Teaching Learning process

The faculty members are encouraged to use audio-visual aids in class room teaching. Over head projectors are provided. At present there are 1 LCD projector, 1 OHPs & 1 Laptop kept at the disposal of teaching staff and 2 more are under acquisition. The teaching material and notes will upload in the ELearning Center for the benefit of the students and staff. Training programmes will be organized to help the staff to put the E-Learning Center to optimum use. Class room lecture will be supplemented by Guest Lecturers / Special Lectures. Every teacher is required to maintain a course file for each of the subjects handled by him. Class tests are conducted in each subject during a semester. Pursuit of excellence in any field of activity requires continuous review of the effectiveness of the system. In an Educational Institution, the presence of highly qualified teachers and good infrastructure does not necessarily guarantee effective transmission of knowledge. They can only give an indication of the potential of the institute. The effectiveness of the Teaching-Learning Processes can be measured only from the extent to which this potential is translated into performance. Any Institution which aims at excellence should devise its own mechanism for continuous self assessment through constant review, identification of deficiencies and promotion of a spirit of self correction among the members of the Faculty. It is with this perception that this Management has set up a Quality Improvement Cell (QIC). This cell is entrusted with the following functions: 1) 2) 3) 4)
5)

6) 7) 8) 9)

To devise steps for effective class room instruction To devise steps for effective laboratory instruction To arrange to collect feed back from students To identify deficiencies / weaknesses among Teachers for the purpose of rectification through advice and guidance To organize training programme for Teachers To review, analysis of examination results To review the steps taken for regular conduct of class work To review the steps taken for personality development of students and counseling To review the steps being taken for Performance appraisal of Teachers from time to time.
