Self-Study Report, 2016-17

PREFACEI am indeed very much confident to present the Self-Study Report of Yashwantrao

Mohite College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Pune to the National Assessment and

Accreditation Council. Thought it is a maiden attempt to get accredited by NAAC as an

independent college, we have gone through the process of NAAC accreditation of Bharati

Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune as one of the constituent units for all the three cycles

of accreditation. I am proud to mention that the University has been awarded with the

highest ‘A’ grade in first Two accreditation cycles and has received ‘A+’ for the third

cycle.

I am very much grateful to the founder of Bharati Vidyapeeth and Chancellor,

Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune Hon’ble Dr. Patangrao Kadam for his

constant encouragement for quality enhancement. I express my sense of gratitude towards

the visionary leadership provided by our beloved Vice Chancellor Hon’ble Prof. Dr.

Shivajirao Kadam and dynamic support from our young leader and Secretary, Bharati

Vidyapeeth, Pune Hon’ble Dr. Vishwajit Kadam. Without the support and encouragement

of these, the quality enhancement would not have been possible.

Since establishment, the college strives for creating quality benchmarks in

curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Hence, it is possible to go for

NAAC accreditation independently. The honours received by the college since inception

have infused added confidence to prepare the SSR for independent accreditation of the

College by NAAC. The SSR covers the teaching-learning, research and community

engagement activities of the College. The enhancement in teaching-learning environment,

improvements to infrastructure, research contribution, stakeholder relationship, governance,

quality enhancement and sustenance efforts together with their impact are documented in

the SSR.

I submit the SSR for peer review and look forward to valuable suggestions that help

in realizing the ultimate vision of the university i.e. 'to be a world class university for social

transformation through dynamic education'. I take this opportunity to record my sincere

thanks to all the staff, both academic and administrative of the College for their support and

help in preparing this comprehensive report.

Sr Course Title1 Spoken English2 Identification and Conservation of Medicinal Plants3 Gardening and Landscape Designing

These Certificate Courses have been developed by considering the expectations,feedback, guidelines, requirements for employability or entrepreneurship as well as by considering valuable comments of various stake holders.

Spoken English:

Need Assessment:1. Students admitted in the College are from rural area, other states of India and

foreign countries, those who are from vernacular background are found to beweak in English communication. In addition, good communication skills in English are prerequisite now for employment. To bridge the gap between the students and the employability, Spoken English course was identified and



submitted to UGC. The UGC sanctioned this course and since last two years efforts are made to bridge this gap.

2. Designing, Duration, Development & Planning: The duration of the course is one year. Communication skills are assessed in the beginning & modules are offered to them in basic grammar, basic verbal & written communication, extempore activities & mock-interviews are also conducted to assess their progress.

Career Oriented Course in Identification and Conservation of Medicinal Plants:

Need Assessment:India is with enormous biodiversity and there are pockets in Western Maharashtra called “Devrai”. At such spots there is good collection of variety of plant species, used in traditional medicines. It is essential that this wealth and knowledge be passed to the future generations. Keeping this objective in mind the Department of Botany has designed the course which is approved by UGC.

Designing, Duration, Development & Planning: The duration of the course is one academic year. The Topics included in the syllabus are: information about the medicinal plants, their use and applications and various plants products which have medicinal and commercial values. The field visits are arranged to get the hands on experience of the medicinal plants. The seeds of the plants are collected and these plants are cultivated in the Green House of the college.Thus, the identification and preservation of the medicinal plants helps in creating the awareness regarding the conservation of natural wealth.

Career Oriented Course in Botany: Garden and Landscape Designing

Need Assessment: It is the course of one academic year. Ours is the tropical country with varied climatic conditions in different parts of the country. We also have a great diversity in generaand species. This wealth can be made use of in beautification & decoration of the campuses, which certainly enhances the image of our college.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on the process.

Yes. The college assesses the needs of students in terms of knowledge and skills informally immediately after the admission. The expected skills and knowledge in the respective subjects is assessed during the personal interview at the time of admission



and in the beginning of the classes. The admission committee analyses the result of the student in the qualifying examination and accordingly, special attention is given to the identified needs of these students. The scholar as well as weak students are identified and are treated according to their requirements. The academically strong students are challenged with more difficult tasks and the weak students are given more academic attention through remedial/bridge courses to enhance their knowledge base and skills.

2.2.3 What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the programme of their choice?

After identifying the academically weak students in English, Accountancy, Mathematics and Statistics, remedial teaching is given to them for these subjects. Special sessions are conducted for the students who are admitted from other faculties. These sessions help them to bridge the knowledge gap. The students from vernacular medium, those who continue their education after a gap and international student are found weak in English. To improve their language skills emphasis is given on teaching English grammar. Soft skill development courses are included in the curriculum to train the students for better employment opportunities. The outcome of remedial teaching is reflected in better understanding of these subjects.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender, inclusion, environment etc.?

The college always tries to maintain conducive atmosphere on the campus by inculcating the culture of respecting the dignity and integrity of every human being.

