Jogamaya Devi College, Kolkata | 1
Jogamaya Devi College was established in 1932 by Late Shyamaprasad Mukherjee as the
women’s section of Asutosh College, with only 155 students enrolled for the I.A. course. It
began its existence as a separate establishment in 1957 when it was delinked from Asutosh
College and was affiliated to Calcutta University as Asutosh College for Women in 1958.
The college was renamed Jogamaya Devi College after the demise of Lady Jogamaya Devi,
wife of Sir Asutosh Mukherjee.
The college is located at 92, S. P. Mukherjee Road, at the Hazra crossing and adjacent to the
lush green Jatin Das Park. It is well-connected by metro and bus routes to the far reaches of
the city and its suburbs. As the college evolved from its humble beginnings, new courses
were added in response to the demands of the changing educational scenario. An annex
building was built in 1992 at 5A, Rajeswar Dasgupta Road to accommodate the new
departments and the increasing number of students.
Overcoming countless challenges through its 82 year long journey, today the institution is
the largest women’s college in West Bengal with over 4000 students hailing from all over
India as well as Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. The teachers, non-teaching staff and
students of the college persevere to keep alive its rich legacy of excellence. Its cosmopolitan
character and emphasis on a holistic development have elevated the college to a unique
position in the sphere of women’s education. The innumerable alumni who have achieved
distinction in diverse fields bear testimony to the fact that the students of our college have
contributed generously to the betterment of not only our society but also of the wider world.
A brief summary of criterion wise self study report of the college is presented here.
Criterion I: Curricular Aspects
With a long tradition of imparting quality education to women, Jogamaya Devi College is
actively engaged in its mission of extending the frontiers of education beyond mere
classroom teaching. An efficient administration deploys all the resources at its disposal to
provide value-based, inclusive education with emphasis on innovation and creativity and
awareness of social issues.
An ideal learning environment is created through tireless efforts of statutory bodies,
including the Governing Body, IQAC, Academic Committee, Finance Committee, Building
Committee and the Teachers’ Council, as well as the non-statutory committees that look into
matters related to admission, examination, the library, routine, prospectus, cultural activities,
student election, prize distribution, accreditation, etc. The academic calendar and prospectus
are published each year and distributed among students at the time of admission. Students
are thereby informed about the rules, regulations and infrastructure of the college, the
courses offered and the fee structure, prizes and scholarships and other facilities. All
relevant information related to the various activities of the college is also regularly
communicated to all the stakeholders through the official website.
The college is affiliated to the University of Calcutta and strictly adheres to its prescribed
curriculum and academic calendar. At present, the college offers Honours courses in 18
subjects and General courses with a variety of subject combinations. Besides this, it also has
a self–financed vocational Communicative English (Major) Course which aims at the
acquisition of English language skills for professional purposes. Workshops and seminars on
soft skills, entrepreneurship development and computer literacy are regularly organized in
association with prestigious institutions to make the students professionally competent.
Workshops, seminars and extension lectures with eminent experts as invited speakers are
regularly held to keep the teachers abreast of the recent developments in their respective
subject areas and to upgrade the teaching quality. The teachers are encouraged to participate
in Refresher and Orientation Courses, seminars and symposia and to involve themselves in
research activities. Several teachers are also engaged in supervising Ph. D. thesis of scholars
in collaboration with other universities. The college teachers are also significant contributors
to education bodies such as the Board of Studies, University of Calcutta, which has an
impact on curriculum design. The teachers are regularly appointed as Examiners, Head
Examiners, Moderators, Paper Setters and Scrutineers for University examinations.
Workshops and seminars are regularly held on socially relevant issues concerning women,
environment, human rights and consumer awareness. Community orientation is achieved
through various N.S.S. activities like awareness programmes conducted by the students in
nearby economically backward areas. The college has a long-standing and dynamic N.C.C.
contingent which serves to foster feelings of national integration and service among the
students. They are encouraged to participate in Value-Orientation camps which serve to
inculcate moral and ethical values and develop a sense of social responsibility. The college
is deeply committed to the welfare of the weaker sections of society and organizes special
classes and remedial lectures to address the needs of students from S.C., S.T., minority
communities and backward classes and first-generation learners.
The teaching–learning process is regularly evaluated through class tests as well as the formal
system of internal examinations, mid-term and selection tests. The performance of the
students in college and university examinations and their subsequent absorption into
institutes of higher education and professions provide us with a yardstick to measure the
effectiveness of our curriculum delivery.
Criterion II: Teaching –Learning And Evaluation
In keeping with the institution’s objective of the empowerment of women through
education, the teaching, learning and evaluation processes adopted by the college are geared
towards fostering the qualities of competence, confidence and excellence in the student.
Regular reviewing of the admission criteria and students’ profile has resulted in a sharp rise
in the quality of students, lower drop-out rates and optimum filling-up of seats in the last
few years Students from minority communities or those facing physical, social or economic
challenges as well as sportspersons and athletes not only get admission as per the reservation
norms of the government, but the college ensures that they receive steady support in all
respects in order to complete their studies.. Besides, the students’ welfare cell and
counseling cell work actively to eliminate drop-outs. The curriculum and the methods of
teaching, learning and round-the-year assessment are student-centric, catering to the diverse
needs of both slow learners and advanced learners. Academic opportunities like classroom
seminar, students’ seminar, term paper/research project in some subjects are offered to
encourage the latter’s research abilities. The quality of teaching is sustained through
teachers’ participation in various academic activities and training programmes and is
monitored through self-appraisal of the teacher, feedback from outgoing third year students
and by the IQAC, a college body which oversees teaching standards and particularly
encourages the use of modern methods and technology in teaching-learning. Two new
undergraduate programmes – B.A. (Major) in Communicative English and B. Com.
(Honours) – have been introduced in the last few years for the benefit of the students.
Besides conducting compulsory computer literacy programme for first year students and soft
skill development course, the college also sensitizes the students to the issues of social,
humanitarian and environmental concern, the newly established N.S.S. playing a vital role in
the latter. The college takes great pleasure in the fact that many students have been absorbed
in higher studies and in other professions after having graduated from Jogamaya Devi
College.
Criterion III: Research, Consultancy and Extension Report
Steeped in rich history of close to a century, the college takes pride in having a competent
and learned faculty and provides the best facilities available to students for their
comprehensive development. The college authority always encourages research
collaboration with various national and international institutes. A unit in the annexe building
dedicated to faculty research programme is near to completion. Through numerous research
initiatives (local, national and global) undertaken by the faculty, the analytical, creative and
scientific temperament is nurtured. Many such research activities find mention in prestigious
publications and have brought recognition and distinction to the faculty and the institution.
Interdisciplinary research programmes are taken up by the faculty of various departments.
Series of dissemination lectures by faculty researchers inculcate research motivation to all
our students. Students are taken to field trips where they are trained in basic approaches of
acquisition of primary data, data processing, documentation and analysis and are given
proper guidance to submit project reports. The institution regularly organises conferences,
seminars and workshops in order to rope in researchers of eminence to visit the campus and
interact with teachers and students. Students are also selected as speakers in departmental
seminars and teachers always act as mentors. Moreover the students have wholeheartedly
participated in various inter-college seminars and symposia, and have brought laurels to the
institution. Students are also encouraged to contribute to the society by actively participating
in social and cultural events through NCC, NSS etc. Lastly, the institution firmly believes in
instilling discipline and moral values amongst all students, preparing them to become good
human beings with an unwavering commitment to use education as a tool to contribute
towards the nation’s progress. The college has a compulsory feedback system where the role
of teachers, departmental activities and infrastructural facilities offered by the college are
assessed by the students. This is taken into account in policy decision, leading to further
improvement in various aspects of the college.
Criterion IV: Infrastructure And Learning Resources
The creation and enhancement of infrastructure along with the optimum utilisation of
learning resources has been the mainstay of the college for years. In spite of being housed in
a building that is shared by three colleges in different shifts, the college has been able to
make its way in constructing an annexe building and looks forward to the completion of a
new block that shall hold an AC seminar hall of its own, equipped with LCD and audiovisual facilities. As an institution that facilitates advancement in different streams of
knowledge, the college ensures that classrooms and laboratories are equipped with necessary
modern facilities and enhanced instruments. Besides a well-planned computer laboratory,
different departments have their own laptops to employ digital aids in the learning process.
The Jogamaya Devi College Computer Centre is a proud possession that runs in technical
collaboration with The Institute of Computer Engineers (India), Kolkata, and the college has
a post-graduate study centre which has gained immense popularity since its inception in
2008.
The College has always had an active cultural life and has been a hub for young talents. It is
boastful to have produced many sports persons who have played at the university, state,
national and international levels and have numerous prizes and awards to their credit. The
democratically elected students union of the college is engaged in holding events of different
sorts across the year. It is noteworthy that the N.C.C. of our college is 58 years old. Our
N.C.C. contingent is the largest one under 1 st Bengal girls’ battalion. The college offers B
and C certificate N.C.C. courses. Cadets from this college have won several distinctions at
the state and national level.
The college has a general library, a textbook library, a Common Room library and seminar
libraries for each department. Internet facility for accessing e-book is available and students
are encouraged to make necessary downloads for academic purposes. Based on the needs of
students and scholars, the library is periodically upgraded under the supervision of the
Librarian and the Principal. The College has been facilitating library automation with eager
zest. The college has taken institutional membership in libraries of repute and conducts
weeding out of books occasionally.
In pace with the demands of modern techniques in teaching and learning process, the college
has been constantly promoting the use of technological aids in dissemination of knowledge.
The computer laboratory contains computers of latest configuration, with LAN and Wi-Fi
connectivity. With increase in student-strength and inclusion of computer application in the
curriculum of different subjects, the need for more computers is ever-increasing. The
requirement is assessed on yearly basis and arrangement is made for new procurement. The
teachers, staff and students of the college are provided with the facility to have basic and
advanced knowledge of computer application at concessional rate at the Jogamaya Devi
College Computer Centre. The college also imparts compulsory computer literacy
programme for all the students at the computer laboratory.
Criterion V: Student Mentoring and Support
The college has a website that provides all relevant information. In addition to this, at the
time of admission the college provides the students with the prospectus containing its vision
and objectives, details of fee structure, admission criteria, subject combinations,
scholarships, freeships, prizes and awards, different student support cells, rules and
regulations and all other necessary information. During admission students can interact with
teachers who counsel them on the prospect of the courses offered. At the beginning of the
session, students are provided with Academic Calendar which contains details of the course
plan with schedule of Mid-term and Selection Test in accordance with University
regulations. During a session, all information in the form of notice/circular is displayed in
advance on the Notice Board of both the buildings.
The College maintains 100% ragging-free environment and a very warm and cordial
teacher-student relationship. A democratically elected students’ union works hand in hand
with the teachers and administration to maintain discipline and performs various functions.
Every department takes utmost care to complete syllabus on time. Teachers also help the
weak students/slow learners beyond the class hours. Remedial classes are organised for
SC/ST/OBC/Minority students. These attempts are made to tackle the problem of dropouts
and failures.
Special classes and flexible examination dates are arranged for students participating in
sports and other extra-curricular activities. Sports kit, dress and shoes are provided to
students representing the college at State and University level. Freeship and endowment
scholarships are given to applicants who are economically challenged. Arrangements are
made for differently abled students and freeships are extended to them also. First-aid box,
wheel chairs and stretchers are available in the campus to combat emergency situations.
Medical and accident insurance scheme cover all the students. Students are awarded prizes
and scholarships for both academic and extra-curricular excellence. They are encouraged to
participate in various inter/intra college co-curricular and extra-curricular competitions,
departmental seminars and workshops for their all-round development. Literary talent hunt
is done through publication of annual magazine and different departmental wall-magazines.
Computer literacy programmes, soft-skill development programmes and entrepreneur
development programmes are conducted to enhance the language proficiency of the students
and to make them more competent for the job market.
The Grievance Cell, Placement Cell and Counselling Cell support the students to address
their complaints and grievances, placement and training, and career and psychological
counselling respectively. Summer camps give the students opportunities of job-training. The
College has a very old but active N.C.C. unit which brings laurels every year. N.S.S. unit is
newly created and is gearing up. The college has an Alumni Association. Its activities are
concerned with social work.
The campus cleanliness is given due care. The Campus has drinking water and canteen
facilities. Both reading and lending opportunity is given to all students by the college library
which maintains a huge stock of books and journals. Teachers guide the students appearing
at various entrance and competitive examinations.
Jogamaya Devi College is a premier women’s college in West Bengal and the faculty and
staff are driven towards fulfilling the responsibility and dream that comes with the heritage
and history that our institution boasts of. The college is single-mindedly driven towards the
empowerment of women in the realm of education, so that the shining beacon of knowledge
is disseminated to as many young, willing and ambitious women from various economic and
social strata, as possible. We believe that to counter the atrocity and violence against
women, the best weapon is that of knowledge. We believe that knowledge is power.
A passion for the pursuit of excellence is the motto and guiding principle of our college. Our
college has a goal to implement and it can only be realised through proper leadership. Not
only does it want to see itself as championing the education of women, it would also like to
play a part in the building of the nation, as we believe these two aspects are inextricably
linked, knowing that the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world. Our faculty members
form the backbone of this institution and the college sees to it that proper encouragement
and assistance to the faculty members is given to carry out research activities and to
consolidate and strengthen themselves which would be beneficial to the students in the long
run.
The vision and mission of the institution is achieved through strategic action plan, schedule
for future development, effective leadership and participative decision-making process. The
college provides an atmosphere of freedom with 100% ragging-free environment in which
students can flourish and their talents blossom in full. Accountability and transparency in the
execution of duties is the primary focus of all teaching and non-teaching staff under the
leadership of the principal. Faculty and staff are intimately involved in all academic and
policy decisions and represent all statutory and non-statutory committees. Thus there is a
good coordination between academic and administrative planning. We have shortage in staff
strength but voluntary services offered by both faculty and staff ensures adherence to
deadlines. Although available resource is limited, it is optimally allocated and utilized.
To sum it all up, our aim and goal is to propagate learning and thus help in realizing the
dream of a stronger society and a stronger country.
Criterion VII: Innovations and Best Practices
The college promotes environmental awareness in all its stakeholders and follows
environment-friendly practices by enforcing a total no-smoking policy, following all
regulations related to waste management, handling of e-waste and toxic chemicals and
controlling carbon dioxide emissions. It lays thrust on innovation in the teaching-learning
process and actively promotes modernization of the same through computerization,
renovation of existing infrastructure and introduction of programmmes aimed at
development of professional competence in the students.
The college believes that education is the most important tool for the empowerment of
women. Acknowledging the greater responsibility that comes with the education of young
women, the college provides every support – financial, academic and emotional – to its
needy students. It helps them to blossom into socially responsible individuals, deeply
conscious of moral and ethical values and capable of providing leadership and guidance to
others when necessary. All kinds of support are extended to them to realize their potential
and fulfill their dream of quality education.
The college also maintains a sustained emphasis on co- and extra-curricular activities to
bring about all-round development of the students. It undertakes to explore and bring to
fruition the latent potential of each student and to provide an ambience for creative
expression. The students are also encouraged to organize and participate in cultural
programmes and to keep alive the thoughts of great philosophers, philanthropists and poets
through the observance of their birth and death anniversaries.
In spite of several constraints, these best practices have been conscientiously followed by
the college and it remains committed to following the same in the years to come.

