1.2 Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Challenges(SWOC)

Institutional Strength
A conducive academic environment with a clean and well-maintained campus with modern
infrastructure facilities, and a positive and supportive atmosphere where students can focus on learning.
The Management of the college takes a proactive approach to ensure all-round development of its
students, both academically and in terms of infrastructure.
The college is in the heart of the city which has given it a tremendous locational advantage.
Our unique philosophy of education is designed to enable students to become independent thinkers and
doers, better equipped to face the challenges of life.
A culturally diversified student community that promotes cultural and societal moral ideals.
A highly experienced and conscientious faculty adds to the academic atmosphere.
Continuous evaluation of pupils through class tests/CIAs and assignments/presentations aids in identifyi
ng slow learners for remedial interventions.
Healthy campus life, with no ragging or other activities that are detrimental to the academic goals of the
students
The Knowledge Resource Centre (KRC), or library, plays a crucial role in supporting academic pursuits
and research activities. Utilizing e-management techniques can enhance resource utilization and make
information more accessible to users. There is an user-friendly website for the KRC with well-organised
sections, including separate sections for question papers, e-resources, SWAYAM (Study Webs of
Active Learning for Young Aspiring Minds), UGC MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses), NPTEL
(National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning), JSTOR, PEARSON E-LIBRARY, and
faculty repository.

State of the Art facilities for sports, auditorium, theatre hall & modernized refreshment area.
For the effective teaching and learning the college continuously upgrades the laboratory and other
infrastructural amenities.
Students are very much involved in the curricular and co-curricular activities to develop their analytical
aptitude.
Active mentoring of students is practised on a regular basis which is crucial for their academic and
personal development.
An active placement cell provides a series of soft skill development courses that focus on the
employability of the students.
Institutional Weakness
Page 4/86 17-08-2023 10:04:07

Being an urban college, there is problem associated with limitation of available space in the main
campus.
Absence of an open sports field within the campus for the students.
The College being an affiliated college of the University of Calcutta follows the curriculum devised by
the University. As a result, the department has no flexibility in curriculum design and delivery.
The student teacher ratio needs to be improved.
More add on courses with scope of employability need to be introduced to boost employbility of the
students.
Institutional Opportunity
The college is channelising fund to acquire buildings to overcome the challege of paucity of space.
Initiating outreach programs in remote areas through the National Service Scheme (NSS) unit can be an
effective way to address community needs and make a positive impact.
Fostering interdisciplinary collaborations by organising seminars, conferences, and workshops where
researchers from different disciplines can exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of online teaching and learning methods, leading
to the introduction of digital learning and use of tools like G-Suite for Education. This shift has
provided opportunities to reimagine and enhance the teaching, learning, and evaluation processes.
The college has the opportunity to develop more linkages with the government, industry, and NGOs for
fostering outreach programs, providing employment opportunities to students, and introducing job-
oriented and skill development courses.
Opportunities to conduct more UG and PG courses.
Institutional Challenge
The non flexibility of the curriculum, being an affiliated college, curbs the freedom of the institution.
Dearth of parking space in the campus.
Inadequate space for outdoor games within the campus.
Absence of a hostel within the campus for students from other cities and states.
Plants and folliages are limited due to lack of open space, hence the carbon footprint is high.
Completing the syllabus satisfactorily within a limited period under the Choice-Based Credit System
(CBCS) is a major challenge for the faculty.
More energy-efficient installations are needed to reduce the carbon footprint, being an urban college.

Institutional preparedness for NEP
Page 19/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

1. Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary: The National Education Policy is the vision for the

future of India’s education. The policy emphasises
providing quality education to equip students with the
necessary skills and competencies to become
qualified global citizens. In order to facilitate the
incorporation of the ideas propounded by the NEP,
the college organised discussions among the faculty
members on key principles such as diversity, equal
access, holistic development, and assessment reforms
as laid out in the NEP. The college is already focused
on the key principles of the NEP, such as diversity
for all and student-centered learning. We are
affiliated with the University of Calcutta, and our
students get access to the latest courses designed to
give them an edge in their chosen field. The Choice-
Based Credit System (CBCS) has been implemented
since the 2017–2018 academic year. The college
proposes to introduce more subject combination
choices for the humanities and science programmes.
Implementing an interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary approach will help the students
make an informed decision on their educational path
and is likely to improve academic performance,
increase job satisfaction, and enhance career
prospects.
2. Academic bank of credits (ABC): The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is an

