FROM THE DESK OF THE TEACHER-IN-CHARGE
Burdwan Raj College is one of the premier and oldest colleges (established in 1881) not only
in the district of Burdwan but also in the whole state of West Bengal. The picturesque campus
of about 17 acres situated at the centre of the town, adjacent to the Railway Station, Medical
College and District Hospital and The University of Burdwan. The serene beauty of
Shyamsayer adds grandeur to the College. The name of the College is so widespread that it
needs no introduction. Nevertheless, a glimpse of the portrait of the College is cheering, a
kind of sweet remembrance we always like to cherish.
Burdwan Raj College dates back to the year 1881, and it carries a long association with the
Maharajas of Burdwan, namely, Tej Chand, Mahatab Chand and Aftab Chand. The royal
patronage was taken over by the Govt. of West Bengal in1956 under the sponsoring scheme
and the College was affiliated to the University of Burdwan in 1960. The growth and
development of the College is quite remarkable. It runs three shifts-Morning (only General-
Arts, Science & Commerce), Day (Honours in Arts & Science) and Evening (Commerce-
Honours & General). 20 Honours Courses are taught here including B.B.A. (H) and B.C.A.
(H). It is at present a constituent college of Burdwan University as it offers P.G. study in
Bengali.
From the very beginning Burdwan Raj College is recognized as an excellent academic
institution where learning goes hand in hand with instilling values that transform human
beings, nay, society. It has produced a galaxy of eminent personalities in various fields of
arts, science, commerce and not the least, politics and administration. The long list of
luminous personalities speaks a lot about the College, its aims and objectives and
achievements. Mere education for education’s sake is not our goal; education with a mission
to strengthen human bond in the larger perspective of the globe is our emphasis. The College
always feels the need for values that can unite human beings in a society which is torn by
disquiet, disorder and disintegration. Students admitted into Burdwan Raj College are to be
aware of their responsibility to the College, to the fellow students and people of the society in
general. They should hold high the dignity and legacy of 134 years of the College. Failure to
maintain appropriate decorum attracts disciplinary action. Students are to attend at least
75% of classes held.
We are, however, not self-content with the present state. Our expectations have no bounds,
though they may be limited by real constraints. We have an intense desire to introduce B.Ed.
Course in the near future. We are also optimistic to open P.G. Courses in Physics and Botany
in Distant Mode. We also like to introduce MBA and MCA Programmes which will help our
students to find professional employment.
We have a dream to cherish – a dream to produce good citizens of the society who will serve
our country in one way or other.

CRITERION - I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.2 State the vision, mission and objectives of the institution, and describe
how these are communicated to the students, teachers, staff and other
stakeholders.
History & Development of Burdwan Raj College
Burdwan Raj College, Burdwan, established in 1881, is a premier educational

institute and one of the oldest seats of higher learning of West Bengal. The
College has completed its glorious 125 years in the year 2006.
The origin of the College goes as far back as 1817 when Maharaja Tej Chand
founded an Anglo-vernacular school within the premises of his palace at
Burdwan. It was extended and renamed ‘High English School’ by Maharaja
Mahatab Chand in 1854. In spite of Bengal renaissance slowly transforming
the social fabric, Burdwan remained rather indifferent to higher English
education until Aftab Chand became the Maharaja of Burdwan in 1881. In the
same year, he shifted the school to Nutanganj and introduced Liberal Arts
courses in accordance with the permission of the University of Calcutta and
christened the new unit Maharaja’s College. The school was eventually named
as ‘Raj Collegiate School’ and the College ‘Burdwan Raj College’.
Since then, the progress of the College is steady as well as remarkable. Among
the major incidents of its history, mention may be made of its transfer to Aftab
House, majestically standing in the North-West corner of the picturesque
Shyamsayar in the year 1941. The campus measures 17 acres and is almost
contiguous to that of the University of Burdwan.
The royal patronage of Burdwan Raj College was taken over by the
Government of West Bengal in 1956 under the Sponsoring scheme and finally
its necessary parting from the University of Calcutta became effective.
Eventually, Burdwan Raj College was affiliated to the University of Burdwan
in 1960.
21
Vision, Mission & Objectives of the Institution
The mission statement of the College is richly bourne out by its motto:
(Sahṛdayaṃ sāṃmanasyamavidveṣaṃ kṛṇomi vaḥ) : “I make you emotionally

sighted enough to visualize the social plane that must bring forth a collective
union of thoughts, minds and actions without any pride or prejudice. Standing,
as we do, at the cross-roads of time, we cannot but acknowledge the wisdom
and appositeness of such a statement where transforming the learner into a

teachers in order to effectively undertake curriculum delivery.
To ensure proper implementation and adequate awareness of the syllabi
among the learners a well laid out plan of action is implemented thorough:
(i) Arrangement of regular tutorial classes.
(ii) Emphasis is given on audio-visual presentations, Group Discussions,
and Project Work both by the teacher and the learner.
(iii) Conduction of Field Studies, Study Tours, etc.
(iv) A process of continuous evaluation through holding of Internal

25
College, St. Xavier’s School, Burdwan, East West Model School, Burdwan,

solidarity and discipline. Adopted villages under NSS are immensely benefited
by our volunteers. Our efficient teachers help in examining answer scripts and

UG papers, being members of the Board of Studies and complying with all
initiatives of the University with the best of spirit.
Our College displays the spirit of democracy and equality in inviting feedback
from all corners. We give utmost importance to students’ feedback. We have a
Grievance Redressal Cell to enable all concerned with the platform for
registering their grievances, if any, and help us in making our College better.
The College boasts of a galaxy of illustrious alumni many of whom have
remained in close contact with their alma mater and have consistently helped
us in different ways in maintaining high academic standards with proper
counseling/guidance. We properly maintain record of the visitors and invite
their comments. The College is always ready to extend our helping hands to
26
the poor, the marginalized and the first-generation learners. We look forward
to the hopeful future when people of all sections will be part of this big family
–eminent entrepreneurs, pioneers in the fields of academics, culture and games

