ANNUAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT (AQAR)-2016-17

Don Bosco College is a NAAC accredited Self-financing Arts & Science college run by the Don

Bosco Fathers with its Provincial head quarters at Bangalore. The Local Governing body consists

of 4 Salesian fathers here at Sulthan Bathery. The college has now a total strength of 590 students

on the rolls. There are 39 members on the teaching staff and 8 on the non-teaching staff. The

Management, Staff, Parents and Students of the College make up the College family.

The College caters to youth from all parts of Kerala, especially from the District of Wayanad. The

Youth of the locality are given preference as it is one of the main reasons why the college is here.

Being a rural college it has its advantages and disadvantages. However, we believe that the

presence of the college here is meaningful as it offers opportunity for higher studies to hundreds

of rural Youth.

History

The Don Bosco College had a humble start in June. 2005 with the commencement of the B.com,

BSc, and Travel and Tourism. In the year 2012, BBA, B.A English and M.Com were added.

Later in 2014 and 2015, BSW,B.Com Finance and M.Sc. and MSW were approved. Thus we have

7 UG courses and 3 P.G Courses total 10 courses within ten years.

Sent off

Fr. Thomas N.M who was the administrator of this college is transferred to Don Bosco Kochin

after having served the institution for 4 years. During his tenure as the Administrator, the college

had a steady growth. During the academic year, three faculty members : Mrs Nimmi, & Mr.

Praveen of Commerce department and Mr. Anto Jose of Social Work department. and Mr.

Aadarsh of Computer Science department left the college for better career options. We are

grateful to them for all that they have been to the college.

Certificates and Awards

Union activities enable the students to develop their various potentials and also provide a forum to

voice their opinion. The College insists on the functioning of the Union without the infiltration of

party politics. This year, as a trial the Union elections were held in the Presidential mode instead

of the Parliamentary mode. The Union elections were held on 20th October at which the Union

leaders were elected. Detailed report of the Union activities will be presented by the Union

Secretary.

annual Literary Fest ‘Virtuso’ and it was well represented by the participants from the neighboring

colleges.

February. Though the arrangements were made and preparations were done, the participation of

the students in these events were discouraging.

intercollegiate football tournament conducted at Meenangady. The F-Zone inter-collegiate arts

completions are yet to be conducted.

7.Social Outreach programs:

[Type text]

Reaching out to the Community is one of the important component of the college. The College is

open to share its various resources to the needs of the Community.

The various classes have reached out to the community giving their service especially to the old

age and destitute homes. The students and staff sacrificed their Christmas gifts and contributed a

sum of Rs. 15000/- for the medical expenses of Amal a plus two student living close to the

college. The college also collaborate with the local bodies for awareness programs on nature

preservation, anti-drugs campaign and road-safety awareness programs.

NSS activities are coordinated well.

The College Staff

We are proud to have a committed and excellent set of personnel on the staff. They form part of

the educative community. Their sense of attachment, loyalty and eagerness to give their best to the

student community is indeed remarkable.

The staff members had the annual evaluation and planning on May 27th. As part of the FDP

program they were given training cum workshop on Research Methodology on Aug.27th. . The

staff attended a second FDP program on 17th September organized by the College Commission of

Parent Teacher Association

In all the meetings nearly 98%. the parents participate. The executive meeting is called twice

during the year. Issues pertinent to the college and students are discussed and sorted out. We

appreciate the decision of the PTA to allot funds for the purchase of 13 fans required for all the

class rooms of the 2nd floor of the main building.

College Hostel

The number of students staying in the college hostel is increasing year by year. This year we have

24 students in the hostels. More facilities are being set up to induct more students who can stay in

the college hostel and pursue their studies

Conclusion:

[Type text]

The sole purpose of the running of this college is to mould individuals who are committed

professionals with social responsibility imbued with strong social and human values. This requires

team effort from the educative community: parents, students, staff and management and the

support of the local community.

We are grateful to God for having blessed us with all these. We only hope to do our best in

responding to his blessings.

ANNUAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE 2016-17

It is with great joy that I share with you the annual report for the Department of Computer

Science of the year 2015-2016. This has been an enriching and knowledgeable academic year both

for the faculty and students of the department of Computer Science. I am happy to note that

through careful planning and a strong commitment by the faculty and students, we have been able

to conduct many talks, seminar, fests and creative programs for the department. Moreover, the

department has grown with the addition of M Sc Computer Science with an intake of twelve seats.

The department strives for excellence in creating, applying, and imparting knowledge in computer

science.

Curriculum Delivery

The university provides curriculum for the course. The HoD divides the subject to different

teachers as per the workload. The teachers prepare lesson plans and course plans for the particular

subject which will be shown to the principal. The teachers will make use of the LCD projector to

take class for PG and Final B Sc Students. To create the students more effective and to know the

recent technology different elective courses were provided. The department of Computer Science

conducted a hardware work shop for the students to know the inner components of the computer.

We also conducted a live network workshop for the PG students for the effective understanding of

networking subject. To be a good programmer special training were given to the students. For that

Annual Strategic plan 2015-16(Calendar)

We have planned different programs, seminars and workshops in the beginning of the academic

year. Specific dates were given in the annual calendar. Most of the programs were conducted in

the specific dates. But some seminars could not conduct on the specific dates because of non

availability of the trainer and Resource person.

CARRIER ORIENTED PROGRAM (C O P)

[Type text]

Department of Computer science conducted a COP on CCNA(Cisco Certified Network Associate)

Program. The classes were conducted by Cybernet Academy, Sulthan Bathery. 28 students of our

department is attending in the COP Course. It is quiet useful to the students to know a particular

subject other than curriculum. They will be attending the CCNA exam and if they pass they will

be CCNA certified trainer.

PEER help to weak students.

Some of the students are weak in studies. To make them effective in studies special coaching were

given to those students. Vacation classes will be conducted for those students poor in

programming.

Strategies to bridge the knowledge gap of enrolled students:

We arranged evening classes for the weak students for the subjects which they found struggling.

Divide the students in to small groups in which each group will contain 1 or 2 bright students and

academically poor students so that they can join every day and can clear their doubts.

Challenges encountered in the completion of syllabi and methods to overcome:

The gradual changing in the lab practical list at the ending of the semester will cause difficulty to

complete the lab experiments.

The shortage of theory hours in the even semester is also a difficulty to cover the syllabus.

There are no efficient computers and software’s to handle the lab activities.

Methods to overcome:

We are planning to take class up to 4pm, but even then we cannot complete the syllabus, so are

planning to take the special classes.

Frequent maintenance of computers and proper installation of software as well as high speed

internet is needed.