innovative solution that helps students navigate the
complexities of college course credits. ABC enables
the integration of courses offered by contiguous
colleges and universities, allowing students to
explore combinations and find the best fit for their
academic needs. With ABC, students can save time
and money by transferring credits between
institutions without losing credit quality. Aiming to
meet the new ABC regulation, our institution is
enabling blended learning and helping students earn
credits from various registered Higher Education
Institutions (HEIs) through SWAYAM. Our goal is
to make college more accessible for all students
under the directives of the affiliating university.
3. Skill development: The college’s core principle is to make the students

future-ready and competent for emerging
opportunities. The BESC already offers fourteen
short-term courses (Career Connect) aimed at
providing students with an opportunity to embrace a
culture of inclusive learning and to provide students
Page 20/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

with necessary skills outside the classroom through

interactive sessions with industry experts and hands-
on training through industry visits, so their transition
from campus to the workplace is seamless.
Experienced faculty, industry experts’ mentorship,
and tailored programmes give students the
opportunity to develop proficiency in domains that
are needed as qualified members of the workforce
and/or to enter the world of entrepreneurship with
confidence.
4. Appropriate integration of Indian Knowledge Embracing Indian arts and culture in our academic
system (teaching in Indian Language, culture, using practises is a great way to discover, celebrate, and
online course): promote them. The English language is used for
curriculum delivery; however, the teachers are
equipped to deliver in vernaculars like Hindi and
Bengali if needed, which help strengthen the national
identity and benefit students by providing them with
an immersive learning experience. Gujarati language
lessons are offered to the Gujarati-speaking students
to deepen their appreciation and understanding of the
language and to respect and honour the Gujarati
cultural heritage. The Bengali language is offered as
a programme in the Humanities Programme to attract
the local Bengali-speaking community. With the rise
of globalisation, it is imperative to preserve a
country's cultural heritage; hence, our college
celebrates Matri Bhasha Divas and Hindi Divas to
promote India's rich culture, language, and heritage.
5. Focus on Outcome based education (OBE): Our college is committed to providing our students
with a student-centric education system. The college
caters to the curriculum needs of students, while also
addressing any teaching and learning-related issues.
Skilled faculty and state-of-the-art resources ensure
excellence in the educational journey of the students.
Outcome Based Education is designed to ensure that
students receive the best possible education and
achieve the highest levels of success. The Programme
Outcome, Course Outcomes for all programmes are
uploaded in the website and sensitized to the
students. The teaching and learning are aligned with
the latest knowledge requirements and specified
learning outcomes. The college conducts continuous
formative assessments to monitor the progress of the
students and ensure that the learners are receiving
quality education. Our college has taken great steps
to supplement the curriculum prescribed by the
affiliating University. We have introduced multiple
Page 21/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

add on courses to help the students acquire cognitive,

employable and socially useful skills.
6. Distance education/online education: With the onset of the pandemic, our college was
quick to adopt the best practises of ICT, allowing a
quick and smooth transition to a fully online
platform. G Suite provided an interactive and
engaging learning environment for students. Through
this comprehensive digital platform, students were
provided with online study materials, digital
repositories, and online examination tools. The online
mode of teaching and learning is still continuing with
the use of Google Classrooms by teachers and
students. With cutting-edge technology and
experienced faculty, the college ensures a blended
mode of education for the students.

Criterion 1 - Curricular Aspects
1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation

