilities

6 like library resources and internet connectivity for the updating of knowledge are provided. The faculties are continuously recharged in their respective disciplines and in professional competence through training programmes, workshops, seminars and internships both inside and outside the College. Exclusive sessions of invited lectures, exhibitions and quiz programmes are organized for students, with opportunities to interact with resource persons. This helps to widen their critical thinking ability, creativity and scientific temper. Many of the present faculties are pursuing research- based projects and publication initiatives. UGC Minor research Projects are also taken up by many of them. Recruitment is done strictly adhering to the UGC, University and State Government norms. The College always encourages the faculty to attend refresher courses, national and international conferences/seminars and workshops so as to update and equip them to handle the emerging topics. The systematic feedback mechanism from all stakeholders and at all levels helps the faculty to improve their competency.

Evaluation Process and Reforms

Class tutors are entrusted to orient students towards the University scheme of evaluation which consists of seminars, assignments, attendance, internal examinations, etc. The academic calendar prepared by the IQAC at the beginning of each academic year includes the tentative dates of the internal examinations. Curricular plan is prepared at each department level that carries a tentative schedule of the topics to be completed. Individual teachers also prepare an academic plan of action. The Examination Committees look into the conduct of internal and external examinations taking every measure to maintain confidentiality. The IQAC makes sure that the internal evaluation process is completed in time by all the Departments. To ensure transparency, the scores of internal assessment are displayed on the Departmental notice board. For redressing any grievances related to the internal evaluation, the College provides a three level grievance redressal mechanism- with the teacher concerned, with the Head of the Department and with the Principal of the College. After the internal examination the class-PTA is convened and an analysis of the result is done.

Student Performance and Learning Outcome

The College believes that education should lead to the overall development of the student and must equip them to participate in the production of knowledge at different levels.

7 The Departments also have certain clearly stated learning outcomes, specifying what the learner is expected to accomplish at the end of the programme. The Heads of the Departments sensitize the students about these learning outcomes in various Departmental programmes. The students’ performance and progress are closely monitored by the class tutors, and the results are communicated to their parents/guardians at parents’ meetings.

At college level, teachers share their views on the curriculum in college council meetings and discussion forums organized by the staff club. At the Inter collegiate level the Cluster of Colleges organize forums on curriculum design and transaction for the faculty from colleges that come under it. Such discussions help the faculty in effective transaction of the curriculum. Also the institution seeks to engage its faculty in the newest training schemes. Yearly, a percentage of the faculty attends refresher and skill-training programmes.

The faculty updates their proficiency at various streams in the discipline by diversifying their yearly allotment of portions.

28 Students respond to the changes in curricula through annual feedback forums.

The college collects feedback on curriculum from parents during the annual PTA general body meetings and the class PTAs held during each academic session.

The College beneficiaries, educationists and visionaries of the locality, and the PTA are the forums whereby the institution obtains feedback of the community on the curriculum.

The various feedbacks are analysed at the Internal Quality Assurance Cell and in the College Council. Proposals and recommendations regarding these are communicated to the University in Principals’ Conferences and through Official correspondences.

2.1 Student Enrollment and Profile

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission process? The admission process is as per the Govt. norms and the norms of the affiliated university at the UG/PG level. The college ensures publicity and transparency in the admission process and strictly follows the reservation policy set for the same. After the completion of the admission procedures, the provisional list of the students is put up on the notice board and after rectification of errors the list admitted is sent to the affiliating university for registration. At every stage of the admission procedure, the authorities can check all the documents, which render the admission procedure followed by the college quite transparent. The admission is more transparent now as all the selections and listings done are through the Single Window system by the affiliating university and readily published on the university website.

2.1.2. Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex.(i)merit(ii) common admission test conducted by state agencies and national agencies (iii) combination of merit and entrance test or merit, entrance test and interview(iv) any other) to various programmes of the Institution.

Criteria prescribed by the University of Calicut are judiciously followed for the admission process at the UG/PG level. There is no entrance tests conducted at the college level except for the selection of Non-English undergraduate candidates who applies for an admission to English for the MA English course. The college in such cases functions as an entrance-exam center then. The answer sheets are valued by the senior faculty of the department as per the guidelines provided by the University each year and the list forwarded to the University by the Principal. If the university does not prescribe a single-

43 window admission system during an academic year, the selection process will be as follows: the Applications are received by the administrative section of the college, numbered and forwarded to the departments for indexing and listing.

