PREFACE
Smt. K. G. Mittal College of Arts and Commerce, Malad West, Mumbai was established in 1979 by the trustees of Marwari Vidyalaya Trust with a vision to impart quality education and to inculcate ethical values among the students of nearby suburbs. After being accreditated B+ by NAAC in 2004, our Institution has made rapid progress with the co-ordinated efforts of the Management, staff and students. This attempt to present Self Study Report is to highlight our strengths without overshadowing our weaknesses.
Diligent and meticulous efforts have gone into preparing this report which focuses primarily on evaluating the Departmental progress, effectiveness of the institutional policies and practices and also to analyze our weaknesses and challenges.
It is noteworthy to state that the Institution has closely scrutinised and followed the guidelines and recommendations of the last peer team to get fruitful results. With the purpose of reaccreditation by NAAC, we offer ourselves, for, we are sure this will fetch positive changes and strengthen our framework for the pursuit of excellence in education and holistic development of students.
We, at Mittals, heartily welcome the peer team and look forward to their visit.
Dr. Suhasini B. Arya Principal
I am happy to present the Re-Accreditation Report of Marwari Vidyalaya Sanchalit Smt.
Kamaladevi Gauridutt Mittal College to National Assessment and Accreditation Council. This
report is a testimony to our constant endeavour to encompass and excel at a vast gamut of varied
fields of activities that include learning, technology, sports, cultural activities, personal
enhancement, and skills with special emphasis on ethics. In fact, all these activities influence and
go into shaping a fine character that will eventually turn into a responsible citizen.
The purpose of higher education is not only to enhance knowledge and skills but also to
develop abilities to face challenges posed continuously by the changing times. Our motto has
been to foster excellence and to enrich personality of students which collectively will team up as a
better society.
The mission envisaged by the management of our Institution strives to provide
educational opportunities to one and all, without any form of distinction, to groom the students
into leaders, entrepreneurs and above all, good human beings with ethical values. Apart from
making our students academically inclined, we also focus on developing social responsibility and
self-reliance into our young enthusiasts.
The ensuing pages of this report illustrate the extent of progress we have made and the
giant strides we have taken in the field of Higher Education. It also showcases how sincerely and
seriously we have followed the suggestions of the peer team to further develop and enhance the
skills of our students and faculty.
We have accomplished a vast scale updation of educational qualifications of the faculty
members in our college in the past ten years. The facilities required by the faculty to upgrade their
academic qualifications have been provided by the management in every possible way. The
Management of our Institution has constantly emphasised on the professional faculty members
such as CA.s, lawyers and others, exploiting their expertise in their fields to the advanced learners
in the form of guidance during internship, entrance tests for C.A, C.S and other professional
courses. This has resulted in some of our students faring exceedingly well at various professional
and competitive exams.
This report is a testimony to the collective efforts of the teaching and non-teaching
members of the entire college staff, who have worked beyond the call of duty, to enhance the
quality of education imparted in the college. Not only at the academic front, we have also been
very vibrant in instilling consciousness among our students for community-oriented activities and
social issues, since CSR has become an integral part of the corporate world. Various committees
in our college like NSS, NCC, DLLE, CDC and WDC etc partake many such endeavours that
positively influence the young minds.
We are thankful to the Government of Maharashtra, University of Mumbai and other
college authorities for their kind and willing guidance.
We have been able to provide wholesome education to the students with the constant
guidance and foresightedness of our Management in areas like improving academic standards,
qualifications of our faculty, students and alumni participation, updation of library, computer
laboratories, infrastructure etc.
Seeking excellence is a continuous process with many pitfalls on the way. It is critical in
the process of achievement of the goal to continually evaluate, change, and, in some cases,
completely revise one’s strategies. We are aware that there are still many areas with a scope for
improvement. But we are committed to overcome our limitations and are determined to reach
higher. We look towards future with bigger goals and greater aspirations.

At the time of admission, the knowledge and the skills of the students are judged
primarily on the basis of the score obtained by them in the previous examination.
