PREFACE
Chandradhari Mithila College (Arts & Commerce), Darbhanga, popularly known as C. M.
College, was founded by a Citizens Committee consisting of distinguished dignitaries of
Darbhanga, with a vision to impart modern higher education to the citizen of Mithila
region. On 1st June 1938, when the college took its form, it had about a dozen or more
students and was situated in a private building in Laheriasarai. Today, it has nearly 12
buildings, one majestic multi-purpose hall, one boys-hostel, and nearly 6000 young boys
and girls striving to enhance their capabilities in order to ensure a better life chances. In
addition to the lustrous and green 4.5 acres where the college is located at present, it also
owns a 10 acres land in a scenic location which will be used for the implementation of
future development.
C M College is a Constituent College, under Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Darbhanga.
It has a 12 (B) and 2 (f) status since 1976. In the current academic year, the college is
offering 15 UG Programmes, 12 PG Programmes. The college also offers professional
courses like BBA and BCA, Certificate, Diploma, and Advance Diploma Courses in
Library & Information Science, Journalism and others courses. At present, there are 43
permanent faculty members in addition to a dozen of Guest Faculties engaging selffinanced courses. There are 52 support staffs working in different offices and departments.
The College has been involved in the preparation for its 1st cycle of accreditation for the
past one year. In 2005, it was though accredited and was awarded Grade: B++ by NAAC.
But, before elapsing the five year period it failed to move for its next cycle of assessment
and accreditation. As a result, we chose to move for a fresh cycle. In the meantime IQAC
of the College took initiatives for Academic Audit and the maiden Audit was completed
on 01 Nov 2013. Preparation of the SSR as well as the process of Academic Audit gave
us an occasion to introspect and identify our strengths and weaknesses. This journey of
reflecting on the foot prints left in the past five years or so has given us insights to
overcome our past weaknesses underlined by the Honble members of the last NAAC Peer
Team (see: Annexure-1), highlighted by NAAC in course of approving our IEQA (see:
Annexure-2) and very recently by the Academic Audit Team (Annexure-3). In this
backdrop, we have tried our best to realize the goal of actualising the potential of the
college through strong commitment and determined action.
Furthermore, I certify that the facts and figures incorporated in this self-study report at
different places are true and authentic, the evidences of which are available in the records
of the College. I am aware of the fact that the Peer Team will validate the information
provided in this SSR during the visit of Peer Team.

From the Side of Steering Committee

This report is the outcome of the team effort of the Members of the College
performing at different levels in the hierarchy. Systematically, we started this
intellectual journey almost one and half years back with the constitution of a FactFinding Team, the report of which later became the roadmap for preparing and
wording ourselves on the various facets of Institutional life. Needless to say, IQAC
has been the core of all our endeavours and activities. Over the long haul, today we
are in a position to present the report for the appraisal of our College.
The Principal of the College, Dr Shashi Bhushan Singh, has been sincere and
enthusiastic in the matters of academic and allied quality enhancement and also, in
the making of this report in its original spirit. The Committee wishes to thank him.
This Self Study Report could not have been finished and presented without the
valuable contributions of each one of us here at C M College. We extend our
heartfelt thanks to all of them.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Self-Study Report 2014 of C M College, Darbhanga, presents wide array of
evidences portraying the fact that the academic and administrative standard of the
College meets the desired level of quality. Organised around the seven criteria and
their different components, the SSR includes tables, graphs and charts. The
document is of 150 pages in length and can be accessed on the College web-site
(cmcollege.org).
The Executive Summary is based on the Self-Study Report. It presents synopsis of
each Criterion and Components attached therewith. Attempt has been made to
present an over-all picture of the present state of the College. As it is a summary of
the entire SSR, a person who wants to go into details or specifics may track it in
the main part of the present SSR.
CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1

Curriculum Planning and Implementation

The College has clearly stated mission, vision and objective statements which
guide and inform the life of the college. Essence of these statements is amply
reflected by the celebrated motto of the College: Tat-Twam-Asi. It underlines our
belief that there is no organic difference between teacher and student. One is a well
grow-up tree, while other is a seed having all potential for being a tree. What is
needed is a right kind of environment and careful nurturingto which we always
strive. The College has been very intentional about making its commitments
known to every stake-holder; they are found in all the activities and publications of
the college, like prospectus, magazine (Videh), and journal (Academia) of the
College.
The College has been constantly striving for academic quality enhancement.
Improvement in curriculum and learning methods are the two important
components of it. To accomplish it, the College has got a distinction of having a
well-functioning College Education Cell (CEC) as an apex body for academic
decisions and policy formulations. The IQAC of the College, through its regular
monitoring and evaluations, underlines nature of the required improvements in
these areas; and the CEC formulates Action Plans which is executed by different
Departmental Councils of the College. In the recent (i.e. 2013) exercise of
curriculum revision undertaken by L N Mithila University, almost every
department of our college has played crucial role. In fact, the Revised Syllabus of
Three Years Degree Course, which has been enforced from the current academic
session (i.e. 2014-15), is primarily based on the blue-print prepared by the
respective Departments of our College. Effective delivery of the curriculum is
ensured through Academic Planning mapped each year by the CEC and executed
at the Department level. We use Mid-Term Test of our students to judge the

effectiveness of our curricular delivery; and final University results are also
reviewed and deliberated in CEC and IQAC meeting to underline the improvement
needed.
1.2

Academic Flexibility

In addition to the thirteen traditional courses in social sciences, humanities, and

commerce; the College runs several skill development courses too, like BBA,
BCA (Proposed), Journalism, Library and Information Science, e-commerce, and
Creative Writing & Translation Course in English Language; and two enrichment
programmes in the form of Remedial Coaching, and Coaching for entry into
service for SC, ST, OBC & Minority . Of them, the last four skill development
courses are of Dual-Degree nature. As the Credit-Based Semester System has not
been introduced by our parent University as yet, hence we are restrained to offer
academic flexibility to our students only in a limited sense.
1.3

Curriculum Enrichment

In order to supplement the Universitys Curriculum to ensure that the academic

programmes and goals and objectives of the College are integrated we have
been trying to shift our focus from students teaching to their learning through
interactive teaching; making class room teaching more and more interesting
through appending lectures with real life problems, using differentiated
instructions for slow learners. To sensitize our students to issues like gender,
climate human rights etc. we have included all these issues in the General and
Environmental Studies paper, which is a compulsory paper for all the Degree III
students of BA and B Com programs. Besides, we organise time to time
workshops, seminars on these issues also.
1.4

Feedback System

In absence of a formal feedback mechanism placed by our parent university, we

have evolved our own mechanism under which we organise workshops and
discussions to take feedback on the curriculum issue from different stakeholders
of our society. In this line, different departments of our college have recently (in
mid 2013) organised workshops to take feedback on the changes in UG syllabus
proposed to be enforced from the Academic Session 2014-15. These workshops
were attended by teachers of the respective subjects from different colleges of the
locality. Some guardians also turned up to express their views on the issue. Blue
print of the proposed syllabus prepared by our teachers on the basis of these
feedbacks was by and large accepted by the University.
CRITERION II: TEACHING - LEARNING AND EVALUATION
2.1
Student Enrolment and Profile
The complete admission process of the college is highly transparent and
decentralised. The admission notices are displayed on the college notice boards

and Web-sites, local news papers, and local TV channels. Admission of UG and
PG conventional courses are done on merit basis, while in professional courses on
admission test consisting of written examination and viva-voce. Selection for UG
courses are done by the Admission Committee consisting of teachers of different
departments, while selection for admission in PG courses is made by the
respective University Department. Reservation Policy of the government is
strictly followed at all levels. Selection lists are displayed on the college notice
board and Web-site. The College has been sincerely pursuing the goal of
establishing and sustaining diversity, equity and inclusion in its student profile.
(Page: 11-15)
2.2

Catering to Student Diversity

The College has been sensitive to the reality of differing knowledge levels of
students coming from different backgrounds. In the beginning of each session we
have a practice of organising evaluative classes at the entry level to know the
differing requirements of students and use differentiated instructions to meet the
need of both advanced and slow-learners. Here these differentiated instructions
include designing course contents with higher as well as simple degree of
complexity. The performance of our students is subsequently analysed, on the basis
of data collected by the College Nodal Officer of NMEICT, by the Student Profile
Review Committee of the College and the required remedial measures are evolved
and undertaken by the College Education Council.(Page: 15-17)
2.3

Teaching-Learning Process

C M College has been known in Bihar for its commitment for quality teaching and
effective learning. Of late, we have been trying to make our teaching more and
more student-centric through interactive teaching shifting the style of our
classroom teaching from lecturing mode to discussion mode in which students are
encouraged to deliberate on the topic at hand both with their classmates as well as
with their teachers. Besides, assigning a common problem or project to a group of
students we try to inculcate collaborative learning among them too. In order to
offer opportunities to our students to explore various socio-economic issues in their
own way and express their views with arguments to substantiate them, we
frequently organise seminars, debates, and essay competitions in our college. All
this has been helpful in promoting critical thinking, creativity and scientific
temper among the students. Recently, we have been trying to encourage wider use
of modern technologies in teaching and learning processes through our Central
Computer Lab, Language Lab, N-LIST Programme of INFLIBNET, using
projector in class-room teaching. With a view to provide psycho-social supports
and guidance to our students, we have a well-functioning Mentorship System in
our College, in addition to the Counselling Cell.