The departments prepare the provisional list which are countersigned by the Principal and put up on the college notice board for rectification of errors if any. The college displays the rank lists separately for the General Merit, and Reservation category seats (each category separately listed), Physically Handicapped, Sports Quota etc. strictly as per the guidelines. A copy of the admitted list/vacant seats is displayed on the college notice board and relevant ones forwarded to the affiliating university on the day of its publishing. The Individual applicants are intimated of their index positions for the programmes applied for through mail and other means to ensure a smooth/error free admission procedure. Date of admission of students is intimated by post and the details published in the college website and newspapers. After the completion of the admission procedures, the list of the students admitted is sent to the affiliating university for registration. If the university prescribes Single Window system (for both UG/PG), the entire tabulation and listing described above will be done at the university level in the university website. PG Admission process is completed as per the online allotment of the University through the Single Window System. The college only admits (after verification of relevant original certificates) the students who receive their admit cards from the university on-line. In either of these cases, at every stage of the admission procedure, the authorities can check all the documents making the admission procedure followed by the college a transparent one.

The maximum percentage for admission to all courses in the past 5 years have varied between 90-95 percentage, indicating that the best of the students choose the college for their higher education purposes. The minimum percentages of admission reach up to the barely passed students sometimes, since the college strictly follows the inclusive mechanism of admissions ruled by government reservation rules. Students from underprivileged sections of the society who find it very difficult to come up as achievers in the system of school education are given a chance by means of BPL (forward caste), SC/ST and OBC reservations to secure higher education prospects.

2.1.4. Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

At the time of interview for admission the teachers of the department evaluate the student’s competence through dialogue and discussion. Right after the admission the first year tutors call up class PTAs. Considering the diverse background of the students a record of this process is prepared, and its contents examined to assess the student’s ability or the lack of it. Apart from this, departments conduct grading tests before the official commencement of an academic programme to assess the academic standards and level of competence of the students. On the basis of the evaluation in such grading tests, subject specific orientation, communication skills and bridge programmes of short duration are organized. The grading test conducted in the beginning of the programme helps the tutors of the respective classes to have a preliminary assessment of the abilities of the wards. Further assessment on varying abilities of the wards is done through the tutorial sessions and through the periodic assessments that follow. Besides the general tutorial session, a weekly tutorial session is set aside in the time schedule for every course with a view to supplementing the course content.

49 2.2.3. What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/ Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice? • The teachers and the tutors are given complete freedom to adopt different strategies for dealing with slow and advanced learners as per the need. These include peer grouping, peer teaching, remedial classes, tutorial classes and other co-curricular activities.

• The constitution of peer groups including students of varied academic abilities and skills not only helps the academically challenged students come up in their studies but also nurtures the spirit of co-operation among the students.

• Peer teaching is another strategy employed for dealing with both slow and advanced learners. Additional or free hours are used for peer teaching where the advanced learners are encouraged and equipped to handle classes for slow learners.

• Tutors of each class identify the slow learners and arrange remedial sessions/SSP classes as per the needs of the student.

• The college gives due encouragement to the ‘advanced’ learners. Under the supervision of the class tutor department-level individual attention is given to advanced learners. Advanced learners are always encouraged to make use of the departmental stock of books/general library and resources of the college. Departments also organize various co-curricular activities with a view to making available recent trends in the subject for advanced learners.

• New Initiatives like SSP, WWS, minority coaching, Career counseling are effectively implemented in college by the departments.

50 2.2.4. How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender inclusion, environment etc.?

They plant new trees not only on campus, but in the near vicinities as well. Being a college in a rural geography relatively unpolluted by industrial waste and largely unaffected by unfavorable climate changes, the participants of the scheme are very enthusiastic in spreading awareness regarding the need to protect the environment. Distinguished law-experts visit the college every academic year to discuss issues in Human Rights, Children’s Rights and Women’s Rights. Student volunteers (CSS/NSS) observe Women’s Day, AIDS day, Earth Day and such socially important dates. They conduct campaigns under the guidance of faculty members on social inclusion of AIDS patients, the racially and economically underprivileged and the queer gender.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of advanced learners?

