CRITERION I – CURRICULAR ASPECTS

1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 Institution has the mechanism for well planned curriculum delivery and documentation. Explain in 500 words

The curriculum for all the courses is given by the Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam. The University

calendar is adopted by the institution to plan the implementation of the curriculum.

Each department prepares their own academic calendar with curricular and extracurricular

activities. Apart from regular class sessions, the academic calendar also has internal assessments,

assignments, seminars, and other activities.

Based on the academic calendar every faculty prepares a Course Plan for their respective courses.

Each Course Plan will indicate topics, tests, assignments, presentations, books prescribed and evaluation

marks.

The office prepares weekly time table for class sessions and tests, co-curricular activities such as

Integrated Management Learning Programme (IMLP), Pre-Placement Programme (PPP) and Mentoring

sessions.

At the backside of the attendance sheet, the faculty has to maintain a record of the topics covered

which will be compared with the Course Plan for compliance. The record also shows test papers returned

with feedback as well as the assignments. The Principal periodically verify the record for compliance.

Teaching and Learning

The teaching learning process begins with the preparation of the academic calendar and course plan

for each subject. Learning is made student-centric by many activities such as extra readings,

independent learning, collaborative learning, interactive learning and use of audio-visual aids. To

nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper various methods such as field visits, lab

tests, assignments, presentations, project works, and so on.

Periodic Publication of Internal Marks in Notice Board:

Student performance for each of the internal components is individually entered and is periodically

summed up. These are published in the notice board periodically.

Mid-term and Model Examinations: These are designed to simulate University-level semester-end

examinations.

Linking Internal Assessment Components to Learning Objectives: Since the entire course is divided

into separate modules/topics, the internal assessment method of any module/topic corresponds to the

learning objectives attributable to the module.

7.2 Best Practices

Describe at least two institutional best practices

Upload details of two best practices successfully implemented by the

institution as per NAAC format in your institution website, provide the link

Best Practice 1:

1. Title of the Practice: Parivarthana – Be the change you want to see

2. Goal: ‘Parivarthana’ is a social responsibility initiative of SCMS which aims at creating a wave of

awareness among school students in Ernakulam district about social issues that concern them directly through

entertaining yet thought-provoking performance by MBA students as influencers.

3. The Context: The biggest challenge is in coming up with a script for the program which has to be riveting

and entertaining to the school-going community (that too cutting across all social, economic and regional

backgrounds) and yet successful in delivering key content. Other challenges include training the teams, liaising

with various school managements and managing the expenses.

4. The Practice: A theme is chosen as part of Parivarthana each year. The entire batch of students from

MBA are divided into various groups of 10 members each and then sent to schools in the district to propagate

the chosen ‘social message’ in the prescribed format. The students present the 1 hour program and collect

written feedback from the school community on the quality of the experience learnings.

5. Evidence of Success: The program which was initiated in 2011 has already covered 45000 students across

120 plus schools. There has been an increase in the number of schools year on year from 83 in 2011 to 100 plus

in 2013.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

Financial: The students were transported to the various schools in tempos hired by the college. Teams which

had back-to-back sessions in schools were also provided with lunch kits and refreshments, the costs of which

had to be borne by the college.

Human: The Human resource being the backbone of the program, students and faculty needed to be spared on

the earmarked dates. This involved lots of manpower planning and scheduling at the institutions end.

Material: Coming up with a script for the program which has to be riveting and entertaining to the school-

going community (that too cutting across all social, economic and regional backgrounds) and yet successful in

delivering key content was a challenge.

Best Practice 2:

1. Title of the Practice: New Method of Student Seminar Assessment 2. Goal: To improve the quality of the seminar pattern followed by the students.

3. The Context: The pattern followed by the students earlier is non competitive and just for the sake of

completing their turn and for many of the students it was not at all an effective presentation. In this context the

institute decided to innovate the standard of seminar presentations.

4. The Practice: Seminar presentations on topics assigned from the scientific literature or on subjects related

to a current research project are an integral part of the course curriculum. The efforts made by the institute

were quite clearly reciprocated by the students by greater willingness to actively participate in their own

learning process.

I.A clearly written abstract of the seminar will be submitted by the student three days before the seminar to

the seminar coordinator and the it will be displayed on the departmental notice board for the reference all

students and faculty members

II.An innovation found particularly useful by the faculty was the feedback evaluation of the seminar

presentation.

III.Besides the name of the speaker, topic, the faculty have included the following criteria for the evaluation

purpose.

a) Selection of topic

b) Literature review

c) Presentation skill

d) Objectives of the talk

e) Novelty of methodology

f) Effectiveness of discussion

IV.For each of the above mentioned criterion, three grade points were given as – poor/average/fair.

V.The student who scores an overall three ‘poor’ grade will be asked to retake the seminar on another date

after better preparation.

