cial Sciences and Education) and two Master’s degree programs (M.B.S and M. Ed). The campus runs morning and evening shifts. Currently, the campus has 942 students (as per the

record of campus dated 2076/11/19).

Plans and policies adopted by the campus are formulated by the campus management com-

mittee. Annual plans are approved by the campus assembly. The campus follows the curric-

ulum prescribed by Tribhuvan University. Besides, the campus has formulated some non-

credit soft skill courses to enhance students' practical skills. It conducts different extra activ-

ities through ECA committee to enhance students’ all round development. Research is an-other important part for the campus. It encourages faculties and students to conduct effective

research after providing research grants. The campus adopts innovative and modern teach-

ing and learning methodologies, approaches, and techniques. Each classroom is equipped

with cc cameras and multimedia projectors. Wi-Fi is accessible to every student and faculty.

Computers in library, departments, units, cells and lab are connected to internet. Students

and teachers can use the computers of lab.

nected to library access such as JSTOR, IMF Library, Oxford University Press etc. The

campus has become the member of NeLIC (Nepal Library and Information Consortium)

which provides some open access journals to the campus.

Research Management Cell (RMC) is functional. It helps to conduct research and encour-

ages faculties and students in research activities. Teachers are also actively engaged in re-

search activities. The students are encouraged in research oriented activities with the support

of RMC and the campus also provides grants to the faculties to conduct mini-research. The

campus has provision to support students to carry out research. Youth Red Cross Circle,

Students’ Quality Circle, Information Management Cell, Internal Quality Assurance Com-

mittee, Placement, Counselling and Student Support Cell, Exam and Practice Teaching

rooms. The rooms are spacious. The largest building accommodates offices of cells, units,

departments, and main office. It has fourteen classrooms; all equipped with multimedia and

CC camera.

The information process in the campus is systematic. Daily important information is dis-

played on electronic board. The information for the staff is written on a display board. In-

formation to the public is broadcast through local radios, newspaper, online, Facebook and

website. Admission notices and academic activities are disseminated through brochure, pro-

spectus, pamphlets, leaflets, hoarding boards, Facebook page etc.

In a nutshell, the campus is continuously upgrading its physical and academic strengths.

However, it is facing some major problems such as funds for infrastructure development,

funds for adequate research activities, faculty development etc. The institution hopes that

these all can be solved with more joint efforts of all the stakeholders in the days to come.

The effort to prepare this report and pace of UGC projects are the supportive endeavors to

enhance quality education and solve these problems. Thus, the campus is committed in the

process of achieving Quality Assurance Accreditation Certificate.

SSR Preparation

How is it understood?

NMC focuses on imparting quality education and perceives quality assurance as a regular

process. The campus took initiation for QAA process during Second Higher Education Pro-

ject (SHEP) and submitted LoI in 2015 to UGC but strong initiation was taken after the

campus was selected for Higher Education Reform Project (HERP) in 2017. As per the re-

quirement of QAA process, the campus has been engaged in preparation of SSR and docu-

mentation after the QAA orientation program organized in the campus with technical sup-

port from UGC, Nepal. After submission of the SSR in July 2018, a pre-visit team coordi-

nated by Prof. Dr. Mana Prasad Wagle visited the campus and recommended for further im-

provements. This report comprises the provisions and evidences made after and before the

preparatory visit to the campus. Peer Review Team led by Prof. Dr. Wagle visited the cam-

pus from 20th to 24th January 2020 for final assessment.

This SSR report is the reflection of the overall information of Nilkantha Multiple Campus,

Dhading Besi, Nepal. It contains academic performance, data, records as well as physical

development of the institution since its establishment. The report reflects clear picture of the


academic excellence of the institution which has contributed to the society by supplying

skilled quality manpower through its quality education.

Although this report is one of the important documents of quality assurance and accredita-

tion process, it is understood as valuable institutional document for NMC itself and its vari-

ous stakeholders. Since it contains very important information of academic performance of

the institution in the past, it enables the campus to analyze past and present performance for

planning better future.

The report has provided clear guidelines to the campus for formulating plans, policies, pro-

cedures and new academic programmes and guided the institution for effective implementa-

tion of the plan and policies. It has also facilitated the campus for launching and conducting

various academic programs to address the emerging need of the people of this district and

country. It has also contributed to highlight the name and fame of the campus in national

arena.