The college gives due encouragement to the ‘advanced’ learners. Under the supervision of the class tutors department-level individual attention is given to advanced learners.

Departments also organize various co-curricular activities with a view to providing recent trends in the subject for advanced learners. A Separate cell is formed in each department for promoting the advanced learners. Programs such as Walk with the Scholar (WWS) are designed by the New Initiatives exclusively for the benefit of advanced learners. They are

51 given resources to purchase books and avail extra training in any stream that they choose to pursue with the help of Internal and External Mentors allotted by the faculty member in charge of WWS.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of dropout (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners ,economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided)?

As the college is situated in a rural area of the socially and educationally backward region of Kozhikode district, mostly the academic drop-out happens due either to economic constrains or because of early marriage of girl children. These being the main reasons behind students dropping out, the institution solicits the co-operation of the parents at the commencement of the academic programme and through regularly held PTA meetings, offer support to the students to balance their familial and academic responsibilities. The parents and students are regularly briefed on why it is important to complete their respective programmes with creditable results. Teachers personally assist the students in catching up with the lessons they missed due to marriage and ensuing familial responsibilities and inspire and support them in achieving their goal. The orientation sessions offered at the beginning of every academic programme go a long way towards kindling interest in the students and the interest is kept alive through the interactive tutorial sessions held once a week. The personality development camps for girls held as part of the NSS activities also help them tide over the domestic crises, which hold them back from studies. The economically weak students are identified through tutorial sessions and they are given information regarding scholarships they can avail. The staff also takes initiative in supporting such students. Multiple copies of textbooks are made available in the Department and General libraries for the benefit of

52 students who cannot afford them. Thus care is taken to ensure that financial constraints do not become a deterrent to students in pursuing their studies.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1. How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation schedules?( Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print, etc.)

• The institution adheres to the academic calendar as published by the affiliating university.

• The concept of engaged learning, in which the students and teachers constantly engage in introspection and reconstruction of educational strategies, is practiced in this institution with genuine interest.

• Many of the teaching learning methods practiced at the institution as part of the newly introduced CCSS, such as interactive discussions, performance based learning- teaching projects and seminars, are student- centric. Moreover the institution takes initiative to instill in students the passion for learning and encourages them to widen their horizons of knowledge directing them to renowned institutions of learning in which they pursue their subjects of interests on a wider platform.

• The college library and the department libraries are run with the intention of instilling in the students a passion for learning, encouraging their reading habit to support the practice of life-long learning. The online and offline digital resources stored in the digital library also inspire the student to make learning transcend temporal and functional framework.

• At the department level, the respective heads of departments monitor the allotment and implementation of teaching and evaluation work. The institution conducts all the internal examinations as per the pre-published 53 schedule.

• A faculty is deputed as controller of internal examinations. The monitoring of other components of internal assessment such as seminars, assignments and attendance are done at the Departmental level. The results of the internal examinations are published as per schedule. Class PTAs are also convened as per the published schedule.

2.3.2. How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching–learning process?

Throughout the year IQAC monitors the teaching-learning process in the institution. At the end of every academic session, a sitting of the faculty is convened under the auspices of the IQAC for scheduling the teaching-learning process and evaluation methods for the coming year.

2.3.3. How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning among the students?

The concept of engaged learning in which the students and teachers constantly engage in introspection and reconstruction of educational strategy is practiced in this institution with genuine concern. Many of the teaching- learning methods practiced at the institution, as part of the newly introduced CCSS, such as interactions, discussion, performance based learning-teaching, projects and seminars, are student-centric. Moreover, the institution takes initiative to instill in students a passion for learning and encourages them to widen their horizons of knowledge directing them to pursue their higher studies in institutions of specialized learning in which they explore their subjects of interest on a wider platform. The college library and department libraries are run with the intention of encouraging the reading habit to support the practice of lifelong learning. The online and offline digital resources stored at the digital library also inspire the students to make learning transcend the temporal and 54 functional framework.

