Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
2.3.2 What are the various teaching-learning methods (lecture method,
interactive method, project-based learning, computer-assisted
learning, experimental learning, seminars and others) used by the
teachers? Give details.
The College is making persistent and continuous effort to improve the
teaching learning methodology by using Participatory Learner Centered
pedagogy like project work, field trips, seminars, quizzes, manuscript
magazine, assignments, computer and web based learning etc.
The scheduled and planned teaching programs are executed predominately by
lecture method in which classroom interactions between teachers and students
is a major pedagogical aspect. Being science faculties, laboratory work is
executed in a more active, interactive and personalized manner. In addition to
the traditional methods of teaching, the teachers offer demonstration lectures
using charts, models, audio visual aids like OHP, power point presentation,
slide projectors, TV, VCR, computer etc. Moreover, various approaches and
methods are practiced to enhance students’ participation in the process and
develop the overall personality of students for their successful future. Most of
the teachers introduce activities like (i) poster-making activities/competition
(ii) seminars/workshops (iii) quiz/ group discussion/ group activities (iv)
individual performance of the students before the class (v) field work/ survey
work/ project work activities in a relevant subject like microbiology &
computer science (vi) guest lectures are arranged in microbiology (vii)
educational tour to various industries and research centers.
Most importantly, extensive use of LCD projectors with power-point
presentations makes classroom more lively, effective, interesting and exciting.
ICT based teaching-learning process inclusive of active-interactive and
sharing approach makes teaching more fruitful.

Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
2.3.3 How learning is made student-centric? What are the institutional
strategies, which contribute to acquisition of life skills, knowledge
management skills and lifelong learning?
Our Institute believes in imparting knowledge that encourages our students to
develop interest in their relative subjects. Our students are given library
assignments on the advanced topics in their field, thus encouraging them to
read new books, e-books, journals, research papers. Quizzes and seminars are
held so that brain storming sessions can be conducted for our students as well
as problem solving sessions are arranged. Advanced learners are provided
with latest books and problem solving sessions for the advancement. Class
room seminars, group discussions, role plays, case studies, student’s projects,
critical analysis, demonstration of experiments, question-answer sessions,
book reviews and conduct of surveys are the other methods used by faculty
members to encourage students in the teaching-learning process.
Guest
lectures are arranged by inviting eminent academic leaders and administrators
to motivate the students.
Skill based learning is useless if it isn’t applied. The application of the theory
is implemented in practicals and by preparing projects in the relevant subjects.
Our students are encouraged to do projects in their subjects so that they can
use the acquired knowledge in practical applications. Projects are the essential
component in the teaching-learning process of professional courses like
computer sciences.
2.3.4 How does the institution ensure that the student have effective
learning Experiences? (Use of modern teaching aids and tools like
computers, audio-visual multimedia, ICT, internet and other
information materials)
Teaching of most courses is complimented with models, practicals, projects
and some amount of AV aids. The lecture method of teaching is supplemented
by a few learner-centered methods like presentations by groups of students.
The College has several other student-centric methods of teaching-learning to
enrich the same, like OHP/power point presentations, assignments, group
66
Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
discussions, study tours, field trips, project reports, Book Reviews and
practicals as applicable.
Facilities to prepare audio-visuals and other teaching aids have been
introduced and all the Subject-Teachers are encouraged to make use of a
variety of learner-centered teaching methods, besides the conventional lecturemethod. Internet based assignments, projects etc related to their subjects and
advanced technologies that are being used in their field are given to our
students so that they get acquainted with the internet and learn how to use
internet for enhancing their knowledge in the respective subject.
2.3.5 How do the students and faculty keep the pace with the recent
developments in the various subjects?
We have various national and international journals and magazines of many
subjects viz. mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry, biology,
microbiology and biotechnology in our library that will give the information
about recent developments in the respective subject.
Internet facility is available for lecturer as well as for the students throughout
the campus by the WIFI facility. Even in the library e-books and e-journals are
available in the field of science, so students get more recent information. The
faculty members are also constantly motivated to update themselves in their
respective specifications.
2.3.6 Are the departmental libraries for the use of faculty and students?
If yes, how effectively are they used for the enhancement of
teaching learning?
We don’t have any kind of departmental library for the theory books but we
have books related to practical in respective subjects. So that faculties and
students can use that book during their experiments for any kind of the
difficulty.
67
Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
In near future we are trying to intranet base departmental library for all
subjects, where everybody can use e-books/e-journals for their personal
aspects.
2.3.7 Has the institution introduced evaluation of the teachers by
students? If yes, how is the feedback analyzed and implemented for
the improvement of teaching?
Yes, the institution has introduced evaluation of the teachers with the feedback
form at the end of year by students. The feedback forms were taken subject
wise from students. The data has been already analyzed and process is
completed.
2.4
Teacher Quality
2.4.1 How are the members of the faculty selected? Does the college have
the required number of qualified and competent teachers to handle
all the courses? If not, how does the institution cope with the
requirements?
All the permanent recruitments made in our institute are done as per Veer
Narmad South Gujarat University ordinances & UGC rules only. The teachers
are recruited through an open selection procedure for direct appointment.
Selection is done by the selection committee consisting of the representatives
of the management, subject experts nominated by the management as well as
by the university from a panel of experts approved by the affiliating
university, representatives of the university and the nominee of the vicechancellor. Finally, the appointment of the selected candidate is made after the
approval of the vice-chancellor. Thus, there is a direct participation of the
university in the recruitment procedure at all stages and therefore all the
UGC/state government / university Norms are fully taken care of with
reference to teacher qualifications.
The recruitment of the faculties is made by giving advertisement in a local
newspaper as well as national wise published newspaper. The applications are
68
Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
scrutinized as per the university guidelines. There are 50 marks drawn from
the qualification of the candidate and remaining 50 marks are drawn on the
basis of the performance of the candidate during personal interview. Only high
skilled candidates who obtained highest marks are selected unanimously by
the selection-committee formed by the university norms and procedure. Thus
entire process that we follow is very much systematic and rigorous.
The college has the required number of qualified and competent teachers to
handle all the courses from various universities/states. Our institute has nearly
09 teaching staff holding Ph.D. qualification, 03 M. Phil candidates and 03
NET/SLET qualified candidates in different subjects like microbiology,

