Best Practice 1
1. Title of the Practice – Performance Appraisal of Teachers on e-diary.
2. Objectives of the Practice
Teachers constitute an important segment of the society. They can play a role model to the students. The objective of this practice is to achieve self-accountability of the teacher in discharging their duties to the Institutions, students and society at large.
3. The Context
Some teachers did not care to be available to assist the students outside the classroom.
Teachers were not habitual to undertake extra academic activities.
To make teachers punctual regarding timely attendance in the college and classes.
To make teachers available during college hours for academic as well as other activities.
To encourage newly appointed teachers to follow precedence set by the senior teachers.
To assess, on daily basis, by number of classes actually taken by a teacher in respect of allotted classes.
To verify the completion of syllabus assigned to a particular teacher.
Long process of applying and sanctioning of leave.
In this context, the performance appraisal process on e-diary has been introduced.
4. The Practice
Regular vigilance of the records maintained by the Principal.
To monitor individual academic progress on daily basis.

2. Objectives of the practice:
• To prepare students for their progression in job market and higher education in an
effective and convenient manner.
3. Context:

• An online portal linked to college website that can be accessed by students to prepare
themselves for competitive examinations.

knowledge, mathematics and English, alongwith answers and explanations.
Success:
• Approximately about 45000 questions can be solved without purchasing any personal
book and taking admission for specialised coaching.
• Since mobile friendly, the preparation can be taken anywhere and anytime.
• Students appearing for campus recruitment drive by different companies in the
college have greatly benefitted in the preliminary rounds of written tests.
