All aided employees of college are paid by the state government at the UGC scale or the State Government Scale, and therefore the college experiences little difficulty in getting and retaining faculty and staff of requisite standard and quality. All stipulations laid by the UGC from time to time regulating selection and appointment of teachers are invariably incorporated into the University statutes and coupled with the State Civil Service Rules, form the code that govern the service conditions of the faculty and staff. The temporary teachers are encouraged to attend the faculty development programmes, seminars, workshops and conferences. The college is providing research facilities to the teachers. Seshadripuram Research Foundation & Seshadripuram Institute of Advanced Studies and Research, at Yelahanka new town, Bangalore, the sister institution run by SET providing facilities to the faculty to register for Ph.D. Faculties of various departments are also encouraged to pursue M.Phil. and Ph.D. at various universities. To encourage the enhancement of knowledge, skill and to promote research activities, the management has the scheme of providing additional increments in salaries, for those who have completed their M.Phil, or Ph.D. Selection norms that are followed in recruitment of the faculty are: Marks allotted to the candidates based on various attributes such as NET, Ph.D., M.Phil, rank, experience, publications and interview. In the interview, personality, communication skills, computer knowledge, teaching ability, proficiency in ICT and soft-skills are given weightage. 2.4.2.

Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process? The college has the practice of evaluation of teachers by the students, which is there in practice from many years. External peer evaluation of aided faculty members are done by the Department of Collegiate Education, Government of Karnataka, on the basis of the observations and recommendations made by the college principal, as an essential screening for promotion. Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 61

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION Peer evaluation of faculty members of self-financed courses are being done by the committee constituted by the college management, on the basis of observations and report submitted by the principal of the college at the end of every academic year. The results of student evaluation done anonymously on a ten-point scale, considering the professional knowledge, instructional planning, instructional delivery, assessment of learning, learning environment, professionalism and student academic progress - are ultimately passed on to the faculty at the end of every year. 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 entire process of evaluation mainly comprises of internal and external examinations, which is made known to all segments of stakeholders through announcements made by the university and by the college much in advance. Every teacher briefs the student with regards to the steps and grade involved in the process of internal assessment at the beginning of the semester, and every student is also well briefed on the process of evaluation of external examination for both theory and practical examination. For university examinations, the model question papers and question papers of previous examinations are made available to the students in the college library. The question paper pattern is discussed in the classrooms and copies of schemes of valuation are shared with the students to acquaint them with the expected answers. For internal assessment assignments, the criteria of evaluation are explained clearly before and after the assignment in the class. Display boards are used for informing students about the award of internal assessment, schemes of evaluation, dos and don ts during theory and practical examinations. Apart from the University examinations, class tests by the concerned subject teacher, pre-final examinations and practical examinations are the main procedures of institutional evaluation. In addition, the assignments and presentations done by the students are also evaluated for the purpose of awarding internal assessment marks. Attendance percentage is also one of the main criteria adopted for the award of internal assessment marks and grades. Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 62

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION 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? Bangalore University, the affiliating university of the college has introduced semester scheme for all U.G and P.G. courses in the year 2004. The university has also introduced the system of internal assessment. Subject teachers allot the internal assessment marks based on submission of given assignments, performance in skill development, performance in tests and also attendance. Based on the recommendations of the academic committee of the university, the syllabus of all under graduate courses have been revised from the academic year 2011-12, and internal marks system has been replaced by grading system, which also revised the pattern of the question paper. The university has also introduced computerized tabulation of marks and announcement of results through university website. Since June 2009, there has been a concerted effort by the university to streamline the evaluation and evaluation-related grievance redressal mechanism. Students are required to get photocopies of their answer scripts before applying for revaluation. Faculty members guide students to realistically assess their answer scripts before applying for revaluation. 2.5.3. How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own? The university and the college have their own elaborate fool-proof mechanism for effective implementation of any examination reforms. Being an affiliated college, the college has a little say in evolving an examination pattern except when these questions are taken up for discussion in university bodies concerned with examination. Many teachers of the college are university examiners in their subjects and they put forward their views and suggestions as and when a reform is introduced. But once a system comes into effect, the college cannot have a course different from the one set out by the university. In the case of the internal examination also, the broad pattern is prescribed by the university and the colleges are expected to follow the pattern. A faculty, normally one of the members of examination committee of the college links the university and the college in examination matters and Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 63

