7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution (please see the format in the NAAC Self-study Manuals)

BEST PRACTICE 1: Comprehensive Feedback Mechanism-360 Degree Feedback

Objective: The objective of the comprehensive feedback mechanism is to achieve quality

enhancement. The comprehensive feedback involves collection of feedback from all

the stakeholders, which helps in monitoring the academic content and processes

thereby achieving quality sustenance and progressively quality enhancement.

Context:

In a world of exponential change, it is a necessary imperative to every organisation

and institution to be responsive and dynamic. The rapid changes have also led to

increased expectations and aspirations from the students and stakeholders. It is

therefore important to know the level of satisfaction and identify the gaps. The

Institution then takes appropriate steps to fill the gaps and enhance quality.

It also acts as an effective mechanism in understanding the changing needs of the

students and stakeholders, thereby helping in designing appropriate interventions.

In a world of increasing pressure on efficiency and effectiveness, monitoring the

efficiency and effectiveness of the staff and the processes, is needed. The feedback

mechanism is one such mechanism which helps achieve this goal.

Practice: The comprehensive feedback mechanism comprises of 3 phases:

Feedback collection : It mainly involves a structured method of collection of

feedback. It is conducted through a well designed questionnaire employing rating

scales which facilitate objective Analysis. Open ended questions are also used in

some of the methods for qualitative feedback.

Feedback Analysis and Reporting: The Feedback collected is analyzed by a team of

IT programmers of the college under complete confidentiality. The analysis is

submitted to the Principal and Management.

Action Taken: The Principal and Management decide the plan of action to improve

the gaps .The action ranges from, counselling and mentoring to teaching staff to

corrective actions and improvements.

The feedback is collected from the following stake holders:

Students :

The Feedback from students is collected in the following methods:

Feedback on Teaching and Institutional Quality: The feedback is

collected annually from all students ,to evaluate each teachers teaching

quality , Functioning of the various units and the Physical facilities of

the Institution .

Feedback on CBCS: With the successful completion of one batch of

students under CBCS, feedback was collected to evaluate the students‟

opinions on the CBCS.

Feedback on Curriculum: The feedback on curriculum is collected

from the Final Year students to evaluate the curriculum design i.e, the

course structure, the courses, the syllabi etc., and to receive any

suggestions for improvement .

Exit Form : This form helps in collecting feedback from the outgoing

batch of students on the institutional functioning , with a view to elicit

objective information free from any reservation or biases.

Feedback from Student Quality circle (SQC): The SQC is an important

mechanism involving active student participation in quality sustenance

AQAR 2016-2017 Page 36

and enhancement. The SQC meets regularly to deliberate on various

issues and generate ideas for improved performance.

It is therefore felt that the feedback from the SQC would focus on the

quality in initiatives and processes.

Online Feedback: The Online Feedback is provided for on the MIS

Homepage to facilitate students in providing feedback on a continuous

basis in an atmosphere of absolute freedom and supervision. The

Feedback is collected through a descriptive format, on quality

parameters such as Teaching, curriculum, Hostel etc.

Suggestion Boxes: The suggestion Boxes are another means of

collecting feedback from students on a regular basis. The suggestion

boxes are placed in common places in the college blocks.

Informal Feedback: Informal Feedback is collected by the Principal,

faculty and the Management members by random talk with students.

changes in the family structures, roles, relationships and increasing materialistic
