PREFACE


Madhava Pai Memorial College, Manipal, the dream child of the Founder President,

Sri.T. Ramesh U.Pai, established in July 1999, has been a pioneering institution in spreading higher

education in Manipal. The College, being affiliated to Mangalore University has catered to the

educational needs of many students, who have found good employment and placement in different

spheres of life.

Since its inception, the college has been striving hard to prepare students to be academically strong

and at the same time training them to become competent to face the challenges of modern society.

The college, during this very short period of 15 years has made a good impact in this area, as an

institution with quality in teaching ,with high level of discipline and totally insulated against the

frequent disturbance of strikes and agitations impinging from outside.

We have a team of 30 devoted, efficient and highly motivated teachers and 11 cooperative non-

teaching staff. All are responsible for maintaining a record of excellent results in all the University

examinations right from the 1st year itself, in spite of the fact that our policy of intake of students is to

give an opportunity to students even with the minimum marks of eligibility. We have strength of 431

students during this year, out of which 276 are male and 155 are female students. Morning Prayer has

been introduced to bring an academic environment. Dress code is also maintained.

This institution keeps its doors open to all, that is, economically poor and poor in their academics at

the P.U.C. level. But opportunity for learning is provided through the best teachers with a strong

motivation to shape the students in the proper direction. So this institution founded by Sri.T. Ramesh

U.Pai is keenly concerned in providing education, especially at a lower cost and within the reach of

the economically backward to help them to get jobs in today’s economic scenario.

IBM, Wipro, Infosys, Manipal Informatics, Adecco Flexione, DELL, Accenture, First source, TCS

J.P.Morgan are some of the Companies recruiting our students.

The elements of infrastructure that support the teaching-learning process are upgraded on a regular

basis. This means particular attention is given to library and computer labs, in addition to class rooms,

sports facilities and auditorium. Our library is fully computerized. Under N.S.S., special camps are

held every year under which Shramadana, Educational and Cultural Programmes, Free Medical

CAMPUS LOCATION

Manipal is located in Udupi District of the coastal region of Karnataka. It is situated 60 Kms

from Mangalore. Udupi is a famous pilgrimage center and is known as a temple town. The famous

Krishna temple is a centre of attraction to pilgrims who come from far off places.

Manipal is a beautiful little town on a plateau nestling between the azure Arabian Sea and the Western

Ghats. Some seven decades ago this place had only the awesome beauty of a barren rock devoid of

any human activity and haunted by lurking wild leopards behind the dark curtain of night. Then an

idea, that had only been a dream of Pai’s of Manipal began to shape itself into a reality, massive in

conception and masterly in execution and the place underwent a spectacular transformation virtually

beyond imagination, beyond recognition.

Today, Manipal is an internationally acclaimed centre of Primary, Secondary, Higher, Technical and

Management Education, specializing in diverse areas like Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy,

Engineering, Management, Bio-Sciences and Communication.

The Manipal group is one of the most respected private educational groups of India. The group has

pioneered the concept of quality private education in India. It believes that education is a service and

not a business. The Kasturba Medical College [KMC], Manipal Institute of Technology [MIT] and

T.A.Pai Management Institute [TAPMI] are some of the 53 world class educational institutions based

in Manipal, this is probably why Business Today referred to Manipal as ‘India’s Oxford’.

Our Founder - Sri T. Ramesh U. Pai

Sri.T.Ramesh..U.Pai was a unique personality with a creative and visionary outlook. He was a great

observer of the society around him. He was also an observer of the situations and the events in the

country. But, he was not one of those to observe and forget. As the tradition in his family, he always

thought of the ‘solution’ to the ‘demanding situation’. He could not just accept and tolerate injustice,

waste and inefficiency. That is where his greatness lay.

Sri.T.Ramesh.U.Pai was always ready with a practical proposal to the need of the time. This has not

only helped the institutions and the society around him but also, all the institutions and individuals

who came into contact with him. His mere presence gave solace.

Sri.T.Ramesh..U.Pai not only started many new ventures in different fields and introduced various

development schemes, but also saw to it that they were successfully implemented to become firm

foundation for further developments. The sphere of his activities spread all over the world. He was

never tired of hard work, work being worship for this great achiever. He had a great vision about the

Academy of Higher Education and had utilized all his energy to realize his dream. He was a

workaholic, never tired of working for translating big dreams into reality.

