EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
Welcome to a college that is on the threshold of its bicentenary!
CMS College, Kottayam was established in 1817 as the realization of a shared dream
and passion of a group of European missionaries (the Church Missionary Society,
England) and the royal family of the erstwhile Travancore. The first Principal of the
College was Rev. Benjamin Bailey, a scholar and polyglot who brought printing to
the land, authored books on vernacular grammar, and developed the first dictionary in
Malayalam.
A milestone in the institution’s contribution to history happened a century back. In
1913, the College opened its portals to women, thereby initiating women’s access to
higher education in Kerala and history stands to testify how this contributed to the
social and educational upliftment of women in our society.
CMS College has an illustrious line of alumni – Dr. K. R Narayanan (former
President of India) and Mr. Oommen Chandy (present Chief Minister of Kerala) were
our students. Other names in this line are Mr. K.P.S. Menon (Former Indian
Ambassador to the USSR), Padmavibhooshan Dr. E. C. George Sudarshan (renowned
Theoretical Physicist), Padmabhooshan Justice K.T.Thomas (former Justice of the
Supreme Court of India) and Padmabhooshan Kavalam Narayana Panicker (poet and
dramatist).
CMS College was first accredited by NAAC in 1999 with Five Star. The
reaccreditation was done in 2007 (B++). The UGC granted the status of Centre with
Potential for Excellence (CPE) in 2004. Currently the college awaits the third cycle of
accreditation.

and setting up patterns of evaluation and documentation.
At points where college level intervention is possible in implementation of the

1.4.3. How many new programmes / courses were introduced by the institution

programmes?
For the past several years there has been a ban on the starting of new courses
especially in the aided stream by the Govt. of Kerala. The college has applied for
seven programmes viz., (1) Master of Social Work (MSW), (2) M.Phil in Commerce,
(3) Master of Business Administration (MBA), (4) M.A Economics, (5) M.A
Malayalam (6) M.A History and (7) B.Com-Taxation and Finance.
The University has sanctioned starting of three programmes, namely (1) Master of
Business Administration, (2) B.Com – Taxation and Finance (3) M.A History and(4)
M.A Malayalam. The college has taken measures for starting these courses.
The rationale for introducing new programmes includes
1. Contemporary relevance of the programme
2. Student demand
3. Competency of the college to conduct the programme
4. Historical significance (The Rev. Benjamin Bailey, the first Principal of the
college was the architect of modern Malayalam script, Malayalam printing
press, Malayalam Dictionary, English-Malayalam Dictionary, Malayalam
Grammar and the first Malayalam magazine)
Any other relevant information regarding curricular aspects which the college would
like to include.
Even though the college is the pioneer institution in the field of higher education not
only in Kerala but in entire India, it lacks academic flexibility. The college does not
65
enjoy the much needed academic autonomy. Autonomous colleges are not yet
approved in Kerala. So there are difficulties in starting new programmes and
restructuring the existing programmes. However, it is heartening to note that the
Government of Kerala has accepted college autonomy in principle. Accordingly, the
college has already submitted a proposal to the government. It is earnestly hoped that
the college will be able to perform better once autonomy is accorded to the college.

Abbreviations:H= Highest percentage of mark. L= Lowest percentage of mark
The average highest and lowest percentage of marks in the open category for UG
programmes in the college was 87 per cent and 66 per cent respectively during the
previous academic year. The average highest and lowest percentage of marks in the
71
open category for PG programmes in the college during the same period was 85 per
cent and 73 per cent respectively.
2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process
and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and
how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?
Yes, the admission process is reviewed every year. The CampusNet8 provides a
facility to review admission profile.
The category wise (open merit, reservation, and community merit and management
quota) list of students with their highest and lowest percentage of marks in qualifying
examination is reviewed by the IQAC.
On the basis of review of the student profiles, some policy changes were made in the
admission in Management Quota.

To get students with relatively better profile, cut - off marks are fixed.

