dance etc., Also many competitions like eating competition, texting competition,

cycle race, musical chair were conducted. The students used this chance to

exhibit their talents as they were not restricted in any way and as it was not a

competition but a stage where their talents were recognized and appreciated.

• Through this the Student Union raised a fund of Rs.12, 650/- towards the welfare

of the college by conducting this fun carnival.

• Fund Raising Committee organized a Sale on 15th Sept. 2012. Students from all

� Implementation of New Academic Programmes in the year 2012 – 13

� 1 Undergraduate Self-Financed programme, 3 Diploma courses and 2

Certificate courses were initiated as mentioned in Part A of AQAR.

2. Innovations in Curricular Design and Transaction

• Integrated Curricular Model UG Curriculum

The UG Curriculum has been restructured to make it relevant and contextual with

the current trend. Interdisciplinary courses, Foundation Courses have been

included along with core and support courses. Each department is planning for

courses on Core Communicative Skills, to address the need of nearly 50% of

students who face difficulty with English Communication. These changes are

incorporated in the curriculum so as to ensure employability and innovation.

Another distinctive feature of this Integrated Curriculum is that all UG students

will be involved in Life Frontier Education where the academic learning is

extended to Community Service through action research. This restructured UG

Curriculum will be implemented from June 2013.

28 Core Communicative Skill courses and 28 Foundation courses in major were

designed in the curriculum by the various departments on the basis of expert’s

opinion, curriculum from other university, student feedback, relevance to local

needs, and entry level of students.
