Whenever advertisements are released regarding the competitive examinations to be

conducted by TNPSC, Railways, Banks, UPSC, etc., a circular is issued to find out the

students interested in appearing for such examinations and to attend the training programme

conducted by Kovai Kalaimagal Academy for Competitive Examinations in the college

campus during all the weekends . Then the training is given as per the schedule prepared.

6.3.2 Teaching and Learning

6.3.3 Examination and Evaluation

6.3.4 Research and Development


Though the curriculum content is decided by the board of studies, approved by the Standing

Council on Academic Affairs and prescribed by the Bharathiar University to be followed by

the affiliated colleges, changes which are to be made in the syllabus in the form of inclusions

and deletions are suggested to the Board of Studies by the members of faculty of the

departments concerned according to the requirements of industries / employers. In addition,

certificate courses in the subjects which are in great demand are also conducted on the

request of the students.

Feed back is obtained from students during every semester immediately after first continuous internal assessment test. In case any lacuna is pointed out by the student, the concerned teacher is informed and guidance is provided for improvement. In case, the students point out any deficiencies in the curriculum content, it is discussed in the department meeting and if it is found relevant and necessary, the same is informed to the concerned Board of Studies with a request to incorporate the same in the syllabus so as to enable the students to be equipped with knowledge in the area of their study as required by the industry.

In case, the students are not satisfied the way in which a particular faculty handles a subject, that teacher is informed of the same and given guidance to change his method of teaching for better understanding by students.

Immediately after the first internal assessment test, the students are indentified under two categories namely, slow learners and fast learners, The slow learners are quizzed to find out their learning difficulty and accordingly additional coaching is arranged. For fast learners, guidance is given to improve their performance so as to aim for university ranks.

The conduct of the examination and evaluation of the internal assessment tests are done as per

the regulations and guidelines of the Bharathiar University since our institution is an affiliated

college. To improve the knowledge of the students and to prepare them to face the interviews,

online tests are conducted using multiple choice questions. The faculty members who do not possess M.Phil degree are compelled to register for M.Phil programme as early as possible and similarly those who have not acquired Ph.D qualification are also instructed to register for the same under a suitable guide.

The management encourages the faculty to present papers in seminars and conferences by meeting their registration and transportation costs. The faculty publishing an article in a reputed journal is also given a cash award of Rs.1000/-. The faculty completing Ph.D programme successfully is given a cash award of Rs.5000/- in addition to an additional increment in his salary and promotion to a higher cadre. The teachers are also instructed to prepare as many monographs as possible as prelude to publication of articles in the journals.

The research committee meets periodically, assesses the research activities and advises the members suitably.

6.3.5 Library, ICT and physical infrastructure / instrumentation

6.3.6 Human Resource Management

6.3.7 Faculty and Staff recruitment


As and when the syllabus is modified or restructured, the books required would immediately be purchased and added to the stock. Further, when new publications of books on the specific subjects are available in the market and rated as good by experts, such books are also added to the stock.

On the basis of the research activities by the research scholars new journals and magazines are subscribed depending on the needs. The Library is fully computerised and it is also a member of DELNET and IEEE which enables access to a large number of e- journals.

At the end of each academic year, the workloads for various departments are calculated and the faculty requirement is assessed for each department. The vacancies if any are filled up by selecting suitable persons through personal interview by a committee. Similarly the vacancies arising among the administrative staff are also filled up as and when required.

In the beginning of the academic year, a list of resource persons who have specialised in different areas is prepared by each department and finalized after getting approval from the management. According to the programmes planned for the academic year, their services are utilized.

After assessing the number of vacancies likely to be created, an advertisement is released

through dailies calling for applications from suitable candidates. The applications are

scrutinized and the candidates fulfilling the eligibility conditions are called for an interview.

The candidates are interviewed by an interview committee consisting of the Management

Representative, Principal, Dean, Head of the Department, a senior professor and the subject

experts. The candidates selected based on merit are appointed. The same procedure is also

followed for appointing administrative staff.

6.14 Initiatives taken by the institution to make the campus eco-friendly

Criterion – VII

7. Innovations and Best Practices7.1 Innovations introduced during this academic year which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the institution. Give details.

7.2 Provide the Action Taken Report (ATR) based on the plan of action decided upon at the beginning of the year


Already the campus is eco-friendly with thousands of trees and plants of different varieties. Further the use of plastics is completely banned inside the campus. Waste water is recycled and used for the plants and trees. Initiatives are taken to install solar system to meet a part of the power consumption. The class rooms are spacious with lot of ventilation and hence it has also minimized the power consumption.

1. Majority of the students who join our institution are from nearby villages and they belong to families pursuing agricultural avocation. Further, they have all studied in Government Schools in Tamil Medium and hence their English language proficiency is very poor. To improve their communication skill in English, small story books, containing stories mostly known to the students, written in English are distributed to the students and they are asked to go through the books and tell the stories in the class after about 10 days. This improves their vocabulary and to some extent their fluency in speaking in English.