Making improvement in teaching and learning a continuous process has been the
joint responsibility of the IQAC and CEC of our College. IQAC, through its FactFinding Committee, takes stock of the situation time to time. Its report (along with
its recommendation) is sent to the CEC for deliberation and future course of action.
Improvement measures resolved and recommended by the CEC is executed by the
Departmental Council. IQAC keeps watch on the whole execution process and
fallout effects. (Page: 18-23)
2.4

Teacher Quality

To enable our faculties to update themselves regularly with new ideas and
development in their respective field the College administration has been
instrumental in motivating them and liberally reliving the interested teachers from
the College duties, so that they may join such courses. For new branches of
teaching and learning, we hire the service of able and qualified guest faculties from
outside the College. In so far as research is concerned the College has put a fullfledged mechanism in place to promote research culture in the College. Under it,
the College Research Cell motivates and facilitates teachers in preparing research
projects and getting them approved by the UGC. To encourage publication of
research papers prepared by our faculty the College publishes a Research Journal
(ISSN 2321-9734) of its own in the name of Academia. (Page: 23-27)
2.5

Evaluation Process and Reforms

In Bihar, colleges are not at liberty to devise or decide their own examination and
evaluation process; rather it is decided by the parent university. At PG level we
have semester system with Continuous Assessment System (CIA); while at UG
level we follow annual system of examination. Provisions related with these
examinations are given in the University Regulation. We have mentioned these
provisions in nutshell in our College Prospectus also. In addition to these
provisions, we have devised our own mechanism of internal assessment in the form
of regular class-room tests and Mid-Term Test. This makes our evaluation process
both formative and summative. (Page: 27-30)
2.6

Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

In our College, students performance and learning outcomes are analysed both at
micro and macro levels. At micro level it is done by the mentors in a regular
manner, and at macro level it is performed by the duo of IQAC and CEC. We have
been trying to make our programmes more and more socially and economically
relevant through timely inclusion of pertinent issues in the courses of study,
assigning projects on such issues, organising seminars and debates. Our Placement
Cell is working on providing placement support to our students. (Page: 30-33)

CRITERION I I I : RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION

3.1

Promotion of Research

To promote research culture in our College, we have a College Research Cell.

Teachers of the different departments having research orientation are its members.
Principal, C M College is the Chairman of the Cell. In 2012-13, the Cell was
successful in procuring UGC grants for 06 proposals which are still in progress. In
2013-14 again, the Cell has forwarded about half a dozen fresh research proposals
prepared by our College teachers for approval of the UGC. To facilitate smooth
progress and implementation of research projects, we have a very rich library,
Central Computer Lab attached with internet, printer and copier facilities. We try
to keep teachers actively engaged in research work partially relieved from other
administrative assignments.
To promote scientific temper and research culture among students in our
classroom teaching we have been trying to make our classroom teaching more and
more case studies based so that practical applications of the theories and laws
taught in classrooms may be presented before them. In addition to it to equip our
students with proper research techniques we have included Research Methodology
as a compulsory paper in the courses of study of the different Departments. Before
the completion of courses both at UG (Professional Courses) and all of the PG
courses we have made a provision for compulsory Research Projects to be done
by the student as the part of their final examination.
In October 2014, we organised an Intra-University Workshop on Research
Methodology with view to develop research capacity among our faculty and
students. Our research journalAcademiahas been quite helpful in motivating
our faculty to undertake new projects and get them published. (Page: 33-36)
3.2

Resource Mobilization for Research

Research in our College is by and large financed by the external funding agencies
like UGC, ICHR and ICSSR. In Bihar, annual budget of different Colleges and
Universities is prepared just to seek grants from State Govt to finance recurring
salary expenditures of these institutions. This budget does not contain any separate
provision in the form of proposed annual expenditure on teaching or research.
3.3

Research Facilities

To promote research we have cooperative and collaborative faculties having wide

research experience, rich Library equipped with e-granthalaya and internet facility,
Centralised Computer Lab, Reading Room, subscription of N-List service of
INFLIBNET, research journals related with different subjects annually subscribed.
In future, we are committed to upgraded and enrich our Psychology Laboratory
further, purchase newly published reference books needed for research purposes,

10

subscribe more research journals, renew the N-list program subscription, digital
cataloguing of the books and journals available in the library, equip our Centralised
Computer Lab more facilities and arrange separate cabin for teachers and scholars.
(Page: 36-40)
3.4

Research Publications and Awards

C M College publishes a Peer Reviewed Research Journal in the name of Journal

of ACADEMIA -Journal of C M College. Senior Teachers of different
Departments of Our College having research experience constitute its Editorial
Board. It publishes only such research works cleared by our Peer Review Team.
Our publication policy clearly states that only such research papers will be
accepted for publication which has been authored by a qualified faculty of any
College holding not below the rank of Assistant Professor. (Page: 40-42)
3.5

Extension Activities and Institutional Social Responsibility

NSS Units of CM College have been actively involved in engaging students in

various social activities with a view to contribute the good citizenship and holistic
development of our students. For instance in 2013 our NSS units have actively
participated and conducted State Govts Cycle Yojana made for encouraging girls
students of village areas specifically belonging to underprivileged vulnerable
sections of the society. Under this program our 60 volunteers have been actively
engaged for 10 days in remote areas of Darbhanga district to make this drive
successful.
Besides, our NCC Units have also been instrument in this direction. Our Cadets
have been called upon by the District Administration for various social services
like managing the traffic post, handling the relief distribution in flood. In 2013 our
NCC Unit adopted a nearby village Shubhankarpur to generate awareness
among the people of the village against various social evils. It organised weekend
camps and Cadet visits to educate people about the various aspects of health and
hygiene in their daily life. Our Cadets mobilised local people particularly
housewives of the area to oppose alcoholism, illiteracy and evils like dowry.
To promote community network we have formal body in the form of Citizen
Forum composed of eminent scholars and social workers of the neighbourhood
locality. We have been inviting them time to time to give us feedback on our
functioning and performances, suggest measures to improve it. Their services have
been utilised time to time to maintain peace and communal harmony in the campus
area. (Page: 42-45)
3.6

Collaboration

For Industry-Institution-Interaction our Placement Cell has been quite instrumental

in recent years. This Cell includes leading local Entrepreneurs and business persons
who generously facilitate and contribute in placement services for our students.

11

Besides, utilizing our linkages with local enterprises, we have been arranging for
Summer-Training for our BBA and BCA Students. For this the College
administration contacts and facilitates the participation of our students in these
training at various industrial and commercial establishments. (Page: 45-47)

12

and equip six of our classrooms with necessary facility for deploying IT
equipments; to upgrade our Central Computer Lab for our faculty and students; to
digitalize our Library and our office work completely in the next two years time.
4.4
Maintenance of Campus Facilities
There is no technical person available in the College Service to do the calibration
and other precision works needed for the equipment and instrument available in
the College. College hires the service of outside agencies specialized in the
respective areas for this purpose and pay for their services. To ensure safe life of
the sensitive equipments installed in the College Campus we have powerful
voltage stabilizers and UPS attached with those equipments. For uninterrupted
drinking water supply for College Campus as well as Hostel there are RO System
installed in every Departments, Library, Principal Chamber and Hostel. Some of
these purifiers are attached with chillers also.
CRITERION V: STUDENT SUPPORT AND PROGRESSION

Student Mentoring and Support

With a view to provide academic, personal and psycho-social supports to our

students we have a multi-tier system under which we offer: (a) Academic Support
through organising interacting sessions in the beginning of each session; (b) to
provide Personal Support we have Mentorship System at each level; and (c) to
provide Career Support we have Career Counselling Cell. Besides, in order to
resolve issues pertaining to sexual harassment and ragging we have fully
functional Sexual Harassment Prevention Cell and Anti-Ragging Committee in
our College. To provide financial support to the needy students Various
Scholarships offered either by the State Govt or by the local Trust Fund running in

our students. We have ramp and wheel-chair facilities for physically challenged
students; and health centre for all of our employees and students.
5.1

Student Progression

Our student progression to higher education during the last four years has been
from UG to PG fifty to sixty percent; while from PG to Ph D has been ten to
fifteen percent. To facilitate our students progression to higher level of education
and employment we utilize the services of our Career & Counselling Cell and
Placement Cell. We provide special support to students who are at risk of failure
and drop out through the UGC sponsored Remedial Coaching and arranging
special classes for them. Our Mentorship System also contributes in this area.

