The Affiliating University creates the curriculum, and the College successfully develops, implements, and
provides the programme. The college offers 18 Undergraduate, 9 Postgraduate, 7 M.Phil., 1 Ph.D., 55
Certificate Courses, and 39 Value-Added Courses. In order to emphasize the responsibility of instilling
admirable value systems among students, 51 courses in the curriculum directly and indirectly incorporate cross
cutting topics pertinent to professional ethics, gender, human values, environment, and sustainability. The
curriculum includes internships, industrial projects, assignments, and seminars which help to provide
experiential knowledge among the students.
In addition, the institution offers 94 Certificate Courses, including Value-Added categories related to skill

Institutional preparedness for NEP
1. Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary: In both academic and co-curricular activities,
Bharathiyar Arts and Science College for Women has
always aimed for a multidisciplinary approach.
Students are encouraged to participate in minor/major
projects that are multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary in
nature by forming teams from various courses.
Students are also enthusiastic to establish teams of
students from diverse fields to compete in activities.
2. Academic bank of credits (ABC): We motivate our students to attend online courses via
national schemes such as SWAYAM, NPTEL, and
others, and credits gained against elective courses are
being considered. Curriculum revision has begun for
Page 18/105 24-06-2022 02:28:43

19. Self Study Report of BHARATHIYAR ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
the academic year 2021-2022. These changes will
affect students starting in the 2021-22 academic year.
We are working on a technology that will allow us to
do ABC in its real spirit.
3. Skill development: Through Bharathiyar farm, we provide training to
farmers on modern agricultural techniques. Farmers
and aspiring candidates are interested in studying the
most up-to-date farming techniques, such as Organic
Farming and Terrace Gardening. Mini projects, in
which students identify their skills to manufacture
certain items and understand the topics through
experiential learning, are currently being offered to
students. We are also planning for skill-based
certificate courses for dropout students from outside
which will train them in specialized skills.
4. Appropriate integration of Indian Knowledge
system (teaching in Indian Language, culture, using
online course):
Knowledge from ancient India to current India will
be included in the Indian Knowledge System, as well
as a clear sense of India's future aspirations in
education, health and the environment. In the coming
years, we plan to provide more training and awarding
of certificates in Indian Knowledge System to our
students.
5. Focus on Outcome based education (OBE): On our website and in prominent areas throughout
the departments, we have clearly defined Program
Outcomes (PO), Program Educational Outcomes
(PEO), and Course Outcomes (CO). The OBE
achievement model is used to evaluate students.
6. Distance education/online education: With the imposition of lockdown across the country
owing to the spread of coronavirus since March 2020,
online classes have become the 'new normal' and
have taken center stage in students' lives. This 'new
normal' is a reformed educational model, with online
learning at its heart. Students can attend classes from
any location of their choice and colleges can reach
out to a large network of students instead of being
limited by physical limits. Students can clear up their
doubts by participating in live conversations or
forums from the comfort and safety of their home. On
the positive note, online learning has improved the
technological literacy of both faculty members and
students. During lockdown, a variety of mobile phone
and computer applications and technology-based
programmes have emerged as an alternative to
traditional classroom instruction. Computers and
smartphones were quickly adopted by both the
Page 19/105 24-06-2022 02:28:44

instructor and the student communities. On the other
hand, while we all recognize India's physical and
cultural diversity, it also suffers from a significant
economic disparity. Due to several constraints such
as power supply, internet connectivity, and price of
necessary gadgets, access to online education remains
a struggle for many. To address these challenges, an
institutional level plan that is both robust and
comprehensive is required. In the middle of the
pandemic's chaos, online education has emerged as a
viable option. It has evolved into a need rather than a
choice. As a result, improving the quality of online
teaching–learning is critical. EdTech start-ups are
quickly gaining traction in the online education
market, with the goal of disrupting the industry.
During this crisis, many of them are seizing every
opportunity by providing free online courses to
students.

