The motto of T. John Institute of Management and Science is to educate, encourage and empower the students of today so that they are able to take up the challenges of the world. The institute molds them accordingly and inculcates human values in them to make them succeed in today‘s competitive world. The college has adopted the curriculum designed by Bangalore University in order to develop competency, obtain employment and promote research aptitude in the students.

The college meticulously develops a n action plan for effective implementation of the curriculum. At the outset the advisory committee of the college conducts meetings with the staff members to develop various strategies for effective implementation of the curriculum. The initial step for the effective implementation of the curriculum is to prepare the time-table for every semester. This depicts the duration of the classes and the name of the faculty member who engages them. The division of workload is as per UGC and AICTE norms. Accordingly, a micro-schedule is prepared that runs through the curriculum. The faculty members are clearly instructed to impart education on the basis of a curriculum. It is done through innovative teaching methods such as assignments, role plays, presentations, group discussions, workshops, seminars, industry visits, in addition to regular/traditional teaching methods. Thereafter, the staff members conduct internal discussions and develop session plans for the semester. The curriculum is divided into modules keeping in view the number of working days available, which are to be completed by the last working day of the semester. Each department of the college follows the academic calendar issued by the Bangalore University. The college thereafter plans its academic schedule which clearly mentions the topics to be taught and the number of working days allocated to respective topics. Extra classes and remedial classes are held for the weak students and slow learners. This too is incorporated into the academic schedule. 1. Assignment based learning 2. Professional and skill based learning 3. ICT based learning 4. Research b a s e d l e ar n i n g 5. Industry need based learning

key speakers were Mr. Ajay Krishnan, an IIM Indore alumnus

with a wide experience in Business Analytics with industry

majors. The KPO industry is growing at a phenomenal rate

(more than 25% annually) in India which is more than

double the rate at which traditional IT businesses are

growing (11-12%). This is a clear indication of the times to

come when industry will need trained Analytics and Data

Mining professionals. The next five years in IT will see the

kind of demand in analytics that IT companies used to have

from engineering campuses about 5 years back. But trained

resources in analytics are hard to come by which is why

most companies have to allocate enormous budgets on

training their talent pool.

TIMS NAAC Report

130

methods using Wi-Fi broadband internet, LCD projectors, collar microphone, amplifiers and

laptop computers are increasingly employed in the classrooms to keep pace with the information

explosion around the world and stay in sync with the times. The college provides opportunity to

the teachers to attend orientation and refresher courses to make improvements in teaching. The

faculty members encourage students to acquire knowledge from divergent sources. Thus

interactive learning takes place through field work, study tours, group discussions, quizzes,

workshops, and academic seminars. GDs, debates and seminars are conducted by all the

departments. The extension lectures by academic scholars are offered to the students. The

academic progress of the students is assessed through class tests. The tutorial system helps the

students to overcome learning difficulties.

Research & Development The Research Committee of the college encourages and motivates teachers to take up research

projects and fosters a culture of research among the students and the staff. The committee is also

involved in synchronising and facilitating research activities carried out by the members of the

faculty by providing relevant information and updates to the faculty members on the availability

of funds and their sources. The publication of research findings and presentation of research

papers are undertaken by the faculty members.

Community Engagement We encourage our students to work for the betterment of the community and also to work

towards making a better society. This is generally a student lead activity undertaken with the help

of a staff coordinator. The programmes like field visits, organising road safety awareness camps

and blood donation camps are a few of the activities of the college.

For example - The CSR Cell of TIMS organized a one day workshop for the students of Prem Sagar

Seva Sadan at Karnataka Institute of Theology, Bangalore. The Vth semester BBM students were

taken for the Programme so that they could receive orientation regarding social development

through education, training and career guidance. The participants for this one day skill

enhancement Programme were pre-university students from the families which are below

poverty line and they are supported and funded by Prem Sagar Seva Sadan for their education.

These students are selected from underprivileged families and slums. They were looking forward

to sharpen their skills in order to enable them to pursue higher education or job.

Industry Interaction The college believes it is a must for the students to interact with the industry on a regular basis

so as to get awareness on how the industry functions or to understand the need of the present

industry so that they can be well equipped for the market. The ‘Career Guidance and Placement

Cell’ conducts seminars and workshops in which different industries interact with the students

and thus the students get a feel of the demands of the outside job market and the skills they have

to develop. Industries also conduct job recruitment drives in the campus and also organize career

CRITERIA VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness.

