CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
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.
The founders of our institution Dr. K. Padmanabhan and his beloved wife
Tmt. N. Bagavathy Ammal established this institution in the year 1967, with a
view to repaying the debt they owed to the region that reared them. Their
illustrious son, the incumbent president of the College Management,
Er. P. Kumaraswamy, is carrying on the task bequeathed to him by his parents
to the appreciation of everybody associated with higher education. The
convictions of Thiru. Pioneer S. Kumaraswamy, after whose name the
College is christened, is well reflected in the Institution‘s vision and mission.
Vision
Mission
: Educating the ground reality and empowering to emerge as
an Ideal Citizen with sustained skills and values through
quality education
Objectives :
 EDUCATING the challenges ahead
 EMPOWERING to respond to the challenges ahead
 ENHANCING sustained skills to respond to the challenges
ahead
 ENSURING an Ideal Citizen with Values.
Communication of Vision, Mission and Objectives to stakeholders:
The Vision, Mission and Objectives of the institution are communicated to the
stakeholders through the prospectus, College calendar and website. While
formulating the action plan of the year, goal oriented activities are only
identified and listed. Thus, through the action plan and its execution,
objectives of our institution are communicated to the stakeholders.
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).
Being an affiliated institution there is little scope in curriculum development.
Yet, departments deploy their methods for the effective implementation of the
curriculum designed by the University. Heads of the departments convene
department meetings and through mutual consultation with the members of the
department, allot subjects and teaching hours. If it is necessary, units are
allotted to more than one faculty member. Members are instructed to complete
their units in adherence to the time schedule as stipulated by the Head of the
Department.
16
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 College and the University support the teachers for improving their
teaching practices. University arranges training programmes for effective
translation of the newly designed courses.
The College is supportive by deputing teachers to attend Faculty Development
Programmes, Orientation Programmes, Refresher Courses, organised not only
by the parent University but also by other Universities as well. By organising
special lectures of the eminent academicians, and retired senior faculty, by
enriching library resources and by providing technological aids, the College is
instrumental in the effective translation of curriculum.
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.
The College has made the curriculum delivery a ―Learner Friendly‖ one.
Teachers ensure a conducive ambience in their classes. Traditional method of
teaching is supplemented by group based learning with the support of
technological tools. Class seminars, workshops, student teaching students and
class quiz are assigned to different groups and they are also motivated to
utilise the library resources, internet and LCD facilities in the College.
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?
Under-Graduate students had undertaken projects (till 2013), involving field
visits, which helped them to interact with the experts of various fields,
including entrepreneurs. As redesigned by our affiliating University, at
present, Post-Graduate Students and M. Phil students undertake projects and
write dissertation that help them to earn practical knowledge.
Field studies, Industrial visits and guest lectures by eminent scholars go a long
way in enriching the students‘ subject knowledge.
The College invites experts from the affiliating University to interact with
students and teachers. University nominee to our College Committee,
Members of IQAC (External academicians) have guided the institution for
effective implementation of the curriculum.
Participation of the teachers in training programmes, seminars, conferences
and workshops organised by the University strengthens our association with
the university departments.
17
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,
stakeholder feedback provided, specific suggestions etc.
The institution encourages the faculty members to provide their contribution
for developing curriculum. Two Senior Faculty members (English and
Mathematics) have served as the members of Board of Studies constituted by
the affiliating University.
Members of the various Boards of Studies have visited our institution on
various occasions to deliver guest lectures, to conduct practical exams and
viva-voce. During these visits, our faculties have represented the views of the
stakeholders, like entrepreneurs, alumni and students. Centralised valuation of
semester examination papers provides good opportunity for the teachers to
forward the suggestions to the Chairman of the Board of Studies for
appropriate action.
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.
Department of English, Physics, Chemistry and Commerce have developed
curriculum for the certificate course being offered under UGC funded Career
Oriented Programme.
The process is:
 Assessing the needs of the students
 Designing the curriculum on soil oriented needs
 Getting approval from the University
 Planning the execution of the curriculum
 Evaluating students‘ performance.

Collecting views from students and alumni is an in-built strategy to analyse
whether the objectives of the curriculum are achieved. Students present their
views in the workshops organised by IQAC. The feedback is communicated to
the respective departments for further action.
Choosing options under non-major electives and common skill based subjects,
offering computer literacy classes and short term courses are the initiatives
taken by the College.

