Institutional Values and Best Practices

The college is a life changing destination for students and the institution is marching from a developing to a

developed institution by adopting a number of professional practices that are most effective. Among them, the

following two practices are considered to be superior because of high accomplishments of them in making the

students a globally competent graduate.

Best Practices

1. Integrated Skill Development Programme

Skills and knowledge complement each other in the success of students . In the present day context, skills really

matter the most. The Integrated Skill Development Programme of the college includes Soft Skill, Technical

Skill, Professional Skill and Value Addition. The, objective is to prepare the students to (i) build the capacity in

skill sets, (ii) achieve core competencies to face global requirements, and (iii) amalgamate the “World of

Competent Learning” and the “World Skilled Work”.

Besides the above skills, professional training is given in Professional Accounting, Financial Services,

Company Secretaryship, Cost and Management Account, International Software Testing Qualification,

Microsoft Certification, CISCO Certified Network Associate Certification, Oracle Certified Associate and few

others.

By integrating all the above skills and training, the college enables the students to become professionals in the

companies of repute with good personality and more work efficiency and confidence to face the global

competition in the changing world environment.

2. Integrated Teaching-Learning Process

Effective teachers strive to motivate and engage all their students in effective learning rather than simply

accepting that some students cannot be engaged and are destined to do poorly. We believe every student is

capable of achieving success and in our college every faculty member is finding ways of making each student

successful.

The Integrated teaching-learning process of the college includes usage of learner-centric teaching for

curriculum delivery through participative, collaborative, contributive, experiential, online and self learning. The

learner-centric approach and online learning using e-learning resources provide knowledge, skills and practices

for a holistic development of the students that enable them to become lifelong learners and independent

problem solvers and decision makers.

students on their regularity in the classes. It increased the interest of the students in the learning and

attending the classes regularly with much more interest.

6.3.5 Institution has Performance Appraisal System for teaching and non-teaching staff

Response:

The college has a well planned and very transparent Self Appraisal System for teaching and non-teaching

staff. The staff members are evaluated and their performance is measured annually through structured

performance appraisal system. The Teachers’ performance is evaluated on the basis of their contribution to

the college development, development of the Department and contribution to curriculum, teaching

pedagogy, research and extension activities. The teaching faculty’s appraisal is specifically based on

teaching methods used, mentoring and guidance, quality enhancement, publications, participation in

seminars, workshops, conferences, research projects, awards, honours, recognition, online courses,

professional training, professional membership, administrative support, contribution through committees,

organizing events, accreditation activities, consultancy, etc. The self appraisal reports are analysed and the

Principal sends a report on the “Action to be Taken” to the Head of the Department concerned. A

confidential report on the “Action Taken” is prepared by the Head of the Department and submitted to the

principal.

The Head of the Department also evaluates the academic performance of all the teaching faculty members

by observing the performance of the Teacher on teaching in the class room. The course file and the log-

book also measure the performance of the Teacher.

The faculty is also graded by the students through online structured feedback system. The attributes are

punctuality, sincerity, subject knowledge, lecture preparation, communication and presentation skills,

coverage of syllabus as per schedule, controlling the classes, standard of test questions, discussion of

answer sheets, fairness in evaluation, interaction and approachability, helping for clarification of doubts,

and knowledge gained at present on the subject. The final rating given by the students is added into the self

appraisal system. Based on the performance combined with qualifications and experience, promotions are

given to the Teachers.

The non-teaching staff members are also promoted on the basis of their service period and performance.

The appraisal system for the non-teaching staff tests the languages known, skill, work execution, drafting,

difficult files handled etc. They are also assessed based on task execution and punctuality, work in time

and work perfection, interest in work and motivation, fairness and impartiality, capacity and willingness to

assume responsibility, integrity and honesty in behaviors.

the defined procedure is adopted to get the funds.

No institution is recognized by its infrastructure but by the success of students studying in it. Therefore,

nearly 25% of the income is invested on the purchase of books, equipments, sports and other programs.

Nearly 50% of the income is spent on the salary of staff. Various programs like sports, yoga, personality

development and other activities are organized and nearly five percent of the income is spent on this.

