A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Surendranath College is one of the oldest colleges of the country. Established in
1884 as Ripon College by Surendranath Banerjea, the college was renamed after
the founder of this institute as Surendranath College in 1948-49. The college is
committed towards imparting all round holistic and quality education.
―Education processes the human material- the greatest of all resources of a
country- broadens its outlook and vision thereby enabling it to realize itself‖.
Research and education between them carry aloft the banner of progress and
human achievements. This was mainly the objective of the visionary founder,
S.N.Banerjea.
After some initial obstacles, the IQAC was ultimately formed on 30.07.2013,
long after the first accreditation in 2007 wherein the college achieved B++ grade.
Subsequently the IQAC has developed several quality assurance mechanisms
with the help of several committees under the able guidance of the Principal.
CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECT
The college is an affiliated college and thus does not have the flexibility in the
development of curriculum, but steps are taken for effective delivery of the
curriculum.
The faculty members are encouraged to use ICT in teaching and learning.
There are also feedbacks taken on the curriculum and a link is also provided in
the college website for the same. These feedbacks are communicated to the
affiliating University with the help of the Board of Studies members.

book stock in the library and also by conducting remedial classes.
2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students‟ needs in terms of knowledge
and skills before the commencement of the programme? If „yes‟, give
details on the process.
Student‘s needs are assessed with respect to their knowledge and skills in the
following ways before the commencement of the session:
• The merit and performance of students in the last qualifying examination is
the basis of assessment of the knowledge and skills of the students before
the commencement of the programmes.
• The students who require special assistance are identified after reviewing
their profiles before the commencement of the session.
The college has initiated bridge courses in some subjects for such students.

organizing bridge course for such students at the beginning of commencement of
the program.
• The college has initiated a process where if students who require special
assistance are identified, remedial classes will be organized for them after
the Final Test examination to cope up with the programme they have
chosen.

2.3.10. Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum
within the planned time frame and calendar? If „yes‟, elaborate on
the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to
overcome these.
The college has a well-designed system for curriculum delivery in place.
However the college faces many challenges. Some of these are:
• The same building is shared by three colleges. Due to space problem
sufficient classes could not be allotted to the departments by the routine
committee.
• During University examinations hosted by the other two colleges, the
classes in the main building of the college remain suspended for our
students.
To overcome these challenges the institute in recent times:
• has increased the number of laboratories/ classrooms dedicated for our
students only by reconstruction and modification of the terraces.
• has negotiated with the Surendranath Collegiate School situated in the
same campus for allowing the infrastructure available with them for our
students. This has resulted in the availability of eight class rooms of the
school for our students.
• is pursuing for a second campus with the West Bengal Government. The
process of negotiation is ongoing.
2.3.11. How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching
learning?
• Earlier the institute used to collect feedback about curriculum and
teaching-learning from the students of final year in prescribed format in
hardcopy. The feedbacks so collected were analyzed by the Principal and
necessary action taken if required.
• Recently the institute has started taking online 360 degree feedback, using
cloud based software, from all its stakeholders like students, peers, self and
principal for evaluating the quality of teaching-learning process of a
teacher. The report of the feedback is automatically generated by the
software. The outcome of the feedback is now intimated to the individual
teachers thereby leading to overall improvement of the teaching-learning
process.