larger no of students to compete in the technological era.
9. To provide necessary training to Teachers and Staff taking up administrative
work
Challenges
1. There is no space for horizontal expansion of the building and vertical expansion
is already optimum, hence, huge no. of students seeking admission to the college
each year cannot be accommodated.
2. There is paucity of land in the immediate surrounding which can be acquired
development of the college.
3. Mushrooming of technical institutions poses a dearth in availability of quality
students in the graduate science courses.
4. Poor language competences of students lead to unsatisfactory level of
comprehension and communication. This is a challenge to face the job market
and develop global competencies.

CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1.
Curriculum Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and describe how these
are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other stakeholders.
Jogamaya Devi College is one of the premier institutions for women’s education in India.
The college has been tirelessly engaged in the creation of a long and illustrious lineage of
women achievers in every field of life. The galaxy of eminent personalities the college has
as its alumni, bears testimony to this noble Endeavour. It provides opportunity for higher
education to a large number of students from different economic cultural, ethnic and
linguistic backgrounds as well as minority communities and backward classes (S.C., S.T.
and O.B.C.)
Our Vision
 AATMA DEEPO BHAVA (Let the light within guide you)
 To empower women from all sections of society through holistic education centered
on academics.
 To instill in our students moral values, discipline and dynamism along with
imparting quality education.
 To sustain the rich legacy of excellence of the college.
Our Mission

To cater to the ever-increasing need for women’s education in West Bengal, its
neighboring States and countries like Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh.

To impart quality education to women students from backward classes and firstgeneration learners from economically challenged backgrounds, thereby encouraging
inclusive growth.

To provide an ambience that makes our students ethically strong and professionally
competent and, thereby, contributing to a healthy and prosperous society.

To encourage innovative thinking and creativity and inculcate research skills in our
students.

To optimize the use of available infrastructure for sustained development of the
college.

To supplement and enrich the existing curriculum through seminars and extension
lectures by eminent scholars.

To adequately assess and address the special needs of backward students through the
implementation of Remedial Programmes.

To encourage greater participation of students in various academic, cultural and
social activities and to develop healthy co-curricular and extra- curricular activities.
Every year the college conducts an orientation programme for the incumbent first year
learners, in which the vision, mission, objectives and code of discipline are communicated to
the students.
The college administration functions through several statutory and non-statutory
committees. The teachers and staff members participate in framing and implementing the
policies of the college through regular meetings.

The academic calendar and college prospectus are published each year and distributed
among students at the time of admission. All information and decisions are timely circulated
to the students, teachers and the non-teaching staff through notices, which are also displayed
in the notice book. All relevant notifications regarding curricular and co-curricular activities
are further communicated through the official website of the college: www.
jogamayadevicollege.org.
1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective
implementation of the curriculum? Give details of the process and substantiate
through specific example(s).
The academic calendar, prepared by the different departments, outlines the distribution of
syllabus among the faculty members and the number of lectures allotted for its completion.
In addition, the internal examinations of the college (Mid-term and selection test) are held
according to the academic calendar published every year by the University of Calcutta.
During internal examinations for a particular year, special classes are simultaneously held
for other-year students to ensure that the syllabus is completed in time. Prior to University
examinations, special classes are organized to enrich their study curriculum. As per UGC
guidelines, remedial coaching for students from S.C, S.T, O.B.C and minority community
are held throughout the year.
Advanced methods of teaching are followed in the classroom, which include the use of
PowerPoint presentations, OHP, models, assignments, regular interactive discussions with
students, practical tests and internal assessment test to build up a better appreciation of the
subject.
1.1.3. What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive (from
the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the curriculum and
improving teaching practices?
The yearly academic activities are conducted according to the academic calendar published
by the University of Calcutta. The college is informed of the changes and modifications in
the curriculum through circulars from the university, copies of which are distributed among
the faculty members. Implementation of new syllabus is initiated by the university by
organizing workshops for the teachers. The teachers are encouraged to participate in these
workshops which ensure fruitful introduction of the modified syllabus.
The college also encourages its teachers to participate in Refresher courses and Orientation
programmes and various seminars and symposia to keep themselves abreast of recent
developments and frontier areas of research in their respective subjects.
Teachers are allowed to purchase books and journals of their respective subjects.
Photocopying facilities, computers and Internet connections, printing and scanning facilities
are available to the teachers to facilitate the improvement of the teaching-learning process
and research activities.
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.
Steps are taken to ensure that the syllabus is completed in time through special classes
whenever needed. To improve the quality of teaching, teachers are encouraged to participate
in workshops, seminars, refresher courses and orientation programmes to enable up
gradation in the recent developments and frontier areas of research in their respective
subjects. Modern and innovative teaching tools are made available to the teachers to
improve curriculum delivery.
Remedial Coaching Classes are held regularly for the students from S.C., S.T, O.B.C. and
minority communities.
1.1.5. How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as
industry, research bodies and the university in effective operationalisation of the
curriculum?
The faculty members are encouraged to attend workshops and seminars on their areas of
interest in order to keep them well-informed of the recent developments in their subjects.
1.1.6. What are the contributions of the institution and/or its staff members to the
development of the curriculum by the University? (Number of staff members/
departments represented on the Board of Studies, student feedback, teacher feedback,
and stakeholder feedback provided, specific suggestions etc.)

Suggestions are often sought by the Board of Studies of the University of Calcutta from
the subject teachers of the colleges, prior to the introduction of new syllabus or the
upgrading of existing syllabus. The college teachers are invited to attend workshops on
the proposed syllabus where they can make suggestions and propose changes. Two of
our faculty members, Dr. Ruma Basu (Dept. of Physics) and Dr. Abhijit Chakraborty
(Dept. of Geology) are members of the Board of Studies of the University of Calcutta in
their respective subjects. Dr. Suchismita Roy Paul, of the Dept. of Sociology, was a
former member of the Board of Studies.

The faculty members of the English Department belong to the English Study Centre, an
autonomous body, which holds regular meetings to discuss the syllabus and other
academic matters. The recommendations of the Study Centre are passed on to the Board
of Studies.

The college teachers are sometimes asked to contribute to the Model Question Papers
published by the University of Calcutta for each subject.