He was an excellent social worker, a great motivator and a Rotarian par excellence. He had reached

the highest honour any Indian Rotarian can hope, namely the International Director of Rotary. He was

the recipient of ‘State Award’ from the Government of Karnataka in1998 for his contribution in

education, and recipient of the highest honour award of Rotary International for Rotarians “Service

Above self Award” 2001-02.

He hailed from a family of Bankers; his father Upendra Anantha Pai founded Syndicate Bank Ltd. He

was the chairman of Maharashtra Apex Corporation Ltd. He was also Director of Several Joint Stock

Companies, including Reliance Industries Ltd. Even a number of Industrial Units and financial

institutions had the blessings and involvement of this great leader.


-13-

He had the opportunity of working very closely with his uncle, Dr.T.M.A.Pai, in founding the

Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Institute of Technology, Welcom Group School of Hotel

Administration, College of Dental Surgery, College of Pharmaceutical sciences and several other

Educational institutions right from Kindergarten to College level in different centers in Dakshina

Kannada, viz. Kasturba Hospital at Manipal and Mangalore, and Manipal Hospital at Bangalore.

He married Ms.Shanti who gave him full support in all his activities. They have been blessed with two

sons Sri.T.Sudhakar Pai, an Engineer trained in Management and Finance, who has been looking after

various commercial organizations and is the Managing Director of Kurl-On Ltd. His other son Dr.

Shantharam Pai has done MS (General Surgery), and is working at Loma Linda University,

California, USA. His elder daughter Shobha is in California and younger daughter Dr. Sheela is a

Gynecologist in U.A.E.

Thus, our founder Sri.T.Ramesh U.Pai was really a towering personality of various facets and

interests and has been primarily responsible for bringing the name of Manipal on the World Map of

Education, Medical Care, Banking and Finance, apart from various industries which are now dotting

the face of Manipal. But this was achieved by his constant and devoted application of skillful

creativity, where now stands the prestigious, Educational, Medical, Engineering, Banking, Financial

and Industrial institutions which serve as monumental testimony to the manifold qualities of his

genius in all aspects of human qualities and concern for the welfare of the society and mankind at

large .He was a great Social Worker.

The concept of education according to Sri.T.Ramesh.U.Pai was to impart skill and knowledge to

enhance a person’s productivity and income so that education eradicates poverty much faster.

It’s our bad luck that we lost this great visionary in January 2005. We always cherish his support,

enthusiasm and involvement in every activity we undertook.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Criterion I: Curricular Aspect

Madhava Pai Memorial College was founded in 1999 by Late Sri T. Ramesh.U.Pai to

give undergraduate courses to the residents not only of Manipal but also of the rural

areas in the vicinity of Manipal. The vision of the institution is “To provide non-

professional courses in the international center for professional colleges in Manipal”.

The mission of the institution is to provide value based education, to instill time spirit

and leadership skills in the students, to inculcate in them moral and cultural values

and ideas and to foster patriotism. The mission statement of the college is, “Let noble

thoughts come from all corners of the world”. The main objective of the institution

is to transform the students into well meaning citizens through the committed pattern

of instructions based on carefully prepared and well designed curricular aspect. The

curriculum design and model adaptation is done as per the university direction

through the Board of Studies and Academic Council recommendation.

From 2006-07, the college follows credit based semester system for degree courses

of B.A, B.Com, B.B.M, and B.C.A. degree courses The students have the flexibility

to pursue the degree programme within the time given by the university. Under the

credit based semester system, they have the flexibility to move from one extra-

Curricular activity to the other with some exceptions. In 2012-13, there was revision

of syllabus of BBM and BCA courses. The college also offers certain Skill

Development courses to enhance the students’ knowledge. Courses like

Communication Skills, Personality Development, etc are also provided to students of

all classes to honour their interpersonal skills. The college strictly adheres to the

syllabus designed by Mangalore University but while delivering this syllabus content

to the students, our faculty enrich it with their own expertise and experience so that

the students also gain employable qualities that enable them to get jobs in this highly

competitive world. The teacher’s evaluation by students is made through a structured

questionnaire. Once in six months there is a regular meeting of the principal with

faculty members, students, old students, parents and feedback is collected from them.

To maintain quality in the curricular aspects, measures like Morning Prayer, Uniform

Dress code for students, proctor system, maintenance of regular attendance through

college calendar, guest lectures, leadership training camps, etc. have been introduced.