VI.If the student score less than 3 ‘poor’ and ‘fair’ and ‘average’ for most of the criterion, the student is

considered as “pass”.

VII.It further gives a student an opportunity to communicate and respond to an audience.

5. Evidence of Success: Students begin to show better performance during the seminar sessions. All of them

were able to get the “pass” score during seminars. Communication skill of the students increased. Moreover

awareness on the need for presenting scientific data confidently is developed among students.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

There are no problems encountered for achieving this objective. The seminar coordinator takes the charge of

printing and distributing evaluation form during seminar sessions. The forms were collected after seminars and

further assessment were made during faculty meeting for determining the score of the student.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness

As part of the two year MBA program a new approach to the course plan is made by including analysis of news

paper, business dailies into the curriculum. Business knowledge is an exceptional blend of practical business

world and class room. The composition of the subject is in such a way that it gel very well with the regular

subjects. The class is divided into different sectors like , marketing, automobile, telecom agriculture, IT, finance,

Economy etc. and the news in the business dallies are discussed sector wise. Students make presentation on the

news reports they read in these dailees. Various activities such as quiz, open discussion on the current affairs,

new word explanation, stock market analysis, budget analysis and sector presentations are also included in these

sessions. Another component of Business knowledge has a study of international markets in the context of the

boundaryless world. Through these exercises, students are able to get a comprehensive understanding of the

business developments in India and in other parts of the world. An area of distinctiveness in terms of vision and

priority is the imporatnace given to the phenomenon of aging. The Board of management of the institution is

composed of experts from various sectors of the economy. This institution is the only one to have a biennial

conference on aging with a large number of participants and experts from around the world.

20. The overall quality of teaching-learning process in your institute is very good.

Homework everyday."

nothing much to say

Include more practicals than theory !!

More practicals ie lab sessions.Lab sessions are very important to improve practical

skill.

Encourage more extracurricular activities.

Excluding faculties & teaching , the institute environment must change and commit to a

student friendly environment.That is when both the environment and the entities can co-

op.

"Bring in extra-curricular activities,

Understand the interests of students and make students a better person rather than

turning them into a corporate person"

"Teachers concentrate mainly on the placement and fails to recognize that the

education is beyond books. Students still find it difficult to choose a stream they like

because they are encouraged for choosing highly paid sector in the field.

Institute should mandatory the check on metal health of the students, other than the

academic life students go through a lot of pressure outside the college life and they tend

to give up soon.

Overall the im lucky to study in this institution. It was a very tough and bumpy ride but it

made me prepare to face the challenges and hurdles of life"

TEACHERS NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH STUDENTS AND BE A FRIEND WITH

AND THAT MUCH FREEDOM TO COME AND SHARE THE PROBLEMS WITH

TEACHER

Daily homework/class tests should be conducted.

overall good

"very good

IMPROVE CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES WHICH WILL INTURN IMPROVE THE

INTREST OF STUDENTS!

"Teaching learning process could be much more efficient if the students are given more

projects and practical works.

They must be given more industrial exposures through more and more workshops.

Regular home works and periodic tests should be conducted.

"bring extra curricular activities

college should be made more lively

apart from studying, try to make it more like study+fun"

overall good

Good

very good teaching

"make students to do mini projects in every semester.

rather than giving more theory sessions , give lab hours and ensure that students is

utilizing it.

try to bring out collage fest in every year."

As we are in the final stage of our study almost every time we are made to attend the

aptitude questions which is a good thing but instead of introducing them in the last

semesters it would be best if aptitude and other basic things are taught from the

begining itself by making a common hour by avoiding mentoring session or including

aptitude into mentoring sessions

v.good

syllabus and course should be more cohesive and structured

"very good teaching skills

The ability to develop relationships with their students

Motivators"

by reducing the portions for exams,By giving more assignments

All the teachers are very friendly , interactive and supportive

extracurricular activities

It is a good learning experience.

"1) teachers (not all)should prepare more before taking the classes

2) increase more interaction between the students

3)" Understand strength and weakness of each student.

Nthg more...all are good

Teachers should try to stop de-motivating by constantly emphasizing the negatives of

students. No one is perfect. Students may not be as knowledgeable as teachers. But

teachers have to understand that and let them grow. Rather blaming them that they

know nothing will only lead to demotivating and loose confidence

"answering of previous years question papers. "

Increase experiential learning, Providing digital library access of online journals, Try to

provide video lectures

more interactive classes, complete the syllabus in time, programs like management

fests can be included.

more interactive classes, can cover the syllabus in time

Nothing more to add on but I recommend to conduct more cultural events.

AMLP and mentoring sections are really helpful . More industrial interactions should be

included. Programs like management fest can be included.

"Please include industrial visit, which gives more exposure.

AMLP and mentoring sessions are really helpful in developing ourselves.

