2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the College 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?

Yes, College has a committee that reviews the admission process.

This Committee is headed by the Principal of the College and all the

Heads/Coordinators of various academic departments are the members of this

committee.


To review the admission process, College undergoes rigorous comparative

analysis for the number of enquires, prospectus distributed, and students admitted.

College keeps a database of enquires from prospective students and how the

candidates came to know about the College is also recorded. This data is analyzed to

identify the most effective medium of publicity. The various media for publicity are

Newspapers, Friends/Relatives, Websites, etc. An analysis of the feedback given by

the candidates who appear for the entrance test provides valuable inputs for improving

the pattern of entrance test.

Class counselors regularly counsel the students and maintain the student

profile forms. The same is also reflected through online profile forms which are even

accessible to the parents for regular updates about their ward. The counselor prepares

the students’ profile for reference which includes academic performance, attendance,

regularity, behavior, special remarks etc. Class counselors maintain close relationship

with parents through letters, phone calls, parents’ workshop and parents’ teachers’

meetings. Class counselor acts as a mentor, guide and facilitator for academic

performance as well as co-curricular activities, career counseling and personal

guidance. It has been felt that mentoring and counseling ensures continuous and

consistent progress of students.

2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for

following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy

of the College and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect the national

commitment to diversity and inclusion.

In our institute number of students admission rate is devaluated but demand

ratio not devaluated because as per our Institute’s policy extra admission forms are

not to sell out. Only confirm admission forms are to be sold.

The number of Students in various academic programmes clearly indicates

that there has been fluctuation in number of students.

Numerous reasons that have facilitated these changes are given below:

� Choice Based Credit System (CBCS):

Introduction of CBCS at under graduate level (Since academic year 2010-11) has

impacted in terms of decrease in the admissions at some PG level courses. The reason is

that CBCS at UG level has increased the failure/dropout ratio of the Students.

� Higher Secondary Results:

A fluctuation in the results of the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary

Education Board (GSHSEB) has its impact in the admissions at the UG level courses

of the College.

Self-financed Colleges offering similar courses have been granted permission

by Sardar Patel University. There has been 350% increase in such Colleges after the

year 1997.

New Colleges have been established with the same courses at various places

of the State.


2.2 Catering to Student Diversity

2.2.1 How does the College cater to the needs of differently-able students and

Apart from this, all the policies of Local and Central Government concerning

the differently-able students are implemented in admission process, passing criteria,

award of scholarships, etc.

2.2.2 Does the College assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and

skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details

The formal procedure for Recruitment in affiliated Colleges is as per the

norms and regulations laid down in the Statutes and Ordinances of the University and

Department of Higher Education, Gujarat State. The norms of UGC/the State

Government are followed for selection.

College strives to recruit and retain teachers who are competent, experienced

and experts in their respective fields of study. College is always ready to absorb the

best teachers available. College finds new and able teachers by way of reference from

other teachers and experts in the area.

College has the tradition of retaining teachers for a longer period of time if

their services are satisfactory. Likewise one can find many senior teachers working

here with more than 30 years of services in the College. According to the change in

the curriculum, new staff is also recruited on self-financed basis.

SRKSM gives an advertisement about recruitment in local and regional

NEWS papers in order to reach the best teachers available.

Merit list is prepared on the basis of demo classes/sessions, and followed by

personal interview. These are conducted by an expert panel consisting of two subject

experts, the Secretary of SRKSM and the Principal of the College. Then, the most

competent candidates are selected.

2.4.6 Has the College 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?

All the teaching faculties are evaluated 100% by Students. The College has

introduced student feedback system. The process of evaluation is made by preparing

questionnaires or feedback forms for the students. Teachers are evaluated on the basis

of subject knowledge, language, methods of teaching, sincerity, nature and other

factors.

Students fill this feedback forms and it is received back by the faculties and it

is analyzed properly and if any teacher’s work is found to be unsatisfactory as per


feedback, the Principal personally talks to him/her to discuss the issue. Corrective

measures have been incorporated to enhance the teaching methods by the faculty

members.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the College ensure that the stakeholders of the College

especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

College prepares a detailed academic calendar every year. The academic

calendar incorporates the examination schedule for the benefit of the students and

parents. Every year, College prepares a detailed examination and internal marks

policy, assignment policy and attendance policy. These rules, regulations and policies

are discussed with all the first year students during the orientation program. The same

is informed to students of other classes through class counselors.

College follows the 60:40 marks ratio for evaluating the students as per the

University rules and regulations. College is entitled for conducting the internal exams

weighing 40 marks for each Subject, whereas the Sardar Patel University is responsible to

carry out the University examination carrying the weight of the rest 60 marks.

For internal exams, the different departments of the College follow different

methods of evaluating students. In addition to paper-pen based exam, various

departments also take in consideration the presence of the students, their classroom

presentations, assignments, behavior and viva-voce.

• Before preparing the results of internal examinations, the answer sheets are

shown to students (except B. Com students, they are shown answer books

on demand).

• Students are informed about the methodology of writing reports and the

criteria for evaluation of the reports through circulars and demonstrations.

• An examination redressal cell has been duly constituted in order to resolve

examination grievances of the students. The procedure for examination

grievance redressal is communicated to students by way of notice board

displays. Internal examination results are also displayed on notice board.