Response:
Each student is assisted in recognizing herself as a unique, capable, and respected member of a
diverse community that promotes tolerance and harmony in cultural, regional, linguistic, communal
socioeconomic and other activities. The University has made a concerted effort to keep the campus clean.
Furthermore, regardless of Race, Creed, Religion, or Geography, the College gives students with equal
opportunity in a variety of activities. The College has established a student code of ethics as well as a code
of ethics for Teaching and Non-Teaching Faculty Members.
Regardless of Cultural, Geographical, Linguistic, Communal Socioeconomic, or other differences,
they adhere to these ethics. Students are not divided into groups based on their ethnic backgrounds. Sports
and Cultural events at the College are designed to bring students together. We mark significant days like
Women's Day and Yoga Day, as well as numerous regional festivals like New Year, Pongal, Ramzan,
Christmas, and Diwali, in order to foster positive interactions among students of all races and cultures.
The Student Grievance Redressal Cell and the Anti-ragging Cell are both active in dealing with
student difficulties, regardless of cultural background. The Anti-ragging organization is crucial in
encouraging student tolerance and harmony. The lack of ragging suggests that the cell is functioning
properly.

opportunities to socially disadvantaged students, such as ST/SC/OBC/Minorities.

7.2 Best Practices
7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual.
Response:
BEST PRACTICE-1
Title of the Practice: Bursary (Financial Aid) to the Deserving Students.
Objectives of the Practice
Every year, the college provides a significant amount of financial aid with the goal of providing financial
and other assistance to needy and deserving students. As a result, the primary goals of this practice are
1.To provide financial aid to financially weak students in order to prevent them from dropping out of
their studies.
2.Providing financial help in the form of cash prizes to students from low-income families and other
needy students in order to motivate them.
3.To instill in students the ideals of 'generosity' and a ‘sense of social responsibility.’
The Context
The goal of the college is to provide scholarships and financial aid to deserving students. College has
a substantial endowment, allowing it to continue this practice indefinitely. The goal is to ensure that no
meritorious student is denied admission to any professional course due to financial constraints. The college
Page 97/105 24-06-2022 02:28:46

98. Self Study Report of BHARATHIYAR ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
has a Student Welfare Committee that assists needy students in applying for different State and Central
Government Scholarships for students from various reserve categories as well as the economically
disadvantaged.
Scholar students, all-rounders, Sports persons, students who participate in intercollegiate, State, and
National Level Competitions, students who participate in research based activities, and those who are
active in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are all given special attention by the college. At every
level college not only gives financial assistance to students, but also ensures that they receive the most
benefits and learning outcomes possible during their course work.
The Practice
The Management of this college has actively supported students from low-income backgrounds
since its inception. The College has made a firm commitment to provide all feasible financial assistance to
deserving and needy students, allowing them to pursue their long-held desire of obtaining a higher
education. The College's goal is to help the poor and needy while also rewarding students who achieve in
academics, co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, extension activities, and sports. The College
has formed different associations to help students develop their character and personalities. These
associations organize extracurricular activities that support our academic values.
A well constituted committee of faculty members, with the support of students, identifies the
financially needy and worthy students. As previously stated, financial aid is granted depending on the
students' need and performance. After appropriate verification of documented evidence and strict
adherence to the rules created for the purpose, the committee finalizes the list of qualified students for aid.
Taking inspiration from the institution's vision and goal, as well as its long history of pro-student attitudes
and actions, the college pays the tuition and examination fees of regular and meritorious students who are
unable to pay due to financial hardship.
Students are informed through notices posted on notice boards and distributed in class. A dedicated
committee for students' welfare is formed to assist them in obtaining various forms of State and
Central government scholarship programs. Students who are experiencing difficulties can approach the
concerned convener, and the concerns will be resolved to the best of their abilities.
Apart from providing scholarships to the needy and impoverished, the college works hard to push
students to achieve academic success. To help students develop holistically, the college encourages them to
participate in extension, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities. Students are recognized on the
college's Annual Day, and special Annual Day Prize Distribution Programs are conducted to distribute all
the prizes to the students.
Evidence of Success:
Every academic year, significant Prizes and Scholarships have been instituted to encourage students
to achieve in academics, sports, and cultural activities, instill a spirit of healthy competition, and inculcate
habits of discipline and regularity.
1.Scholarships and Freeships to Needy, Meritorious, and Extraordinary Students: All qualifying
students receive a scholarship according to government standards.
2.Their scholarships are directly deposited into their bank accounts after the beneficiary students'
Page 98/105 24-06-2022 02:28:46

