2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the Institution to review the admission process
and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’, then what is the outcome of
such an effort, and how has it contributed to the improvement of the
process?
Yes, there is a mechanism in the Institution to review the admission
process and student profiles annually. The Admission Committee has
been set up for this purpose (Ref. Pt. 2.1.1)
Outcomes and Improvements:
The Admission committee has taken care in giving equal
opportunity to all students who fulfill the criteria set out by the
University and this has influenced foreign students as well as
students from outside Karnataka state to take admissions.
The admission process has been made more transparent by
allowing parents and students to visit the campus and speak to
respective faculty members and students at the College. Such
interaction builds confidence in the prospective student’s mind
before taking admission. Students from 50 countries are studying
and have studied at the College.
It was seen that parents wanted hostel facilities for their Wards and
this was a common query during admissions. Keeping this need in
mind separately the Institution has provided hostel facilities to boys
and girls.
The Admission committee has played an instrumental role in the
admission process, as a result of which Government of India is
sponsoring students to study in our Colleges through the Indian
Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR).

Of late the trend is that students first aspire to take admissions for
professional courses and only the unsuccessful students came back for
B.Sc courses. The last date of University for admissions to UG
courses, denies admissions to such students who pass in the

supplementary examination as the last date of admissions to UG
Courses is earlier than professional courses.

relating to every faculty who teach them in the department the data is
collected, revealing the identity of the student. The data is collected,
analyzed and presented to the Management. Faculty members who are
lacking in certain areas are guided and counseled to make
improvements. Meetings are held by respective departments on regular
basis to take stock of the teaching plan and discuss certain issues
relating to faculty etc.
Monitoring Learning Quality (Students): The learning outcome is
monitored by regular Assignments/Internal Tests/Class
Interactions/Projects/Dissertations/Presentations/Competitions etc.

8. A survey has been conducted on Dengue fever as an awareness
campaign by the Dept. of Microbiology. The details are as follows.
Effect of dumping of wastes on the increasing number of dengue cases
in and around Sanjaynagar area Bangalore – a survey report
Date: 11.12.2012
Survey conducted by: PG Dept. of Microbiology, Brindavan College
Dengue fever also known as break bone fever is an infectious tropical
disease caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever,
headache, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash that is
similar to measles. In a small proportion of cases the disease develops
into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in
bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage, or
into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure
occurs.
Dengue is transmitted by several species of mosquito within the
genusAedes, principally A. aegypti. As there is no commercially
available vaccine, prevention is sought by reducing the habitat and the
number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites.
The number of patients with dengue fever has increased in the last few
months in the City. The number of suspected cases visiting major
Government hospitals has also gone up, making it difficult for the
doctors to handle the sudden flow. Five patients, who tested positive
with dengue fever, were recently being admitted at the KC General
Hospital in Malleswaram.
Doctors in the city blame the rise in dengue cases to the deteriorating
hygiene in the city, mostly because of dumping of the waste, a major
problem in Bangalore. This has lead to breeding of mosquitoes at those
sites.
They found that 8.3 % of the individuals in that area had suffered from
Dengue Fever. They also informed the people about the necessary
precautions to be taken in order to avoid the incidence of the disease
which includes maintaining proper hygiene, separation of wastes, use
of mosquito repellents and mosquito nets, etc. They also shared
information related to cause of dengue fever, symptoms and treatment
Brindavan College, Bangalore, SSR / Cycle II Assessment 136 | P a g e
for the same to those who were unaware of the fatality of the dengue
fever. Finally the students insisted that the residents should share the
information with others which will help others in adopting preventive
measures against the disease.

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership
Sir M. Visvesvaraya declared "Industrialize the nation or Perish". A
country's growth is dependent on the industrialization as much as on
agriculture. Industrialization can be successful only if sufficient
Human Resource is available to work as Managers, Engineers,
Administrators, Financial experts, Marketing experts and Technicians.
To produce these people the basic requirement is education and
specialization which is provided by the institutions. Thus the
institutions have an utmost important role in supplying ethical and
socially responsible leaders, professionals, scholars, and citizens to the
society.
Brindavan College is committed to create a congenial atmosphere for
teaching-learning process with appreciable infrastructure and dedicated
faculty to provide the students value-based education and research with
exposure to practical learning for the yearend students to keep them
prepared to excel globally in the present day competitive world. Our
College is thus a leading institution in three equally valued and
interrelated missions of student care, education and research.
Our aim is to serve the interested students in their field of interest viz.,
Science, Commerce, Management or Computer Applications at UG &
PG levels as also the Research field. Secondly to create interest in
such students who are lethargic and dull, to pursue their studies: so that
we can be complacent of uplifting them. The tradition followed is that
there is no discrimination among the students or staff, based on their
caste, color or creed. All are treated alike. The future vision is to
make Brindavan College a top-class and preferred College.