Besides this, the college teachers are appointed Examiners, Head Examiners,
Scrutineers, Paper-Setters and Moderators for the University examinations.
1.1.7. Does the institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered (other than
those under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If ‘yes’, give details on the
process (’Needs Assessment’, design, development and planning) and the courses for
which the curriculum has been developed.
Not Applicable.
1.1.8. How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of curriculum are
achieved in the course of implementation?
The effectiveness of our system of curriculum delivery can be assessed by monitoring the
performance of our students in college internal as well as University examinations.
Moreover, the performance of our students in various national and State-level entrance
examinations and their subsequent absorption in different higher education institutes and
jobs serves as the yardstick for evaluating the extent to which the college has been able to
implement its curriculum.
1.2 Academic Flexibility
1.2.1. Specifying the goals and objectives give details of the certificate/diploma/ skilldevelopment courses etc., offered by the institution.
At present, the college has only one self-financed course, Communicative English Major.
This vocational course was introduced to address the future professional needs of the
students and aims at the acquisition of English language skills, both spoken and written. The
course also includes on-job training where the students are required to undergo one-month
internship in different corporate and media offices. The students are also required to put in a
month of practice teaching of conversational English in Spoken English centers. This
provides them with valuable exposure to different career opportunities.
1.2.2. Does the institution offer programmes that facilitate twinning /dual degree? If
‘yes', give details.
Not Applicable.
1.2.3. Give details on the various institutional provisions with reference to academic
flexibility and how it has been helpful to students in terms of skills development,

The admission to the Communicative English Course takes place along with the admission
to the other regular courses of the college following similar procedure. The University of
Calcutta syllabus for Communicative English (Major) course is followed.
1.2.5. Does the college provide additional skill oriented programmes, relevant to
regional and global employment markets? If ‘yes’ provide details of such programme
and the beneficiaries.
All first year students have to undergo a compulsory computer training programme
throughout the year where they are taught basic computer skills at a nominal fee of Rs. 300/. Moreover, a Soft-Skill Development Programme of 5 weeks duration is offered for the
final year students of the college. The programme involves training the students in basic
conversational English, facing job interviews, CV writing and group discussion.
1.2.6. Does the University provide for the flexibility of combining the conventional faceto-face and Distance Mode of Education for students to choose the courses/combination
of their choice” If ‘yes’, how does the institution take advantage of such provision for
the benefit of students?
No. The institution has limited autonomy to exercise the academic flexibility of allowing
students to change from one discipline to another. Subject change is only allowed within the
stipulated time set by the University after admission to a particular course in the first year.
Moreover, students are to choose subject combinations from those offered by the college
(see list above). The flexibility for combining conventional and distance modes of
education does not exist.
1.3 Curriculum Enrichment
1.3.1. Describe the efforts made by the institution to supplement the University’s
Curriculum to ensure that the academic programmes and Institution’s goals
and objectives are integrated?
Apart from the different programmes mentioned earlier, seminars and extension lectures are
held regularly to provide exposure to the students regarding the recent developments in their
subjects and to orient them towards higher education and research.
1.3.2. What are the efforts made by the institution to enrich and organize the
curriculum to enhance the experiences of the students so as to cope with the needs of
the dynamic employment market?
The Communicative English (Major) Course (self-financed) and the Soft-Skill Development
Programme were started to increase the professional competence of the students to cater to
the needs of the dynamic employment market. A computer literacy programme is in place
for the first year students.
The Jogamaya Devi College computer Centre functions in technical collaboration with the
Institute of Computer Engineers (India) and an Academic Committee, with the Principal of
the college as the chairperson, looks after the academic affairs of the centre. The courses of
the centre are designed to train the students in Computer Technology at affordable rates. The
courses are updated at regular intervals to meet the requirements of the IT industry. A
minimum discount of 15% only for DOEACC courses are made available to Jogamaya Devi
College students. The certificate courses are recognized by Directorate of Employment,
Govt. of West Bengal.
1.3.3. Enumerate the efforts made by the institution to integrate the cross cutting issues
such as Gender, Climate Change, Environmental Education, Human Rights, ICT etc.,
into the curriculum?
The college functions in the morning hours and has to share classroom and lab space with
day and evening shift colleges. Moreover, it has to adhere strictly to the University of
Calcutta curriculum and due to this constraint of time and space it is unable to conduct fulltime courses on socially relevant issues. The college compensates for this shortcoming by
regularly conducting Workshops, Seminars and Extension lectures on Women’s Rights and
other issues related to women as well as environmental awareness programmes.
Environmental education is imparted according to the University of Calcutta syllabus. This
includes theoretical lectures and a 25 mark project. As part of their project work, the
students are taken to study various aspects of nearby areas of environmental interest such as
the East Calcutta Wetlands (a Ramsar Site).
1.3.4. What are the various value-added courses/enrichment programmes offered to
ensure holistic development of students?

examinations for joining the armed forces after graduation. Many of our C certificate cadets
have joined the armed forces. A Soft-Skill Development Programme is organized to widen
career options for the students. A computer literacy programme is in place for the first year
students.
On 3rd Feb 2014, the Dept of Communicative English organized a workshop on
Employability Skills at the M.P. Birla Planetarium Seminar Hall. The focus areas of the
workshop were to provide a first-hand exposure to the demands of the job market, and to
prepare them in interview and presentation skills. On 12 th March 2014, a Workshop on SelfEmployment, also organized by the Dept of Communicative English, was held in the

the Dignity Foundation, Kolkata Chapter. The students who attended the seminar were
encouraged to become involved in providing assistance to our aged citizens.
1.3.5. Citing a few examples to enumerate on the extent of use of the feedback from
stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?
A compulsory feedback system is in place whereby the students of the Third year are
required to assess the teachers and the infrastructural facilities offered by the college. This
feedback is taken into account while policy decisions are made in the various committees.
1.3.6. How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its enrichment
programmes? Not applicable
1.4 Feedback System
1.4.1. What are the contributions of the institution in the design and development of
the Curriculum prepared by the University?
Being an affiliate of the University of Calcutta, there is very little scope for innovation in the

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and
student profile annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and how has it
contributed to the improvement of the process?
Mechanism to review the admission process and student profile:
In the Academic Committee Meeting held prior to the admissions each year the Heads of the
Departments evaluate the admission process followed in the previous year with special
reference to the profile of students admitted to their departments. The institution has a welldefined mechanism-of reviewing the students’ profiles. The admission committee reviews
the profiles of students selected for admission and chalks out a comparative summary of the
selected candidates. A record of their performance in all fields, academic as well as extracurricular, as maintained by the college, is taken into account. On the basis of the
suggestions of the HODs, and an in-depth study of the student profiles, necessary changes in
the cut-off percentages and overall admission policy for the current year are introduced. The
college has moved from a somewhat tedious manual system of admission to a partly-online,
efficient and student-friendly one. The college is currently preparing itself to implement the
central online admission procedure to be introduced by the University this year.
Outcome: As a result of this process the college has observed a sharp rise in the quality of
students admitted, lower drop-out rates, and optimum filling up of seats.
2.1.5. Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for following
categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of the institution and its
student profiles demonstrate/reflect the National commitment to diversity and
inclusion
•
SC/ST/ OBC:
Students from SC/ST and other backward classes are allotted seats as per roster system of
the state policy. Fees exemption and endowment benefits are also extended to these students
if economically challenged. The college makes tireless efforts to create awareness on the
importance of higher studies i.e., education as a means of socio-economic change and
empowerment. Provisions of UGC order policy of constitutionally guaranteed merit cum
reservation at the time of admission is strictly adhered to. The college makes sure that such
students have adequate access to financial and academic facilities of the college and
incentives for the marginalized students are also categorically framed.
•
Women:
This institution is a women’s college and believes in empowerment of women through
education.
•
Differently able:
Our college provides reservation benefit to the students belonging to differently-able
categories as per UGC notification. Within our limited resources special attention is paid to
fulfilling their needs. A ramp is being constructed and an elevator being installed in the
annexe building.
•
Economically weaker sections:
Students from economically weaker sections apply for and obtain free studentship. 517
students have been granted free studentship in the 2012-13 session. The college has
provision to grant up to 30% free studentship.
•
Minority community:
As per the directions of the Central Government, State Government and its affiliating
University, this institution offers every possible help to the students belonging to the
minority community. This is reflected in the encouraging representation of the community,
particularly Muslims in all UG Honours and General courses. The students from this
category also get scholarships and stipends.
•
Any other:
The college boasts of excellent performance by students in the field of sports like cricket,
kabaddi, athletics etc. Due representation is given to this category in admission based upon
their excellence in athletics or sports activities at University/Regional/Zonal/State/National
level. The college offers them concession and scholarships besides granting special leave for
their practice and participation in competitions. The college arranges for special classes and
flexible internal examination dates for them to help them complete the syllabus.
2.1.6. Provide the following details for various programmes offered by the institution
during the last four years and comment on the trends i.e. reasons for increase /
decrease and actions initiated for improvement.

reduction
UG(2013)
There seems to be reduction in the number of applicants in 2012 which is probably due both
to slightly stringent admission norms set in place by the college and the relatively low marks
secured by the students in (10+2) examination.
2.2. Catering to Diverse Needs of Students
2.2.1. How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- able students and
ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?
The institution fully adheres to government policies regarding the needs of differently-able
students. Seats are reserved for them at the time of admission in various programmes. The
college has an elevator in the main building and is constructing a ramp and elevator in the
annexe building. An effort is made to hold the classes. for such students in the ground floor
classrooms to facilitate easy accessibility. During examinations visually challenged students
are provided writers. Adequate help is also provided whenever necessary to students having
functional disability. Special counselling sessions and lectures are also arranged for such
category of students. Such students are also given extra time in college and University
examinations.
2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills
before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process.
The student’s knowledge and skills are assessed by the teachers of the respective
departments at the time of counselling prior to their admission. Students’ responses to the
introductory lectures in the first few weeks of class enable teachers to assess the knowledge
gap of the incoming students. The subsequent class lectures are framed accordingly to help
the students to cope with the programme to which they are enrolled.
2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge the
knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Add-on/Enrichment
Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice?
The progress of the students is systematically and very carefully monitored through their
responses in class both verbal and written. Knowledge gap of particular students has been
reduced by taking remedial classes (especially for SC/ST/OBC students) beyond the college
hours. Tutorial classes are arranged for general and minority students after the college hours.
Knowledge gap is also reduced by interaction with teachers outside the class and frequent
class tests.
Surprise tests are also taken along with the regular periodic tests. These tests have proved to
be extremely successful in helping average students to excel in their examinations.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender,
inclusion, environment etc.?
Being a Women’s college gender sensitization has been our primary concern. A major part
of all activities that are pursued here is aimed at the welfare and up gradation of women. We
believe in instilling in our students a deep sense of respect and empathy towards other
women and the under-privileged sections of society and in creating environmental
awareness. Seminars and workshops addressing Women’s Issues and Environmental
Awareness Programmes are organised to achieve this end.
Strict discipline is maintained on the campus so that the girls feel safe, secure and
comfortable. If any girl faces any problem outside the campus, we seek to help her as far as
possible. Students from broken and disturbed families are offered special counselling.
Environment classes are taken regularly which sensitizes the students to protect the
environment and preserve precious resources and biodiversity. The newly started N.S.S. unit
of this college is planning to start various environme nt related activities.
2.2.5. How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning
needs of advanced learners?
The advanced learners are identified by their (10+2) results and their responses in classes
and class tests. The advanced learners have the access to college internet when they can
consult e-books and subject-related information. They are encouraged to go to the Central
Library where they can read reference books, magazines and newspapers.
They are asked to write and present seminar papers to motivate them towards research. The
college practises peer coaching where the advanced learners, with guidance from a teacher,
help one or more students at the same level to learn a skill or concept.
2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyse and use the data and information on the
academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of
drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged,
slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if
some sort of support is not provided)?
In our college the dropout rate is very low. There is a continual assessment of students
throughout the programme duration. The students’ academic performance is assessed by
their performance in the formative and summative evaluations as well as their involvement
in the class room teaching and activities.
The college tries to stop the drop outs of the talented students in its own capacity. The
Principal and the faculty take personal interest in the problems of students and help to solve
them. The college runs a counselling cell for students. Potential dropouts are identified and
counselled, sometimes along with their parents, so that they can return to their studies with
renewed enthusiasm. Students are encouraged to approach the cell for guidance to meet
challenges and solve the problems faced by them. This also helps in checking the drop out
ratio.
Bilingual method of teaching is adopted and special classes are arranged for weak students
/slow learners. Handouts of simple version are given to them as supplement.
The college has provision to grant up to 30% free studentship to economically challenged
students. In addition, full and half fee-waivers are available through Students’ Aid Fund.
One-time cash awards are given to needy students through endowment funds.
2.3. Teaching-Learning Process
2.3.1. How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and evaluation
schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print, etc.)
The academic calendar is released by the affiliating University and the college holds its
internal examinations (mid-term and selection test) in compliance with this calendar. The
schedule for class tests, tutorials and college examinations is finalised at the beginning of the
academic session.
The college also publishes its own academic calendar wherein the syllabus distribution
among faculty members is outlined. The academic sub-committee of the college finalizes the
Academic Calendar of the college before the commencement of each academic session.
The teachers form their own lesson plans based on their allotted syllabus. The records of
class tests, tutorials and preparatory test are systematically maintained by each department.
The students are given the academic calendar at the time of admission and it is uploaded
regularly on the college website.
2.3.2
How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning process?
Jogamaya Devi College established IQAC on 08.08.2013.
The newly started IQAC provides the quality benchmarks/parameters for the various
academic and administrative activities of the institution. Following are the members of the
IQAC cell:
Mrs. Gargi Nath