7.1.1 Does the institute conduct Green Audit of its campus and facilities?

The environmental audits are tools that T. John Institute of Management and Science uses to

identify or define their full range of environmental impacts and assess their operational

compliance with applicable laws and regulations in tune with the expectations of their various

stakeholders. These audits serve as a means to identify opportunities to save money, enhance

work quality, improve employee health and safety as well as improve the efficiency of the

processes and the materials.

T. John Institute of Management and Science comprehend the connections and the balance

between the different requirements as a change is critically important if we are to discover a way

forward. Green Audit started as an environmental fire-alarm owing to a developing appreciation

of the holistic nature of the interactions which are beneath the surface changes in the

environment.

The college has fixed certain parameters on which they are planning to check their preparedness

towards the green audit in the spheres of water and air pollution as well as waste management

and they are:

Existence and adequacy of environmental policies / laws /strategies.

Adequacy of data for evaluating impact of pollution on the environment.

Identification of risks caused by pollution to health and environment.

Assignment of responsibility amongst the various stakeholders involved in pollution

control.

Adequacy of monitoring the environmental laws and further evaluating them.

Adequacy of infrastructure and funding.

TIMS NAAC Report

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

Energy conservation: Solar power plant with a capacity of 100 KW has been installed in the college

campus. Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity. This is

done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells,

which have become popular in urban areas. The panels are fixed in the college terrace.

Use of renewable energy: Energy that is freely available in nature and never runs out is called

‘Renewable Energy’ which includes Biomass, Wind, Hydro-power, Geothermal and Solar sources.

Renewable energy can be converted into electricity. Of the few sources of energy mentioned

above the one extensively used on the campus is the solar energy from solar panels and also the

energy from a renewable source like wood for some hostel consumption and incineration (to

handle bio medical or hazardous wastes) purposes.

Water harvesting: Water harvesting is done using rainwater for a sustainable,

participatory and equitable model of management for water. It is in practice at T. John

Institute of management and Science. The rain water harvesting units are present in T.

John College campus. The collected water is used for the garden maintenance activities.

Efforts towards carbon neutrality: All across the world, colleges and universities are

looking to a sustainable future by working to become carbon neutral. They are taking

responsibility for their environmental impact and are working to neutralize those effects.

There is a need to reduce their emission of greenhouse gases, cut their use of energy, use

more renewable energy and emphasize the importance of sustainable energy sources to

become carbon neutral. The college has been designed in a fashion so that there is cross

ventilation in all its class rooms which would prevent the unnecessary use of electricity

and that would in turn reduce the carbon footprints. Thus, the rooms in the college are

well lit as well as ventilated.

Plantation: The college campus is continuously expanding due to the increasing demand

on the departmental infrastructure for which the campus is stripped of its vegetation

cover. However, in accompaniment to the developmental growth trees are being

replanted on the campus to maintain its green cover. 46 palm trees have been planted on

the campus in the last academic year.

Hazardous waste management: Hazardous waste poses substantial or potential threats

to the public health or the environment. For the disposal of such kind of waste special

gloves and masks are provided to the housekeeping staff. Pits or regular landfills are used

at the end of the campus to dispose the waste. The hazardous waste may be "destroyed"

for example by incinerating it at a high temperature.

E-waste management- E-waste disposal is done in co-ordination with Parisaraa

Foundation. E-Parisaraa Pvt. Ltd. which is India's first government authorized electronic

waste recycler started its operations from September, 2005 and is engaged in handling,

recycling and reusing the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in an eco-

friendly manner. The initiative is to aim at reducing the accumulation of used and

discarded electronic and electrical equipments which mostly end up in the landfills or are

partly recycled in unhygienic conditions by backyard recyclers and then partly thrown into

waste streams damaging the environment. The objective of E-Parisaraa is to create an

opportunity to transfer waste into socially and industrially beneficial raw materials like

valuable metals, plastics and glass using simple, cost efficient, home grown,

environmental friendly technologies suitable to Indian conditions.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details about innovations introduced during the last 4 years which have created

a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

1. Rockefeller Habits is practiced in the college in tune with the RH habits practiced at the

corporate wherein every activity has an attached quantitative goal associated with it.