For good education, it is very important that the environment and campus of the institution should be clean

and attractive. For maintaining the greenery and ambience of the campus nearly two percent of the fund is

spent. There is a provision of five percent of the resource for electricity, water, internet, website and

telephone bills. Approximately three percent of the resource is spent on the purchase and maintenance of

equipments. 10% of the grant is kept safe for miscellaneous expenses and for any emergency situation.

This fund is used at the time of need and for the development of the college. At the same time, the allotted

funds can be interchanged in case of emergency. In this way, effective financial management is being

practiced by the college to attain new heights and achieve its desired goals.

The disposal strategies of all kinds of electronic wastes such as battery cells, unusable electronic devices,

computer hardwares, printers, CDs, DVDs, telephones, televisions, fax machines, etc. are handed over to e-

waste collectors for sorting and recycling outside the college campus at regular intervals.



7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:

Rain water harvesting is a technology to collect rain water from the surfaces on which rain falls and

subsequently stored for later use. It is mainly collected from the roofs of buildings and stored in water

tanks.

The rain water harvesting is being carried out during rainy seasons both by roof-based harvesting

and land-based harvesting in the college campus. For this purpose, two storage tanks with a capacity of

20,000 litre and 15,000 litre were constructed at a cost of Rs.2,25,000. The rain water pipes from the roofs

of all the buildings are directly connected to the above two rain water storage tanks. The excess water

recharges the ground and reaches to the bore wells, which in turn improves the ground water level for later

use.

The harvested rain water is treated by ultraviolet water purification technology to convert the rain water

into safe drinking water. The rain water undergoes several steps of treatment including sterilization and

filtration. It is easier since the pollution, pollen, mold and other contaminations in the rain water collection

are very low, compared to other water sources. Moreover, the rain water is free from harmful chemicals

and ideal for converting into safe drinking water. Further, the stored rain water is used for watering laundry

and flushing toilets in the college hostels. The unused harvested rain water is used for watering the plants

and trees and making the college campus as a green campus.

Response:

“Green Practices” are followed as an integral part of the campus and nurtured through a blend of academic

learning in Environmental Studies as a compulsory foundation course and also as an extension activity.

The total area of the campus is 12.76 acres, out of which 34,606 sq. mt. are filled with green

landscapes, trees, and plants which provide a green carpet to the campus. Out of the 613 trees, 238 are

medicinal trees, 111 are edible fruit tress and 264 are shade trees. Water harvesting facilities are available

throughout the campus. A monsoon bird survey conducted in cooperation with Coimbatore Nature Society

to record the frequent dwelling of birds reveals that 24 variety of birds and 08 variety of butterflies and few

extinct birds like sparrows live in the college campus.

Non-biodegradable wastes are separated and transported to garbage yards. Biodegradable wastes are fully

utilized in the preparation of Vermi Composites. Natural manure is totally utilized for the garden as a

fertilizer. There is a functional and active eco-club which involves students in various awareness programs

and other events such as Swach Bharat Abhiyan (Summer Internship Programme), plantation drive, etc.

The practice of giving out and planting pots and saplings as souvenirs at various college events is also

followed. A continuous monitoring of the biodiversity is carried out by the students and teaching and non-

teaching staff. E-wastes are handled appropriately for recycling outside the campus.

The campus is designed with sufficient open space including roads, and lawns. The natural landscape is

preserved while accommodating the demand to use these venues actively for gatherings, ceremonies and

recreation. The roads inside the campus from the main gate to the portico and to boys and girls hostels are

provided with wide sidewalks and further with a line of trees thereby providing shades.

Use of plastic bags and plastic cups are banned in the campus. Even in the canteen and hostel mess, they

are forbidden. Steel plates, steel cups and plantain leaves are used there.

Except documents like statutory approvals, agreements, account statements and others dealing with legal

matters, all other documents are maintained electronically. The college promotes paperless office as a

green option than using papers. All the examination processes including internal assessment and admission

process are made paperless. All communications to faculty members, students and parents are through e-

mail and SMS.

The college provides transport for students living beyond five kilometers from the college campus.

Speed governance and regular maintenance reduce the carbon emission. Students and staff from the

immediate neighourhood use bicycles for commuting to the college. Strict rules are imposed for using two

wheelers and thereby the college minimizes the carbon foot print in the atmosphere. By all the above

means, the college keeps the campus green by following various green practices.

year.

