There are seven full time and 20 guest faculty members supported by a team of hard working and efficient non-teaching staff. The preparation of Self Study Report (SSR) of the college has helped us to gain an in- depth insight into the strengths and weaknesses of our institution. A brief summary of the seven criteria in the SSR is given below:
Criteria – 1: Curricular aspects
The mission, vision and objective of Government First Grade College, Arsikere is amply reflected in the college motto of “Galvanize pupils attitude”. Right from its inception in 2006 till today the college has been striving hard to provide quality education. Empowerment of rural youth by developing in them a thirst for knowledge, research, freedom of expression, respect for culture, being eco friendly with nature and generating sensitivity towards one‟s environment are some the focal points around which the institution works. All departments in the college organize seminars, symposia, study tours and other academic activities to strengthen the teaching learning process. Continuous Internal Evaluation of the students ensures prompt interventions for the effective transaction of the curriculum. The various Departments, the Staff Council, committees, and NSS units run comprehensive programmes for the betterment of the students in particular and society at large. Continuous efforts are made to update college infrastructure like the college library, seminar Hall, website, college office, the classrooms and labs with the latest technology.

The co-education exists in the college and it aims at imparting holistic education with sufficient weightage to ethical and moral principles. Faculty members participate in conferences, seminars workshops, refresher courses and orientation programmes to update their knowledge and skills. To enhance the performance of students, institution conducts unit tests, seminars, presentation etc. Remedial classes on specific subjects like English literature, Grammar and on commerce subjects will be engaged to the students who are non-commerce and slow learners. Each department under the supervision of IQAC conducts special lectures relevant to their subjects.
Criteria- 3: Research, Consultancy and Extension
Since teaching, research and extension are the three major dimensions of higher education, the college promotes a research culture among faculty and students. As the college is yet to be recognized by the UGC under section 12 (B), the teachers are not able to receive any research grants or projects from the UGC. All faculties are encouraged to attended & present papers in University, State, National and International Conferences, Seminars and Workshops. Five faculties are M.Phil holders and among them one is pursuing Ph.D and others are engaged in writing research papers on various topics. The Extension Programs like NSS, Red Cross, Scouts and Guides provide ample opportunities to students to reach society and contribute to promote the national

To make the campus eco-friendly, plantation programs (VANAMAHOTSAVA) are conducted.
Criteria – 4: Infrastructure and Learning Resources
A good infrastructure is the foundation upon which teaching and learning process stands. The college has to depend on the grants from the government for books and furniture. However the sanctioned or available funds are being utilized properly for the benefit of students. The current infrastructure has been developed to cater to the modern requirements of students and campus community. The college has a own building with 10 acres of spacious land with a built up area of 1151.4 sq mts.

requirements of the students. The students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular and co-curricular activities. Numbers of committees are formed apart from NSS and Sports Department to facilitate activities of the students in multiple dimensions.