2.3.4. How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators?

The institution is keen on generating and preserving an academic culture that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper. Apart from the routine academic programmes, the institution avails itself of all the government sanctioned programs that supplement the core academic content, providing the students with technical expertise and exposure to related disciplines, contributing thus to their employability. The seminars and assignments mandatory as part of internal assessment are organised with due focus on promoting research aptitude and critical thinking and inculcating a spirit of disinterested enquiry. Altogether, the programmes developed and implemented have an academic thrust which creates an atmosphere conducive to creating lifelong learning and spirit of innovation in students.

2.3.5. What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning-resources from National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open educational resources, mobile education, etc.

The classrooms as well as auxiliary facilities have been upgraded towards a better transaction of academic content. The installation of LCD TVs and hanging projectors in the classrooms of the senior students has accentuated the ease in giving classes on Informatics, Film Studies and Theatre. The upgrading has also helped in making the teaching of communication skills a more pleasant experience to the students. ICT-enabled teaching is coupled with peer teaching, seminars, group teaching, and activity-based teaching to get the best possible

55 results. There are also enough computer laboratories and a language lab facility at the students’ disposal.

2.3.6. How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars, workshops etc.)?

• Since the teachers and the tutors are given academic development freedom, different strategies are in practice in catching up with new technologies and recent knowledge. These include peer grouping, peer teaching, external experts’ sessions, and other co-curricular activities such as seminars and workshops.

• Peer teaching is another strategy employed for teachers’ updating in their own field. Additional or free hours are used for peer teaching. The teachers engaged in peer teaching share their notes and develop methods to create a positive updating of their streams. This is very effective when related disciplines such as History and Economics or Economics and Politics are clubbed for the purpose.

• Also, to keep pace with the recent developments in various subjects, the teachers and students are provided with learning facilities like the library, digital library and Internet lab. The library contains a good collection of books, journals and magazines. The digital library provides access to a large collection of digital books, audio books, research papers and other articles, magazines, audio and video lessons and tutorial contents. The

56 Internet lab provides access to the unlimited digital contents available at the World Wide Web. The teachers are also given access to the online journals of the INFLIB Net. Besides, the students and faculty make use of seminars, workshops and conferences organized at the University, regional, state, national and international levels to update themselves.

Students Counselling Support is offered for the students. Under the initiatives of the Career Guidance Cell, which doubles up as the Placement Cell of the college, students are given career orientation and training. Counselling on higher education opportunities and career prospects are offered individually and collectively. Professional Counsellors are brought to the college to hold sessions with students, usually girls. As the student-faculty ratio is favourable, the faculty offer academic and personal counselling individually. Academic counselling is given both to the academically challenged and the promising students. As a result the students have been motivated to pursue their studies in institutions of national repute such as EFLU, HCU, JNU, Pondicherry CU etc. Hailing from a socially underprivileged rural background, majority of the students are academically challenged. The teachers tutor them individually both during tutorial sessions and off hours. The weekly tutorial sessions provide an excellent forum for personal counselling.

2.3.8. Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by the faculty during the last four years? What are the efforts made by the institution to encourage the faculty to adopt new and innovative approaches and the impact of such innovative practices on student learning? 1.

As per the guidelines of the newly introduced CCSS, the progress of students has to be internally monitored through continuous evaluation that consists of test papers, seminars, assignments, projects and attendance. The college implements the internal evaluation process effectively and in the centralized 64 mode as per a pre-published schedule. The performance of the students is continuously monitored and recorded which is discussed and analyzed by the tutor in the general tutorial hours. Based on their performance levels students are then given guidance. The grades of the individual components of internal evaluation are published on the department notice boards immediately on completion of evaluation. The final grades in the internal evaluation are also put up on the notice board and grievances remedied before being forwarded to the university. Class PTA meetings are held at least once in a semester. Tutors of the respective classes discuss the performance of the students with their parents and suggest measures for improvement.

2.5.5. Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)

Teaching-learning programme has been changed from Annual system to Semester System both at UG and PG level. Continuous Evaluation and grading system has been introduced. ICT tools are used for teaching in the place of conventional method. Change from teacher centred to student centred approach is a sign of academic progress. All stipulations in the university syllabi regarding continuous evaluation are followed in the by the departments.