Formation of SSR Team

Initially, the campus had formed a Self Assessment Team (SAT) of five members and Yuba

Raj Subedi was appointed as the coordinator in 2016, the committee was reformed in May

2018 and Mr. Devi Prasad Adhikari has been given the responsibility as the coordinator.

The committee comprises following personnel:

1. Mr. Devi Prasad Adhikari Coordinator

2. Mr. Badri Prasad Koirala Member

3. Mr. Gakul Prasad Ruwali Member

4. Mr. Yuba Raj Subedi Member

5. Dr. Murari Adhikari Member

Since the formation of committee, it is dedicated to carry out various academic and other ac-

tivities as per the parameters of HERP and QAA to help quality enhancement of the institu-

tion. Mr. Bishnu Prasad Lamsal of Madhya Bindu Campus and Mr. Rajendra Bhattarai of

Makawanpur Multiple Campus have provided valuable suggestions for the preparation of

SSR and for quality improvement programs. The campus organized inter-campus visit pro-

grams for all teaching and non teaching staff including CMC members and student repre-

sentatives. The task team visited most of the QAA accredited campuses from Kailali Multi-

ple Campus to Mahendra Ratna Campus, Ilam before preparation of this report.

The good practices for quality enhancement have been brought into action. The team has al-

so involved the entire faculties departments and non teaching staffs through different com-

mittees and sub committees to conduct and facilitate various academic activities for the ob-

jective of academic quality improvement. Different committees have been formed for this

purpose.

Approaches

Different methods and approaches have been used by the team to complete the task of SSR

preparation and documentation. Followings are the major approaches used in this regards:

1. Visits

The SAT including campus family have visited 13 QAA accredited campuses before the prepara-

tion of SSR with objective of quality improvement and preparing staff for QAA process. The team

received very important suggestions from different campuses and also got opportunities to share

difficulties and challenges during the process. The team also visited UGC and followed invaluable

suggestions received from QAA officials.


2. Orientation

In the initial phase of QAA process, the campus administration invited experts (Prof. Dr. Hri-

dayaratna Bajracharya and Mr. Narayan Bhandari) from UGC to give orientation to SAT and all the

teaching and non-teaching staff including students' representatives and CMC. The team informed

all the staff about progress of SSR as required and guided all the committees for conducting neces-

sary academic activities in a systematic way. Similarly, the team organized many orientation pro-

grams for teachers, students and CMC members in order to acquaint them with the major tasks of

the SSR team and to maintain coordination.

3. Interaction and Discussion

The campus organized various interaction programmes with experts, guardians, teachers, non-

teaching staffs and students about the academic activities, QAA process and its documentation.

Numbers of meetings and discussions have been organized to gather suggestions and recommenda-

tions regarding quality assurance and entire SSR preparation process. The suggestions received

have been addressed in the whole quality enhancement programs and SSR preparation.

4. Experience Sharing

The campus invited Mr. Bachchuram Adhikari, the campus chief and Mr. Rajendra Bhattarai

the assistant campus chief and QAA task team leader of Makawanpur Multiple Campus to share the

experience of challenges, difficulties, documentation process and issues to be considered while pre-

paring SSR. The SSR team involved in interactions among the teaching, non-teaching staff, FSU

representatives, other students, CMC members, QAA task teams of different campuses. It was

much helpful to groom the entire team of the campus for quality accreditation process.

5. Validation

Different committees and sub committees formed by the campus have been carrying out

various academic activities. The committees submitted the reports of the programs they

have undertaken to IQAC, respective department heads and the campus chief. All the re-

ports were forwarded to SAT for verification and documentation. The SAT supplied neces-

sary suggestions to the concerned committees for amendment in the reports and copies of

amended reports have been annexed to SSR. For finalizing the SSR, the task team leader,

campus chief, administrative staffs and other officials worked collaboratively.