The objective of this cell is also to monitor promotion, implementation and continuous
improvement of innovations in curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities of the
institution. The IQAC tries to work towards the enrichment of the students’ knowledge, skill
and personality.
2.3.3 How learning is made more student-centric? Give details on the support
structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive learning,
collaborative learning and independent learning among the students?
To make the learning student-centric the teachers make sincere efforts to present the
prescribed curriculum in ways that suit the average aptitude of each batch of students. While
introducing each new topic, teaching proceeds at a slow pace so as to provide time for
repetition in order to enable better comprehension by students.
Interactive Learning:
Interactive (question-answer) sessions on each and every topic are an integral part of
teaching which helps to make learning student centric. Students are also encouraged to
participate in class room seminars, departmental seminars as well as in student seminars
held in other institutions.
Collaborative Learning:
Group discussion and peer coaching are held regularly in classes for every discipline. The
students also participate in group discussion competitions held in the college and other
institutions. Students are also advised to discuss among themselves the topics they are taught
in class.
Independent learning:
Independent learning is another way of learning, where the students can independently
prepare the lessons with clear understanding. Independent learning includes a variety of
practices that enables students to formulate problems, find answers through systematic
procedures of reference work, hypothesizing, experimenting, field work, day-to-day
experience etc. and evaluate one’s progress and achievement. Independent learning
generally takes up some of the following forms -assignment work, laboratory work,
reference reading in library and through internet, programmed learning, mastery learning,
learning through audio-visual aids such as films, filmstrips, slides, cassettes, tape recorders
television etc.
2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific
temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and innovators?
The college innovates many interesting methods to develop critical thinking and creativity
of the students through quiz, debate, elocution competition, creative writing, extra-curricular
activities, group discussion etc. The students are also encouraged to participate in various
intra and inter-college competitions. They have also excelled in inter-college cultural, drama
and sports competition. Ours being a U.G. college, it is difficult to assist the students in
research directly. But we believe in the motto that “Every teacher is a researcher” and we
encourage the students to solve various social problems by developing survey-based
projects. The University of Calcutta has introduced a term paper (project based) recently in
certain subjects like B.Com. (H), Economics (H), Sociology (H) and Environmental Studies.
Guided by their teachers, the students select a topic related to current and local problems on
which they are required to -write a project/research paper. This helps the students to develop
a scientific temper.
2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty for
effective teaching? E.g. Virtual laboratories, e-learning - resources from National
Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on
Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), open
educational resources, mobile education, etc.
In order to ensure that the students have effective learning experiences, the faculty uses
multimedia projectors, computers (Power-point), television, DVD, tape recorders, LCD
projector etc. Internet enabled computer systems are used in some subjects (viz Geology
etc). The students are also encouraged to use computer software packages (viz Geography,
Psychology, etc) for meaningful analyses of the experimental data collected by them. The
institution has also introduced a course in PC application for all students as it feels that basic
computer literacy is very essential for students to have effective learning experiences.
2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of knowledge and
skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars, workshops etc.)?
The faculties believe in the motto “A teacher’s foremost responsibility is to create an urge in
the students to learn more.” To ensure that, special lectures and seminars by experts on
various contemporary issues like global warming, wild life protection, emerging trends in
science and technology, gender issues, human rights etc. are organised in which teachers and
students are encouraged to participate. The faculty constantly update themselves by
attending refresher courses, orientation programmes, and faculty up gradation programmes
and communicate the recent developments in their respective subjects to their students.
Educational tours are also conducted. Over the years the teachers of various departments
have been participating in conferences, work-shops and presenting national and international
seminars. The students are also involved in inter-college seminars/conferences/work-shops
etc.
2.3.7 Detail (process and the number of students\ benefitted) on the academic,
personal and psycho-social support and guidance services (professional
counselling/mentoring/academic advise) provided to students?
Jogamaya Devi College has a Students Welfare Cell which provides academic and
psychological counselling to the students, whenever needed. The teachers of the cell give
due attention to their needs and problems and try their utmost to solve their problems.As a
deep and healthy bonding develops between teachers and students within a department, the
students routinely approach the Head or other faculty members of their departments for
support and guidance on various matters. The teachers counsel the students individually or
in small groups on academic matters like subject change options, opportunities for higher
studies in their fields and means of improvement of academic performance. They also
provide psycho-social support to students of disturbed family backgrounds. Such intradepartmental counselling is often carried out after college hours. This form of counselling
has proved to be extremely effective and is seen to bring about a positive turn-around in the
academic performance and social adaptability of the students.
2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by the
faculty during the last four years. What are the efforts made by the institution to

innovative practices on student learning?
The college always encourages teachers to keep themselves abreast of the latest
development in their respective fields. They are encouraged to use computers, internet and
library resources to enrich their teaching. The college faculty is also provided training for
use of computers and the latest software so that they themselves can develop modern
teaching aids to be used in the classroom.
From time to time the college teachers attend and participate in seminars, conferences and
special lecture programmes. The faculty members are also encouraged to participate in
National and International Seminars. They are provided duty leave and financial assistance
for this purpose. The faculty members who attend such seminars/conferences share their
experience with students and faculty with latest information and developments.
2.3.9
How are library resources used to augment the teaching- learning process?
The institution has a well equipped central library (60,000 books and 11750 Journals) with
computer facilities. In addition to this there is a Text Book Library at 77; Asutosh
Mukherjee Road contains more than 7400 text books. The Common Room Library has
approximately 1200 story books.
All the departments maintain well-stocked departmental seminar libraries for honours
students to facilitate in-depth study of the respective subject.
Additional reading habit is cultivated in students by suggesting reference books to complete
their assignment and project work. Faculties also use the library resources to intensify their
knowledge in subjects and also regarding the latest developments.
The department libraries (seminar libraries) are constantly used by the faculty and students
for the enhancement of teaching and learning. Lending facilities are available at the
departmental libraries. The teacher who is in charge of each departmental library allots one
period per week for distributing books to students, according to their needs.
The books are regularly purchased both in Central Library and departmental libraries.
During syllabus changes, new text books and related references are bought immediately to
cater to the needs of the students as well as faculty.
2.3.10. Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within
the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the challenges encountered
and the institutional approaches to overcome these.
Yes, we face some challenges to complete the syllabus within the stipulated time period.
The reasons are –Irregularity of the students due to seasonal variation, jobs, and
simultaneous studies.
•
The college being the Centre of all University Examinations (Part-I + Part-II
+ Part-III Honours and General)
•
Insufficient faculty in some departments.
•
Additional pressure of the teachers (like organising examinations as head
examiners/external/internal, evaluation and scrutiny of papers, invigilation of examination
etc.) sometimes makes the task of completing the syllabus within the allotted time very
difficult.
To meet the challenges the college takes the following steps•
During college and University examinations, the respective faculties arrange
for special classes.
•
The guest lecturers have been appointed in the departments which are
suffering from staff shortage.
•
The extra classes are taken throughout the year to complete the syllabus
effectively as well as to meet the extra needs of the students.
•
The faculties have tackled the extra workload with smiling face and complete
all responsibilities efficiently.
2.3.11. How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?
The college has established the IQAC on 08.08.2013. The primary objective of the IQAC is
to monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching- learning. In addition the quality of teaching
is also monitored by getting feedback from the third year outgoing students.
The institute provides facility of computers, laptops, internet, library, projectors etc. to
facilitate the teaching-learning process. The teachers are also trained from time to time to
update themselves regarding the use of technology. Teachers are also permitted to attend
seminars/workshops organised by other colleges on IT awareness and efficient use and
implementation of computer knowledge into teaching learning act.
The quality of learning is also maintained through involvement in class-room teaching. The
faculties use interactive sessions, group-discussion, seminars, class tests and tutorials etc.
The students encouraged to ask any questions to the teachers both inside and outside the
classroom.
From the results of college and university examinations, and the subsequent absorption of
our students into institutes of higher studies or other professions, the quality of our existing
teaching-learning process is evaluated. On the basis of this assessment necessary changes
are introduced in the teaching learning process.

experience in other national institutions and specialized programs, industrial
engagement etc.)
The management does not have any official programs / policies for teacher’s development.
However, it motivates the faculties constantly to take up individual initiatives.
 Research grants: The management does not extend research grants to the faculty. The
organizations like UGC/ DST are providing research grants.
 Study leave: Study leave is permissible as per university statutes.
 Support for research and academic publications: The College authority is directly not
able to support for research and publications but it constantly encourages the stake
holders. The authority sanctions study leaves, gives permission to attend FIP and
also grants duty leave for the teachers to attend national and international
seminars/workshops to build up their research skills.