(other than those under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If
‘yes’, give details on the process (‘Needs Assessment’, design,
development and planning) and the courses for which the curriculum has
been developed.
No. All the courses offered in our College are directly under the affiliation of
the University of Burdwan.
1.1.9 How does institution analyze / ensure that the stated objectives of
curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation?
As per the present evaluation system our College has been maintaining high
quality of academic performance for a long time. The increasing number of
University toppers (please refer to 2.6.2) in various departments and the
placement thereof clearly underline the quality of the academic environment
within the campus. Though systematic records are difficult to be kept since
most our students study at the Post Graduate level elsewhere, a sizable number
of them are employed in different colleges/universities and centers for higher
learning and research having duly qualified NET/SET/GATE etc. Quite a few
of them clear government sponsored TET and are employed in different
schools. Campus Interviews conducted by different organizations like WIPRO
BPO, Future Bazar Ltd and Pest Control India Ltd are regularly held under the
aegis of a well-equipped Placement Cell through which a good number of our
students are employed. Ours is a relatively less disturbed campus within
which the basic mantra is quality from within. We cannot put a deaf ear to the
ever-increasing demand for higher education. At the same time we maintain
discipline and impart our best to the students. When passed out, all of them do
not reflect the same academic proficiency, but most of them learn to face the
challenges of the new age with greater grit and determination.
27

CRITERION - II TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION
2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile

2.1.1 How does the college ensure publicity and transparency in the admission
process?
A public notice is displayed in the College website as well as in the College
notice board and local news papers carry advertisements usually soon after the
publication of the result of the Higher Secondary examinations of West Bengal
Council, mentioning the admission rules, eligibility criteria, intake capacity,
reservation policy according to government rules, dates of submission of
application forms and other relevant information about the admission process.
Quite often admission related information is available from print and
electronic media also. The admission process is totally computerized and
carried out through the process of counselling. Admission is done strictly on
the basis of merit. There is no management quota.
The admission committee of the College, comprising the Principal, Secretary
to the Teachers’ Council and the Heads of the Departments, plays an important
role in the framing of admission criteria based on the guidelines of The
University of Burdwan and recommendations of different departments of the
College. The student intake capacity for each course and the norms for
preparing the merit lists are displayed in the College website, College
Prospectus and in the college notice board.
As per guideline of the University of Burdwan, the process of admission and
counselling from the academic year 2015 is fully automated and carried out
online providing greater transparency and smoothness. The merit list of all
applicants is also published in the College website as well as in the College
notice board along with their ranks.
After the first phase admission, if there is any vacancy, the next phase of
admission is done from the pre-published waiting list. The names of the
candidates eligible for the next phase of admission are also duly notified.
30
2.1.2 Explain in detail the criteria adopted and process of admission (Ex. (i)

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and
student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such an effort and
how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?
Yes.
Every year at the beginning of the admission process each department submits
the criteria for admission to the admission committee. The Heads of the
Departments, in consultation with the other members of the departments, review
the existing criteria and modify the formula, if necessary, with a view to
enhance intake quality as well as to improve the admission process. The
members of the committee discuss the admission process of the previous year
and suggestions of the Heads of the Departments and modify the system to
make it error free as far as possible. In this way the admission process is
reviewed annually and the overall admission process is run smoothly every
year.
2.1.5 Reflecting on the strategies adopted to increase/improve access for
following categories of students, enumerate on how the admission policy of
the institution and its student profiles demonstrate/reflect the National
commitment to diversity and inclusion
 SC/ST
 OBC
 Women
 Differently-abled
 Economically weaker sections
 Minority community
 Any other
The College admits SC /ST candidates as per reservation policy of the
Government of West Bengal. From 2014 the new policy of the Government is
to increase the number of seats of OBC to 17 percent over a period of 3 years
keeping the total number of seats intact. In accordance to this the College
proposes to increase one/two seats in each course as per the availability of the
infrastructure. The College does not provide any extra privilege to the girl
students since there is a college exclusively for the girl students in Burdwan
33
itself. Students having 40% disability as per the medical certificate given by
Medical Board formed by CMOH of the District are admitted, subject to
fulfillment of minimum marks and as per norms specified by the Government.
There is no relaxation of marks in case of students coming from economically
weaker section. However, certain concessions in fees in the form of granting
full free studentship or half-free studentship are awarded to economically
backward but meritorious students. The College has several Committees, for
example Student’s Welfare Committee which disseminates information related
to various scholarships from different public and private sector units, NGOs,
voluntary and welfare organizations, such as Kanyasree scheme of the
Government of West Bengal, to the students and makes them aware of such
stipends. Various private and corporate house scholarships are also given to
needy but meritorious students. The College always encourages sports
personnel in the categories of State-level, National-level or University-level to
study in this institution.
2.1.6 Provide the following details for various programmes offered by the
institution during the last four years and comment on the trends. i.e.
reasons for increase / decrease and actions initiated for improvement.
The admission procedure in our College follows the method of stream-wise
admission. So the applications are invited with basic personal and academic
information about the candidate seeking admission. They are admitted as per
their rank in merit-serial list and according to their choice of Honours subject
and pass-course combinations. No provision is there in our admission system
for a candidate to apply for a particular course. Therefore, the ratio of demand
in regard to various courses does not arise.

