INSTITUTIONAL BEST PRACTICES

Best Practice 1                                   E –Journal Publication “Research Era”     Objective: To nurture research aptitude, scientific thinking and writing skills amongst students. Context: With the advent of research-based pedagogical techniques and as a part of essential curriculum aspects, students are actively involved in research activities. However the majority of work is driven solely to fulfill the requirements for the degree. Therefore inception of the research journal “Research Era” was done with an idea to provide uniform platform for students to document their research work. This helps to expand the horizons of students beyond the curriculum. Practice: All of the departments are informed about the activity by the Principal and the research cell. Students are informed through their teachers about the publication of a Research journal by the college. Research papers written by the students are invited in a proper template format from all departments. Respective teachers guide students in the preparation of manuscripts in a proper format. Manuscripts received are peer reviewed and recommended for publication. The journal is published in the academic year and released by the Principal in the presence of staff members. This is an in-house publication. Soft copy of the journal is provided to respective teacher guides and students. Evidence of Success: The number of students participating in this activity is increasing. Students are eager to learn about patterns and rules for publication. Problems Encountered: Students are ready to work on the project but documentation of the project activity in the form of research paper is not considered seriously. Need to improve the writing and presentation skills of the students. Resources Required: 1) Workshop or seminar, as well as guidance lectures, need to be arranged for students on how to write a research paper.                                      2) Requirement of funds for research activity for students.                                      3) Subscription of reputed research journals.                                                                                                        Research Era 2020-21                                                                                                                      Research Era 2021-22                                                                                          Researh Era 2022-23

Best Practice 2                                    SKill Development Programmes (SDP) 1. Basic Instrumentation and Laboratory Techniques (BILT) 2. Basic Computer and Software Skills (BCSS) Objective: To train the Students towards computer skills as well as basic instrumentation and laboratory techniques. Context: With the advent of advancement in technology and as a part of essential curriculum aspect, students have to learn computer as a compulsory subject in first year graduation level course. The students from science stream must know the laboratory techniques and basic knowledge of the subject. Therefore the Innovation cell of the college decided to train the students through these two need based add on certificate courses under Student Development Program. Practice: Every year the Innovation cell organizes SDPs (training course) of two weeks duration for students in which interaction of 30 contact hours is compulsory. After the completion of course PET (Program End Test) is conducted. Certificates are distributed to successful candidates. Evidence of Success: All the students are eager to learn basic laboratory techniques and computer skills. Every year the number of participants is increasing.      View Report BILT 2022-23    View Report BCSS 2022-23 For previous year report of BILTS and BCSS:-Click