education in general.
2.4.2 How does the college appoint additional faculty to teach new
programmes/modern areas of study (Biotechnology, IT,
Bioinformatics etc.)? How many such appointments were made
during the last three years?
The college does not appoint any additional faculty as it is not needed in most
of the time. Almost 100% teaching positions are filled against sanctioned post.
As our institute is a self-financed institute, we have appointed few the ad-hoc
lecturers in place of lecturers on maternity/long leave so that teaching &
teaching quality do not suffer. The college always aims to recruit the
appropriate and competent faculty who can meet the challenges of modern
areas like Biotechnology. In case of the course of applied nature like
Microbial Genomics and Bio-informatics, the experts from the other institutes
are invited for the specific period of time.
2.4.3 What efforts are made by the management for professional
development of the faculty? (e.g.: research grants, study leave,
deputation to national/international conferences/seminars, training
programmes, organizing national/international conferences etc)?
How many faculties have availed these facilities during the last
three years?
To keep abreast of the new developments in the respective areas of
specialization, and improve academic skills, the teachers are encouraged to
participate in national and international conferences/seminars/symposia, etc.
and to attend refresher/orientation courses and other training programmes
organized by the college and other universities and institutions of the country.
The college provides on duty leave to faculties who are interested in attending
national/international
conferences/seminars,