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION keeps track of all the developments in the university s examination operations. Internal exams are announced early enough and examination committee collects question papers from the teachers on a prescribed date. Internal evaluation is made based on prescribed norms given by the university. Grades and internal marks allotted by the teachers are checked by the HOD and sent to the University on the prescribed date and in the prescribed format, after displaying on the notice board for the verification by the students. 2.5.4. Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system. In the Formative Assessment, every semester the student appears for two internals and the average of the two is taken as the score. These tests are diagnostic as well as remedial as they provide effective feedback to students, allow for the active involvement of students in their own learning, enable teachers to take account of the results of assessment and recognize the profound influence that assessment has on the motivation and the self-esteem of students, both of which are crucial influences on learning. Other means of testing such as quiz, interview, paper presentation & group discussions, practical examinations and assignments are also made use of. Scores of the assessment done periodically are shown to the students and parents so as to encourage continuous participatory improvement, which also form part of the results of the summative assessment. Summative Assessment, the final assessment of performance at the end of every semester is external and is carried out by the university. It is a pen and paper test. The evaluation is carried out by the examiners appointed by the University and the teachers of the college hardly have any chance to evaluate the papers of their own students. Formative and summative assessments have typically contrastive outcomes. The results of the formative test help the teacher to decide on the teaching-learning process according to the academic level of students while the other occurs at the end of a learning unit and determines how much of the content taught is retained by the student. Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 64

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION 2.5.5. Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress and performance of students through the duration of the course/programme? Provide an analysis of the students results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across the programmes/courses offered. As the college is an evening college, and meant for those who wanted to learn while they earn. Most of the students of the college are from rural background, and working in day time for their livelihood and try to improve the educational qualification. As most of their time utilized for their earnings and travel, they hardly find any time to study. However, the teachers are making constant efforts to see that the students completed their course. The results for the previous semester are: B.A / B.Com / B.Sc Results for 2012 13 CLASS B.A SEME STER APPEAR ED I CLASS II CLASS III CLASS TOTA L PASS PASS (%) 1 SEM 59 1 7 8 16 27% 3 SEM 60 5 5 4 14 23% 5 SEM 78 29 16 5 50 64% 1 SEM 270 28 12 19 59 22% B.Com 3 SEM 233 8 37 31 76 33% 5 SEM 249 52 54 13 119 48% 1 SEM 12 1 1 0 2 17% B.Sc 3 SEM 10 1 2 1 4 40% 5 SEM 19 3 0 0 3 16% 2.5.6. 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.) The affiliating university introduced semester scheme to all UG and PG courses from the academic year 2004 05. As a part of semester scheme it has also introduced the system of internal assessment. Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 65

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION The concerned subject teachers are to allot the internal assessment marks. The standard guideline followed in the college for the allotment of internal marks is based on submission of given assignments, performance in skill development, performance in tests and also attendance. The students are well informed about the process of awarding the internal assessment marks. However, based on the recommendations of the academic committee of the university, the syllabus of all under graduate courses have been revised from the academic year 2011-12, and internal marks system has been replaced by grading system. The internal assessment marks and grades awarded by subject teachers are verified by the HOD and sent to the University on the prescribed date and in the prescribed format, after displaying on the notice board for the verification by the students. However, to ensure transparency of the evaluation process, the internal assessment grade awarded to the students in each course in a semester is published on the notice board at least one week before the commencement of external examination. There is no chance for improving the internal grades. Each student is asked to verify his / her internal marks and acknowledge it. If they have any grievance, they can immediately approach the Head of the Department or the Principal and seek redress. 2.5.7. Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation 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 internal assessment marks and grades awarded to the students through the process of internal assessment / evaluation is considered as one of the indicators for evaluating student performance. The tests and examinations conducted by the college to assess accomplishment of the learning objectives by the students are not always at par with the university set patterns. However, the pre-final examination conducted in the college is always in the pattern of the University examination. This is aimed at preparing the students for the university exam. Our intention is to ensure that the skill and proficiency of the student is fully assessed in relation to the set objective. Thus, the internal assessments made at the department level are fully designed based on the skills to be earned by the students at the end of the programme. Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 66

