x Use of MOOCs, mobile study apps and other learning resources on the internet.
x Usage of software in learning English communication and other foreign languages.
x E-learning for bioinformatics, mathematics, geography etc. x Formation of Google groups for collaborative learning. x Making “Mind Maps” i.e. taking notes with key words and images. This
method helps the students to recollect for a longer time.

x “Z to A” Approach: In this, applications are explained first and then the concept behind it.
x Role Playing and Scenario Analysis Based Teaching. x “Mnemonics” for teaching and helping students recall larger pieces of
information like- processes, stages, types etc. It also helps to build vocabulary.
x Book reviews, group discussions, seminars/presentations, poster presentations, case study, mystery spotting, Market Fair etc.
x Hands-on training in science subjects for clear understanding of concepts. x Enrichment courses to fill up the voids in curriculum given by the
university. x Small research projects/surveys for better understanding and go beyond
syllabus x Mobiles are mainly used for announcing academic discussions and events x Teachers use the ICT enabled teaching method by preparing computer
assisted teaching aids. These are also animated and simulated to hold the attention of the learner.
x Departments have their study circles and wall paper to enable the students to collect material on the given topic and discuss them or display them.
x Departments encourage projects at the undergraduate level and in some departments this is evaluative. Students learn to work in a team, collect, analyze data and make presentations by using ICT.
x Project work which is evaluative is compulsory at the PG level which also incorporates a research component. The students can carry out project work in-house or in an industry or research institute. This empowers the students to learn in an alien environment, adapt to the new work place, define objective, and standardize protocols to achieve the objectives, collect data, observe, tabulate, analyze and make conclusions. They also learn to search, compile relevant literature from reference books, manuals, journals and the internet. This also gives them an opportunity for self-analysis and to explore the avenues in their desired career. It gives them an insight into the exciting field of research and to take up research as a career.
x Student seminars and group presentations on current topics are organized. Student Seminars encourages participatory learning
x Need based workshops and seminars are organized by individual departments
x Experts are invited to deliver guest lectures. This provides an opportunity for students and faculty to interact with them
x Blended learning helps in usage of modern technology wherever needed and retaining conventional methods where desired

2.8 Examination/ Evaluation Reforms initiated by the Institution (for example: Open Book Examination, Bar Coding, Double Valuation, Photocopy, Online Multiple Choice Questions)
x University of Mumbai introduced the credit based semester system of examination for all the undergraduate classes, and PG program
x Our Institution conducted workshops at departmental level for staff and students so as to make the transition smooth. Students along with the parents were invited for the workshop to educate them of the new process. The continuous evaluation system was explained to the students.
x For the computerization of results new software which is customized has been developed. A unique code number has been allotted to every student so that his/her performance can be tracked in terms of credit accumulated and in case of failures the students can know which papers/components they have to appear in additional examination. The mark sheets have student photograph and are bar coded to ensure security.
x The first and second year examinations are conducted by the college on behalf of the affiliating University.
x The final year examinations and the postgraduate examinations are conducted by the University.
x In the formative assessment, the student has an internal assessment component of 25 marks which has a written test, assignment. Marks are also awarded for active participation in the class including co-curricular activities. In addition class tests, oral testing, quiz, presentations , open book examination, online multiple choice question examination for short term course are conducted by individual departments and the performance of the students are discussed to help them improve.
x The scores of the internal assessment is part of the results of the summative examination.
x The summative test of 75 marks is conducted at the end of the semester. The internal assessment also provides an opportunity for the teacher to identify the level of the learner and to take remedial measures. The summative evaluation tells the teacher of the capacity of the study to learn, retain and reproduce it in the examination in an effective manner.
x For a nominal fee, students are first given an opportunity to see the photocopy of their answer script and then go for re-evaluation if they deem it necessary.
x Evaluators are encouraged to show part-marking and corrections with comments so that a student going for Paper-Seeing will benefit by it. This practice also helps the Re-examiner to understand the rationale behind the marking done by the first examiner.