2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs of Students

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently-abled students and
ensure adherence to government policies in this regard?
The College is sensitive to differently-abled students who are always provided
with all sorts of help as and when necessary. However, we frankly admit that
more steps need to be taken for proper and adequate facilitation of these
students to carry out the academic pursuit without any hindrance.
2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students’ needs in terms of knowledge and
skills before the commencement of the programme? If ‘yes’, give details on
the process.
Yes. There is no provision for direct admission to any department. The merit list
for counselling and admission for all subjects is based not only on the marks of
relevant subject but also on other related subject(s), so that merit of a student is
judged by giving importance to other subjects also. However the minimum
eligibility criteria for each subject are strictly maintained at the time of
counselling. Students’ needs in terms of knowledge and skills are assessed by
the teacher at the very beginning of the programme.
42
2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge the
knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with the
programme of their choice? (Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment
Courses, etc.
After admission and just before proper commencement of each programme, the
necessary skills and overall capability of the students to carry on the respective
programme are assessed. Students are given required inputs like mathematical
skill for physical science subjects, language skill for language based subjects,
basic experimental skill for laboratory based subjects, etc. Slow and advanced
learners are identified on the basis of classroom participation, class tests, results
of mid-term examination and test exam. The teachers of different departments
adopt strategies like academic counselling, remedial classes, special classes,
tutorials for the slow learners so that they can cope with other students. After
the results of terminal examinations conducted by the College, parent-teacher
meetings are organized by the departments through which parents are intimated
about the academic progress of their wards.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as
gender, inclusion, environment etc.?
Students and staff are sensitized on issues of gender through holding of seminars
/ invited lectures on gender-related topics. The various ways by which the
Institution sensitizes the issue of inclusion are the following:
(i) The institution has two students’ hostels of which, one is to accommodate
general category students from rural area and the other is for SC & ST
students. A large number of tribal students stay in that hostel.
(ii) The College admits SC /ST candidates with relaxed norms as per
government rules.
(iii) Certain concessions in fees in the form of granting full free studentship
and/or half-free studentship are awarded to meritorious students, who may
be in tiring circumstances. There are some UGC scholarships for SC/ST
students, as well.
43
 Regarding sensitization on the issue of environment the institution has the

following provisions:
(i) Environmental Studies is included as a compulsory subject carrying 100
marks in University B.A. / B.Sc./B.Com syllabus. Students are required to
prepare a project on any environment related topic under the guidance of
the teachers.
(ii) Solar lamps in the College campus have been installed. It is being done
with a view to create awareness on renewable energy sources among the
staff and students.
(iii) There is the Maintenance and Beautification Committee which is
instrumental in the maintenance of the cleanliness and the aesthetics of
the college.
(iv) Besides these, students and teachers actively participate in the various
activities performed by the NSS unit of the College like cleaning of the
college campus, the hostels, bus stand, main market and neighbouring
adopted villages, especially nearby slums for the maintenance of hygiene,
awareness programme against malaria, etc. and holding of Blood
Donation Camps regularly.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special

educational/learning needs of advanced learners?
Several departments organize students’ seminars, extension lectures, invited

lectures by eminent scholars from other institutions, etc. Advanced learners are
encouraged to sit for competitive examinations and pursue higher studies and
are motivated to participate actively in seminars in the College and in other
academic institutions. They are also encouraged to apply for different
scholarships (viz. JBNSTS, INSPIRE, etc.). The College believes in the
maxim that students deserve the best possible exposure to knowledge. With
this end in view experts/scholars of eminence are invited through the
Extension Lecture programmes.
44
2.2.6 How does the institute collect, analyze and use the data and information on
the academic performance (through the programme duration) of the
students at risk of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of
society, physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections
etc.)?
All relevant informations of an applicant are collected through the admission

form at the time of submission of forms. These data of the admitted students are
preserved in the principal’s office. Besides this, at the time of admission to the
college other important information of the students is preserved in the
principal’s office. Record of results of University examinations are preserved in
the College office. In these ways the College maintains a students’ profile.
Departments use these data to study the academic progress of the students of the
respective departments over time. Slow learners, physically challenged students
and students from disadvantaged sections of the society are asked about their
problems and given counseling accordingly. Their guardians are invited in order
to know the problems of their wards and they are also given suggestions
accordingly. Remedial classes are taken by the faculty members of the
Institution to help the under-performers. The Remedial Course is funded by the
UGC to especially help the students of the minority communities and the SC/ST
candidates. However, more steps are needed to be done in this matter, as
academic progress of all students are evaluated, but that study for categorical
evaluation of the students has not yet been done thoroughly.
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the College plan and organise the teaching, learning and
evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue
print, etc.)
At the beginning of each academic session the College prepares the academic
calendar based on the academic calendar of the University of Burdwan to which
the College is affiliated. This calendar is distributed to the students at the time
of admission every year. Since the college is affiliated to the University of
45
Burdwan the syllabus is primarily framed by the University. Many of the

teachers contribute in syllabus revision of the University being members of
relevant Boards of Study.
Name of the teacher members in Board of Studies:
Name of the Faculty Member in Board of Study
Dhananjoy Ghoshal P.G Board of Studies of Bengali of The University of

Burdwan, (For Last 3 Years).
Dr. Pradeep Banerjee U. G. Board of Studies of Botany (Last 8 Years),

Environmental Studies, and Environmental Science.

Studies, and Environmental Science.
Dr. Abani Mohan Rudra U. G. Board of Studies of Physics
Dr. Raghunath Roy U. G. Board of Studies of Mathematics
Dr. Bijoy Chand U. G. Board of Studies of Political Science
Teachers act as the experts in the syllabus revision process and participate in the
workshops conducted by the University for Syllabus Revision. Depending on
the syllabus stipulated by the university and college academic calendar, each
department frames the teaching plan, distributing the classes per paper / topic
for every teacher at the beginning of the academic session. Some teachers
individually maintain a lesson plan to complete the syllabus within a reasonable
time. Some departments distribute study materials to the students. Libraries are
effectively used as ready reference of study materials. Intra-departmental
meetings are held from time to time to review the progress of study in the
department in order to complete the syllabus, and for proper understanding of
the subject by the students.
 Organization of evaluation schedule:
The College holds some Class tests round the year and one test examination. These
examinations are held for first-year, second-year and third-year students. Results of
these examinations are published. Answer scripts are shown to the students and the
46
scheme of evaluation is explained. Model answers are discussed for the benefit of
the students. Tutorial classes are held regularly by the departments in order to
impart more knowledge and skills. Besides these tests, students’ presentation in
seminars, projects in the relevant subjects etc. also help in monitoring students’
performance before the university examinations.
2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning process?
Functions carried out by the IQAC to improve the teaching-learning
process with administrative, academic extension activities, research and
Knowledge resource extension.
The College IQAC team takes several measures to improve the teaching-
learning process.
The team annually receives feedback from the third year collegiate students.
The outgoing students anonymously rate the College, the department in which the
student was enrolled, the teachers and infrastructure of the College in terms of
Libraries, Laboratories and other facilities. These reports are analysed for
strategic development.
The IQAC team annually visits all the departments to conduct academic audit of
the departments. During the visits, the IQAC team monitors the academic
activities, records of students’ seminars, records of College and University results
and progress of University examination results of the departments.
 Recently the IQAC interacted with the students and responding to their demand
a Gymnasium was installed within the campus.
2.3.3. How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support
structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like
interactive learning, collaborative learning and independent learning
among the students?
 The teachers of science departments arrange for student-centric learning
strategies by focussing on application-based experiments.
47
 Teachers of other departments along with lecture method use group

