| CRITERION I – CURRICULAR ASPECTS |
| 1.1 – Curriculum Planning and Implementation |
| 1.1.1 – Institution has the mechanism for well planned curriculum delivery and documentation.
Explain in 500 words |
| College has no direct role in curriculum planning because there is no scope, but tries to convey suggestions regarding restructuring of curricula through teachers who are members of Board of Studies, for respective subjects in the University of Calcutta. The College maintains adequate documents regarding the syllabi of different subjects in the library for reference by both students and teachers. All revisions of syllabus are implemented as soon as they are introduced by the university. The teaching of the curriculum is well-planned; the lectures to be delivered are planned much ahead of their scheduled delivery. The content of the syllabus is adequately covered in the lectures provided and the reference materials provided by the teachers. Often the class lectures advance beyond the immediate scope of the syllabus to enrich the conceptualization of the subject- matter by the students. The entire syllabus is subdivided into smaller parts to complete in each academic year and specific portions are allotted to specialized teachers. Thus the syllabus is completed in each small portion in each part of the three-year course (1+1+1). The student mentoring system hovers around the following methods of evaluation:
(a) Formative and summative assessments
(b) Tutorial classwork
(c) Home assignments, projects
(d) Ability of students to interpret a concept/theory/ and ability of cognition of an already existing notion.
(e) Students’ understanding of using updated methodology of critical analysis of a text (Humanities/Literature)
(f) Ability of students to undertake in-depth study of the Course syllabus as well as research- oriented study in the respective disciplines using various available resources.
As mentioned initially, the course syllabus in each subject is prescribed by the University and the college documents the same in the form of printed copies. These printed copies are preserved in the College Library and readily available for perusal by both teachers and students alike as and when needed. This ready availability fosters consistency: consistency within curriculum structure, standards, and expectations; and increases collaboration between the teachers in a department as they see their colleagues as resources and allies in the process of assessing the efficiency of delivery of the curriculum, completion of syllabus, setting of proper question papers for evaluation and above all, guiding the students towards improved outcomes.
Students too are benefited immensely as they continue to consult the organised course curriculum available in print to self-assess their progress in learning and their preparedness for College and University examinations.

The department wise responses are then statistically analysed and findings are listed. The views and suggestions are also taken into cognizance alongside the statistical findings. Based on the findings, the College takes all feasible steps to make teaching learning, infrastructure and campus life more conducive to quality enhancement in a holistic manner. The College extends the academic facilities and opportunities to the students by introducing courses much in demand. The teachers who are members of Boards of Studies regularly attend workshops organised by the University of Calcutta for design and development of curriculum in different subjects and communicate the stake holders’ views to the University. Classroom teaching is supplemented by extramural activities like visits to relevant sites and excursions, relevant to curricula are undertaken to broaden the perspective of students and enrich their subject of study.
Teachers’ Feedback forms are filled in at the end of the session to assess their views and suggestions on existing and future academic and infrastructural advancements in the college. Teachers also provide their opinions regarding various strategies adopted to facilitate effective learning and the scope for added assignments and supplementary classes.

| 2.3.2 – Students mentoring system available in the institution? Give details. (maximum 500 words) |
| Gokhale Memorial Girls’ College is one of the pioneering educational institutions of Kolkata. The mentormentee ratio of the institution is 38:936. Hence the teacher student ratio stands at 1:25. The College offers 13 Honours Programs conferring B.A. and B.Sc. Degrees in Honours and 3 Major (Vocational) Programs conferring B.A. and B.Sc. Degrees in Major. In addition, Sanskrit is offered as a General (Elective) subject. Each department maintains a strict mentoring process for students within the prescribed academic framework. The faculty guides the students to help them bring out their best in the course outcomes. Students are mentored not only in their respective Honours courses but also in the Elective (General) subjects chosen by them under the relevant Course Programme. The chief teaching method employed is the lecture method using the traditional black board. This is supplemented with powerpoint presentations and other audiovisual teachinglearning aids as and when required. As a part of holistic learning, students are encouraged to read material in addition to the texts and references provided in the syllabus which can deepen their understanding of the subject.
After the completion of the University syllabus, students are given class assignments which are then checked by the faculty and revision classes arranged as required. Departments then arrange supplementary as well as remedial classes for the weaker students to catch up with the mainstream. Along with the class lectures and explanations, class notes are provided to the students to help them retain the class discussions in their minds. Peer tutoring, Group discussions, tutorial classes, student paper presentations on syllabusrelated topics and special lectures are held as well. Students’ attendance records are maintained on a regular basis to ensure their presence in the class lectures. Midterm examinations, Selection tests and Mock tests are conducted in all departments and outcomes are evaluated by the teachers. Results provide feedback about the performance of each and every student.
Apart from the teaching of the contents of the syllabus, the teachers often mentor the students in their personal problems as well as lend their valuable mentorship in different extracurricular activities conducted in the college.
Students are encouraged to look beyond the narrow boundaries of their syllabi at relevant contemporary issues. This transfers into thoughtful and intuitive contributions to the college magazine, “Miscellany”. |