30
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?
Students and Alumni have expressed that their learning experiences should be
more intensified so as to meet the requirements of the employers. Being an
affiliated institution, there is little scope in revamping the curricula of the
programmes.
Yet, with certain limitation, the institution takes efforts to enrich and enhance
the learning experiences of the students.
 Course enrichment activities by arranging special lectures, seminars
and field visits
 Seminars, quiz and group activities are the compulsory components of
curriculum
 Display of paper clippings on current topics/events of the day on
Notice Board
 Field visits and industrial visits promote interaction with entrepreneurs

of such facilities.
31
1.3.4 What are the various value-added courses/enrichment
programmes offered to ensure holistic development of
students?
Social Value Education is offered under Part V.
Commemoration of special days, like birth anniversary of Ramalinga Vallalar,
Vivekananda, Gandhiji and other celebrities helps to impart spiritual and
moral values. Social harmony, National integration, Humanitarianism and
Social justice are some of the themes debated on such occasions.
Counselling for pursuing studies progressively and counselling to maintain
emotional balance are also arranged.
Extension activities with the motto ―Not me but you‖ are carried on by the
three Units of NSS. Civic consciousness is imparted through the activities of
YRC, Rotaract Club and Red Ribbon Club.
Departments of English (both regular and self-financed) and Computer
Science offer short term Courses. Departments of Chemistry and Commerce
offer Certificate Courses at present.
UGC funded programme, ―Coaching for Entry into Services‖ is
implemented with the support of the external subject experts. Students are
trained to prepare for competitive examinations.
1.3.5 Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the
feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?
The institution collects opinion from the teachers, students, alumni, parents
and entrepreneurs, informally. It is communicated to the University, through
the Members of the Boards of studies. But the frequency for syllabus revision
is once in three or four years only. So, the impact of the reviews on the
curriculum cannot be realised, immediately.
As students opined, option in choosing non-major electives is slightly
modified by some departments.
IQAC conducts opinion survey among the students to find out their
requirements in curriculum enrichment. The survey helps to devise the
activities of the departments and the clubs. A remarkable rise in theme
oriented guest lectures is evident.
1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its
enrichment programmes?
The Head of the institution submits annual report to the College Committee.
Periodical reports and annual reports collected from the departments and the
co-ordinators of various clubs help to prepare the annual report. These reports
are reviewed and suggestions are given on them for appropriate action.
32
During the meetings of College Council, meetings for Heads of the
Departments and meetings for the members of IQAC the quality of the
enrichment programmes are evaluated.
1.4

These members have served on the Boards of Studies constituted by the
affiliating University. Their contribution in designing the curriculum is
explicitly recorded. Other departments have expressed their views and
forwarded the feedback of their students to the members of their respective
Board of Studies informally.
1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and
stakeholders on Curriculum? If ‗yes‘, how is it communicated
to the University and made use internally for curriculum
enrichment and introducing changes/new programmes?
Yes. Students‘ feedback on ―Campus Experience‖ during the course period is
collected from the outgoing students. IQAC conducts workshops for the
students and motivates them to present their views regarding the curriculum
enrichment and also their suggestions for better enforcement.
This method helps the institution while devising and executing the certificate
courses and short term courses.
A faculty member Dr. A. Thangaswamy, Department of Commerce represents
the institution in the Senate of the affiliating University. The member
represents the suggestions of the students in the Senate meetings for
consideration.
1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the
institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for
introducing new courses/programmes?)
New Programmes introduced by the institution during the last four years are
B. A English Literature in the year 2012
M. A English Literature in the year 2015
M. Sc. Mathematics
in the year 2015
These new programmes were introduced under the self-financed stream. The
rationale,
33



Demand for B. A English Literature under aided stream was on increase.
The institution, therefore, initiated steps to introduce B. A English
Literature in the year 2012
Under graduate students (Aided Stream) of B.A English Literature and
B. Sc Mathematics students made a request that the introduction of PG
programme in their subjects would enable them to pursue higher
education at a moderate cost. So M. A English Literature and M. Sc
Mathematics are introduced in 2015
Genuine demands from the students and parents are the real deciding
factors for introducing any new academic programme.
34
CRITERION II: TEACHING – LEARNING AND EVALUATION
2.1
Student Enrolment and Profile
2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the
admission process?
The admission process to various academic programmes of the college is
widely publicised through the institutional website. Notifications are made
known to the public through the regional and national newspapers.
Teachers, in teams, visit the near-by schools to acquaint +2 students with the
faculty and facilities available at the college.
Imprints of the institution, academic programmes, campus activities, financial
support to the meritorious non-scholarship students by the Pioneer
Kumaraswamy Memorial Endowment and other extension activities are
informed through the prospectus.
The admission process is entirely transparent. The selection is purely based
on merit and the admission list is displayed on the notice board.
2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex.
(i) merit (ii) common admission test conducted by state agencies
and national agencies (iii) combination of merit and entrance test
or merit, entrance test and interview (iv) any other)
to various programmes of the Institution.
The Admission Committee is constituted by the Principal with two senior
teachers and one faculty member from the disadvantaged community. This
committee scrutinizes the applications and prepares the list purely on merit
basis. The process is in consonance with the State Policy. The selected
students will attend counselling and interview and subsequently their
admission will be confirmed. The names of students in the waiting list will
also be displayed on the notice board.
The percentage of seats allotted to different categories are as follows:
Category