Criteria II – Teaching Learning Evaluation

This institution keeps its doors open to all, that is, economically poor and poor in their

academics at the P.U.C. level. But opportunity for learning is provided through the

best teachers with a strong motivation to shape the students in the proper direction. So

this institution founded by Sri.T. Ramesh U.Pai is keenly concerned in providing


-15-

education, especially at a lower cost and within the reach of the economically

backward to help them to get jobs in today’s economic scenario.

The elements of infrastructure that support the teaching-learning process are upgraded

on a regular basis. This means particular attention is given to libraries and computer

labs, in addition to class rooms, sports facilities and auditorium. Our library is fully

computerized. Under N.S.S., special camps are held every year under which

Shramadana, Educational, Cultural Programmes, Free Medical Camp, Visiting the

villages and interacting with village people etc.

The admission process is purely transparent, and is made as per the University norms

only. The selection of students is made by a Committee of Staff members headed by

the Principal. The admission is followed by an orientation programme for the first

year students where students are given adequate guidance about the curriculum

system, modes of examinations, facilities, programmes offered, etc.

For the benefit of slow and advanced learners additional coaching classes are held

after evaluating their performance in the classroom and term exams. We have also

introduced a ‘Proctor system’: students are advised to seek counseling from the

concerned teachers. So far as teaching, learning and evaluation schedules are

concerned, a general plan is drawn at the beginning of the year and specific plans are

devised every month in the faculty meeting. All teachers maintain a work diary which

ensures academic discipline and bring in an element of accountability.

Apart from the class room interactions supplementary methods of teaching and

learning are used like Home assignments, seminars, field visits, educational tours,

guest lectures, Industrial visits, interaction with experts, group discussions etc.

Learning is made student- centered by supplementing lecture method with interactive

teaching in the areas required. Twice a year teacher’s classroom performance is

evaluated by the students and on the basis of this feedback teachers have adopted

changes in their teaching. Faculties keep pace with the recent development in the

subjects by attending seminars, workshops and orientation courses.

Recruitment and selection of teachers is done by the institution in which the following

steps are taken: publishing advertisement in leading newspapers and forming an

interview committee with a subject expert, Head of the Department and calling the

eligible applicants for an interview, and selection of right kind of candidates without

any compromise on merit and efficiency. The college has the required number of

qualified teachers to handle the courses. In case there is need for an additional faculty,

the principal is empowered by the college management to nominate and appoint the

faculty as per the requirements.

The head of the institution always encourages the faculty to participate in Seminars,

Conferences and Workshops etc. As far as the college exams are concerned, the

college has carried out evaluation reforms on the basis of feedback and discussion

held in the staff meeting.

The college maintains a system of continuous assessment of students’ performance.

Evaluation methods are communicated to the students and parents through proctor

system and regular meetings. The proctor meets the parents regularly on the day of

Parent –Teachers-Students Meeting.

The college meticulously develops action plans for effective implementation of the

curriculum. At the outset, Principal of the college conducts meetings with the .various

department heads to develop various strategies for effective implementation of the

curriculum. Teachers are encouraged beforehand to impart the curriculum through

innovative teaching methods such as presentations, assignments, discussions,

workshops, seminars, industrial visits, computer education apart from

regular/traditional teaching methods. Thereafter, the staff members of various

teaching departments conduct their internal meetings and develop academic plans for

the coming academic year. Keeping in view, the number of working days available,

the syllabus is divided into units which are to be finished by a given deadline. The

concerned faculty plans lectures according to the syllabus. The faculty takes lectures

as per the schedule.

Each department of the college follows the academic calendar issued by the affiliating

University. Each lecturer maintain Work-dairy Register giving the topics of the

syllabus to be covered in the allotted hours and also brief mention of the topics

covered which has to be submitted to the Principal at the end of every month.

The committee of Time-Table interacts with all HODs and subject faculties before the

commencement of new semester and makes plan for effective implementation of

curriculum.

The process for effective implementation of the curriculum is:

Time - table is prepared for various courses keeping in mind the total teaching

time available

The subject of a teacher is finalized on the basis of his/her qualifications and

specializations and also his / her preferred choice by HOD in consultation with

all the faculties.

The Time - table committee considers the number of students in a class and

thus allocates class room accordingly.

displaying on the notice board at the commencement of new semester.

