2. Criteria wise Inputs

CRITERION 1 : CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Goal Orientation

1. State the vision and mission of the institution.

The vision of the founders of the Institution way back in 1973 when

the college was set up as the humble but noble desire of bringing higher

education within the reach of the needy students of this socially,

economically and culturally backward area.

The world order has been subjected to many a change ever since the

inception of the college and in keeping pace with the emerging modern

trends in the field of education, we have realized the need for redefining our

vision and activities.

Our vision is to provide high quality holistic education in an inspiring

and learning environment that maximizes the potential of each individual to

become a responsible global citizen.

We take into cognizance the changing needs of the students and make

every effort to impart them an education that would make them realize the

core values in the context of ongoing phenomena like Globalization and

privatization.

We wish to develop in students skills and competencies that would

enable them to successfully face the challenges in the changing global

scenario besides inculcating in them a sense of social values.

Our MISSION is

To strengthen the academic and administrative ambience of the institution

To enlarge the gamut of programme options by giving prominence to the Thrust Areas of modern education

To update the knowledge base of both the faculty and students.

To make sustained efforts to make use of Information and Communication Technology in the field of Teaching- learning and

administration.

To strengthen the areas of Teaching Learning and Evaluation by adopting a student centric approach



To start new self-finance courses

To develop among students a sense of human values

To monitor the progress of each student by strengthening the existing Evaluation and Feed Back mechanism

To bridge the gap between the advanced learners and the show ones through special attention to the latter

To go into the society and enable students to have an understanding of the social, cultural, economic and environmental

realities present there

To serve the society using the services of the students by properly channelising their energies through promotion of activities of

N.S.S, N.C.C, Red cross, Red Ribbon club etc

To promote communication skills among the students

To take into confidence students and parents who are the chief stake holders by establishing rapport with them and make them participate in our pursuit of imparting quality education

To appraise the society of our efforts to provide quality education

Core values : 1. College is a temple and students are our Gods.

2. Our College does not distinguish pupil based on religion or

caste.

3. The creation of a positive learining experience.

Discipline : Effective self management which inculcates confidence and

boldness to a student.

Respect : Respecting onself and others, tolerance, Intercultural and Social

awareness.

2. Does the mission statement reflect the institutions distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the

students it seeks to serve, institutions traditions and value orientations, vision for the future etc?

Our mission statement is in conformity with the vision we have for the

future. It emphasizes our realization of the need for redefining the goals so

as to provide value based education combined with enhanced training in

skills that would equip the students for global demands. We believe that

this is possible only through providing a good number of programme



options (with this view we have started new courses). These programmes

have to be in the realms of newly developing subjects like Computers and

Electronics which the society now needs.

Our mission is to develop responsible words global citizens who are

proactive and adapatbale professionals through and evolving and

progressive curriculum and world class facilities.

Our mission statement reflects our desire to develop a knowledge

society among the student Community and to create an awareness of the

opportunities they have after leaving the institution. We have the task of

exposing our students to the advancement in the world outside. One of the

chief features of the institution is that it aims at providing higher education

that is in inexpensive. This suits the students of this backward area.

3. What are the goals and objectives of the college? How are they made known to the various stakeholders?

As already mentioned our goals and objectives are reflected in our

vision and mission statement.

Our primary aim is to help the students of our rural background to

realize the on going changes in the advanced realms of education and to

instill confidence that is required to face the challenges ahead.

Identifying and enhancing the hidden talents of the students and

helping them come out of the traditional reserve attitude and face the world

of competition with self confidence is our aspiration.

We use different methods to let these aims and objectives be known to

the public especially to stake-holders.

A Hand Book is given to students in the beginning of the academic

year in which our aims and objectives are detailed. We frequently conduct

Parent Meetings and apprise them of the academic activities in the college

and seek their suggestions.

We hold orientation classes to students and impress upon them the

aims and objectives of the college. On occasions like the College

Anniversary Day the public are apprised of our efforts in providing real

education in the college.

4. What are the major considerations addressed to by the goals and objectives of the college? (Intellectual, Academic, Training, Access to

the Disadvantaged, Equity, Self Development, Community & National

Development, Ecology and Environment, Value Orientation,

Employment, ICT introduction, Global Demands, etc.)



