Declaration

About College

Shri M D Shah Mahila College of Arts & Commerce was established in 1968. It was started with the aim

of providing educating facilities to girl students. The establishment of a women’s institute came as a

blessing to many worried parents who had to choose between sending their daughters to far - off places

and cutting short their education.

Shri M D Shah Mahila College of Arts & Commerce is perhaps the only institution in the suburbs of

Mumbai to offer education in four languages namely, Gujarati, English, Marathi and Hindi. From a mere

total count of 160 girl students in 1968 the number has grown up to 2500 in Degree College and nearly

6000 in Junior college.

The college offers courses in the faculties of Arts and Commerce with various discipline components.

Besides, it also runs several professional courses like BMS, BCA, BMM & BAFI and Certificate Courses

in Interior Designing, Fashion Designing, etc. Established in 1968, the college today offers Post-

graduation Degrees in Economics, Hindi and History as well as M. Com. The Management is thus

oriented towards making higher education accessible to the girl-child irrespective of any prevalent social

or economic problems. The institution is pro-actively engaged in curtailing several limitations that a girl

child faces in contemporary society in her attempts to educate herself.

PREFACE

Academic and Administrative Audit (AAA) is an essential tool to measure excellence in Higher Education. It can be

understood as a scientific and systematic method of reviewing the quality of academic process in the institution, an

adequate tool to measure the adequacy of academic input. It is related with the quality assurance and enhancing the

quality of academic activities in HEIs. It may also include evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the

administrative procedure wherein an assessment of policies, strategies & functions of the various administrative

departments, control of the overall administrative system etc. is evaluated.

The academic audit provides an opportunity for a regular strategic overview of a college’s teaching-learning

process. The process of academic audit involves three stages: self-study involving understanding the teaching-

learning process, peer review and evaluating the self-study and the peer review.

It enables opportunity to assess the following-

Is the teaching-learning process fulfilling the expectations of all the stakeholders?

Are adequate operating, administrative procedures and practices, systems, etc. in place?

Is the curriculum attuned to the requirements of the work environment?

The purpose of an academic audit is to encourage departments or programs to evaluate their “education quality

processes” – the key faculty activities required to produce, assure, and regularly improve the quality of

teaching and learning. An audit asks how faculty approach educational decision-making and how they organize

their work, using the resources available to them and working to provide a quality education in the best

interests of the discipline and student learning. The audit expects academic departments to-

Describe the current state of their efforts to improve student learning and the academic quality of their

programs

Describe their strengths and weaknesses

Cite and briefly describe documentation supporting exemplary practices

Describe implementation plan(s) for improvement initiative(s)

Acknowledgements

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.

PART A

PROMOTION OF QUALITY CULTURE

Quality enhancement is a continuous process and the promotion of quality culture is the main focus of

IQAC. It becomes a part of the institution’s system in realizing the goals of quality sustenance and

enhancement. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic

improvement in the overall performance of institutions. For this, it will channelize all efforts and

measures of the institution towards promoting academic and administrative excellence.

The IQAC is a facilitative and participative apex unit of the institution. It has the potential to become a

tool for ushering in quality enhancement by working out a planned strategy to remove drawbacks and

enhance quality. The basic task of the IQAC is to –

Set up the documentation process in motion

Create awareness

Generate confidence

Evolve formats for information and data

Streamline the work schedule

Draft quality status reports

All the strategies are related to the improvement of academic, administrative, financial and other

related tasks. It is the duty of the IQAC to guide the institution in completion of the above mentioned

basic tasks. Enhancing the culture, production and execution of teaching-learning procedure is one of

the most important functions of IQAC. For imparting quality education, the IQAC should see that

modern methods of teaching and learning are introduced and there should be proper integration and

optimum utilization of the same. It is also responsible towards generating research ambience,

encouraging research outputs in staff and students; and expanding better services to all stakeholders

of the institution. Not only that, it is also the duty of the IQAC to ensure that such tasks are done

efficiently and in a progressive manner.

Thus, the IQAC develops a system for conscious and consistent improvement in the performance of the

institution so as to achieve quality. For the betterment of the same, a definite quality culture should be

developed among the persons, which will help them understand that the organization is for their survival

and betterment.

AAA CONCLUSION

On the basis of the audits conducted and /or arranged by the IQAC, the analysis highlights at the

following conclusion –

The institution has a healthy and constructive practice of auditing the academic and

administrative departments annually.

Variation in the auditing process – internal audit, intradepartmental audit and external audit -

of the academic audits is again a good practice.

Majority of the Departments have worked on the suggestions & taken appropriate actions.

The overall results of the audits show a steady improvement in the way in which the teaching

–learning process is executed and the administrative functioning works. However, the

following pointers must be adhered to-

Active learning with practical application of theory should be encouraged

Departments should work collaboratively

Departments should collect data to find out students’ need.

Departments should continually and consciously strive to improve teaching and

learning.

Faculty should seek out good practices in comparable departments and institutions

and adapt the best to their own circumstances
