2.6 Innovative processes adopted by the institution in Teaching and Learning

A Deanship of Academic Affairs was established to oversee all matters related to

teaching and learning, smooth and timely conduct of academic session, and to

devise policies for the overall improvement of teaching–learning process with the

aim of taking Integral University in the league of best universities, internationally.

The Academic and IQAC calendars were prepared and shared with the teachers

and students to streamline the academic and extracurricular activities as well as for

the timely conduct of examination, evaluation of answer scripts, and declaration of

results. All the activities were conducted as per the schedule to ensure that the

academic session remained on track.

A weeklong orientation programme for newly admitted students was conducted in

conjunction with an Alumni Meet to acquaint the students with the university

system and to motivate them with the success stories of alumni.

The evaluation scheme consists of two mid-semester tests, one make up test,

teacher’s assessment, which includes quizzes, assignments, etc., and attendance of

the students.

The different departments of the University organized national and international

conferences and workshops.

Guest Lectures, inviting speakers of eminence, were organized by all the

departments.

Events were organized to commemorate important days, such as National Science

Day, Earth Day, World Women’s Day, and International Yoga Day.

For efficient teaching, course files were prepared by teachers and audited by their

respective departments. Lesson plans and course coverage reports were also

prepared by the teachers and documented in the respective departments.

Teaching in each subject was supplemented by Google Classrooms and NPTEL

courses. Google classrooms were used for disseminating important study materials

and videos on relevant topics as well as for giving class assignments to the

students.

Different interactive methods of teaching, including case studies, brainstorming,

communication games and activities, focused group discussions, panel

discussions, role play, debate, and problem solving activities, were also adopted in

addition to classroom teaching.

For each course, a Whatsapp group was formed whose members were the students

and the teachers of that course. This group was used for speedy announcement of

notices and served as an interface for the members to interact beyond the

classroom and discuss topics and issues related to their course and curriculum.

A Whatsapp group of Class Representatives, Head of the concerned Department,

Dean of the faculty, Dean Academic Affair, and Pro Vice Chancellor was also

formed and used extensively to promptly assess and evaluate the progression of

teaching, timely and regular conduct of theory and practical classes, and other.

Industrial visits and Educational tours were conducted by the respective

departments to apprise the students of avenues of employment and scope of their

course.

Remedial classes, Mock tests for competition preparedness, and counselling

activities were conducted at the departmental levels.

to.

Several cultural and technical activities were conducted for the overall grooming

of students.

The university provides round-the-clock Wi-Fi Internet access to all the students

and faculty members for easy access to knowledge available over the worldwide

web.

The students and faculty members have access to several e-Journals and e-Books.

The faculty members were encouraged to participate in different conferences,

workshops, Short-term Courses, and Faculty Development Programs at national

and international levels to keep them abreast of the latest knowledge and

technologies in their respective fields.

Total Number of actual teaching days during this academic year: 181 Days

2.8 Examination/Evaluation Reforms initiated by the Institution

The salient features of the examination/evaluation process that the university strictly

adhered to were as follows:

The university successfully adhered to its academic calendar with regard to the

conduct of mid-semester and end-semester examinations, evaluation of the answer

scripts, and declaration of results. The timely completion of the academic session

has been a policy of the University that is very strictly implemented and is

instrumental in helping the students to prioritize their goals in a time-defined

manner.

All the administrative work related to the conduct of examination, dissemination

of examination notices, printing of admit cards, compilation of results, and

preparation and printing of Mark sheets and Degrees is computerized.

The panels for external and internal examiners were prepared and approved by the

Board of Studies of each Department.

The setting of about 50% of the end-semester papers was done by external

examiners.

Evaluation of students was based on both Continuous Assessment (Internal) and

End Semester Examinations (External). In CBCS courses, the internal and external

assessments are assigned 40% and 60% of the total marks, respectively, for the

theory papers and 60% and 40%, respectively, for the practical examinations.

The internal assessment judged the continuous progress of the students based on

their performance in tests, quizzes, seminars, assignments, etc.

The University introduced a new approach of preparing comprehensive Question

Banks, for mid-semester tests, for each subject covering the entire syllabus. This

approach was implemented on an experimental basis to assess its efficacy in

preparing the students for different formats of questions used in competitive

exams, to instil the habit of referring to textbooks, reference books, research

papers among the students, and to wean them off the practice of learning by rote.

The average time taken by the University for the declaration of examination

results was 15–30 days.

The university adhered to its policy of showing the copies of mid-semester and

end-semester examinations to students before the declaration of the final results.