discussions; students’ seminar, etc. in order to motivate them beyond the
scope of theoretical knowledge only.
 Although the traditional chalk and talk lecture method is predominantly used,
different other methods are adopted to make teaching an exciting and
interactive exercise.
Various other methods used by the departments are the following:

 Students’ seminars
 Invited lectures by external speakers
 Use of audio-visual aids
 Interactive sessions
 Group studies / discussions among the students
 Case studies and projects
 Excursions
 Use of maps
 Use of overhead projector
 Power-point presentation
 Field trips
2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific
temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and
innovators?
The College has a vibrant culture and scientific temperament among the
students through a number of activities which include:
 Presenting creative models/experiments for scientific exhibitions in the
College annually.
 Laboratory visits to distinguished academic institutions.
 Annual publication of the College magazine named Samhati.
 Publication of Departmental Wall -Magazine at least once every year.
 Each Hostel publishes its own wall- magazine at least once every year.
 Students of each Hostel organize debates and discussions on various issues.
48
 Youth Parliament: Students of our College regularly participate in the Youth

Parliament organized by the Government of West Bengal.
 Visits to academic institutions and museums.
 Students are encouraged to participate actively in the College NSS unit to
inculcate a sense of civic responsibility and community orientation.
2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the faculty
for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, e-learning – resources from
National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and
National Mission on Education through Information and Communication
Technology (NME-ICT), open educational resources, mobile education, etc.
Teachers effectively make use of equipment like audiovisual aids and overhead
projectors etc. to make learning a satisfying experience for the students. The
College Auditorium is used by the departments for teaching with power-point
presentation. Internet resources are used by the faculty for effective teaching.
The College is a subscriber of INFLIBNET. Teachers and students can utilize
this resource also.
2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of knowledge
and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars, workshops etc.)?
The students and faculty are exposed to advanced level of knowledge and skills
through the following activities:
 External subject experts from different Institutions of higher learning are
regularly invited to deliver seminar lectures to augment the topics which are
already taught in the class by the departmental teachers.
 Students are encouraged, motivated and guided by the teachers adequately
so as to participate successfully in various National and State level
research-oriented promotional programmes.
 Teachers attend the UGC sponsored Orientation Programmes and Refresher
Courses and Short term Courses organized by the Academic Staff Colleges
of different universities to keep themselves updated on the recent
developments in their respective disciplines.
49
 They attend seminars / conferences / workshops organized by our College

and other academic institutions.
 The College provides internet facilities to the teachers and students during
the College hours, free of cost. Students and teachers have the opportunity
to acquire knowledge through internet surfing.
 The College deputes teachers to attend various seminars /
workshops/conferences, etc. organized by the academic institutions of other
states of the country so that they get acquainted with the best practices of
those institutions.
 Utilizing the research support available from different organizations like the
UGC (minor and major research projects).
2.3.7 Detail (process and the number of students \benefitted) on the academic,
personal and psycho-social support and guidance services (professional
counseling/mentoring/academic advise) provided to students.
Since academic counseling and mentoring are part of a long established
structure and very need based and conducted in a humane way statistics are not
maintained. Career Counseling Cell has been functioning to provide personal
and professional guidance to the students. The College has a Disciplinary
Committee and senior faculties as members. It monitors the discipline among
the students, counsels them and takes measures to correct and reform students
who are found to have defiant behaviour. The purpose of the committee is not to
punish but to reform students towards holistic awareness.
2.3.8 Provide details of innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by the

faculty during the last four years. What are the efforts made by the
institution to encourage the faulty to adopt new and innovative approaches
and the impact of such innovative practices on student learning?
This is needless to mention that each teacher applies his/her own skill in the
teaching learning system. As already mentioned in 2.3.5, various methods are
adopted by the teachers to make learning effective as well as interesting. The
College authority always encourages teachers to practise innovative method
50
provided the fund permits the same. Whenever any new grant is available the
authority asks for proposals from the departments for utilization of the funds.
The departments are given full liberty to choose the equipments / softwares /
materials to be purchased.
2.3.9 How are library resources used to augment the teaching-learning process?
By recommending reference work, accessing internet facilities to students the

teaching-learning process have been augmented. Digitization of some old and
valuable books has been started. The library has joined the ENLIST programme
(conducted by INFLIBNET) since 2014. e-Journals and e-books can be availed
by this. The library has installed library software KOHA compatible with
Z39.50. This has helped in better acquisition, circulation, cataloguing, book
reserves and bibliography services.
The College has one central library and two shift libraries – one in the morning
shift and the other in the evening shift. The central library is well-equipped
having more than 31,000 books including text books, reference books, advanced
books, journals and periodicals on various subjects. There are many old and rare
books and journals also. It remains open from 10.40 am to 5 pm while the
morning library from 7 am to 1.30 pm and the evening library from 2 pm to 8
pm on every working day. Besides, there are seminar libraries in all departments
from which students can take book as per their requirement. Backward and
financially weaker students are given special care in this respect. Teachers and
students visit the library regularly. There are other support services available in
the library, for example,
 Computer facility is available in the library.