7.1.19 The institution maintains complete transparency in its financial, academic, administrative and

auxiliary functions

Response:

The college maintains complete transparency in its academic, administrative, financial and auxiliary

functions. Admission process is transparent since the college follows the reservation policy of the

Government of Tamil Nadu and the guidelines and norms of the affiliating University. Faculty members

are recruited through proper selection process by following the guidelines of University Grants

Commission, Government of Tamil Nadu, and Bharathiar University. The Bharathiar University issues

approval of qualification of the eligible and selected faculty members. Salary for the newly recruited

faculty members are fixed based on their qualification, experience and academia credentials. The salary

and all the incentives are promptly credited to their bank accounts through the electronic clearing system.

The college receives funds from SNS Charitable Trust and other eligible government and non-government

funding agencies for research, infrastructure development, seminar, workshop, etc. The college is governed


Page 108/125 30-09-2019 02:32:42

by the statutory bodies, namely, Governing Body, Academic Council, Finance Committee and Board of

Studies which keep transparency in all the financial transactions and administrative functions. All the

statutory bodies are constituted as per the norms of the University Grants Commission with due

representation from the University, Government and experts from society. All the academic and non-

academic matters are discussed in the statutory bodies and resolutions are recorded in the minutes of the

meetings to keep transparency. The college fee is collected as per the norms and receipts are given for all

the fees collected. Funds collected from Alumni for the Alumni Association are maintained in a separate

account which gets audited every year.

Academic administrative and finance audits are carried out every year regularly. Audit is done on the

finance involved in the examination, research, infra-structure development seminars, workshop and other

activities. These audits are carried out to maintain absolute transparency. In the academic matters, the

teachers monitor the progress of the students and their performance using a number of evaluative methods

viz: class room interaction, assignment, project, seminar, group discussion and class test. The marks scored

in the continuous internal assessment are informed to the students and parents and test papers are

distributed to the students as and when the tests are over. The examination processes used by the

Examination Cell of the college are very transparent by giving provision for revaluation and receiving

photocopy of the answer scripts by the students. The award of internal assessment marks is also transparent

and the reason for the difference in the marks is also discussed and explained to the students in the class

room. The parents are invited to the Department regularly by the tutor or class teacher to appraise on the

academic progress and conduct of the students. Hence, one could confirm that all the activities in the

college are carried out with transparency.

Best Practices


Page 109/125 30-09-2019 02:32:42

The industries, these days, look for graduates who are vibrant and energetic individuals, possessing good

knowledge and the right skill sets and ready to accept challenges. However, as days pass on, the gap

between academia and industry is widening and as a result, the number of unemployable graduates are in

the increase for want of required skills. Under these circumstances, the students need to be updated in the

advancement of technologies around the globe and to get trained in general and specific skill sets to face

the professional world. By doing so, the students will get more exposure to create their own

entrepreneurship avenues.

4. The Practice:

The success of any learning process depends on the effective practice and training and the commitment by

the learners and trainers. In order to make our students globally competent in skills and to be readily

suitable for employment in top-notch multinational companies and corporates, we provide an Integrated

Skill Development Programme by blending Soft Skills, Technical Skills and Professional Skills.

In order to make it more effective the Institution has signed MoU with three companies namely Six

Phrase, Atic Academy and Talent Sprint. Trainers with higher qualifications and special skills from these

companies are engaged to train the students in soft skills. The under- graduate students are classified based

on their levels in the first year, based on their domain of interest in the second year and company based

training is given in the third year accordingly. All the skill based courses are suitably credited in the regular

curriculum.

In the First year of the Soft Skill Training Programme, the students are trained on English communication

skills that involves training the students in all the four skills namely Listening, Speaking, Reading and

Writing (LSRW). The well equipped English communication laboratory with Globarena software is useful

for the practice of these skills. Students undergoing this training get a chance to enhance their English

communication skill and help themselves present as eligible candidates during their interview process for

employment.

The Soft Skill training in the second year of study also focuses on Quantitative Aptitude and Verbal

Reasoning. Students are exposed to aptitude questions comprising of different models and shortcut

methods required to crack the questions within the stipulated time duration of the test. Verbal ability is

taught to improve the English usage ability. Mock tests and group discussions are conducted to get real

time experience of the interview process.

