1. Teaching and Learning (Undergraduate):
The teaching-learning process forms the very crux of any educational
institution. All the activities in the college are organized to facilitate the effective
functioning of this process. At the beginning of the session, an academic plan is
prepared with the help of a committee formed for the purpose. A detailed academic
calendar is chalked out and the teaching plan is delineated. The syllabus is
divided into three parts to be taught in three phases of the academic year. This is
printed by the college in the form of a booklet and is made available to the
students. Tests, exercises and practical are conducted by teachers in laboratories
as per requirements of the syllabus. A time schedule is made for the internal
examination of the college. Annual examinations are conducted by the university.
To make learning meaningful, the methods employed by the teachers of this
college are participatory in nature. Most of the teaching-learning activities are
conducted through lecture method and interactive discussion method. Experiential
learning, seminar method and computer assisted learning method is also being
used by some of the departments as a teaching strategy.
Section – II
11|P a g e
Our college constantly strives to make learning, student centric by giving the
students rich academic experiences. Academic tours are organized from time to
time. Talks by renowned educationists are often organized. Career counseling is
provided to the students to facilitate their selection of proper vocational avenues.
Private agencies and companies are invited to hold placement interviews on the
campus.
The college possesses a well-stocked library which has a regular supply of
latest books and journals on various subjects. The students and the faculty keep
themselves abreast with the recent developments in their respective subjects.
The students are issued books from the main library, which is adequately
stocked by recent publications of books and journals both national and
international.
According to the norms laid down by the UGC for the teacher-taught ratio,
the college does not have sufficient number of teachers, but the teachers of the
college do full justice to the academic load by taking extra classes and putting in
more teaching hours. The college also employs guest lecturers to augment teaching
work. They work under the guidance of senior faculty members of their respective
departments.
The college conducts internal mid-term examination. Students are
communicated about the evaluation system in their classrooms at the beginning of
the session. It has been made mandatory for all the students to appear in mid-
term examination; otherwise they might be restrained from appearing in the main
examination. The results of the mid-term examinations are communicated to the
students. Special remedial classes are arranged for weak students. A specific grant
is also provided by the UGC for this purpose. Apart from this, home assignments
are also given from time to time to the students, which are checked and evaluated
by teachers so that the students may come to know about their strengths and
weaknesses. They also learn to assimilate the content.
12|P a g e
A healthy academic atmosphere prevails on the campus to facilitate the
teaching learning-learning process. The significance of mutual-learning is realized
to achieve a healthy academic work culture and to vouch for Teaching-learning
effectiveness. The participatory method of teaching is encouraged so that self
confidence among the learners can be generated. Educational tours, excursions
and sight visit by students are regularly organized under the supervision and
guidance of the teachers.
Remedial classes are held for weak students belonging to the SC and ST
categories. Free of cost coaching is provided to SC and ST students to offer them
opportunities to prepare for competitive examinations. The Career Guidance Cell
facilitates the students to choose career options and avenues.
An innovation in Teaching/Learning in the college has been the use of seminar
method of teaching where the students are enthused with the quest for knowledge.
They also get a platform to hone their public speaking skills as well as to effectively
organize their subject matter. This method has had a considerable success in the
college where a spirit of healthy competition has been fostered in students.
The teachers assess the efficacy of their teaching by conducting class tests
from time to time. Care is taken by the teachers to help the weak students by
providing them remedial classes. The advanced learners are motivated by the
teachers to work ahead of the rest by assigning them extra work or getting them
involved in the organization of seminars or other productive activities on the
college campus.
Apart from classroom teaching, students are exposed to field experiences, practical
and laboratory work. Seminars, symposia and debates are held periodically to
further enrich their academic experiences.
Another innovative effort of the college has been to make a syllabus
execution plan on quarterly basis in which the syllabus is completed within a
13|P a g e
stipulated time frame. Supervision of senior faculty members and Quality
Assurance Cell of the college ensure that this time frame is adhered to religiously.
For capacity building of our students and enhancing their future progression
Computer Literary Programme, English Language Proficiency, Personality
Development and General Studies also have been launched in the college.
The college also has formed various committees such as Internal Quality
Assurance Cell, Library Committee and Placement Cell to augment the teaching
learning activities of the college.
For ensuring good institutional climate the college has also constituted a
women cell, a health care centre, counselling cell, gymnasium etc. This also takes
care of maintaining the mental health of the students. The college extends its
cooperation to the University of Allahabad at all times and at all levels, be it for
organising seminars, symposia, workshops or for teaching extension and
evaluation, or for attending orientation and refresher courses organised by the