Teaching experience in other institutions: Some faculty members regularly teach in
other institutions. Most of the teachers are associated with the teaching in Master
degree courses (M.Com, M.Sc and M.A.) in Vidyasagar University (distance
learning run by Jogamaya Devi College). Few of teachers are involved in teaching at
different institutions under WB University of Technology, WB State University,
Barasat, and other universities.

teaching. However, the college authority provides continuous encouragement and
administrative support to the faculty to excel in teaching and improv e their teaching skills by
giving permission to teach as visiting faculty in and around the country.
2.4.6. Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external
peers? If yes how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the
teaching/learning process?
Yes, the institution has an evaluation system in place. In each year the third year honours
students respond to questionnaires to assess their departmental teachers and the college
preserving the anonymity of the students.
The data is analyzed and shared with the faculty members for their improvement. Teachers
benefit through such assessments as they use them to rectify their shortcomings and build
upon their strengths. Moreover, the institution provides all the required facilities to its staff
to improve their knowledge and skill.
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?
There is a comprehensive evaluation process generally introduced by the University of
Calcutta. A meeting of the Academic sub-committee is generally held before the start of the
session where the decisions regarding examination and evaluation are taken on the basis of
the outlines given by the affiliating university. The evaluation methods are communicated to
the students and faculty at the beginning of the academic session. The college provides
information to the students about the schedule of the examinations and methods of
evaluation through the prospectus and academic calendar. Teachers in their introductory
classes also communicate to the students the system of evaluation consisting of tutorials,
mid-term test and selection test at the college level and the annual system of university
examination (Part-I, Part-II and Part-III at the end of 1 st, 2nd and 3rd year respectively).
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?
The University of Calcutta to which the college is affiliated has introduced some major
evaluation reforms in the examination system from 2006 onwards. The B.A., B. Sc., B.
Com. (1+1+1) system has been introduced. The students appear for the University
Examination Part I/II/III at the end of the first, second and third year respectively. The
syllabus of the subjects was last changed in 2010. The marking pattern of question papers
also involves substantial changes which are done in favour of short questions. The 100
marks Honours papers of some departments have been divided into two 50 marks papers.
Now the honours students have to appear for a two hour 50 marks paper in each day instead
of a 4 hour 100 marks paper. All these reforms have been welcomed by teachers and
students alike as they are aimed at reducing examination stress.
The institution has adopted various reforms concerning evaluation.






Same pattern of question papers (like University examinations) are used in-house
examinations.
Class tests and tutorials are conducted to evaluate the performance of students.
Group discussion and class room seminars are organized to improve the
understanding of basic concepts and presentation skills of the students and to
broaden their conception of the subject.
Interactive sessions are held in class room through teacher-student discussion on the
topics taught.
In some cases, peer tutoring is undertaken in which a student, with guidance from a
teacher, helps one or more students at the same level to learn a skill or concept.
Project based learning activities create opportunities for students to work on
problems in the real world.
2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation
reforms of the University and those initiated by the institution?
The College follows the direction of the University in the implementation of these reforms.
Class tests, mid-term tests and selection tests for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years are held as per the
circular issued by the University. The students are sent up for the University examination on
the basis of their performance in these tests.
The reforms initiated by the college in teaching-learning and evaluation process are duly
followed by all the departments.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adapted
to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted
the system.
The institution adopts both formative and summative methods of evolution. Formative
approach involves measuring the students’ learning through verbal skills, group discussions,
seminars and class tests. The evaluation through these methods gives the teacher a direction
to guide his/her students taking into consideration their level of understanding. The
summative evaluation is done during the terminal (selection) test examinations.
The answer sheets of the students with good score are discussed and shown in the classes to
the other students so that they get motivated to perform better next time. The students who
get the maximum marks in each subjects and overall aggregate in the university examination
(in B.A., B.Sc. and B.Com.) are awarded prizes in the Annual Prize Distribution Function of
the college. This serves as an incentive for better academic performance. The weak students
are given special care through special classes within the college hours and remedial classes
beyond the college hours to enable them to perform better in college and university
examinations.
2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency
in the internal assessment during the last four years and the weight age assigned for
the overall development of the students (weight age for behavioral aspects,
independent learning, communication skill etc.)
Jogamaya Devi College maintains complete transparency in the internal assessment. The
criteria adopted are as directed by the University. The internal assessment is made by the
faculty members keeping in mind the following aspects of students’ performance during the
academic year:
1) Class attendance
2) Class performance
3) Performances in mid-term and test examinations
4) Extra-curricular activities.
In spite of the above mentioned aspects of the students, their behavior in and outside the
classes, extent of independent learning and communication are also given due weight age in
the time of internal assessment.
2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/affiliated university?
How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?
The college believes in empowerment of women through education. Hence the college
aspires to have a transformational impact on students through comprehensive education by
inculcating qualities of competence, confidence and excellence.
The college has specified its graduate attributes clearly.
 The college aims to make its student employable.
 The college endeavors that its students should become valuable global citizens.

To make the students academically sound and globally competitive.
The college ensures that by the time the student finishes her education in the college, she
attains all these specified attributes. The teachers of the college work rigorously throughout
the academic year to enable the students imbibe the valuable lessons by way of seminars,
moral lectures, presentations and field work. The faculty sensitizes students towards
inclusive social concerns, human rights, gender and environmental issues (through
workshops, seminars, lectures etc.) to make them sensitive, sensible, useful and
conscientious global citizens.
2.5.7. What are the mechanisms for redress of grievances with reference to evaluation
both at the college and university level?
Generally the methods of evaluation used in the college are very transparent and do not give
scope for any kind of grievances in the students. The assessment by the teachers is just and
fair. Even if there is slightest doubt expressed by any student it is immediately cleared
through discussions. Similar discussions are also held with the parents in case of any
grievances voiced by them with respect to the evaluation of their ward’s performance.
For university examinations, the students can apply for review of their papers if they are not
satisfied with their marks. Under the RTI act they can also apply for Photostat copies of
their answer sheets. To do this, the students have to fill an application form within the
stipulated time period prescribed by the university.
2.6. Student performance and learning outcome
2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If “Yes” give details on
how the students and staff are made aware of these?

years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across the
programmes/ courses offered.
The institution continuously monitors the performance of the students in college and
University examinations. To improve the progress and performance, the college tries to
develop innovative methods to make teaching-learning more interesting. The teachers of all
departments take extra classes outside the routine classes and also remedial classes beyond
college hours. In addition to that the teachers check the answers written by students on each
chapter of their syllabus. This helps
The students to formulate the precise and correct answer which help them to get higher
marks in the college and university examination.
2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution
structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning process?
The college has 18 honours departments – Bengali, History, English, Political Science,
Philosophy, Sanskrit, Communicative English (major), Psychology (B.A. /B.Sc.),
Commerce, Economics, Geology, Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Geography, and Sociology. Statistics, Hindi and Education are also taught as general
subjects. Among those, Communicative English as Major is a self -financed course.

The lecture method of teaching is followed in all the departments but it is
supplemented by other innovative and modern teaching methods. The conventional
chalk and blackboard system is extensively used by all the departments. In addition
to that some departments use OHP and power point presentation in order to make the
teaching learning more interesting.

Classroom debates and quiz methods are used in many departments. Group
discussion and interactive sessions are organized to make the students to express
their ideas fluently.

External resource persons are invited to the institution to deliver lectures and
enlighten the students on all possible subjects.

The introduction of term papers in Economics and Commerce has infused a new
approach to acquire the research skills by the students.
By all these methods, the institution takes the initiative to make the curriculum, teaching,
learning and assessment student-centric. The college has formulated academic committee
and IQAC that aim at enhancing the quality of learning, teaching and assessment by
providing academic leadership for the continued development of excellence in academic
practice. The college is committed in creating an environment of inclusive learning.
2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social
and economic relevance (student placements, entrepreneurship, innovation and
research aptitude, development among students etc.) of the courses offered?
Jogamaya Devi College deeply acknowledges its social and economic responsibility. The
institution at the time of admission provides counseling on course options. They are
informed by the teachers regarding the future prospects of various options. Moreover, they
are sensitized on the social responsibilities through various programs organized by N.C.C.
and N.S.S. Some industrial institutions (viz. Wipro, Infosys) regularly visit the college for
campus interview. Some students have got jobs in these institutions. The college has made
dedicated efforts to impart quality education and generate new knowledge through research
and development activities.
The college conducts a program on soft skill development to make the students competent in
the job market. Besides, the college regularly organizes workshops and seminars for the
students to enhance their research aptitude as well as their responsibility to the society. A
compulsory computer education program is run by the college for 1st year students which
help them to acquire the basic computer knowledge that is required to find a job now -a-days.
2.6.5. How the institution collects and analyzes data on student performance and
learning outcomes and uses it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?
A student’s progress is measured by two factors:
i)
Regularity
ii)
Performance in the examination
The college is very strict regarding the student’s attendance in the class. According to
Calcutta University’s rule, no student is allowed to sit for the University examinations
unless University criteria are fulfilled.
The college authority collects the performance report of all students in their internal and
University examinations. These data of students’ results are referred to the Academic subcommittee and IQAC who take the necessary actions to improve the academic atmosphere
of the college and the quality of result of the students.
2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning
outcomes?
The institution has a clearly defined mechanism to monitor the learning outcomes. The
performance of the student in class and examinations indicate to what extent learning
outcomes are achieved. Attendance is compulsorily taken in every class. Based on the
participation in the class and marks scored in the class tests, tutorials and mid-term and Test
examinations, the students’ level is judged by the faculty and appropriate action is taken
under the guidance of Academic sub-committee and the IQAC.
Extra classes and remedial classes are taken for slow learners. Parents of such students are
called to meet their respective faculty members, if required. The faculty members
continuously conduct surprise tests, quizzes, debates, group discussions etc. to monitor the
academic progress of each student.
2.6.7. Do the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation outcomes as
an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives
and planning? If ‘yes’ provide details on the process and cite a few examples.
The teachers of the respective departments closely monitor the performance of the students
in class interactions and examinations and thereby identify the advanced and slow learners.
The advanced learners are given special care (through home-work, tutorials, class tests,
special classes) to help them to enhance their knowledge and excel in the university
examinations. On the other hand, the slow learners are also given special care to improve
their skills by taking extra classes and remedial classes beyond the college hours. The
teachers offer every help that the students require to comprehend their respective subjects
and to prepare for the examination. Audio-visual aids and web information are linked
through departmental WI-FI. E-books/Seminar books are distributed to equip individual
students with available database.
CRITERION III: RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND
EXTENSION
3.1. Promotion of Research:
3.1.1. Does the institution have recognized research center/s of the affiliating University
or any other agency/organization?
At present institution does not have any recognized research centre affiliated to the
university. This is primarily due to space shortage and structural bottlenecks. So far, our
College faculties have engaged themselves in collaborative research with prestigious
National and International Institutes like Calcutta University, Jadavpur University,
Presidency University, University of California Riverside, Stockholm Environment Institute
(Davis, California); Kansas University (Kansas, USA), Lund University, Sweden. The
college has always encouraged these extensive research collaborations.
To overcome space constraint, college has started building an annexed structure with a unit
dedicated to faculty research programs.
3.1.2 Does the Institution have a research committee to monitor and address the
issues of Research? If so, what is its composition? Mention a few recommendations
made by the Committee for implementation and their impact.
The institution has an in-house research committee, endorsed by IQAC. It is constituted by
eleven members from arts, science and commerce faculties. The members of the research
committee are –
Dr. Lekha Mukhopadhyay of Department of Economics (Convener),
Dr. Abhijit Chakraborty of Department of Geology,
Dr. Anita Ghosh of Department of Psychology,
Dr. Ballari Chakraborty of Department of Physics,
Sri Bhaskar Ghosh of Department of Geology,
Dr. Paramita Bandopadhyay of Department of Bengali,
Sri Santosh Das of Department of Commerce,
Dr. Shila Neogi of Department of English
Sri Sudip Das of Department of Mathematics,
Dr. Sushovan Bera of Department of Botany,
Dr. Ujjwal Mandal of Department of Chemistry
It actively looks into multi faceted issues with a focus on capacity building in terms of
research and imbibing research culture and scientific temperament among faculties and
students of the college.
The committee coordinates interaction between the research funding agencies like UGC/
DST and faculty members who apply for research grant.
The Committee monitors the progress of research work, and tries to resolve any difficulties
faced in the course of carrying research projects hosted by the college.
In order to promote the research environment in the college a set of proposals and
recommendations have been made. They are :
Creating a research blog in the college web site and E-group.
Approaching the Governing Body of the college through IQAC regarding the issue
of clearance certificate from Home Ministry, Government of India for receiving foreign
research grant.
Organizing dissemination lectures on the research work by the college faculties in
the college premises every month.Building up a “Digital Commons” to digitally archive the
brief reports of the research works of the faculties and the extracts of invited lectures
delivered by the eminent scholars in the college.
Publishing an e-journal yearly by the college.
Committee members have been assigned specific department-wise responsibilities to
maintain liaison with faculty members (Table 1) so that they may contribute through
dissemination of their research work in a common forum and, in turn, get benefitted from
interactions with their peers. We are also hopeful of conducting interdisciplinary research
projects in the near future, leveraging in-house collaboration.