1.1.1
The Institution ensures effective curriculum planning and delivery through a well-planned and
documented process including Academic calendar and conduct of continuous internal Assessment
Response:
The Bhawanipur Education Society College is affiliated to the University of Calcutta and follows the
curriculum designed and prescribed by the University for all the courses that it offers. The institution
adopts all possible measures for the effective implementation of the curriculum such as:
Planning for Curriculum Delivery
The Academic Calendar with details of class commencement and examination dates is prepared
annually by the college in adherence to the University Calendar. Meetings are held in each
department for the allocation of syllabus and classes to faculty members. At the beginning of each
semester, faculty members prepare semester-wise teaching plan called Unitisation to enable
meticulous completion of syllabus. Utmost priority is given to the compliance of course
curriculum. Each department prepares a timetable before the commencement of each semester
which is provided to the students along with the academic calendar to inform them about the
timeline of the curriculum delivery. The IQAC ensures effective and coordinated curriculum
delivery by reviewing reports from the concerned committees during its routine meetings.
Mechanism for Effective Curriculum Delivery
Teachers adopt different models of curriculum delivery, from the chalk and talk methods to ICT
enabled systems. Departments are encouraged to implement innovative teaching-learning
methods, including group discussions and interactive learning. Teachers involve students in
experimental and participative learning through field visit, industry visit, presentation of projects
and internship programmes. Invited lectures by subject experts, seminars, and workshops are
arranged by the respective departments with the support of the college. Research is encouraged so
that students and teachers can update their knowledge. Infrastructural facilities such as
laboratories and libraries are regularly upgraded for effective curriculum delivery. Access to an
excellent well-equipped library with digital resources, free Wi-Fi, and internet-connected
computers aids in a comprehensive implementation of curriculum. The syllabus and previous
years’ question papers are made available in the library repository. Regular Internal Assessments
are conducted to effectively engage students with the curriculum, assess their academic progress
and identify areas of improvement. Remedial classes are arranged for the slow learners. Teachers
are assigned as mentors to students to address their academic and personal concerns. Apart from
the degree courses, the college also offers some career-oriented foundation and certificate courses
Page 26/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

like Digital Marketing, Corporate Communication et al.
Special Initiatives During the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 Pandemic session (2020-2021), regular classes were held as per routine
through online lectures and uploading of study materials through student-friendly platforms such
as Google Classrooms, Zoom and so on. Well-planned departmental routines and department-
wise compiled class-taken reports enabled effective implementation of curriculum in an effective
manner despite challenging circumstances. The academic year 2021-2022 saw different modes of
classes (online/hybrid/offline). The infrastructure was arranged in such a manner that online and
offline classes could be held simultaneously and syllabus could be completed without any
disruption. The Omicron wave in January 2022 once again led to the complete online mode of
teaching and examination. The college was reopened from February 2022 for all students
witnessing a successful comingling of conventional and pandemic-learned pedagogical methods.

2.3 Teaching- Learning Process

2.3.1
Student centric methods, such as experiential learning, participative learning and problem solving
methodologies are used for enhancing learning experiences using ICT tools
Response:
In today’s teaching-learning scenario, ICT is often perceived as a catalyst for change- change in teaching
styles, learning approaches and access to information. ICT has altered and revolutionised conventional
ways of learning and proposes the need to re-think education with reference to the current context.
The Bhawanipur Education Society College endeavors to offer its students state-of-the-art infrastructure
for an enhanced teaching learning experience. Use of ICT tools is one such earnest attempt to achieve
improved classroom experience and efficient learning. The college encourages students to use ICT
enabled tools, thereby preparing them for confident participation in a technologically advancing modern
society. Assisting them in finding, developing, analysing and presenting information, ICT enables them
to not only access ideas and experiences from a wide range of people, communities and cultures but also
allows them to collaborate and exchange information on a wide scale.
Minimizing the traditional chalk and talk method, teachers and students of the college, participate in an
experiential teaching-learning processes. The tools that are extensively used are-
Page 31/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