6. Recommendations

After submission of the SSR report to UGC, UGC formed a preparatory visit team. The

team coordinated by Prof. Dr. Mana Prasad Wagle comprised Mr. Gopal Acharya as a

member. The team visited the campus from 11th to 13th May 2019. It prepared a report with

recommendations on the basis of the criteria. The campus has taken steps in order to meet

the recommendations. It has tried to follow the recommendations absolutely. This report is

the consequence of the efforts guided and motivated by the team.

velops comprehensive programs and strategies and takes decisive roles to ensure quality edu-

cation through regular inculcation and feedbacks among the concerned stakeholders. The in-

stitution has the departments, units/committees and cells with their clearly defined job de-

scriptions that are monitored by the IQAC, the CMC and the campus chief. It is accom-

plished annually after analyzing self-appraisal, peer appraisal and student’s appraisal from the stakeholders. There is also the provision to collect feedbacks from different stakeholders.

The feedbacks are analyzed and considered by the respective bodies. The institution has de-

veloped comprehensive calendar in order to address the specified plans and policies. The rep-

resentative of the students has been ensured both in CMC and IQAC. Regarding the academ-

ic audit, it is working for its preparation. RMC has been working to connect research activi-

ties with teaching after persuading faculties and students through research orientation and re-

search trainings. Moreover the institution overtly ensures intensive participation in regional

national and international conferences to both the students and faculties.

CRITERION 2: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

The Campus has been running three programs in Bachelor level (viz. B.A., B. Ed. and

B.B.S.) and two Master’s degree programs (M. Ed. and M. B. S.). All the programs strictly follow the curriculum prescribed by the university, TU. Thus, the goals, objectives and

standard are maintained as per the courses. Electives and optional subjects are offered to

students according to their choice. There are different areas of study for the aspiring schol-

ars. Subjects are offered in order to address the dire need of market. The campus tries to be

flexible in time in which M.B.S. and all bachelor programs are run in the morning whereas

the M.Ed. program is run in the evening.

Extracurricular activities are the other areas of academic part of the campus. The students

are encouraged to actively participate in extracurricular activities. Those activities are har-

monious to their curricular facets. This helps to develop consciousness in the curriculum

they are studying. Basically, the activities are scheduled in the annual operation calendar. In

addition to this, some other activities are made to mark different occasions. Different com-

mittees and departments launch programs to create social, cultural and political awareness

among students and community. To impart different verbal and other skills and value based

knowledge, students are engaged in programs like quiz contest, elocution, debate, essay

writing, poem recitation. The campus conducts sports fair every year to aware them about

the importance of physical fitness and involve them in events. The campus has made an

agreement with District Sports Development Committee to use covered hall which is near

by the campus premises. Indoor sports activities are lunched there. It has run computer liter-

acy classes and financial literacy classes every year to the disadvantageous and needy stu-

dents.

Although the campus has planned to run the programs of Science and Technology and Med-

icine it has got some challenges. These are the needs of the communities. It has not devel-

oped sufficient infrastructures for this. It is still in need of wide financial support from the

local, provincial, national and international level. It should connect itself to the community

to give the sense of ownership.

SWOT Analysis of Curricular Aspects

Strengths:

All round development package for enhancing value based education

Follow programs and strategies as prescribed by TU curriculum

Running programs with predetermined academic plan, action plan and annual plan of

the institution

Operating programs on convenient time of students

Providing elective courses to the students of bachelor in education and management

streams

Practice of receiving constructive suggestions from the peers

Weaknesses:

Low participation of students in ECA

Minimum numbers of elective and specialization options in management stream

Only a very few number of civic responsibility related programs run by the campus

Opportunities:

Setting students’ and teachers’ code of conducts through interaction

Connecting research into teaching as guided by functional action plan


Providing syllabus based feedbacks to concerned authority of T.U.

Modifying students’ evaluation mechanism making it more scientific and practical Organizing short term courses on Excel training, SPSS training, Accounting training,

teacher development training

Threats:

Hindrance in students’ regularity in campus due to complex geographical locations

Lack of land for the extension of sports activities

CRITERION 3: TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION

The notices of admission are widely disseminated through local newspapers, online portals,

website, local radios, and T.V. Besides those, launching community campaigns, visiting

feeder schools, distributing brochures, prospects, leaflets and pamphlets, setting hoarding

boards, flex and banners and distributing academic calendar are the major activities that are

normally carried out to advertise the programs, procedures and policies of admission. Aca-

demic records and merits are the basis for admitting students. In the beginning of the cours-

es, every department conducts orientation classes to clarify the areas of studies, teaching

learning procedure, use of library as well as the courses students have to undergo.