 Both teachers and students have access to internet service within the college
hour free of any cost.
A Xerox centre attached to the central library building works all seven days of
the week. The college provides logistic help to the Xerox centre.
 Free Internet facility is provided in the Library during College hours.
51
Thus the College library contributes a lot in the teaching-learning process of

the College. Besides these the question papers of college and university
examinations of previous years are preserved and are available in the library
for helping the students in preparation for examinations. Books are used by the
teachers not only for classroom teaching, but for advanced level of learning.
2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum
within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the
challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome
these.
Yes, sometimes the institution faces certain challenges in completing the
curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar. For example,
University exams were postponed and as a result classes were disrupted due to
election procedures during last two academic sessions. The teachers came
forward to take extra classes to complete the syllabi. The students were also
encouraged to contact teachers and ask for special tutorials and doubt-clearing
sessions.
Sometimes a temporary vacuum is created in certain departments due to
retirement/ transfer of faculty members. In such cases rest of the faculty
shoulders the additional burden of completing the syllabus on time.
Departments also arrange for special classes as and when necessary to
overcome the challenges in completing the curriculum within the time frame
of the academic calendar.
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching
learning?
There is a well-established mechanism by which the institution continuously
monitors and evaluates the quality of teaching:
 Classroom attendance of the students is closely monitored.
 Continuous assessment holding class tests, test examinations.
 Students’ feedback.
 Regular Parent-Teacher meetings.
52
 Participation of students in seminars.

 Principal and the faculty members of the concerned department individually
meet the parents of students with unsatisfactory academic performance.

external professional agencies.
54
2.4.4 What policies/systems are in place to recharge teachers? (eg: providing

research grants, study leave, support for research and academic
publications teaching experience in other national institutions and
specialized programmes industrial engagement etc.)
The College tries its level-best to encourage all those activities required to
academically ‘recharge’ teachers. Some of the measures taken in this direction
are as follows:
 Providing leave under FIP for doctoral work.
 Providing study leave (for completing specific research work)
 The College also allows teachers to attend Orientation and Refresher
Courses, Short term courses as per UGC norms and schedules.
 The College brings to the notice of teachers each and every research grant,
particularly those offered by the UGC. It plays a proactive role in
preparing and submitting such proposals.
 The College, as a matter of policy, tries to avail of all opportunities for
organizing State/National/International Seminars, Conferences and
Workshops.
 The College is positively responsive to teachers’ proposals to pursue
higher studies/research work. The Principal always gives ready
permission to any faculty member invited as teachers/resource persons.
Such proposals are placed before the Governing Body by the Principal
after consultations with the Department concerned. In the recent past all
such research proposals have been sanctioned.
 The College encourages teachers to attend National and International level
seminars.
2.4.5 Give the number of faculty who received awards / recognition at the state,
national and international level for excellence in teaching during the last
four years. Enunciate how the institutional culture and environment
contributed to such performance/achievement of the faculty.
No award has been secured by any member of the faculty. However Dr
Sachindranath Das, a faculty of Physics department, has received DST –
55
INSPIRE Fellow award in research in 2014. He is working at present in

Jadavpur University.
2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and
external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality
of the teaching-learning process?
The College has introduced evaluation of the teachers by the students, on a
regular basis and submitted report to the Principal. The students’ feedback is
carefully analyzed and the strengths and weaknesses in their teaching method
are analyzed.
Evaluation of teachers by the external peers is done at the time of promotion.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution
especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?
After each examination answer scripts are shown to the students and the
scheme of evaluation is explained in detail. The teachers of a department
analyse the results of the examinations in departmental meetings. In the
parent-teacher meetings parents are also informed about the performance of
their wards. In this way the evaluative methods are communicated to the
students and other members of the institution. The method of creating
awareness in the stakeholders about the evaluation process is as follows:
Students:
i) Classroom briefing by teachers.
ii) Notice display on Notice Boards.
iii) Briefing to students by the Principal.
Teachers:
i) Academic Council meeting
ii) Departmental Heads’ Meeting
iii) Departmental faculty meeting
iv) Teachers’ Council Meeting
56
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution
has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its
own?
The University of Burdwan to which the College is affiliated has introduced
new syllabui in almost all subjects of B.A./B.Sc./B. Com. Streams in 2014.
‘C’Programming in Mathematics (Honours) has been included in the syllabus
from 2015. The pattern of questions has also been changed, giving more
emphasis on objective type questions. In some subjects, the system of awarding
internal marks has been introduced.
The College has accordingly changed its examination system together with
pattern of question in its internal examinations. Faculty members have given
necessary instructions and guidance to the students to make them acquainted
with this new pattern. This enables the students to compete and appear in
entrance examinations of reputed international and national institutes for post-
graduate studies.
2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation
reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own?
This is implemented through academic curriculum and notification through
college prospectus and institutional Rules and Regulations and notification of
individual departmental Rules and Regulations. To ensure effective
implementation of the evaluation reforms of the University the Institution
maintains regular contact with the University administration, i.e., the Controller
of Examinations, Registrar, Inspector of Colleges, etc. by regularly attending
meetings. Faculty members are appointed as paper setters, moderators and/or
examiners. Some of the teachers as the member of the Board of Studies express
and exchange views with teachers of the University and other colleges. The
College administration implements these reforms through the University
Examination Committee formed by the Teachers’ Council. This ensures the
smooth running of the examination system. This committee also keeps track of
all the developments in the University evaluation procedure. To ensure effective
57
implementation of the evaluation reforms initiated on its own, the College has
an Internal Examination Committee.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches

adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have
positively impacted the system.
Among the formative evaluation approaches adopted by the College we can
mention holding of the test examinations, unit tests, tutorials, class tests,
interactive sessions, group discussions, students’ seminars, etc. Each whole
paper is divided into some units which are again divided into same modules.
Class tests are taken covering each module.
Among the summative evaluation approaches we can mention holding of final
test before the university exams, parent-teacher meetings, etc. All these methods
of evaluation have a positive impact on the system. Students’ academic progress
is monitored regularly through the formative methods. Depending upon the
evaluation slow and advanced learners is identified by the departments.
Remedial classes are often arranged for the students who could not perform
satisfactorily. As a result of these evaluation approaches, number of slow
learners is found to have drastically fallen at the end of each session. Advanced
learners are encouraged to be engaged in higher studies and in more challenging
jobs. Summative methods are helpful to know the overall performance of the
students and thus help students to evaluate themselves for effective preparation
for the university examinations.
58
Examples of positive impact:

Performance of the students in their University Examination is excellent.

