1. Feedback Mechanism

Self evaluation is an important thing to improve the quality of education. The college conducts feedback process to evaluate the standard of education in the college. The feedback from students is taken about the college and the teachers. Feedback from other stakeholders like Alumni and Parents is also taken regarding curriculum and other activities.

2. Objectives of the Practice

• To improve the administrative and academic quality of the college
• To facilitate students with facilities
• To participate the stakeholders in decision making process
• To increase the quality of teaching-learning process
• To create a platform for the plan of action for the next year

3. The Context

The college always tries to provide various academic and infrastructural facilities to students. But it wants to know their expectations. Many a time, students do not express their opinions and complaints about the college administration or about the teaching-learning shortcomings. For this, feedback mechanism becomes important to point out these things. This helps to improve the quality of teaching. This mechanism also gives an opportunity to the teachers to introspect and improve their teaching using various teaching tools.

4. The Practice

IQAC of the college prepares the questionnaires and provides those to the feedback committee. The committee plans the schedule of taking feedback from the students. Generally, at the end of the session, the feedback questionnaires are provided to the students. These questionnaires include responses about the college, teachers and overall performance. The responses are in four point scale of the performance. After their responses, those questionnaires are collected and analyzed. The outcomes are discussed in the meeting of the IQAC and proper action is taken.

Same procedure was conducted in this year also. Students were satisfied about academic and infrastructural facilities provided by the college. They were satisfied with the teachers and their teaching skills. Alumni of the college and the parents were also satisfied with the curriculum, academic and infrastructural facilities.

5. Evidence of Success

Students are building their capacities to speak out. Teaching-learning process is getting student centered and ICT oriented. Students, teachers, Alumni and parents are taking part in decision making. The bond of teachers, students and all stakeholders is getting strong. The plan of action is more students centric.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Most of the time Alumni and parents don’t take interest to come to college whenever asked for meeting. So it becomes difficult to take their feedback. The feedback committee takes proper decision to reach them for their feedback. This year, the committee circulated the feedback forms to the students to bring the feedback of their parents. The same was applied for alumni. This was done cleverly and the feedback was received successfully.

7. Notes (Optional)

Ours is a small college. We try to point out the basic requirements of the students. So it is important for us to have their responses about their needs to improve the teaching-learning process. The college focusses on the alround development of the students. So, apart from teaching-learning, it concentrates on the extra-curricular activities. For this, the college has NSS, Adult Education, Women Cell, Career Guidance Cell, Sports and Cultural departments. The college provides them platforms and opportunities in this regard. Other colleges may focuss the activities related to such departments to implement best practices.