To bridge the knowledge gap, special efforts are made by taking remedial
teaching lectures. As majority of our students are from vernacular medium,
special attention is paid in the tutorials by the subject teacher in improving their
oral and written proficiency. Worksheets are provided in Mathematics subject
which most of the students in F.Y.B.Com find difficult to deal with. Tutorials,

environmental issues which sensitize them towards the hardships and challenges faced by
them on daily basis.

The „Green Club‟ of our college also plays an active role in the college. Through lectures,
visits, Poster Making Competition, tree plantation, paper bags etc, the Green Club
generates awareness among the students about protecting environment and conservation
of natural resources.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/ learning needs
of advanced learners.
As the medium of teaching is primarily lecture-oriented, the subject teachers identify the
advanced learners by asking them questions, formulas etc.
Subjects at F.Y.B.Com level like Business Communication and Mathematics are allotted
tutorials by the University. This helps the teachers to interact with the smaller group (30
students per batch). Regular assignments in the tutorials help the teachers to identify the
advanced learners.
In Business Communication, students from vernacular medium are encouraged to
improve their oral and written proficiency by reading short stories, news papers, listening
to television news in English and writing short paragraph, reports, one-minute speech
and by holding mock-interviews and group-discussion etc.
The students with better skills in oral and written English are encouraged to participate in
debates, elocution and essay writing competitions at college and inter-collegiate levels.
Worksheets are provided by Mathematics and Stats. Department for revision to the
students. Advanced learners are encouraged to opt for Computer Application subject at
S.Y/T.Y.B.Com level.
26
In subjects like Accountancy, attention is paid at the individual level to guide advance
learners for CA, CS and other related Professional Courses entrance exam and coaching.
Our student KAPIL (Roll-No:-71) batch (2009-2010) bagged 30th rank in C.A (final)
examination. He was guided by our CAs-faculty in Accounts Department.
Our computer lab is fully equipped with trained faculty to give individual attention to the
students (batch of 25 to 30 students) in subject Computer Systems and Application and at
BSC (IT) self-finance course.
Projects/Assignments are also assigned to the students on the basis of their performance
in the class tests/semester end exams. Challenging projects are given to the advanced
learners. They are guided by our faculty members individually regarding research
methodology, compilation etc. Motivational Lectures on exam related issue like Stress

examinations are held for T.Y.B.Com students to prepare, themselves for the final
examination.
2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the
academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of
drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged,
slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.?)
As large chunk of our students belongs to the economically weaker section, the
Institution is very sensitive to the needs of such students and tries to extend all possible
assistance to them.
1. By giving them books free of cost from the Book Bank for the entire year.
2. By giving them financial support in the form of Govt Scholarships.
3. By way of installments in fee payment.
4. By personal counseling by the staff members.

students who find difficult to understand lectures.
The prime motive is that poor background and financial difficulties do not come
in the way of their studies and make them leave the studies in between. Students with
very low attendance are called for a meeting along with their parents.
The effects of all these preventive measures in our college are taken by the
institution to control the dropout‟s rates. It has been observed that after the introduction of
CBGS system, which allows students to keep the term and additional exams, the students
tend to be casual and do not take the examination seriously and fail in large numbers
especially from F. Y. B. Com. to S. Y. B. Com. level.

7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page…) which
havecontributed to the achievement of the Institutional objectives and/or
contributed to the quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
BEST PRACTICE-1
VISION: -
To groom our students into self reliant individuals with strong innate human values, to
sensitize them about the social responsibility with the participatory web of management and
excellence in education.
IN SHRI AUROBINDO‘S WORDS:-
The purpose of education cannot be even at its best, to merely create a literate individual
or a highly informed person crammed with information and facts, or to prepare an individual to
find a job, or create a good worker, a skilled technician and scientist, or an efficient doctor or
lawyer, or a capable industrialist or politician, even to create a good and law abiding citizen.
These may be needed but they are not sufficient in themselves, nor do they create the whole man
or a great nation. Education must lay stress on Brahmavidya, not rejecting but embracing and
perfecting matter and life.
―WE MUST HAVE LIFE BUILDING, MAN MAKING AND CHARACTER
BUILDING EDUCATION‖—SWAMI VIVEKANANDA.
―THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF KNOWLEDGE TO BE ACQUIRED-EXTERNAL
AND INTERNAL‖---- MUNDAKA UPANISHAD 1.1.4
LORD SHRI KRISHNA SAYS IN BHAGAVAD GITA:‖THE TRUTH ABOUT
ACTION MUST BE KNOWN AND THE TRUTH ABOUT PROHIBITED ACTION ALSO
MUST BE KNOWN; EVEN SO THE TRUTH OF INACTION MUST BE KNOWN. FOR
MYSTERIOUS ARE THE WAYS OF ACTION‖--- GITA 4.17
1. TITLE OF THE PRACTICE:-
Internal grooming of under privileged students who are first generation learners.
2. GOAL:-
The college aims at providing holistic education which enables students to achieve both:
External development and Internal development by ensuring the enhancement of their emotional,
social, intellectual and spiritual capabilities.
3. THE CONTEXT:-
Education in the modern context is often evaluated in terms of how much information and
skills one possesses. To a considerable extent the present system is profession oriented. But
education in ancient India was based on spiritualism which aimed at preparing the students for
complete education so that material pursuits do not get upper hand at the expense of moral values
of life.
112
A purely profession oriented education has led to focus on materialistic achievements
resulting in an atmosphere of excessive competition.
Today majority of the students are running behind the „PREYA‟ neglecting the
„SHREYA‟. They are selecting the „PLEASURABLE‟ ignoring the „PREFERABLE‟.
They are struggling for „EXTERNAL DEVELOPEMENT‟ avoiding the struggle for
„INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT‟. Students are under extreme pressure to succeed at all costs.
Scams, corruption and other criminal activities are just getting frequent these days.
Today, majority of the students believe that human system consists only of the sensory system
and try to find pleasure only in the sensory systems; naturally, they will come into mutual
conflict. Greed and violence and all other evils come one after the other because of this
materialism.
The problems observed are: - Collapse of soul
Wastage of resources
Life in vain.
It is high time to realize the need of the hour and rise to the occasion bringing back the past glory
of mother earth. It therefore becomes highly essential to reorient the students with the learning
that leads to their Internal Development.
4. THE PRACTICE:-
Our Teaching staff is fully aware about the two considerations at the time of working on
Internal Development of the students :
: Being a role Model
: Developing holistic relationship with students.
FIRSTLY,Being a role model is very important. This is because (It is rightly said that) Students
will do what you do and not what you say.
SECONDLY, it is very important to develop holistic relationship with students because students
will listen to teachers only if there is a good teacher-student relationship and if they respect
teachers.
In order to work on Internal Development of students, Head of the Institution always
takes the opportunity to speak to students regarding moral values, ethics, spirituality, etc. Head of
the Institution engages lecture during free hours to convey a lecture on topics that leads to Internal
development such as great deeds of great personalities (e.g.: Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam), short moral
stories. This is done to groom the students intellectually.
Even teaching faculty during the lectures and even otherwise tries to create interest
amongst students to work on Internal Development. Innovative methods are used to make
learning a meaningful experience. Once the syllabus is over, along with revision there is a group
discussion on spiritual topics, role plays, debates, dialogue, etc.
The students are asked to come up with beautiful, spiritual saying on spiritual personality
on a chart paper (provided by college) , which is displayed in the college so that students can read
and imbibe.
NSS Department of our college make students prepare and perform a skit/street play on
15th August. The theme of the same is to throw light on the path towards Internal Development. In
NSS Camp, skit competition on beautiful topics such as: Life, Qualities that we learn from nature,
any freedom fighter, any devotee of God, Patriotism etc. are organised. NSS special camp helps in
developing a sense of responsibility amongst NSS volunteers. Volunteers are made to do prayers,
meditation, yoga and other exercises.
113
Other than the above mentioned practices the institute also organizes the following
programmes for the internal grooming of the students:
Community development programmes
Student Enrichment Cell programmes
Guest lectures
Awareness programmes
Programmes to develop social behavior of students, etc.
The only motive behind organizing such activities is to ensure Internal Development of
students, not rejecting but embracing and perfecting external development.