The availability of the seats in the management quota is published in the
college notice board
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.
The college has been inclusive in admitting students from socially and economically
backward communities, marginalised groups and those who are not in the forefront of
the society. Emphasis on equity considerations has been given from the very inception
of the college. It may be worth noting that the nation has been blessed with many

adequate disclosure to all information needed for the students and teachers.
72
great personalities like Dr. K R. Narayanan9, due to the inclusive admission practices
of the college. The same practice is being followed even today. The admission
policies of the college on providing a better access to different disadvantaged
communities include:
i.
SC/ST: The inclusive character of the college is evident from the admission in
the SC/ ST quota. The mandatory reservation of seats for this category is 20 per
cent. Percentage of SC/ST students to the total students enrolled in the college in
2013 was 21.4 per cent which itself is an indication of the accessibility of SC/ST
communities to the college. The management advances the hostel fees of SC/ST
women inmates in the college hostel and fees will be reimbursed as and when
grant from government is released.
ii.
OBC/OEC: The inclusive character of the college is also evident from the
admission given to Other Backward Communities. In spite of the fact that there
is no mandatory reservation of seats for students belonging to OBC/OEC
communities, about 52 percent of the students admitted in the Management
Quota are from Dalit and other backward communities. It may also be noted that
at present their total strength in the college is 45.88 per centof the total student
strength in the college.
iii.
Women: Empowerment of women was a matter of concern to the college even
about a century ago. The college was the first higher education institution in
Kerala to admit women students, in the year 1913. Over the years women
outnumber men in almost all the academic programmes. Today they constitute
nearly 60 percent of the total student population in the college. The college offers
wide opportunities to the women students for equal
growth and development.
Accommodation facilities in two ladies hostels, common rest rooms, Women’s

admission and fee concession obtained in the CMS College is the only cause for the
success of his career.
73
Studies Centre and Jyothis 10 provide ample avenues for the development of girl
students.
iv.
Differently-abled: As per the government guidelines three percent of the seats
are earmarked for students who are challenged physically. The College is liberal
in providing admission to differently-abled students.
v.
Economically weaker sections: Priority is given in the management quota for
economically weaker sections. More than twenty percent of the students admitted
in the college are from economically weaker sections. Among the various
discretionary scholarships, about 35 percent was given to the economically
weaker sections.
vi.
Minority community: 46 percent of the total students in the college belong to
the minority communities. In community merit quota, students are enrolled from
Christian minority communities.
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.
The college offers 14 Undergraduate Programmes and 14 Post Graduate Programmes
in the regular stream.

strength permitted by the University. However, it is to be noted that under CAP the college
receives separate applications under Management quota, Community Quota, Sports quota
and seats reserved for candidate with proficiency in arts.

The tables demonstrate the improvement in the performance of students across
programmes over the years.
2.5.6 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and
transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weight
ages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioural
aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)
Rigor and transparency are ensured in the internal assessment programme through the
following modes:
Academic Performance

Topics of assignment, date of submission of assignment, topic of seminar and
dates of presentation of seminar are given in advance.

The internal assessment results are published, specifying separately the grades
secured for each component such as attendance, assignments, seminar, two test
papers, overall grade, and GPA.

