2.6 Innovative processes

adopted by the

institution in Teaching

and Learning:

As the teachers face the uphill task of covering substantial syllabi within a

stipulated period, the lecture method obviously becomes the most

prevalent mode of teaching. However, all efforts are made to engage the

students in a discussion on the topic on which a lecture has been

delivered.

Students are prodded to give their reactions, raise questions and

offer comments on class lectures so that they are compelled to

reflect on the topic discussed and learn to put forward their

thoughts coherently. It has been noticed that gradually, they

develop analytical skills and the necessary articulation to express

themselves as a result of exercises.

Teachers regularly use the internet to keep abreast of latest

information. The UGC sponsored INFLIBNET goes a long way in

aiding this procedure.

Power point presentations occasionally available to the present day

academic community.

Study tours are regularly arranged. We regularly visit book fair

held at Pragati Maidan (New Delhi), we also visit science city in

Jalandhar and GNDU / PU research labs.

Teachers occasionally make use of audio visual aids and material

available on internet for benefit of students

Extension lectures by external experts in relevant field are also

organized to generate interest and awareness among the students

The institution provides incentives to faculty in form of duty leave

and academic leave to enable them to participate in seminars.

academic year

168

2.8 Examination/

Evaluation Reforms

initiated by

the Institution (for

example: Open Book

Examination, Bar

Coding, Double

Valuation, Photocopy,

Online Multiple

Choice Questions)

To bring uniformity in marking scripts marked by fresh recruits,

the scripts are scrutinized by seniors randomly and anomalies are

pointed out to them.

Remedial classes for poor performers.

Assignments-based internal assessment is taken in many

commercial and vocational courses.

Answer sheets of the House Tests are delivered to and discussed

with students so that they are assured that no partiality or

favouritism has crept into evaluation and, thus, they are accorded

opportunity to check their total score and impartial evaluation of

their answers as well.

An external invigilation system has been introduced from 2010-11

to check the menace of copying.
