The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) of the IQAC

All NAAC accredited institutions will submit an annual self-reviewed progress report to NAAC, through

its IQAC. The report is to detail the tangible results achieved in key areas, specifically identified by the

institutional IQAC at the beginning of the academic year. The AQAR will detail the results of the

perspective plan worked out by the IQAC. (Note: The AQAR period would be the Academic Year. For

example, July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013)

√

SWOC Analysis

STRENGTHS

1. Highly dedicated faculty members, well equipped laboratories and hard working students are the

strengths of the department.

2. State-of-the-art infrastructure facilities to keep pace with growing technological and scientific

needs.

3. The College is catering to the needs of students from rural areas and economically weaker

sections of the society.

4. Healthy teacher-student relationship facilitates smooth teaching-learning.

5. Focus on student-centric learning, participatory and interactive learning through

assignments, seminars, projects etc.

WEAKNESSES

1. Students from rural and poor economic background, lacking motivation, focus and quality

and with poor communicative skills in both Kannada and English, get admitted to BSc course,

as better students head for professional courses.

2. In spite of good academic records, poor knowledge base and weak language skills pose a great

challenge since it takes away the precious time meant to transact the present curriculum.

3. More number of guest faculty.

4. Shortage of laboratory technical staff.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. The College has opportunities to establish linkages with institutes of prominence within

and outside the country.

2. To conduct Civil service training programs

3. Enthusiastic young teachers with research aptitude can promote research culture among

students and an enquiry-based learning approach.

4. Staff and student exchange programmes between institutions need to be explored to achieve

greater excellence and innovation.

5. Strengthening of alumni network and linkages with industries will create more possibilities

for increasing the percentage of campus placement.

CHALLENGES

1. Due to the diminishing interest of students in science subjects, there is a decline in the inflow of

brighter students.

2. Socio-economic conditions become a challenge for the students to complete the course. Further,

students are mostly first generation learners getting little motivation from the parents or the

society.

3. Commercialization of education challenges the service motto of a Government College.

4. Integrating undergraduate teaching with research at College level is another challenge.

5. Poor educational backgrounds of the parents prevent even the high achievers from moving

out for higher levels of learning or employment.

Annexure I

1. Title of the Practice: Providing English Language skills through Language Resource

Centre.

Objectives of the Practice

To provide need based Skill Development in Listening, Speaking and Writing.

To help students acquire skills to write research papers in English.

To provide accent training for students in general.

To provide a provision after college hours to learn grammar with the help of self

tutors.

Provision for providing the best books, worksheets, note books/stationery to do

exercises for practice.

To provide research support for budding paper writers through language correction

and counselling.

The Context

Most of the students are from families of first generation learners and hence opt for

humanities and commerce subjects. The level of English proficiency even at the graduate

level in and around Mandya has plummeted raising alarming concerns among students and

teachers in the colleges. This project is aimed at involving all students who want to pursue

courses that provide higher proficiency in English that would eventually equip them to do

well in their examinations and interviews.

The Practice

A language laboratory is provided with basic facilities like computers, software and

internet access. Spoken English classes are conducted regularly in batches at the Language

laboratory to help students improve their competence in English.

Evidence of Success

The setting up of the Language laboratory has minimized students’ dependence on external

institutes for learning English. It has also marginally enhanced results and has increased

the employability quotient of the students.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The language lab access is limited due to infrastructure constraints and requires skilled

trainers and additional infrastructure.