Faculties are well experienced and qualified. In order to ensure quality and well-timed de-

livery, the teachers have to prepare teaching plans. They use monthly tests, unit tests, termi-

nal exams as the tools of formative evaluation. The test scores are analyzed subject wise by

the departments. HoDs are responsible to monitor overall teaching learning activities led by

the faculties and evaluate the processes and implementations that undergo. Reports of inter-

nal exams are prepared by the exam committee. The strategies and the recommendations of

departments and the exam committee are considered by the respective subject teachers.

Innovative methods, approaches and techniques; like paper presentation, field report, slide

presentation, case study are applied in the classroom for the effectiveness of teaching learn-

ing activities. The meetings are held to review the annual plans of the teachers periodically.

To increase students’ performance, they are given assignments and verbal presentation tasks. Teachers adopt modern technologies and methods to flip the classroom replacing tra-

ditional lecture method. Every classroom is equipped with multimedia projectors. Students

and teachers maximally use projectors for presentation of audio visual contents. Necessary

hands-out are provided to the students. Library is being strengthened every year to satisfy

the need of students, faculties and researchers. This will help to enhance overall quality.

Students’ performance is evaluated through different internal exams, class tests, monthly tests, oral presentations etc. The result is discussed intensively in the class with students.

The students give feedbacks to the teachers and examination committee. Further strategies

are formulated by the departments to improve the participation and quality of students. Extra

classes are also conducted as per the demand of the students and the status of the result in

internal exams. These practices have helped to increase the overall result and quality of stu-

dents especially in some major subjects.

Teachers’ performance is measured through their quality of presentation, result in final and

internal examinations and students’ responses. Teachers are selected through the procedures defined in campus statute to fulfill the vacant posts. The campus encourages the teachers to

participate in different workshops, seminars, trainings and discussions sending them with

incentives. Every year, overall result of different programs is analyzed in campus manage-

ment committee and campus assembly. The campus collects feedbacks from the stakehold-

ers to improve teaching, learning and evaluation procedures.


To attract scholars in wide range to this campus, it has promoted its faculties, infrastruc-

tures, and academic programs. It has been increasing its graduates and post graduate pro-

grams to meet the demands of the markets. It has introduced modern technologies in its aca-

demic programs.

The measurement of the success and failure of the institution depends on its result in aca-

demic exams. The result it has got is encouraging but it has travel miles ahead for the satis-

faction. Teachers, who are the pillars for inputs to the learners, thus, they need to be up dat-

ed and well prepared not only in their subject matter but also equally to the other activities.

Therefore, faculties should cultivate themselves as professionals being engaged in different

specialized activities like innovating teaching modalities and researching related areas. This

is the main focus of the campus.

SWOT Analysis of Teaching, Learning and Evaluation

Strengths:

Transparent admission process in the institution

Well defined procedures for recruiting and appointing new staffs

Guiding students analyzing record analysis and interviewing techniques

Provision of remedial classes to the needy students

Use of practical teaching plan by all faculties

Use of modern teaching techniques like use of multimedia, power point presentations,

project work, field visit, assignment

Opportunities for enhancing academic development of the faculties and staffs

Regular assessment of students performance

Weaknesses:

Problem in effective use of overall evaluation of students

Limited use of multimedia in classroom learning

Domination of lecture method in teaching.

Opportunities:

Introducing the new methodology to make teaching-learning activities effective

Bringing the evaluation system of the students and institution in modernized ways

like continuous assessment system

Having chances to establish linkage with international level

Threats:

Low enrollment of students in master level due semester system

Having imbalance between teachers and students’ ratio

Increasing ratio of full time faculties

Decreasing level of attraction of competent and experienced human resource towards

teaching profession

CRITERION 4: RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION

The campus takes research as the fundamental part of academic activity. NMC has set up

RMC with a functional office to coordinate all research activities of the campus. It plans and

encourages faculties and students to carry out research. The campus allocates certain budget

from its annual budget for RMC. Rs. 20,000 (twenty thousands) is provided to each faculty

researcher every year. Grants of Rs. 5000 and 3000 are given to master’s degree and bache-


lor degree students to fulfill their thesis respectively. Every year three students from master's

degree and three from bachelor's degree get this grants. Last year four proposals of the fac-

ulties were approved and they submitted final report. This year two faculties are carrying

out mini research under the guidelines and procedures of RMC. The research guidelines are

approved by IQAC as proposed by RMC. Currently, three teachers are pursuing Ph. D. and

two are pursuing M. Phil. The campus already has three M. Phil. and two Ph. D. faculties.