We have a clear understanding of the goals to be reached in the near

future. Our foremost concern is to expand the programme options by

starting new courses that are much sought after by students. Creating an

awareness of the various employment opportunities, providing academic and

economic help to the students of the disadvantaged sections, instilling in

the students the responsibility of participating in the national development,

are our other concerns. Through our N.C.C., N.S.S. and the R.R. Club, we

hope to do our mite in developing a pollution free society. Students are

being encouraged to participate in various socially useful activities like Anti

AIDS campaign, Communal harmony etc.

Introducing I.C.T. at various levels of administration and Teaching -

Learning process is being actively considered.

Efforts are being made to make self development a part of the

students curriculum. With this view, we invited a number of eminent personalities in the fields of Yoga and Career counselling to address the

students.

We strive to make the students realize the need for developing an eco

friendly atmosphere in our society.

The concepts of community and national development and of

traditional values are a part of our idea of education.

Social justice and equal opportunities to all sections of the community

are ensured. Help to disadvantaged sections is provided. The Career

guidance cell lets the students have an idea of the employment

opportunities and the preparation for getting jobs.

5. How are the institutional goals translated into the academic programmes, research and extension activities of the institution?

We have been making consistent efforts over four decades to translate

the institutional goals into reality.

With a view to provide instruction in the courses that are in demand

Self-finance courses in B.Com. Computer, B.Sc. Computer Science and

B.Sc. Statistics have been introduced.

Guidance in studies and employment seeking is being provided

through career guidance cells.

Extension activities are taken up with N.S.S., N.C.C., R.R. Club &

Students in general. Occasions like Aids day, Communal harmony week are

utilized to create an awareness of the need for social service.



We make sincere efforts to enlighten the public in regard to issues like

religious tolerance, dignity of labour etc.

N.S.S. and N.C.C. volunteers participate in activities like tree

plantation, slum clearance, literacy campaign; Pulse Polio, Eye Camp

programmes Blood donation camps etc. N.S.S. Students participated a

Seven day Special Camp at Surrounding villeges like Venkatapuram,

Kanchipalli, Mundlapadu, etc. in 2011-12

We have a long standing tradition of offering service to the society.

Our participation in JANMABHOOMI PROGRAMME was a story of dedicated service. The College has been awarded a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/-

under this programme in 1997. This indicates our sincerety and dedication

toward the social service.

To provide students practical knowledge of the things taught in the

class rooms, we undertake field trips, historical tours, educational tours of

the students in banking etc, by having linkages with organizations like

S.B.I., L.I.C. and Department of Forests.

1.2 Curriculum Development

1. Specify the steps undertaken by the institution in curriculum development process. (Need assessment, development of information

database from faculty, students, alumni, employees and academic

experts, and formalizing the decisions in statutory academic bodies).

As an under graduate college, affiliated to Acharya Nagarjuna

University, the college does not have a cognizable role to play in the

development of curriculum. Feedback from students regarding the courses

offered enables us to realise their needs and the same is kept in view by the

members of the Board of Studies while making suggestions to the

university.

2. State specifically the curricular design and model adopted by the college in the organization of its curricula. What system does the

institution follow: Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and Semester

patterns?

The designing of the curriculum is made by Acharya Nagarjuna

University to which the college is affiliated. Normally the Board of Studies

in each subject suggests the breakup of syllabus in regard to a given time

frame. We stick to the schedule suggested and each department prepares the



annual academic calendar keeping in view the number of feasible hours

each subject is given.

The annual system is followed in the organization of the curriculum.

The University suggests a time frame for the syllabus to be covered. This

schedule is followed as far as possible.

The University provides the Almanac for each academic year and it is

implemented making allowances for local needs.

3. How are the global trends in higher education reflected in the curriculum?

As already mentioned the curriculum for all under graduate courses is

fixed by the University. The Acharya Nagarjuna University introduced

restructured courses like B.Sc. Computer Science, B.Sc. Electronics & B.Sc.

Statistics in 1994-95 academic year and B.Com. Computer in 2010-11

respectively and introduced subjects at the degree level that are in tune with

the emerging trends in higher education. English is gaining prominence as a

global language. As such we are making efforts to promote the use of

English in the class rooms. The department of English proposes to conduct

classes in Spoken English and Communication skills to all students.

Subjects like Computer Science, Statistics and B.Com. (Computers)

that would equip the students in meeting the demands in the modern world

are introduced in the college. The core traditional values that have to be

preserved are taught through subjects like Contemporary India,

Environmental Science and Science and Technology Development.

The new syllabus introduced in various degree courses emphasizes

training in computer operation and developing Communication skills. Basic

principles of Computers are taught to all degree students. The Internet

facility is made available in the college and in near future the students will

be provided access to it.