The advantages of this are the long term targets of the institution which are fixed at the

beginning and are split into yearly and quarterly targets that are actively pursued by the

departmental teams. The goals which are set almost cover all major target areas of the

institution– including results, admissions, extra-curricular activities and placement. In addition

to this there are supplementary goals which include other functional areas like mentoring,

industrial visits, guest lectures etc. The goals set for a quarter are reviewed on a monthly basis

and any midterm course correction is mandatorily done. This helps to achieve the targets in a

strategic manner. The goals achieved are audited twice in a year.

The students’ results and attendance trend maintained as a part of RH helps to track the

continuous performance of the students throughout the semester and any detentions are

decided on this cumulative performance.

2. Cash awards have been instituted for the top positions in the university exams– the top five

ranks and the toppers in thee college motivate students to perform in the university exams.

3. The club activities have been made a part of the time schedule to fit extracurricular activities

for students which gives them a break from the rigorous schedule- activities like cookery, craft,

music, dramatics, gardening, photography and sports are an integral part of it.

4. The social activities and initiatives taken up by the students are encouraged in the college.

Such activities are extended to the government schools in the locality, orphanages, old age

homes and society at large by means of medical camps in near by villages. The students often

raise the fund for such social services by fund raising activities in the college.

2. Goal: This practice will lead to improvement in the overall results if every teacher is accountable

for their own papers. For this, the main motivation to make faculty members perform in order to

meet the goal is- the monetary incentive is given to ensure accountability of the faculty members

on the basis of results. This measure has been taken in order to incentivize them as a positive move

instead of penalizing them for their poor performance.

3. The Context: The college results need improvement which can only happen if faculty member

handling the paper shares the responsibility of not just syllabus completion but also of the results

as well. The student result is a culmination of faculty members’ and students’ efforts towards a

common goal.

4. The Practice: As soon as the university results are declared the department submits the 100%

result in any given paper with the name of the faculty member handling it to the Principal. A

consolidated sheet at the end of every semester’s result is done and submitted to the management

for the incentives. The chairman of the group personally hands over the same in a common function

to the faculty members.

5. Evidence of Success: It has resulted in significant improvement in the results. The faculty member

has an ownership towards the results of his/her paper. The public announcement of the reward in

a common Programme motivates others to strive for the same. The college results have shown an

upward trend. Every year there is an increase in the number of faculty members receiving the

awards.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Sometimes there is a delay in waiting for a

common platform to distribute the reward which reduces the passion attached to it. If the data of

two semesters is combined reduces the impact of the award as the number of papers for which an

award is received gets blurred. It is easier to get a good result with a small number of students in a

class. However a class of 60 students faces difficulty in achieving the 100% result.

TIMS NAAC Report

175

7. Notes: The number of students writing a paper has to be taken into account and the reward

money proportionately increased or decreased as it may be difficult to achieve 100%result with a

class of 60 as against a class of 10.

7.3.1 B. Rewards to the faculty members for paper publications

1. Title of the practice: Monetary rewards are given to the faculty members for paper publications

in the national and the international journals.

2. Goal: The aim of the practice is to motivate faculty members to take up active research. The

publications also increase the visibility of the organization in the academic world. It helps to improve

the academic profile of the individuals.

3. The Context: Many faculty members have been publishing in the past but the data was not being

shared with the institute. This led to the college constantly striving to improve their research

interest and a significant data in the research area which remained as a personal data could not be

captured by the college as part of its intellectual property. With this award as soon as a publication

takes place it is brought to the notice of the college which helps the college to improve its research

stand.

4. The Practice: Soon after a publication is done the faculty members submit a reprint to the

Principal’s office. This office cross checks the publication history and based on its importance and

impact factor a remuneration is fixed as per the policy of the institution. The fixed remunerations

for college level, state level, national level and international level are present in the policy. If the

award has to be shared among two or more faculty members who are claimants for the same paper

the amount is proportionately shared.

5. Evidence of Success: There has been a sudden surge in the number of publications over the last

few years. The faculty members fell motivated to publish their research work. The student projects

guided by faculty members also get published regularly. The difference in amount for different

levels of publication, are motivating faculty for better publications every time. This is finally

improving the research potential of the college. The effort to publish is being transmitted to the

students as well and worthwhile projects are getting the proper status by faculty members’ effort

in converting it into a work that has some worth in the publishing field.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources required: With an immense variety in the fields under

which research can be conducted it is difficult to assess the order of the journals. Most of them have

TIMS NAAC Report

176

papers published in journals with low impact factor. There is also a difference in the top ranking

journals of every area which creates some ambiguity. The background check is not very smooth with

the current set of faculty members and absence of a dedicated publication office.