99. Self Study Report of BHARATHIYAR ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
bank account information is obtained.
3.A scholarship committee made up of senior college faculty has been formed.
4.After proper verification of the documentary proof enclosed and strict adherence to the standards
created for the purpose, the committee finalizes the list of qualified students for the Scholarship and
sends it to Management for approval.
5.When students graduate and are intellectually prepared to apply for jobs, the entire scholarship
program becomes a fruitful activity.
6.The college is located in a low-income neighborhood. The majority of students do not have
sufficient financial resources to pursue higher education, which increases the likelihood of students
dropping out. Students can apply for a variety of scholarships based on their qualifications and
financial situation.
7.The facility is extended to needy, meritorious, and differently abled students in accordance with the
College's mission of raising the educational level of girls from the lower and middle classes, as well
as the minority class, in order to assist them in achieving their goals, becoming self-reliant,
economically independent, and carving a niche for themselves in society.
8.The scholarship is given to students based on their need and merit. After a committee determines
that the student is deserving of a scholarship, the student applies for the scholarship and explains
why he or she needs money.
9.To make the scholarship decision process easier, scholarship program platforms leverage data from
student information systems.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
1.Although the College Management gives a substantial amount of financial aid to students each
year, it may be increased if funds from various government agencies are generously received.
2.It can be tough to spot needy students from the impoverished and needy classes.
3.Many students are unable to present proof of income in order to qualify for an economic backward
class scholarship.
4.Scholarships offered to scholar students in an inflationary era are relatively minimal, and there is a
need to enhance the corpus money to provide additional aid.
BEST PRACTICE-2
Title of the Practice: PLACEMENT- A BENCHMARK OF NICHE
Objectives of the Practice
An academic monitoring committee and placement cell have been established with the following aims
to improve the quality of education provided and improve placement chances for graduating students:
1.To ensure that the teaching-learning process is student-centered and that the curriculum is
associated with industry demands
2.To ensure that students work on projects that are both technically challenging and socially relevant.
3.Soft skills training can be used to assist students build confidence.
4.To teach students how to answer aptitude exams in a reasonable timeframe.
5.To prepare students for various stages of the selection process, including group discussions and one-

Page 99/105 24-06-2022 02:28:46

100. Self Study Report of BHARATHIYAR ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
The Context
The majority of students in our country are showing an interest in pursuing education, and the trend has not
tapered off. The abundance of employment opportunities available to graduating students is one of the key
reasons behind this trend. With so many government, private, and deemed to be universities delivering
education, it is critical that an institution provide state-of-the-art education while focusing on R&D
activities and brand promotion in order to be regarded as an elite institution by students and peers. Any
institution that does not consistently focus on these factors will be relegated to the average institution
category over a very short period of time.
Knowing this, our Management is inspiring and incentivizing the Faculty Members and
administration to achieve this difficult but attainable goal.
The Practice
The quality of education provided is improved by annual curriculum revisions. Technical experts are
brought in to teach a portion of a few select courses in various fields. Academics Development Programs
and Workshops are held to help Faculty Members and staff improves their domain expertise.
Evidence of Success
A dedicated ,training and placement cell has been established to improve the quality and
quantity of student placement The Placement Cell collaborates closely with the Departmental Heads and
Placement Coordinators to ensure that reputable industries connected with various departments are invited
to visit the campus for recruitment. Soft skill training is incorporated into academic activities from the first
year to ensure that all students have the requisite skill sets to participate in campus recruitment activities.
Students who are eligible for campus recruiting receive intensive placement training.
The gradual increase in the number of organizations visiting the campus for recruitment purposes is
a powerful testimony to the efforts made by the college management to achieve the above-mentioned
goals.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
1.Encouraging faculty and students to adopt new teaching-learning approaches. Motivating Faculty
Members to apply for research funds from funding organizations.

5. CONCLUSION
Additional Information :
I Startups (EDC) Incubation Centre
The students are largely from rural areas, and many entrepreneurs have arisen as a result of the college's
development of an Institutional Incubation Centre (IIC) and an Entrepreneur Development Cell (EDC). The
approval of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has also opened doors for many. In turn, the
college helps graduates with their businesses by aiding them with bank loans, field surveys, business
consulting, human resources, and other requirements as and when necessary.
II E-Governance (e-Gate)
As an alternative to traditional classroom teaching-learning, students and professors have turned to online
classes in the wake of the pandemic. The virtual classroom has benefited from the implementation of e-
governance (e-gate). Staff members updated the e-contents, course files, PowerPoint presentations and study
materials on a regular basis according to their timetables, allowing students and staff to view and download
them from anywhere and at any time via their registered e-governance site. It also allows for online
examinations. Students download the question papers according to the exam schedule and submit the answer
scripts on the same portal for online evaluation by faculty members. This is a fresh idea to pursue. This offers a