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and
weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for
behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.
In order to ensure transparency answer scripts of all examinations organized by
the college / departments are shown to the students. While evaluating answer
scripts, weights are given on the clarity of thought, regularity in attending class
lectures, expression of ideas, independent thinking and grasp of related relevant
ideas, etc. Additionally, the Disciplinary Committee plays the role of a
reformative and counseling unit to ensure complete integrity in the process. To
encourage communication skills and independent learning, students are
encouraged to participate in seminars, write papers, participate in public debates
conducted by the Govt. and Non-Govt. Organizations.
2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/affiliating

university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the
students?
The graduate attributes desired include
 Consistent and excellent academic performance
 An openness towards career orientation
 Development of self-reliance, skills in communication, academic writing,
and presentation skills
60
 A complete approach to education.

The stated mission and vision of the College addresses these attributes and the
College ensures it through its sustained excellence in academic programmes;
its career oriented courses and its career counselling cell.
2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to
evaluation both at the college and University level?
In case of grievances regarding evaluation at the College level, following steps
are followed:
 Answer scripts are shown to the students.
 Papers may be scrutinized again in front of the students. The concerned
teacher often explains to the students their weak points and ways for better
performance.
 For redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation at the University level,
steps are followed:
 The students may apply for scrutiny or re-examination of answer scripts in the
prescribed proforma, forwarded by the College authority.
 The scripts are then scrutinized or re-examined, as the case may be, by a
different scrutinizer or examiner.
 Sometimes, if needed, photocopies of scripts are shown to the examinee.
 Students can also directly approach the Controller of Examinations or the
Vice-Chancellor for intervention on their part.
2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’ give details
on how the students and staff are made aware of these?
The mission and goal of the College determine its learning outcome.
The mission of the College has always been the development to a complete
human being. Students are provided with the opportunities required to identify
and develop their inherent qualities to help them flourish as complete human
beings and take on the role of responsible and sensitive global citizens.
61
At the end of three years spent in the College, students are equipped with inner
strength and confidence to face the society in general and the world of higher
learning in particular, enabling them to become complete citizens.

The College has not conducted any official Green Audit by any external agency
as yet. However, constant efforts are being made to maintain the greeneries of
the campus and to preserve the old trees.
What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-
friendly?
Energy conservation
 Initiative is being taken by the College to install a solar panel on the roof of
the science building for the use in Physics and Chemistry laboratories.
Use of renewable energy
 The College has installed some solar lamps along the pathways within the
College campus.
Water harvesting
 Rain water is collected from the roof of the College buildings and channelized
towards the Mangala pond within the College campus. As a result, the pond
does not get dry in the summer. It helps in pisciculture in the pond.
Check dam construction
 Not applicable.
Efforts for Carbon Neutrality
 Cutting down standing trees on the College premise has been strictly
prohibited. This can be regarded as the first step towards the achievement of
carbon neutrality.
 The College has installed one 100V generator which supplements the
electricity supply during power-cuts keeping the carbon emission at a bare
minimum.
167
Plantation
 The NSS volunteers plant trees within the campus from time to time which
facilitates carbon sequestration.
 The gardens of the campus are maintained by paid staff under the supervision
of the College authority.
Hazardous Waste Management

 Solid wastes are disposed of in closed containers stationed at various points
within the College premises which are regularly cleaned away by paid staff.
 Hazardous effluents from the Chemistry laboratory are disposed in the pits
dug in the ground and covered safely so as to prevent the environment from
any harm.
 Initiatives are being taken to make fresh purchases of equipments that are bio-
degradable.
e-waste management
 e-wastes are stored in a separate area within the College which are disposed of
by the municipality at regular intervals.

168
7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices which have contributed to the
achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the
Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
Best Practice 1
1. Title of Practice:
Organization of Blood Donation Camp
2. Goal /Aim:
To help the district hospital (BMCH) to overcome the shortage of blood.
3. The Context:
The district hospital is situated beside the College campus. Quite a
considerable number of relatives of in-patients come to the college and request
the students’ union to arrange for blood for their patients. This has made the
students realise the scarcity of blood and the importance of blood donation.
Hence, each year students’ union organizes blood-donation camps on the
Independence Day, on Republic Day and/ or on College foundation day (8th
August).
4. The Practice :
 Students’ Union makes contact with the officials of the Blood Bank situated
within the campus of the District Hospital (BMCH).
 Date of blood donation camp is fixed after consultation with the officials of
the Blood Bank.
 Doctors, nurses and kits are supplied by the Hospital.
 Students’ Union arranges the tiffin / refreshments for the donors as well as
the doctors, nurses and the support staff.
5. Evidence of success:
The organization of blood donation camp has created great enthusiasm among
the students. Number of donors has been increasing year after year. Further,
many students donate blood on other day when relatives of patients of the
adjacent BMCH come with the prayer of blood.
169
Best Practice 2
1. Title of Practice:
Village Adoption Scheme by NSS.
2. Goal/ Aim:
 To develop roads of the adopted village
 To clean the jungles and ponds of the village
 To make the aged villagers literate
 To provide the knowledge of three R’s to some selected villagers
 To remove superstitions from the rural life
3. The context:
In the villages, roads are still kaccha and it hinders transportation of goods,
especially in the rainy season. Further, village jungles and ponds are not clean.
Mosquitoes grow and malaria spreads. Again, most of the villagers are illiterate
and superstitious. As a result, they are backward, averse to any progressive
change. This hinders their development. The NSS units of Burdwan Raj College
adopt one village nearby each year and tries to remove those above mentioned
maladies in order to make that village habitable and prosperous.
4. The Practice:
 A village is first selected after having consultation with local administration
 A survey is conducted on the condition of roads, ponds, drainage, etc.
 An offhand data are collected on adult literacy
 The NSS units then make some groups. Each group is entrusted with a
particular type of job.
5. Evidence of success:
The village adoption scheme of the NSS units of Burdwan Raj College has been
a great success. The units have been rewarded several times in the past by local
administrative bodies. The quality of life has considerably improved in the
adopted villages. Even some villagers of other nearby villages now request our
NSS units to adopt their villages. This proves the success of the scheme.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning: A holistic approach in
creating a suitable environ of learning is sought to be created through proper