Environmental Education is being introduced in all degree courses,

which teaches the students the need for creating pollution free and eco

friendly society. S.T.D. and office automation tools are introduced so as to

have awareness in the students on latest technology.

4. How does the institution ensure that the curriculum bears some thrust on national development?

We are adapting ourselves to the changing context in the realm of

education. The curriculum designed by the University inculcates the ideas of

the national development through subjects like Indian Heritage and Culture.



The concept is further driven home to students through the activities of

N.C.C./N.S.S./Red Ribbon etc. Apart from this lecturers often try to

inculcate upon the students the need for religious tolerance, national

development etc. in their classes.

5. What are the contributions of the institution in curriculum design and development of the various programmes? (Member of BOS/ by sending

agenda items etc.,)

There is a very limited scope for the institution in curriculum design

and development of various programmes as the university is the competent

authority for this activity. However teachers appointed as members of Board

of Studies in various subjects have done their best to incorporate in the

syllabus curricular aspects that would be in conformity with the local needs.

6. What are the interdisciplinary courses introduced during the last five years?

English and a second language are compulsory interdisciplinary

courses. Apart from these Contemporary India and Environmental Science

and Science and Technology Development (S.T.D.) are also

interdisciplinary.

7. What value added courses are introduced which would

(1) Develop skills

To develop the skills of the students that are necessary in

the modern education courses in the B.Sc. with Computers and

Statistics and B.Com. Computers have been added to our

programmes. Practical classes and field trainings are provided for

developing the skills of students at global level.

(2) Offer career training

There are no specific courses that offer career training.

However the career development cell provides the necessary

information regarding career training.

(3) Promote community orientation?

There is no opportunity to introduce courses in community

orientation. This activity forms a part of our extension activities. In

Contemporary India, the compulsory subject in first year ideas like

community orientation, religious tolerance and the like are

incorporated.



8. What percentage of the courses focus on experiential learning including practical and work experience?

This differs from course to course. Normally in science courses

practical work has a considerable place. The percentage of practical work

subject wise is as follows.

English - 40%

Maths - 30%

Physics - 35%

Chemistry - 40%

Botany - 35%

Zoology - 35%

Computer science- 35%

9. Is there a provision for incorporating computer training in curriculum for all students?

Computer training is a part of the curriculum for all degree classes.

The department of Computer science offers short term training in Computer

Programming for all degree students and the knowledge of Computer

operation is essential for all the students of first and second year courses.

Students of B.Com have a paper on Computer Science.

10. What are the courses aiming to promote value education/social citizenship roles?

No exclusive courses are offered that aim at promoting value

education. However in subjects like Indian Heritage & Culture students are

taught the need for the values to be inherited by them. They are made to

realize their social responsibilities. Our extension activities inculcate the

core values among the students.

11. What thrust is given to Information Communication Technology in the curriculum for equipping the students for global demands?

The use of I.C.T. is on a low key. All the students are taught the basics

of computer operation. Internet facility is made available in the college. In

the coming days we propose to utilize I.C.T. at an optimum level. Training

will be provided in the use of fax in the days to come.

The slow and disadvantaged learners are identified in the first quarter

of the academic year. The Class Teacher makes a list of these students and

arranges special remedial teaching hours in different subjects. From

November onwards study hours are conducted for such students. Special

assignments are given to them.

3. How does the college distinguish between slow and advanced learners? Explain how additional help is provided to the slow learners to cope

with the programme? How are the advanced learners facilitated to meet

the challenges?



In our college we identify the slow learners in each class in the first

quarter of the academic year. For this we take into consideration the marks

obtained by the students in the first Bi-monthly test and Quarterly

Examinations. Based on the performance of the students those who are

lagging behind are identified. Normally every year, from the first week of

November remedial teaching and study hours are arranged for such

students.

Printed material necessary for the students is provided by different

faculties.

The progress of the slow learners and the disadvantaged is monitored

by the class teacher. Necessary instruction and counselling is given to them.

4. Does the institution provide flexibility to the students to move from one discipline to the other?

This facility is available in the beginning of the academic year.

Students admitted in one programme, if they feel it difficult to pursue, have

the option to move to another, within a specified time.

5. Does the institution provide facilities for credit transfer, if the students migrate from one institution to another institution in or outside the

country?