Physically Challenged
3% (Within the reservation)
Children of Ex-service men 2% (Within the reservation)
Sports persons
3% (Within the reservation)
35
In the self-financed stream also, admission is purely based on merit. Students
from rural and disadvantaged groups are given priority. Because, the main
goal of the college is to educate the youth from the deprived sections of the
society.
Admission to post-graduate programmes and M. Phil is based on the marks
obtained in the qualifying examination and performance in the personal
interview.
2.1.3 Give the minimum and maximum percentage of marks for
admission at entry level for each of the programmes offered by the
college and provide a comparison with other colleges of the
affiliating university within the city/district.
The minimum percentage of marks for admission to all UG programmes is
35 and for PG programmes are 40.
Minimum and maximum percentage of marks for admission for all the
programmes are:

There are six Aided Colleges in Nagercoil funded by the UGC and the
Government of Tamil Nadu. Four of them are the minority institutions
including two with Autonomous status and two are women‘s colleges. Their
applicants outnumber the sanctioned strength.
Only two colleges, Sree Ayyappa College for women, Chungankadai and
ours, a Co-educational institution are located on the outskirts of the town.
2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission
process and student profiles annually? If ‗yes‘ what is the
36
outcome of such an effort and how has it contributed to the
improvement of the process?
Yes. The admission process is reviewed and the comprehensive profile is
being analysed annually. This enables the College:
 To apply and get additional seats in some UG courses, like, English
Literature and Mathematics, as the demand is high for these subjects
 To get and analyse the comprehensive profile of students
 To improve our teaching practices and pedagogy.

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
∗ Women
∗ Differently abled
∗ Economically weaker sections
∗ Minority community
∗ Any other
The reservation system is strictly followed and thus students from
disadvantaged community, including girls, are ensured their access to equal
opportunities in higher education. Notable portion of the total students‘
strength is constituted by these students only. Apart from the statutory quota,
the Management also accommodates the students from the socially and
economically weaker sections, against its own quota.
The college makes all arrangements to get the scholarships meant for SC/ ST,
OBC and University‘s merit scholarship. Tamil Nadu Government‘s
scholarship for the children of farmers and beedi workers is also arranged.
Teachers also extend their helping hand to the needy students.
Thus the college ensures that its admission policy is in line with the national
commitment to diversity and inclusion of various categories.
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.
There is a significant increase in the number of takers for Commerce and
English Literature. Students from science groups prefer technical courses and
so a few students have left the college and joined some other professional
courses. Only very recently, parents and students have started realising the
values of the pure science subjects like, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
37
So, the demand for these programmes is increasing rapidly. Yet some
flexibility is evident in Tamil Literature and Zoology.

by providing scribes. The counselling provided by teachers enable them to
have a clear goal in life. Scholarships are arranged to pursue education
without financial constraints.
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.
 Common Orientation programme is arranged
 Departments conduct orientation for their students, separately
 Students‘ Bio-data are collected and analysed. Their socio-economic
and familial background are taken into account to arrange support
services
 Bridge Courses in Communicative English and core subjects are also
conducted. It helps to bridge the knowledge gap of the students from
rural areas.
Students‘ needs in terms of acquisition of knowledge and skills are analysed
before commencement of the regular classes. It helps to devise the teaching
methods of the departments.
2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the
knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Addon/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the
programme of their choice?
The needs of the learners and the levels of their attainment are diverse.
Learner-friendly approach of the teachers helps to identify the needs of the
students. The main hurdle, the students face is the switch over in the medium
of learning, from the vernacular to English. It poses a great challenge to them.
But, not only the Department of English but all departments conduct bridge
courses bilingually. It ensures conceptual clarity in the chosen courses.
Students are motivated to prepare handbooks- focusing usage of
terminologies in their respective subjects. These compact handbooks are
regularly referred to by the students. In due course, the students learn the
terms in English and so the major handicap is mitigated.
Besides, special coaching in academic subjects, certificate courses under
Career Oriented Programmes enable them to cope with the programme of
their choice and complete it successfully.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such
as gender, inclusion, environment etc.?
A team of faculty is assigned with the task of sensitising the students to
promote gender neutrality, inclusiveness and awareness on environment
hazards. Anti-Ragging Committee, Anti-Eve teasing Committee, Women‘s
40
Forum and NSS organise Fresher‘s Day Celebrations, Welcome Party and
Greening the campus programmes to cultivate feelings of fraternity among
the students.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special
educational/learning needs of advanced learners?
Students‘ academic progress, right from the entry, is monitored. Classroom
interactions and performance in the weekly and internal assessment tests help
to identify the ―Advanced Learners‖. Additional learning materials and
special motivation make them to aspire for distinctions and university ranks.
They are encouraged to exhibit their talents and to present papers in the
seminars and conferences organised by other colleges. They are motivated to
attend coaching classes and to face in competitive examinations.
2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze 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)?
Data analyses of students of various categories help the institution to identify
their needs and to provide necessary support services. Interaction between the
class in-charge teacher and students develop a rapport between them. Social,
economic and academic background of students who are at risk of getting
dropped out are analysed by the teacher, Head of the Department and the
Principal. Personal counselling, attention and support by the individual
teacher enable them to set clear and acheivable goals.
Dropout rate in the yester years is minimal. Girls who get married are also
motivated to continue their education successfully.
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 College Council and the IQAC prepare the semester-wise academic
calendar. The Principal and the Heads of the Departments plan the activities
which get approved by the Staff Council. Besides, each department prepares
its own academic schedule also. Completion of the allotted units, conducting
weekly tests, internal assessment tests and parent-teacher meets are
scheduled.
The teaching plan and evaluation blue print are prepared by the teacher who
handles that subject with the consent of the Head of the department. All the
plans are to be in conformity with the work schedule of the institution.
41
Evaluation process, as directed by the University, is informed to the students,
regularly. It includes,
 Commencement of periodical tests and internal tests
 Transparency in evaluation
 Marks / percentile score.
Transparency in evaluation promotes good rapport between teachers and
students and facilitates effective teacher - learner interaction.
2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning
process?
As a nodal unit of the institution, IQAC helps to improve the teaching learning process. Submission of self-study reports by the departments and
self-appraisal by the faculty help to analyse the performance of the teachers.
At the same time, IQAC helps to ascertain the learners‘ requirements also.
IQAC a facilitator, motivates the teachers to fulfill the requirements of the
learners. Ultimately, quality is achieved and sustained in teaching and
learning process.
2.3.3 How is learning 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?
Divergent methods are adopted to make learning, student-centric.
Interactive learning methods include preparing handbooks, learning materials,
group-study, group discussion, debates, role plays and workshops.
Collaborative learning practices include, field visits, participation in intercollegiate meets, seminars and conferences. Independent learning includes
library usage, internet browsing, home assignments and paper presentation.
2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and
scientific temper among the students to transform them into lifelong learners and innovators?

curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‗yes‘,
elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional
approaches to overcome these.
Completing the syllabus during the first semester for both UG and PG courses
is a challenge. But orientation and bridge course in the chosen discipline help
to overcome these challenges to certain extent. Special classes are conducted
during and after class hours.
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of
teaching learning?
The institute monitors and evaluates the quality of teaching – learning
through students‘ feedback, acknowledgement by the alumni for their
advancement in career, performance of the students in the internal and external

Teachers are motivated by the Heads of the Departments and the Principal to
follow learner-centric approach.
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 processes?
At the beginning of the academic year, the Principal convenes the meeting for
all Heads of the Departments to discuss the existing evaluation mechanism at
the College and the University level. Departments are instructed to adhere to
the University pattern, while conducting internal tests and model
examinations.
Students are frequently informed regarding the evaluation mechanism.
Examination Committee, constituted by both teaching and non-teaching staff,
is quite vigilant, about the rules and norms of the university. If any change is
made, it will be immediately informed to the teachers and students.
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?
As an affiliated College, reforms cannot be initiated on its own. But,
conducting model examination is the exclusive practice. Introduction of the
Semester under Choice Based Credit System, has made some changes in the
evaluation pattern.
 Objective type Questions under part A are introduced
 Viva-voce in Part II English is a part of internal examination
 Hall Tickets along with photographs of the student and Time-Table are
issued, since April 2015.
2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the
evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the
institution on its own?
Although the affiliating university has not contemplated major reforms in the
evaluation mechanisms, the College insists on making the evaluation
constantly.




Peer group evaluation
Conducting instant tests with objective type of questions
Tutorial sessions for language teaching
Question bank preparation and its application make the students to
learn and evaluate, at their level.
The College while adopting the evaluation mechanism of the university also
follows certain measures to firm up the system.
48
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment
approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few
examples which have positively impacted the system.
Formative assessment approaches help to measure the learning capacity and
requirements of students through constant monitoring, frequent tests and group
study.
Summative evaluation consists of Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA),
which includes assignment preparation, class seminars, class quiz, periodical
tests and end-semester examinations. CIA gives scope for close monitoring
and prepares students to appear end-semester examinations with more
confidence.
2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and
transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years
and weightages assigned for the overall development of students
(weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning,
communication skills etc.
As instructed by the affiliating university, the weightage given to internal
assessment is 25% i.e., 25 marks, 20 marks for tests performance and 5 marks
for submitting assignment or conducting class seminars. Internal tests help to
evaluate their subject knowledge periodically.
The internal assessment mechanism is transparent. The valued test scripts are
returned to students with remarks. If any grievance is noted, it is rectified by
the teacher concerned, with the permission of the Head of the Department.
2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/
affiliating university? How does the college ensure the
attainment of these by the students?
The institution moulds the inherent talents and skills of students. These
attributes enable the students to go beyond the technical knowledge and
become a transmitter of social changes.
With these objectives the college conducts various activities, curricular,
co-curricular and extracurricular. These activities reflect our goals and
objectives and also the core values of the higher educational institutions. The
yearlong academic activities planned meticulously are carried out assiduously,
thereby making the students confident and assertive.
2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with
reference to evaluation both at the college and University level?
Grievances relating to evaluation are taken care of. At the college level, if any
grievance is noted on internal assessment, the Heads of the Departments
redress it with the help of the course teachers.
49
At the university level, revaluation and retotaling can be carried out. A
photocopy of the valued answer script will be provided by the university. The
Principal and the External Examination committee take necessary steps and
forward the application of aggrieved students. Errors in valuation, total marks,
entry of internal marks in the mark statement, error in initial or spelling of the
name and wrong marking of absence are being rectified.
2.6.
Student performance and Learning Outcomes
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?
As an affiliated institution, the college follows the course-wise learning
outcomes, framed by the university. The Principal, Heads of the Departments
elaborate the expected learning outcome of their course programmes to their
teachers. Teachers, in turn explain it to their students and derive their
curriculum expectation, also.
2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the
progress and performance of students through the duration of the
course/programme?
Provide an analysis of the students
results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years)
and explain the differences if any and patterns of
achievement across the programmes/courses offered.
Class tests, internal tests, model examination, end-semester examination,
submission of assignments and conduct of class seminars help to monitor the
performance of the students. It is communicated to the students as well as to
their parents. Parent-teacher meetings are regularly conducted to intimate the
performance of their wards.