Google meet (for online or special classes), Google Jam Board YouTube Lectures (for reference
and learning) Zoom meetings (for workshops and special lectures) PPT
Use of such tools makes learning more student centric and effective. Because the use of different
information communication technologies has become inevitable for students in learning, the focus on
cultivating usage of ICT has gained centre stage at the college. There is a persistent attempt to create an e-
learning environment and therefore the college houses
classrooms with well-equipped smart boards
overhead projectors, audio visual facilities, computer furnished knowledge resource center and
other requisite ICT tools.
In addition, the faculty members avail high speed Wi-Fi provided by the college. Pearson e-library was
also made available to faculty members during the lockdown to facilitate reference work. Other online
resources that students can access include
JSTOR resources N-List, E-Lab and Virtual Labs, DIKSHA, Sakshat, e-PG Paathsala
The college has also purchased G-suit for efficient teaching learning and communication. All teachers
and students have institutional email addresses and unlimited drive space to assist them in teaching,
learning, archiving and communicating.
The college encourages teachers to participate in various workshops and Faculty Development Programs
to upgrade their technical skills. During the pandemic and the unprecedented lockdown, the college had
arranged a workshop with Mr. Leslie De Gama to update teachers ‘technical know- how' in handling
Google classroom. Teachers were divided into small batches and trained constructively in the use of the
different features of extended online training and effective use of ICT tools.
Microsoft whiteboards, OBS Studio, Canva and Power Point are also often used to complement class
lectures and classroom teaching. Today’s classrooms are full of young minds who are technologically
conscious so, using a combination of ICT enabled learning resources alongside the traditional
blackboard, the college facilitates better learning opportunities for students. ICT tools have therefore
been woven into the very fabric of educational transaction in the college as a measure to augment
experiential learning.

2.5.1
Mechanism of internal/ external assessment is transparent and the grievance redressal system is
time- bound and efficient
Page 33/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

Response:
It is imperative that students are continuously evaluated. It serves several purposes, all aimed at students'
academic success. It allows teachers to stay informed about the progress of students and their
comprehension of the various sections of the syllabus.
The evaluation process also ensures that students are prepared well in advance for the end-semester
examination. The internal assessment conducted by the college is based on the guidelines provided by the
University of Calcutta. Teachers specifically apprise students of the portion that is to be studied for the
upcoming internal assessments. Notifications regarding the internal assessment procedure and dates are
circulated well in advance in class and through mentoring classrooms and WhatsApp groups.
Each department individually works out the details of how the assessment is to be conducted for the
courses, ensuring that the course outcomes and learning objectives of each paper are thoroughly
achieved. Different assignments are specially designed such that they not only test the knowledge base of
the students but also prepare them for time management and subject clarity during End Semester
examinations.
In accordance to the CBCS system, internal examinations are held once each semester for each core
course to assess learning outcomes. The college conducts such examinations each semester before the
University End Semester Evaluation. The marks are shared with the university based on which the
student’s SGPA is calculated. University-mandated internal assessments; tutorial/practical are conducted
at the end of each semester within the stipulated time as prescribed by the University of Calcutta. These
marks are uploaded confidentially on the university portal, and the same is not disclosed to the students
following university rules before the publication of the results.
Individual faculty members also take formative, summative assessments as and when applicable and
convenient. Re-tests are also conducted for students who fail to take such examinations owing to
unforeseen contingencies.
The college has an efficient and intricately crafted examination system for its CU internal assessment and
CIE (Continuous internal evaluation). An examination committee is formed to monitor the smooth
functioning of internal and external examinations. In order to maintain transparency and robustness,
individual departments, along with the examination committee, perform the following tasks:
Prepare question papers based on the syllabus, Undergoes a moderation process to eliminate all
possibilities of errors, Steer submission of answer scripts within the stipulated time, Address
doubts and queries of the students regarding their obtained marks by the concerned teacher,
Prepare a result analysis based on CIE and CIA. Provide doubt-clearing/ special/ remedial classes
to the students who need extra academic assistance (slow learners)
The institution also has a methodical feedback system for students during the examination season. A
detailed list of FAQs is uploaded to the college website along with helpline phone numbers of the
faculty. Teachers respond promptly to student questions, requests, grievances or difficulties. Examination
related Google forms are sent to the students' inboxes for time-bound responses to collect information or
feedback. During the online mode, the examination committee also provided alternate email addresses
Page 34/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

for script submission to combat technical lag or glitch. Students' queries/grievances are resolved
expeditiously and proficiently by the examination committee.
2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1
Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) for all Programmes offered by the
institution are stated and displayed on website and attainment of POs and COs are evaluated
Response:
The curricular structure provided by our college is learning-outcome driven and prioritizes the interests
of the students. It also cultivates in students critical thinking and knowledge application skills necessary
for both personal and professional development. In order to enhance the above skills all disciplines have
devised PO, CO and PSO solely dedicated towards students’ achievements. The mental health of
students is also given due importance and faculties across departments organise mentoring sessions on a
weekly basis during specified mentoring classes.
The College continuously assesses the achievement of student outcomes by offering remedial and bridge
classes wherever possible. Thus, outcome-based education specifically focuses on and plans everything
required for each student to effectively complete their educational programme. Departments evaluate
students' performance in University Examinations and keep track of students' transition to higher
education. Students who are placed in well-known industries are also documented. Students are
encouraged to engage in various skill development and capacity enhancement programmes.
Students’ feedback on teaching-learning system is assessed, analyzed, and deliberated by individual

