Process

Currently following types of assessments are conducted by IQAC.

1. Teaching learning assessment.

To review the quality of teaching in the institute, every year assessment of teaching is conducted for ARTS (UG and PG) and Science (UG and PG) faculty based through online mechanism.

This assessment is conducted to review, how a teacher’s teaching for a particular subject is perceived by students. With respect to a subject-teacher’s teaching, following questions are asked and teacher’s feedback is assessed on the scale of 1 to 4. Along with these questions, a text box is also provided in the feedback form where students can write about the ‘Best aspect of teacher which they wish the teacher to continue’.

Apart from the above questions, comments section is offered where students can raise concerns which are not addressed through the questions in feedback form or give suggestions to the teacher.

The overall aim is to ensure quality in the teaching-learning process. The College has two faculties- Arts and Science. Teaching-Learning assessment is conducted with respect to the individual department in the context. Normally the configuration will contain, UG batches (FY/SYTTY), PG course (M.SC/MCA/ Data Science/MA).

It also includes subject-teachers outsourced to the other departments. E.g. Languages like English, German are taught in Arts as well as in Science streams, so English department assessment will include classes from both Arts and Science.
Process followed for each cycle
1. Configure Feedback schedule for a department
2. Ensure subject teacher allocations are properly done.
3. Ensure all the courses/ batches/ classes/ outsourced Teachers subjects everything configured for the review process
4. Perform test cycle to verify the configuration.
5. On successful verification, open the process / publish the feedback /review link for students to submit review.
6. Send SMS and publish announcements to students regarding link opening.
7. Link is available for a specific duration. If needed, reminders in the form of SMS are sent again. Also at times, dates for accepting the responses can be extended.
8. Once the responses are collected, Analysis Team reviews each comment and prepares department specific reports.
Note: currently teaching learning assessment is done only for theory subjects and experiential subjects. Feedback for practical subject is not taken (reason: No. of batches and student-teacher allocation variation). In future we might require to take it.
Following reports are generated from the system
1. For a given department, performance of a teacher is calculated for the course/batch/class.
E.g. Computer Science — M.Sc — Sem 1- Div A, performance of all teachers under this can be shown
2. At any given point of time, HOD / administrators should be able to see reports
(assessment sheet along with comments all together)
a. Course wise (UG / PG) performance
b. Within course, batches wise (FY/SY/TY) performance
c. For given course, All teachers evaluation / individual teachers evaluation
3. Comparative reports comparing different departments.
4. Report displaying list of teacher scoring > 3.5
5. Also list is generated for teachers scoring < 2.5. These teachers are invited for a personal talk, if needed.
Note: These numbers (2.5 / 3.5) are configurable.

Curriculum Feedback

Under Autonomy College is offering its customised syllabus. Review on the syllabus is taken from students also.

Following are the parameters for the Curriculum feedback.

Instructions for students

1. The form is generic and meant for entire academic programme.
2. The feedback form should be filled by final year B.Sc. and M.Sc. students and
3. S.Y., T.Y. and M.A. final year students for faculty of Arts
4. It is expected that, the student puts specific suggestions/ recommendations in the last question particular to any course/ paper.

Students Satisfaction Survey

This survey is offered to only to only final semester students of UG and PG. SSS is pre requisite for NAAC. IQAC takes this feedback/ survey to make student aware about SSS process and also to know other aspects about institute.

Attached document contains SSS details. As of now basic report of SSS is generated.
