candidates came to know about the College is also recorded. This data is analyzed to
identify the most effective medium of publicity. The various media for publicity are
Newspapers, Friends/Relatives, Websites, etc. An analysis of the feedback given by
the candidates who appear for the entrance test provides valuable inputs for improving
the pattern of entrance test.
Class counselors regularly counsel the students and maintain the student
profile forms. The same is also reflected through online profile forms which are even
accessible to the parents for regular updates about their ward. The counselor prepares
the students’ profile for reference which includes academic performance, attendance,
regularity, behavior, special remarks etc. Class counselors maintain close relationship
with parents through letters, phone calls, parents’ workshop and parents’ teachers’
meetings. Class counselor acts as a mentor, guide and facilitator for academic
performance as well as co-curricular activities, career counseling and personal
guidance. It has been felt that mentoring and counseling ensures continuous and
consistent progress of students.

In our institute number of students admission rate is devaluated but demand
ratio not devaluated because as per our Institute’s policy extra admission forms are
not to sell out. Only confirm admission forms are to be sold.
The number of Students in various academic programmes clearly indicates
that there has been fluctuation in number of students.
Numerous reasons that have facilitated these changes are given below:
� Choice Based Credit System (CBCS):
Introduction of CBCS at under graduate level (Since academic year 2010-11) has
impacted in terms of decrease in the admissions at some PG level courses. The reason is
that CBCS at UG level has increased the failure/dropout ratio of the Students.
� Higher Secondary Results:
A fluctuation in the results of the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary
Education Board (GSHSEB) has its impact in the admissions at the UG level courses
of the College.
Self-financed Colleges offering similar courses have been granted permission
by Sardar Patel University. There has been 350% increase in such Colleges after the
year 1997.
New Colleges have been established with the same courses at various places
of the State.

counsel them about the courses available and future prospects. Orientation
Programme is conducted to give students a good idea about the examination system
and other activities like Counseling, Sports, NSS and NCC.
Support Services are provided to teachers for making the student centric
learning. The well equipped library of the College houses the latest Books and
Journals which teachers use efficiently to provide comprehensive and latest
information to the students. For the participation of students in Group Discussions,
Debates, and Seminars, College has Computer Lab, Scope Lab and Seminar Hall.
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 61
For the use of innovative teaching-learning practice, the teachers are highly
motivated and advised. Majority of the teachers use student-centric practices for
teaching learning process in classrooms. The lecture method is traditional and most
followed method. Almost all the faculties organize student presentations, project
works, group discussions and seminars. In addition to the conventional methods of
teaching, multimedia modes like CD, projectors are used by the teachers.
To improve the communicative English skills of the students, to meet the
National and International demands, “SCOPE” communication lab has been set up
Computer aided learning is an integral part of computer department.
One of the mandatory parts of academic curriculum for all the subjects is to
provide teaching-learning by means of projects for the students. Such projects include
activities like data collection in field visits, etc. Comprehensive project work is a part
of B.B.A. curriculum. Students choose topics for project works in consultation with
teacher in charge. Students are asked to submit their report on the industrial visit and
represent their views and impressions about each such visit before other students and
also before the concerned faculty. Students are also assigned various duties of
coordination during such educational visits.
A highly motivated approach is given to students for the reading current
articles from various books and magazines/journals which are available in the rich
Library of College as also from other sources before the classmates. Students are
given freedom to form their own voluntary groups that in turn help them in organizing
events and thereby to develop skills.