2.5.6. What are the graduates attributes specified by the college/affiliating university?

65 examination, failing which will disqualify him/her for a Graduation Degree

The college sees to it that the students are trained in external examination question patterns. It responds to the university requirements of internal marks uploading promptly and systematically. Projects are done under faculty supervision and are submitted as and when the university stipulates. Faculty who arrive from the other colleges for conducting the external viva-voce are received and are given a context to conduct the exam and mark the students off their free judgment without any interventions from the part of departments.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and University level?

As per the guidelines of the newly introduced CCSS, a two-level grievance redressal mechanism functions in the college. A grievance redressal committee comprising course teacher and one senior teacher as members and the Head of the department as chairman functions in each department. This committee addresses grievances, if any, relating to the internal assessment grades of the students within the department. Besides this department-level committee, there is a college level grievance redressal committee comprising the student advisor, two senior teachers and two staff council members (one shall be elected member) as members and the Principal as chairman. The grievances that cannot be redressed at the department levels, if any, will be referred to the college level grievance redressal committee for amicable settlement.

2.6. Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1. Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If‘yes’ give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these? The college has clearly stated learning outcomes. The restructured curriculum framed by the University for graduate and postgraduate 66 programmes envisions a value-based higher education which aims at the wholesome development of students by honing their technological, professional, academic, communication, cognitive and reasoning skills and competence, without losing sight of the ethical and social values. At the college level, teachers share their views on the teaching-learning process and learning outcomes in college council meetings and discussion forums organized by the staff club. At the Inter collegiate level the Cluster of Colleges organize forums for the faculty from colleges that come under it. Also the institution seeks to engage its faculty in the newest training schemes. Yearly, a percentage of the faculty take part refresher and skill-training programmes that will ensure the perfect realization of the learning outcomes. As for the students, every course states it professed aim and the components thereof in the syllabi administered over each academic year. Annual diaries and academic calendars where learning outcomes are detailed are made available to the students.

The NSS as well as departments frequently engage in extension programs that involve the dissemination of ideas regarding the courses that the college offers now. The Department of English for example organizes workshops for high school students and school teachers on a range of topics starting from communication skills and creative thinking to poetry reading and film appreciation. This not only draws interested future prodigies to their academic destinies but also implant the emerging branches of English studies firmly in the mind of embedding community. The department of history, to cite another example, uses its space to collect fossils and archaeological specimens that could be observed by the visitors to the department, ranging from students to experts. This puts local historiography squarely in the local consciousness of people and promotes postmodern studies of microhistories. The department of mathematics offers exhibitions and ‘mathematics for entrance examinations’ to the students and select extra-campus beneficiaries, thus publicizing the scope and relevance of mathematics. The department of commerce organizes large scale intercollegiate business festivals annually. These fests are visited by several colleges in and around the place. Also, the fests invite local political representatives for presiding over the formalities.

70 2.6.5. How does the institution collect and analyze data on student performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?

Regular internal Evaluation Examinations are conducted in each department. This is the major method through which the progress and performance of the students are monitored. There are two internal examinations in the course of a semester that also requires the students to submit assignments ranging from research papers to project works. These documents also make significant input in collecting students’ performance statistics. Success tips are given to students based on their performance levels. The grades of the individual components of internal evaluation are published on the department notice boards immediately on completion of evaluation. The final grades in the internal evaluation are also put up on the notice board and grievances remedied before being forwarded to the university. The college office keeps track of the university results. These discussions eventuate in deciding the strategies to better classroom transactions during the next academic year. The students who pass out are made to contact with the alumni group so that their career development can be effectively followed.

2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes? Annual diaries and academic calendars are made available to the students to communicate to them the academic plans of the college for an academic year. The calendar reproduces the university academic schedule for a year that would be followed in the college. As per the university schedule, regular internal Evaluation Examinations are conducted in each department. This is the major method through which the learning outcomes are monitored. There are two internal examinations in the course of a semester that also requires the students to submit assignments ranging from research papers to project works. These documents also make significant input in collecting students’ performance 71 statistics. Success tips are given to students based on their performance levels.

The alumni keep track of students’ development and growth after they leave the campus. The intended learning outcomes of the college are ensured by following student performances keenly both while they are within the campus and after they move out of it.

2.6.7. Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation outcomes 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.

