The Digital Exam Paper Delivery (DEPD) system was extended and implemented for Sem III and

IV from the academic year 2017-18 by the University of Mumbai.

In view of this, the college took the following steps to implement the above system for the smooth

conduct of the examinations.

An exclusive room was provided with CCTV surveillance to maintain confidentiality according

University norms. The room is equipped with computers and laptops with webcams, printer and two

photocopier machines to enable the college to speedily process the downloaded papers to be sent to

respective blocks on time. Papers were sealed in an envelope in the exam room which were opened

by the respective block supervisors only after taking the signature of one student from the block on

the sealed envelope. This practice has helped to maintain the confidentiality of papers during the

distribution of the papers.

The Examination Committee of the college plays a major role in implementing all the

norms laid down by the University of Mumbai.

The students have the facility of obtaining photocopy of the assessed answer books for

Verification and Revaluation as per the ordinances and regulations of University of Mumbai.

2.12 How does IQAC Contribute/Monitor/Evaluate the Teaching & Learning processes:

The IQAC under the supervision of the Principal monitors the quality of teaching-learning process.

Preparation of academic calendar, teaching plan and its effective implementation helps the faculty to

complete the syllabus well in time.

The Principal and the respective head of the departments, at periodic intervals, review the progress of

completion of syllabus.

IQAC with consent of the concerned faculty and /or Department helps the teacher for organizing extra

lectures/practicals so as to complete the syllabus satisfactorily.

Student’s progress is monitored during the lectures and/or practicals and corrective measures are

taken for slow learners.

All departments submit their reports of teaching-learning process to the IQAC which enumerates and

analyses the reports and suggest measures to improve the academic curriculum.

Periodic feedback is taken from students by IQAC to evaluate faculty performance in classes engaged

by them.

Subsequently the feedback is analyzed and shared with the teachers so that any improvement required

can be implemented.

BEST PRACTICE-I

Title: Centralized Management with Decentralized Administration

Introduction:

Good administration or governance is a pre-requisite for the academic growth, quality enhancement

and holistic development of students. A good administrative system encourages good working

environment and participatory management, leading to balanced growth of the institute. Taking into

account the significance of best governance, the institute has adopted unique practices with specific

objectives.

Objectives of the Practice:

The objectives of the practice are to have-

Centralized planning and policy making.

Decentralized planning and responsibilities.

Autonomy with respect to implementation of the curriculum with proper planning.

Autonomy to the faculty members in the teaching-learning process, preparation of teaching plan,

its implementation and review. Flexibility to make use of various learning resources to enhance their course knowledge. Good working environment and co-operation among stakeholders.

Need for the implementation of the practice:

For an excellent institutional administration, there is a need for a dynamic management with

long-term vision. The Principal should have excellent leadership qualities, broad mindedness and innovative ideas.

The faculty members need to be astute to handle academic and administrative responsibilities.

The faculty members should also be well-acquainted with the rules pertaining to evaluation

system, internal assessment-projects, assignment, and presentations.

The support staff should give support to all departments.

Training and retraining of the teaching and non-teaching staff to enhance their professional

competencies.

AQAR 2017-18


The implementation of the Practice:

Policies related to the institute are framed by the Management and the Principal in

consultation with Advisory Committee, Local Managing Committee, IQAC, etc., therefore the

elements of centralised and decentralised administrative processes are visible.

Every faculty member, the administrative and supporting staff and student representatives

have a role in various decisions at the departmental levels.

This practice is unique as there is a combination of centralized and decentralised planning and

administration.

7The faculty members are convenors and students are members of various committees and

associations in the institute. Discipline, attendance, cultural activities, initiatives from the

Women’s Development Cell, etc., allowed flourishing and implementation of various

activities are valued.

The administrative staff is trained to look after the office work of the institution

independently.

The details of daily lectures engaged by visiting faculty members are been properly recorded

on lecture record sheet duly signed by the concerned faculty member and Principal.

The departmental heads are allowed to plan the functioning of their departments.

Success of the practice:

Active Management and quick decision making at the top level has helped the institute in

creating a good infrastructure and a high academic standard.

The quality of teaching-learning process has improved due to the use of ICT resources and up

gradation of subject knowledge of the faculty members from time to time.

Good administrative system and procedures have resulted in optimum utilisation of human

resources in the teaching-learning process.

Employees are aware of their roles, duties and responsibilities, which have facilitated the

smooth and effective functioning of the institute.

Students’ involvement in academic activities and different committees indicate the success of

this practice.

Internal co-ordination and monitoring mechanism has facilitated quick decision-making and

its implementation.

The outcome of the practice is that more number of students and faculty members are actively

participating in extension and outreach activities every year.

Problems faced and resources required for the implementation of the said practice:

When employees proceed on casual leave or duty leave with the cooperation of other staff additional

responsibilities are shared to maintain smooth functioning on college campus.

AQAR 2017-18


BEST PRACTICE-II

Title: Remedial Academic Support

Introduction:

The institute has always focused on the holistic development of the students. Students admitted to the

institute may come from an economically disadvantage background, low literacy rate, vernacular

medium and first generation learners. These factors hinder the academic growth of the students. To

overcome said hindrances, the institute has adopted a practice of providing remedial academic

support to slow learners in the form of contact lectures.

Objectives of the Practice:

The objectives of the practice are:

To enable slow learners to get through examination.

To assist students to come up with their personal academic problems.

To provide them reference books and study materials.

To make students aware of the topics important from the examination point of view which

enable them to prepare accordingly.

To cater to the academic needs of students of all programs.

The context:

Initially, when the said practice was implemented on the basis of recommendations of IQAC and

with the approval of the Management the response from the students was less. But gradually the

number of students in the contact lectures increased. The faculty members also supported the

practice for academic betterment of the students.

The practice:

This practice is unique in nature and completely focuses on the academic development of the

students.

Each department prepares the contact lecture time-table prior to ATKT and Ex-students

examination for all programs.

The time table of contact lectures is displayed on the notice board on all floors of the

institution and in staff room for intimation and information of the students and faculty

members respectively.

The contact lectures time-table is uploaded on the college website and sometimes after

working hours.

The faculty members prepare themselves with study material and topics to be discussed in

their respective course contact lecture.

AQAR 2017-18


The contact lectures are conducted during the working hours of the college and sometimes

after working hours.

Attendance is taken during the contact lectures.

The institute does not charge any additional fees for conduct of contact lectures.

Evidence of Success:

Slow learners feel more free and comfortable to come up with their doubts and queries and get

satisfactory solution.

More and more slow learners have started attending the remedial classes.

The success rate of the students has considerably increased.

Problems encountered and resources required:

At the beginning of the implementation of the said practice the response of the students was not

appreciable. To counter this problem, the students were made to understand the importance of

contact lectures with the help of the concerned course faculty member in each program on account

of which, the number of students gradually increased. The institution does not encounter with any

resource problem in implementing the said practice as contact lectures are taken in the classrooms

during the college hours.

Apart from the aforementioned best practices the institute follows the following practices: -

Fee installments system granted to the needy and deserving students.

Employment opportunities available to all students as per guidelines of industry.

AQAR 2017-18