13

5.2

Student Participation and Activities

Our students participate in wide range of sports and games like football, volleyball,
tennis, carom, chess, kabbaddi and others. In past they have won various prises and
appreciations in respectable number in different university, state and regional level
events. We have been organising annual cultural function on the eve of Bihar
Divas that provides our student to demonstrate their talent at home. To reflect their
view and aspirations we include two students in each of our Departmental
Councils.
CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
6.1

Institutional Vision and Leadership

The College has a clearly stated Vision and mission reiterating its age-old
commitment towards creating an enriched learning environment that empowers
students to transform their lives. We intend to foster intellectual growth,
aesthetic appreciation, and character development in our students. College
motto inscribed inside our emblemTat Tvam Asiemphasizes the same
conviction and commitment of ours.
Informed by our vision and mission, we have set out well-defined goals of:
Creating and maintaining academic excellence and equity in all branches of
teaching and learning; Enhancing faculty strength and effectiveness; Establishing
leadership in research at university and state levels; Improving organisational
effectiveness; Strengthening community engagement. To realise these goals we
have drafted a clear-cut action plan detailed on page: 66-74 of the main document
of our SSR. The IQAC and the CEC of the College work together, under the able
leadership of our Principal to effectively execute this action plan. Different
committees are also working in different areas promoting a participatory
development and collective sense.
6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment
Our Quality Policy clearly enunciates our resolve to ensure an enriched learning
environment, equitable and enabling education, and a culture of socially productive
research activities. To accomplish it the College has formulated a Perspective Plan
in the backdrop of the recently undertaken SOWT Analysis of the College. The
decision-making agencies of the College consisting of CEC, IQAC and
Departmental Councils, in addition to the different committees working in different
specific areas have already undertaken its execution in right earnest. We have
been engaging our different stake holders to give their feed-backs on this Plan. For
this, we are utilising different channels established by us like, Parent-TeacherStudents Meet, student members nominated in the Departmental Council,
Grievances and Suggestion Box installed in the Academic Bloc of the College, and
meeting with members of the local community.

14

6.3 Faculty Empowerment Strategies

To empower our faculty professionally we have been working on various levels,
such as liberally enabling our teachers to participate in Professional Development
Programs; organizing workshops to motivate our teachers to enhance their research
capabilities; reorganising our Central Computer Lab by shifting it in the teaching
block so that it should be easily accessible to all the teachers; Offering them a
regular channel for their research publication in the form of our journalAcademia.
With a view to enhance professional development among our non-teaching staff, we
have of late equipped our different sections of the office with computer and allied
items, and are in a process to train them up in a phased manner to handle all their
office works on computer.
6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization
We have been maintaining the norms of financial management and resource
mobilisation enunciated under the Universities of Bihar Act, 1976. Our financial
accounts have been regularly audited both by the internal team of our parent
University and a Chartered Accountant hired by the College for this purpose.
6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)
College does have an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). It was though
initially established in 2006 but for one reason or the other it became fully
functional since 2012. It has been constituted completely in line with the
requirements set out by the NAAC. It has been actively engaged in formulation,
institutionalisation and effective execution of the Quality Policy of the College.
Since 2013, we have maintained a practice of Academic Audit on annual basis.
IQAC and CEC of the College have been quite instrumental in all these
exercises.
CRITERIA VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 Environment Consciousness
To increase environment consciousness among our students, staff and the local
community we have adopted a multipronged programme comprising: (i) to
educate them about the bad factors that affect environment, (ii) to motivate them to
take measures to safeguard environment, and (iii) to put environmental concepts
into curricula.
7.2 Innovations
In academic interest we have undertaken several important innovative steps

15

reflecting our commitment towards our vision, mission and goals mentioned
earlier. For example: Constitution of College Education Council in 2011 for the
first time as apex academic planning and reviewing body at our College level;
adoption of Academic Audit process on annual basis; Publication of Peer
Reviewed Research Journal having ISSN; Constitution of College Research
Cell; Conducting mid-term test both at UG & PG level.
7.3 Best Practices
Introduction of Differentiated Teaching for Slow Learners, and strict adherence
of the College Dress Code have been the two important Best Practices undertaken
by our College in recent years.

The long drawn self-study process has been a valuable learning experience for the
faculty, students, and non-teaching members of C M College, Darbhanga. Led by a
dedicated Steering Committee, the College carefully considered its educational
programmes and services with particular attention on student learning and
achievement to determine how well the institution accomplishes its goals, fulfils
its mission, and meets the standards of the higher learning. The process of selfstudy confirmed both strengths and challenges in relation to the Criteria for
Accreditation and highlighted the continued work we must do to re-establish the
College as a nationally recognized leader in liberal and professional education.
Following this in-depth analysis, we are confident that the evidences provided is
sufficient to conclude that all Eligibility Requirements and Assumed Practices
have been met, and that the College has the capacity to join the elite club of A
category colleges of India.

16

SWOC Analysis
Our Strengths:
1. Being the oldest college of Mithilanchal Region, the College has a wellestablished and widely acknowledged reputation as the leading modern
college of Bihar, surpassing many older institutions in the region.
2. The biggest strength of C M College, as an institution, is its highly
qualified, experienced, and dedicated faculty who are highly involved in
their professional works.
3. We have high quality academic programmes at the undergraduate and
postgraduate levels.
4. Our Departments are strongly student centred and focused.
5. We have mentorship system in operation to support and encourage the
students.
6. One of the most important sources of our strength lies with the huge
strength of learners, particularly those belonging to the weaker sections of
the society (SC/ST/OBC/Minorities/Economically Backward) which stands
testimony to our social commitment and the important role this institution
is playing in social transformation in this officially declared educationally
backward area of Bihar.
7. The College is spread in an area of 13.91 acres, which reflects its huge
future expansion potentiality.
8. The College has produced a galaxy of learned persons who have made their
impact felt in different fieldsteaching, civil services, professional
services, politics and others. In near future, this may prove to be an
important source of support for the institution, as we are set to form an
Alumni Association here.
9. The College has a very rich library with number of books totalling almost
1.25 lakh and equipped with INFLIBNET Facility. Morning to evening
reading facility in the attached Reading Room.
Our Weaknesses:
1. Lack of competitive culture, due mainly to highly bureaucratic approach of
the University as well as the State Government.
2. Little academic and financial autonomy to the College.
3. Most of our courses are of traditional nature. In recent days, some of them
are gradually losing their charms.
4. Our curricula and course structure are quite rigid and do not carry much inbuilt flexibility. It lacks a credit accumulation and transfer system to enable
students to pursue opportunities for life-long learning and skill
development.
5. High student numbers makes it difficult to connect with students and retain
our student centred focus. Moreover, high student numbers means a diverse

17

student body with diverse needs and insufficient resources to address

students at both ends of the ability continuum.
6. Traditional class rooms compound our difficulty more. We are still using
chalkboards as a definitive component of the classrooms, as a result we
face chalk dust filling classrooms and chalk residue on our figure and in our
eyes.
7. Laboratories are ill equipped to support such a large number of students in
a meaningful way. Besides, apparatuses need to be updated so that students
may have an exposure of up-to-date facilities.
8. As no fresh appointment of teachers has been made since last 10 years,
hence the College is facing acute shortage of teachers.
9. Average age of our faculty is almost 50 years. Aging while adds
experience; it also generates a knowledge gap. In this computer age almost
90 percent of our teachers have no computer literacy. For their updation,
facilities need to be created urgently.
10. Supporting staffs lack proper training and motivation. They need proper
training to operate modern office equipments and to orient them towards
modern office management techniques.
11. Offices need to be equipped with computer networking and other modern
office equipments.
12. Our library is though quite rich, but most of our books are of old edition.
Visualising the ever growing number of enrolments in the College even
these old books are proving insufficient.
13. We lack proper student support system in the College. We dont have any
Counselling Centre in the campus to motivate and direct the students to
choose a right track; our Health Centre is not equipped to provide more that
first-aid facilities; the College as well as the University is totally unaware
of the very concept of some of the popular student support practices like,
Student Advocate, Career Centre, Campus Ministry and others.
Opportunities Visualised:
1. We have the opportunity to use our reputation for quality programming and
our geographic location to develop new programming opportunities and
new modes of delivery.
2. Changing demographics in the region and a growing population afford
opportunities for us in the form of assured large-scale demand for our
different programmes of learning.
3. On the supply side, recent changes in the attitude of the State Government
regarding liberal funding to the universities and colleges of Bihar, and the
approach of the UGC as well as the Central Government to fund the
institutions of higher learning under RUSA appear to provide us an
opportunity to restructure, strengthen and modernise our institutional
facilities and manpower.

18

4. Vocationalisation of education is the need of the day, if we want to lessen

the demand-supply mismatch of our higher education system. We, in C M
College, were feeling its need since long. Its quite heartening that the
newly framed RUSA has underlined such need and formulated a well
designed approach to implement it at higher education level. We feel it as
an opportunity to realise our dream.
5. If proper updation facilities are put in place, our faculty has definite
potential to excel both in teaching and research.
6. Being a premier college of Mithilanchal region the quality of students it
gets is far better than other institutions of the region. They can cope with
better and tougher courses. If properly fed, they can compete with students
of any corner of India.
Threats Envisioned:
1. Changing composition of our job market has reduced the number of
students wishing to pursue general education making it difficult to find
students for certain areas. Our exclusive preference for traditional subjects
is gradually eroding our relevance and attractions. We seem to focus on
education and dont spend much time worrying about whether or not our
students are prepared for a career. Our curriculum no longer reflects the
need of the industry. If vocationalisation is not adhered to, we are bound to
be rendered redundant.
2. Even in the case of most of the traditional subjects that we teach today,
courses have not changed for years. Shut off from revision and upgradation,
up against recently revised and expanded school syllabi, these antique
courses are pushing students into a time warp. At the end of the college
education, a cynical, disinterested, and completely disinterested youth
emerges. This sense of indifference on the part of university officials is
imperilling the education system as well as the society at large.
3. Today, a vicious circle has come to prevail in the higher education field.
Teachers set straight and conventional questions for university
examinations that a student can guess well in advance, they, therefore, need
to learn only selected five to seven questions instead of the whole syllabus,
and with such preparation they appear in examinations and usually get good
scores also. Teachers are happy as they now need to teach selectively,
students are happy as the need to prepare only selected questions,
university officials and state government are happy as examinations are
held peacefully and results have been declared timely. But, in all these
(mis-) deeds the very meaning of higher education is being sacrificed, for
which no one seems to be ready to give a serious thought. In such a
situation, students feel no need to attend their classes, as they can score
well even devoting a month time for such examinations. There is nothing
challenging in most of the university examinations. An honest comparison
of the question papers of CBSE +2 examinations and any of the university

19

4.