The internal marks are uploaded to the university portal by the faculty advisor
after getting the approval of the general coordinator
Overall Development
Development of a student is evaluated on the basis of weightages assigned for
different internal assessment parameters viz., attendance, assignment, seminar, and
test papers. These are structured in such a way that there are qualitative changes in
behavioural pattern, independent learning ability and communication skills of a
student.
 Behavioural aspects are mainly measured and accounted on the basis of the
punctuality and presence of students in class hours.
 Independent learning skill of students is measured on the basis of assignments
given to them. Grades are given on the basis of four parameters viz. content,
113
creativity, references, and structure.
 Communication skills are measured on the basis of the presentation of seminars.
Grades are given on the basis of four parameters viz. content, language,
interaction, and innovative approach.
 Knowledge of a student is evaluated through written examination and VivaVoce.
2.5.7
Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation 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.
Yes. Assessment / evaluation is used by individual teachers as well as the college as
an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives
and planning.
Student performance is evaluated through both formative (internal examinations) and
summative (semester end examinations conducted by the University) assessments.
This evaluation is the basis for planning future course of action such as selection of
students for scholarships, arranging remedial programmes, providing opportunities to
brilliant students, identification of students to participate in curricular and cocurricular activities within and outside the college, adopting appropriate teaching
methodology, organising advanced learning programmes etc.
For example:
 Selection of students for scholarship is made on the basis of the grades/GPA
secured in internal and university examinations.
 Punctuality, performance and communication skills are considered for
identifying and encouraging students as class representatives and other leaders of
Departmental Associations.
114
 Good performers in seminars are selected as comperes / MCs of various
programmes organized at the department level and college level.
 Selection of students for participation in competitions, organized by other
colleges or institutes at the state /national level, is done on the basis of their
communication skills and creative thinking
 Students are identified for remedial programmes on the basis of their
performance in internal assessment.
2.5.8 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to
evaluation both at the college and University level?
Grievances if any, with regard to internal evaluation are redressed through the
following mechanism:
 Grievances of students are addressed at the departmental level by the faculty
advisor and the Heads of the Departments.
 If the grievance of a student is not redressed at the departmental level, it is
formally brought to the notice of the Grievance Redressal Cell functioning at the
college level.
 Grievance cell functions at the college level so that the students may redress their
complaints regarding internal assessment. The Principal, the Head of the
Department concerned and the general coordinator of the internal assessment
programmes in the college are members of the Grievance Redressal Cell.
 If the same grievance is not redressed at the college level, students may approach
the Grievance Redressal Cell functioning at the University level.
 The grievance redressal mechanism is communicated to the students through the
College Handbook.
 Grievances in the case of evaluation of external examination are dealt with by the
University. The college provides necessary guidance.The Students’ Cooperative
Store supplies relevant forms.

have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college
During the last five years the college has introduced several innovations such as
introduction of the Attendance Management System and Smart Cards, establishment
of Smart Classrooms and launching of Vidyanikshepam – the publishing unit of CMS
College. All these have brought about a positive impact in the functioning of the
College.
A. Attendance Management System - Teachers can access the online Attendance
Management Software through the College website using their personal ID and
password and enter the attendance of students. The attendance report of every
student can be generated at the end of the month. The system has brought in a
general improvement in the overall discipline of the College since it facilitates

I.
244
MENTORING FOR HOLISTIC GROWTH
1. Title of the Practice
Mentoring for Holistic Growth
2. Goal of the Practice
CMS College believes that education is a holistic experience, and that the students
entrusted to our care would become positive citizens. It was towards reinforcing this
concept that the programme was introduced. The practice aims the students to:
i.
Equip themselves as matured citizens with positive thinking – psychological
changes
ii.
Rediscover themselves and look upon the self in the light of the world around
them – personality changes
iii.
Explore, learn and discuss real time issues so that there will be a new kind of
awareness among them – cognitive level changes
iv.
Develop a new perspective towards the society – attitudinal changes
v.
Bring about new modes of action – action level changes
3. The Context
The changing value systems in the family and society have put pressure on students
and teenagers resulting in many psycho-social issues. Besides, wide range of disparity
among students in terms of financial and social status pose challenges on their holistic
development. The conventional class room setting dissuades the students from
opening up their mind. Significance of mutuality and interdependence of an individual
with fellow beings, an individual with the society, and an individual with the
environment are not imbibed by the students as part of the present curriculum.
All these resulted in discord in a congenial academic environment. Students who are
subject to these challenges were often found to show lack of interest in listening and
245
completing their academic responsibilities. The inability of students to mingle with
fellow students of different socio-economic backgrounds brought about poor group
dynamics in the classroom settings which ultimately weakened the extra-curricular
activities. Increasing absenteeism and expression of a rebellious character towards
disciplining were also the related challenges. It was in this context that ‘mentoring for
holistic growth’ was introduced.
4. The Practice
A group of students from a department, ranging from ten to fifteen in number, are put
together under the guidance of a teacher who acts as the mentor. The group is
composed of students from UG first year to PG final year in the department. The
mentor gets to know each student personally and extend them support based on their
needs. The increased rapport with the students encourage them to share their issue
with the mentor. The needs and problems of the students, whether curricular, extracurricular, personal, psychological or social, are identified and dealt with. The
students who require specific psycho-social support are referred to the consultant
professional counselor27 in the college.
Apart from this, the group, along with the mentor formally gathers once in a month, as
per the scheduled time prescribed by the college, usually in the last week of every
month. The group engages in various activities like discussions and interactions on
issues of social relevance. At times, the mentors and mentees of certain groups
propose topics of contemporary significance for college level discussions in the
subsequent meetings. A few subjects of current relevance are also suggested by the
IQAC or the teaching community.
Group-wise mentor-mentee gathering is made more productive with opportunity for
visual presentation as well. The topic for deliberation is announced in advance. The
students are expected to understand these topics in detail and prepare posters for
presentation, which are displayed department-wise in the college campus. The best
posters are given prizes. The posters presented on each mentoring day is compiled and
27
The services of two professional counselors are made available in the college four days in a week.

