CRITERION 1

TEACHING LEARNING COMPONENT

In the teaching learning criteria, the maximum score that can be obtained by any institution is 140, out of which each institution has to evaluate its own score by self-assessment process. In this component our college has claimed a score of 123. The overall teaching learning criteria is divided into five sub components. The key headings of this criterion are teaching learning, flipped classroom and blended teaching. In order to keep pace with the technologically oriented world, all the teaching staff makes use of all the smart teaching methods viz. lecture based method, blended teaching and flipped classroom method. The entire teaching methodology is student centric that caters to the needs of the students,

The second sub component is curriculum planning and implementation. In order to actualize this objective, a strict teaching schedule is followed throughout the year. The roadmap for this is prepared at the outset of the session. The learning objective and outcome is clearly defined to convey to the learners in every class that facilitates the students in grasping the objective of every class they attend.  In a bid to enhance the benefits of academic endeavors, curriculum enrichment practices such as project, surveys, educational tours, industry visits etc. are also undertaken. Besides external examination, the internal assessment mechanism also runs parallel basis that includes practices such as quizzes, class test, presentation, assignments, house examination etc. There is a transparent system of assessment and every effort is made to do justice to the hard work and caliber of each student. The score of internal assessment is communicated to the student and one week’s time is allotted to students so as to leave space for any amendment if any left due to any lapse in assessment.

In order to give a competitive edge to students, couple of add-on courses and certificate courses have been functional in our institution. These were run und Skill Development Allowance Scheme (HPKVN) in which as many as 220 students got enrolled and availed the benefits of these courses to the maximum.

To let the stakeholders have a say in the teaching-learning process, our college ensure a transparency in tits functioning. One of the methods to ensure this is to get the feedback of the students through online mode. The proper and timely action is taken by the administration to address the feedback given by the students.