Annexure III
Best Practice I
Title of the Practice: Value Based Education
1. Goal: The objectives of starting the Value Based Education Program are as listed
below:
i. Development of proper attitudes, ethics and values like love, respect,
cooperation, tolerance, large heartedness etc. amongst students.
ii. Guide students on self-development and self- management.
iii. Empower students to take proper decisions and make appropriate choices in
challenging situations.
iv. Promote appropriate social conditioning and contribute in nation building.
2. The Context: Value education is rooted in Indian philosophy and culture and
ingrained in every tradition of Indian culture. In the current scenario of declining
value system, educational institutes can play important role in re-instilling the
common values amongst students to orient the progress and endorse the moral
awareness for welfare of mankind. Therefore, the need for a consciously planned
value education program is obvious to establish formal learning.
Furthermore, one of the five core values of NAAC is „inculcating value systems
among students‟.
3. The Practice: With the above mentioned objectives a value based education program
was envisaged and the title of the program was decided as-
“SELF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN THE CONTEXT OF SPIRITUALITY – A
PRACTICAL APPROACH” The program comprises of ten modules that are listed below-
a. Values
b. Ethics
c. Excellence
d. Choices We Make
e. Stress Management
f. Self Management
g. Time Management
h. Need for Meditation
i. Art of Meditation
j. Natural Path
A two step approach was followed for conducting this program.
i. Faculty Development Program: Forty faculty members from senior college
voluntarily stepped forward to undergo a ten module training program. The
training sessions were conducted by invited speakers who are renowned and
highly talented in their own field of expertise.
ii. Students Development Program: The 40 trained teachers worked on the
above modules and took the program to around 1000 students of third year and
post graduate classes. Each module is of 1.5 hour duration and it begins with
heartfulness relaxation technique and ends with meditation. The modules are
taught with lots of visuals, animations and involve lot of interactive activities.
4. Evidence of Success:
i. Students liked these sessions and have given positive feedback about the entire
program. They understood the importance of discussion on topics that were
covered in the program. Many of the students have learnt meditation and they
are practicing it. These students reported lack or reduction in anxiety and
stress levels. Many conveyed that their tolerance/patience has increased. ii. Parents reported change in attitude of the students.
iii. External examiners specifically noted calm and composed approach of
students during practical exams.
iv. Definite improvement in overall behavior of students is observed. v. Teachers who conducted the program reported substantial self development in
themselves too. From the academic year [2016-17] the Self Development Program [SDP] is being conducted
for entire strength of college.
Best Practice II
Title of the Practice: Earn and Learn Scheme
1. Goal: The objectives of running this scheme in college are as below-
i. To provide some means of earning money to students who are from
monetarily underprivileged section of the society.
ii. To instill in students, the value of dignity of labor. 2. The Context: Large number of the students studying in this institute are from
financially needy background. Many of the students have to work part-time to
support their education. But most jobs require the time commitment of 6 to 8
hours per day and they are very demanding. The “Earn and Learn” scheme is a trade mark practice of our parent institute-
Rayat Shikshan Sanstha and was initiated by our founder, Padmabhushan
Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil in 1919.
3. The Practice: This scheme is in tune with the mission statement of college and
with the mandate of our parent institute.
The college has a committee called “Earn and Learn Committee” that looks after
the entire working of this scheme. Needy students enroll for the scheme at the
beginning of the year. The students are then categorized based on their skill sets
and liking. The allocation of the workplace is done by the committee and
disbursement of remuneration is done by the college. The popular positions under
this scheme are- Library floor attendants, support staff for electronic attendance
system, clerical office staff, compost pit management. Some students specially
from science stream also assist in research work.
4. Evidence of Success: i. This initiative has proven to be a life changing support for many deserving
students for whom education was impossible without this scheme. ii. Students have learnt the dignity of labor. They take pride in working for
college rather than as compulsion forced on them. iii. It has inculcated the values like humility, tolerance and dedication.
iv. We see personality development in these students with improved skills of
communication, confidence etc.