in conference/ workshop etc is granted.
3.1.4. What are the efforts made by the institution in developing scientific temper and
research culture and aptitude among students?
Steps have been taken to inculcate research motivation to all our students. They are trained
with basic approaches of nature studies-acquisition of primary data, data processing,
documentation and analysis. They have to submit individual project reports based on
primary guidance imparted to them by our faculties involved in Environmental Studies
(strictly adhering to UGC guidelines). The students are also encouraged to develop research
attitude and aptitude beyond the curriculum projects. They are encouraged to undertake cocurricular research projects, organize and participate in inter college competitions on paper
presentation, quiz, debate, group discussion and workshop. Teachers in such cases act as

Easy access to the books and journals in the central and departmental Libraries also helps
students to learn new things and nurture scientific temper. Restricted access to WIFI has
been provided for students so far, in some departments (Geology, Physics and Botany). The
facility would be extended for all interested students in a phased manner, so that they can
access internet on shared basis. E-books and free downloads of available study materials are
also provided, as far as practicable. Students are encouraged to participate in classroom
group discussions, seminars, competitions. This helps to enhance research culture and
aptitude among students. Laboratories in the departments enable the students to learn and
practice various research activities.

CRITERION IV: INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING
RESOURCES
4.1. PHYSICAL FACILITIES
4.1.1. What is the policy of the institution for creation and enhancement of
infrastructure that facilitate effective teaching and learning?

The Policy of the institution for creation and enhancement of infrastructure is
primarily need-based and depends on the availability of funds from state/UGC/MP Lad or
other sources. The development fee is low to keep the cost of the education minimum. This
is to ensure that larger number of economically challenged students may access higher
education.
The college administration takes care of optimum use of available facilities and is always
eager to enhance the teaching-learning environment. The academic committee examines and
assesses the demand of emerging areas of study and recommends the same. The Head of the
institution then proposes the same to Governing Body (GB), the policy making body of the
college, for consideration and necessary approval. Academic committee also suggests
necessary changes required to incorporate technology-enabled effective teaching and
learning procedures. To implement such changes, renovation of existing infrastructure or
enhancement by creating new structures, if necessary, are then placed in the building and
finance committees. Resolution of all the committee are then referred to GB for
consideration.
Departmental requirements of equipment or other learning aids are placed before the college
administration. In academic interest of the college, the materials are purchased and all
documents relating to purchase are placed before the finance committee for final payment.
In case of excess of budgetary position the same is reported to GB. Departments are
primarily responsible for ensuring optimal utilization of the physical infrastructure.
However the main building at 92 S.P. Mukherjee Road is shared by three colleges and hence
any infrastructural change is discussed and approved by the co-ordination committee. It is a
statutory committee comprising the Principals of the THREE COLLEGES, one member
from the teaching faculty and one member from the non-teaching community of each of the
three colleges. Principal of Asutosh College is the convener of the committee.

we have it in our disposal from 6.15 AM to 11.25 AM (College hours). However the whole
or part of it is requisitioned with prior intimation to hold the university examinations. No
better optimal utilization can be thought of for a physical infrastructure. The co-ordination
committee, which comprises members from all the three colleges, has taken extensive
renovation work with proper care for the maintenance of the heritage building. Some
extension work has also been undertaken. The lift has been erected from 1 st floor to 4 th
floor. Ground floor work could not be executed on account of engineering difficulty. The
4th floor has been added in the main building which has created 3 more lecture rooms for
common use.
A new block has been constructed in the main building which houses an additional
teacher’s room, reading room, 2 medium sized and one small sized i.e. total three lecture
rooms and additional laboratory space.
All old toilets have been extensively renovated and 2 more toilets have been added at

4.3.2. Detail on the computer and internet facility made available to the faculty and
students on the campus and off –campus?
There is a computer laboratory containing computers of latest configuration.
Most of the computers have LAN and WIFI connectivity. Departments having computer
application as a part of the curriculum have their own computers. Departments are provided
with laptops, with internet facilities for faculty.
Automation of library is in under process. No off campus facility is set up yet.
4.3.3. What are the institutional plans and strategies for deploying and upgrading the
IT infrastructure and associated facilities?
With increase in student-strength and inclusion of computer application in curriculum of
different subjects, the need for more computers has been ever-increasing. The requirement is
assessed on yearly basis and arrangement is made for new procurement.
Rapid development in IT sector also leads to compatibility issues regarding new software
and up gradation remains a continuous process at definite intervals.
4.3.4. Provide details on the provision made in the annual budget for procurement, up
gradation, deployment and maintenance of the computers and their accessories in the
institution (year wise for last four years).
We have provisions in the annual budget for the procurement, up gradation and maintenance
of the computers and their accessories. The budgets of recent years express provisions in
these categories separately but previously it was integrated in one category only. The college
has an aim to make optimum use of information and communication technology in both
academic and administrative work.
The college has annual maintenance contract with the suppliers for all its equipments.
4.3.5. How does the institution facilitate extensive use of ICT resources including
development and use of computer aided teaching/learning materials by its staff and
student?
The college authority is aware of the need of computerization at all levels of academic and
administrative work.
The teachers, staff and students of the college are provided with the facility by the college to
have basic and advanced knowledge of computer application at the Jogamaya Devi College
Computer Center at concessional rate which runs in collaboration with the Institute of
Computer Engineers (India).
The college also imparts a compulsory computer literacy program for all the students at
computer laboratory.
4.3.6. Elaborate giving suitable examples on how the learning activities and
technologies deployed (access to online teaching-learning resources, independent
learning, ICT enabled classrooms/ learning spaces etc.) by the institution place the
student at the center of teaching-learning process and render the roll of the facilitator
for the teacher.
Parallel to the traditional method of teaching with chalk and black board, audio visual modes
of teaching are being adopted by many departments. There are three classrooms equipped
with LCD projector. There are seven additional LCDs that can be used as and when required
and can be requisitioned for departmental use.
Visual training aids with OHP are in use for a long time.
To enrich the learning experience of the student computer aided teaching/learning materials
are being encouraged.
The curriculum of some departments makes extensive & compulsory use of computer
applications and some specific software.
The website of the college provides all relevant information. This becomes very helpful for
outstation students especially during admission procedure. The college is adopting online
admission from 2014-2015 sessions.
Institutional functioning and management becomes effective with application of technology
at different academic and administrative levels. This leads to transparency and effective
governance. Installation of LAN and WIFI facility provides fast flow of data across
computers.
Internet connection in the computer laboratory and all the departmental laptops help the
faculty to browse and download study materials. Power point presentation by faculty
improves the quality of the classroom lectures and influences students towards academic and
research.
Automation at administrative office gives quick reference to various data like, student
record, results, accounts etc. This has a positive impact on the governance and
administration of the college.
The automation of general library is under process and on completion will provide with eresources and reprographic facilities too.
Some of the departments use specific software as required by the curriculum.
Although ICT is preferred by new recruits the older staff is yet to cope up with the change of
the scenario. Conscious effort is being made to give them opportunity for training and
development and offer them proper orientation to accept the change.

to provide coaching to students for appearing in examinations such as UGC-CSIR-NET,
UGC-NET, SLET, ATE/ CAT / GRE/ TOFEL / GMAT/ Central/ State services, Defence,

5.1.8What type of counselling services are made to the students (academic, personal,

The faculty whole-heartedly participate in academic and personal counselling of the
students. Counselling starts at the time of the admission in first year. Teachers meet the
candidates seeking admission to the institution in order to test their aptitude for the subject
of their choice and also guide them to choose appropriate elective subjects with each
Honours and Major subject. Throughout the academic session, the faculty provides
academic and personal counselling services to the students according to their individual
needs. This is a routine affair in this institution and hence no detail record on academic and

grievances, if any, and immediate action is taken thereof. If needed, proper counselling is

case of sexual harassment has been so far reported.

Comparison of student’s performance with other colleges is difficult to assess as the
performance data of other colleges are not publicly available. We have provided year- wise
success rate of our students for kind perusal.
5.2.3How does the institution facilitate student progression to higher level of education
and / or towards employment?
Teachers of the respective departments constantly motivate the outgoing students for higher
studies and help them to explore admission opportunities in different Universities within and
outside the state. Some students get jobs in different reputed concerns (viz, Wipro) in the
campus interview for the last four years. To enhance the basic computer skill which is very
much required in the job market, the Jogamaya Devi College provides- i) compulsory
computer literacy to every first year honours and general students at nominal fees and ii)
computer training in advance courses at subsidised rate in collaboration with The Institute of
Computer Engineers(India).
5.2.4. Enumerate the special support provided to students who are at risk of failure
and drop out?
In this case, the first and foremost task is to find out the reasons for failure and drop out. If
the problem seems to be economical then the student concerned is granted free studentship
or half-free studentship. Again the teachers are also extending their helping hands in such
occasions.
If the students face some family related and personal problems that induce them to
discontinue their studies, psychological counselling is provided to them by the concerned
cell. Often parents are also counselled in this regards, if required.
Some students are forced to take jobs in order to help their families. In such cases the
teachers help them personally by taking extra classes at students’ affordable time and by
providing notes.
5.3. Student Participation and Activities

The college seeks feedback from its outgoing third year students with at least

Institutional Vision and leadership

mission statement defines the institution’s distinctive characteristics in terms of
addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, institution’s traditions
and value orientations, vision for the future, etc?

Vision:
We had begun by stating the vision of our institution at the outset. However, to be specific,
we need to emphasise further that our college, being situated in the heart of South Calcutta
caters to the need of all students in the vicinity as well as the students who come from
distant places from all over India. As the adage goes, if a man is educated then just one
individual is educated. But when a woman is educated, a whole family is educated. Hence to
educate women is one of the most important goals of the society. It must be stressed that our
esteemed college is the first women’s college in West Bengal to run all the three streams of
Science, Arts and Commerce. Finally, it is the dissemination of proper education and
Women empowerment that is the supreme vision of our college.
Swami Vivekananda’s vision of women education, in this context, is worth mentioning. He
maintains that it would be a great folly to solve the problems of women. He warned us not
that it would be a Himalayan task. The best way to solve the problems of women is to
educate them. If proper light of education is imparted to them then they will be able to solve
their problems very efficiently and successfully.