• Re-test is conducted for students who failed to appear in the preliminary

examination, which is compulsory, because of other competitive exams,

and medical problems or any other problem.


2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the College

has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the College on its own?

At the University level

• Sardar Patel University has an Exam Reform Unit (ERU) which

continuously monitors the examination process and brings in reforms by

inviting suggestions from the affiliated Colleges/Departments regularly.

• The flapping of the answer books is done in order to keep the identity of

the candidates anonymous/secret.

• A set of minimum two question papers is made.

• Students are given registration numbers in the alphabetical order or their

subjects of specialization.

• Students are given hall tickets with photographs and examination schedule.

• Students, in the alphabetical order, are sent to various exam centres by the

University.

• For the purpose of assigning examination related duties to teachers, the

University has initiated “point system” whereby teachers having maximum

points will be assigned the task of paper setting and examination work.

• CBCS grading system is introduced.

At the College level

• College has introduced open book assignment test whereby students are

given assignment questions for each unit well in advance for prior

preparation and the date of assignment test is also announced well in

advance. On the day of test any one out of the given questions is asked.

• Preliminary exam is conducted covering any three units in the syllabus.

• Question Paper Calibration Committee (B.com and BBA) P.P. Patel and

BBA (FT) A.H. Dedania) calibrates question papers of preliminary exam.

• Re-test for students who cannot appear in the regular preliminary

examination on grounds of genuine reasons.

• Attendance component in awarding internal examination marks

• For the internal evaluation, the College has allotted 10 marks for viva

voce, student seminars, assignments, classroom presence, and classroom

presentations. For the rest 30 marks, the College conducts paper-based

examinations.


2.5.3 How does the College ensure effective implementation of the evaluation

reforms of the university and those initiated by the College on its own?

• College prepares academic planner in the beginning of the academic year

wherein the dates of Internal Exams are already planned.

• Examination Policy is formed for every academic year to ensure effective

Implementation of evaluation reforms.

• College also frames gracing policy for internal marks. Gracing of Internal

marks is carried out because of factors such as quality of students, internal

evaluation policy and other environmental factors. Under the gracing

policy, gracing of internal marks is done in such a way that students secure

minimum passing marks.

• Students, who have participated in Intercollegiate Sports/Youth

Festival/NCC or any events, get the benefit of gracing of internal marks in

aggregate. This is to compensate them for their inadequate performance in

the examination as a result of the loss of their studies because of their

participation.

• The faculties are notified for the last date of submission of centralized

assessment and result is circulated. The question paper is set in accordance

with the University pattern.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches

adapted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have

positively impacted the system.

College has implemented both formative and summarative evaluation

approaches. Subject teachers regularly evaluate the students through the unit wise

classroom written and oral tests, open book tests, presentations, quiz, assignments,

projects, class room seminars, and viva-voce.

College conducts internal exams for the formative evaluation of the students

and gives chance to the students to appear in Re-test examination for their

convenience while the University conducts external examination at the end of each

Semester for the formative evaluation. College analyzes the semester-wise results of

the students in the external examinations and takes necessary steps in changing

teaching-learning process for summarative evaluation of the students.


To cite few instances of positive impacts of both these evaluation methods, we

can note that these practices have imparted quality to the students’ performances

which has resulted in: Victory of many University Gold Medals at graduate level and

improving their overall performance.

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.)

College is transparent in the Internal Evaluation. After the completion of the

exam, results of B.Com students are displayed on notice board while the answer-

sheets are shown to the students of BBA (Gen.) and BBA (FT) for ensuring rigour and

transparency. B.Com students are shown answer books on demand only.

College conducts a paper-based internal test of 30 marks for the assessment of

the student in different subjects. Five marks are allocated for the participation of

students in the classroom throughout the semester and five marks are allocated for

home assignments to develop students’ performance.

During the last year, College has followed the following formula for the

overall assessment of the students:

Sr. No. Areas Percentage (%) Marks

1 Internal Test 75 30

2 Regulatory and Behavior (Attendance) 12.5 5

3 Assignments / Classroom Presentations 12.5 5

Total 100 40

2.5.6 What is the graduate attributes specified by the College/affiliating university?

How does the College ensure the attainment of these by the students?

College aspires to have a Socio-cultural transformational impact on the

Students through comprehensive value-added Education by inculcating qualities of

competence, confidence and excellence.

College has specified the following graduate attributes:

• To organize ‘Udaan Job fair’ ensuring the student employability.


• To impart education merging with Knowledge and Wisdom.

• To generate an atmosphere for Mature and Free-thinking, and Positive

Citizenship.

• To develop overall Personality of the Students.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to

evaluation both at the College and University level?

In BBA (Gen.) and BBA (FT) the subject teacher shows the evaluated answer

sheets to students and thus gives them a chance to check the assessment. Any student

(Including B.Com) can approach the concerned faculty for any discrepancy in

evaluation. If not satisfied, he/she may also approach to Principal or they may drop a

note stating their grievances in the Suggestion Box which is kept on the ground floor

of the College.

Sardar Patel University, V. V. Nagar has an independent system for the

grievances related to the external evaluation. The University offers Re-checking and

Re-assessment (students are allowed to re assess twice) facility at a nominal charge

after the results are declared.