2.4.4 What policies / systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg: Providing

state, national and international level for excellence in teaching during the
last four years. Enunciate how the Institutional culture and environment
contributed to such performance/ achievement of the faculty.
• Nil
2.4.6 Has the College introduced evaluation of teachers by the
students and external peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used
for improving the quality of the teaching-learning process?
All the teaching faculties are evaluated 100% by Students. The College has
introduced student feedback system. The process of evaluation is made by preparing
questionnaires or feedback forms for the students. Teachers are evaluated on the basis
of subject knowledge, language, methods of teaching, sincerity, nature and other
factors.
Students fill this feedback forms and it is received back by the faculties and it
is analyzed properly and if any teacher’s work is found to be unsatisfactory as per
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 97
feedback, the Principal personally talks to him/her to discuss the issue. Corrective
measures have been incorporated to enhance the teaching methods by the faculty
members.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.5.1 How does the College ensure that the stakeholders of the College
especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?
College prepares a detailed academic calendar every year. The academic
calendar incorporates the examination schedule for the benefit of the students and
parents. Every year, College prepares a detailed examination and internal marks
policy, assignment policy and attendance policy. These rules, regulations and policies
are discussed with all the first year students during the orientation program. The same
is informed to students of other classes through class counselors.
College follows the 60:40 marks ratio for evaluating the students as per the
University rules and regulations. College is entitled for conducting the internal exams
weighing 40 marks for each Subject, whereas the Sardar Patel University is responsible to
carry out the University examination carrying the weight of the rest 60 marks.
For internal exams, the different departments of the College follow different
methods of evaluating students. In addition to paper-pen based exam, various
departments also take in consideration the presence of the students, their classroom
presentations, assignments, behavior and viva-voce.
• Before preparing the results of internal examinations, the answer sheets are
shown to students (except B. Com students, they are shown answer books
on demand).
• Students are informed about the methodology of writing reports and the
criteria for evaluation of the reports through circulars and demonstrations.
• An examination redressal cell has been duly constituted in order to resolve
examination grievances of the students. The procedure for examination
grievance redressal is communicated to students by way of notice board
displays. Internal examination results are also displayed on notice board.
• Re-test is conducted for students who failed to appear in the preliminary
examination, which is compulsory, because of other competitive exams,
and medical problems or any other problem.
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 98
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the College
has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the College on its own?
At the University level
• Sardar Patel University has an Exam Reform Unit (ERU) which
continuously monitors the examination process and brings in reforms by
inviting suggestions from the affiliated Colleges/Departments regularly.
• The flapping of the answer books is done in order to keep the identity of
the candidates anonymous/secret.
• A set of minimum two question papers is made.
• Students are given registration numbers in the alphabetical order or their
subjects of specialization.
• Students are given hall tickets with photographs and examination schedule.
• Students, in the alphabetical order, are sent to various exam centres by the
University.
• For the purpose of assigning examination related duties to teachers, the
University has initiated “point system” whereby teachers having maximum
points will be assigned the task of paper setting and examination work.
• CBCS grading system is introduced.
At the College level
• College has introduced open book assignment test whereby students are
given assignment questions for each unit well in advance for prior
preparation and the date of assignment test is also announced well in
advance. On the day of test any one out of the given questions is asked.
• Preliminary exam is conducted covering any three units in the syllabus.
• Question Paper Calibration Committee (B.com and BBA) P.P. Patel and
BBA (FT) A.H. Dedania) calibrates question papers of preliminary exam.
• Re-test for students who cannot appear in the regular preliminary
examination on grounds of genuine reasons.
• Attendance component in awarding internal examination marks
• For the internal evaluation, the College has allotted 10 marks for viva
voce, student seminars, assignments, classroom presence, and classroom
presentations. For the rest 30 marks, the College conducts paper-based
examinations.
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 99
2.5.3 How does the College ensure effective implementation of the evaluation
reforms of the university and those initiated by the College on its own?
• College prepares academic planner in the beginning of the academic year
wherein the dates of Internal Exams are already planned.
• Examination Policy is formed for every academic year to ensure effective
Implementation of evaluation reforms.
• College also frames gracing policy for internal marks. Gracing of Internal
marks is carried out because of factors such as quality of students, internal
evaluation policy and other environmental factors. Under the gracing
policy, gracing of internal marks is done in such a way that students secure
minimum passing marks.
• Students, who have participated in Intercollegiate Sports/Youth
Festival/NCC or any events, get the benefit of gracing of internal marks in
aggregate. This is to compensate them for their inadequate performance in
the examination as a result of the loss of their studies because of their
participation.
• The faculties are notified for the last date of submission of centralized
assessment and result is circulated. The question paper is set in accordance
with the University pattern.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches
adapted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have
positively impacted the system.
College has implemented both formative and summarative evaluation
approaches. Subject teachers regularly evaluate the students through the unit wise
classroom written and oral tests, open book tests, presentations, quiz, assignments,
projects, class room seminars, and viva-voce.
College conducts internal exams for the formative evaluation of the students
and gives chance to the students to appear in Re-test examination for their
convenience while the University conducts external examination at the end of each
Semester for the formative evaluation. College analyzes the semester-wise results of
the students in the external examinations and takes necessary steps in changing
teaching-learning process for summarative evaluation of the students.
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 100
To cite few instances of positive impacts of both these evaluation methods, we
can note that these practices have imparted quality to the students’ performances
which has resulted in: Victory of many University Gold Medals at graduate level and
improving their overall performance.
2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and
transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and
weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage
for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.)
College is transparent in the Internal Evaluation. After the completion of the
exam, results of B.Com students are displayed on notice board while the answer-
sheets are shown to the students of BBA (Gen.) and BBA (FT) for ensuring rigour and
transparency. B.Com students are shown answer books on demand only.
College conducts a paper-based internal test of 30 marks for the assessment of
the student in different subjects. Five marks are allocated for the participation of
students in the classroom throughout the semester and five marks are allocated for
home assignments to develop students’ performance.
During the last year, College has followed the following formula for the
overall assessment of the students:
Sr. No. Areas Percentage (%) Marks
1 Internal Test 75 30
2 Regulatory and Behavior (Attendance) 12.5 5
3 Assignments / Classroom Presentations 12.5 5
Total 100 40
2.5.6 What is the graduate attributes specified by the College/affiliating university?
How does the College ensure the attainment of these by the students?
College aspires to have a Socio-cultural transformational impact on the
Students through comprehensive value-added Education by inculcating qualities of
competence, confidence and excellence.
College has specified the following graduate attributes:
• To organize ‘Udaan Job fair’ ensuring the student employability.
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 101
• To impart education merging with Knowledge and Wisdom.
• To generate an atmosphere for Mature and Free-thinking, and Positive
Citizenship.
• To develop overall Personality of the Students.
2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to
evaluation both at the College and University level?
In BBA (Gen.) and BBA (FT) the subject teacher shows the evaluated answer
sheets to students and thus gives them a chance to check the assessment. Any student
(Including B.Com) can approach the concerned faculty for any discrepancy in
evaluation. If not satisfied, he/she may also approach to Principal or they may drop a
note stating their grievances in the Suggestion Box which is kept on the ground floor
of the College.
Sardar Patel University, V. V. Nagar has an independent system for the
grievances related to the external evaluation. The University offers Re-checking and
Re-assessment (students are allowed to re assess twice) facility at a nominal charge
after the results are declared.
2.6 Student performance and Learning Outcomes
2.6.1 Does the College have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’ give
details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?
Yes, College has clearly stated learning outcome. College functions to make
true, its vision of inculcating Spiritual and ethical values among the students,
imparting education merging with knowledge and wisdom, so that those who pass out
of the portals of this College live as a mature, free-thinking and positive citizens with
an all round personality development.
The students are made known to the learning outcomes/objectives through:
• College prospectus cum annual magazine.
• Introduction meeting held to welcome new enrolled Students.
• Orientation lectures by respective teachers in their classes.
• Student counselling while admission.
RAR, Anand Commerce College, Anand - 388001 102
The staff members already know these learning outcomes, as they are well
aware with the objectives of the College. They are informed about the learning
outcomes through the following means:
• Vision, Mission, and Objectives are stated in the academic diary
maintained by the staff to keep the track of the things done.
• During the appointment of the faculty and non-teaching staff.
• Whenever new staff is recruited, they are explained about the Mission and
Vision by the seniors and Principal during the introductory meeting.
• All related amendments/improvements/changes are made known to the
staff by issuing circulars and by arranging meetings time to time.
2.6.2 Enumerate on how the College monitors and communicates the progress
and performance of students through duration of the course/
programme? Provide an analysis of the student’s result/achievement
(Programme/ course wise for last four years) and explain the differences
if any and patterns of achievement across the programme/courses offered.
Regular Tests are conducted in each semester:
• Evaluation is done on the basis of internal test which has the weightage of
40% and that includes internal test, assignment, and attendance.
• Sardar Patel University conducts examination at the end of the each
semester with the weightage of 60%.
• This evaluation makes Students aware about their weakness and then to
improve them. mark sheets are displayed on the notice board.
• After the declaration of the results, mark sheets are sent to College

