2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the Institution to review the admission process

and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’, then what is the outcome of

such an effort, and how has it contributed to the improvement of the

process?

Yes, there is a mechanism in the Institution to review the admission

process and student profiles annually. The Admission Committee has

been set up for this purpose (Ref. Pt. 2.1.1)

Outcomes and Improvements:

The Admission committee has taken care in giving equal

opportunity to all students who fulfill the criteria set out by the

University and this has influenced foreign students as well as

students from outside Karnataka state to take admissions.

The admission process has been made more transparent by

allowing parents and students to visit the campus and speak to

respective faculty members and students at the College. Such

interaction builds confidence in the prospective student’s mind

before taking admission. Students from 50 countries are studying

and have studied at the College.

It was seen that parents wanted hostel facilities for their Wards and

this was a common query during admissions. Keeping this need in

mind separately the Institution has provided hostel facilities to boys

and girls.

The Admission committee has played an instrumental role in the

admission process, as a result of which Government of India is

sponsoring students to study in our Colleges through the Indian

Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).

Of late the trend is that students first aspire to take admissions for

professional courses and only the unsuccessful students came back for

B.Sc courses. The last date of University for admissions to UG

courses, denies admissions to such students who pass in the


supplementary examination as the last date of admissions to UG

Courses is earlier than professional courses.

These factors have contributed for low admission to UG courses. We

have been representing to Bangalore University for filing the last date

for admission around second week of August which helps to secure

more admissions.

2.2 Catering to diverse needs of students

2.2.1 How does the Institution cater to the needs of differently-Abled

students and ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?

The Institution takes due care when it comes to the differently-

2.2.2 Does the Institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge

and skills before the commencement of the program? If ‘yes’, give

details on the process.

The Students knowledge and skills are assessed based on their past

academic performance and core subjects taken. The results are a key

indicator to assess student’s needs in terms of knowledge and skills.

Following are the means by which student’s needs are assessed:

Academic Results of qualifying examination

Scores in the Entrance Exams (PGCET/CAT/MAT etc) for MBA

and MCA.


Interaction with admission committee before or during admission.

Medium of education over the years (eg.

Kannada/Telugu/Hindi/English/Persian etc.)

The University has specified the core subjects that students need to

have taken up in their PUC/UG for admission into various courses.

The Institution strictly adheres to these guidelines and counsels the

student to take up courses that suit subjects that they have studied

at PUC/UG. (Eg. Excerpt from the guidelines prescribed by the

University, “That the candidate has studied mathematics/Computer

Science/Business Mathematics / Statistics / Computer Applications

/ Electronics as a subject at the PUC level or equivalent HSC (X11

Standard) or at degree level is eligible for admission to the MCA

Course.”)

within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the

challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome

these.

The Academic calendar is received from the University before the start

of the subsequent semester. Based on the University calendar a

meeting is called by the principal and the Internal Calendar for the

semester is prepared. Since this is done well in advance there are very

few instances where the curriculum has not been completed in time.

Still, due to certain external reasons (like bundhs/strikes/ etc.) few

classes are missed, but this is compensated by taking extra classes etc.


2.3.11 How does the Institute monitors and evaluates the quality of Teaching-

Learning?

Monitoring Teaching Quality (Faculty): At the end of every semester

there is a faculty evaluation process that is carried out to assess the

faculty on certain criteria relating to teaching and learning. The

students are given questionnaires and are required to fill up details

relating to every faculty who teach them in the department the data is

collected, revealing the identity of the student. The data is collected,

analyzed and presented to the Management. Faculty members who are

lacking in certain areas are guided and counseled to make

improvements. Meetings are held by respective departments on regular

basis to take stock of the teaching plan and discuss certain issues

relating to faculty etc.

Monitoring Learning Quality (Students): The learning outcome is

monitored by regular Assignments/Internal Tests/Class

Interactions/Projects/Dissertations/Presentations/Competitions etc.

Students are monitored on a continuous basis so that slow learners can

be identified and given additional support in the form of extra

classes/mentoring/counseling etc.

current attendance and required assistance

can be given to weak students

2

Internal Assessment and Test Marks

displayed on the notice boards and

given to students

Allows the students to analyse their

performance. Self assessment is possible

3 Holistic Evaluation

Students are evaluated in all spheres and

this build a feeling of responsibility

towards society and Nation

4 Preparatory Examinations Helps students to prepare for the Final

Examinations

5 Mock Viva-Voice Helps students to perform better in their

Viva-voice at the University level


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?