faculties in the classroom and the IQAC of the college keeps an eye on each of these results with an
endeavour to strengthen and forge the College ahead.
The institution's unwavering dedication to POs, PSOs, and COs is demonstrated by its students'
outstanding performance in competitive exams like the Civil Services Exam, National Eligibility Test
(NET), the Common Admission Test (CAT) and Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), and
the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for higher education abroad, among others.
The college is in the process of establishing a structured methodology for evaluating the students’
attainment. The following steps are adopted which can be classified as Direct and Indirect methods for
assessing the attainment.
Direct methods
Page 35/86 17-08-2023 10:04:08

For nearly two years, all normal activities were affected by the global pandemic; the college was
compelled to organise many of these in a curtailed virtual mode from July 2020 to December 2021 with
live streaming of the events. But all the activities were conceived and executed with the sole motive of
highlighting the plurality and socio-cultural diversity of the country. “Bhasha Divas” is observed every
year to inculcate in our students a love and respect for their respective mother tongues, participated in by
both teachers and students through a multi-lingual program. Such exposure to the unique heritage of
other languages broadens the mental horizons of students who often take an interest in the riches of other
languages and literatures, beyond one’s own region.

collaboration with the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, plasma donation camps, RT-PCR sample
collection drives, distribution of Covid essentials, in collaboration with the Kolkata Police, along with
institutional financial aid for students who have lost the chief bread-earner of the family.

responsibilities through a code of ethics formulated in the wider interest of the community as a whole
and the various awareness-cum-activities like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Breast Cancer Awareness
lecture involving students. Programs are organised to popularize Yoga as an essential step towards
healthy living, to spread awareness of a clean environment through scientific methods of waste
disposal and the importance of saving water in the interests of posterity. A holistic approach is adopted
by the college so that a student is not only nurtured academically but is equipped with a lasting set of
values that would benefit personally and the community, as a whole.
7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1
Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual

Best Practice 01
Title of the Practice: Promotion of Research Culture
2. Objectives:
Page 72/86 17-08-2023 10:04:09

To provide the faculty members with college-sanctioned research grants. To initiate research
culture among the students. To ensure publication of research-based books by the college. To
provide to the faculty members a platform for exchange of ideas with other academicians through
College-sponsored seminars and workshops.
3. Context:
A college must facilitate a platform for attainment of balance between pedagogy and research.
Similarly, it must introduce its students to the culture of research through exposure to
interdisciplinary areas of knowledge.
With this aim, the College has taken multiple initiatives to inculcate a culture of research among
the students and teachers alike.
4. Practice:
The procedures which constituted the implementation of the practice are:
Department of Commerce organised a 7-days Workshop on ‘Research Methodology Course in

Social Sciences’ (9th October 2017-15th October 2017) in collaboration with The Institute of
Cost Accountants of India. The Research and Publication Cell was constituted in September 2018
where a framework for Research Proposals was finalized and a policy for College sponsored
Publication of books was formed. A two-day workshop on Critical Thinking was organised for
M.A. and M.Com. students in collaboration with Critical Thinking Academy, Bangalore on 21st
and 22nd February 2022. The College Management provided the Science section with highly
sophisticated instruments such as steady-state spectrophotometer and steady-state
spectrofluorimeter, and arranged for a well-equipped research laboratory for Dr. Pinki Saha
Sardar, Department of Chemistry - who is also a registered PhD guide under the University of
Calcutta. With a view to foster a 360-degree research environment, Peer-Students Seminars and
Peer Webinars by faculty were initiated by the Science Section and the Department of English,
respectively.
5. Evidence of Success:
Students and faculty from different colleges attended the Research Methodology Workshop. An
overwhelming response was seen to the Research and Publication Cell. This initiative was highly
appreciated by all subject experts from various Universities. The first Volume on a
multidisciplinary Project called ‘Gujaratis in Bengal’ – based on the findings of a research
initiated by the College, and also other research-based volumes such as ‘Cultural Gastros’, were
finalized for publication through the Research and Publication Cell. The research lab is used by
Dr. Saha Sardar to carry out her research work smoothly. More than 80 students from M.A. and
M.Com. registered for the Critical Thinking Workshop. Feedback forms were collected from the
participants and certificates were issued to them. Students’ Seminars are regularly conducted by
different departments. Students enthusiastically participate in these seminars and certificates are
issued to them by the College. Recordings of Peer Webinars are maintained by the Department of
English for a future archive. All the sections – Arts, Science and Commerce, and also some
departments have their own peer-reviewed Journals with ISSN. Platforms are provided to
Page 73/86 17-08-2023 10:04:09

