Roever Engineering College (REC) is one of the reputed premier Engineering
Colleges in Perambalur, Trichy Region. REC was established by St. John Sangam
Charitable Trust under the aegis initiative of Dr. K. Varadharaajen the founder and
Chairman of Roever Educational and Social Developmental Institutions Perambalur. The
Trust has established 37 institutions with relevance to Educational, Social and Charitable
aspects in its 35 years of service in and around Perambalur. All the institutions are
established in memory of Reverend Fr. Hans Roever a German Missionary who established
a boys home in 1947 to spread education in and around Perambalur and his visions are
brought to reality by the deep and dedicated interest envisioned by the Chairman
Dr.K. Varadharaajen.
Higher Education
Under the auspices of the Trust, the Chairman and Managing Trustee
Dr.K.Varadharaajen has established and now manages a wide range of educational, social
and charitable institutions. A number of higher educational institutions, such as
Engineering and Technology Colleges, Arts and sciences College, Agricultural College,
Agricultural Research Center, College of Education, College of Physiotherapy, College of
Nursing, College of Pharmacy, Teacher Training Colleges, Management Institute have been
established throughout Perambalur district to give people of this region an opportunity to
avail the best quality education at affordable and reasonable costs. The trust also runs the
Agricultural Research Center (The Krish Vigyan Kendra), which undertakes research and
development in agricultural productivity and provides practical education to farmers.
School-Education
The Trust established a number of high schools throughout Perambalur region to
enable aspiring students from agricultural and economically backward families to benefit
from affordable primary education. A total of 5 higher secondary schools, 2 high schools, 4
elementary schools have been established in various parts of Perambalur district and they
have secured many state rank and have established themselves as a pioneer in providing
2
quality education and producing top-class students. Roever Schools strive to educate
students from economically backward families to achieve academic excellence in all fields.
Social-Activities
One of the most important but less publicized aspects of the Trust activities is the
establishment of social welfare and development institutions such as orphanages, centers for
physically and visually challenged, centers for the aged and homeless, rehabilitation center
for alcohol and drug addiction, HIV / AIDS counseling center, short-stay homes for women
and girls, etc., which carries on its work on a charitable basis.
Every year approximately 6000 students graduate from our colleges and around
8000 students from our various schools. A total of 15000 students are currently enrolled in
all the institutions. The Trust cares for over 1300 orphans, around 50 physically and 80
visually challenged children. All Roever educational institutions have gained a good
reputation as disciplined and academically excellent institutions. The trust in general, and
the Roever Educational and Social Welfare Institutions in particular, constantly strive to
explore innovative ways to educate children from all over India and to instill in them
discipline and confidence, along with a solid education, to face the world.
Trichy is a thriving commercial centre in Tamilnadu, situated on the banks of river
Cauvery. The fourth largest city in the state of Tamilnadu, has the reputation of housing the
Rockfort Temple, Sri Renganatha Swamy Temple (Srirangam) & Ancient Churches. Trichy

venture with TIDCO. The SEZ is well connected with all major cities/ regions of the
country with excellent road/ rail network. Gangaikondacholapuram, Siruvachur

Any doubt about evaluation is made clear to the students.
The performance of the students in all the tests is analyzed and they are advised
about their strength and weakness, whenever class tests and CIA tests are taken
the results of the students performance / are shown to the students to encourage
them or counsel them for better future performance.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches
adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively
impacted the system.
Formative Assessment
University is the sole authority for implementation of reforms in examination and
evaluation but faculty members who are a part of academic bodies of the university actively
propose for reforms. Even then for bringing about a positive change in the evaluation
practices, the institution adopts both formative and summative methods of evaluation.
Formative approach of evaluation includes measuring the student’s achievement through
class tests, assignments and seminar. The evaluation through these approaches gives lot of
information about student achievement after teaching a particular unit. The concerned
teacher may get some direction about the student and necessary steps regarding his/her
improvement can be pondered over. The summative evaluation is done during terminal
tests. Even if some students do not perform well or clear the eligibility condition, then an
extra chance is given to the student for his/her evaluation.
66
Summative Assessment
For summative approach attending classes is important for a student. By attending
classes he can write internal exams & final exams well. To achive this, for a class of 20
students, one faculty is alloted to clarify the doubts and to improve the performance in final
examination. This is how the institution uses the formative and summative evaluation
approaches in the campus.
2.5.5. Enumerate on how the Institution monitors and communicates the progress and
performance of students through the duration of the course /programme ?
Provide an analysis of the students results / achievements (Programme / course wise
for last four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of
achievement across the programmes / courses offered.
Regular tests are held, almost weekly, during the course. The institution evaluates
the students through three continuous internal assessment tests. The report is sent to the
head of institution after evaluating in a fair and secret manner. The parents are informed
through letters and over phone (for weak students). The record of the whole evaluation
process is transparent. The answer books are shown to the students. The institution arranges
to inform the parents the status of the students marks along with their class attendance.

University examination:
With regard to university examinations, there is a mechanism adopted by the
university for rederssal of grievance. Within 10 days of the announcement of the results,
students can apply for revaluation. Whenever necessary Anna University makes
arrangements for issuing photocopies of their answer scripts to the students after the
announcement of results. This allows the students to consult competent faculty to ensure
fairness of evaluation. Faculty and the liaison officer under instructions from principal
