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

Contribution: The IQAC, prepares an academic calender at the beginning of the year through
interaction/meetings with faculty members and other members. Teaching – learning, co-curricular and
extension activities are discussed and finalized in these meetings. New methodologies and innovative
practices are encouraged. Further, faculty is encouraged to avail the facility of journals, e-journals and
reference books in the library to update their knowledge and pass it on to the students in a timely manner.
Various visits to industries and interaction with corporate world are also organised. These activities help
in grooming our students as all-round personalities and as citizens of global society. The outcome can be
seen in the form of various industries approaching us for campus recruitment.

Monitoring: Through meetings with the HODS, the IQAC discusses the impact of their teaching on
students. Informal discussion with the students also helps in monitoring the teaching learning process.

Evaluation: At the college level, term end examination is conducted for under graduate courses and Mid-
semester exam for M.Com classes. Assessment of these papers and analysis of results is done by the
faculty and discussed in IQAC meetings.

Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR Page 11

There is a formal system of collection of feedback from students on the college and the teachers. Analysis
of such feedback helps in evaluation of performance.

Also, results of the annual examination conducted by the University help us in understanding the
performance of the students and effectively the teaching learning process.