5.

6.

8.

examinations of Bihar can depict that even +2 questions demand more

ingenuity, intelligence and intensive study than our university papers!
The story does not end here. Recently the State Government has devised a
new formula to fund affiliated colleges of Bihar. They will get their fund on
the basis of results of their respective college. As a result, when they are
brought to evaluate papers, they seem have a tacit agreement among
themselves to mark liberally in general, so that, they or their fellow
teachers can get larger and larger fund. Hence, for their sheer survival they
are again sacrificing the very cause of the education in Bihar.
Bihar has recently formulated Private University Act, opening the scope for
private players entrance in the field of higher education. These universities
will have their own course-structure and fee-structure. If proper functional
and financial autonomy is not granted to us, in near future it will surely
amplify our problems related to our aging facility and will threaten our
competitiveness to maintain cutting edge research and deliver quality
programmes.
We have been primarily a teaching institution. Research has got low
priority in our scheme of things. But, funding pattern and reward system of
our higher education system is highly skewed towards research orientation.
This mismatch is posing serious threat to our professional progression and
fund-raising capacity of the institution.
Politically motivated decisions about introduction of new courses and
enrolment capacity therein, without keeping the required infrastructural
facilities and strength of the faculty in view, is proving a threat to the high
quality of our programmes and is negatively impacting our reputation as the
premier institution of the region as well.
Acute shortage of teachers is again jeopardizing our endeavour to impart
quality education. In 1982, total number of teachers working in our college
was 102 and today we have 43 teachers; while the enrolment has increased
from 4000 in 1982 to 6000 today. Some of the departments are finding very
hard to cope with the situation. For example, in History we have 1100
students against 2 teachers, in Hindi we have 3550 students against 4
teachers, in Commerce there are 2300 students against 9 teachers! Barring a
few, in most of the other popular subjects the situation is more or less the
same.

Catering to Student Diversity

2.2.1

How does the institution cater to the needs of differently- abled

students and ensure adherence to government policies in this
regard?
1. We have been trying to make our campus environment
more and more friendly for the Differently-Abled Students
(DAS) such as provision of ramp facility, availability of
wheel chair etc. (Braille facility in library may be inserted if
provision is made)
2. Separate Counselling session for differently-abled students
intended to acquaint them with the various financial and
non-financial facilities available for them.
3. With an intention to provide solid support to the
Differently-Abled students we have a practice of permitting
writer for Blind & other DASs in different examinations.

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.

51

Yes.
To assess the students needs in terms of knowledge and skills
we have a practice of conducting a few evaluatory classes at
Dept level in the beginning of every session.
2.2.3

What are the strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the

knowledge gap of the enrolled students (Bridge/Remedial/ Addon/Enrichment Courses, etc.) to enable them to cope with the
programme of their choice?
To bridge the knowledge gap of the enrolled students and to
enable them to cope with the requirements of the programme
chosen by them we a practice of imparting Differentiated
Instructions under which we conduct Special Classes based
on the readiness level and learning profile of our students so
that the gap can be bridged sufficiently.
For example(a) We have been conducting Remedial Coaching for SC, ST,
OBC& Deficient students of General Category.
(b) We have been conducting Special classes in Dept. like(i)
Commerce Students coming from Science stream
are given the fundamental concepts of Accounting
and other aspects of Commerce and Management.

2.2.4

(ii)

paper of Mathematical Economics which requires the
preliminary knowledge of Calculus, Algebra etc. In
order to bridge the knowledge gap related with these
mathematical tools the Dept conducts separate
special classes in every session at the time of
initiation.

(iii)

Likewise other Departments of the College also

conduct separate special classes for their students to
bridge the knowledge gap in their respective areas.

How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such
as gender, inclusion, environment etc.?
We try to sensitive our staff and students on these issues
through

52

1. Being a Co-education College and the presence of large

number of girls students in the campus itself reflect and
create a sense of gender equity and inclusion.
2. In addition to that, in order to cultivate higher degree of
sensitivity, we organise Debate, Essay Competition, Seminar
and assignments directed specifically to these issues.
3. Organising special camps through college units of NSS and
NCC in order to cultivate awareness among our students in
particular and society in general towards social inclusion
and environmental problems.
4. Displaying Govt Policies, Sayings of the eminent Persons,
motivational Quotations on these issues, Hoardings placed
by the college within the campus and outside campus.
2.2.5

How does the institution identify and respond to special

educational/learning needs of advanced learners?
1. We identify advanced learners through conducting
evaluatory classes in the very beginning of the session.
2. Our practice of conducting differentiated instructions helps
meet the special educational and learning requirements of
our advanced learners. Here these differentiated
instructions include designing course contents with higher
degree of complexity providing complex and open-ended
problems encouraging greater exploration of the concepts.

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. who
may discontinue their studies if some sort of support is not
provided)?
1. Collection of data related with the academic performance of
the students is conducted by the College Nodal officer of
NMEICT.
2. The said data is analysed and summary results are prepared
by the Student profile Review Committee to highlight

53

various dimensions of academic performance of the

students.
3. The said analysis is placed before the college Education
Council for Consideration and remedial measures.
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process
2.3.1

How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning and
evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan,
evaluation blue print, etc.)
1. Being a constituent unit, Academic Calendar is prepared at
the University level and we are required to follow it in toto.
2. At the beginning of every academic session the College
Education Council outlines, in its meeting, the broad
framework of the teaching schedule to be followed in the
session. This is done in light of the Academic Calendar
formulated by the University for the relevant session.
3. In this backdrop Departmental Council of the different
Departments chart out the portion of the syllabus to be
covered during the session. In this course the complete
syllabus both the UG &PG Courses is broadly divided into
two parts- one to be covered before the Mid-Term Test and
other after the Mid Term Test. Again each of these two
parts is segmented in different modules/units to be covered
in different months of the academic year.
4. The Departmental Council in its meetings held time to time
during the year monitors the progress actually made in the
period.
5. In so far as evaluation schedule is concerned:
(a) At UG level we organise Mid-Term Test mostly in the
month of Nov-Dec. This Test has been a unique feature
of our College.
(b) At PG level the Date of Internal Assessment is decided
by the parent University and we organise accordingly.

2.3.2

How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching learning

process?
With a view to improve the teaching learning process being
carried out in the college, the IQAC of the College firstly in
every section tries to take a stock of the situation. For this it
constitute time to time fact finding Committee comprising
teachers of the different Departments. The Report of the said
committee is put before the IQAC for its consideration.
Measures recommended by the IQAC for improvement in the
field of teaching and learning is forwarded to the College
Education Council (CEC) for deliberation and formulation of
future Course of action. The decision of the CEC is circulated
by the College Administration to the different Departments of
the college for its execution. IQAC monitors the complete
execution phase of the process. To make an objective evaluation
of our effort for academic improvement we organise Academic
Audit in every academic session through a set of experts
belonging to outside our University preferably those attached
with the accreditation process of the NAAC. For this purpose
the college has evolved a separate regulation duly approved by
the parent University. It is heartening for us to mention here
that our University is now asking other Colleges to follow the
Model of Academic Audit adopted by us. The said regulation is
being annexed herewith under Annexure No:- 6

2.3.3

How learning is 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?
Making teaching and learning studentscentric has been the
prime objective of C M College in recent years. This is amply
reflected in our college emblem and also in the Vision and
Mission of the College. For this we promote interactive learning
in our classes by shifting the style of our classroom teaching
from lecturing mode to discussion mode. Here students are
encouraged to deliberate on the topic at hand both with their
classmates as well as with their teachers.
To promote collaborative learning we often assign a particular
question to a particular group of students for collective effort to
solve it. In subjects which have the provision of project work we
assign topic of the Project to a group of students and required
them to conduct collective study of the topic. Each of the

55

students of the group is asked to prepare their own Report so

that individual perception about the problem may separately be
reflected.
Independent learning is promoted by providing separate
assignment to every students of the class.
2.3.4

How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and

scientific temper among the students to transform them into lifelong learners and innovators?
We try to promote critical thinking, creativity and scientific
temper among the students through organised Debates,
Discussion sessions, Essay writing competition, Seminars and
Workshops and Project Works on the different socioeconomic
issues of the Society. Students are here required to explore the
issue in their own way and to express their views with
arguments to substantiate their stand. Teachers adjudge the
whole exercise and make their observations known to be
students so that they can amend and improve their views and
arguments wherever required. The whole process is conducted
in a way that trains our students to view and analyse a problem
in objective manner and their arguments should be based on the
cause and effect relationships.
Besides, the College organises time to time cultural functions
such as Bihar Divas, in order to promote creativity among
our students. In recent years our students have won numerous
prizes in the cultural functions organised by the University at
Local, State and National Level. A list of Prize Winners of the
College students is annexed herewith under Annexure No:-

2.3.5

What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the
faculty for effective teaching? Eg: Virtual laboratories, elearning - resources from National Programme on Technology
Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) and National Mission on

with it.