MS-Excel, Internet including emailing, web surfing and searching, Digital
Projector operations etc. and need not require any formal training. Moreover,
since the institute itself is running graduate level course in Computer science,
any time any faculty come across any problem related to computer operation,
faculties and technical staff of computer department assist/help them as and
when needed.
Training program on effective web searching
Besides these, the institute has organized an in-house training program in year
2007 whereby Mrs. Kinjan Chauhan and Mr. Jayesh Pushtiwala- faculties of
Computer science department, delivered a talk on “How to do information
searching on internet effectively using GOOGLE”.
Training program on Material Development for CAL
In 2007, the institute organized an in-house training program for all faculties
of the institute to encourage them for making use of ICT as a teaching aid and
enable them to prepare material for Computer Aided Learning. Mr. Shripal
Shah of computer department delivered a talk on “How to make effective

approach to Material Development for CAL.
73
Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
Both these programs helped the faculties in making the most of ICT as a
teaching and learning tool as a result of which today all the faculties deliver
their lectures using laptop and Digital Projectors.
Furthermore, the faculties in Microbiology and Biotechnology Dept. are using
Television and VCR as Audio-Visual teaching aids to demonstrate the
practical work in the respective laboratories.
Faculties are making use of the most of the Technology for teaching and have
set an example of innovative, collaborative, on and off campus, technology
based teaching by starting and managing Yahoo Groups. A faculty in Physics,
Dr. Prathmesh Vyas has started and managing a Yahoo Group namely
“Pratham Physics Forum”. Similarly, another such Yahoo Group is created by
Mr. Jay Bergi, a faculty in Microbiology and HOD – Biotechnology for
fostering off-campus, technology based learner centric teaching. This also
helps develop quest in students regarding advance / sound knowledge of the
subject.
Both these activities try to fulfill following aims and intensions:
•
To inspire students to use internet as a learning tool
•
To impart additional knowledge of the subject beyond the
predefined curricula.
•
To provide platform to the students to query their doubts
pertaining to the subject and get them answered outside the
classroom and college campus.
•

Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.5.1 How are the evaluation methods communicated to the students and
other institutional members?
The college prospectus, assignment books and student diary give all the details
of evaluation methods to the students at the time of admission. The Ordinance
rule of V.N.S.G.U. suggesting the details Regarding the evaluation process
and reforms is circulated among the teachers as and when amended by the
university.
2.5.2 How does the Institution monitor the progress of the students and
communicate it to the students and their parents?
We show answer books to the students after the Internal Evaluation. Students’
attendance is also a part of Evaluation. If attendance of any student is less,
their parents are informed through letters/ phone/Courier frequently. Then the
personal counseling of the students is done. Students’ attendance report,
Internal Exam results, Project works and library works are discussed during
the parent-teachers meet held twice in a year and through student diary. For
monitoring the progress of the students’, proper guidelines are given to the
students and their parents, and thus, coordination and academic interaction is
enhanced.
2.5.3 What is the mechanic for redressal of grievances regarding
evaluation?
In internal evaluation we show answer book to students. Their doubts are
cleared by teachers. Students’ and their parents’ queries are taken care of. If
needed, grievances are solved by the Head of the Department/institute. Annual
Exam is conducted by the University which has an efficient mechanism for the
redressal of grievances regarding the evaluation in which reassessment and
rechecking of their result are included.