Recently every one faces many problems for better employment. Education is
increasing but as compare to education employment opportunities are decreasing, so
our Trust - SRKSM organized UDAAN – Job fair for the Graduate and Post Graduate
students in 2013- 2014. The main purpose of this Job fair is to empower Students.
College has 20 regular permanent teachers and majority of them are well
experienced in Research and Teaching area. During last two years, Udaan is going
successfully in SRKSM and it gives a wide exposure to Students. In this event,
number of varied stream students participated from BBA (General, Foreign Trade,
ISM) B. Com, BCA, MBA, M. Com, MBA, LLB, BA-LLB, MHRM and other
Colleges of SRKSM. Around 22 companies came to the campus for the interview.
4. The Practices:
College endeavored to organize the Udaan programme through the students’
support, in which they bring data of industries that they visited previously as a part of
their educational study named industrial visit of 15 days. Along with that GIDC
directory is also utilized to collect information of Industrialist. So we sought their
addresses and tried to stay in connection with them.
Later, on the basis of the information received, the college authority gets
conformation with these companies’ heads. In case, the business tycoon confirms to
be part of UDAAN program, a special invitation is sent on behalf of SRKSM. Apart
from this, brochure, invitation card, and company registration form with soft copy is
sent to confirm their presence with the help of E mail. And hard copy is submitted to
all concerned and confirmed companies.
To participate in Udaan Programme, College has brought a simple policy in
which, the students of College and outsiders participants are supposed to pay nominal
charges as fees for the registration.
There shall not be any detailed information given to Students regarding any
particular Company. Their interview details are never revealed to them in advance. A
kind of arrangement is done in which students are given codes and through which
they can appear in an Interview.

participation of companies and students. There were around 22 companies which
remained present on that day and presented themselves for a Job Placement. A large
number of students participated in job fair; approximately 166 students became active
doers in that fair. Companies were very clear with their criteria for selecting Students.
They had beautiful schemes to recruit new employees to their organization. They
displayed their policies in terms of remuneration, they were offering salaries from
1.25 lacs to 2 lacs per annum, and along with this they have also offered special
incentives to smart doers and target achievers. They also offered gratuity to all those
whom they wish to recruit. The success of this job fair cannot be stated without
stating the recruitment of students, approximately 66 students performed brilliantly
and due to that they were selected by concerned companies.
6. Problems encountered and resources required:
Firstly the students belonged to U.G. level; they were not apt to interviews.
Secondly the companies’ representatives were in search of well qualified students but
the most of proportion of it belonged to bachelor students.
Moreover there were no other problems faced by the College or company
representatives.