encouraged to think independently and explore creative ways of expression.
Special emphasis is always given to classroom interactions and deliberations.
34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension
activities:
Students participate in different social, cultural and literary meets in different
levels and have regularly won laurels for the institute.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans:
Strength: As one of the oldest departments of the College, the English department
has consistently shown high qualities of excellence. We receive students of high
merit not only from Burdwan and surrounding areas, but a lot many of them come
from neighbouring districts and far-flung areas as well, in search of quality
education. Their consistent performance -- aided by the experienced faculty, regular
holding of classes and tutorials, free and fair interactions, assessment through
continuous internal examinations -- is reflected in the university results.
Weakness: Majority of our students, coming from Bengali medium background,
lack in proper communication ability in the language they study. They find it
difficult to express their ideas and thoughts independently in English. The
department also suffers from having no dedicated classroom or a language lab/ICT
based classroom and insufficient members of permanent faculty.
Opportunity: Situated adjacent to the University of Burdwan and three other UG
colleges, viz., MUC Women’s College, Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya and St.
Xavier’s College, we have ample opportunity for mutual collaboration in devising
newer avenues of developing teaching-learning expertise and creating an atmosphere
of student enrichment through holding of joint collaborating efforts.
Challenges:
(i) First and foremost to set up a seminar library for the department.
(ii) To prepare the learners to think and act independently, critically and creatively.
(iii) To ensure consistent academic performance

held regularly.
 Most of our students are University rank holders including toppers at the UG
Level
 Many of our students become rank holders at the PG Level.
 Many of our students have qualified NET/SET and are placed in University
(Presidency) and Colleges apart from schools/NGOs. Good placement of the
students in general
 A cordial relationship among teachers and students
 In addition to college library, text books and Reference books are available in
the Departmental Library.
 Stress on research and publication by teachers in reputed journals.
222

 There is no separate staff room for the Teachers for self
study/consultation/research.
 There is only one Full Time Teacher.
 Teacher-Student ratio is poor
 Lack of adequate infrastructural facilities like computers, internet connection
at Department for teachers.
 Lack of adequate contingency fund for undertaking instant lectures/special
classes by available external experts.
Opportunity:
 Closeness with the sociology department of The University of Burdwan.
 Interactions with Sociologists engaged in higher studies and research are very
much helpful especially for students for their future planning.
 Easy availability of old and new reading materials for the students.
 Scope for research for teachers.
Challenges:
 Bringing forward the laggards.
 Motivating the students to learn English.
 Bringing projects to the Department.

activities:
Under the supervision of Teachers, Students participate in Annual Social
Programme, organized by the college, preparing exhibits, charts etc for better
understanding of nature.
Strength:
1) Department has experienced Teaching faculty members from different
universities mostly having good exposures on research. All are very much
sincere, regular in taking their assignments. Teachers are also expert in operating
different RS and GIS softwares like ERDAS Imagine, ArcGIS, Q-GIS etc.
2) Departmental inputs i.e. students admitted here are best students of the Burdwan
District, and neighbouring districts. Most of them are recipients of National /
state level scholarships.
3) Laboratories are well-equipped with sufficient facilities for Honours and General
practical classes.
4) Internet connection is available for teachers and students.
5) In addition to college library, text books and Reference books as listed by The
University of Burdwan are available in the Departmental Library.
Weakness:
1) Inadequate number of full time teacher, inadequate class rooms compelled us to
run some theoretical classes within the laboratory.
2) Laboratory space is not sufficient to accommodate all the students properly.
3) There are no separate cubicles for the Teachers in the Department for self study.
4) Department has no separate RS/GIS laboratory.
230
Opportunity:
At UG level, the academic atmosphere offered to the students are quite enough for
competing National level entrance tests for ensuing MSc, or Integrated PhD courses
in various recognized Universities. Teachers have the opportunities to carry out
research individually in their own field seeking research grant from UGC, DST etc.
Challenges:
1) Maintain the past glory of the department, in producing quality students who
were placed in national and international institutes.
2) Placement of the students in premier Institutes for promising career in the
academic arena.
3) Creation of research environment for betterment or up gradation of knowledge
of the teachers and students.

examinations such as NET, SLET, GATE, Civil services, Defense
services, etc.:
No systematic record available. A few students in each year, after qualifying
NGPE, JAM, JEST etc., are pursuing MSc in different IITs. Some of them are
already placed in research positions inside and outside India and also placed in
the Schools, Colleges and Universities. NET-04, SET-01.

Government or other agencies: FF/HF,SC/ST/OBC/Minority: 03, and from
Govt. (INSPIRE and other) agencies:

/seminar) with external experts: At least 10 special lectures per year by
experienced professor of different universities and colleges.

Step 2 – Study by overhead projector and PPT Presentation on specific topics
for better understanding
Step4–Teacher-student-guardian meet to resolve difficulties , if any.

activities:
Excursion are organised by the teachers for field and nature study. Under the
supervision of teachers, students participate in Annual Social Programme,
organized by the College, preparing exhibits, charts, etc. for better
understanding of nature and society.Students participate in intra and inter-
college Poster ,extempore, quiz and chess competitions.Students participate in
Blood donation camp.