The Principal conducts result review meetings and enquires the reasons for
poor performance. Subject teacher and Head of the Department are instructed
to monitor the fluctuation and adopt appropriate methods to make learning a
rewarding exercise.
2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the
institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the
intended learning outcomes?
The achievement of learning outcomes is facilitated by following different
measures. To implement the specific intention of an academic programme, the
institution has structured its various strategies, as detailed below\;
 Constant monitoring of the academic progress of learners with
different degrees of intelligence
 Personal care, simplified coaching
 Peer group teaching
 Group study and group work
 Facilitating the advanced and average learners to excel themselves and
the slow learners to clear the examinations
 Sustained efforts of the teachers show that the level of slow learners
has been minimised to a great extent.
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
developed among students etc.) of the courses offered?
The College takes initiatives to enhance the employability of the students, and
makes them socially conscious. It develops research aptitude among students.
The UGC funded Career Oriented Programmes are socially and economically
relevant. These courses make the students to be more innovative. A course in
―Rubber Technology‖ is soil oriented and motivates to develop their
scientific approach in developing latest technology in this sector. Certificate
Course in ―Entrepreneurship‖ promotes self-employment skills and
introduces new avenues in career opportunities. Socially and economically
relevant courses are introduced as short-term certificate courses.
Besides, co-curricular activities and extension activities nourish the innovative
ideas of the students.
2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student
performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and
overcoming barriers of learning?
By acquiring various skills and knowledge, students should have experienced
the transformation and their level of scholarly attainment.
51
Class room interactions, informal meetings and students‘ feedback are helpful
to analyse the learning outcomes. Students rightly indicate the areas where
more focus and concentration are required.
These data help to identify the difficulties of the students in the learning
process and make appropriate changes in the process. Finally, these efforts
help the students to overcome the barriers and complete the course
successfully.
Academic mentoring, constant academic support, personal counselling, course
enrichment activities, rejuvenating the activities on the campus for holistic
development of the personality of the students are the highlights of the
measures adopted by the College.
2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of
learning outcomes?
Learning outcomes are monitored right from the class rooms. But, its radius
goes beyond the class room- on the campus and off the campus too. The
alumni, the parents and the community also give remarks about the attainment
of knowledge from the College.
All our support services - personal, academic and financial - enable the
learners to attain learning outcomes. Curricular, co-curricular, extra-curricular
and extension activities mould the entire personality of the students. Our
mission statement
―Educating the ground reality and
Empowering to Emerge as an Ideal citizen with
Sustained Skills and Values through
Quality Education‖
reflects our concern for learning outcomes.
2.6.7
Does 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.
Yes. Students‘ performance is assessed at various stages with the help of the
Department Staff, Heads of the Departments.
Earlier, UGC supported remedial programme was conducted for the needy
students from the deprived sections of the society. Although, this scheme is
not funded during the present Plan Period, the College has planned another
method for providing academic mentoring to the students of mixed groups
with different degree of intelligence. Academic proficiency of the students is
traced right from their entry into the campus. Constant monitoring and
persistent efforts by the teachers help the students to overcome their
difficulties in the learning process and complete the course of study
successfully.
52
Similarly, inherent talents of the students in various fields are also traced.
Consistent training and encouragement nourish their talents and help for their
bright future.
For instance, Talent Scanning Process in academics and non-academics is a
technique used by the institution and the individual teacher to evaluate student
performance and to plan new strategies to achieve excellence in all their
activities.