The third year of training focuses on topics that are specific for specific companies which they are going to

attend for their placement. Also, company-specific Aptitude Training and Online Tools are provided to the

students. Regular practices are given for evaluation and improvement of their solving ability.

In order to equip the students technically sound, the Technical Skills Training along with value addition on

specific tools and topics is offered to the students during all the three years in the respective Department.

The curriculum for the value added technical skill is based on the technical skills acquired by the students

through the curriculum in the previous semesters. Questions to test the technical ability of students, to use

the methods and tools learned will be framed from the technical content of the courses offered in the

previous semesters.

The strategy adopted here tries to enhance the technical competency of the students. Further, to bridge the

gap between curriculum and industry, one credit courses are designed and offered by industrial experts.


Page 110/125 30-09-2019 02:32:42

Also Industrial experts teach the students to conduct experiments in the laboratories.

The Professional Skills Training and International Certification Programmes are offered based on the

current trends, which recognize specialized knowledge and skill set required by the industries to face

global competencies and gain a competitive advantage. Also, it helps to execute projects with increased

efficiency, build professional credibility through which students acquire new updated industry information

and techniques.

In view of filling the professional gap, Professional Training Programmes on specific domains are given by

professionals. Professional training in commerce discipline in association with the chapters of Charted

Accountants, Company Secretaries and Cost Accountants is given in Professional Accounting, Company

Secretaryship and Cost and Management Account. In the computer studies, Professional Training

Programme is offered on International Software Testing Qualification Board, Microsoft Certification,

CISCO Certified Network Associate Certification, Oracle Certified Associate and few others. An

integrated approach to soft, technical and professional skills make the students as good communicators,

technologists and professionals.

5. Evidence of Success

Able to interact well and develop good communication skills

Able to work out new concepts and abstract ideas, solve quantitative aptitude, reasoning , puzzles

and data interpretation.

Adopting to situation

Change in the attitude

To fix a problem with creative skills

Acquire domain based knowledge

Gain competitive advantage

Students clear International Certification examinations and Foundations examinations of various

institutes of India in Accounts.

Problems Encountered:

Special trainers have to be engaged at extra cost for soft skill training.It is difficult to get the same

trainers continuously .

As methods used in the class room for training by trainers differ much (activity based) from the

regular teaching methods, students find it difficult to adopt to the training easily.

Several students show less interest in skill training compared to the regular curriculum.

Since the fees for Professional Skills Training and International Certification is high, as per the

economic standard of the students, the students from economically challenged back ground find it

difficult to afford to pay the fees.

Best Practice-II:

1. Title of the Practice: Integrated Teaching-Learning Process:

An Integrated approach in Teaching-Learning by integrating the (i) Class room & laboratory learning (ii)


Page 111/125 30-09-2019 02:32:42

Learning in the field and industries through experience (iii) Online learning and (iv) self-learning is

practiced in the institution to make the learning process more effective and enjoyable.

2. Objectives of the Practice:

Making the learning process enjoyable by moving from teacher-centric to learner-centric education

To promote participative, collaborative and contributive learning

To encourage learning by doing and experiencing in the field /industry

To promote online learning and technology supported teaching

To encourage self-learning

To make the students creative thinkers, innovators and independent problem solvers

To undertake projects on important issues of social relevance

3. The Context:

Now a days, the students are more of Tech-savy and leaned towards using computers, smart phones and

several other modern electronic gadgets. Also, rather than listening to lectures, the students prefer learning

by experience in the fields and industries. The students feel more comfortable in learning when the

teaching is supported using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and online. The students

also prefer learner-centric teaching pedagogies rather than teacher-centric methods. The post-graduate

students enjoy learning by themselves, reviewing research articles and publishing research articles. With

this in mind, an integrated approach on the teaching-learning process is adopted so that students enjoy the

learning process.

4. The Practice:

The Integrated Teaching-Learning process is a process of integrated study that makes use of the different

teaching learning methods and practices adopted to develop new knowledge based on real life activities

and ability to work with higher-order thinking.