Strengths:
In the long history of this famous College, a large number of eminent
professors have taught here and empowered the students to reach their and the
societal life-goals.
The students admitted here are among the best students of the Burdwan and
neighbouring districts. Many of them are recipients of National / state level
scholarships.
Laboratories are well-equipped with sufficient facilities for honours and
general practical classes.
Internet connection is available for teachers and students.
249
In addition to the College library, textbooks and Reference books as listed by

The University of Burdwan are available in the Departmental Library
Weaknesses:
A slight over-occupancy of the classrooms compelled us to run few theoretical
classes within the laboratory.
Laboratory space not sufficient to accommodate all the students properly.
There are no separate cubicles for the teachers in the Department for self
study.
Opportunities:
Interactions with professors and research scholars engaged in higher studies
and research works in the University of Burdwan are often made possible for
the students through departmental communications. The short distance also
benefits in this regard. Besides the University of Burdwan, we also mentor
students to visit various research centres and universities in Kolkata, which
includes, but is not limited to the visit to the National Herbarium at Kolkata
for identification of plant specimens and group visits to the National and
American libraries for the benefit of the students. Publishers of books and
journals are always in contact for up to date editions. Active supply of various
modern and effective instruments and chemicals is noted in our department for
research and paper publications.
Challenges:
The challenge ahead of this department is to perform best with foresaid
strength of department
a. To develop a National Level Herbarium.
b. Involvement in Minor and Major Research Project with the collaboration of
other Institute/University.
c. Invitation of some effective lectures of experts from outside our College.
d . New methods to be adopted for improvement in learning, including the
setting up of smart classrooms.
e. To open a Postgraduate Department.
f. Establishment of well-equipped Research Laboratory

Step 1 - Making an idea about weakness and required learning capacity of

incumbents of department by proper interaction.
Step 2 – Planning topics of the Syllabus as per requirement.
Step 3 – Preparing acceptable study materials.
Step 4 – Delivering lectures with interaction.
Step 5 – Evaluating regularly by class tests.

activities:
Students participate in ISR by preparing informative Posters on Chemistry
related social hazards for public awareness, NSS and annual function, sports
and games etc.
Strength:
Department has three separate well-equipped laboratories with sufficient facilities
two for honours and one for general practical classes. Internet connection is
available for teachers and students. Text books and Reference books as listed by The
University of Burdwan are available in college library. Some books (including
271
specimen copies) for students and teachers (preferable for various chapters) are
stored in department for study in “free times” during college hours. Most important
fact is that maximum students are intelligent and laborious and very much interested
in learning.
Weakness:
There is an urgent necessity for more full-time teachers. At least two class rooms
adjacent to laboratory are required for better teaching. One more laboratory and
some instruments for Physical Chemistry practical classes may improve efficiency.
Opportunity:
Interactions with people engaged in higher studies and research works in Chemistry
including ex-students are very much helpful especially for students for their future
planning. Publishers of books and journals are always in contact for up to date
editions. Suppliers of various modern and effective instruments and chemicals are
always active.
Challenges:
The challenge ahead of this department to perform best with foresaid strength of
department
a. New method adopting for improvement of learning.
b. Involvement in Minor Research Project with the collaboration of other
Institute/University.
c. Invitation of some effective lectures of experts outside our College.
d. To inform and teach students about modern applications of Chemistry.

293
Strength:
Department has experienced Teaching faculty members from different
universities mostly having good exposures on research. All are very much
sincere, regular in taking their assignments.
Departmental inputs i.e. students admitted here are best students of the
Burdwan District, and neighbouring districts. Most of them are recipients of
National / state level scholarships.
Laboratories are well-equipped with sufficient facilities for honours and
general practical classes.
Internet connection is available for teachers and students.
In addition to college library, text books and Reference books as listed by The
University of Burdwan are available in the Departmental Library
Weakness:
Inadequate class rooms compelled us to run few theoretical classes within the
laboratory.
Laboratory space not sufficient to accommodate all the students properly.
There are no separate cubicles for the Teachers in the Department for self
study.
Opportunity:
At UG level, the academic atmosphere offered to the students are quite enough
for competing National level entrance tests for ensuing MSc, or Integrated
PhD courses in various recognized Universities, IITs, and also in research
Institutes like TIFR, SNBOSE etc. Teachers have the opportunities to carry
out research individually in their own field seeking research grant from UGC,
DST etc.
Challenges:
Maintain the past glory of the department, in producing quality students who
were placed in national and international institutes.
Placement of the students in premier Institutes for promising career in the
academic arena.
Creation of research environment for betterment or up gradation of knowledge
of the teachers and students.

SWOC ANALYSIS
Strengths  Dedicated group of faculty members having teaching and

research interest in different areas of Economics.
 Apart from teaching and research, the faculty members
continuously contribute to institutional and social development.
 Comparatively good quality of students with excellent
communication skills and subject knowledge which enable them
to face the job market – almost all the UG students are selected
at the PG level leading to 100% UG to PG progression.
 Department has a strong linkage with the PG departments of the
affiliating university and other universities and with the
employers.
 Department has a nice Departmental library along with a
periodical “Economic and Political Weekly”. Most Books and
Journals are purchased by the Teachers out of their own
financial contribution.
Weaknesses  Lack of infrastructural facilities like IT infrastructure etc.

 Less numbers of applications leading to relatively less
enrolment.
 Deficiency in national publicity of the programme - less number
323
of application from other states.
Opportunities  In view of the increasing relevance of the subject, the UG

course can be developed as one of the outstanding and relevant
courses of our state.
 Opportunity to handle and solve socio-economic problems of
the district, state and region through relevant project and
research works.
 Opportunity to attract students other districts and states –
mainly from the eastern region of our country.
 Development of collaboration with various industries and micro
medium and small enterprises of Bardhaman district.
 Development of tie-ups with other colleges and higher
educational institutes as part of collaborative research.
Challenges  Attracting quality students in view of the decreasing trend in

enrolment in the subject which is also a state-level phenomenon.
 Meeting competition from other emerging subjects.
 Meeting competition from the private management institutes
offering course at the UG level.
 Shortage of resources, facilities and grants.
 Coping with the dynamic changes in the society’s expectations
(parents’ expectation etc.)