Ours is a state-aided affiliated institution. Our student friendly attitude,
moderate fee structure and the innovative pedagogy attract students from the
marginalised groups, especially from the rural areas who have completed
school education in their mother tongue. The medium of learning in English is

graduates and employers, to improve the performance and
quality of the institutional provisions?
Feedback Mechanism helps to modify and improve the existing mode
of functioning
Feedback on Campus Experience is collected from the outgoing
students and alumni
During parent-teacher meet, opinions are collected from the parents
Students‘ performance appraisal is collected from the employers
during or after the recruitment drive and trainings. Reasons for the
average performance of the students are analysed by interacting with
the students and the employers
It helps to improve our performances.
5.3.4
How does the college involve and encourage students to publish

 Objective Type Questions Bank
 Albums on exclusive topics by using news clippings
 Model layout of the News Paper
5.3.5
Does the college have a Student Council or any similar body?

Yes. Students‘ role in governance is in practice. Students‘ Council is headed
by the Chairman. Other members are, the Secretary, Student Co-ordinators of
106
various Clubs and Associations. The Chairman and the Secretary are elected
by the students.
With the support of the staff co-ordinators of the Clubs and Associations,
these office-bearers organise the activities. And thus, they earn skills in
organising programmes, coordinating different elements and get leadership
quality. They serve as a bridge between the students and the principal and the
staff.
All the above activities are funded by the College Management.
5.3.6
Give details of various academic and administrative bodies that

5.3.7
How does the institution network and collaborate with the
Alumni and former faculty of the Institution?
Being the prime stakeholders, the alumni serve as our ambassadors, mobilise
the public support and propagate the noble objectives of the institution. It is
the main factor that attracts the students from many places.
The President, the Secretary and the Principal participate in the meetings
convened by the Alumni Association. Generally Alumni Meeting is held on
the premises of the college. Seven of our staff members are the alumni of the
Institution and their loyalty and accountability to the Institution are
unflinching.
The institution solicits the guidance of the former faculty of the institution
while introducing new academic programmes. Department members seek
their help when the subject is revamped. Former faculty members are
honoured as the Resource Persons, special invitees for exclusive programmes.
And thus, their knowledge, experience and guidance are utilised by the
College.

CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT
6.1
Institutional Vision and Leadership
6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on
how the 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
Mission : Educating the ground reality and empowering to emerge
as an ideal citizen with sustained skills and values
through quality education.
Our motto, ―ciog;;Ng caHT‖ - ―Work is Worship‖
explicitly expresses the distinctive characteristics of the Institution.
This sublime statement is embedded in our College Crest and our motto is the
quintessence of the exemplary life of the late Thiru. Pioneer S. Kumaraswamy
in whose sacred memory this college has been established.
Distinctive characteristics of the Institution are widely depicted in the college
emblem.
 Goddess Saraswathi is symbolically shown as the Light of Wisdom
 The Lighted Lamp with steady flames reveals the perception of
Knowledge with controlled application of senses
 The Arrow in the bow indicates the concerted efforts in acquiring
knowledge
 The Temple Tower, as a symbol of heritage aims at reaching the
heights of human dignity
 The Swan symbolises the repose of the infinite as distinguished from
the restlessness of the individuals.
And thus, our goal
―Knowledge enhancement through sustained efforts carves an individual
as an Ideal Citizen with values and converts him / her as a contributor‖
lies in the fulfillment of the distinctive characteristics of the Institution.
Our Vision and Mission define our approaches towards the upliftment of the
marginalised sections of the society and the youth from these sections.
Our campus enrichment activities demonstrate our rich academic tradition and
thus define the Institution‘s culture.
6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in
design and implementation of its quality policy and plans?
108
The enlightened College Management has provided participatory
administration and ensures designing and effective enforcement of quality
policy.
Our Founder President Dr. K. Padmanabhan, propelled by his strong desire to
empower the under-privileged in and around Nagercoil, conceived the idea of
establishing this college in Nagercoil. By offering educational services to all
without discrimination, Dr. K. Padmanabhan helped hundreds of poor families
to earn a dignified livelihood in the region.
Er. P. Kumaraswamy, the illustrious son of Dr. K. Padmanabhan who has
stepped into his shoes is keen on turning out employable and socially
conscious graduates from the institution.
The faculty members of the College with the guidance of the Principal design
quality programmes which are intellectually stimulating. Quality is not
compromised in teaching and research. Extension activities are oriented
towards community service. And thus, quality at every level is insisted and
thereby provided to the courses taught.
The hallmark of the institution is the collective functioning of the
Management, the Principal, the faculty, the administrative staff and students.
6.1.3