Summary
Our institute is “Self-financed” science college having two undergraduate
courses (B.Sc. Computer Science and B.Sc. Microbiology) and two PG
courses (M.Sc. Microbiology and M.Sc. Biotechnology) out of which one
(M.Sc. Biotechnology) is five years integrated course. Admissions are given
as per university rules and norms strictly on the merit basis. To ensure the
transparency in the admission process, the university appoints the observers,
under whose direct watch the entire admission process is governed. The slow
learners are encouraged through constant guidance by teachers and advanced
learners are encouraged by awarding certificates/prizes/memento in the annual
function to them.
Entire teaching program of full academic year is well planned in advance in
annual-planner by each individual as per the academic calendar. The college –
academic calendar is prepared by a committee comprising of the Director and
all the DICs which functions in accordance with the guidelines of the
university-academic-calendar including co-curricular activities of the Institute
and the University. The teaching methodology depends upon the need of the
topic to be taught.
The scheduled and planned teaching programs are executed predominately by
lecture method in which classroom interactions between teachers and students
is a major pedagogical aspect. Being science faculties, laboratory work are
executed in a more active, interactive and personalized manner. Moreover,
various approaches and methods are practiced to enhance students’
participation in the process and develop the overall personality of students for
their successful future. Most of the teachers introduce activities like (i) postermaking activities/competition (ii) seminars/workshops (iii) quiz/group
discussion/group activities (iv) individual performance of the students before
the class (v) field work/survey work/project work activities in a relevant
subject like microbiology & computer science (vi) guest lectures are arranged
in microbiology (vii) educational tour activities etc.

Most importantly, extensive use of LCD projectors with power-point
presentations makes classroom more lively, effective, interesting and exciting.
ICT based teaching-learning process inclusive of active-interactive and
sharing approach makes teaching more fruitful.
All the permanent recruitments made in our institute are done as per Veer
Narmad South Gujarat University ordinances & UGC rules only. Almost
100% teaching positions are filled against sanctioned post. Finally, it remains
our continuous effort to update and upgrade our teaching and learning abilities
so that we remain at par with the present time need.
BEST PRACTISES:
TRANSPARENCY IN THE EVALUATION PROCESS
The teaching, learning, and evaluation are integrated and indissoluble
components of education. The Shree Ram Krishna Institute of computer
education and applied sciences, Surat desired that the evaluation system
should also serve as an aid in the process of learning. The Institute felt, that
this, along with teaching, should be an integral part of aiding learning by the
student. The evaluation process should include continuous internal evaluation,
the conduct of examination, the evaluation of answer scripts and indicating the
performance by grading rather than marking. It is in this context that the
evaluation practices were chosen and introduced.
The examination reforms, in the Institute, are not merely a technique to
improve the evaluation system but to be viewed as an aim at improving the
education process itself.
The main objectives of evaluation procedures are:
(a) The system of evaluation should be adequate and comprehensive
so as to measure different types of skills.
77
Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
(b) The system should provide a feedback:
1. To the students regarding their strengths and weaknesses;
and
2. To the teacher as to how far s/he has been able to benefit the
students
and
to
modify
his/her
approach
and
teaching
methods.
(c) To evaluate the performance by a method, that will be free from
subjectivity and be accurate as far as possible.
The evaluation system, as adopted by the Institute, has two components, viz,
1. The Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE)
2. The End Semester/Year Examination (ESE)
The ratio of weight age is 30% in CIE and 70% in ESE for UG and 50% in
CIE and 50% in ESE for PG. The answer scripts are given back to the students
after evaluation for their information, providing sufficient transparency and
accountability.
CIE Components: CIE programme includes components such as Quizzes,
Tests, Assignments, Seminars, Lab Exercises, Workshops and Practicals. For
each programme viz., UG, PG and Professional courses, suitable components
are included in their CIE.
CIE marks are shown to students along with their answer scripts by the
concerned teacher enabling them to have access to the evaluated answer
scripts before the marks are forwarded to the examination section.
This exercise ensures:
(i) Providing a feedback to the students on the mistakes committed;
(ii) Providing an opportunity to learn the subject more accurately and
adequately;
78
Part-II
Teaching –Learning and Evaluation
(iii) Transparency in the evaluation system.
The level of achievement is maintained high in the performance of students in
the examinations. Further the ratio of percentage of passes in each final
examination is always about > 95%.

Student Support and Progression
Student Progression.
The overall development of students and their continuous progress depends on
high quality of infrastructure, efficient library facilities with modern
information services and mentoring their academic development - by
providing mentor for their practical & theoretical presentation skill. The
faculty members support the students in the successful
completion of
program and their overall development as human. They strongly believe that
only academic growth is not sufficient for over all development of students.
They also motivate the students to participate besides extracurricular
activities
like
participation in seminar, poster presentation, scitoon
competition, quiz competitions, cultural
activities. The following
programmes
and
extension
sections provide self assessment about the
system prevailing at our college.

