1. Quality enhancement initiatives in the academic domain:
Quality
enhancement initiatives in the academic domain started with simple steps such
as, restructuring Daily Routine and Insistence on 75% of class attendance, in
2013. In order to enhance teaching quality and to conform to the UGC norm duration
of a class (45 minutes) was changed to one hour with effect from July, 2013. At
the same time in order to enhance learning outcomes the college insisted on a
benchmark of 75% class attendance for students to be eligible to sit in the
End-Semester Exams.
In pursuance of point no.6 of the
Peer Team’s Recommendations, in the year 2014 the college Library was
refurbished and equipped with Xerox machine and computer sets. Then shortly
afterwards the college bought Library software. The Library is now secured with
CCTV and registered at the N-List Programme at INFLIBNET.
In the year, 2016 the college
introduced a system to obtain feedback from students. The forms duly filled in
by the students are analyzed.
A new Academic Calendar of the
college was prepared In 2017 which has
in it schedules of important students’ activities like, Fresher’s Social,
Election to the Students’ Union body and College Week are now included. This
has a great result of avoiding unnecessary waste of time.
A Mentorship Committee was formed in
January, 2018. Selected teachers are appointed as mentors. Each mentor is
assigned ten (10) mentee-students. This is a new experience for the college.
Log Book system has been introduced
in January, 2018. Log Book is prepared to best serve the purpose of monitoring
classroom activity.
With the Language Lab in place
Spoken English and Spoken Hindi classes were held during December, 2017 – June,
2018. Thirty-three (33) students were enrolled in the Hindi classes and
Fifty-nine (59) students in the English classes.
2. Quality enhancement initiatives in the Administrative domain:
The governance of Government Kolasib College has
always been participative right from its inception, and much more so after
accreditation, because quality sustenance and enhancement call for collective
efforts. All college operations are managed by committees and cells constituted
with specific functions assigned to them. At present there are twenty-six
committees and subcommittees including seven clubs. Each of these committees
makes decisions in line with its terms of reference. The various committees
work zealously to comprehend and adapt to changing academic environment.
College interest as a whole is discussed in the
Teaching Staff Meeting which is held frequently. In this meeting the works of
and difficulties encountered by each committee/cell are discussed and solutions
to the difficulties are suggested.