What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring :
the policy statements and action plans for fulfillment of the
stated mission
 formulation of action plans for all operations and
incorporation of the same into the institutional strategic plan
 Interaction with stakeholders
 Proper support for policy and planning
through need
analysis, research inputs and consultations with the
stakeholders
 Reinforcing the culture of excellence
 Champion organizational change
The involvement of the Management ensures fulfillment of the mission
statement and the stated vision. Being a non-profitable institution, the College
seeks to achieve academic excellence by improving the physical and virtual
facilities on the campus. Decentralisation of administrative authority is the
striking feature of the institutional strategy.
Interaction with students, alumni, parents and external academic experts is
insisted.
The College Management conducts periodic reviews of performance for
improvement and provides seed money for conducting students‘ need based
activities.
109
Code of conduct, dress code, indigenous practices are strictly followed. The
involvement of the college committee members ensures that the tradition of
the institution is maintained.
The President of the College Committee, the Secretary and the Principal set
themselves as the role models while championing organisational changes.
6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and
evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective
implementation and improvement from time to time?
The IQAC helps the Principal for effective internal co-ordination and
monitoring. Submission of reports by various associations, forums, and
feedback of the students help to monitor and evaluate the effective
implementation of the programmes planned.
Staff meeting, meeting with Heads of the Departments are conducted
periodically to moniter the performance. Submission of Self-Study Reports by
the Departments help to review the activities of the Departments and
suggestions are given for improvement by the Management and the Principal.
6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by
the top management?
Academic leadership is vested with the Principal. He is assisted by the College
Council, IQAC and the Heads of the Departments. The faculty members
execute their academic responsibility such as, teaching methods,
commencement of internal tests, model examination, academic mentoring,
evaluation pattern, parents‘ meet to convey the academic progress of their
wards and class room learning techniques that are closely monitored by the top
Management.
6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?
Activities of the Institution are streamlined with the help of the Committee
System. Clear identification of the area of interest helps to allocate various
duties to the teachers. They are nominated as conveners or members of
Forums or Clubs. Heads of the Departments assign duties to one of its
members, as teacher-in-charge of the Department Association to conduct
student-oriented activities. Thus, as the conveners or members of Forums, they
plan the activities for the year and execute them successfully. Students‘
Secretaries are also nominated. This efficient internal Committee System helps
to groom leadership at various levels. The faculty and the students gain
organising skills also.
6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide
operational autonomy to the departments / units of the
institution and work towards decentralized governance system?
110
Decentralised governance is envisaged by defining the responsibility of
everybody and communicating it to each one of the institution for effective
execution.
Responsibility for conducting programmes of the Departments is delegated to
the Heads of the Departments with the implicit support of the colleagues.
Library, Associations and Clubs are provided operational autonomy to work
effectively. The Principal guides the faculty members to comply with the
objectives of the quality policy formulated. This networking system leads to
decentralised governance with operational autonomy to the Departments.
6.1.8 Does the college promote a culture of participative
management? If ‗yes‘, indicate the levels of participative
management.
Participation of employees in decision making has been improved:
 The College Council, with Heads of the Departments as its members,
resolves and takes decisions in all academic matters.
 Forming purchase committees to utilise the UGC grants
 Monitoring the implementation of UGC funded schemes
 Conducting model examinations
 Declaring holiday, if necessity arises
 Finalising working days to compensate the loss, if any
 Deciding students‘ activities.
Internal Quality Assurance Cell
 IQAC devises the Action plan and instructs all the associations and
clubs to organise their activities in line with the objectives of the
institution
 Constant monitoring and reviewing are freely undertaken by the IQAC
 IQAC collects opinion and feedback from the students to ascertain the
needs of the students.
Library Advisory Committee
 Organising Book Fair in collaboration with publishers, purchasing
new books, subscription/ renewal of journals are decided by the
Library Advisory Committee
 Providing support services to cater to the needs of the users regarding
library resources.

111
College Committee

The Principal, two senior faculty members are the members of the
College Committee. They attend the meetings and take part in
decision making.
Admission Committee

Admission Committee is authorised to admit students according to
government reservation rules. The Committees‘ opinion regarding
the demand ratio in some disciplines has helped to get additional
seats from the Affiliating University.
Students‘ Council

Students‘ Council decides its activities with the consent of the
representatives of all classes. They decide their department fests,
cultural events, and educational tour. Their request to change the
working hours of the College has been implemented by the
Institution.
Disciplinary Committee

Disciplinary Committee‘s decision on misconduct and undesirable
behaviour of the mischievous students is final.
 Besides, departments and associations can finalise their schedule of
activities on their own accord. Date of commencement, visits of
external academic experts and dignitaries are decided by the Convener
of the respective association
 Administrative staff can decide on their work schedule and allotment of
additional works during the time of admission and University
Examinations. Senior Assistant is a member of the College Council and
so he can voice the opinion of the administrative staff.
And thus, participative management is promoted at all levels. It lessens the
administrative burden of the Management and quickens the process of
execution. This decentralised governance system promotes leadership quality
also.
6.2

