2.12 How does IQAC Contribute/Monitor/Evaluate the Teaching & Learning processes :
A subject pool of faculty which maintains uniformity in Lesson Plans and assignments has been made functional in all
departments. Course file of individual faculty containing Course Pack, Assignments, Continuous Assessment Report
(CAR), Result Analysis etc. is evaluated by Academic Audit Committee and the report is submitted to IQAC. Content
Registers for each department incorporating the details of the lectures delivered along with the attendance of the students is
also maintained and regularly sent to IQAC by the respective departments. Monthly feedback from individual faculty
pertaining to number of classes allotted, number of classes conducted, number of classes substituted, extra classes taken,
average class attendance etc. submitted by each faculty in the first week of the subsequent month. One to one discussion
with the faculty was then initiated and measures taken to overcome and resolve issues of low attendance if any was
discussed at length.
Soliciting and incorporating feedback from students on curriculum, teaching, learning and evaluation is the main feature of
our system. The Feedback from students is taken by the HR department and is shared with the respective departments and
IQAC so that proper monitoring and evaluation of the Teaching & Learning is maintained.
Professional skill development training sessions are conducted periodically by the IQAC to explore ways to enhance
teacher effectiveness. The College promotes research, publications, paper presentations and participation in
international/national/regional workshops, conferences and symposia
IQAC periodically reviews testing and evaluation patterns which encourage creativity, originality and analytical thinking.
Faculty members are motivated to design contemporary, skill- based and value-added courses.
Periodic review of the teaching-learning process at the end of every semester is done to see the improvement in
performance.

3.1 Initiatives of the IQAC in Sensitizing/Promoting Research Climate in the institution
The IQAC forms part of the planning of research activities that are carried out by the institution. The Research Centre
headed by Dean, Research and Publications provides information and services in support of research activities carried
out within the College. The objective of the Centre is to assist the college community in gaining and managing
research collaborations, shared research activities, grants and international contracts. Initiatives to address large scale
multidisciplinary research challenges that influence global connections, raise teaching standards, and research policies
have been initiated by the Centre.
The recruitment process at VIPS embodies that Research is an important factor. Each faculty is encouraged to publish
at least one well-researched paper in a national or an international journal and present at least one paper in a
conference. 20 best UGC approved journals have been identified by each department and faculty members have been
motivated to publish their papers in these journals of repute. Faculty is encouraged and given incentives to take up
research grants. Anti-plagiarism check software (Turnitin) has been purchased.
The institute believes that research of the Faculty and the Classroom teaching must be in sync with each other.
However, since most of the programmes at the Institute is at the undergraduate level, research on such basic
theoretical concepts at UG level is not feasible. Nonetheless, the content to be taught has to be well researched upon,
while also looking at other detailed areas for research. Thus, teaching content and faculty research at the institute goes
in tandem to ensure that the students are able to benefit out of the Research of the Faculty. Right from the UG level,
departments adopt and promote the interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship enquiry encouraging collaborative
understanding and integration of multiple perspectives, languages and frameworks. Research is positioned at every
level of our academic programmes to promote research-based teaching and enhance scholarship through clearly
linking research, professional practice, creative work and teaching.
IQAC has initiated the following strategies for improvement of research development.
•Installation of the latest research software for all departments
•Technology transfer in accessing e- journals and other recent journal applications
•Application of SPSS, Moodle and R
•Research Training sessions in research technology offered regularly to all researchers.
