2.12 How does IQAC Contribute/Monitor/Evaluate the Teaching & Learning processes:
1) All the Lecturers prepare their teaching-plans and lesson-plans at the beginning of
each semester. The newly introduced CBCS scheme involves lot of Co-Curriculum and
Extracurricular activities, Soft Skill Development, Foundation Course in all the semesters
has helped the students to participate and portray their talents which accounts to total
50 marks to their credit. The students are expected to read periodical newspapers, pose
questions, discuss the topic after completion of the lecture and seek clarification on the
several points raised from the lecturer during the lecture.
2) To monitor and evaluate policies and plans of the Institution for effective
implementation and improvement from time to time review meetings are conducted
periodically and in turn a meeting between the Head of the Institution and departmental
heads are conducted to ensure transparency and flow of information. Governing Council
meetings are held regularly. The Head of the Institution/ Member Secretary, Secretary of
HKBK Group of Institutions & Members of the Governing Council monitor and review the
activities from time to time.
3) Syllabus Monitoring Committee through syllabus completion report. Complete &
detailed syllabus for all the courses of core and non-core subjects taught in our
Institution is provided by the Bangalore University.
4) Manual Feedback System - Interaction with stake holders helps the Institution in
obtaining the feedback from them which is then sent to the IQAC team for further action.
The feedback obtained from the stakeholders serves as a support for policy-making and
future planning.
5) Mentoring - Student mentoring is one of the strategies deployed by the Institution to
bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with the
programme of their choice. Student-mentoring is accorded top priority and focus in the
Institution. Mentors, who act as counsellors also primarily collect data of their students
and ensure regular interaction with them. From counselling the Students on academic
and non-academic matters to advising them on personal issues, mentors act as a guiding
spirit to them. Continuous progress of the students under the charge of the mentors is
ensured by the Institution through a process of review.
6) Remedial classes for slow learners - After complete assessment of the results of the
students, the head of the Institution convenes a meeting of all the teaching staff and
instructs the faculty to take into consideration the performance of the students, make
special arrangements to take remedial classes and give more attention towards such
students whose performance is below-average. Periodic tests, Class test i.e. I.A Exams &
Pre – Final Exams etc. conducted to improve their learning process.