All research activities are coordinated by the research management cell (RMC). Seminars,

workshops, trainings are conducted to the students and teachers in order to carry out effec-

tive and rigorous researches. For B.B.S., B Ed. and B.A. students, workshops are organized

to help them carry out their project works and research.

To increase the area of research, the campus has been coordinating with Nilkantha Munici-

pality, Dhading Chamber of Commerce, Finance companies and other NGOs. The campus

has formed editorial board which has been publishing research journals. To promote the

quality of journal and research, academic writing workshops and seminars are organized.

Moreover, to facilitate faculties in handling B.B.S. students with their project works, three

days training was held last year with financial support of UGC. The campus has tried its

best to link research to the teaching learning activities in classrooms. The research manage-

ment cell analyses the research carried out in the campus and makes suggestions and rec-

ommendations to the teachers to apply the research findings in the classroom and elsewhere.

With all these efforts, the campus lacks research consultancy service and its extension. M.

Phil. and Ph. D. holder faculties are supporting for research activities. However, this has not

been sufficient to the extension of research works. The journal editorial board is planning to

publish the next volume fully as peer-reviewed journal but it is facing the challenges of get-

ting reviewers promptly. It has planned to create a review circle in order to review the re-

search articles. This is much a difficult challenge for the campus established in semi-urban

area. However, the campus aims to establish itself as a research centre.

SWOT Analysis of Research, Consultancy and Extension

Strengths:

Allocation of budget for research activities by the campus on regular basis

Formation of RMC in the institution

Valuing research task for faculties promotion

Publishing research based journals and exercising for peer reviewed journal

Ensuring students’ participation in research activities in collaboration with faculties

Motivating faculties to pursue M.Phil. and Ph. D. degree

Practice of providing financial incentives to the students to motivate them to enhance

quality of research from students' side

Involvement of the campus in extension activities

Weaknesses:

Less interaction among the teachers, students and experts for research activities

Less effective extension activities

No provision of paid leave for faculties to pursue M. Phil and Ph.D. degrees

Insufficient budget for research activities

Low number of faculties participating in research activities

Opportunities:

Promoting research activities following the guidelines as prescribed by UGC

Developing institution as the research centre


Working collaboratively with NGOs and other GOs like local and provincial level

government.

Chances of providing consultancy services institutionally

Threats:

Management of sufficient fund for the promotion of research works

Involving more faculties in research activities

Engaging faculties and students in extension and outreach activities

CRITERION 5: INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

The campus has prepared Master Plan for future expansion of the campus managing land of

its ownership. At present the campus has one three storied well-furnished building and other

three small buildings to run classes and use for administrative purpose . All the classrooms

are equipped with multimedia projectors and CC Cameras which facilitate to provide mod-

ern and quality education. There is no separate building for library and the area of current li-

brary is very limited and insufficient but separate library block is under construction. The

computer lab with thirty branded computers and internet connectivity has been recently es-

tablished which helps the students to think them in digital era. It has bright well-furnished

spacious meeting room and an office for the campus chief. The students get the facilities of

pure and clean drinking water, neat and clean separate toilets, neat and hygienic canteen and

lively garden with water fountain etc. Digital notice board has been installed that helps to

communicate important notice and information of the campus.

Various academic programs like Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Man-

agement, Master of Education and Master of Management have been running effectively.

National newspapers both in English and Nepali languages and local newspapers are availa-

ble in the library through which students can get fresh and current news, views and infor-

mation. The campus also publishes research journal named 'The Efforts, Journal of Educa-

tion and Research' from which interested scholars in writing research article are benefitted.

Mini department libraries in each department have been set up.

Faculties and students have access to e-libraries subscribed by the campus such as JSTOR,

other publications etc. Students can use computer lab as the e-library and faculties can use

lab as well as the computers in their departments.