More industrial interactions need to be included. AMLP sections are very helpful.

Management fest need to be included.

"Add more extra curricular activities

Add more library hours"

Can provide more practical knowledge and also sholud provide certain new add on

courses.

Faculties always conduct interactive sessions and case studies which make the subject

more interesting to study and it also helps to understand the portions more clearly.

"More video presentations"

I believe our institute is one of the best, as its vision indicate it provide quality education.

And the marks are true to best of my knowledge (as an MBA senior-2nd yr )

Use of more examples

1.Programs are made to strongly develop skills of the students

"1. Asking students for suggestions will definitely help.

2. The learning atmosphere should be maintained, for eg. the curtains, projectors, desks

should be well maintained.

3. Reduce the workload."

"Classes should have good audio system

AC in the classroom are not working properly most of the time though it is on.

Should identify the strengths of all and help them to improve it."

Can use more experiential learning.

"Can be more interactive.

Much more activity oriented than lectures. "

Can give lecture notes other than presentations

use activities to teach

Teachers always give examples regarding the subjects. As teachers keep interactive

sessions, group discussions and case studies, it helps to understand the concept more

clearly.

Including good activities to enrich knowledge , giving more job oriented training,

encouraging self development by providing internships

AMLP is good and effective for us , Industrial visit

More experiential learning to be implemented

Understand what is lacking in the students so that they can improve everyday

more interactive classes and conducting management fests can be included and also

completion of syllabus

practical sessions, industrial visits

provide more extra curricular activities , engage more in sports instead of making us

couch potatoes

"Some teachers should be more friendly and liberal

As we have a tight schedule its because of university declaring exam dates we need to

get more in outside classroom training etc.."

"Good teaching,

Good infrastructure,

Good student development programs"

"Industrial visits

Interaction with Industrial people

To include certification courses"

1) Instead of classroom learning provide more opportunities in practical learnings

"1. Can offer the students more of practical experiences rather than sticking onto theory

2. Can include more of videos in the presentations

3. Can incorporate more activities during class"

more student centric, more activities, skill based

Try to understand students mindset, Encourage students to Come out more.

"1.Semester timings could be more

2.Discuss question papers

3.Books should be given more importance than PPT’s"

"provide equal opportunities for all students for internships and live projects.as of now

students who are already done their internships are again selected and providing with

the opportunities.

include some extra-cariculer activities."

Make better interactive with students

Good

good

good place for learning and growing

I think the college is great and has helped me gain confidence.

Giving more written notes can enhance further learning

"Timing "

"1. More importance can be given to industrial learning rather than book learning

2.BK hours can be much more productive."

Try to understand the student needs and make them motivated to do the works

assigned to them.

Class timings can be adjusted

"1)Though the teaching-learning experience is excellent,promoting more outdoor

activities will be beneficial for students.

2) Another suggestion is that weak students can be given more attention based on

respective subjects.

3)Though the institute conducts Mock interview,group discussion and aptitude training

in 2nd year I feel it can be started from 1st year onwards so that it will be more useful

for the students."

More friendly environment.

"Give at least an hour per week for co curricular activities.

Promote sports. Construct an own ground."

"1) Can include more activities

2) make more student centric activities

3) give more liberty in carrying out activities independently"

Include more examples

More video related lectures and outside faculties for teaching might improve.

"Encourage extra carricular activities

Identify the strength and weakness of each student individualy."

"Need of industrial visits

Industrial interactions needed"

Much more of practical learning like industrial visit

"Can have more Industry interactions which will be vey useful for the students.

More opportunities for Internship programmes can be given to students which will be

very useful for them.

Apart from normal mock interview sessions mock interviews which concentrates on

current affairs can be given which will be very useful for students during their

placements."

More of practical examples can be included in lectures

More practical activities should be promoted

I felt the teaching is good. They can continue in the same manner

"1. Need to teach all the topics in the syllabus

2. Provide practical learning along with theories"

Promote more industry visits, Reduce the time schedule from 8 to 4:45 pm

Nothing

"1). Faculty keeps changing often

2).Text books should be provided

3).Timing of IMLP and similar activities could be reduced and instead used for covering

more syllabus."

Encourage to read more from library and newspapers

No comments. Excellent institution

"1.answer previous years question papers.

2.shorten the time of each period.

3.giving exercises frequently based on the syllabus apart from the assignments."

Teach according to syllabus & can should provide enough notes to students atleast for

the university exams

"1. Eventhough opinions are sought from students, they are not put into practice in most

cases.

2. Ensuring that the faculty is taking the class in a manner that is relevant to the

syllabus would be helpful.

3. More engagement in events that are conducted outside the college would be

benefitial."

"# The institution should make arrangements in identifying the organisations for

internships and projects.