Mission:
However, lofty the vision is, to implement the vision into reality we must proceed through
some practical missions. Think globally, but act locally-goes the age-old wisdom. So, let us
concentrate on the following practical salient features of our mission.

A chariot moves on two wheels. The chariot of society moves on two wheels towards
progress and development-- one wheel is man and another wheel is woman. Since
our college is a women’s college, we first look forward to the women empowerment
through education. This is the distinctive characteristic of the mission of our college.

Man-making education is our prime motto. So, we try to impart best of education to

CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS & BEST PRACTICES
7.1. Environment Consequences
7.1.1. Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and facilities?
There is no formal mechanism for Green Audit in the college. However, the Institution takes
all possible steps to make the campus eco-friendly. The use of plastic bags is avoided in the
campus. The entire campus is a no-smoking zone. All rough work is carried out in used
stationery.
7.1.2. What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco -friendly?
Energy Conservation:
The college class rooms are naturally well lighted and ventilated and rarely require
electric light. The departments take care to see that no electrical equipment or gas runs
unnecessarily. The College instills a spirit of energy saving in all stakeholders, particularly
among the students.
Effort for carbon neutrality:
The College in its own capacity has taken measures to check the emission of carbon
dioxide. The use of coal as fuel in the canteen has been banned and replaced by gas. We are
now aware of carbon-credits and are replacing all incandescent bulbs with tube lights and
CFLs. Air conditioners and other cooling machines are installed and are used as and when
absolutely necessary (e.g., maintenance of computers, preservation of degradable animal/a
biogenic samples).
Plantation:
There is no open space to maintain greenery but we have placed potted plants in the
stair cases and corridors, utilising the limited space that is available. The N.C.C. and N.S.S.
constantly encourage and enlighten students about the benefits of afford station. The same
initiative is taken by our Sociology and Geography Departments when they visit villages and
settlements for social and demographic survey.
Hazardous and e-waste management:
Waste chemicals in the Chemistry laboratories are properly disposed by dissolving
them in water or by keeping them separately in protected sheets. The laboratories are fitted
with fume cupboards and exhaust fans to control spread of gas fumes. In a further step
towards this direction, the current chemistry practical syllabus has reduced the use of toxic
chemicals and solvents. All e-waste is handed over to the companies engaged in recycling
of e-waste.
Other Activities:







Environmental Studies have become a compulsory part of the curriculum. The
theoretical classes and field trips held as part of this course help to generate
awareness of environmental issues among the students.
All third year (honours and general) students have to submit one project paper on a
topic relating to environment. This provides them with a valuable first- hand
exposure to environmental issues.
The College organizes seminars and lectures on contemporary environmental issues.
The Science Club holds debates, talks and quiz on different issues regarding
environment.
Students have participated in poster presentation on water harvesting in association
with NGOs.
Students actively participate in public health programmes like polio awareness
programme in collaboration with NGOs.
Thalassemia awareness and screening programmes have been selected as thrust areas
for 2014.
7.2. Innovations
7.2.1. Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have
created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

College Website: All relevant information is available on the college website. It has
helped the outstation students especially during admission.

Computerization of the administrative work: This has helped to optimize the use of
man power. All relevant documents can be preserved and tracked readily.

Feedback system: Feedback on the college, departments and the performance of
teachers is taken from regular third year outgoing honours students having at least
50% attendance. Analysis of data is used for improvement as well as encouragement.
This helps to understand both the strengths and the weaknesses of the faculty.

ICT enabled teaching and learning: A student-friendly curriculum delivery is ensured
through the adoption of modern trends in teaching-learning process using computers
and audio-visual aids parallel to the classical system of lecturing using chalk and
board method. For this, the departments are provided with desktop and laptop
computers with internet facilities. Some departments use specific software as
required by the curriculum.

Inter-departmental exchange of faculties: This practice improves quality of teaching
and allows optimum utilization of in-house expertise, particularly addressing the
interdisciplinary topics introduced in the revised syllabus.

Installation of audio system: All the larger class rooms are equipped with audio
facilities for the benefit of teacher and student alike.

Renovation of infrastructure and computerisation of library and other improvements:
The library has been renovated and reorganised for maximum utilisation of space.
Computerisation of library is under process to ensure computerised transactions and
access to E-journals etc. The automated processing is being carried out using SOUL
-0.2 Software to acquire INFLIBNET facilities. At present we have provision for
inter-library loan facility with American Central Library (USIS) and BCL.

Academic innovations: The College is aware of the emerging areas of study. Due to
the constraint of space and time, it is very difficult to incorporate these new subjects
as full-time courses. Hence such topics are presented to students in the form of short
modules/seminars/workshops. Number of students attending such programmes is
highly satisfactory.
We have introduced soft skill development programmes and workshops on
entrepreneurship management for outgoing students to get them acquainted with the
job market. Some departments of the college organise student seminars to develop
the skill of public speaking and to encourage research abilities.
Students also participate in events like mock parliament.

The College has organized compulsory computer literacy programme within college
hours for the 1 st year students to impart knowledge of basic computer skills.

The College in technical collaboration with the Institute of Computer Engineers
provides facilities of advanced computer courses (beyond college hours) to students
in lieu of nominal fees. The teachers and staff of the college can also enjoy this
facility.

We have career counselling programmes and interested students are sent for summer
projects.
7.3. Best Practices
7.3.1. Elaborate on any two best practices 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: Empowerment of Women through Quality Education.
 Goals
The college engages in women’s empowerment through education practices with the
following objectives:
 To enable students to appreciate and understand the essential role played by women
in society and the work force.

To assess the needs of economically challenged students and first generation learners
and help them to achieve their academic goals.

To understand and address through counseling both academic and psychological
problems faced by the students.

To create a friendly and conducive learning environment for the students.

To provide moral support to students from repressed and emotionally unstable
environments.

To motivate students to perform better through prizes and scholarships .
 The context
We believe that education is the most important tool for women’s empowerment. Educating
a woman is equivalent to educating a family, and consequently the entire nation. Women
have a significant contribution in the present workforce. Even as homemakers, they play an
essential role in educating their children and giving them a firm moral foundation. The
college acknowledges the greater responsibility associated with women’s education and
makes utmost effort not only to create an environment conducive to learning for all the
students, but also to equip them with moral values and skills which will support and sustain
them throughout life. As women from economically weaker sections of the society confront
greater difficulties in pursuing higher education, various supports is extended to them to
realize their potential and fulfill their dream of establishing themselves as valuable members
of society through quality education.
 The Practice
The college takes the following steps towards the empowerment of women:

Our college extends financial support to meritorious but economically disadvantaged
students in the form of tuition fee concessions (full/partial). Although free
studentships are mostly granted on merit-cum-means basis, the conditions are
relaxed for students who do not fulfill the criteria of merit but will be unable to
continue their education without financial aid. The Students’ Union also maintains a
Students’ Aid Fund to render financial assistance to needy students.

Students of the college incapable of paying University examination or excursion fees
but not fulfilling the criteria for free studentship are supported by funds raised from
contributions from teachers. The admission fees for meritorious but economically
disadvantaged students are often paid from these funds. After admission, such
students are immediately recommended for free studentship.

The Students’ Welfare Cell provides support and counselling on academic and
psychological matters. The students are sometimes directed to organizations
providing formal therapeutic help in such cases. They are encouraged to complete
their education and become self-reliant.

Besides this, the students regularly seek personal advice on academic and
psychological matters from the teachers of their departments. The tea chers frequently
remain after college hours to provide such counselling. Such intra-departmental
counselling has proved to be extremely effective in improving the academic
performance as well as the emotional stability of the students.

The college also has a relaxed attendance policy for students who need to work to
support their families. The teachers also lend their maximum support to such
students.

The Students’ Health Home at Jagabandhu Institution, Fern Road, Kol-19, provides a
whole range of medical facilities to our students at subsidised rates on payment of a
fee of Rs. 5/- per session. It organises blood donation, free eye and health check-up
camps and distributes medicines at minimal cost. Each student is also provided with
an accident insurance cover of Rs. 20,000 by United India Insurance Company on
payment of Rs 20/- per year.

The college has a healthy mix of students from all communities and backgrounds
that learn to coexist and work together in harmony. This promotes a sense of national
integrity.

Remedial Coaching and special classes are organized regularly for the benefit of
students from S.C., S.T. and minority communities and first generation learners.

The N.C.C. has been actively functioning in the college since 1958. It has been
responsible in training the students in defe.nse, fitness and team work. Our students
have had the opportunity to participate in national level sports meets and camps and
have won many awards.
The college has instituted a large number of awards and scholarships for meritorious
students, outstanding performers in sports and N.C.C. activities and those requiring
financial assistance.

Best Practice II: Sustained emphasis on co- and extra-curricular activities to stimulate
all-round development
 Goals
The college engages in several co-curricular activities and education practices with the
following objectives:

To encourage the holistic development of students

To explore and bring to fruition the latent potential of each student and to provide an
ambience for creative expression

To provide a platform which facilitates smooth transition from college campus to
higher education or the professional sector

To provide optimum exposure to the cultural environment and develop a sense of
cultural belonging

To promote goodwill and interaction among all students and teacher-student
interaction

To inculcate the values of discipline and moral character

To expose the students to new ideas of research and development

To develop leadership skills and organizational abilities
 The context
The motto of our college has been “AATMADEEPO BHAVA”, that is, “Let the light within
guide you.” With this objective in mind, every effort has been made by our college to tap the
hidden potential in the students and inculcate good human values. Since its inception, the
college has been tirelessly engaged in the task of creating a long and illustrious lineage of
women achievers in every field of life. In order to achieve this purpose of all-round
individual development, mere academic pursuit is not adequate. Therefore, alongside the
curricular programmes, extracurricular activities have been designed to ensure their cultural
and moral well being. The college considers it its duty to provide value -based education and
life–skills which will help to create individuals who can not only adapt themselves easily to
an ever-changing society but can also provide leadership and guidance when necessary.
 The Practice
Co- and extra-curricular Activities
The college has always believed that an all-round educational development can only take
place through a holistic approach. In this context, the college has taken the following steps:
 The Fresher’s Welcome is annually held in a 100% ragging-free environment. This is
achieved by encouraging equal participation of the seniors and the new entrants in
designing the programme. This fosters a strong bond between freshers and seniors
and creates a friendly ambience.

The college upholds Indian tradition and heritage in all such events. In the present
scenario of steadily degrading social values, our college has been able to maintain
distinction with regards to the quality and nature of such programmes. A strict
discipline is followed during these programmes. Active participation of teachers and
their valuable guidance during the same also ensures meaningful achievements.
These cultural programmes have been the platform where a lot of our students have
discovered and realized their love for performing arts which they have pursued
professionally later in their lives.

The college organizes a number of extension lectures other than departmental
activities and UGC sponsored seminars and seminars in collaboration with Asutosh
College. These memorial lectures are eagerly anticipated by both the teachers and the
students of the college. The subjects of such lectures are carefully chosen so that they
provide a unique exposure to new thoughts and developments in the frontier areas of
research as a matter of academic interest. The students actively participate in such
programmes and this enhances their leadership and organizational skills.
The college also organizes visits to radio and television stations to provide the
students a hands-on experience of the operations of such media houses. Moreover,
the college also organizes the internship of many students in prestigious media and
corporate houses to empower them with job readiness.