Nagarjuna University changed this pattern and has given equal priority to all

the subjects with no distinguishing status as main or ancillary among the

subjects. Indian Heritage & Culture and Science & Civilization are

compulsory subjects for first and second year degree students respectively.

7. Does the institution provide the flexibility of combining the conventional and distance mode of education for students to make use

(a) Students

The feedback is obtained from the students regarding the

various aspects like Teaching Learning system, facilities provided and adequacy of infrastructure. The information is

collected in the suggested format.

Feedback on the value of courses and Teaching Learning process is obtained from the students. The students are also

required to submit their feedback on their campus experience. The



administration of the college acts upon this feedback to better the

academic quality of the college.

In the class room teachers often test the students understanding of the subject through suggestive questions.

Our Home Examinations also serve as feedback from

students.

(b) Alumni

The alumni association of the college was started three

years ago. Some of our old students work in our college as

lecturers and ministerial staff. Besides we are in constant touch

with our old students who happen to be the models of excellence

and success in their lives. We invite them to the college whenever

occasion arises and take into consideration their views on the

development of the college.

action taken reports are maintained by the Principal. A similar one

is maintained in the office by the superintendent.

The management appraises the performance of the staff

through the prescribed format and offers necessary suggestions.

(d) Community

Receiving feedback from the community is mainly through

the Parents Association. Three or four meetings are held in every year with the parents community and their suggestions are received regarding the functioning of the college. Importance is

given to the problems, if any, faced by girl students.

(e) Academic peers

We take suggestions from academic peers whenever an

occasion arises. We take into account the advice given by

educationists or guest lecturers who visit our institution. Recently

we invited a number of eminent persons in different walks of life



to deliver guest lectures and obtained their suggestions in various

matters.

of Self-finance courses in Computer sciences and Statistics in B.Sc.

Additions to our learning resources have been made. The Internet,

Computer facility are provided. A large number of books have been added

to the library. Laboratories are equipped with new instruments that are

needed for the restructured courses. We have recently set up an L.C.D. for

use.

We are doing our best in providing the students the much needed

career guidance for which purpose a career guidance cell is setup.

5. What best practices in Curricular Aspects have been planned/ implemented by the institution?

We have strengthened the process of obtaining feedback from the

students. For this purpose we evolved the Class Teacher system in which

the students of a class are entrusted to a teacher who monitors their

academic progress. A Cumulative Record is maintained in which a

students performance during his stay in the college is recorded. Students are encouraged to turn into the information seekers with features like

KNOW A THING A DAY.



Students are encouraged to participate in class room seminars.

Participative learning is encouraged. Quality enhancement programmes -

like the students playing the role of teacher are introduced.



2. Criteria wise Inputs

Criterion II: Teaching Learning and Evaluation

2.1 Admission Process

1.How are the students selected for admission to the various courses?

The admissions to degree classes are governed by the guidelines

issued by the Acharya Nagarjuna University. The salient features of the

process of admission are

The Principal appoints a committee consisting of five members of teaching staff, one of whom acts as the convener. The

committee is entrusted with scrutiny of applications,

preparation of selection list and waiting list strictly in

accordance with the rules and regulations for admission. The

selection lists and waiting lists are prepared strictly in the order

of merit, course wise, group wise and medium wise giving

preference to students who passed the qualifying examinations

in the first attempt.

The committee submits the lists to the Principal. The Principal ensures that the lists have been prepared according to rules.

Admissions are made on the basis of aggregate marks obtained by

each candidate in all the subjects of the qualifying examinations.

The rules of reservation are strictly followed in making the

admissions. A uniform and foolproof procedure suggested by the University

is followed. Any other instructions communicated either by the University

or the government from time to time are complied with.

2.What strategies are adopted to create access to

a) Disadvantaged community

Students belonging to the disadvantaged community are

provided admission following the rules of reservation. They can also

seek admission in the open competition. The following is the

reservation pattern. For SCs 15%, for STs 6%, for BCs 25%

b) Women

30% of seats available are kept reserved for women.

c) Physically challenged



3% of Seats are available to physically disabled candidates.

d) Economically weaker sections of the society

The Management of the College Committee and the staff

members are generous in paying the college fees to the deserving

meritorious students. Economically backward students are provided

scholarships by the Government.

3. What is the ratio of applications received to admissions granted? (Demand ratio)

The overall ratio of applications received during the academic year

2012-13 is 1:1.5 (Average figures for all the courses put together).

2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs

1. Is there a provision for assessing students knowledge/ needs and skills before the commencement of the teaching programme?