Yes. The college uses assessment outcomes as indicators for student performances. For instance, the Scholar Support Program that identifies the underachievers and focuses on training them uses the marks scored in a semester to locate its beneficiaries. Across the departments, SSP functions as a centralized Remedial coaching session and helps the college to keep track of the performance of the students by analyzing assessment outcomes. The scores in the internal exams are discussed with the parents during the class PTAs. This too is another instance where students’ performance evaluation is done by means of the scores obtained in assessment tests.

Any other relevant information regarding Teaching-Learning and Evaluation which the college would like to include. The concept of engaged learning in which the students and teachers constantly engage in introspection and reconstruction of educational strategy is practiced in this institution with genuine concern. Many of the teaching-learning methods practised at the institution, as part of the newly introduced CCSS, such as interactive, discussion, performance based learning-teaching, projects and seminars are student-centric. Moreover, the institution takes initiative to instill in students a passion for learning and encourages them to widen their horizons of knowledge directing them to 72 pursue their higher studies in institutions of specialised learning in which they explore their subjects of interest on a wider platform. The college library and department libraries are run with the intention of encouraging the reading habit to support the practice of lifelong learning. The online and offline digital resources stored at the digital library also inspire the students to make learning transcend the temporal and functional framework.

Archival Exhibition

Archival documents constitute one of the most valuable and readily available sources of history. Historians, genealogists, lawyers, demographers, filmmakers, and others conduct research at archival repositories. Archival Studies is rightly regarded as the prominent among the many auxiliary disciplines of history. To make students thoroughly aware of the rich historical, cultural and administrative value of archives, the Department of History, in collaboration with Kerala State Archives Department has organized an exhibition of selected archival documents on 17th December 2013 at College Seminar Hall.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Sri. C.P Abdul Majeed, Chief Archivist, Regional Archives, Kozhikode. He also delivered an interesting and highly informative talk on The Significance of Archives. The talk was followed by

201 an interactive session in which students raised several question regarding the prominence and accessibility of archival documents.

A total number of 300 hundred enlarged and laminated versions of archival documents relating to various aspects of the history of Kerala in general and that of Malabar in particular were displayed as exhibits. The main attractions of the exhibition included the documents related to Malabar Rebellion, ThrippadiDhanam, Smarthavicharam, Tipu sultan’s land grants etc.

The department tried their level best to make the exhibition extremely fruitful by inviting the students and teachers of neighboring schools. The education community of the area took this good gesture of extension positively and the result was the unprecedented turn-out of students, teachers and even the local people to see the exhibition. The media gave a commendable pre and post event coverage of the programme which also contributed for the remarkable enthusiasm from the local public.

Career Guidance Programme for Higher Secondary School Students (Outreach Programme)

Experts who have examined Kerala’s educational development, almost unanimously pointed out the overemphasis given to professional courses like medicine and engineering as one of the major lacuna of Kerala education system. The overwhelming demand for these two professional courses inevitably resulted in the sheer negligence or lack of enthusiasm for disciplines categorized as humanities or social sciences, more specifically history. Today, the general tendency among the brightest students in the state is to opt for professional courses. Naturally, only the mediocre students are left to pursue higher studies in branches of social sciences like history. One of the major reasons for this general aversion to humanities is the lack of proper guidance regarding the opportunities and prospects awaiting those who have pursued higher studies in history. Not only the students, the parents and even a section of the teachers are ignorant of the exact volume of career opportunities existing in this field. 202 These circumstances prompted us to organize a one day career guidance session on 14th December 2013 targeting the students of neighboring higher secondary schools. The session was designed as an outreach programme in which the targeted audience would be provided with a through and practical awareness of the academic, career and research opportunities awaiting those who are ready to choose history as their optional subject for higher studies. The session was led by K.K. Ashraf, HoD of History. He effectively elaborated the academic and career opportunities awaiting those who are willing to take history as their optional subject for higher studies. He enumerated the wide variety of opportunities ranging from clerical jobs to the prestigious Indian Administrative Service. He also pointed out the better future awaiting those who are willing to study history seriously or to pursue a career in historical research. Then he enumerated the major central universities and other nationally reputed institutions where the students can enroll themselves for higher studies so as to pursue a better career in academics.