• The substantive vacancies are filled by the West Bengal College Service
Commission Act 1978 (WB Act LXII 1978) and as per UGC norms.
• As and when needed the college also recruits guest faculty members for
the respective subjects with the approval of the Governing Body through a
duly formed selection committee for this purpose.
NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015
Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 76 of 381
• Although the part time teachers (PTT) and contractual whole time teachers
(CWTT) were recruited by the institute following the same process of
recruiting guest faculty members, their financial liabilities have been taken
over by the West Bengal Government.
Currently no PTT and CWTT are recruited by the college.
2.4.2. How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of
qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas
(emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT,
Bioinformatics etc.)? Provide details on the efforts made by the
institution in this direction and the outcome during the last three
years.
It is really a challenging task for this institute to cope with the growing demands
of the students for modern courses like Computer Science or Microbiology.
Previous NAAC recommendation was to grow in a skewed manner instead of the
lateral growth.
Irrespective of some serious efforts by some departments to start post-graduate
courses, nothing realistic materialized unfortunately.
The institute finds it hard to cater to the requirements of the new courses
introduced from 2001 onwards like Geography, Statistics, Journalism & Mass-
communication, Psychology and Sociology.
In all these courses, there exists hardly any full-time faculty while the courses
are carried out with the help of part-time, contractual and guest faculty members.
In the past few years, there has been a growing demand for almost all of these
courses as is evident from the number of students admitted in each year.
Although the institute is trying hard with the help of honorary services of faculty
members of related discipline to resolve the issue, the arrangement in no way
suffices in rendering justice to the students admitted in a full-time course.
The institute expects to get some new posts in these disciplines with the help of
college service commission in near future.
During very recent times West Bengal Government has also approved CWTT
and PTTs for the subjects which helped the cause to some extent.

2.5.6. 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 behavioural aspects, independent learning,
communication skills etc.)
As the college is affiliated to the University, it follows the University guidelines
for evaluation and assessment. However,
• The college does conduct various internal tests and Unit tests, so that the
students get a better picture of the University exams and come out with
flying colors in University exams.
• Results of these internal test examinations are declared to the students as
soon as possible. To maintain transparency in the internal assessment
system, the students are given chance to look at the evaluated scripts.
They can reach out to the concerned faculty members if there is any
problem with the evaluation and assignment of marks.
2.5.7. Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation
as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of
learning objectives and planning? If yes provide details on the
process and cite a few examples
The institute gives utmost importance to assessment /evaluation of students for
achievement of learning objectives.
• Each course structure is designed in a specific way to judge the progress of
the students mid-way of the session through mid-term test as well as
finally after completion of the course through a final test.
• Apart from these two tests held specifically according to the academic
calendar, departmental unit tests are held as and when required.
• Students are also encouraged to solve the problems on their own in
regular/tutorial/remedial classes by the teachers.
• Parent-Teacher meetings are also held to identify reason of any student
performing below expected standard.

Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 90 of 381
2.5.8. What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference
to evaluation both at the college and university level?
There is a very specific and notified process for redressal of grievances with
respect to evaluation of scripts at the university level.
• Any student who is not satisfied with the result can review his/her paper
through an application.
• Photocopies of answer scripts can also be obtained for self-inspection
through R.T.I.
• There is also scope of challenging the mode of evaluation in a court of law.
Through all these methods, it has been observed that the assessment process is
free and fair.
At the college level
• After the unit test, the results are declared within a week of the
examination.
• Results of Mid-Term and Final Test Examination are also declared to the
students.
• Final Test Examination results are also submitted to the office for
necessary action.
• The students are encouraged to see their evaluated scripts in order to get an
exposure of the loopholes so that they get better prepared for the university
examination.
• The students can also get their answer sheets rechecked by the concerned
teacher, if they are not satisfied with the evaluation.
2.6. Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended
learning outcomes?
• The institution is well equipped with laboratories, library and some ICT-
enabled teaching aids to facilitate the teaching-learning process.
• The introduction of the annual system of University Examination has led
to a degree of continuous assessment of the students learning. The
present syllabus of Calcutta University is quite rigorous and lays
sufficient weightage on the fundamental principles.
• Apart from the above the internal examinations conducted by the college
also attempt to lay emphasis on fundamental concepts rather than
focusing on rote learning.
• Group discussions, student seminars, quizzes enable the student to
express their thoughts with freedom even on certain contentious issues.
• Finally, on special occasions, such as the Founders‘ day, Teachers Day,

3.3 Research Facilities
3.3.1 What are the research facilities available to the students and
research scholars within the campus?
As the college is not a recognized center for carrying out research leading to a
Ph.D. degree it has little to offer to students in terms of active research
facilities.
• In spite of various limitations it strives to accommodate the needs of those
who are engaged in research work, either as project assistants or scholars,
under sanctioned research projects obtained by permanent faculty
members.
• The college is in the process of upgrading its library and is a subscriber to
N-LIST consortium under NME-ICT Project to enable access to journals
and research publications required by the faculty and research workers.
• The college library has a collection of rare books from the 19th century
which could serve as an archive in future.
• College provides space and other infrastructural and administrative support
for research projects.

Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 110 of 381
3.3.2 What are the institutional strategies for planning, upgrading and
creating infrastructural facilities to meet the needs of researchers
especially in the new and emerging areas of research?
• The college has collaborated with other institutes and agencies in
organizing National/State level seminars and has always made a point to
encourage its faculty members to take part in seminars and conferences.
These are expected to help the faculty members to know about new and
emerging areas in research as well the latest trends in technology etc.
• It is also seriously considering the option of signing MoU‘s with various
other universities/college/research institutes in order to strengthen its
research facilities.
• The establishment of the IQAC is expected to assist the planning,
development and creation of more opportunities for research.
• The constraint of space prevents us from creating new infrastructural
facilities dedicated solely for research purpose.
3.3.3 Has the institution received any special grants or finances from the
industry or other beneficiary agency for developing research
facilities?? If „yes‟, what are the instruments/ facilities created
during the last four years.
Till date no grants have been received by the college from industry.
However, the college has received grants from UGC and the State Govt. under
various major and minor research projects which have led to purchase of
instruments, computers and books.
3.3.4 What are the research facilities made available to the students and
research scholars outside the campus / other research laboratories?
• There is no official collaboration yet on the research facilities outside the
campus for students and research scholars.

has always encouraged its faculty members for collaborative work with
faculty members of other academic institutions and statutory bodies.
For example, there are collaborations between
(i) Dr. Adity Sarbajna of Department of Zoology with the Directorate of
NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015

books and is a subscriber to N-LIST Consortium under NME-ICT Project.
Most of the departments also have departmental library to support
research.
• There are some well-equipped laboratories in the college suitable for
pursuing research work.
• Computing facility is provided to every department with related
accessories.
• There is also a reprographic facility in the college.
• The college has provided free and unlimited internet facility to all the
science and commerce departments and in a limited way to the Humanities
departments under NME-ICT Project and has also added recently a
designated free Wi-Fi zone in the campus. This is used by the faculty
members for gaining better knowledge on their respective subject. This can
also be used for doing various research works.
3.3.6 What are the collaborative research facilities developed / created by
the research institutes in the college? For ex. Laboratories, library,
instruments, computers, new technology etc.
There is no formal collaboration with other research institutes and therefore
question of developing any research facility by such institutes does not arise.
However several individual faculty members who are engaged in research have
collaborations with their peers in other institutes such as Calcutta University,
S.N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, West Bengal State Fisheries
Department, Department of Environment Govt. Of West Bengal, IPGME& R,
SSKM Hospital etc.

Strength
All sanctioned posts are filled
up.
Mutual understanding among
the teachers are quite well
tuned and hence amicable
relationship is maintained
between teachers and students
Personal attention outside
Opportunities
There is opportunity of improving the
teaching-learning standard by
continuous monitoring to enforce
accountability of both students and
teachers
NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015
Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 312 of 381
regular class is given to
students requiring extra
guidance
Weakness
Perennial weakness of this
department is over admission
during last few years
There exist no way to check the
performance and development
of students of Part III course
Challenges
Second and Third year classes
are delayed due to late
publication of results by the
University. Hence completing
the syllabus becomes a
challenge
To monitor the performance of
students of Part III is a
challenge
Future Plan
To renovate and revamp the department with separate cubicles for all the
full-time faculty members for more concentration on research activities.
To improve the teaching-learning process by assigning separate teachers
as mentors for each year students.
Soft Record of progress of Honours classes to be kept for each of the
three years.