Students are taught many techniques of prayer, meditation, yoga and other exercises.
Every student possesses the potential to become the architect of an ideal society. The young
generation is the pillar of the nation and educational institutions play a vital role in building and
sustaining the future. The college is trying to develop students internally so that the youth power
can be properly channelized and harnessed for betterment of mankind, through holistic learning.
5. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS:-
A man of intelligence separates the two: the preferable and the pleasurable. The
preferable should be selected because of its higher value; in comparison with the pleasurable.
During the interaction with students and alumni, it is noticed that they have evolved into
responsible citizens because they know to differentiate between right and wrong. They are better
prepared to face the wrong of the world and to eradicate all evils right from the roots. Values like
team management, social consciousness, team work, leadership qualities, co-operation, care for
others, divinity etc. instilled in them by college has helped them to integrate with society and to
progress in their life and careers. It is noticeable that there has been hardly any instance of eve
teasing, ragging, group clashes etc. amongst students.
6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:-
The importance of values has diminished because the gap between ideals and reality,
precept and practice has widened. Excessive focus on materialism, Pleasurable, Preya, and
External Development; need to succeed at any cost and impatience with rules, regulations and
discipline has led to a growing immunity to erosion of values.
External Development has become the aim ideally. External Development should be
considered as a mean and Internal Development should be considered as an aim. If External
Development is considered as a mean to achieve Internal Development then external development
will be achieved morally and whatever success is achieved will be used only for a good cause.
But, if external development is considered as an aim, then the way of achieving the same will be
immoral and use of the same will also be immoral.
Problems encountered
The major problem encountered is the lack of enthusiasm amongst the students as they belong to
first generation.
114
Resources required:
Finance: Management has always been supportive in all the planned endeavors to make it a
success.
Books: The institution has a full fledged Book Bank facility which provides under privileged
students with the required books.
Teachers: The Institution is blessed with a dedicated team of faculty members who are committed
for the internal grooming of the students.
BEST PRACTICE-II
1. TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: -
External development of under privileged students who are first generation learners.
2. GOAL:-
The institution aims to achieve the principle of the teaching and learning process i.e.
External Development through:
Developing interest of the students in the subjects.
To have interactive sessions in the classroom.
To encourage students to get their doubts solved.
To strengthen our students to achieve success in the external competitive world.
3. THE CONTEXT:-
It is very important for the students to have memory and understanding in order to have
success in the practical world. This is because:
MEMORY IS NOT ENOUGH
UNDERSTANDING IS REQUIRED
Lot of emphasis is put on memory in order to have good academic score. Memorizing
subjects is required but if understanding of the concepts of the subjects is lacking, it will be very
difficult to do wonders in the practical world. The institute gives immense importance to making
teaching and learning process interesting and thereby develops interest of the students in
understanding the concepts along with memorizing the same.
4. THE PRACTICE:-
The students are the part of the learning process and therefore, during the lectures,
discussion is encouraged. The students are also encouraged to ask questions and get their doubts
solved. Demonstration method is used to explain various concepts which help to have better
understanding. Under this method, students are made into groups and the teacher explains the
concept to this group. The group performs a small skit to demonstrate the concept to the class.
Education in ancient India was based on continuous evaluation of the students and
therefore, the same is emphasized in the institute. Different forms are used for assessment to make
continuous evaluation process interesting and not burdensome. To name a few, various forms of
assessment used are group discussion, assignment, viva voce, games and class test. Other than
above mentioned practices, the institute implements the following in order to ensure external
development of students:
Social and economic inclusion.
Academic inclusion for global exposure.
Exposure to job market.
115
Motivate students to expose their talents through organizing various competitions(Intra
and Inter collegiate)
Guest lectures
Interaction of the students with alumni to provide them with role models.
Career awareness programmes
Industrial visit
5. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS:-
When the students are shown the right direction in the right manner, External
Development is sure to happen.
