7.3 Best Practices of the Institution
Title: Internal Assessment made mandatory across the Streams at U.G and P.G
Level
Objective of the practice
The objective of Internal Assessment is to continuously assess the learning and
evaluation is as curtained. The underlying principle is continuous learning and
evaluation to motivate the learner throughout the semester. There is one
internal assessment at U.G level for all papers.
The Context
With the semester system in place, internal assessment has been introduced
along with it. The structured format across the streams has been introduced
both at U.G and P.G level to bring in uniformity in pattern of evaluation.
Multiple choice based questions are introduced in internal assessment to
balance the essay type questions asked in external question.
Practice
Most of the competitive exams evaluate the students through objective type
questions. The Internal Assessment helps the students to prepare themselves in
micro learning the given topics. It also helps the students to pay attention to
details about the given topic. It also helps in continuous learning and
assessment.
Evidence & Success
More involvement in learning activities by way of classroom interaction,
participation in discussions is noted. This in turn is reflected in the overall
performance.
Problems encountered and resources required
One of the challenges to conduct the internal assessment simultaneously was
lack of required resources in terms of invigilators and classrooms. In the initial
stages lots of challenges were faced. Later on, resolved to conduct on lines of
External assessment with seating arrangement and a fixed schedule allotment.

Title: Departments are given the freedom to upgrade the syllabus as required
.
1. Objective of the Practice
To include the topics which cater to the learner‟s needs
To trim the components this is obsolete and redundant.
To add components keeping in mind the needs of the market
2. The Context
Nizam College has 33 departments offering courses both at UG and PG level.
The faculties are experienced and are members of board for syllabus
designing, BOS, Material Production team at college and university level. To
utilize the expertise available the faculty is encouraged to upgrade and design
the syllabus as per the requirement of learners and also the market.
3. The Practice
The college encourages the departments to upgrade their syllabus as required.
The departments modify, upgrade the syllabus and get it approved by the
BOS. Almost all the departments keep upgrading their syllabus based on their
needs.
4. Evidence of success
Due to constant up gradation and modification of syllabus, it is up to date and
in sync with the market requirements. This has helped students to stay ahead
and foray into different institutions of higher learning. Many of our students
got admission in various universities across India and abroad at P.G, M.Phil
and Ph.D, Level.
5. Problems encountered and resources required
The problems encountered while upgrading the syllabus are
To have a unanimous decision as to why certain parts of syllabi are
removed.
To have clarity about parts of syllabi being redundant.
For resolving these issues instead of removing the entire part from the syllabus
a part of it is retained.