bound into a book form. Following this, the topic is taken up for discussion during the
mentoring hour. The significance of the topic is discussed in relation to their life. The
inevitability of their interdependence to different units in the society and the
ecosystem are exposed through these discussions. The mentor and mentee together
decide on the mode of introducing, discussing and consolidating their personal views
in this respect.
The group meetings also provide the students from different socio-economic
backgrounds, an avenue for better interaction.
Each department is given the freedom to implement the practice under the broad
guidelines specified by the College and the results are very encouraging. Based on
suggestions from the student feedback, modifications in the practice are incorporated
from time to time.
5. Evidence of Success
The practice of mentoring proved to be of great success. The students started opening
up their needs to the teachers, thereby leading to an improved teacher-student
relationship. As a result teachers are able to understand the problems of the students
and help them to resolve issues. The mentor, on identification of the specific psychosocial needs of the students, leads them to professional counselling and many students
are benefiting from the presence of the professional counsellor on campus.
The discussions on various topics of contemporary relevance helped the students to be
more involved in the real-time social issues. For instance, the Delhi issue and
atrocities against women were taken seriously by the students and they organized
different programmes to create awareness on violence against women in the campus
and outside. The students also became more environmentally concerned, which is
evidenced from their efforts to make the campus plastic free and their interest in
stock-taking the trees on campus and their alert mind in protecting them.
A better involvement and a wider participation in group/extra-curricular activities
could be noted among the students. For example, the number of students reported for
247
joining NSS is much beyond the sanctioned number as per the Mahatma Gandhi
University rules.
6. Problems Encountered
In spite of the success of the practice of mentoring, there are certain problems that the
system encounters.

Insufficiency of time is the major constraint in the implementation of the
programme. The introduction of CBCSS and the resultant increase in the
academic work leave the teachers with less time for activities beyond
curriculum.

Lack of proper counselling skill of the teachers to address the psychosocial
issues of the students is yet another problem faced in this regard.

The duties of the teachers outside the campus for examination, valuation,
training etc., reduce the effectiveness of group wise meeting. In such cases, the
groups are combined making it so unwieldy with less scope for individual
attention.
7. Resources Required
The major resource required for the implementation of the programmes is man power.
Since the teachers act as the mentors payment is made only for the service of the
professional counsellors. The Chaplain of the college serves as one professional
counsellor.
8. Note
For the successful implementation of the programme certain points are to be
considered:

The effectiveness of the mentoring programme is directly related to the skill of
the teacher in encountering the psycho-social issues of the student. Therefore, the
248
teachers are to be given training for basic counselling skills so that they will be
able to show empathy to the students and win their confidence.