In these learner-centric teaching methods, the students work in pairs or groups to complete an exercise,

solve problems and help each others by asking questions and clarify their doubts by interacting also with

the faculty. Power point presentations, creation of visuals of speaking on specific topic by the students is

projected in the class and deliberations are made on it. In the class room debates, quiz, role play are

conducted to equip the students to gain a deeper understanding of the subjects concerned. The classroom

lectures are taught on learners perspective, Learner-centric class rooms are more cooperative and organized

and students also develop interpersonal skills and group skills.

In laboratories, concept based experiments are taught. The experiments are based on the concepts related

to the course of study. The students apply their own logical thinking to solve a given problem. Conceptual

understanding of a course helps them to easily adapt to the industry.

In collaborative learning, the students and faculty from other institutions are invited to share their

knowledge, experience and ideas on a specific topic and vice versa.

Interactive and participatory learning methods enhance the students to be more creative, explore societal

challenges, and develop communicative and analytical skills. The students participate in symposia,

seminars, workshops, conferences, guest lectures, involve in brain storming sessions organized by other


Page 112/125 30-09-2019 02:32:42

institutions and exchange information. Also, they take part in discussion forums like Blogs and Web

Portals which provide a platform to develop their defending skills through the chat clubs.

Learning in the field and industry is practiced by making the students to attend field trips, field survey and

do field projects, industrial visits and internship trainings. Students from the Departments of Mathematics

and Physics participate regularly in Summer Research Fellowship Programmes in National Institutions

such as Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad,

National Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhubaneswar, Kerala School of Mathematics and

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata.

The individualized experiential learning methods such as Mini-Project, Code Bugging, Creation of Models,

Hacking, Out Bond Training, conduction of Marketus, help in equipping the students to gain a practical

knowledge.

The students, faculty and other stake holders work in a collaborative environment and use digital

frameworks vibrantly to create rich teaching and learning experiences via e-Book, e-Lab-Manual, e-

Factory, e-Skill, e-Project, and e-Thesis. The Online learning through MOOC, NPTEL, SWAYAM,

Spoken Tutorial are made mandatory to the students, 153 staff members and 30 students of our college

have registered and cleared the various NPTEL courses and 1183 students are certified with Spoken

Tutorial Examination conducted by IIT Bombay during the last two years. The college is an approved

NPTEL Local Chapter and has been ranked 139 among the active local chapters for conducting online

courses through SWAYAM-NPTEL offered by IIT, Madras.

The college adopts modern pedagogy in line with emerging trends to enhance teaching-learning process.

The Information and Communication Technology enabled teaching includes Wi-Fi enabled class rooms

with LCD Projector, Language Lab, Smart Class Rooms, E-learning Resources, Virtual Class Room,

Online Psychometric Test, and E-factory Visit. The college provides instructional materials to the students

through Courseware portal (www.snscourseware.org) for easy follow-up and understanding the concepts

and subject contents.

The students are taught in Research based learning that include publication of research articles, case study,

research review that lead to holistic knowledge and skill development of students.

The Project based learning, an interdisciplinary approach is encouraged and practiced by students which

involve the knowledge in research, mathematical computation and multimedia production. The students

participate in some of the learning events like Hackathan-Way Creator, Hackathan-Mobile App for Women

Security, and Hackathan-Temples App in Tamil and get real time experience in finding solutions to

problems. Ideathon–Hackathon-Talent Trap 2017-2018 was conducted by SNS Group of Institutions and

two students got selected and was sponsored to visit different universities in Singapore.

The college integrates the different teaching practices for the holistic development of the students.

The programme is designed in such a way that students may explore different courses and develop cross-

disciplinary communications, out of box thinking, problem solving, decision making, multitude approaches

to integrate Mathematics and Science, Commerce and Arts. The students learn in mixed groups, which

facilitate more knowledge sharing and confidence building.

Evidence of Success:

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

The students have shyness to express their views.

Each student has a different learning style and logical thinkingto understand and solveproblems and

hence balancing the problem solving styles in laboratories is a challenge.

The students feels difficult to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during the study to real

world problems and situations.

As many students are from rural areas, when they go off campus they find it difficult to keep in

tune with the technical requirement (computers with high bandwidth, strong internet connection

that online courses require) and some of them don’t even own computers.

The four pillars of the Broad-Based Education offered in the college include knowledge,skills,values and

social responsibilities and sports and entertainment.
