computers.

We encourage students to participate in the international exchange programme

with St. Mary’s College of Business and Economics, California, U.S.A.

Our teachers are encouraged to participate in workshops, seminars and research

forum which give them an opportunity to interact with colleagues from other

disciplines, thus adding to their teaching skills and communications.

5. Examination reforms implemented:

The examination schedule is published at the beginning of each term. The

schedule contains details regarding last date for portion completion, dates for

submission of question papers, mark lists, moderation, and declaration of results

and recounting of answer papers.

Additional Preliminary Examination and Periodic Tests are held for Final Year

students.

We have introduced a Centralized System of setting of question papers.

A separate photocopying machine has been installed in the examination room for

maintaining secrecy and timely completion of work. All manuscript question

papers are stored in locked cupboards and sealed before Chairman of Examination

Committee leaves the premises.

All question papers are photocopied in the presence of the H.O.D.

We have Centralized Assessment for B.Com. B.M.S., B.Com. A/F, B.Sc. C.S.,

B.Sc.Biotechnology and B.Sc.I.T. From 8:00 a.m. To 1:00 p.m. Each lecturer has

to assess a minimum of 40 to 50 papers per day. This helps to declare the results

on time as per the schedule. Refreshments are provided to teachers during

evaluation time.

Before assessment, synoptic answers are prepared by the examiners.

25

Page 26: AQAR 2009-10

We arrange for moderation of answer papers to reduce human error in evaluation.

A certain percentage of total answer papers are moderated by an external faculty

from a neighboring college who is a member of the panel of examiners of

Mumbai University.

We announce the scheduled dates for revaluation of answer papers and the subject

teacher shows the paper to the student.

Unfair Means Committee formed in accordance with Mumbai University statute