Two spacious laboratories ,
seminar library
conducting regular tests for
students.
Can conduct various
workshops for students with
proper certification in different
applied streams of Botany.
Weakness
Ratio of various instruments
w.r.t. students strength is quite
low. This is a major problem
for conducting practical classes.
Challenges
With low teacher-student ratio
it is extremely difficult to
conduct theory as well as
practical classes resulting in
unequal attention towards
students.
All classes are to be dealt in 2
laboratories only
Future Plan
To conduct student seminars on the topics of their curriculum.
Provide access to internet for all students, especially of the final
year.
Installing certain equipments to cater to the needs of students.
To conduct more number of remedial classes.

4. POST ACCREDITATION SUMMARY:
Recommendations made in the
first cycle
Implementation carried out by the
College
1. The college should try to
introduce some job oriented
modern courses like Optical Fiber
Communications, Diet &
Nutrition, Electronic Science,
Information Technology,
Management Courses, Functional
English, Spoken English,
Tourism and Travel etc. at the
Degree/Diploma level in a phased
manner.
Certificate courses have been
introduced in Communicative
English, Performing arts,
Photography and Computer
Applications. A language laboratory
has also been created from the present
year.
2 The institute as a whole should
introduce Internet facilities for all
the stake holders.
Internet facilities are available for the
teachers and the students. Wi-Fi is
available in the library and in certain
designated areas of the campus.
3 Modernization and
computerization of the library
should be given priority by the
college authorities. The library
needs to be enriched with more
Text and Reference books and
Journals. Provision for a more
spacious Reading Room should
be made.
An additional area of 533 sq ft has
been added to the Library. There has
been a 16% increase in text and
reference books. The Library has
begun subscription to INFLIBNET to
facilitate access to journals. Issue and
return of books is in progress.
4 The Career Guidance Cell and the
Grievance Redressal Cell need to
be streamlined and strengthened
Career guidance cell conducts regular
counseling sessions for the final year
students. Profile mapping exercise is
also conducted for the final year
students.
The college has established a
grievance cell and a grievance box is
available outside the Principal's
office. Students and other
stakeholders may also submit
grievances through the website.
Grievances, if any, are discussed,
NAAC Re-accreditation Self Study Report 2015
Surendranath College Kolkata-9 Page 370 of 381
appropriate actions are taken and later
disposed of by the head of the
institution
5 The college ought to organize
workshops for the students
regularly to improve their
communications skills –
particularly in English vocabulary
and personality development
A certificate course has been
introduced for Communicative
English. A language lab is also there
in the College.
6 Sanctioned but vacant teaching
posts (33%) should be filled up
by the authority on priority basis.
The college does not have any
authority to fill the vacant sanctioned
post as it is the prerogative of the
West Bengal College Services
Commission
7 Canteen and Health Service
facilities for students, teachers
and staff need improvement.
The canteen has been remodeled and
provides hygienic food to the
students. Facilities for safe drinking
water have been created. Healthcare
facilities from the Students Health
Home are available to the students
8 The college should try to
minimize high dropout rates.
There are a number of reasons for the
high dropout rate. The college has
conducted a detailed dropout analysis
and identified the possible reasons for
the high dropout, many of which are
beyond the control of the college. At
the same time, feedback on
institutional provisions, teaching
learning and other aspects are
collected from the students to identify
specific areas that might need up
gradation.
9 The college needs satellite
campus for proper academic
development.
The College is involved in the process
of negotiation with the concerned
authorities for a second campus
10 The college may establish a
Women‘s Cell and Grievance
redressal Cell.
Women's cell and grievance redressal
cell are in place.
11 Department like Physics may
think of starting Post Graduate
courses provided necessary
infrastructure is made available.
Lack of infrastructure and a depletion
of faculty strength prevents
immediate introduction of a PG
course in Physics.