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION Faculty members of the college derive student learning indicators (grades) through systematic analysis of student projects, exams, or sets of specified course assignments which fulfill all the necessary conditions that go to make good evidence and vindicate learning outcomes of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and behaviour. The results of each semester are evaluated, a thorough analysis is made and the outcomes of both the written and oral examinations are presented to the management. Departments are, indeed, appreciated for good performance. Subject teachers explain positive and negative outcomes and chalk out future plans to improve the performance. 2.5.8. What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and University level? With regards to the internal marks awarded at college level, student can approach the concerned subject teacher immediately after the mark list is exhibited on the notice board. Grievances relating to the university examinations generally require formal settlement at the University level as per the provisions contained in the university statutes. The college is having a separate grievance redressal cell and a student welfare officer to help the students with regard to the grievances relating to the university. Students can apply for revaluation if they are dissatisfied with the marks awarded. In rare cases, when the marks of a group of students are affected students can approach directly the Controller of Examinations or the Vice Chancellor. 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? Yes, Student learning outcomes are defined in terms of the knowledge, skills, and abilities that students have attained as a result of their involvement in a particular set of educational experiences. Some of the benefits of using student learning outcomes are as follows: Increased students awareness and involvement in their own learning. A common language and framework for discussions about learning within departments. A context for course design and revision. An approach to curriculum assessment and change. An important step towards clear communication Seshadripuram Evening Degree College Page 67

CRITERION II : TEACHING-LEARNING EVALUATION The student learning outcomes are discussed at departmental level in departmental meeting and the same is explained to staff and students. 2.6.2. How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes? It is the learning outcome that determines the strategies of teaching, learning and assessment. Structuring of these strategies of this college is integrative, sequential and coherent. They are so designed to ensure that the learning outcomes are positively achieved. There is ample planning and mapping in advance to allow space in the curriculum for students to learn in different ways at different rates. Enough time is also set apart for creativity, knowledge depth and personal growth. It also ensures that there is essential balance between lectures, seminars, and self-directed and autonomous learning activities in the programme, providing for generating among the students a desire for enquiry and research. With regards to assessment strategies, the college has assessments for learning and of learning.

CRITERION VII : INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES Best Practice III 1. Title of the Practice: 2. Goal: Free Health and Blood Donation Camps. Health consciousness creates healthy society. The goal of the college is to create health awareness among students and parents, and also creating awareness among the students to serve the society through the noble act of voluntary blood donation. 3. The Context: Most of the students are from rural area and normally they and their parents do not have primary health awareness. As a result the parents and students face various health problems. Majority of the students are ignorant about the uses and benefits of blood donation. Hence, the college conducts free health camps and voluntary Blood Donation Camps to create awareness of good health among the students and parents. Serious ailments came into light during the health checkup. Some of them are diagnosed with heart ailments, poor vision and malnutrition. The main objective of the college is to create healthy family and healthy society. 4. The Practice: Special health camps are conducted every year in collaboration with reputed hospitals like Narayana Hrudayalaya, Narayana Nethralaya, Panacea Hospital etc. Expert doctors examine the parents, staff and students and suggested the required medical aid for them. Some of them are advised to go for further examination. Such patients are treated in these hospitals with nominal charges. During the health check-up camps, parents, students and staff interact with doctors and get their doubts clarified. The doctors help the parents and students to overcome their superstitious beliefs regarding their ill health.

The health centre is equipped with the basic facilities. 5. Evidence of Success: Health camps have created awareness on their personal hygiene. It has brought tremendous change in their attitude towards the bad habits. Many of them have given up their bad habits and turned into new life. To manage the stress and strain of students, the counselling cell is opened in college which offers personal counselling. The students have come out of their personality disorders such as maladjustment, peer pressure, complexity and inhibitions. Students who have come out of such inhibitions are now helping their friends and family members to come out of such complexities. 6. Problems Encountered: Initially the parents are reluctant to attend health camps due to ignorance, fear and superstitious belief; students too avoided attending the counselling due to fear complex. Despite of doctors advice to eat healthy food, students go for low priced unhealthy food as they come from an economically poor background. 7. Resources Required: Infrastructural facilities are required to conduct the camps. Financial assistance, medical team consisting of expert doctors and personal counselors should be made available. Moreover the medical assistance and co-operation is required from voluntary organizations like the Indian Red Cross Society, Blood Banks, Lions Club and so on to organize Voluntary Blood Donation Camps.