Evaluation Reforms of University and College

The University has specified that students need to be assessed not only

through their written and practical examinations, but also through –

Assignments, Presentations, Projects, Dissertations,

Industrial Visits, Group Discussions, Class Participation, Participation

in Seminars/Conferences/Workshops

The Institution has taken important steps in implementing the Internal

Assessment by:

Making Assignments compulsory

Holding Internal/Preparatory tests

Organising Industrial visits

Encouraging students to participate in

Seminars/Conferences/Workshops

Supporting students to present research papers

Holding Group discussions and presentations in class

Guiding students in their projects and dissertations

Holding competitions

Taking up research work from industry

Completing the syllabus in time

Guiding students on the pattern of the Questions as framed by the

University

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches

adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which

have positively impacted the system.

Formative evaluation approach is followed when the students and

faculty intend to continuously develop their knowledge and skills. This

is a continuous improvement process. Few examples are cited below:

Industrial Visits are undertaken which make the students aware of

the current changes in the industry

Projects and Dissertations are undertaken by students and are

evaluated to assess their research and analytical skills

Participation in seminars and Workshops


Class Participation in debates and Group discussions

Participation in competitions (business plan/advertising etc)

Summative Evaluation takes place at the end of a session (semester). It

is used to assess the student’s knowledge in subject matter that he/she

has acquired during the semester. The summative evaluation includes

the following:

Written Tests (Internal)

University Examinations (external)

Viva-Voice

Practical examinations

Project Works

The summative evaluation provides a systematic approach for the

student to move ahead in his academic career and keep a record of the

same.

Examples:

Formative Evaluation:

Projects and Dissertations have greatly impacted the system as

students have accepted this type of evaluation. It exposes them to real

life situations and they get a chance to experiment with the theoretical

knowledge that they have acquired.

Summative Evaluation:

Viva-Voice and Practical examinations has had a great impact on the

evaluation system. Students become more serious and are tested on the

application of their skill & knowledge.

2.5.5 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the

progress and performance of students through the duration of the

course/program? Provide an analysis of the student’s

results/achievements (Program/course wise for last four years) and

explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across the

programs/courses offered.

The Institution Monitors and Communicates the progress and

performance of students in the following ways:

Written tests (results displayed on the notice board). The results are

also discussed in class by respective faculty members. Students are

free to meet the teacher with regard to his or her performance


Assignments are given to students. The completed assignments are

checked by the teacher and feedback on improvement is noted in the

assignment book or discussed with each student.

Attendance: Students performance is monitored through their

attendance records. Every month the attendance details are

displayed on the notice boards

Viva-Voice/Projects/Dissertations are undertaken by students at the

end of semesters

8. A survey has been conducted on Dengue fever as an awareness

campaign by the Dept. of Microbiology. The details are as follows.

Effect of dumping of wastes on the increasing number of dengue cases

in and around Sanjaynagar area Bangalore – a survey report

Date: 11.12.2012

Survey conducted by: PG Dept. of Microbiology, Brindavan College

Dengue fever also known as break bone fever is an infectious tropical

disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever,

headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is

similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops

into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in

bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or

into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure

occurs.

Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquito within the

genusAedes, principally A. aegypti. As there is no commercially

available vaccine, prevention is sought by reducing the habitat and the

number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites.

The number of patients with dengue fever has increased in the last few

months in the City. The number of suspected cases visiting major

Government hospitals has also gone up, making it difficult for the

doctors to handle the sudden flow. Five patients, who tested positive

with dengue fever, were recently being admitted at the KC General

Hospital in Malleswaram.

Doctors in the city blame the rise in dengue cases to the deteriorating

hygiene in the city, mostly because of dumping of the waste, a major

problem in Bangalore. This has lead to breeding of mosquitoes at those

sites.

They found that 8.3 % of the individuals in that area had suffered from

Dengue Fever. They also informed the people about the necessary

precautions to be taken in order to avoid the incidence of the disease

which includes maintaining proper hygiene, separation of wastes, use

of mosquito repellents and mosquito nets, etc. They also shared

information related to cause of dengue fever, symptoms and treatment

for the same to those who were unaware of the fatality of the dengue

fever. Finally the students insisted that the residents should share the

information with others which will help others in adopting preventive

measures against the disease.

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

Sir M. Visvesvaraya declared "Industrialize the nation or Perish". A

country's growth is dependent on the industrialization as much as on

agriculture. Industrialization can be successful only if sufficient

Human Resource is available to work as Managers, Engineers,

Administrators, Financial experts, Marketing experts and Technicians.

