It was planned to improve upon the

Centralized system of faculty feed-back

evaluation was continued to be implemented

in a transparent manner. IQAC planned to

provide the strengths and weakness analysis

of staff members in quantitative form to all

Heads of the departments. It was planned to

take and action taken report from the

concerned departments on the feedback

analysis.

teaching staff .

These programs were attended by most staff and

were well accepted by all. It helped identify

weaknesses and modes to improve them.

Retreat was planned by

Office of the Principal to have a

brainstorming on academic and institutional

growth for the next academic year

This was an extremely useful exercise and enabled

the college to plan activities for the next year. It was

decided to have similar retreats for Heads of the

departments in future.

1. Centralized system of faculty feed-back evaluation was continued to be implemented in a

neutral manner, based on which IQAC provided the quantitative and strengths and weaknesses

analysis to all Heads of the departments and sought an action to be taken data from each head.

2. Data on impact of action taken from the previous year’s feedback evaluation was taken from

the Heads of the departments

3. Programs were conducted to improve teaching and enhancement of social values for the

teaching staff

4. Program was conducted for organizational excellence for the non-teaching staff

In view of this the college has taken the following steps to implement the above system for the smooth

conduct of the examinations.

1. An exclusive room was provided with CCTV surveillance to maintain confidentiality

according to the University norms.

2. The room is equipped with computers and laptops with webcams, printer and 2 photocopier

machines to enable the college to speedily process the downloaded papers to be sent to

respective blocks on time.

3. The junior supervisor’s blocks were prepared and sealed in an envelope in the exam room

which were opened by the respective block supervisors only after taking the signature of one

student from the block on the sealed envelope. This practice has helped to maintain the

confidentiality till the distribution of the papers.

An unfair means inquiry committee exists in the college to take action against students who were

found practicing unfair means during examinations

The examination committee in coordination with office of Principal and CAP committee works

for declaration of results within the stipulated time. The committee also facilitates for

photocopying and reevaluation of papers to address the grievances of the students.

Feedback Analysis Report for Bhavan’s College Faculty for the Academic year 2015-16

Period of Feedback collection from students: Sept 2015 & Jan 2016

Report

Feedback for faculty evaluation was taken by the Committee members IQAC during Sept 15 for the SY &

TY classes and in Jan 2016 for the FY class, during the course of regular lectures. This ensured that the

feedback was largely given by students, who were regular in attending lectures. It was also ensured that

the feedback was taken by faculty who were not being evaluated by the students giving the feedback,

such that there is no fear of giving truthful assessment of the teacher

Feedback was taken from around 50-70% students, across all three streams Arts, Science and

Commerce covering analysis of 74 faculty.

Analysis was done as follows:

A. By drawing average score given by students on a scale of 1-5, where 1 was excellent and 5 was poor.

Band for performance was thus made as below based on average score for each staff:

requiring attention and improvement

Outcome of analysis:

In the year 2016-17, the quantitative analysis of the staff feedback was forwarded to the individual

departments. The responsibility of action to be taken on staff feedback analysis is transferred to the

Heads of the departments.