Overall existing infrastructure is not adequate even for running the classes. It lacks funda-

mental learning resources to perform for practical learning such as language lab, mathemati-

cal lab, auditorium, seminar hall, theater etc. Cafeteria is another important aspect of cam-

pus for both students and faculties. This is also not sufficient. To expand academic pro-

grams, the campus needs to use its own land.

SWOT Analysis of Infrastructure and Learning Resources

Strengths:

Good physical infrastructure for teaching learning and other activities

Provision of maintaining infrastructures

Adequate number of projectors and computers

Availability of mini library in each department

Systematic use of library

Semi automated library

Weaknesses:

Not having hostel facility

Lack of adequate learning materials with valued reference materials


Constraint area for sports activities

Only one library staff providing service in both shifts

Opportunities:

Chances of motivating more students for remote area by establishing hostel.

Expansion and development of physical infrastructure with financial support from

UGC, provincial/local government and other donor agencies

Library automation in new building with open access

Chances of utilizing resources in all three shifts including soft skill courses

Threats:

Launching new and market based programs.

Management of sufficient fund for the expansion and development of infrastructure.

Managing incentives for the extracurricular involved persons

CRITERION 6: STUDENT SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE The campus has supported the students through Placement, Counseling and Students Sup-

port Cell. They are supported mainly ssin choosing appropriate courses and streams, offer-

ing personal and career counselling, joining various extracurricular activities, finding job

opportunities in market. They are guided by the help of prospectus, motivational classes and

counseling classes. The campus prepares leaflets to inform the students about the policies

and criteria of admission.

For the better performance in board exams, the campus conducts at least three internal ex-

ams in each academic year. Then faculties are asked to conduct improvement classes for

providing appropriate feedbacks to the needy studentss. The students who have secured

good positions are rewarded in every internal exam with cash. The campus has also orga-

nized motivational classes for those students who need further support to make their career.

Many students of this campus come from remote places and majority of them are financially

weak too. Even the campus has allocated 5 % of its sannual budget for the scholarship in

different titles like merit based scholarship, dalit scholarship, needy students' scholarship,

janajati scholarship, female students' scholarship, martyrs' family scholarship and so on. The

students who secure outstanding result in board exam are rewarded with full scholarship

scheme.

With the help of placement cell students are benefitted for searching jobs in different institu-

tions. The cell pastes notice of job vacancies in various fields cutting from newspapers and

from different sources on the 'Notice Board'. Students are highly benefitted by this and are

able to get jobs. The remarkable students of our campus have passed civil service examina-

tions, teacher service commission examinations and so on. Many students have been ap-

pointed in private boarding schools, governmental schools, banks and shops.

The campus has offered much services for the students. The female students have got safety

pads in menstruation period. Changing room has been managed in order to ease students for

their prompt management. The campus manages practical accounting training to the stu-

dents of management every year. English enhancement class and value based education are

also managed to addresss the needs of the students. Preparation classes for teacher service

commission and public service commission examinations are organized by the campus on

demand.

The campus organizes sports week to promote the students' skills in sports. The students of

this campus get opportunities of guest lecturers from renowned professors time and again

which help them to bridge the gap in academic arena. They are given first aid training, res-

cue training in miserys by the help of Youth Red Cross Circle.


Student's academic and personal counseling take place at any time during campus hours as

required by the students. However, sometimes teachers request individual student to attend

counseling. NMC has been developing faculties to the field of counseling. The records of

such counseling are maintained.

SWOT Analysis of Student Support and Guidance

Strengths:

Functioning employment, counselling and student support cell

Regular allocation of budget for scholarship

Publication of updated prospectus annually

The campus has made an MoU with different employers

Employment opportunities of graduates in different governmental and non-

governmental sectors

Transparent mechanism to cater academic information to the students

Well defined codes of conduct for the students and staffs

Active alumni association

Employment of notable number of students sthrough employment cell

Weaknesses:

Very less number of the graduates are engaged in civil service and self employment

Only a few teachers are involved in academic and personal counselling

Insufficient scholarship as per the need of the students

Opportunities:

