A well concepted feedback system involving all the major stake holders provides an

understanding of the ground realities. On the basis of the relevant feedback guidelines are

framed for programme planning, making improvements in the teaching-learning process,

syllabus implementation etc. In updating and upgrading various methodologies and policies the

recommendations of the UGC, the NAAC, the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University,

statutory bodies are relevant.

Committees are formed on various relevant considerations. The faculty in consultation

with experts and guidelines from stake holders and students try to revise teaching methodology

and ensure it suits to the teaching learner centric aspects. The importance of preparing students

for life outside the campus and nurturing them for careers is an important consideration.