During our interaction with the students and alumni, it is noticed that they have
developed positive outlook towards life and that they desire to understand things rather than just
memorizing it. Students who have passed out have done well in the corporate world and some
have done extremely well in the academic field. To pen down a few:
1. Dr.Arvind S. Luhar : Ex- Student of Mittal College from Vernacular Medium is the Head
of the Department and Associate Professor (selection grade) in Accountancy at
Government of Maharashtra‟s Ismail Yusuf College, Jogeshwari East, Mumbai. (selected
through Maharashtra Public Service Commission)
2. Ms.SunitaVyankateshKabade, our alumni from vernacular medium who is well qualified,
M.Com., LLB and post graduate in cyber law is a practicing advocate.
3. Dr.NishikantJha : Our alumni did M.Com., ICWAI, PGDBM(MBA), Ph.D. He has
around 24 books to his credit, published approximately 36 research papers on different
subjects in ISBN Reference Book /ISSN Research Journals. He has also presented around
42 Research papers in National & International conferences. He is presently working at
Thakur College, University of Mumbai.
4. CA KapilChittora, our alumni from vernacular medium has scored 89% in B.Com., 71%
in M.Com., cleared CPT (ICAI) with 83%, cleared IPCC with 68.86%. He came out with
flying colours in CA final wherein he secured 64.75% and stood 30th in AIR. This was
another feather in his cap which has made the institution very proud. He is currently
working as Assistant Manager in Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP.
The following table is the evidence of external success in terms of percentage (T.Y.B.Com):

6. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:-
Problems encountered
The major problem encountered is lack of enthusiasm amongst the students as they
belong to first generation.
Most of our students are financially week which leads to a problem especially while
organizing programmes involving cost eg. Industrial Visit, Job oriented computer courses,
etc.
Many of our students are working to earn and pay education fees and, therefore face the
problem of lack of time to attend various programmes organized by the institute to ensure
external development of students.
Resources required:
Finance: Management has always been supportive in all the planned endeavors to make it
a success.
Books: The institution has a full fledged Book Bank facility which provides under
privileged students the required books free of cost.
Teachers: The Institution is blessed with a dedicated team of experienced faculty
members who are committed to the external grooming of the students.

effective learning and teaching and to keep pace with its academic growth. The strength of the
students and various academic programmes are taken into account while updating the
infrastructure. The college also applies for additional grant-in- aid from the UGC. The library has
a vast collection of reference books, journals, e- journals, periodicals for reference. The library
also subscribes to English, Hindi, Gujarati magazines and newspapers. The Computer labs are

151
GOVERNANCE,LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT:
The vision and mission of the institution is achieved by striving towards excellence in
academic, co- curricular and extracurricular activities. This enhances a positive and energetic
environment for all round development. Further the needs of the students are addressed and every
endeavour is made to hone their analytical skills. Exposing students to real life situations also
enriches their experience. The Principal, the LMC & the IQAC members play a pivotal role in
designing and implementing quality policies and plans. The management‟s decision to go in for
ISO certification as an internal audit mechanism has helped in the systematization and
standardization of the functioning of the Institution. The Open door policy maintained by the
Principal and Management for transparency and smooth functioning ensures redressing
grievances effectively. The resources are utilised to the optimum for the benefit of students as
well as staff.
The members of the management are highly experienced in the area of functioning and
managing educational institutions. They believe in leading by example. Hence, they serve as role
models for the faculty and students. Their ability to inspire, commitment and dedication towards
realising the mission and vision of the college is commendable. The democratic and decentralized
process in administration is one of the best practices followed by the institution. The Principal
delegates authority to the Heads of departments and Chairpersons of all Committees. The
responsibility of the various committees is well defined, and they are given authority to conduct
their activities independently. This practice has ensured wider acceptability of decisions taken,
and also ensured better co ordination among the departments.
The Budget of the Institution is prepared keeping in mind the expenses required to meet
the day-to-day needs of the college. Contributions from well-wishers are also effectively
mobilised for the requirements of the college.

is followed by a revision of basic mathematical concepts, tips for writing correct English with an
overview of Basic English grammar rules and a session in soft skills. Various environmental
initiatives are also taken by the college units like the NSS, NCC, DLLE, Green Club etc. These
initiatives include supporting a green campaign, energy conservation and making the college eco
– friendly. The NSS unit trains its members to produce paper bags out of old news papers and
distribute them to vendors in the vicinity. These bags are also made use of by the college canteen.