# Have to give a little more interest in sports and other extra curricular activities.

# Make more opportunities to the students to inculcate their skills in their interested or

passionate region."

"Good teaching,

Good learning facilities, good mentoring"

more extra curricular activities can be included, industry visits, additional skill

acquirement programmes

"There is not much to give just minor suggestions such as

1. More practical learning exercises

2. Integrated notes for each subject."

Nthg

It is effective to conduct GD in the class after completing one module

"Good teaching and learning experience

Please explain students with previous years question paper so that they can easily

handle university exam ."

More internship opportunities has to be provided

No suggestions

"Could provide detailed notes for the subjects.

Frequent cultural programs can be conducted"

Overall it's really good..can see why it's one of the leading B-schools in South India.

Use more interesting ways for teaching

"Povide one day industrial vist nearby companies "

Industrial exposure can be included to get more exposure and experimental learning

can also be included.

Field visit opportunities can be included to get more industrial exposure and case

studies can be included to have better understanding of the concepts.

"1. The syllabus can be extended to include more current topics, in addition to the small

changes in the university syllabus.

2. The faculty evaluation can be made anonymous to ensure it is more genuine

3. More case studies can be used in the teaching process."

Try and change the lecture timings, try to make the kids interact more, Try too

understand the knowledge level of students before starting any topic.

add more digital technologies, online based assignment and assessments, all teaching

materail to be available online after each session (like foreign university websites)

Good

Provide some gaps between class test and midterm

"Very good learning experience "

Good

"Impart practicability in curriculum

lead a long way and transform the education system and the society for good"

introduce more extra curriculum activities.

"For what???? Students has no role in the college except paying fees......

>>> Please stop stupid rules such as cutting attendence for wearing jeans in saturdays ,

cutting attendence for not doing clean shave daily ......."

"extra curricular activities need to be promoted equally with studies .

"

No special suggestions.

Development of ICT tools,

Communication love and affection

Love towards students,teaching style can be improved,communication with students

Can make sessions interactive,can use multi language, student teacher communication

"1) Practical hands on sessions can be included

2) Sufficient gaps in between classes could be provided

3) Entertainment based learning approach can be included."

nothing to describe.

"Everyone should use PPT

More interactive sessions to be included"

Rules and regulations are too rigid,some kind of relaxation is definitely

required.Projectors in our classrooms are not yet fixed.

overall good

"1.Classes should be more interactive

2.Practical knowledge should be enhanced

3.Importance should be given to personality development"

"Improve campus life

Reduse strict

Grow up"

The teachers shall use the LCD monitors to convey more information on the topic taught

in class

I believe, if you are moderate on evaluationing the answer sheets on internal exams, it

will encourage students to prepare for university. Since time is short during working

days, and students will get enough time for university exams.. I am satisfied with all

other facilities..

Could teach us with more of ict tools

Good

"1. Make class more interactive to engage students and cultivate interest.

2. Teach as much as possible using real life examples in order for students to learn and

remember what is taught in class easier.

3. Try to keep textbook learning as small as possible since it is one of the main reasons

why students lose interest in a subject. Textbooks are often dry and come across as

uninteresting which usually eliminates any interest a student might have previously had

for a subject or topic."

Worst college ever with badly qualified teachers. Never give a chance to be happy in

the college. Strictness is Hell

"Need to conduct written test regularly. ( suggestion)

Proper follow up must be made with students about their studies . ( suggestion)."

More interaction can be improved with students.

"1.More interaction with students"

"1.) More two way communication

2.) Providing study materials

3.) More practical examples"

"1.give more priority to practical activities than assignment

2.make class more lively

3. Combine practical knowledge with theories"

"1. More notes .. study materials

2. Out door activities

3. Interaction between students and faculty"

"1- Students are treated as machines for paying fees .

2- stop stupid rules (cleanshave daily , wearing jeans )

3- A college without any dignity ."

"1 Study materials should be provided

2Class hours can be reduced to an extent

3 should focus more on practical case study"

Should focus on more pratical case study, there should be two way communication

between the faculty and students

Doing case studies more interaction

more interactions with each and every students, Materials should be provided ,Class

room should be more lively

Satisfied with teaching

The learning experience at SCMS School of Technology & Management is very

effective to us! Teachers here are best of their versions in teaching which helps us to

take initiatives and also helps in management of time with punch of learning techniques

all time. Overall I would like to say this place is best to grab an MBA and other courses

at high standard level which will mould you in a complete future manager! Thank You! :)

"provide practical sections"

More practical sessions should be included, Sufficient break in between sessions, More

interaction with students.

"Make sure that the students follow the teachers and their classes

clear all the doubts and move to the next topic

use examples and projector to make the learning more interesting"

"there must more interaction between students

more freedom to students"

We need activities or programmes with education. College does'nt give us the

opportunity to perform any programmes.