5.1.2 What are the efforts made by the institution to minimize the dropout
rate and facilitate the students to complete the course?
The dropout rate is averaging 3.0-5.0 % and is partially due to the fact
that many students who
join
science degree
programmes discontinue
when they get admission to vocational courses like medicine, engineering
etc. Compared to B.Sc. courses with other subjects, this rate is quite low
because our institute provides students many courses having professional
value.
Our institute started B.Sc. with computer science course in 1999.
Within nine years, it has started B.Sc. and M.Sc. with Microbiology and M.Sc.
with biotechnology. Apart from these we have research facilities. In short, the
facilities are available to the students from B.Sc. to Ph.D.
5.1.3 On an average, what percentage of the students progress to further
studies and for employment? Give details for the last two years.
(UG to PG to Ph.D. and/ or to employment)
It is difficult to have precise information about
the employment of
students, as we do not have any formal structure to keep track of the
progression of graduate or post graduate students after the completion of

courses and infrastructure. The faculty members are involved in the
development of new courses looking to the need of course, for the benefit of
students and society, need of the industries, growth of the city and state. Then
the curriculum for new courses are designed and proposed to management and
university. First of all to design curriculum reference of various universities
are considered then in informal meeting it is discussed and modified as per the
need in respective department of the institute. The projects viability is checked
and justified by preparing provisional Budget. This project is presented to the
local management committee. After discussing all the aspects in detail the

apply for affiliation to university or appropriate education body for the starting
the course.
6.3.2 How are the objectives communicated and deployed to all levels, to
ensure individual employee’s contribution for the institutional
development?
All employees are contributing for the institutional development as per their
status. This institute was established in 1999 with one Bachelor course of
Computer Science in a small building for the teaching of B.Sc. Computer
Science, two laboratories, computer science and physics are required. At that
stage we have established computer science laboratories but the physics
laboratory was shared with our sister Concern College. In the year 2003 we
had started B.Sc. Microbiology course, so we established a microbiology
laboratory for which faculties and technical staff contributed best in lab
design, purchase of instrument etc. The other laboratories were shared with the
other institutes on the campus. Then for the institutional growth new course
are established time to time, and need for the new infrastructural development
arises. Therefore the financial resources were arranged from the donors by
requesting them for donation to have institute’s own building for future
growth by the management.
232

science subject which was in infancy at that time. The focus of this institute is
continuous improvements and growth. Every year one more step is taken
ahead which leads to success and growth of the institute. It is also trying to get
excellence in the higher education by providing best quality education.
The teaching by best teachers leads an institute to excellence. The best practice
identified for this is to form pedagogical forum at the institute. This dynamic
practice is carried out by teachers who have given talk on diverse subjects.
The first lecture was on education system where as second one was on the
burning problem of starvation and food. All the activities in this forum
promote quality.
In this forum all the members participate and try to change themselves either
to be best teacher / human being. To put this best practice in action and then
247

continuously carrying out, it requires an extra effort. We are trying to make
this practice as a normal practice of the institute just as teaching. We would
like to make it as tradition of our institute. We would like to disseminate this
to other institutes also.
This institute is only ten years old. We would like to enhance the quality of
education continuously by ensuring proper infrastructure and effective control
and regular systems. We are trying to step ahead towards excellence in
education. The suggestions from the students in both the aspects are welcomed
and analyzed as well. One of the action which leads to excellence is to have
internal quality assessment. We would like to establish internal quality
assurance cell.