The grouping of students in an optimum size of 10-15 is necessary for giving
proper attention. Formal gathering of these groups necessitates more spatial
infrastructure other than the usual class rooms.

Effectiveness of the formal group-wise mentoring programme depends on the
selection of the topic of relevance and the ability of the mentor to link that issue
to life, society and environment.

Poster presentation is an integral part of the programme which enhances the
bonding of groups through the involvement of everybody in the visualization of
the concepts. There should be appropriate place for conducting the poster
presentation effectively.

II. FEEL EMPLOYABLE
1. Title of the Practice :
FEEL Employable: Facilitating Excellence in Effective Leaning.
2. Goal
FEEL Employable is a finishing school programme that aims at adding value to the
degree programmes offered by the college. It is a unique programme organized by
the Centre for Career Guidance and Placements, C.M.S. College in association with
the ISO certified CLHRD (College for Leadership and Human Resource
Development), Mangalore.FEEL stands for “Facilitating Excellence in Effective
Leadership”. The ultimate aim of this practice is to help students redefine themselves
through reinforcement of various areas of their own human resource and make them
competent and confident to face the job market and challenges of the modern world.
3. The Context
Most of the students come from rural areas and their mindset and skills for
communication are limited.
There was a pressing need to motivate and improve their skill sets and confidence.
The Inter personal relationsand group dynamics of the students are also not up to the
required levels.
The recruiters often commented that “the students have good knowledge but lack
employability”.
There is a need to equip the students to confront the demands of job market
successfully. Thus it is felt that Training in soft skills is very crucial in this regard.
4. The Practice
It is an integrated training programme for all the UG / PG students. In the first stage a
general induction meet is organized for the first year UG/PG students to introduce
250
them to the Student Activities Beyond Curriculum. The induction meet is organized
usually after the closure of admission every year. Eminent and successful
personalities are brought for helping the student in goal setting.
Integrated training package covers all the three years at the undergraduate level. It is
designed as a one-day training programme for the first year students and two-day
training for the second year students. The certified trainers among faculty organise the
training programmes in the first and second year as per a structured curriculum. This
is organized and conducted at the department level.
Three-day training is given to the outgoing UG and PG students with the human
resource support led by the Director and Facilitators from CLHRD AIM INSIGHTS
Mangalore.
In the three days integrated training programme, the students are divided into small
units with afacilitator who will work with them throughout the course period. The
highlights of the methodology of this training are:

Participatory method is used for developing the competency of students.

Guided group discussions helps in getting clarification on concepts.

Repeated performances enable mind skills development.

Experiential learning methodology promotes individual participation

Profiles are prepared through assessment during interventions

Individual practice sessions are organized for group discussions and interviews.
5. Evidence of Success
The success rate of this practice is measured in terms of the following:

The confidence level of the students before and after the course
251

Enhanced communication skill of the students who have undergone the course

Number of students who got placement and admissions in prestigious
institutions / organisations

Employers revisiting the campus for recruitments

Feedback from employers about their employees who have been recruited from
the campus
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The successful implementation of the programme faces some problems such as:

Training programmes organized for the students in the first year and the
second year may get delayed due to the limited availability of trained staff
among the faculty.

The three day training programmes to the outgoing students is made optional
due to financial and administrative convenience. Hence a few students remain
untrained.

Organisation and conduct of the three day programme requires financial
commitment. It requires nearly Rs.2,00,000. Currently one third of the amount
is collected from the students and the balance is met by the college.
7. Notes
The programme is implemented with the active involvement of the teachers. So there
should be adequate number of trained faculty.
Conscientizing all the stakeholders - the students, parents, teachers and the
management the need for such a programme for making the students suitable to the
job market.

that date and Receipts and Payments for the year ended that date.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Governing Council, CMS

statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We Report that:1. We have obtained all the information and explanation which to the best of our
knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit.
2. In our opinion proper books of account as required have been kept by the
College so far as appears from our examination of such books.
3. The Balance sheet, Income and Expenditure account and Receipt and
Payments account dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of
account kept and maintained by the College.