Chance of getting employed by the graduates due to increasing number of schools,

NGOs, banks and financial institution in the area

Chances of attracting business persons and other member of society to donate fund

for scholarship

Possibility to enhance the consultancy services for the students' settlements

Threats:

Appointing licensed psychologist for personal counselling

Difficult for collecting the information about the graduates

Disseminating academic information through quality publication to the students

Difficults in orienting absent students

CRITERION 7: INFORMATION SYSTEM

The campus has formed Information Management Cell (IMC) and established separate

EMIS section through which various information and data are analyzed and recorded for fu-

ture usage. Office for EMIS and information desk are set up. Any visitors and students can

get related information from the desk. The information related to students' pass rate, enroll-

ment position, job placement information is kept systematically by EMIS focal person.

After every result of board exam, the data is analyzed by the departments and presented in

meetings of IQAC. The IQAC analyses the data and recommends for further improvements

to the respective departments, cells and units. Such information is displayed on department

notice boards and also uploaded on the campus website. There are different mechanisms to

receive feedbacks like suggestion box, guardian meeting and questionnaire survey. Budget

is allocated by the campus for this purpose. The data analysis system has facilitated to plan


for further improvements. It is also helpful to change teaching learning strategies. This prac-

tice has helped to improve results.

The RMC also suggests carrying out research on it. Feedbacks, complaints, and any other

related information is obtained by the campus. They are also recorded and informed to the

concerned stakeholders.

Academic information is disseminated through 'block SMS' service, face book page, web-

site, annual publications, magazines, leaflets, prospectus, brochures, flex boards, notice

boards etc. A research journal is annually published to disseminate research practices. all

these efforts, the campus has a challenge to continue all these publications periodically due

to limited budget. Another challenge is that the information system goes on changing rapid-

ly; the institution should be able to track the changes in the field.

SWOT Analysis of Information System

Strengths:

Availability of well-managed information management cell and other related commit-

tees/cells

Connectivity of EMIS in different units like campus chief, EMIS, library, information

management cell and fee counter

Publication of brochures, prospectus, annual report regularly and use of website, Fa-

cebook page to disseminate information

Responding feedbacks collected from stakeholders as input for further improvement

Management of students’ cumulative records

Formation of alumni association

Weaknesses:

Poor in relationship between the institution and public

Low trend of submitting comments from the concerned bodies

Low efficiency of faculties in operating information system

Opportunities:

Managing information cell to disseminate information and collect feedbacks from

concerned stakeholder in more systematic way

Chances of developing efficiency on handling information system by faculties

A good chance to improve the quality of the information system

Opportunity to collect feedback through website

Threats:

Incorporating all the feedbacks received from stakeholders in strategic plan.

CRITERION 8: PUBLIC INFORMATION

NMC is a public campus established by the community that serves public mainly in the field

of higher education. It's motto is to impart quality education and extend research activity.

The campus has formed information management cell to disseminate the activities to public.

It helps to connect public with the institution. It conducts activities such as parents-students-

teachers’ meetings, public hearings, feedback collections, discussion, interaction with stake-

holders. The collected recommendations, feedbacks, and suggestions are forwarded to the

executive body.

It publishes annual financial and other reports.

The report includes academic, administrative and financial information. The campus is

planning to publish its bi-annual magazine to increase reading and writing habits of students


and teachers and to publicize all the activities in details. NMC has been imparting many ac-

ademic activities, plans, policies and procedures through prospectus, brochures, pamphlets

and leaflets. Besides, the campus has been operating face book page and website to inform

public promptly. Visitors log book and suggestion box boxes are used by the well-wishers to

give feedbacks to the campus. The feedbacks are collected as information and discussed in

annual meeting. Then send it to the concerned committee or departments for further action.

NMC as a public based institution has the challenge and opportunity. It should make the lo-

cal community feel as their own institution. If it maintains the good rapport with the stake-

holders or communities, it can progress much. Thus, information system and the channel

should be feasible and easily accessible.