We have practice of showing answer books to the students after the
Internal Evaluation. Student attendance is also a part of evaluation. If
attendance of any students is less than their parents are informed through
letters/ phone/Courier frequently. Then the personal counseling of the
students is done. In Presence of parents, Student attendance report, Internal
Exam results, Project works and library works are discussed during the
parent-teachers meet held twice in a year and through student diary. For
monitoring the progress of the student proper guidelines is given to
students and their parents.
Evaluation :
The management i.e. chairman’s representative, meets the staff once in a
month informally. The staff problems, requests or suggestions are
discussed in the local managing committee meeting; the representatives for
teaching and non teaching faculties are member of this committee. The
discussion minutes to agenda of last LMC is to be placed in successive

Innovative Practices
LMC, which is then noted and passed by executive and management
committee of SES.
We have already introduced Feedback Mechanism since 2008-09. Students
are given pre-structured questionnaire to evaluate the performance of
teacher and the director scrutinized the observations and opinions of the
students. The director discusses with the concerned teacher. There is no
formalized system of obtaining feedback from the employers. Feedback is
analyzed with a healthy approach and the criticism is taken as a challenge
for improvement. Care is taken to keep the teachers Informed about
students’ evaluation in a very confidential manner.
Feedback are collected from the final year graduate students of computer
science and microbiology as well as post graduate students of
microbiology in a form of questionnaire. Statistical analysis of the
feedback on curriculum is noted down and Communicated to the
respective department of the institute who in turn make a correspondences
to the concern academic bodies of the university.

The dropout is partially due to the fact that many students who join
science degree programmes discontinue when they get admission to
vocational
courses
like
medicine, engineering etc. Compared to B.Sc.
courses with other subjects, this rate is quite low because our institute provides
students many courses having professional value.
4. Learning
resources pf the departments – library, computers,
laboratories and other resources.
Since ours is a multi disciplinary the books for the subjects pertaining to
subjects taught in multiple discipline / departments are kept in college’s
central library. Moreover theory books of the subjects are available in central
library. Other than the central library, computer department is also maintaining
its own library. Books related to the practical aspects of the subjects and few
of the reference books which are frequently needed are kept in the
departmental library. So, the faculty members can immediately take reference
as and when required.
Sixty four computer systems and four server systems are kept in the computer
departmental laboratory. All the computer systems are connected through
structured network and internet. Computer lab is equipped with various license
software like Microsoft academic alliance and quick heal license antivirus
software. Moreover the department laboratory is also equipped with three dot
matrix printer, one laser jet printer, two UPS.
A ceiling mounted projector is placed in the computer laboratory, which is
utilized for demonstration. Moreover the class rooms are also equipped with
294

ceiling mounted projector. The department is provided one laptop computer
for demonstrating the concepts and theories in the class rooms using above
mentioned ICT tools.
To add to this all the computers in the computer lab and even class rooms are
been provided internet connectivity so as to support the teaching learning
process.
5. Modern teaching methods practiced: and use of ICT in teaching-
learning.
Besides lecture method, being science faculties, laboratory work is executed in
a more active, interactive and personalized manner. In addition to the
traditional methods of teaching, the teachers offer demonstration lectures
using audio visual aids like OHP, power point presentation, slide projectors,
etc. Most of the teachers introduce activities like (i) poster-making
activities/competition (ii) seminars/workshops (iii) quiz/ group discussion/
group activities (iv) individual performance of the students before the class (v)
field work/ survey work/ project work activities in a relevant subject l(vii)
educational tour to various industries and research centers.
Specifically, Third Tear Students of the B.Sc. Computer Science Course
undergo two months formal project training in the field of Software
Engineering, where by they learn and demonstrate their skills as an IT
professional. This live working experience aids as very fruitful learning
resource and activity of their three years of study. The teachers of the
department act as mentors to the group of students and guide them through out
their project training.
Most importantly, extensive use of LCD projectors with power-point
presentations makes classroom more lively, effective, interesting and exciting.
ICT based teaching-learning process inclusive of active-interactive and
sharing approach makes teaching more fruitful.