The canteen staffs also ensure minimum wastage of food. The NSS unit has also undertaken a
project under the “SWACHCH BHARAT ABHIYAAN “. The students are also apprised of E-
Waste management techniques.
152
Best Practices like, “Internal and External Development Of under privileged students who
are first generation learners” have been conducted, the aim of which has been providing holistic
education, with an enhancement of emotional, social, intellectual, social and spiritual
development.
CONCLUSION:
It is our firm belief that our college has come a long way forward in the last two decades.
Apart from making our students academically inclined, we have also focussed on developing
social responsibility and self-reliance. Besides, every attempt is geared towards value based
education so as to mould them into good, human beings laced with moral values. We, at Mittal
College, are always on our toes towards the attainment of our mission by mobilising all available
resources and strategies. Our efforts have borne fruits with the foresightedness and commitment
of our Management. We are very optimistic that we will stand as an academic force to reckon
with in the near future in the field of academic excellence, students enrichment and their overall
personality development so that they can confidently conquer the challenges in the competitive
world.
POST-NAAC INITIATIVES
153
POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES
Improvement on the suggestions of Peer Team of 2004-09
Recommendations of the peer team of 2004-09 acted as a light house for significant
quality sustenance and enhancement in the following areas:
Regarding the updation of educational qualifications of the faculty members, it is
heartening to note that five of our faculty have completed their PH.D in the last few years and
four existing faculty members are already in the process of completing it. It is also noteworthy
that five of our faculty members have the privilege of holding M.Phil degree. The Management is
very keen to appoint new recruits who are already having their doctorates. The institution has
appointed three doctorate holders in place of retiring faculty last year. Under FIP scheme, teachers
can be granted study leave for the completion of their Ph.D. But since the teachers have crossed
the age bar as per UGC guidelines this facility of study leave was not availed themselves of. Still
they completed their Ph.D along with their regular duty. The facilities required by the faculty to
upgrade their academic qualifications have always been provided by the college and required
leave was also granted. Our faculty members are also involved in Minor research projects in
collaboration with the University of Mumbai on areas like Bancassurance in life insurance,
Medical tourism etc. Two of our faculty members are waiting for their approval from UCG for
minor research projects.
The Management has continuously harped on the fact that the professional faculty
members such as CA’S, lawyers etc, should provide their professional expertise and guidance to
the advanced learners in the form of internship, entrance tests for CA’s/CS etc. The results have
been evident as our student Mr.Kapil Chittora of T. Y. B. Com (2009-2010) secured 30th rank in
the CA Main Examination in the year, and he is now well placed with a reputed firm. Another
feather in our cap is the success of our ex-student Ms.Sunita.V. Kabade, who is now practising in
cyber laws. She was encouraged and guided to take up this challenging area by our law faculty.
Another ex-student, Mr. Ganesh Ghule of T. Y. B. Com. (2010-11) has qualified for NET recently
under the constant guidance and motivation of our faculty. Many other students have also
benefitted from the consultancy of our faculty, whose contact details are not available. However,
the respective faculty have maintained the relevant documents.
As per the suggestions to increase the number of relevant journals in our library, special
efforts have been made by our management. The college has subscribed to journals and have
slowly increased the number of journals over a period of time. We have also subscribed to e-
journals. Our college has recently joined the INFLIBNET’S N-LIST programme which gives us
access to multiple e-journals, both national and international. These e-books and e-journals can be
downloaded and printed using login id and password. Hence the user is free to use these e-
resources even from the comfort zone of their home.
Regarding the recommendations on library services, our college takes pride to state that
the library facilities have greatly expanded. There are two full fledged libraries, one for the
154
professional courses and the other for the B.Com. Course. The budget for purchasing of books has
been increased so as to purchase more books for different programmes. We have used the UGC
grants to purchase books under the XI plan. We have started the book bank scheme to help the
needy, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled tribe students who cannot afford to buy books on their own.