The implementation of curriculum is monitored by HOD and accordingly

changes are made if required.

1.1.3 What type of support do the teachers receive for effectively translating the

curriculum and improving teaching practices?

The curriculum prepared by the Mangalore University, Mangalore, to which the

college is affiliated, is well transacted to the students after serious preparation as well

as critical thought by the teachers concerned. Being an affiliated institution we are

always in tune into the latest trends in education and guidelines. The Mangalore

University regularly organizes workshops, seminars and conferences to keep the

knowledge and teaching aptitude of the teachers updated. The faculty of the college

can discuss their issues or problems, if any, while participating in the meetings of the

Board OF Studies. The College also encourages the teachers to participate in the

Workshops/ Seminars and conferences organized by the various colleges affiliating to

university to update the knowledge and to improve the teaching practices. The college

bears all the expenditures of travelling including registration participation fee etc. The

college provides ample books and other teaching and reference material like Journals,

Magazines, and software’s to enable its teachers to ensure effective implementation of

curriculum.

1.1.4 Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the institution for

effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the Curriculum provided by the

affiliating University or other statutory agency.

Though the curriculum is designed and revised by the Mangalore University,

Mangalore, but for effective curriculum delivery, we give weightage to academic

improvement and at the same time give sufficient importance to overall development

of students by encouraging them to work with various forums of the college such as

Student Welfare Forum NSS, Red Cross, Rovers and Rangers, Women empowerment

Cell etc.. However, the college and the teaching faculty have taken many initiatives

for effective implementation of the curriculum. The college has organized the

workshop on the revision of the syllabus of B.B.M degree. The College faculty is

trained by the computer department to make them familiar with the use of computers

so that they are able to use the modern technological resources internet, projectors and

OHP’s etc. to supplement their class room lectures. The college library provides

books and journals for the use of teachers and students. In addition to the regular

subject classes, the college also organizes special lectures by inviting experts from

various fields to share their knowledge with the students. The college also organizes

special Personality Development Programs for its students. The students are also

taken out for educational tours such as industries/trade fairs, exhibitions and places of

historical importance to provide them a firsthand knowledge of various things.

Furthermore, for effective curriculum delivery, the college has got the provision of

remedial classes for slow learners. Special classes are conducted for those students,

who could not attend the classes on account of NSS camp or participation in the

sports or extra-mural activities to make up their loss.

programs. In 2012, the syllabus of BBM and, BCA has been revised. Though the

college faces a few constraints to modify the syllabus on its own, yet the affiliating

university has a system in place to get recommendations from its affiliated colleges

through Board of Studies. Some of the faculty members regularly participate in the

process of syllabus design.


-36-

Our teachers also participate in the discussions relating to the curriculum design and

also conduct workshops on behalf of the university. Whenever they find that the

syllabus needs to be modified to meet the present trends, they communicate their

ideas in black and white to their respective Members of board of Studies through the

Principal of the college. The members of the faculty brain storm and discuss amongst

themselves the relevance of the syllabus designed by the affiliating university. While

recommending or forwarding the suggestions to the Board of Studies our teachers

members of various departments. Outcome of parent-teacher meetings as well as

report from the administration is also taken into consideration while forwarding

suggestions to the board of studies.

followed, the college at various points takes stock of the effectiveness of these action

plans. Also, the college ensures that during the course of implementation, the stated

objectives of the curriculum are achieved. To do this, assignments, seminars are given

and various tests, Semester exams are conducted to monitor the outcomes of the

syllabus. Systematic documentation is maintained to review the outcomes of the

curriculum. If at any step, the college realizes that the laid objectives are not being

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially

students and faculty are aware of the evaluation process?

During the orientation programme and in the class room teaching evaluation

procedure is clearly specified to the students. The principal and head of the

department briefs the students about the evaluation process.

The detailed evaluation scheme is also made known to the students and the

parents during the admission process.

The other institutional members are informed of the evaluation methods in the

staff meetings.

Whenever the university makes any revision in the evaluation process, it is

communicated to the teachers in the staff-meetings and the information is

provided on the notice board.

The internal assessment marks lists are prepared and the students’ signatures

are obtained before they are sent to the university.

Valued answer scripts of tests and examinations are given to the students to

enable them to understand the method of evaluation.

2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has

adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?