showcase the skills and research aptitude of the students through students’ magazines and
students’ journals.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
The intensive nature of CBCS system leads to severe time constraints for students and teachers,
alike.
It is difficult to encourage students to participate in research endeavours as their focus is governed

by the system of regular examination-based evaluation.
Best Practice 02
Title: Adoption of new student-centric modes of teaching-learning and holistic development of

the students to suit the mode of higher education as advised by NEP 2020.
2. Objectives:
To ensure a continuation of dynamic teaching-learning techniques to make education interesting

and effective. To facilitate teachers with new models of curriculum delivery through introduction
to new modes of pedagogical approaches. To develop and inculcate at the institutional level, a
sustained culture of hybrid forms of teaching-learning as advised by the NEP 2020. To introduce
the students to emerging career options by training teachers as career guides.
2. Context :
COVID 19 had a debilitating impact on higher education. The online mode of teaching emerged as
the only option to ensure a continuation of education.
However, with a return to a new understanding of normalcy and in accordance with the guidelines
provided by NEP 2020, online education no longer remained simply a strategy to combat crisis; it
became essential to inculcate the hybrid mode of higher education through blended learning a sustained
part of the academic culture in order to maximize academic growth of the students.
4. The Practice:
The procedures which constituted the implementation of the practice are as follows:
The College facilitates training programmes for the teachers for effective and interesting online
techniques of curriculum delivery. The College acquired GSuite for Education and teachers were
provided with accounts to conduct online classes so as to enable creation of digital archives in
future. As part of character building and good citizenship exercises, the College organises several
outreach programmes through the NCC and NSS units. The College collaborates periodically
with UMMEED Counselling and Consulting Services to organise a faculty mentorship
programme for the teachers. 75 hours Mentoring and Counselling Skills Certification Training
was initiated as a sustained programme for the teachers by the College. In this programme, a
Page 74/86 17-08-2023 10:04:09

section of the faculty members, is regularly initiated into professional mentoring and counselling
skills.
5. Evidence of Success:
The evidence of success could be observed through the following:
The recordings of the webinars conducted on the College facilitated G Suite for Education
allowed an accumulation of interdisciplinary knowledge across the virtual platform, preparing the
College for compliance with the NEP 2020. Several departments in the college still continue to
maintain G Classrooms for their courses so as to upload reference materials for slow as well as
advanced learners, accessible by the students beyond the college hours. The outreach programmes
see enthusiastic participation from the students, enabling them to acquire an important milestone
in character building. The teachers attended the Mentoring Workshop in two batches through the
day. The batches of teachers who participated in the 75 hours Certification Training were able to
identify markers of depression, addiction and tendencies of self-harm.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
A return to offline classes on the campus necessitated a fine tuning of offline and virtual modes of
teaching-learning to accommodate the blended mode of curriculum delivery in compliance with the
NEP 2020.

