ANNEXURE IV

Best Practice I:

Improving teaching and learning systems.

The teaching and learning process focus on enhancement of academic functions and

standardise the best practices. This starts with designing a lecture plan and giving them to the

students in advance. The principles on the basis of which this best practice was decided was –

to raise the curiosity of a student in a particular topic, to encourage the students to ask queries,

to increase the interaction in the class and to improve the performance of students in internal

and external assessments. Holistic learning is encouraged through the continuous evaluation

system like group discussion, preparation of assignment, slip test, seminars. Co-curricular

activities are organised to give an opportunity for the students to put their knowledge into

application. As a part of the regular teaching activities, students are encouraged to render a

seminar on a topic previously taught by the reached. This practice has improved the self-

confidence and public speaking skills of the students.

The learners share their views and ideas during group discussions. This liberty to share their

views is very unique so that the learner put in the learning process rather than just a spectator

of the same. Every faculty member is motivated to perform his/her best in teaching and

learning process.

Certain practices and initiatives taken up by the various committees of the college, help to

promote the goals and values of the college. Consolidated statements of attendance and

internal examinations of the learners are sent to the respective parents at the end of every

internal examinations and the parents are asked to report to the principal for the further

discussion to improve the quality of the students and corrective measures if required are


43

initiated. The performance report at the end of every internal examination is sent to the

parents. Every faculty member maintains course files for the theory and laboratory subjects

handled during a particular semester and also lab manuals, observation book, record note

books and list of experiments conducted. Learners also undertake case studies and survey

mode of studies which improves their analytical and communicative skills

Best Practice –II

Promotion of research

The institution facilitates the faculty to upgrade the qualification to register for Ph.D under

part time research in the reputed Universities. The institute conducts meetings and motivates

the faculty for doing minor and major research projects through funding agencies. The

institutional IRC under the chairmanship of the principal actively involves in the promotion of

research culture among the staff and students by setting targets for the achievement of action

plan which has been reviewed at the end of the year.

The staffs are supported for research promotion through providing on duty leaves for

presenting their research papers at conferences. The management encourages research by

providing financial assistance who make research publications in journals with high impact

factor or Scopus indexed journals on Teacher’s day every year. The News Letter were

published quarterly and circulated to all the pharmacy institutions of the country, which

updates the professionals on various new drugs and upgraded technology in the health care

system.
