St. Paul's CollegeNAAC Re-accredited Institution with 'A' Grade (Affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University)Kalamassery-683 503

s this issue of 'Reflections' reaches its readers, ASt. Paul's College, Kalamassery is basking in the glory of a well deserved achievement –the award of an 'A' grade (with grade point 3.14) by the National Assesment and Accreditation Council, or 'NAAC' as it is better known. For the Pauline family, it is not a mere achievement, it is the fruit of long, hard labour; the realization of their power to dream big and the crystallization of a cherished wish.

St. Paul's College officially put itself up for the process of accreditation with the submission of the Letter of Intention to the UGC office. With the strong support of the Manager, Fr. Felix Chakkalakkal, the able leadership of the Principal Dr. Edwin Xavier, the energetic NAAC

convenor Dr. V. J. Peter and the acumen of the IQAC coordinator Dr. Reena J. Andrews, the teaching and non teaching staff were divided into seven teams. Each team was assigned the stupendous task of collecting, processing and analysing the data required for each of the seven criteria comprising the Self Study Report. As the name suggests, this report showcases the College, and a lot depended on how this turned out. From then on, it was a frenzy of activity. Academics could not be compromised on, the Golden Jubilee celebrations were on full

swing and the preparation of the report requires precision and skill. As usual, the Pauline family was more than up to the task and a soft copy of the SSR was uploaded on the UGC site, followed by three hard copies that were sent by post in May 2015.

It was a sort of anti-climax-for what followed was months of interminable waiting with nothing more than an acknowledgement of receipt from the UGC. Doubt and despair were slowly raising their heads when one fine December morning, it was hastily confirmed - the NAAC

member of the Peer team. From the moment they arrived, it was business for them as they huddled into discussions with the NAAC convenor and the IQAC coordinator and finalized their itinerary.

The NAAC Peer team arrived at the college on the morning thof the 28 to a rousing reception that included the students'

cheers and a salute from the College NCC Team. They wasted no time in starting their job - the meetings and presentations of the Principal and the IQAC were carried out in quick succession. This was followed by a quick look at an exhibition arranged to highlight and showcase the milestones and achievements of the College and its various clubs and cells. Over the three day visit, the peer members displayed sharpness, a power of observation and an attention to detail. They quietly went about their business -

inspecting the facilities, verifying claims, checking records, noting achievements, visit ing offices, departments, research facilities and laboratories and interacting with all the stakeholders - the management, staff, students, parents and alumnae. They also interacted with the patron of the College, Rt. Rev. Dr. Francis Kallarakkal, and the Governing

Council. The peer team was very much impressed by the cultural extravaganza put up by the students and they congratulated the students on their brilliant performance.

Gentlemen to the core, the team were a s tudy in professionalism and efficiency. At the exit meeting on the third day, they remarked that they were impressed by the college's performance and potential, and they were

especially touched by the warmth of the Pauline family.

What followed was a long wait - impressed team or not, the proof of the pudding lay in the grading! And a wonderful pudding it turned out to be in January 2016, it was declared on the UGC website that St. Paul's had come through in flying colours – an 'A' grade with a score of 3.14! The campus was in a celebratory mood - with congratulations pouring in and the Pauline family patting itself on the back!

But as they say, the reward for a job well done is the opportunity to do more. We at St. Paul's have many more mountains to conquer, many more unheard melodies to hear and our quest for excellence continues, in this life lived nobly…