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?
1. To provide academic, personal and psycho-social support
and guidance to our students, we have Mentorship System
fully functional both at UG and PG level. Under it in the
beginning of academic session students of Hons and PG
classes are allotted to the teachers of the respective Dept in
accordance with their Roll No. Often in this allotment
process we follow the random process so that students of
composite merit may belong to every group. The concerned
Mentor provides all the above mentioned services to their
respective students throughout the session.
2. Besides, we have fully functional Counselling Cell in the
College. On last Saturday of every month, Counselling Cells
Members sit together to redress the problems referred to the
Cell during the month period.

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?
1. As mentioned earlier we are in a process shifting our
teaching approach from teacher centric to studentscentric

57

methods. Teachers of the college are being oriented and

motivated to adopt and follow the matter.
2. In last few years we have upgraded our class room by
equipping them to apply/use modern technologies for our
classroom teaching.
3. We have been following differentiated instructions method
to redress the educational gap between deficient and
advanced learners.
4. All these teaching methods have visibly improved the
confidence level, academic performances and creativity of
our students.
2.3.9

How are library resources used to augment the teachinglearning process?

1. C M College Library has been one of the richest in L N
Mithila University, Darbhanga. It has two wings. One
comprises stock of books available to be issued for our
students and teachers. Reading Room constitutes the second
wing of our Library. Our Library counter operates from
10:00 am to 04:00 pm on daily basis excluding Sunday.
Students of our college regularly visits the Library to get the
required books issued from library. In our Reading Room a
good collection of reference books and selected journals and
Magazines remain available for our students. This Reading
Room has a capacity to accommodate a good number of
students at a time. The whole function of Library and
Reading Room is monitored by Library Committee of the
college comprising teachers of the different Depts.
2. Recently we have made significant progress towards
digitalization of our Library. We are working on this project
in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre, Govt
of India, Darbhanga.
3. We have Central Computer Lab and regular subscription of
enlist programme of INFLIBNET which has been helpful to
our teachers and students in accessing e-journals and ebooks being made available by INFLIBNET services.
4. In addition to these, we encourage our students to use open
access resources available through the Internet including
e-granthalaya.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the

58

curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If yes,

elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional
approaches to overcome these.
Usually our effort has been to complete the curriculum within
the timeframe, but sometime we do face some challenges on this
front1. Darbhanga has been a severely flood affected area. In case
of serious flood situation our college is usually made as a
Refugee Centre of the flood affected population by the
District Administration. This causes serious interruption in
our academic business.
2. In addition to teaching our teachers and buildings available
are used by our parent University for different examination
purposes. This also hampers our academic activities.
3. Election either for Parliament or of Assembly/Local bodies
often cause interruption in our academic engagement as our
teachers and non-teaching staff both are deployed in election
works.
4. To overcome these challenges the College Education Council
reviews the situation and formulated strategies to complete
the left out curriculum in the available time period that
includes arrangement special classes, morning classes in the
case of examinations held in the 2nd half of the day, provision
of classes even after filling up the examination forms.
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of
teaching learning?
We have a two-tier mechanism to monitor and evaluate the
quality of teaching learning:(a) Through IQAC we regularly observe and evaluate the
quality of our teaching and learning process. Any needed
improvement felt by the IQAC is formally communicated to
the College Education Council. The later formulate the ways
and means to effect such improvements.
(b) As mentioned earlier, C M College has been the only
Institution of L N Mithila University which has the practice
of Academic Audit (AA) on annual basis. This Academic
Audit constitutes the 2nd tier arrangement of evaluating our
teaching and learning process.

59

Observations made by the AA team are put before the IQAC

for formulation of remedial measures for the shortcomings
underlined by the audit team. The Report of the IQAC
subsequently placed before the CEC of our College for its
considerations and finalization required corrective measures.
2.4 Teacher Quality

62

functional College Research Cell which facilitates

formulation of Research Proposal, Getting it approved and
forwarded to the UGC by the University, Monitors the
sanctioned on-going Research projects. At the time of
submission of the Project Reports the Cell deliberates on it
and after being satisfied forwards the Report for final
submission.
2. The college liberally help grant the study leave to teachers
interested.
3. To help publish Research work made by the College
Teachers the College regularly publishes its own peer
reviewed Research Journal (ISSN 2321-9734) Academia
journal of CM College.
4. In addition to our college Research journal our teachers
have been regularly contributing to some other Research
journals (with ISSN) being published with the active support
of some our faculty members.

popularity of the subject.

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?
There is no institutional mechanism of evaluation of teachers by
the students in Bihar.
Our Academic Audit does include evaluation of teachers by the
external peers. The observations made by the Academic Audit
Team is processed and executed through IQAC and CEC of the
College.

63

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?
University Regulation attached with every Course explains the
evaluation process to be adopted for the course. At College level
both Teachers and Students are briefed about it at the
Department level by their respective Heads in the beginning of
the session.
In so far as evaluation process of Internal examination
(Introduced by the College itself in the form of Mid-Term Test
at UG level) is formulated by the College Education Council
and is briefed to the Students Teachers of different Depts by
their respective Heads.

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?
In academic session 2012-2013 Semester System was introduced
by the University at PG level, in which provision for Continuous
Internal Assessment (CIA) was made. Marks obtained by the
Students in their CIA are to be added in their final semester
and University examination.
We also follow the system introduced by the University at PG
level. In addition to CIA, Project work to be conducted by the
students has also been made mandatory in almost all subjects at
PG level.
At UG level University regulation the provision of Annual
Session-End Examination. In order to encourage learning
continuous at UG level also we at C M College introduced MidTerm Test System in each year in three years Degree Courses.

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?
To ensure successful implementation of the above mentioned
evaluation reforms both at UG and PG levels College Education
Council plays a key role. It formulates the strategy for effective

64

implementation of such reforms and also monitors its execution.

2.5.4

Provide details on the formative and summative assessment

approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few
examples which have positively impacted the system.
To measure students achievements we are in practice of
applying both formative and summative assessment
approaches.
In so far as formative assessment is concerned our teaching has
been by and large interactive. We invariably ask our Students
to summarise the concept taught to them in a particular class, to
know their conceptual understanding of the topic taught we
assign review questions to them and assess their responses.
With an intention to effect summative evaluation we are in
practice of holding Mid-Term Test, Project work etc at UG and
PG level.

2.5.5

Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and
weightages assigned for the overall development of students
(weightage for behavioural aspects, independent learning,
communication skills etc.
At PG level our Internal Assessment includes assessment of
behavioural aspects, communication skills, regularity in
attendance for which 05 Marks have been allotted. This
assessment is in practice from the Academic session 2012-2013.
At UG level in our BBA Course there is a provision to assess the
behavioural aspects , communication skills , independent
learning of our students through organising regular seminars,
workshops, Internal assessment of the BBA course, thus
comprises the separate components- written examination of 10
marks and behavioural assessment of 10 marks.
Marks obtained in these assessment (both at UG and PG levels)
are added in the University examination result. We try to make
the whole Internal Assessment System transparent by keeping
the Answer Books of written examination available for students
observation; marks obtained in seminars, workshops are also
displayed on the Notice Board of the Dept concerned. Any
grievance related either to written examination component or

65

seminar etc component of the internal assessment are quickly

redressed at the Dept level.
2.5.6

What is the graduate attributes specified by the college/

affiliating university? How does the college ensure the
attainment of these by the students?
The concept of Graduate attributes is novel for the higher
education of Bihar and, therefore, Univ/College is yet to specify
explicit graduate attributes benchmarks. Nonetheless our vision
and Mission do and intend to inculcate certain attributes among
our graduates such as fostering intellectual growth, aesthetic
appreciation and character development.
To attain these objectives our delivery system and College
environment has remained quite instrumental.

2.5.7

What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with

reference to evaluation both at the college and University level?
As mentioned earlier any grievance of our students related with
Internal Assessment either at PG or UG level is communicate
by the students to their respective Dept in written form.
Concerned HOD is responsible for its early redresses.
In so far as the grievance related with University examination
are concerned there is a separate mechanism for their redressal
at University level.

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?
Learning outcomes of our different courses have clearly been
stated in our Prospectus and have been displayed on our college
website also. Students and staff made aware of these outcomes
through the said sources.

2.6.2

Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the

progress and performance of students through the duration of the
course/programme?
Provide an analysis of the students
results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years)
and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement
across the programmes/courses offered.

66

1. The college has its mechanism to continuously monitor the

progress of its learners. For this it has a fully Functional
Mentorship System.
2. To evaluate the progress and performance of our students
during the course duration we have a system of regular class
test after finishing the each unit/module of the syllabus.
3. Annual University examinations at UG level and semesterend examination at PG level have been another way to assess
the performance.
Performance- To be analysed by giving Result sheet.
2.6.3

How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the

institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended
learning outcomes?

Being a constituent unit the broader teaching learning

and assessment strategies have been defined in the
University laws and the college has to function within the
ambit of the said laws.
In order to facilitate our teaching-learning assessment
activities we have framed out own strategies within the
ambit of the Univ. laws.
The College Education Cell (CEC) and IQAC of the
college have been assigned central role in it. IQAC of our
college has been engaged consistently and objectively in
evaluating the measures adopted by the college to
accomplish the intended goal. Any modification needed,
felt by the IQAC is reported to the CEC. CEC in turn
formulate the ways and means to execute such
modifications at grass root level. Department of the
College formally put these modifications in practice.
For instance, we have recently adopted and executed the
interactive teaching and learning process through this channel.
2.6.4

What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to

enhance the social and economic relevance (student
placements, entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude
developed among students etc.) of the courses offered?