Response:
The founding principle of The Bhawanipur Education Society College –
Page 75/86 17-08-2023 10:04:09

Vidyaamritamshnutey, recognizes the potential of education in transforming lives. The College therefore
is dedicated to the holistic development of the students throughout their tenure at the College.
Each year, at the beginning of the academic session, a Student Induction Programme known as the
Orientation Programme, is organised for the students by the institution. This Orientation Programme
serves as an initiation of the students into the system of higher education where they are introduced with
the College, the Course structures and the faculty. The students are introduced to the new environment
and provided with adequate exposure to the larger context through exploration of the various
programmes offered by the College in order to enable them to realize their actual potentials.
Orientation Programme has also been suggested in the Deeksharambh initiative prepared by the UGC in
2019. With the priority of the College embedded in the students - their well-being and overall
development, The Bhawanipur Education Society College has been conducting this practice of the
Orientation Programme as a part of the academic tradition of the College since over a decade.
The motto of the College is Education for Excellence which entails both academic proficiency and
acquiring of practical life skills, thereby focusing upon the overall development of the students.
In the spirit of this motto the different departments of the College endeavour to go beyond the curriculum
and expose students to courses and workshops familiarising them with the demands of the professional
world.
The College ensures holistic education and development of the students through the following measures:
The College follows a mentoring programme where the total number of students is divided
amongst the teachers in each Department so as to ascertain personal attention for each student
enrolled in a Course. This ensures that the students get complete attention and are adequately
nurtured so that they can attain their true potentials. Apart from the syllabi, Course
Outcomes and Programme Specific Outcomes are made available to the students so that they
may comprehend the larger purpose of the Course that they enroll for and understand the
structural components of the same. Well-known experts from various fields are invited regularly
to interact with the students and introduce them to the possible academic and professional
openings after completion of graduation. Advanced learners and weak students are identified and
separate exercises such as flipped classrooms and remedial classes are conducted as part of
regular teaching-learning process to facilitate academic growth for all the sections of students
alike. Seminars are held regularly on emerging fields like artificial intelligence, intellectual
property rights, digital accounting, etc. to keep students abreast of the latest developments
thereby ensuring that they remain in the front rank of their peers. Additionally, training is also
given in soft skills in order to enhance their communicative and interpersonal skills. In this
connection the issue of the mental well-being of the students is addressed by providing them
with the support of trained counselors from Umeed Counselling and Consulting Services
who hold workshops which address a larger number of students as well as teachers. Biweekly
counselling services by professional counsellors are made available to the students free of cost.
Strict confidentiality is maintained for these sessions. The College emphasizes experiential
learning. The College has links with prospective employers from its very inception and
encourages the spirit of entrepreneurship which had inspired its founders. The extracurricular
skills of the students are encouraged and brought to light by forming various Collectives which
showcase the talents of the students. These students represent the College at various competitions
Page 76/86 17-08-2023 10:04:09

at the intra- and inter-College levels and in the process acquire training and confidence. The scale
on which college festivals like Umang, Nexus, Communique, etc. are organised initiates the
students into essentials of growing up, such as organisational coordination, team work and
administrative abilities. The students who are members of the Collectives constituted for
organising these events acquire valuable experience in all these aspects of event management.
Apart from these, discipline specific initiatives like Assembly of Nations, Model United
Nations, The Bhawanipur Beacon, The Heritage Society and various Entrepreneurship Carnivals
are also efforts to expose the students to practical realities. The library internship programme
is a novel initiative introduced by the College which combines practical experience with
encouragement of library usage. Awards are also given to the best library users to inculcate
reading habit amongst the students. Faculty Exchange Programmes with other colleges with
which a MoU has been signed have been arranged very successfully, exposing the students of the
college to experts from other institutions. Despite the large number of students enrolled, the
college also organises field trips, excursions, and picnics from time to time. Adequate exposure
is arranged for the students through industry visits, internships and other such forms of learning.
Various social outreach programmes are organised by the College on a continuous basis so as
to sensitize the students and make them aware of their social responsibilities as educated citizens
of India. During COVID 19, the College organised continuous vaccination campaigns as part of
institutional social commitment and encouraged the students to actively participate in outreach
programmes to assist the socially underprivileged. The NCC cadets of the College donated blood
and plasma, and arranged for hospitalization, oxygen and injections as the second wave of
COVID reached its peak, resulting in an unprecedented medical crisis. In this manner, the
College ensures that the students become aware of their social duties and responsibilities.
Just as the Orientation Programme is organised for the students at the beginning of each session, the
College holds a Convocation Ceremony each year to recognize the outgoing batches and their academic
performance. A distinguished guest is invited to the Ceremony to share with the students their
experiences and insights. This day marks the completion of the academic journey of the students at the
College and is cherished by them as they step out into the world to make their mark as graduates from
The Bhawanipur Education Society College.