Mangalore University has introduced the credit-based semester system from

the academic year 2006-07 for UG courses. This system takes into

consideration the performance of the students in extra-curricular activities like

sports and games, NSS, Personality development cell, fine arts, literary

activities etc.


-57-

Students are awarded not only distinctions, and first classes, but also a grade

Point based on Co Curricular (CC) and Extra-Curricular (EC) marks secured

in those activities as per the norms of the University.

The institution is bound to ensure effective implementation of all the reforms

made by the university, and it is done accordingly.

As it is an affiliated College, it has to follow the rules and provisions of the

University, so it has no reforms on its own.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation

reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own?

Parents-teachers-students association meet have been conducted for the

evaluation of the students twice in a year.

Periodically we conduct the examination for the students and it will be

evaluated by the respective staff members and the head of the institution.

Staff-in-charge of the classes gives the special counseling for the week

students in the subjects.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches adopted

to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively

impact the system.

The formative evaluation approach adopted by the college to measure student

achievement is Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation that acts as an effective tool

for assessing the overall personality of the students with the help of different

methodologies such as Group-Discussion, Assignment and its Presentation,

Preparation of models, Surprise Class-Test, Objective Questionnaire, Individual or

Group Mini-Project Work to internally evaluate students’ performance throughout the

session.. These methodologies help them groom as per the requirement of the

industry.

Summative evaluation of students is carried out at the end of the session in the form

of university semester end examination that is necessary for broader benchmarking of

our students. This helps the students to increase their confidence, reduces the fear of

examination and they come to know about the method of evaluation in the

examination. It is a student friendly approach.

7.3 Best practices:

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see

page..)which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional

Objectives and /or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core

activities of the college.

Best Practice-1

Title: Saving Life through Blood Donation

Goal: The aim of education is not only to achieve academic excellence but also to discern

one’s responsibility towards society. In today’s self-centred and materialistic world, it

is very difficult to cultivate the culture of compassion and consideration to others. It is

the duty of the college to inculcate the concept of social responsibility in the minds

and hearts of students. The students should realize that learning becomes meaningful

only when it provides service to society.

The Context: Emergency surgeries require blood, which is to be collected from donors.

Getting blood of the matching blood groups and in the required quantity is possible

primarily because of blood banks. Awareness campaigns have resulted in the success

of blood donation camps. Young students who are in good health are the best donors

of blood. Realizing this, the NSS, the Red Ribbon Club of the college, in association

with the other clubs have taken up the divine mission of organizing blood grouping

and blood donation campaigns.

The Practice: Every year, at least one Blood Donation Camp is arranged in the campus.

Moreover, the students of the college also donate blood to nearby hospitals as and

when required. On an average, around 50 students donate blood at least once every


-118-

year. In the college, blood donation camps are conducted with the help of a medical

team and the Blood Bank of the Government District Hospital, Udupi. A doctor

checks the health of each student who volunteers to donate blood. At this time the

doctor also suggests ways to improve the health of the weaker students. Blood is

collected from the students in a sterile environment. The blood is then taken to the

blood bank of the hospital to be stored there.

Best Practice-1I

Title of the Practice: Need-Based Curriculum

Goal: The College is very keen to watch trends. Before the market forces catch us off-guard,

we prepare new courses, faculty and facilities of international standards. This practice

lends the curriculum viability to cater to diverse needs of society and to direct the

students to make a wise choice matching the national and international trends.

The Context: The aim of the college is to equip the students with global competencies, so

that they could meet with the demands of the changing scenario successfully. Keeping

in mind this aim, the institution studies the national and international trends, moulds

and makes choices of courses accordingly. Where need be, it designs innovative

courses to provide a new choice to the students. This practice has boosted the image

of the institution in the public eye, and has attracted more students from the region.

The Practice: The multifarious curriculum offers a wide range of job-oriented and skill

based courses and provides the learners the option to match their aptitude and interest

with the subject of their choice.

Other practices-

Towards quick and direct information: Public Address System.

All departments participate in the daily events. Best students are selected and

they can also be motivated to participate in their weekly events.

Responding to the National emergencies (Uttarakhand Flood)

Learning in context: presenting content through real world problems.

Preparation of wall magazine by the students

Pollution case study in Endosulfan affected area in Belthangady taluk of

Karnataka State.

Motivating students to present papers in seminars.