Integral University, Lucknow Page 16

This policy has proved to be helpful for students in assessing their mistakes and in

scrutinizing the evaluated answer scripts for inadvertent discrepancies. Moreover,

it renders sanctity to the process of evaluation of students, to their satisfaction.

2.9 Number of faculty members involved in curriculum restructuring/revision/ syllabus

development as member of Board of Study/Faculty/Curriculum Development

workshop

The Board of Studies consists of almost all the faculty members of the individual

departments and it is involved in curriculum restructuring, revision, and development of

syllabus. The process involves brainstorming, discussion, evaluation of feedback from

different stakeholders, assessment of the contemporary trends in academia and industries,

and consideration of the opinion of eminent experts. Any change that is to be made needs

sequential approval of the Board of Studies, Faculty Board, and Academic Council. The

constitution of each of these bodies is detailed below.

Initiatives of the IQAC in Sensitizing/Promoting Research Climate in the

Institution

A Deanship of Research and Development was established, with the aim of

streamlining the implementation and management of research projects.

The practice of rigorous evaluation of the progress of Doctoral students was

strictly adhered to, through six-monthly meetings of the Research and

Development Committee, which comprises of an external eminent researcher in

the respective field among other members.

The Ph.D. ordinance was revised as per UGC regulations 2016.

To enhance the quality of research publications, the office of Dean, Research

and Development reviews the manuscripts for publication, assesses the journals

in which they are intended to be published, and then issues a Manuscript

Communication Number. The procedure also takes into account plagiarism and

copyright issues.

A list of reputed refereed journals was prepared as per the directives of the

UGC.

The research atmosphere in the university was aided by organization of

different seminars, conferences, and workshops with full administrative and

monetary support from the University.

New research labs became operative in the IIRC with major infrastructural

support from the university.

A proposal for funding was submitted to DST under the FIST scheme by the

Department of Bioscience.

For forging international research collaborations, nodal officers were appointed

from among the faculty members who will explore avenues for research

collaboration with their peers in USA, Germany, UK, Australia, Sri Lanka, and

Saudi Arabia.

Research collaboration among the faculty members of Integral University and

other prominent institutes was promoted, for example, through co-supervision

of research scholars enrolled for Ph.D. degree in the Integral University.

The data regarding the papers published, conferences/workshops attended, and

patents filed by the faculty members were collected online through the AQAR

portal.

ANNEXURE-I

Online Student Feedback Mechanism

The context

The opinion of students is paramount in improving the teaching–learning process in the

University. In this regard, obtaining genuine feedback of students, without any fear of

retribution, is crucial. The University has devised effective feedback mechanism, in

compliance of the guidelines of NAAC. The process has been immensely helpful in the

evaluation of teaching and in identifying areas of improvement.

Objectives of the practice

The students’ feedback is taken by the IQAC with the following objectives:

1 To ensure students’ contribution in planning and various activities as per their requirement.

2 To monitor the academic and research activities and ensure their continual improvement.

3 To get new ideas and suggestions from the students.

4 To perform department-wise analysis of teaching and research and determine the quality on

the parameters prescribed by NAAC.

5 To identify difficulties and shortcoming in administration and apprise the higher functionaries

of the University.

The practice

The IQAC has made prepared separate feedback forms for students, academicians, and other

stakeholders. The feedback of students is collected online using the software developed by the

University’s Software Development Cell, whereas the other feedback are taken manually.

1 The feedback of students of the different departments in each course and from all the batches

are taken through a questionnaire available online through the University LAN.

2 The schedule for filling the feedback form is informed to the students through emails and

through their respective course coordinators.

3 To ensure that all the students fill the feedback form, they are given their admit cards for the

end semester examinations only when they have completed this task.

4 For filling in the feedback forms, the students access the online portal using their unique login

credentials.

The special features of the software used for collecting the students’ feedback are as follows:

1 Direct access of the feedback to the Vice Chancellor, Pro Vice Chancellor, Director, IQAC,

and the respective HODs. The feedback is also made available to all the faculty members.

2 Confidentiality of the collected data.

3 Department-wise analysis of the data and rating of the departments on set parameters.

Provision for analysis of the cumulative data at the university level. A report of this analysis

is attached with this annexure.

4 The feedback of the concerned faculty member is given through the EMS.

Obstacles faced, if any, and strategies adopted to overcome them

The feedback system has gained acceptance among the students and the faculty members and

no obstacles are encountered in its implementation.

Impact of the practice

1 The feedback provides important information to assess the teaching efficiency of individual

faculty members and the overall performance of different departments.

2 Because of the anonymity of the process, genuine feedback is obtained that helps in

developing strategies for further improvements.
