knowledge levels through research and then he will be able to transfer such knowledge to
the student. Faculty awards and cash incentive system are in place to motivate the faculty.

7. Notes (Optional)
-NIL-
Best Practice-2:
1. Title of the Practice
Remedial Classes, Academic Merit Scholarships and Uniform Evaluation
2. Objectives of the Practice
1. To improve performance of slowlearners and students with backlog subjects in regular or
supplementary examinations.
2. To encourage the meritorious students, TuitionFee waiver is provided to students with
very good EAMCET ranks.
3. To ensure uniform evaluation for internal and external examinations.
3. The Context
To implement this practice, there are some contextual issues and are addressed.
Identification of slow learners is done as per the performance in the first mid-test. Time table
is prepared to conduct remedial classes separately in the afternoon slots without disturbing
the regular class work. The biggest challenge is to make sure that all the needy students
attend the classes.
To attract meritorious students, Fee Waiver is provided to students with very good
EAMCET ranks. Academic merit scholarships to encourage meritorious students based on
the performance of semester end examinations.
To ensure consistency and transparency, uniform evaluation system is in place.
4. The Practice
Faculty members are required to conduct remedial classes as per the schedule. To make this
practice beneficial to students, it is resolved that students should attend 90% of the remedial
classes conducted to appear in supplementary examinations. Performance track sheets are
maintained to ensure the students having backlogs clear the exams.
To attract the merit students to take admission, tuition fee waiver is provided to students
with good EAMCET ranks. Academic merit scholarships are provided to semester
examination toppers to encourage the competence.
To ensure transparency and consistency in evaluation, uniform evaluation system is in place.
In multi-section courses, evaluation is done by a faculty member for a particular question for
all thescripts of that course.
5. Evidence of Success
The results of supplementary examinations are improved.Meritorious students are taking
admission.Result is published within a week of completion of the exams.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Problem encountered in this practice is making all the needy students attend remedial classes
regularly. The resources required are faculty to handle the classes and separate class room.
We have good faculty strength across all the departments, so faculty allocation is also not a
problem.
For implementing the scholarship schemes there is no problem, because the management is
very assertive.
For uniform evaluation internal faculty and external invited faculty do the evaluation task in
time and without any trouble.