2. A number of online tests in English and Mathematical aptitude are conducted with a view to train them to write such tests when conducted by companies visiting the campus, with confidence and come out successful.

3. The domain specific knowledge which is required to be possessed by students as per the requirements of most of the industries is assessed and accordingly training programmes or certificate courses, as the case may be, are conducted.

As planned at the beginning of the year, the following programmes were conducted:

1. All the Departments have inaugurated the students association and actively conducted many programmes to improve the attitude, skill and knowledge of the students.

2. The Department of English conducted seminars on “Essentials in English” and developing soft skills, training programme on “Listening Skills”, extension activity on “Spell Bound and Calligraphic display” for the students of the Government high school, Narasipuram and literary competitions such as “Spell Bee, Tell a Tale, Oratorical and Word Reading” for the students of the college.

3. The Department of Tamil conducted many competitions like drawing, composition writing, oratorical, singing, etc., for the students of the college and the prizes were distributed.

7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution (please+ see the format in the NAAC Self-study Manuals)


I.Title of the Practice1. Feedback and Class Committee Meeting

Immediately after the first CIA test, feedback is obtained from the students about the performance of teachers in the class. In addition, class committee meetings are also conducted with the representatives of various classes to know the difficulties and the requirements of the students. 2. Goal and the Context

The goal is to know the difficulties experienced by the students academically or otherwise and to alleviate the same.

Since the students come from different backgrounds their capacity to grasp whatever is taught in the class will also differ. Futher what is taught in the class by a few teachers may not be understood by the students. Also in the class committee meetings the students can express whether the facilities available in the campus and the books available in the library are adequate or not.This helps the Management to provide the facilities as required by the students.3. The Practice

Immedialtely after the first continuous internal assessment test, feedback is taken from a random sample of 30% of students from each class. The feedback is obtained on the basis of 10 aspects namely, subject knowledge of the teacher, clarity in explanation, audibility in voice , legibility in writing on the board, coverage of the syllabus, provision of course material, offering additional information not confining to only syllabus content, punctuality of the teacher, impartial nature, efforts taken by teacher to motivate the students and assistance and counselling rendered by the teacher. These aspects are evaluated by 5 point scale and average score for each aspect and the overall average are calculated for every individual teacher. When the overall average is more than 4 , such a teacher is considered to be a good teacher and if the score is between 3 and 4, he/she needs improvement. When the score is less than 3, such teachers are given counselling on the basis of scores obtained for individual aspects and instructed not to repeat the same performance in the subsequent semesters.

11. The Department of Commerce with Computer Applications (PG) conducted seminar on “ The Impact of e- Commerce on Society- A Global Perspective, a guest Lecture on “The Indian Accounting Standards ” and a workshop on “Tally” .

12. The Department of International Business (PG) conducted a seminars on “Business Ethics” and “Technical Factors in Share Market”, guest lecture on “Career Opportunities in Indian Logistics and Shipping” a personality development Programme and an extension activity for the students of Government Higher Secondary School, Kovaiputhur in making them understand the various bank proce dures and filling up Bank Challans.


After the answer sheets of first internal test are evaluated and returned to the students, class committee meetings are conducted by the Principal. A class committee consists of two top scoring students, two medium scoring students and two students whose scores are poor. In the meeting only these students and the Principal will be present. The Principal obtains information from these students about the coverage of the syllabus, whether there is any difficulty in understanding a particular subject and if so , the reason, whether the method of teaching adopted by the teacher is good enough , whether they have adequate learning resources and whether there are any other problems or difficulties other than academic matter . After obtaining such information, the HoDs are instructed to plan for action so that grievances expressed by the students are within a time limit.

4. Evidence of SuccessSince we gather information from the students about their class

room experience and difficulties encountered in the beginning of the semester, it becomes possible to counsel the teachers and guide them to improve in the areas wherever they have scored less in the feedback, there is a remarkable improvement in their performance during the subsequent semesters.

In the class committee meetings , since students interact with the Principal in the absence of HoD or any other Teacher of the Department, they feel free and express truly whatever difficulties or problems they experience academically and non academically, the Management is able to understand them and take immediate steps to redress whatever is their grievance.

5. Problems Encountered and Resources RequiredIn implementing the above process, no problem has ever been

encountered .

As far as the Resources are considered, the Management never hesitates in meeting the expenses from their own funds. Infact the Management is very happy in seeing that the students are happy in that their grievances are immediately redressed.

II. Title of the Practice

1. Finishing School Programme for Pre-Final Year StudentsFinishing School Programme of duration 3 to 4 weeks is conducted

for the first and second year students during their summer vacation.2. Goal and the Context

The goal of this programme is to make the students understand the various skills needed to be developed in them so that they become employable and get selected by the companies in campus interviews.


Since the college is situated in a rural area, majority of the students who are admitted to various courses, belong to the nearby villages and come from very poor family background, they lack communication skills in English, self confidence, interpersonal relationship, and Mathematical Aptitude. Hence to groom them and develop the above skills in them the Finishing School Programme is conducted during summer vacation for mainly the pre - final year students and the first year students on their request.

