The college has embraced OBE as a core principle, aligning with the CBCS. A policy statement on OBE has been developed, and all programs and courses have clearly defined objectives, including POs, and COs. They are prominently displayed on the college website, departmental websites, and communicated to students in the classroom, enabling teachers to plan their teaching and evaluation methods effectively.
IQAC coordinates with departments through regular meetings and review mechanisms to ensure that the objectives are met. The attainment of these objectives is assessed through internal evaluations, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, as well as progression and placement of final-year students. Continuous internal assessment helps monitor students’ progress towards the defined outcomes, and results are shared with students to create awareness about their final goals. Teachers conduct internal evaluations with the POs/COs in mind, and staff members are oriented on the topic during ISO audits.
Student feedback on the syllabus and teaching helps gauge the level of academic interaction, and informal discussions with students by Heads of Departments (HoDs) or mentors ensure that students understand the elementary objectives of their courses. The college administration monitors academic interaction through periodic visits to classrooms and laboratories, and the HoDs, Examination Committee, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) ensure the impartial conduct of internal and external examinations.
Various cocurricular activities prove helpful for assessing outcomes of teaching. Surveys on ‘Media and Violence’, Harantekekadi village and Alibag, voters survey before elections helped students practice what they have learned in classrooms. Events like ‘LitFest’, ‘Ankur’, ‘Botanica’, ‘Ratufa’, ‘Science Day’, Mehendi, Poetry Reading, Best Personality Competitions held during Annual Cultural Week help students to showcase their academic as well as cultural talents. Avishkar Research Competition offers unique chance to present innovation and research through poster and models. Poster competitions are regularly organised by History, Chemistry, Psychology, Computer Science, Botany, Zoology Departments. Poster Projects are prepared by the students of English Dept. as a part of internal evaluation. ‘Dr. Chandubai Kulkarni Elocution Competition’ is being organised for last 50 years, offering students an opportunity to critically express as well as prepare them for event organisation. ‘Socio-Scientific Exhibition’ is a flagship activity of college, bring students from Arts & Science on same platform. Another flagship activity, ‘Amhi Jijau Savitrichya Leki’ not only helps girls students to interact outside the college premises but provide guidance to school-girls. ‘Green Minds’; a journal published by Functional English is entirely prepared by students in content, design and financial management is done by students. Science Association provides a unique opportunity to students to practice their learning through ‘Door to Door’ campaign creating awareness about standardization. Mock Parliament organised by Political Science Dept. helps students to exhibit textual knowledge in real life situations.
The curricula of all skill-based courses have been designed with due consideration to micro and macro-economic and social needs as specified in NEP 2020 and NSQF. College IPP for next 5 years is focusing on this point as well.
