7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution (please see the format in the NAAC Self-

study Manuals)

Mar Ephraem Manna

Tutorial Learning

Best Practice 1

1. Title of the Practice: Mar Ephraem Manna

2. Objective of the Practice :

To imbibe the spirit of helping among students.

Intended outcome:

Create morally responsible citizens for the welfare of the society

3. The Context

These days rampant corruption is deep rooted in the whole system because of the selfish

attitude of people. To encounter this & to create a community which extends it‘s helping hands

to the fellow beings who are in need, this practice is started. This is a student initiative

programme with Aji Tom of final year Civil Engineering as president and Sibin Mariam

Stanley final year CSE As secretary and Prince Chacko final year EEE as treasurer. Though it

is a student initiative programme it is monitored effectively by the Principal & is coordinated

by the staff in charge. This is a small but effective practice to imbibe thoughts in young minds

what the student community can do for the upliftment of the fellow students who are facing

financial difficulty to meet their needs of getting an education. Besides giving financial

assistance this programme encourages those students to come up in life by providing other

physical aids too.

4. The Practice

At the juncture when faculty members are approached by needy students for some kind of

help such as for books, fee etc. , we decided to implement this practice . This was addressed to

the students and with a positive feedback & initiation from the students this practice had been

started. Financial contribution by the students are collected and deposited in the bank in the

joint account of the Principal & the President and the secretary of the committee .This fund is

dispersed after reviewing the needs of those students who are in need such as the treatment of

students with serious ailments, fees remittance, need of books etc. The very active conscious

participation of the students from all the Schools made this practice a successful one.

5. Evidence of Success

It is seen over last few years that the practice as above has provided satisfaction to all stake

holders of all the Schools. As a result the number of activities through this charity program is

increased along with the increase of fund.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources

Since this is a voluntary practice, issues of any problem has not been traced out so far

Best Practice 2

1. Title of the Practice : Peer Learning

2. Objective of the Practice:

Make students to perform better in the academics through timely tutorials.

Intended outcome:

Peer Learning & Effective team work

3. The Context

To compete with an ever changing globalized world our students need an education that

meets their individual needs and opportunities that connect them to what is happening around the

globe. Therefore, it is the whole responsibility of the college to set an appropriate learning

environment which is more exciting, challenging as well as rewarding. New generation students

inhabit a borderless world offering boundless link, data and mobility. They need education

delivered in ways that are compatible and support their world view. In view of these special

circumstances, our college charts this practice of tutorial learning.

In a busy academic schedule, to avoid the mental stress of the students and to keep them focused on

the achievement of better marks during their internal as well as external examinations.

4. The Practice:

Students who are categorized as slow learners and average learners are to be exposed to

fine use of technology in the conventional classroom, to thrive in this competitive world. Aiming

this, after taking the class on a particular topic the student of the whole class will be given a set of

questions and answers in advance to seek the solution without any compulsion. After evaluating the

solution, the students of the whole class is divided into various groups each consisting of 4– 5

members. Each group consists of students from slow learners‘ category, average category & above

average category. The student who is identified as good in the topic of each group is asked to teach

the other members of the group. Here the teacher becomes a facilitator & the student becomes the

master, and thus the methodology of peer learning is instituted successfully, for improving the

problem solving, analytical & presentation skills of the students.