To produce these people the basic requirement is education and

specialization which is provided by the institutions. Thus the

institutions have an utmost important role in supplying ethical and

socially responsible leaders, professionals, scholars, and citizens to the

society.


teaching-learning process with appreciable infrastructure and dedicated

faculty to provide the students value-based education and research with

exposure to practical learning for the yearend students to keep them

prepared to excel globally in the present day competitive world. Our

College is thus a leading institution in three equally valued and

interrelated missions of student care, education and research.

Our aim is to serve the interested students in their field of interest viz.,

Science, Commerce, Management or Computer Applications at UG &

PG levels as also the Research field. Secondly to create interest in

such students who are lethargic and dull, to pursue their studies: so that

we can be complacent of uplifting them. The tradition followed is that

there is no discrimination among the students or staff, based on their

caste, color or creed. All are treated alike. The future vision is to

make Brindavan College a top-class and preferred College.

6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design

Quality policy.

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?

Feedback from the departments, the pattern and percentage of results

obtained will be analyzed to see how effective the plans are. Reports

from the departments will be called, discussions will be held with the

departmental heads to know whether the policies are well-received by

the stake-holders or if there are any draw-backs. After evaluating the

staff. He identifies the potential and ability of each staff and assigns

responsibilities /work to them suitably.

Following this, the Departmental Heads are empowered to take some

of the academic activities in the department, as per the Time Table and

extract work from the administrative staff. In the process of

implementation of academic activities, the Departmental Heads are

empowered to form sub-committees to achieve the objectives. The

problems and issues related to development, infrastructure or student

matters are discussed within the department with the co-ordinators of

the Committees, those requiring management approval are submitted

to the Principal/Director to take up with the management.

6.1.6 How does the College groom leadership at various levels?

However intelligent an individual may be, he requires certain training

to adopt himself with the system of working in the College.

Whenever new teaching and non-teaching staff is recruited they are

subjects and policy matters and to achieve the set targets.

Responsibility is delegated to Principal/Director and Heads of


Departments. In turn Principal/Director conducts meetings with

teaching and non-teaching staff to discuss on the implementation

aspect.

The Departmental Heads conduct meetings in the Departments with

their Faculty and non - teaching Staff and decisions are taken which

are within their powers. The Minutes are recorded. A copy of the

Minutes is sent to Principal / Director for information.

Subjects which are common to all Departments such as working of the

Heads of Departments at Departmental Level. For a meaningful and

congenial working atmosphere the Departments will have different

Human Resource Management

Industry Interaction

Teaching & Learning

Apart from class-room teaching the students are given the benefit of

guest lectures by subject experts and industry experts, study tours,

industrial visits and activities of departmental clubs.

Research and Development

Bangalore University has recognized Brindavan College as a Research

Centre for Microbiology. Efforts are being made to get recognition

for Research Centre in Biotechnology which is under process. This

will imbibe lot of discipline in learning and quality in the academics.

This will encourage students and faculty to undertake research

projects.

Community engagement

The NSS unit is actively engaging itself in organizing many

community development programmes within the campus. It has

successfully organized Blood Donation Camps, free eye check up

camp and awareness programmes on the AIDS, Dengue fever, traffic

slogans etc.

Human Resource Management

The Secretary looks after the recruitment process. The requirement of

Faculty and non-teaching staff is received from the departments

through the Principal. The list will be discussed with the Chairman

and depending on the projected requirement given by the Departments

an optimal strength is worked out and then the recruitment process

starts.


Advertisements are released in leading news papers like Deccan

Herald, Times of India, Vijaya Karnataka etc and applications are

sought to be received through mail or post. After scrutiny of

applications, the eligible candidates are called for Demo & Interview

for Lecturers. Demo classes are taken by Principal, HoDs and senior

Faculties of the department. Interview is taken by a Committee

consisting of Chairman, Financial Controller and subject expert. The

selected candidates are given appointment orders specifying therein the

joining time.

Industry interaction

The Departments arrange industry visits to students and a minimum of

two faculty members accompany the students. Many industries and

labs really help students by taking them round their works and explain

the working, methods, clear their doubts/ questions which help

students to acquire first hand practical knowledge.

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?

We are following a kind of MIS system. The Departmental Heads

report to the Principal either in writing or orally depending on the

nature of information and in turn the Principal reports to the Chairman

in similar way. Meetings are also held to convey the decision of the

management down the line. While passing the information the

hierarchy is also followed.

6.2.6 How does the management encourage and support involvement of the

staff in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the institutional

processes?

This is activated by-

a) Participative management (meeting, discussions etc)

b) Decentralization of work

c) Formation of various committees for specific purposes.

6.2.7 Enumerate the Resolutions made by the Management Council in the

last year and the status of implementation of such resolutions.