67

We have been trying to make our programme of learning more

and more socially and economically relevant by
(a) Orienting our courses of study in light of the changing job
market conditions.
(b) Inclusion of project work in our syllabus at UG &PG levels
to develop Research aptitude among students.
(c) Maintaining the Course flow intact, right from +2 levels to
PG level in the case of entrepreneurship as a field of study
with a view to imbibe the sense of entrepreneurship among
our students.
(d) Constitution of placement cell to provide our students
employment support.
(e) Inclusion of a few purely job centric courses in our academic
programmes keeping in view the growing demand of todays
affluent society.
2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student
performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and
overcoming barriers of learning?
Performance of our students in a particular session is evaluated
at two levels-First, at internal test level and Second, University
examination level. In so far as internal test level is concerned
the performance of our students is evaluated, analysed and
summarily interpreted by the Respective Dept and the
Corrective measure is accordingly formulated and executed by
the Dept. Data related with the performance of our students in
University examinations is centrally collected for analysis by the
IQAC. The analysis report of the IQAC is placed before the
CEC to formulate strategies to overcome the shortcomings.
2.6.6

How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of

learning outcomes?
At micro level Progression of learning outcomes among our
students is monitored through our Mentorship System.
Department coordinates the work of different Mentors with a
view to ensure the achievement of learning outcomes.
Further, the afore said strategies formulated by the joint effort
of IQAC and CEC in order to overcome the learning
shortcoming are also executed by the Dept.

2.6.7

Does the institution and individual teacher use assessment/

68

evaluation outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student

performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning? If
yes provide details on the process and cite a few examples.
As is mentioned above students performance and achievement
is assessed and evaluated at the college level through our multitier system. At the Institution level it is assessed by the IQAC
and CEC; at Dept level it is monitored by the Departmental
Council and finally at group level it is assessed and monitored
by the Mentors.
For instance, students facing learning deficit is coached
differently in separate teaching session especially designed for
them by the respective Teacher. In subjects like Economics,
Commerce, BBA and Psychology papers like statistics require
prior knowledge of Mathematics. Students having problems in
catching with the advanced learners are separately trained in
elementary mathematical methods required for such papers.
CRITERION I I I : RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION
3.1 Promotion of Research
3.1.1 Does the institution have recognized research canter/s of the
affiliating University or any other agency/organization?
There is no Research Centre as such in our Institution. The
University Act of Bihar does not provide for a College to
institute separate Research Centre. Universities of Bihar are
authorised to open Research Centre at their level. Accordingly
our parent University has a separate research centre in the name
of Late Maharajadhiraj Kameshwar Singh.
3.1.2

Does the Institution have a research committee to monitor and

address the issues of research? If so, what is its composition?
Mention a few recommendations made by the committee for
implementation and their impact.
At our College level there is a Research Cell intended to actively
promote and support research activities. Teachers of the
different departments having research orientation are its
members. Principal, C M College is the Chairman of the Cell.
Research Cell has been actively motivating teachers to undertake
Research Work and also monitoring the progress of ongoing

69

Project Works in the College. It has brought good reasons in the

form of regular preparation of research proposals and sustains
progress in the ongoing research works. In 2012-13 the Cell was
successful in procuring UGC grants for 06 proposals which are
still in progress. I9n 2013-14 the Cell has forwarded about half a
dozen fresh research proposals prepared by our College teachers
for approval of the UGC.
3.1.3

What are the measures taken by the institution to facilitate

smooth progress and implementation of research schemes/
projects?

Autonomy to the principal investigator:

There is complete autonomy to the Principal Investigator
in their research pursuit. The College administration
does not have any say in their Project related decisions.

Timely availability or release of resources:

In so far as availability of financial resources is concerned
the College has no separate fund to finance any research
project. For such projects it completely depends on the
external financial agencies like UGC, ICSHR, ICSSR and
others.
Once the resources are made available to the College
account by these agencies, it has been our endeavour to
process and make such resources quickly available to our
Scholars.

Adequate infrastructure and human resources:

C M College has got a very rich Library which is
equipped with Internet facility along with the active
subscription of N-List programme of INFLIBNET of
UGC. It is heartening to mention here that C M College,
Darbhanga has been among the Top 10 users of this enlist
programme at the National level.

time-off, reduced teaching load, special leave etc. to

teachers:
Though acute shortage of faculties compels our Members
to remain available in the Campus for Classroom
teaching, yet the College administration tries its best to
provide time-off or special leave as and when required by

70

our Scholars.

support in terms of technology and information needs:

In addition to the facilities available in our College
Library, there is a Centralised Computer Lab equipped
with all the facilities like Internet, Photo copier, Printer
etc to cater the need of our teachers in general and those
in research work in particular.

facilitate timely auditing and submission of utilization

certificate to the funding authorities:
It has been our effort to help our Scholars to get their A/C
audited through the certified Chartered Accountant
available with us and send the Utilization certificate to the
funding agencies on time.

3.1.4

What are the efforts made by the institution in developing

scientific temper and research culture and aptitude among
students?
To promote scientific temper and research culture among
students in our classroom teaching we have been trying to make
our classroom teaching more and more case studies based so
that practical applications of the theories and laws taught in
classrooms may be presented before them. Here we intend to
acquaint our students with the factors behind the events that
they face in their daily life. We hope that our effort will generate
a thinking process among our students in terms of cause and
effect relationship. In addition to it to equip our students with
proper research techniques we have included Research
Methodology as a compulsory paper in the courses of study of
the different Departments. Before the completion of courses
both at UG & PG levels we have made a provision for
compulsory Research Projects to be done by the student as the
part of their final examination.

3.1.5

3.1.6

Give details of workshops/ training programmes/

sensitization programmes conducted/organized by the
institution with focus on capacity building in terms of research and
imbibing research culture among the staff and students.
Of late, we have been focussing on research capacity building
among our staff and students we have been trying to organise

72

workshops. For instance, during academic session 2014-15

similar such workshop was organised in the month of October in
which various dimensions of research, particularly meaningful
for this area was discussed.
3.1.7

Provide details of prioritized research areas and the expertise

available with the institution.
Our prioritized areas of research:
1. Social issues related with Mithilanchal region in particular
and Bihar in general.
2. Contemporary economic issues

5. Classical Indian Scriptures and Modern Society
6. Psychoanalysis of problems related with modern life
Expertise of our faculty related with research work is enunciated
in the concerned departmental profile

3.1.8

Enumerate the efforts of the institution in attracting researchers of

eminence to visit the campus and interact with teachers and students?
Different Departments of the College have been inviting persons
of eminence, particularly those who adjudicate and visit our
University to conduct viva-voce examination. They come to
interact with our teachers and students of the respective
Departments.

3.1.9

What percentage of the faculty has utilized Sabbatical Leave for

research activities? How has the provision contributed to improve
the quality of research and imbibe research culture on the campus?
10% teachers of the College have utilised sabbatical leave for
their research purposes. By availing this leave they have
completed their Doctoral Research Projects qualitatively and
enhanced their teaching and research competence.

3.1.10 Provide details of the initiatives taken up by the institution in creating

awareness/advocating/transfer of relative findings of research of the
institution and elsewhere to students and community (lab to land)
In order to transfer findings of our research and create
awareness among our students and society at large we try our
level best to get our research findings published in our own
Research Journal namely Academia and other prestigious

73

journals.
Besides, we organise seminars to highlight and communicate our
research findings. This also proves to be another useful channel
for this purpose.
3.2 Resource Mobilization for Research
3.2.1

What percentage of the total budget is earmarked for research? Give

details of major heads of expenditure, financial allocation and actual
utilization.
In Bihar, annual budget of different Colleges and Universities is
prepared just to seek grants from State Govt to finance recurring
salary expenditures of these institutions. This budget does not
contain any separate provision in the form of annual expenditure
on teaching as well as research. Research in these Colleges and
Universities is financed largely by the National Funding Agencies
like UGC, ICSSR and ICHR. The budget of our College is also
prepared in the same format, hence, it is difficult to state the
percentage of total budget earmarked for research.

3.2.2

Is there a provision in the institution to provide seed money to the

faculty for research? If so, specify the amount disbursed and the
percentage of the faculty that has availed the facility in the last four
years?
The Bihar State Universities Act, 1976 makes no provision for
any such assistance to be given by the College to a faculty
engaged in research.

3.2.3

What are the financial provisions made available to support student

research projects by students?
Our Courses of Study do provide for Research Projects to be
carried out by the students both at UG and PG levels but there is
no financial provision for this purpose. As a result Students have
to conduct and complete their projects at their own expenses.

3.2.4

How does the various departments/units/staff of the institute interact

in undertaking inter-disciplinary research? Cite examples of
successful endeavours and challenges faced in organizing
interdisciplinary research
NA

74

3.2.5

How does the institution ensure optimal use of various

equipment and research facilities of the institution by its staff and
students?
To make optimum utilization of our infrastructure including
equipments we have been running our College in two shifts. In
morning shift our Centralised Computer Lab, Reading Room,
Library remain available for Commerce teachers, scholar and
students while in day shift all these facilities are availed by our
teachers of the Social Sciences and Humanities.