3. The PracticeIn the Finishing School Programme, HR personnel from

Multinational companies, Professional trainers and a few professors who have specialised in certain areas of training the students are invited. This programme is not compulsory for all the students. Only those who voluntarily come forward to undergo this training foregoing the vacation are admitted. They are trained extensively to improve their communication in English, Interpersonal relationship, Mathematical Aptitude, preparing their resume, fine tuning their personality, effectively facing the interview and active participation in group discussion.

4. Evidence of SuccessAt the end of the period of Finishing School Programme, a

remarkable transformation that has happened in the students is clearly seen. The students are able to break the barriers which prevented them from coming to the front and come on the stage, speak fluently in English facing the audience without fear or shyness or hesitation. Therefore it has resulted in majority of the students who participated in the programme are selected by the companies in the campus interviews.

5. Problems Encountered and Resources RequiredThough the students voluntarily come forward to under go this

training programme, after a few days some students do not attend the programme regularly on account of the fact that such students go for part -time jobs in the afternoon. Further we find it difficult to motivate a few students to actively participate since they are from very poor families and their confidence level is almost zero.

Resources required for conducting this programme are met from the own funds of the Management by meeting the expenses incurred towards providing the training material, meeting the expenses for travel, accommodation and honorarium of the trainers and resource persons and the other contingent expenses.

7.4 Contribution to environmental awareness / protection

7.5 Whether environmental audit was conducted? Yes No

7.6 Any other relevant information the institution wishes to add. (for example SWOT Analysis)


Environmental Studies is included in the curriculum as a separate paper with 2 credits. Hence the students are aware of the ways of protecting the environment.

Guest Lectures are arranged on environmental degradation and the measures to be taken for preventing the same and the role played by the students in such an action.

Awareness programmes are conducted by the students in the nearby villages on the factors responsible for environmental degradation, need for protecting the environment and growing more trees.

The use of plastics is banned in the institution. Waste water is recycled and used for trees and plants. Eco Club is functioning effectively in the campus in which students actively participate

in planting saplings in and around the college, in periodically cleaning the nearby Siruvani Hills and in creating an awareness about the evils of using polythene bags.

The strengths of the institution are

i. The enlightened management who have thorough knowledge on academic administration and who are eager to know and full fill the needs of students .

ii. The dedicated team of teachers who take all efforts to make the students employable by conducting various programmes for the development of soft and technical skills which reflects in a large number of students getting placement offers.

iii. Conducive environment suitable for the students’ academic pursuit.iv. Reputation of the institution which attracts many companies to visit the campus for

recruiting the students.v. Green Campus free from pollution

The weaknesses of the institution are

i The students coming from poor family background who have studied in Tamil Medium in Government Schools. ii Distance of the institution from the city.iii Students lacking motivation and self confidence.

The opportunities are

i A number of companies willing to visit the campus for campus recruitment on account of a number of training programmes conducted for the students but could not be accommodated because the period of their visit coincides with the period of examination.ii The possibilities of restructuring the curriculum to suit the needs of Industries when the institution is awarded Autonomous Status.

The major threat is that though a large number of women students are getting selected in campus interviews, majority of them are not permitted to join jobs as they are from rural background and their parents want to get them married as soon as they complete their studies.

Analysis of the Feedback from Stake holders

Regarding the curricular aspects, a few alumni are of the opinion that the syllabus should be thoroughly revised so as to give importance to the subjects according to the latest trends. But this point cannot be complied with since the institution is not an autonomous institution.

Similarly a few students are of the opinion that the subjects offered particularly in the computer science departments which have no relevance to the present day context should be removed from the syllabus and the subjects which are in demand should be included.

As for as teaching, learning and evaluation are concerned, a few alumni are of opinion that the teaching and learning should be more of interactive in nature than one way delivery of lectures. Group learning may be introduced for better understanding of the subjects. They also opined that ICT should be more effectively used.

The Departments have to conduct more number of State and National Level Seminars and Conferences so that the students will not only have more chances of presenting papers but also will enhance their knowledge in the subject and keep them abreast of latest developments in their area of study. By presenting papers facing the audience will also improve their confidence level and help them in shedding their shyness and fear.

The students have expressed their satisfaction with the present method of teaching and learning and they have not given their opinion regarding evaluation.

Students and alumni have expressed their satisfaction about the way in which they were all motivated in presenting articles in seminars and conferences. Some of the students who have passed out their PG courses have expressed that it was only the motivation by the staff which has made them to continue their research by joining M.Phil and Ph.D programmes. Regarding extension activities a few alumni are of opinion that more number of activities should be conducted for the benefit of the economically weaker section in the nearby villages.

Regarding infrastructure and learning resources both the students and alumni have expressed their satisfaction.

As far as student support services are concerned both the students and alumni have expressed their fullest satisfaction and they were all in praise of the efforts taken by the Management in making the students employable and getting them placement in reputed companies.