Interdisciplinary Faculty Exchange Programme

The focus of the thematic common courses in additional languages (Malayalam, Hindi, Arabic etc.) to be taught as per the revised curriculum for Under Graduate Programmes (CCSS) of the University of Calicut is on Cultural Studies. These courses, prescribed for the first four semesters discuss various aspects pertaining to the origin and development of Indian culture with particular reference to Kerala. An effective handling of classes in the subject would invariably demand an interdisciplinary approach by combining the content and methodology of various subjects such as history, sociology and linguistics. So, the Department of Oriental Languages sought the supportive collaboration of the Department of History and put forward the proposal for an Interdisciplinary Faculty Exchange Programme. The Department of History whole heartedly accepted this proposal in its true spirit. The result was an Interdisciplinary Faculty Exchange Programme materialized through the

203 conducting of a full day seminar on Cultureand Civilization by the department of Oriental Languages at College Seminar Hall on 12th February 2014. In this seminar MuhammedSirajudin K and Ashraf K.K,faculties of the Department of History have handled two separate technical sessions on the Evolution of Culture in Kerala and Socio-Religious Reform Movements respectively.

269 SectionINSTITUTIONALD DATA F: POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES

270 5. Post-accreditation Initiatives

Government College, Mokeri submitted its self study report to NAAC for assessment and accreditation. A peer team consisting of Prof. Chidananda Gowda as Chairman, Smt. Bharati Naik as member and Prof. T. Siddaiah as member coordinator visited the college on 8th and 9th February 2006 and accredited the college with Grade B.

The executive committee of the national assessment and accreditation council on recommendation ot the duly appointed peer team had declared our college as accredited with B grade on 21 May 2006. On hearing from NAAC the college council resolved to constitute the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) on 20 June 2007 as a post accreditation initiative. Since its formation adhering to the directions of the NAAC from time to time the IQAC consistently making efforts to bring up the quality of education in every respect keeping in view of the recommendations and observations of the NAAC peer team report.

At the very outset, we place the major recommendations of the peer team during the visit of the first cycle of accreditation for reference and analysis of the post accreditation initiatives taken up by us.

. There are no teachers in the board of studies of various disciplines from the college.

Being a college, entirely run by the Government of Kerala, we have limitations in bringing teachers who are already members of the board of studies. However, considerable efforts have been taken to bring teachers who are in the board of studies. Accordingly, in the department of Mathematics, two teachers are already in the board of studies for Mathematics constituted by the university of Calicut and Kannur. Likewise, two teachers, one of them being the chairman, from the department of History have also got the privilege to be members of the board of studies in the university of Calicut and Kannur. Moreover, two teachers

271 in the department of Oriental Languages have got opportunity to be part of the board of studies of the university of Calicut. In the department of English also there was a teacher in the board of studies for B.A. Functional English.

. Students do not have the chance for elective options.

A major handicap in the case of students was that of the non availability of elective options. In fact, the university of Calicut had no such facility in the yester years. It is quite recently that the university restructured the curriculum of undergraduate as well as postgraduate programmes. Now the students are free to choose from the available options offered by the university for each programme.

. Take initiatives to start Master degree programmes in the college.

As for the third suggestion on Postgraduate programmes, the college came successful in starting two new P.G. courses. Master of Arts in English Language and Literature started in 2006-2007 academic year was the first instance. Secondly M.Sc in Mathematics started in the academic year 2013-14.

. More teaching faculty with Ph. D degree required.

Our college has at present several Ph.D teachers viz. two in Mathematics, four in English, one in the department of History, one in Malayalam, and one in the department of Hindi. Apart from this, there are two teachers pursuing research degree after completing M.Phil, in the department of English, two in the department of History, and one in the department of Mathematics.

. Enhance the number of books in library.

The college has a well equipped and well maintained library in which there are more than 20 thousand books added considerably each year. Moreover, there is a facelift to the library in the sense that a new era of library buffering has dawned with the availablilty of inflibnet, digital books and e books in pdf format.

272 . No Physical Education teacher with permanent status and the improvement of facilities necessary.

The department of physical education still has to get a permanent teacher who is expected in the next academic year. In fact there was a teacher, in the years 2012- 2015, who got transferred to another government college, nearby.

. College calendar to be modified.

