Performance Monitoring:

Right from the time of admission, performance of every student is carefully monitored.

Based on the examination results, faculty advisors take up counselling of poor

performers and try to assess the reasons for their poor performance. HOD’s arrange

special classes for poor performers.

Periodic meetings are conducted by the Principal and HODs to review the results of

internal and external examinations.

The analysis of the results of end semester examinations is carried out, and further

discussed by HOD with the Principal.

Teaching staff members guide the students in their projects, monitor their performance

and counsel them regarding their performance, apart from regular teaching. Thus,

teachers play different roles like project guides, mentors, etc.

This process ensures the quality of the teaching process. Administration Academic

Coordinators and Class advisers closely monitor student performance and intimate the

parents.

Student evaluation:

At college level two cycle tests and one model exam are conducted for internal

evaluation. The university conducts the end semester examination.

Evaluation procedure & guidelines are given to the staff for both theory & practical

exams. Corrected answer scripts of internal exam are shown to the students. Students

are encouraged to express their doubts and irregularities observed, if any, in the

evaluation, to the notice of concerned teachers, and to HOD, if necessary. The results

are monitored by the HOD.