7. Notes: The amount fixed for a single publication may need to be shared between co-authors from

the same institute. A research paper with one author and a research paper with multiple authors

may get the same incentive. This will have to be nullified before implementation. The remuneration

fixed for a first author or single author paper has to be significantly higher than the multiple author

papers.

7.3.1. C. Students active involvement in fund raising activities for social services.

1. Title of the Practice: The self-funded social activities of the college.

2. Goal: The students are often enthusiastic towards the various causes of social welfare. However,

funding such activities and meeting the expectations may be difficult for the management alone.

The students want to help society in more than one way. Thus, they decided to self-fund their

programmes by conducting activities on the campus so that they are able to cater to all their

aspirations regarding various social causes. Moreover, when they spend the money that they have

earned they take a step towards becoming more responsible.

3. The Context: It has been noticed that the students of the college are passionate to extend

education to primary schools in the neighborhood. They want to conduct environment friendly

programmes for them, donate lab equipment, school stationary as well as celebrate different

functions with them. They are also passionate about spending time in the old age homes and gifting

different articles of utility to them. There is a requirement of sufficient funds to carry on with these

activities which may be achieved through fund raising activities during the lean period in the

curriculum.

4. The Practice: Before commencement of the semester the students unwind by participating in

fun activities like hobby classes, adventure sports, dance programmes, food fests, selling of art and

craft items, computer gaming, song dedication etc. These events involve a nominal cost and are

open to the staff as well as to the students. After removing the cost price from the final sales the

profit is deposited with the institute– ‘welfare fund for the social cause’. The fund is deposited with

college authorities and as and when there is a requirement of funds for social cause it is utilized

from there after an approval is sought from the management.

TIMS NAAC Report

177

5. Evidence of Success: The students have overwhelmingly participated in the fund raising as it helps

them to unwind after the rigor of a semester as well as help to collect fund for a cause. The

enormous amounts have been collected by such activities and this is providing enough funds for all

the social activities conducted by the students of the college.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: No problems have been encountered while

implementing this except for the cost price which has to be assessed by a team of faculty members

before the amount is donated to the social service fund. The proposals for such activities have to be

passed by the committee with proper budgeting and subsequently approved in order to avoid

ambiguities.

7. Note: The money collected must be monitored by a team of faculty members as well as student

representatives and social activities which are subsequently planned have to be budgeted and

properly executed. A bill for all purchases made towards the activity has to be submitted in hard

copy for accountability.

7.3.1. D. Practice of Rockefeller Habits.

1. Title of the Practice: A strategic planning tool to track the growth of the organization.

2. Goal: Each area of work has a set goal. This is a method of strategic planning to keep a central

control over the goals and create a roadmap to success. It also improves the business stand by taking

certain easy measures.

3. The Context: It has been noted that each individual member in a functional team knows his/her

job but is not aligned towards the bigger goal that he/she may be working for. This aligns all the

college activities to the big identified goal called the BHAG- ‘Big Hairy Audacious Goal’. Each

individual in a team is made accountable for an activity which will be regularly reviewed and course

correction recommended.

4. The Practice: The BHAG is first identified by the college which is then broken into annual and

quarterly goals and a set of activities is identified to achieve the same goals, that is, the ways to

reach the goal is completed by setting the priorities. A face or ownership is given to every goal. The

achievements made in line with the goals are reviewed every month through a monthly review. At

the end of the year an external audit verifies the data generated against all goals and sub-goal

achievements. This creates accountability throughout the organization and aligns the top

TIMS NAAC Report

178

management with the entire team. After reviewing the annual goals the following year goals are

fixed or modified.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: It has been in practice for the first 3 years and

has shown significant improvement in results, placements and admission data of the college. It helps

to keep track of the students’ continuous growth throughout a semester and provides a platform

for the effective comparison of achievable data through its detailed formats. Its only drawback is

that the final annual data has to be shared with the team among which the goal was subdivided so

that they can take pride in achieving the targets as owners of the goals. Good practices towards

achieving a goal should be shared with the team to enable course correction by the others.

7. Note: It is an efficient practice to feel the pulse of the organization and to align all the goals or

targets taken by the team with the bigger objectives of the organization.