SWOT Analysis of Public Information

Strengths:

Functional and active information management cell

Opportunities:

Incorporating public information activities in comprehensive calendar

Improving publication quality

Developing students and their guardians’ awareness about the internal systems of the institution

Threats:

Orientation needed for staffs to develop rapport with stakeholders

Reaching to each stakeholders timely

CRITICAL APPRAISAL

Nilkantha Multiple Campus is a community campus established in 2057 B.S. for the pur-

pose of producing qualified and skilled manpower through research based teaching learning activi-

ties. It it located at the heart of Dhading Besi, the district headquarters of Dhading. It has been

providing quality education to the public mainly from economically, socially and educationally

backward classes and ethnic groups in affordable fee structure. Different academic programs from

three different streams namely; education, humanities and social science and management, are of-

fered as per the need of the society and market.

The institution has its statute that is approved by campus assembly as proposed by campus man-

agement committee. Furthermore, it implements policies and plans that will be supported with

clearly defined vision, mission, goals and objectives. The institution has been running as guided by

the strategic plan 2016-2020 B.S. All the internal bodies of the campus are formed in accordance


with the provision made by the campus statute. Each unit and committee has clearly defined job

responsibilities.

This is the Self-Study Report (SSR) of Nilkantha Multiple Campus that includes the overall infor-

mation of the institution. This report has been prepared in the format prescribed by University

Grants Commission, Quality Assurance and Accreditation Division(QAAD), Sanothimi, Bhaktapur,

Nepal.

In the 1st part of SSR, institutional data and justification have been presented. 120 benchmarks

have been responded with the facts and proofs as demanded by all eight criterions. This comprises

institution’s motto, vision, mission, policies, procedures, curricular aspects, teaching, learning and evaluation, research, consultancy, extension, infrastructure, learning resources, student support and

guidance, information system and the public information mechanism. These chapter wise descrip-

tions will be followed by the criterion wise summary along with the SWOT of each criterion. All

the supporting documents of this report are annexed in the third part of this report. All the questions

of this report are answered clearly, systematically and as per the requirement.

Research Management Cell (RMC) has been formed to carry out research activities and conduct

research and encourage students and faculties in research activities. Faculties are also actively en-

gaged in research activities mainly in workshop, conference and seminars. The faculties have been

providing consultancy services in different forms individually and the CMC has just made a deci-

sion to render consultancy services institutionally in the days to come. EMIS, Youth Red Cross Cir-

cle, Students’ Quality Circle, Information Management Cell, Internal Quality Assurance Commit-tee, Placement, Counselling and Student Support Cell, Examination and Practice Teaching Commit-

tee etc. are also actively engaged in institutional activities to ensure all round development of the

students and activate all the stakeholders in collaborative way.

The campus has well equipped spacious classrooms, automated library, department library, well

equipped computer lab and canteen. In order to extend library facility, a new building is under con-

struction. Campus has been conducting several extracurricular and co-curricular activities to boost

up the overall development of the students. Social programs like Blood donation, health camp, en-

vironmental awareness have added meanings significantly. The networking and interconnectivity

systems among library, account and administration sections have eased a lot in working modality.

The campus has taken steps in order to manage hostel facility and transportation service.

There is a public information cell informing the programs running in the institution and annual ac-

tivities to the students and general public through different media: web page, face book, prospectus,

calendar, report, wall papers, etc. The campus has its own academic committees/cells that are re-

sponsible for analyzing and recording various academic data. The results of such analysis are kept

in the campus.

To prepare the Self Study Report, the institution has gone through several meetings, discussions,

with campus management committee, campus assembly, stakeholders, guardians/parents, faculty,

students, alumni, community people, social workers in order to find strengths, weakness, opportuni-

ties and threats of the institution. Those meetings also helped the campus to make the future plan of

the institution. Faculties, CMC and students’ representatives visited QAA accredited 14 campuses

from east to west to study the overall system.


Being a non-profitable campus, it has some challenges like constructing required infrastructure and

launching new programs to meet the needs of time and community. Neelakantha municipality has

recommended to provide land to the campus and the campus is developing a master plan for the ex-

tension of infrastructural and academic aspects. It has been marching ahead to substantiate it excel-

lence with the support of University Grants Commission, government agencies, affiliating universi-

ty, donors and well-wishers. So, the campus is oriented in the process of achieving Quality Assur-

ance Accreditation Certificate as set by UGC parameters. This form of SSR is a revised version

based on the suggestions and recommendations provided by the PRT. The SSR preparation team

hopes that the suggested information has been included well, however, the continuous comments

are expected to improve it more.
