PREFACE Government Arts College, Ooty, is a co-educational institution offering Graduate, Post

graduate and Research degrees and is the main centre of higher education in the Nilgiris. The

college is housed in the historical first building in the Nilgirs constructed by the British. The

building was the previous summer secretariat of the British Madras Presidency and holds many

remaining of the British rule. College established in 1955 as an intermediate college, later

upgraded to a First Grade college by introducing basic degree programmes in history, economics,

physics and mathematics. When it was established, it was the only college in ooty. Now it

benefits the first generation learners who belong to socio-economically and educationally

backward sections of the society in Nilgiri District.

The motto of the college is “Do and Dare” which represents duty and valour.

Accordingly, those who graduate from this institution are molded to perform their duties properly

and face realities of life courageously. Today, after more than five decades of dedicated service to

the state, the College stands tall for having produced thousands of luminaries that includes

Scientists, Civil Servants, IT doyens, teachers, poets, writers and artists. The College is

affiliated to Bharathiar University, Coimbatore and offers UG, PG, M.Phil and Ph.D in almost all

basic disciplines. The college is located in the picturesque serene stone house hill amidst of the

Ooty town in a campus of 10 acres. The historical Stone house (one of the buildings of the

college) was once a centre of literary activity. It is staying in this building Mr. G.U. Pope

translated Thirukural to English. Lord Macaulay drafted the Indian Penal Code staying in this

building. The main building itself is a historical monument, build up of Wood in Old English

style is still a study monument for historian and Architects. as it was a Collector’s office during

the British period. The unique feature of the institution is the Introduction of a degree course in

Defence Studies in 1977. A beginning towards career oriented specialized courses was also made

by starting B.Com. M.Com, Tourism & Travel management, Wildlife biology and B.Sc.

Computer Science courses.

The College secured the status of 2(f) of UGC Act in 1983 and 12(B) status in 1977. It

was accredited with 3 stars by NAAC in 2000. Reflecting on the footprints left in the past, the

College volunteers for the second cycle of re-accreditation in 2013. A cautious effort is taken to

involve all faculty members in the preparation of this Re-Accreditation Report (RAR), to ensure

quality sustenance and enhancement to lead the college into the future.

Executive Summary

CRITERION 1: Curricular Aspects

The curriculum design and development of Government Arts College, Udhagamandalam

begins with its mission and vision statements. The mission of the college is to mould the students of the institution into well meaning citizens through a series of carefully crafted and socially committed patterns of instruction. The statement stresses the institution’s ambition to keep pace with the changing needs of the times even while building a rich corpus of talent banking on the glory and tradition of the college. The statement also states that the objective of the college is to provide quality education to students from all strata of the society.

The scope and spectrum of these central statements are often hindered by the nature of functioning of the college. Government Arts College, Udhagamandalam, being one in the Government sector and affiliated to Bharathiar University, has to conform to the norms set down by the State in matters of administration and to those set down by the University in matters of instruction. The resultant lack of autonomy is a hindrance to growth. Be that as it may, the College tries its best to introduce new courses and to improve teaching strategies in the past years.

Whenever the College gets a chance to update its syllabi, it does so. The recent introduction of IT-based modules and cyber security for non computer students and virtualization of dissections are proof of this perspective. It has already been mentioned that the College does have a few constraints. In spite of these, the College maintains lead because many faculty members are also there in many of the academic / decision making bodies of the University like Syndicate, Senate and Board of studies. This helps in procuring for the College a better slot in matters of Courses and syllabi.

The College is offering graduation, Post graduation and research degrees in almost all

basic disciplines. Understanding the local necessity and the need of the hour college is also offering specialized courses like Computer Science, Commerce with Computer Applications, Commerce with International Business, English with Computer Applications, Electronics and Communication and Wildlife Biology. Foreign students do not get enrolled usually, but whenever the affiliating University issues a directive for admission, such students are also admitted.

The college is ensuring the constant modifications to curriculum through representations

to university based on student and alumni feedback. The academic events that include invited talk, interaction to visiting scientist, National and regional seminars, symposia, workshop and exhibitions. The faculty and students are constantly motivated to participate in academic events and seminars occurring in other colleges or university. This is deemed to be positive feedback from both the parents as well as the students. The visit by the NAAC team to the College and the subsequent granting of College with 3 star status, Convocation for Graduates, Book exhibitions, Job fare and National Seminars have made the institution more visible amidst peers. The links of the College with major research institutes like CCMB Hyderbad, RGCB Trivandrum, ZSI

With the help of the smart board .

It was very useful for taking the class with audio and video for all topics.

It is helpful for explain the internal structure of the IC’s.


• Staff member instructed to the students to develop their carrier with help of the

application part of the microprocessor.

• With the help of the hardware and software of microprocessor students can develop their

carrier.

3. Changes made in the courses or programmes and the contribution of the faculty to those

changes

1). M.Sc Wild Life Biology course curriculum is modified in such a way that it can be useful

for the students to know about the advances in zoology and the course is renamed as M.Sc

Zoology (Wild Life Biology).

2) The HOD of Zoology Dr.J.Ebanasar was a member for the board of studies in PG

Zoology during 2011-2013 and played vital role in making the changes. The modification in the

curriculum is useful for the students to appear for the NET/SLET and IFS examination.

3) 2013-2014 onwards Dr.R.Sanil & Dr.D.Jeyabalan are in the PG Zoology Board of the

University and they play important role in replacing animal dissections and introducing alternate

practicals in PG syllabus and introduced dissertation in MSc Zoology curriculum. Animal

Biodiversity syllabus is re structured and entire structure of MSc Wildlife Syllabus is

restructured to make more field and research oriented.

4)During 2013-2014 Dr.J.Ebanasar is a member in UG Board of studies. He is vital in

framing the Syllabus for newly started BSc Zoology (Wildlife Biology ) in this department.