College Calendar has been updated and new issue was published starting from the academic year 2015-16 with details of the faculty, courses and programmes, and rules and regulations.

. Student scholarship support has to be improved.

With regard to student scholarship, there has been a quantum jump in recent years. Therefore almost 100 percent scholarship is made available to meritorious students by the government agencies and several social and non- governmental bodies to this effect

. Dropout rate of students should be minimized.

There has been a considerable decrease in the dropout rate of students and the rate has gone down as far as 6 percent in comparison with the previous years.

. Teacher, Non-teaching staff training programme not adequate.

Several measures have been taken by the government of Kerala and various nodal agencies for the enhancement of teaching performance and service by administrative personnel of this college. All the teaching members of the college have undergone orientation and refresher courses conducted by the UGC- HRD centres under various universities. Apart from they have been selected to undergo several academic enhancement programmes under the initiatives of the state government and union government apart from various agencies that conduct such programmes. The non-teaching members of the college undergo

273 mandatory periodic refresher and in service courses from time to time that pave the way for furthering their capabilities.

. Financial expenditure budget to be maximized

Financial outlay for the academic and non academic activities of the college has been enhanced and the detailed expenditure chart is provided elsewhere in this report.

. Canteen facility to be started

At present we have a full fledged canteen facility which has been set up as per the suggestions of the peer naac team.

. Central library should have separate building.

A detailed proposal with estimate for a central library has been submitted to Mr. Richard Hay the honourable member of parliament and former principal of this college. It is hoped that the project will be materialized once the MP takes a decision in this regard positively.

. Basic amenities for girls need improvement

The facilities of the girl students of the college have been increased and there is a separate girls’ room in the college at present. We are planning to install wending machines for sanitary napkins and provision for the waste disposal too.

. More avenues for personality development needed

Students are now at a great advantage in the case of personality advancement coaching. They get opportunities to improve their prospects by all means through effective coaching at present. Government funded programmes, such as ASAP, WWS, SSP and several other such programmes are implemented in the college successfully so as to give chances to the students for their improvement in every respect.

274 . Qualified staff members lack in.

As a fillip to this suggestion, it may be mentioned that the college has a community of highly qualified professionals as per UGC norms. Apart from being NET qualified ones, most of them are eminent scholars with M.Phil and Ph.D. Moreover, they publish articles, books and monographs and present papers in seminar in their respective fields.

. Career orientation courses to be started.

There are several initiatives under the State Government of Kerala, like WWS, SSP, ASAP, FLIER, and MOODLE programmes with a view to open up opportunities to the students for pursuing their desired career. Regular orientation programmes are conducted at institution level and at various other levels.

. Well equipped auditorium is necessary in the college

. Internet facility must be provided

Each department of the college has been equipped with internet facility apart from wifi connections available for the students as well as staff members.

. There is no NCC unit in the college

At present there are no NCC qualified teachers in the college. Yet, there is a plan to apply for an NCC unit for girls and request the government to transfer a teacher with NCC qualifications.

275 . There are no hostels for girls

Most of the students are from nearby rural areas. The need for a hostel has not been felt due to this. However, proposal has been submitted to the government for sanctioning hostel for the girls.

. Computer labs must be improved

The computer labs are improved and there are more than three computer labs in the college, apart from Language lab, Inflibnet, Edusat, Online library lab and cyber point

. Classroom facilities should be enhanced

The classroom scenario has thoroughly undergone modifications. There are short throw projectors in all classrooms. The classrooms had been equipped with monitors and green boards early. There are smart board classrooms in all the departments.

. General ambience of the college needs refurbishing

Academic and non-academic ambience has improved over the last several years. The infrastructure and a general environment of the college have to be further improved. A proposal and funds have been allowed for the refurbishment of the college building and environment and sent to the Public Works Department of Kerala.

. Student empowerment and social service activities should find a place in the institution.

There are several initiatives on the part of the college for student empowerment like the setting up of women grievance cell, anti-harassment cell. The students have undertaken several projects under various clubs and cells for society reaching programmes. Besides, we have two NSS units at present, which

276 conduct a lot of activities with a view to make the students aware that they are part of the society and the need to engage in it.

. Pressurize the University for implementing semester system in the college.