3.2.6

Has the institution received any special grants or finances from the
industry or other beneficiary agency for developing research facility?
If yes give details.
Being a College of Arts & Commerce faculty our most of the
Researchers happen to be of social importance which do not
benefit to a particular Industry or agency. Hence, we often fail to
realise any such grants or finances from those beneficiary
agencies like Industry or others.

3.2.7

Enumerate the support provided to the faculty in securing

research funds from various funding agencies, industry and other
organizations. Provide details of ongoing and completed projects and
grants received during the last four years.

CRITERION VI: GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND

MANAGEMENT
6.1

Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the Institution and enumerate on
how the mission statement defines the institutions distinctive
characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the
students it seeks to serve, institutions traditions and value
orientations, vision for the future, etc.?
Our Vision:
Affirming and building upon its heritage, C M College commits to
maintain high educational standards, to foster and inspire student
success, to create diverse opportunities for lifelong learning. By
attracting strong leadership and distinguished faculty to a college of
excellence, we are committed to create an enriched learning
environment that empowers students to transform their lives.
Our Mission:
The mission of C M College is to educate and develop the whole
person. Our students will be equipped to become leaders, living
ethical, healthy, useful and fulfilling lives with a strong sense of
personal accountability and civic responsibility. To provide a
foundation for a lifetime of learning, we are dedicated to foster
intellectual growth, aesthetic appreciation, and character
development in our students. The C M College community thrives
on the principle that knowledge is acquired through discipline,

105

competence is established when knowledge is tempered by

experience, and character is developed when competence is
exercised for the benefit of others.
Our Emblem:

The emblem of our College reflects the same spirit. Our much
celebrated motto Tat Twam Asi underlines our belief that
there is no organic difference between teacher and student. One is
a well grown-up tree, while other is a seedhaving all potential
for being a tree. What is needed is a right kind of environment
and careful nurturing. The two hands enveloping the growing
tree, shown in our emblem, represent our same aspiration.
Shifting the focus from teaching to learning, we intend to help
develop among our students a right attitude towards continuous
learning. It means creating in them a passion to learn from
everything they find interesting that crosses their paths and
continue to grow throughout their lives. Such life-long learning
envisions making our students a true explorer of life and
empowering them to enjoy their life to the fullest.
Our Vision, Mission and also the Emblem mentioned above give
direction to our Goals and the Actions to accomplish the defined
goals, an explanation of which may be enumerated as under:
Goal-1:
Improve students learning and achievement
i. Create and maintain academic excellence and equity in all
branches of teaching and learning.
Actions:
At the heart of the quest for educational equity and excellence is
the classroom: the relationship among students, teachers, and
content. By addressing the needs of every student and raising

106

standards for all, College can do much to ensure equity and

excellence.
a. Addressing the needs of every student: While most would
agree it is impractical to try to individualize every lesson for
every learner, research has shown that teaching to the middle is
ineffective. It ignores the needs of advanced students, often
leaving them unchallenged and bored, while it intimidates and
confuses lower functioning learners. Best practice suggests an
alternative: differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction
is an approach that assumes there is a diversity of learners in
every classroom and that all of those learners can be reached if
a variety of methods and activities are used. In this backdrop,
our effort is to base our teaching on students own readiness
levels, interests, and learning profiles so that the achievement
gap among students can be minimized successfully.
b. Raising standard for all: To educational standard of our
College we have been striving first, to keep making our
curricula more and more challenging and up-to-date;
second, shifting our class-room instruction from lecturing alone
to appending lectures with real life applications (through
presenting case studies related with the matter under study);
third, practicing regular tests in order to improve their ability
to think critically and to communicate effectively. And, all this
is done by utilizing the services of our highly qualified and
caring faculty who respond to the individual needs of students,
taking a genuine interest in their intellectual growth.
ii. Generate and sustain greater expectations among students
Actions:
Students expectations of their own ability and academic performance
exert important impact on his future. A low self-expectation limits his
horizon and downsizes his achievements despite of having good
potential. In an educationally backward area like Darbhanga, where
people have little exposure to the outside world, this problem is more
prevalent. A student, who is quite competent to clear a class one job
examinations, if actually joins a clerical or BSF Jawan job, despite of
repeated requests of his teacher not to do this, clearly shows his lower
self-expectation. A student who should, in the eyes of his teacher,
score distinction in his/her university examination, if scores 50%

107

marks and is complacent with his/her underperformance, again

highlights a case of lower self-expectation.
We are conscious of the fact that in such cases any improvement in
learning and achievement is possible only if his/her self-expectation
can be scaled up. Moreover, our experience shows that earlier it is
tried, better it results. We believe that the first year on campus is
critical to setting high expectations both for the quantity and quality
of work. Setting high expectations in the first year establishes the
tone for the rest of a student's time on campus. For this, our
Counselling Cell organises seminars, special lectures (inviting
external experts having motivational potential) at entry level. Besides,
personal contacts with students created through our mentor system
works as catalyst to this end. In all these efforts we intend to make
our students believe that neither there is anything like innate ability,
nor is the intelligence predetermined. Good or bad academic
performance is determined entirely by the amount of rigour put forth
by them.

iii. Using multimedia in teaching and learning

Actions:
Multimedia is one of the best educational techniques because it
addresses more than one sense simultaneously, as it addresses the
senses of sight & hearing. With this view we supplement our classroom lectures with multimedia technology. We use it to present
different drawings and pictures needed to support or clarify an idea.
In subjects like Commerce and Economics students are trained to use
excel-sheet to make different statistical and mathematical
computations. Similarly, our History and Political Science
departments instead of drawing maps manually use this technology to
present them. Besides, students are informed about and encouraged to
use various open-access course materials to enrich their knowledge
and preparation.

108

iv. Offering co-curricular/extra-curricular activities

Actions
Mere classroom teaching is inefficient to bring about all round
development of student is a major part of our perspective planning.
Participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities is widely
thought to play a key role in students academic success. For this our
Literary Society frequently organises essay Competition, Poetry
recitation, Elocution Competition, Debating Competition. We have
been organising special lectures to make our students acquainted with
the emerging socio-political and economic challenges and means to
fight them. Our Cultural Association works for providing dais for
presentation of cultural activity of students. They have repeatedly
proved their leadership in inter-college, inter-university and interregional competitions. Our NSS and NCC Units have been
organising extension works regularly.
Goal-2:
Enhance faculty strength and effectiveness
i. Increase the size of the faculty
A critical mass of faculty is necessary for quality higher education.
Unfortunately, we have gone below this critical figure also. Out of the
90 posts sanctioned only 41 teachers are working today. Some of our
departments have an unimaginable figure of the teacher-student ratio,
for example in Commerce it comes out to be 1:270, in History and
Political Science situation is not much different (while Intermediate
students are not included here).
The University Act does not empower us to recruit new faculty. Yet,
we have been trying to ease the situation by inviting Research
Scholars to engage classes. We are considering utilizing a pool of
retired faculty members with excellent educational skills.
ii. Enhance quality of our available faculty members
Actions
Improvement in teaching skill and knowledge base in our teachers are
treated here as an essential ingredient for quality education. To
accomplish it the College has been trying to focus on following
measures:

109

a.
To recall and reinforce previously acquired knowledge and
skill and to acquaint them with the latest development in their subject
area, teachers are encouraged to participate in Refresher Courses
regularly.
b.
Strengthening the college library as the heart of academic
excellence by regular purchases of reference books, journals and
magazines.
c.
Encouraging teachers to use INFLIBNET and other openaccess online resources more and more.
d.
Create a campus climate that inspires commitment and
enthusiasm among teachers and find greater intrinsic satisfaction in
their teaching. We have been trying to foster such enhanced
motivation and an enhanced sense of involvement through our
inclusive management and democratic participation policy, where the
formulation, adoption, and implementation of plans and programs are
completely entrusted in the hands teachers committees constituted
for different activity areas.
e.
Encouraging teachers to do regular introspection to assess
their own performance and tailor their own methods to effect an
improvement in class-room performances. Such sel-assessment helps
them learn from their own experiences.
f. Encouraging faculty to support, critique, and assist each other's
teaching that foster conversation about teaching, that assert a sense
of common purpose, and rally dispirited or isolated faculty to a
greater commitment to teaching and learning.
Goal-3:
Establish leadership in research at university and state levels
i. Identify and support those Departments whose members have
potential to excel in research.
Actions
College has a fully functional Research Cell aiming to administrative
and faculty collaboration for creating a culture of research in the
College. It intends to raise the level of dissemination, discussion,
interaction and mutual support among faculties to promote research.
In every academic session it identifies the departments and teachers
having research interest; motivate and support them to formulate a
minor or major research project; and help get them sectioned from the
UGC. Last year UGC cleared five of our minor projects; this year
also a couple of projects are waiting for its clearance.

ii.

Arrange research publication

Action
We have found that teachers who have positive attitudes and practice
self-reflection on their teaching performance do embark on research.
They found satisfaction when they can share or report their findings
to others. It is to support them and to promote collective sharing of
research findings that we have our own peer-reviewed journal
Academiain regular publication (with ISSN). Besides, we conduct
seminars/conferences based on research findings of our faculties.
iii.