programmes, refresher courses, seminars, conferences and workshops. The
profile of the teachers are widely publicised through our website and
Newsletter.
Research and Development
Organising interaction with reputed academicians encourages the teachers to
undertake projects from funding agencies. This creates an atmosphere for
pursuing research on the campus.
Community engagement
Community oriented activities strengthen the bond with the neighbourhood
areas and society. It gives practical knowledge too.
Human Resource Management
The Principal with wholehearted support of the management plays the role of
a mentor and facilitator for the availability of human and financial resources.
This ensures multiple academic activities on the campus.
Industry interaction
The institution is vigilant in knowing the latest requirements of the industry
and the students are taken to industries/factories to gauge their man power.
6.2.5 How does the Head of the institution ensure that adequate
information (from feedback and personal contacts etc.) is
available for the top management and the stakeholders, to
review the activities of the institution?
Being an ex-officio member of the Board of Management, the Principal keeps
the College Committee informed of the day to day development on the
campus.
He collects information from the Heads of the Departments, the faculty, the
administrative staff and the students. Meetings with various stakeholders help
him to update and review the needs on the campus. Through personal contacts
also, the President and the Secretary collect information and review the
activities of the College.
6.2.6
How does the management encourage and support
involvement of the staff in improving the effectiveness and
efficiency of the institutional processes?
Activities of the Institution are streamlined with the help of the Committee
System. The Management encourages the involvement of the staff to improve
the efficiency of the institutional processes.
 College Committee, College Council, Staff Association and IQAC

Members of the non-teaching staff are encouraged to improve their
academic qualification and soft skills. For example, Mr.V.Thanu Pillai,
Senior Assistant has updated and obtained M. A., M. Phil., CLIS
degrees
Absorbing management appointees into regular staff is an incentive
scheme for their involvement and dedication.
And thus motivation, involvement in decision making bodies, creation of
conducive environment are the main measures adopted by the
Management to involve the staff in improving efficiency of the
institutional processes.

relationship with our staff and students. Students‘ Union, Anti-Ragging
Committee, Anti-Eve teasing Committee, Women‘s Forum and Student
Discipline Committee look into the grievances of the students and redress
117
them. Staff can represent their grievances either to the Principal or to the
Secretary and solicit their intervention for a solution. An enviable stakeholder

the staff members.
6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff
to evaluate and ensure that information on multiple activities
is appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.
Self-appraisal method is followed. The Joint Directorate of Collegiate
Education requires the teachers to submit the self-appraisal report for a
teacher‘s promotion to the next cadre. The institution collects it every year and
evaluate the performance of the teacher with the help of the Head of the
Department.
The self- appraisal form includes
 Contribution to Curriculum enrichment
 Teaching Methodology
 Research Activities
 Contribution to enrichment of campus life
 Contribution to community services

academic activities and publishing of research findings.
This comprehensive self-appraisal helps both the institution and the individual
teacher to analyse their strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities they
have for further development.
6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal
reports by the management and the major decisions taken? How
are they communicated to the appropriate stakeholders?
Performance appraisal reports help the Management to realise the real
contribution of the staff towards the institutional growth. The review is not
used to victimise the teacher but to advise him/her to improve the
performance. Appreciation of the service rendered by the teacher encourages
others to emulate.
6.3.5 What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non
teaching staff? What percentage of staff have availed the benefit of
such schemes in the last four years?

efficient use of available financial resources?
The UGC grants for the plan periods are availed promptly by sending the
utilisation certificate in time. The Management strictly monitors the utilisation
of the budgeted money and payment of fees on time. The offices, both regular
and self-financed monitor the fee collection and make sure that there is a
minimum due. Due dates are informed to the students well in advance. The
available financial resources are well allocated in such a way that the
institution makes payments without giving any scope for complaints. This
approach helps for prompt distribution of salary to the teaching and nonteaching staff (Management and self-financed stream) and for the building and
maintenance of the infrastructural facilities.
6.4.2 What are the institutional mechanisms for internal and external
audit? When was the last audit done and what are the major

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
1. Title of the Practice
ACADEMIC SCANNING AND ACADEMIC MENTORING
2. Goal
To assess, identify and cater to the academic needs of the diverse groups.
3. The context
The process of identifying and responding to the special needs of students
of various degrees of intelligents ensures the transformation of the
students.

Departments assess the academic proficiency of the students since their entry
into the institution. Their scores in the Higher Secondary Education
examinations are noted as the first step in the scanning process. Their socioeconomic profile is also analysed.
127
Class tests and first internal tests are taken into consideration and on that basis,
students are grouped. This scanning process helps to apply different mentoring
services. It differs from group to group and teacher to teacher. Constant
monitoring by recording the progress with necessary follow up measures help
to achieve the set objective.

 Students derive motivation to pursue higher education for better
prospects in life. Parents feel happy and thank the teachers for having
made transformation in their wards‘ attitudes in exuding selfconfidence and their conduct
 The Institution has succeeded in ensuring success in achieving
educational accomplishment for all disadvantaged groups.
Accommodating and promoting students of backward communities

2014‖, ―Business Communication‖, ―Career Opportunities‖, ―How to enter
into Services‖, ― Self Employment Schemes‖, ―Health and Hygiene‖, ―Civic
Responsibility‖, ―Human Rights‖, and ―Soil Oriented Values‖ are some of the
skill oriented subjects taken up for discussion in the recent past.
Activities include guest lectures, orientation programmes, workshops,