The college regularly observes the birth and death anniversaries of personalities of
national interest like freedom fighters, scientists, moral leaders, educationists, poets,
writers etc. with a view to provide role models to the student community.

The students are encouraged to attend camps and in-house and off-campus
workshops conducted by organizations such as Vivekananda Nidhi (a scientific &
industrial research organization for education in human values, a part of NCERT
network) to promote self- empowerment and self management while being true to
the cultural roots of our country.

The literary talents of the students find expression in the annually published college
magazine and the wall magazines of the different departments.
 Evidence of Success
The quality education imparted by the college has resulted in it becoming one of the most
sought after institutions for higher studies. This is reflected in the increased number of
students admitted to the college each year. Over the years many students have benefitted
from these practices and have been able to successfully complete their education as a result.
Moreover, our efforts have also made it possible for many students to tackle their personal
and emotional problems and rise above them to carve out their individual identity. Our
college is proud to have as its alumni countless prominent figures in the fields of academics,
literature, art and culture, politics, administration and law, sports. They have not only carved
out a niche for themselves but have also upheld the name of the college by utilizing the
opportunities given to them. Their exemplary achievements have brought honour and glory
to the college and reaffirmed its faith in the best practices mentioned above.
The college has never seen an atmosphere of unrest or in-fighting among students and there
has always been a healthy atmosphere of learning. Moreover, the teacher -student
relationship in this college is such that the students always voice their thoughts and opinions
without fear of being subdued. The college initiatives have produced socially responsible
citizens who are equally aware of their moral and ethical ground as well as their civic rights.
Through these value-based practices we uphold the views of Swami Vivekananda:
“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and run riots there,
undigested, all your life. We must have life building, man making, and character making
assimilation of ideas. If you have five ideas and make them your life and character, you have
more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library.”
Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The primary constraint in the implementation of the practices mentioned above is the
shortage of time and space and the timely detection of students’ needs. The college
functions in the morning hours and has to share classroom and laboratory space with
Asutosh College. This leaves us with limited time and space for teacher-student
interaction and couselling. The college tries its best to overcome this problem by
making use of the annex building and giving timely notices.

The college has to contend with a growing number of students and shortage of staff.
This severely impedes the much needed one-to-one interaction between teacher and
student.

The college has limited access to the Asutosh Memorial Hall for holding its cultural
functions and other extra-curricular activities. As the college does not have an
auditorium of its own, many of its activities have to be held in one of the larger
classrooms. This limits our audience to small groups. A mini auditorium which is
being constructed in the annex campus is likely to eliminate this problem to some
extent.

Shortage of laboratory space does not enable us to carry out short term laboratory
projects after college hours.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
StrengthI)
Favourable teacher student ratio enables effective interactions between students
and teachers enabling the students to learn appropriately.
II)
A fairly rich library of the college caters to the needs of the students as well as
the teachers with regard to the existing state of knowledge in the subject.
III)
This Department has a legacy in having some of the highly experienced and
finest teachers through whom students could draw benefit for their academic
upliftment.This results in flow of students from far away places in this st ate.
IV)
The literary contributions made by some of the faculty members still are used as
reference guide both to the teachers and taught.
Weaknessi)
Despite having sanctioned posts certain vacancies still exist. This results in
difficulties to maintain the desired all round development in the subject.
ii)
In the changing scenario of modern day teaching the application of computer aided teaching would make the subject-matter more lively to the students.
iii)
The syllabus of Sanskrit Language and Literature in school le vel is not
sufficient enough to cope with the honours syllabus of the University.
Opportunitiesi)
Development of linkages with institutions of national importance in Sanskrit
language like Asiatic Society, Puri Jagannatha Sanskrit University etc. This
will enable the students to have exposures to the recent developments in the
subject.
Challengesi)
To attract the students more in this subject is a great challenge.
ii)
Despite the dearth of full time teaching staff the department strives to maintain
the standard set up by the former teachers.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future plan:

Strength : Sinceretiy and regularity of the teachers. The department has the
benefit of a dedicated faculty who systematically upgrade/update themselves on
their respective assignments through the use of different e -educational tools like
power point presentations, historical movies, web resources, and e -books &
Journals apart from a collection of history maps and slides

Weakness : Teaching posts lying vacant. Lack of space for classes and research
programme. Inadequate language skills: as a direct fallout of the above, the power
of expression and writing skills, of the students are sometimes poor, even in their
own mother tongue, Bengali, not to speak of English .

Opportunity: We have potential teaching facility. We can explore possibilities of
generating further financial resources from government and non -government
organizations like ICHR for undertaking projects.

Challenges: Lack of space for research activities. It is also a further challenge to
develop language and vocabulary skills for the students.

Future: Procurement of vivid study materials for student. Organizing seminars
and workshops and interactive sessions more often for the student.

repute so teachings cover a wider dimension.
 The Department is having its own library besides the central library.
Weakness:
 Enrolment of science and non-philosophy students sometimes affects
understanding of philosophy as a whole subject.
 As a large number of students reads Bengali medium books so they are
unable to reach to the good English books.
 Students are afraid of study philosophy as post academic scope in
employment is limited.
 Students who are forced to opt philosophy sometimes do not reach the
standard.
 Scarcity of space ,audio-visual aids sometimes affect the teaching.
Challenges:




To find solutions to the declining trend of student enrolement.
To make the students aware of the fact that a variety of employment
opportunities are available to them outside the traditional one.
To add to the number of teaching staff so that the department can introduce
newer courses.
Regular revision of syllabus with the contemporary demand.
Future plan of the Department:
 Introduction of PG course in philosophy.
 To publish the Departmental journal.
 Multidisciplinary thrust of different subjects in the traditional syllabus of
philosophy.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and future plans
Strength:
Our department was established before 1956. It has a history of over 50 yrs.
Department has been strengthened through the devotion of earlier teachers as well as
present teacher, non teaching staff. A vast number of studious and brilliant students who
are now established in various fields as well as pursuing higher studies and research
studies. Present students are also our strength. They are obedient, energetic, and ready to
grasp new topics.the college administration has always been helpful, supportive and
eager to solve whatever problems we face.
Weakness
Although our department is aged around eighty years but it could not expand its
space. Lack of specious classrooms, well equipped remain library, decent instrument
room may be cited as our weakness.
Opportunity
Since Jogamaya Devi college, Asutosh College & Shyamaprasad College all
share the same college premises, our department could easily share the innovative
teaching methods, study materials books etc with the concerned departments of the other
two colleges.
Challenges
Lack of space, burgeoning number of student, gradual deterioration of quality of
student, two vacant posts of substantial teachers are some of the challenges we face,
however, which we will surely overcome in near future.

c) Class rooms with ICT facility –
There is ICT facility in some classrooms which are used by all the departments. The
department uses the ICT classes as and when requires.
d) Laboratories – Not applicable
government or other agencies --All the students belong to SC, ST & Minorities receive scholarship from the govt.
College also provide financial assistance to the needy students.
32. Details on student enrichment programmes (special lectures/workshops/seminar) with
external experts--- The College organize special lectures, seminar, and workshop on
regular basis. The students participate on those programmes and enrich themselves.
33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning -- Traditional lecture methods using chalk and blackboard.
 Questions answer sessions.
 Class-room interaction and discussions.
 Remedial coaching organized for the lagging/weak students.
 Tutorials and Group Discussions.
34. Participation in Institutional social responsibilities--Interested students of the department participate in N.S.S or N.C.C activities. They
also participate as volunteer in various programmes/activities organized by the college.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans --STRENGTH:
 Very committed, Punctual and regular faculty members.
 Faculties are easily accessible and cordial and friendly relation with students.
 Favourable teacher student ratio : possibility of open interaction.
 A very useful seminar library with 574 books.
 The department has highly qualified teachers with Ph.D degree and research
Experiences.
 Very often we get some meritorious students who get good marks in
examination.
WEAKNESS:
 Majority of the incoming students do not have any prior concept of the subject
as they come from the science stream.
 Lack of motivation of a part of the students as the subject is chosen by them as
the second best option.
 Lack of space for research and teaching since we do not have a departmental
room.
 Some of the students are weak in English so they are unable to access recourses
available in English and follow lectures in English.
OPPORTUNITY:
 To encourage to do research after PG.
 Introduction of Post Graduation in Economics
CHALLENGES:
 Encouraging students to develop both mathematical capability and command
over English language.
 Reverse the declining trend of student enrollment.
 Making the students aware of the fact that a variety of employment
opportunities are available to them outside the traditional ones in the neoliberal regime.
 Economics is not a compulsory subject at school level so the students are raw
and they do not have basic knowledge of the subject.
 At school level, the recruitment of teachers of Economics is shrinking.
FUTURE PLANS OF THE DEPARTMENT:
 We will try to introduce Post Graduation in Economics and guide the students
for competitive examination.
 The department is also planning for remedial classes for poor and needy
students more effectively.
 We will try to contact with private firms/companies for campus recruitment.
 WE will try to organize student enrichment programmes (special lectures /
workshops/seminar) with external experts of Economics from other colleges
and universities.
 To organize national/international seminar.
 To undertake Minor research project.
 Publish the Departmental journal.

department
& Future Plans :
Strengths : We have dedicated teachers and technical work force. We have sufficient
number of instruments to meet the requirement of theUniversity Curriculum.
Weakness: No scope for using extended hours for practical classes as the same space is
used by the Day Section
Opportunities: Students passing with Chemistry Honours go for higher studies in C.U.
and other state Universities. Few students also join different analytical laboratories and
School Service andother civil services.
Challenges: There is limited scope for innovation in curriculum design as the
syllabus prescribed by the university is strictly followed. However, topics related to
frontier areas of research are discussed through internal seminar and workshops. This
intention is threatened due to constraints of time and space.

Audio visual aids are available for teaching.
Weaknesses:
o The department lack infrastructure like separate classrooms for the
students and room or cabins for the faculty.
o Financial assistance for the purchase of books/ Equipments is quite
low.
o Participation in seminars and conferences at national and
international level is quite low.
o Documentation of departmental activities and teacher participation in
community affairs is not regularly monitored.
Opportunities:
o NAAC is an opportunity to self analysis by the department.
o Department realised the value of documentation of its activities to
identify the strengths and weaknesses for frontward planning and
improvement.
o New promotion scheme introduced by UGC compels to improve the
overall quality and efficiency of a teacher in academic, social and
environmental arena.
o Increased financial input in higher education may usher in the
development of infrastructure and thus, the overall efficiency of a
faculty.
Challenges:
o To attract meritorious students for studying in the department and
promote higher studies and research.
o To develop the discipline with job-orientation.
o To design new courses to keep updated with frontiers of Science.
o To balance academic and administrative achieves by the teachers.
Future plans:
The department is always pre-disposed to several future plans to execute
in a befitting manner:
o Effort to completely arrest the drop-out as far as practicable, which is
very low already.
o Would arrange more remedial classes
o Organising seminars and special lectures by domain experts from
other institutions.
o Organising more educational tours.
o Arranging students’ seminars for improving their knowledge of the
subject.
o Introducing more and more Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI).
o Enhancing the quality of reference materials by having a wellstocked Departmental Library.