The students are given the books for the whole year semester wise. In the Self finance section
there is also a book bank scheme where T.Y.B.SC.IT students are given up to five very expensive
books at a time for each semester till exam. The students have to keep a refundable deposit to
avail the facility. Since these books are very costly, the students take benefit of this scheme.
As regards the number of computers, our college takes pride to state that a separate full-
fledged computer laboratory has been set up with 71 computers exclusively for the B.Sc. (IT)
Department. Besides, our computer laboratory is well equipped with 37 computers for the B.COM
programme. All the relevant software required for the course and syllabus are purchased regularly
and used for academic purposes. Our college is a licence holder of Microsoft and uses only
original version. Our computer labs are also equipped with inbuilt projector which helps in
teaching, presentations and practical sessions.
It is commendable to state that the number of students who are involved in NSS and NCC
has considerably increased in the last few years. The students have been thoroughly motivated and
convinced of the benefits of joining these units. Our college has one NSS unit comprising one
hundred volunteers, with an approximate 40% being girl students. NSS Unit conducts seven days
special residential camp in which various social awareness programmes are organised in the
respective campsite. Girl volunteers also render active participation in all the activities. Our NCC
unit comprises of approximately 15 cadets. It is the matter of great prestige that
(Ms.SoniBelagola) of T.Y.Com (2013-2014) participated and represented our college in the
National Republic Day Parade of January 2014 at New Delhi. Since most of the students have
taken up part time jobs to fund their expenses, participation in NCC is comparatively low.
However, continuous efforts are being made to counsel and rope them in NCC Unit.
In accordance with the suggestion on setting up of a formal Placement Cell, our college
has formally constituted a Career Placement Cell. The Cell is very active in inviting reputed
corporate houses such as TCS, WIPRO, FLY HIGH AVIATION ACADEMY, INFOSYS, and
KINGFISHER etc every year. So far, nearly 38 students have been placed through campus
selection. Students are also briefed by the corporate personnel about the various career options.
The number of placed students in campus selection is relatively less, due to the fact that the
students have their own preference in career choices. Besides, majority of students go for jobs
while pursuing their course, which they prefer to continue even after the completion of the course.
Many students opt for higher studies like M.Com, MBA etc.
Our college has a Grievances Redressal Cell which addresses to the complaints and
problems of the students. Performance Evaluation System for teaching staff has been initiated
through feedback forms, which are given to the students who are very regular in attendance.
These feedback forms are analysed and suggestions for improvement are communicated to the
155
respective faculty member. Feedback is also obtained about teaching and non teaching staff
through regular Student Council meetings. The students can put forth their grievances through
suggestion boxes and email,[email protected]. Their suggestions and grievances are
attended to and redressed by the relevant departments and authorities.
Alumni Association plays a pivotal role in the development of our college. The alumni
meet at least once in a year in which they interact with the regular students and expose them to
various career options. It is decided to organise Alumni meet on every 15th August, as being a
public holiday and convenient for them. Some of the well placed alumni like Mr.Arvind Luhar,
Mr.Nishikant Jha, Ms.Sunita Kabade, Mr.Kapil Chittora etc. are at our beck and call to provide
suggestions on various academic matters. Alumni are regularly invited for celebrations and
festivals of the college who are ever ready to support us in our endeavours.
To meet with the requirements of continuous monitoring of the quality of education and
implementation of various policies, Internal Quality Assurance Cell has been constituted in 2004
IQAC holds regular meetings with the staff members and monitors the teaching-learning process
and evaluates the academic progress. In addition, the IQAC also plans out various curricular and
extracurricular activities, imparts guidance to various committees and acts a liaison between the
management and the staff. IQAC also puts forth various suggestions for the improvement of
infrastructure and other facilities of the college.
We have travelled a long distance forward with the constant guidance and foresightedness
of our Management in areas like improving the academic standards, qualifications of our faculty,
students and alumni participation, updation of library, computer laboratories, infrastructure etc.
The valuable suggestions imparted by the NAAC for the further development of our
college have proved immensely fruitful. We are still on the march towards preparing our students
for the constantly changing academic world and the modern technological advancements. We
aspire to do our best.