Yes. There is a need for assessing the knowledge of the student

before the commencement of the teaching programme. Teachers ascertain

the level of understanding of the student so that they can distinguish

between the slow learners and the advanced students. This is done through

interaction with the students in an informal way so as to ascertain their

aptitudes and skills.

2. Does the institution provide bridge courses to the educationally disadvantaged students?

Yes. Bridge Courses are provided in some faculties to students

coming to degree classes from a different stream at the +2 level. The

department of Zoology conducted bridge course for students who joined

B.Sc. (B.Z.C.) coming from a group with Fisheries at the Intermediate level.

The department of Botany conducted these classes for B.Z.C. students that

come from Fisheries group at +2 level.

The faculty of Commerce held Bridge Course classes for students

who joined B.Com. coming from Science and Arts groups in the

Intermediate. These courses were conducted in the month of July.

3. What remedial measures are taken for the students from the disadvantaged communities?

Students from the disadvantaged communities are encouraged to

pursue Higher Education. In order to help them cope with the academic

requirements remedial teaching is offered to them, generally out of the



regular class hours. Certain confidence building measures are adopted to

boost their morale.

2.3 Teaching Learning Process

1. How does the institution plan and organize the teaching learning evaluation schedule into the total scheme? Do you have an academic

calendar? How is it prepared?

The Teaching Learning evaluation schedule is prepared well in advance during the summer vacation for the ensuing academic year.

Normally the academic calendar prepared by the University reaches us in

February/March. Feasible number of hours to be allotted to each paper are

suggested. The academic calendar is prepared with the help of the Calendar

Committee.

The Calendar committee for the present year consists of

Dr. V. Bali Reddy, Lecturer in Telugu, department of Telugu,

Dr. A.Kanchiyya, Lecturer in History, department of History with Principal

as the Chairman.

The Staff Council plays an important role in the preparation of

annual calendar. They decide the number of optional holidays to be given.

The almanac for the year is prepared taking into consideration the

number of working days, month wise. The breakup of syllabus unit wise is

prepared. For this members of every department meet and prepare the

annual academic plan for the whole year in all the papers taught by the

faculty. Allowance is made for any unforeseen loss of working days or

dislocation of work. While preparing unit wise syllabus the academic plan

suggested by the University is followed as far as possible.

The target syllabus month wise is covered by the individuals.

Statements regarding the coverage of syllabus are obtained from

individuals every two months as a measure of feedback. The information is

recorded in the Performance Indicators.

1. Annual academic plan.

2. Coverage of syllabus month wise.

The in-charges of the departments supervise the coverage of

syllabus.

At the end of the month each teacher reviews the coverage of

syllabus and holds extra classes for the students for whom the targeted

syllabus is not covered.



Every lecturer has to maintain a teaching diary in which the

coverage of syllabus and a synopsis of the subject taught is recorded. The

in-charge of the department verifies the diaries at the end of every month

and offers necessary suggestions to the individual lecturers. The teaching

diaries are submitted to the Principal once in a month.

In the class rooms a student centric approach is adopted. Smart

strategies are used to make the process of teaching a pleasant job. We have a

team of well trained and experienced teachers who work with dedication. In

the first few days of the academic year the academically backward students

are identified and special attention is provided to them.

Students of the first year degree courses who come from a different

stream in the +2 stage are provided Bridge courses in some faculties.

Every teacher uses some time to get a feedback from students on the

subject he has taught in the previous classes. Special attention is provided to

students lagging behind in the class.

Evaluation is mainly through the examinations we conduct. Every

year three major home tests i.e. Quarterly, Half-yearly and Hope

examinations are conducted. Beside these two or three Bi-monthly tests are

conducted. Lecturers allot a few periods for Assignments.

The number of working days is normally 220 inclusive of

examination days. We adhere to the working schedule suggested by the

University.

2. What courses use predominantly the lecture method? Apart from classroom interactions, what other methods of teaching-learning are

provided to students?

In almost all courses we use the conventional lecture method with

the Black Board as the major teaching-aid. But often in various faculties,

teachers use additional resources in teaching - learning process. Charts,

models, and Over Head Projectors are used depending on the need. In the

language lab computers and hearing devices (Micro Phones) are used.

Science department use the facility of Epidiascope which is available in the

Botany department. Recently we have added an L.C.D. to our infrastructure

which will be of great use in teaching.

The lecturers guide the students in preparing their seminar topics.

Seminars are conducted inviting resource persons belon