Through these events, the staff and students are sensitized for gender equality, environment awareness and social inclusion. Thus, this helps to empower students to lead independent social life in future.

2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational/learning needs of advanced learners?

The subject teachers identify advanced learners on the basis of the percentage obtained by the students at the qualifying examination, questions raised during lectures, discussions and through the continuous assessments. The strategies developed by the college for challenging the advanced learners are as follows.



The teachers encourage advanced learners and challenge them with more difficult tasks to satisfy their scholastic ability.

Advanced learners are kept engaged by providing recent happenings in the respective fields.

The postgraduate students are kept engaged in projects and assignments. By offering the challenging topics for the projects beyond the scope of curriculum, designing case-studies. These students are asked to prepare and present papers and posters in workshops and conferences. The outcome of which is that 10 papers were presented by the students in various knowledge events.

Advanced learners are motivated and supported to participate in inter-collegiate academic competitions.

The Library gives open access to advanced learners for N-LIST journals, DELNET and other online journals.

These students are also encouraged to appear for NET/SET examinations, enrol for research degrees and get involved in research activities.

2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. who may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not provided)?

The college collects the data on social category of the students, economically backward class students from the admission form immediately after the admission process. The administrative head prepares this data separately. This data is forwarded and discussed in the IQAC meetings. The IQAC directs the concern teachers to pay special attention to the concerned students. Slow learners are identified through class attendance, academic response in the class, performance in internal assessment and university examination. Tutor-ward system helps to monitor the academic performance of the students who are at the risk of drop-out. Special training programmes like coaching in entry-in-service, remedial teaching, course in spoken English have improved their academic performance. State and central government scholarships are made available to the students from disadvantaged section of the society and economically weaker section. The college also provides financial assistance to needy students. These steps have improved the confidence and performance of students. The teaching and non-teaching staff supports the physically challenged students with every possible help. Hence, they perform exceptionally well both academically and otherwise.

The outcome of these efforts is visible in the improved confidence and academic performance. Most of them have completed their education in the stipulated time framework which is evident from the result analysis. The dropout rate in the college is marginal even less than 4%.



2.3 Teaching-Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and

evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print etc.)

Academic Calendar In order to implement effective teaching learning process, the college prepares academic calendar which is a tentative programme schedule of whole academic year. At the end of every academic year, planning for next academic year is prepared in the IQAC meeting. The calendar includes the details such as commencement and conclusion of each semester, admission dates, tentative schedule of internal and university examinations, commencement of classes, schedule of co-curricular and extracurricular activities etc. The academic calendar is discussed in detail in the first staff meeting and accordingly the responsibilities are distributed among the staff. The academic calendar is notified to the staff and students on the notice board, on the college website and is printed in the prospectus-cum-handbook. Accordingly, the curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities are carried out throughout the year.

Teaching Planning One of the best practices in teaching-learning process is teaching planning which is followed meticulously in the college. At the beginning of year, each department allots the teaching workload to every faculty member. After that, the faculty members are asked to prepare the teaching plan for the semester by considering the academic plan of the college. The head of the department forwards this plan to the Principal and the Principal approves the teaching plan. The teaching faculty follows the plan and it is monitored by the concerned head of the department, IQAC and the Principal. At the end of every semester, the teaching faculty has to submit teaching completion report to the Principal. To create e-learning environment the class teacher publishes month-wise teaching plan on website through ICT. The preparation and monitored implementation of teaching plan helps to improve the attendance of the students as well as delivery of knowledge.

Evaluation Blue Print The college follows the university prescribed rules and regulations related to examination and evaluation of the students. The college evaluates the students both in internal/continuous assessment and university examination. The proper weightage is given to both the evaluation. The internal/continuous evaluation includes home assignments, class tests, presentations, orals, long term papers, report writing etc. The internal evaluation is rigorously done throughout the semester. The university examination is conducted at the end of each semester. The students are made aware of these evaluation processes in the beginning of the academic year. Even the syllabus is unitised and the weightage for each unit is clearly mentioned in it. The question paper pattern is also provided to the students. The 80:20 (80% for university and 20% for internal evaluation) pattern for the semester system UG courses and 60:40 (60% for university and 40% for internal evaluation) pattern for the CBCS PG courses is followed.

The preparation of academic calendar, teaching plans and evaluation blue print enable us to improve the overall performance of the students and deliver accountability of the faculty.



