BEST PRACTICE I
Annexure VI (i)
Title of the Practice
Skill & Cultural Enhancement and Holistic Development of Students
Goal
One of the main tasks for any institution is to prepare the students to a level, were
they are habituated to undertake any challenge in the real market situation. The
preparation should involve meticulous hours of value addition training followed by
psychologically boosted confidence sessions. To take care of such needs our
institution has initiated students mentoring practice. The goal of the practice is to
extend overall support to the students for their holistic development. Students
mentoring in a broader sense, means responding to individual needs of all students.
A student may be good in academics or in extracurricular activity, his individual
need & drive is examined and he is guided accordingly. Objective of the practice is
to facilitate student progression to a higher level so that they can reach pinnacle of
their performance when they move out of the institution.
The Context
In today’s vast and changing scenario of technology and fast life the majority of the
students are not mature enough to take their own decision therefore the mentorship
programme of the college guides and counsel the students in academic, co curricular
matters including personal domain to achieve their best in life. In particular, the
scheme aims at addressing the attitudes, habits, and knowledge of the students
regarding study and learning. At that time proper mentoring of students to equip them
with appropriate skills, attitude and knowledge plays a significant role to make them
realize their real potential. Proper mentoring of students is also required to have a
better understanding of their abilities, career goals and for improvement in their
quality of life.
The Practice
At the time of admission, the students are required to provide detailed information
regarding their interests. On the basis of this information the teachers make out what
are the special mentoring needs of the students. Various skill development workshops
Page 35
are held to help students explore their hidden interests. Necessary academic &
economic and attitude & skill enhancement support is provided to the students.
Academic and economic support
The faculty adopts various methods like :
Special communication sessions are held to discuss academic and non-academic
issues. The issues related to good and bad study habits, study planning and
techniques, examination preparation etc.
Mentoring through teacher mentors and student mentors by tutoring, counseling, etc.
are held as per the need of the students.
The progress of students is monitored and with the help of faculty concerned,
remedial help is provided wherever required through peer mentoring or teacher
mentoring or both.
Participatory learning activities are undertaken where slow learners are put in groups
with student mentors who are advanced learners in the subjects.
Special fee scholarship for the bright students securing high marks is offered. Part
payment of fee is also allowed to the deserving students,
Attitude & skill enhancement support
Education is not simply about academics but it is also about promoting special skills
in students in the areas of cultural, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The
faculty adopts various methods like :
Meetings with the students for discussing their experiences and ideas, with a view to
explore their hidden interests and provide guidance accordingly.
Workshops on self confidence, personality development, special skills are conducted
by the professionals in the field of personality development, art music dance and
theatre.
Regular practice sessions are conducted for students with special co curricular skills
by the expert facultyand external professionals.
Social and communication skills are taught in order to instill self-confidence in them.
Evidence of Success:
Scholarship for the children securing above 90% marks is offered in BCA. BFA, BPT
and BSc(IMT). Information regarding the same can be found in the prospectus.
The college also provides financial assistance in the form of a book bank and prizes
to deserving students. There is an increase in the enrolment of students by around 18
percent from the year 2012-13 to 2015-16which is an indicator of the fact that the
Page 36
support system provided is appreciated by these students and the students feel
confident to be part of the Apeejay family. There are minimal drop outs and students
are completing the degree programs of their choice successfully.
Many students have reached pinnacle of their performances which they exhibited by
securing coveted positions in university examinations and youth festivals. Many Ist,
IInd & IIIrd level university positions and youth festival trophies have been won by
our students which speaks volumes about the kind of mentoring they go through. As
college makes rigorous efforts in all-round development of students the list of
eminent alumni who have achieved great heights in their careers speaks for itself.
The college has left no stone unturned to ensure achievers and here are named few of
them.

BEST PRACTICE II
Annexure VI (ii)
Title of the Practice
Promotion of Indian Art and Culture
Goal
To inculcate aesthetic skills among students and sensitizing them towards appreciation of
Indian art and culture.
To conserve and transmit rich cultural heritage to the young generation in the making of a
new India.
The Context
In the present competitive world, keeping pace with modernity and technological
paradigms is very essential but it is equally important to stick to the socio-cultural roots.
Knowledge must be synthesized with art and culture. It acts as a great stabilizing and
creative force. It will develop aesthetic sensibility in youth to appreciate fine arts and to
understand the finer shades of human thoughts. Revival of arts will broaden his outlook
and develop in him socially acceptable behavior.
The Practice
The institution was set up in 1975 with the primary objective of promoting Indian Art and
Culture. The Institution has always emphasized the philosophy of adhering to the age old
traditions and envisions to create a magical balance between tradition and modernity. The
institute collaborates with Lalit Kala Academy & Virsa Vihar, Jalandhar for organizing
various workshops.
Special courses being run in the college dedicated to the promotion of crafts viz BD,
BFA etc.
Craft workshops organized by the dedicated departments in the college campus on
regular basis.
Our students have been participating in Hariballabh Sangeet Samelan and their
performances are applauded by the audience.
Special classes are conducted for revival of old traditional folk instruments like Taus,
dilruba, rabab, sarangi, thumbi etc.
Training is also given in traditional styles of painting using wash tempera & mural.

securing coveted positions in youth festivals. The college has an unbeatable record of
being Youth Festival Champions for 17 consecutive years & National Champion in
cultural activities for 10 years.
Well Placed Alumni