| 2.5.2 – Reforms initiated on Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE) system at the institutional level (250 words) |
| A continuous internal evaluation system (CIE) in other words, formative evaluation is followed at the institutional level. For this, various measures are taken for eg, Midterm tests are conducted to evaluate students’ progress up to a certain stage. This type of measure is very useful to rectify any drawback/ deficit/ difficulty if any among the students. Likewise measures such as remedial classes, tutorial classes, tutorial tests, mock tests, peer tutoring, revision classes, doubt clearing sessions, home assignments etc. are undertaken well before the students appear for their final examinations. Hence, Continuous Internal Evaluation in the form of summative assessments is appropriately done before the final University examinations, thus enhancing the ultimate performance of the students at the institutional level. |
|
| 2.5.3 – Academic calendar prepared and adhered for conduct of Examination and other related matters (250 words) |

| 7.3 – Institutional Distinctiveness |
| 7.3.1 – Provide the details of the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priority and thrust in not more than 500 words |
| The vision and mission of the institution is to uphold both academic excellence and personal growth by
promoting quality in teaching learning
maintaining a balance between education that promotes knowledge per se.
and training that imparts skills for employability
broadening the base of women’s education in keeping with the framework of a pluralistic society.
Meetings are held periodically for discussing the issues and challenges of institutional developmental. The institute encourages teachers, students, parents, employers, alumni, staff and class representatives to share their ideas, opinions, suggestions through proper channels i.e through Parent Teacher meet, Alumni meet, Teachers Council meetings, student feedback system, and through other various committee meetings. The inputs received from various stakeholders of the institute are reviewed and those which are in line with the Institute’s Vision and Mission Statements are considered for appropriate action.
The faculty personally meets with the student to resolve problems. The student whose attendance/performance is poor is identified and made aware. Her guardians are also informed through parent teacher meetings and telephonic conversations. All relevant documents such as undertakings, declarations and leave applications, feed back forms and record of parent teacher meetings etc. are meticulously maintained by the departments and furnished when required by the concerned committees.
Students are encouraged to undertake active roles as coordinators of cocurricular and extracurricular activities.
The Social Outreach activities conducted by the NSS Unit 1 of the College with the cooperation of the student members of the Social Awareness Club and the teacher members of the Social Outreach Committee with dedication, diligence and conviction show the commitment of the institution towards inculcation of egalitarian, secular and non parochial values among students in addition to the core values of honesty , discipline, courage, compassion, self respect as well as respect for others, holistic learning and promotion of all round development of the students.
The College Code of Conduct reflects the values it seeks to uphold. It sets the standards of conduct expected of students and is instrumental in creating open minds which are capable of great tolerance and fellow feeling. The insignificant number of student grievances coming up for redressals is ample evidence that campus life is peaceful and congenial for the development of values of equality, secularism and mutual cooperation among students.
The strengths of the institution are manifest in its :
Locational advantage
Continued academic excellence as evident from the result outcomes.
Increased student strength despite continued space crunch.
Increase in number of teaching staff.
Creation of new and maintenance of existing basic infrastructure despite financial constraints.
Continued adherence to strict standards of discipline both academic and otherwise in the face of increasing pressures from the social milieu to lower the same. |