2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching-learning process? Internal Quality Assurance Cell plays vital role in planning and monitoring of all the curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Every year, IQAC issues guidelines about distribution of workload to each of the department. Academic calendar prepared by IQAC helps to plan the teaching activity. IQAC has created a benchmark for curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular activities. It monitors teaching throughout the year. It plans the feedback from all the stakeholders. The analysis of the feedback is done by IQAC and necessary steps are taken for improvement, if required. The faculty members are motivated to use advanced teaching techniques, recent advances in the respective subjects and asked to organize expert lectures, seminars and conferences etc. The faculty members are encouraged to participate in knowledge events in and outside the country. IQAC contributes in initiation of new courses. Further, the cell contributes in improvement of the curriculum to bring it at par with the international standards and suggestions are made for improvement in evaluation system. The IQAC of the college plays a key role in starting the Choice Based Credit System, frame work for all programmes and pattern for continuous evaluation system as well as implementation of Lecture Capture System and ERP. It also helps to construct an organised methodology of documentation and internal communication. IQAC participates in decision-making to improve institutional functioning as well as quality improvement. It also ensures that library maintains multiple copies of textbooks, question papers of previous examinations and study material. Book bank facility is given to the needy students. The Cell arranges national and international workshops, seminars and conferences to expose the students to the challenging scenario of the subject. IQAC carries out academic audit in three stages.

It is monitored by the concerned head and in case of any discrepancy, it is reported to principal. The necessary instructions are given to the concerned teacher. To evaluate the quality of teaching, a separate mechanism is developed by the college. The assessment is done on the basis of timely submission, presentation skills, contents covered, handwriting



etc. For remedial teaching, staff members prescribe lists for reading and reference work. The students are asked to complete home assignments. While assessing the assignments, the comments for improvement are also given to the students. In this regard, the college collects feedback from students, alumni and other stakeholders. The feedback on teaching is analyzed separately by IQAC and the report is given to the Principal. The Principal takes necessary actions, if required. The student result in university examination is also an important parameter to judge the quality of the teaching. Hence, after the result of university examinations, the result is analyzed by IQAC and reported to the Principal. The teacher is asked to give written justification if the result is below the required benchmark.

In addition, the ICT infrastructure like LCD projectors, television, OHP, laptops, internet connectivity etc. are made available in the classrooms also. The faculty members are motivated to use social media like face book, twitter, blogs, You Tube etc. for communicating with and answering the queries of the students.

7.3.2.5. Evidence of SuccessThere is a positive impact of use of ICT facility on teaching-learning process. The internet facility has created awareness of new happenings in the field of interests. This has resulted in making the students to plan their study throughout the year, raise the queries as and when required and get the immediate and individual response, update their knowledge and finish their projects on time. This infrastructural facility has impacted on the research output of the faculty. During the second cycle of NAAC, the faculty had published 69 research papers and it increased to 178 during last five years. The success ratio of the students, after using this ICT environment, has been increased considerably.

7.3.2.6. Problems Encountered and Resources RequiredThe ICT learning environment needs uninterrupted electric power supply, high speed internet connectivity, high capacity instruments like computers, laptops etc. for smooth functioning of teaching learning environment.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strengths Being the constituent unit of BVDU, department have flexibility to prepare the curricula

of physics. Department is recognised research centre of the university. Research space is made

available with UV photo spectrometer, ultrasonic spray system for research scholars and teachers.



The non-teaching faculty members of the department are very co-operative in all respect. Non-teaching staff ready to do the modifications required in the laboratory equipment, maintaining the laboratory equipment in good working condition.

The laboratories are well equipped and well maintained. Homemade circuit’s board are used for the practical.

Department has committed faculty always interacting with students to set up a friendly academic environment.

Weakness Lack of students mind set towards Physics subject Un- availability of full fledge staff Opportunity There is ample scope for extending research projects for teachers as well as students. There is room for collaborative work with foreign Institutes. Teaching and learning methods can be improved further with more and more availability

of e-learning resources. Challenges Many students study introductory physics at F.Y.B.Sc., only about few end up with

physics degrees Major challenge is to attract students by projecting opportunities in basic science, and by

stressing that basic science serves as base for many applied courses. To enhance the strength of physical science group Future plans Focus on thrust area of Materials Science and solar Thin Film Technologies to produce

Device Grade Materials To enhance the research and development activities Achieving at least 3 research papers per faculty member in reputed journals having more

than 3 impact factor To improve soft skills student through interactive lectures Re-activation of Alumni Association.

Shabda-Shilpa 35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans: Strength: Being regional language preferred by Maharashtrian students. Marathi

literature is explored by the students through books, poems, autobiographies etc. Sant and Lok Sahitya is an integral part of Marathi literature which helps the society to create good and responsible citizens of India. Rich cultural inputs through study of literature.

Weakness: Since the college accommodates students from all over India and abroad, they are not keen to study Marathi language.

Separate space for students. Literary activities. Opportunity: To start Marathi language learning centre to give Marathi global

recognition. To start Marathi Sanshodhan Patrika. Challenges: Introduction of many foreign languages is posing a big threat to regional

languages .Hence more efforts have to be put in to reach to the cosmopolitan culture. Future Plan: To start T.Y B.A with specialization in Marathi To offer Marathi subject for all PG courses as a course of extra credit. To arrange international conference on Marathi Folk literature To start certificate course on translation of literature. To create a platform of Indian Languages like Aantnar Bharati To Start a new Course for the students –other than Maharashtra –Marathi for

communicative purpose. To start certificate course in proof reading and editing.