Equip our library with research facilities

Action
Originally, our college library was organised mostly to promote
quality teaching. But, now we are in a process of equipping it with all
the required materials, data, information, and literature useful for
research. We are also working with the National Informatics Centre
(NIC) to digitalize our library and build a scholarly publication
database.
Goal-4:
Improve organisational effectiveness
i. Acquaintance with organisational culture of the College
Action:
Organisational structure of the colleges of Bihar is given in the
University Laws. Basically, it characterises lifetime employment,
collective decision making, individual responsibility, infrequent
promotion, and informal evaluation. Despite of having a
predetermined structure, it is a fact that every college has its own
organisational culture, which establishes its identity and makes it
distinct from others. An organization's culture is reflected in what is
done, how it is done, and who is involved in doing it. It concerns
decisions, actions, and communication both on an instrumental and a
symbolic level. For an administrator to be successful it is essential for
him to fully grasp the cultural dynamics of his college, so that,

111

conflict and adversarial relationship may be contained and

collaborative work environment may be promoted and maintained.
In Bihar, principals have a fixed term of five years in one college. For
a fresh administrator, proper acquaintance with the organisational
culture of the college of his new posting took at least one-third of his
tenure. C M College is fortunate on this account. Our present
Principal has been a teacher of this college for 26 long years.
Naturally, he was well aware with the organisational culture of the
college at the time of posting itself. This has helped him a lot in
choosing the right person for a job. This has also infused a sense of
brotherhood among college staff as everybody thinks that he is from
among us. Such a harmonious and collaborative environment has
substantially enhanced the organisational effectiveness of the College
in recent years.
ii.

Managing conflict in a constructive way

Action:
Such harmony does not completely rule out the possibility of any
conflict in our daily life of the College. In fact, conflict is a natural
part of collective human pursuit. In our observation, such conflicts
usually happen to be of two kinds: First type of conflict that we often
face is the Cognitive Conflict, which pertains to a conflict of ideas
and disagreement about how to accomplish some task; it involves
dispute over procedures and policies. Second, we sometime face
Affective Conflict involving a perceived threat to ones personal or
group identity, ego, or self-respect. Under the present regime, as the
Principal personally knows each and every teaching and non-teaching
employee very well, he is aware of their nature, personality traits and
disposition, and tries to deal each of them accordingly. That has
restricted the second form of conflict to its minimum. In so far as the
cognitive conflict is concerned, here too our collaborative
environment, a sense of interdependence, and the recognition that
both parties hold common goal create willingness among the
contending parties to consider and incorporate opposing views. Such
constructive dissolution of conflict through incorporation of best
ideas often delivers us good results in the form of top quality decision
and high mutual self-respect.

112

iii.

Motivating employees

Action:
A successful organization can generally trace its success to motivated
employees. However, motivation is personal. While one employee
may appreciate time off, the next may enjoy new challenges. The
basic rule is to discover what employees want and create a way to
give it to them or encourage them to earn it. Here too Principals
acquaintance with employees enables him to know what his staff
value and what motivates them. Besides, we have a culture of open
communication, of keeping employees informed and involved, of
enabling them to skill training, and helping them in crisis. This all
greatly inspires motivation in our work units and enhance our
productivity.
Goal-5:
Strengthen community engagement
i. Associating learning with local community
Action:
We try to associate our teaching and learning with community at two
levels: First, we usually award local subjects for project-work which
is mandatory in almost all subjects at PG level and in a few subjects
of social science area at UG level. This gives them an opportunity to
interact with and learn about the local community, their life style,
their hardships etc. Second, we frequently organise seminars,
debates, and essay competition on local issues. This again opens
every time a new window for them to view and learn the reality of
local life.
ii.

Promoting knowledge sharing

Action:
Our NSS and NCC units time to time organise camps in village areas
to make local citizen aware of their rights, different welfare schemes
carried out by the union and state governments for them, various
provisions under the Panchayati Raj Act, Provisions under RTI Act
and Right to Service Act etc. Students and teachers attending these
camps stay in the village for a day or two (depending upon the nature
of the camp), closely interact with the local people and share their
knowledge with them.

113

iii.

Contributing to social work

Action:
Our students have been contributing to various social works assigned
to them either by the college administration or by the district
administration. For example, our NCC cadets have been called
several times by the local police administration to participate in
management of traffic posts in Darbhanga city, so that the chaotic
traffic can be managed and awareness about how to drive, how to
take by-lanes etc can be created among citizen. These students
perform more politely and patiently than the local policemen.
Similarly, the local district magistrate has called upon our NSS
volunteers to manage various camps. One such camp was recently
attended by our students was to distribute old-age pension in different
blocks of Darbhanga district. Darbhanga being a flood prone area, it
has witnessed devastating floods more often than not. During those
days of crisis, our students have organised raahat camps organised by
the college administration. Here, we use the service of our students to
collect contribution from local traders and general public for these
camps, and also engage them to provide the required relief to the
affected people.
6.1.2 What is the role of top management, Principal and Faculty in design
and implementation of its quality policy and plans?
To design and implement quality policy and plans for the College
IQAC and CEC play leading roles. IQAC regularly monitor and
assess the requirements for improvement in the quality of our
teaching and allied services and accordingly recommend its plan
for improvement in these areas to CEC. CEC, in turn, makes
these plans operational through formulating different steps to be
taken at different levels i.e. at the Departmental level, at the office
level and likewise. During the course of implementation IQAC is
expected to monitor its progress and time to time report it to the
CEC.
Principal, C M College, happens to be the chairperson both
IQAC and CEC, that helps coordinate the functioning of both
these bodies. IQAC as well as CEC is composed of faculty
Members of Different Departments and in that capacity they
contribute in formulation of quality policy.
6.1.3 What is the involvement of the leadership in ensuring:
As mentioned earlier the CEC plays the leading role in all the

114

areas mentioned here under 6.1.3. Principal, C M College being

its chairperson plays leadership role in ensuring proper
formulation of actions plans and its timely execution. In some
areas like need analysis, research inputs and consultation with
stakeholders, IQAC also contributes significantly. Hence,
instead of the leadership of an individual the College operates in
these areas through these bodies.
6.1.4 What are the procedures adopted by the institution to monitor and
evaluate policies and plans of the institution for effective
implementation and improvement from time to time?
In our institution IQAC has been assigned with the work of
monitoring the ongoing quality improvement plans and its
evaluation with a view to further reinforce and improve it in light
of the past experiences. It accordingly reports and recommends
the needed modifications to the CEC which, in turn, for
operationalize them.
6.1.5 Give details of the academic leadership provided to the faculty by the
top management?
College Education Council has been designed primarily with a
view to provide academic leadership at College level and it
functions in this backdrop.
6.1.6 How does the college groom leadership at various levels?
At College level we have different committees for academic and
administrative purpose which are primarily manned by the
different faculty members. They are, thus, motivated to play
leading role in the respective area. At department level we have
Departmental Council in which two student members are also
nominated to participate in its meeting and contribute to its
functioning. Here both the faculty member and student
representative get proper opportunity to reflect their vision and
participate in the affairs of the dept.
6.1.7 How does the college delegate authority and provide
operational autonomy to the departments / units of the
institution and work towards decentralized governance system?
Departments of the College function through Departmental Council
which comprises faculty members of the dept and student
representative. In all academic affairs Departmental Council is fully

115

authorised to take decision. They are, however expected to operate

within the purview of the CEC as most of the academic decisions
taken by CEC get implemented at the Departmental level. In this
sense, Departmental council functions as the operative organ of the
CEC. Principal of the College primarily plays the coordinators role
here.
6.1.8 Does the college promote a culture of participative
management? If yes, indicate the levels of participative
management.
The above mentioned elaboration of the functioning of the
College as well as the different departments clearly reflects that
they have completely decentralised governance system and it
ensures proper participation of all the stakeholders (faculty,
student and others) at different levels.
6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment
6.2.1 Does the Institution have a formally stated quality policy? How is it
developed, driven, deployed and reviewed?
C M College does have a stated quality policy derived from its
Vision statements. The policy:

culture of socially productive research activities in the campus.
6.
The College will be committed to manage its available resources
effectively and efficiently.
6.2.2 Does the Institute have a perspective plan for development? If so,

116

give
the aspects considered for inclusion in the plan.
College does have a prospective plan for development. It has
reframed in the background of SWOT analyses recently carried
out by the IQAC of the College. Some of the important aspects
considered for inclusion in plan are as follows:
1. Up gradation of Faculty through specifically designed
Development Support Programs
2. Enhance Institution Management Capabilities
3. Make our Teaching and Learning Process more Effective
4. Gradual shift to more and more Vocationalization of

6.2.5 How does the Head of the institution ensure that adequate
information (from feedback and personal contacts etc.) is
available for the top management and the stakeholders, to review
the activities of the institution?
Besides personal contacts, the Principal of the College get
information from the under mentioned sources:
1. Parent-Teacher-Students Meet
2. Student Members of The Departmental Council
3. Grievances and Suggestion Box installed in the Academic
Bloc of the College
4. Meeting with Members of the local community
Information procured from the aforesaid sources give valuable
ideas for taking needful corrective measures to improve and
enhance the system.
6.2.6 How does the management encourage and support involvement
of the staff in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the
institutional processes?
To encourage and support the involvement of the staff they are
nominated in different committees framed with a view to ensure
improvement in effectiveness and efficiency in the institutional
process.
6.2.7 Enumerate the resolutions made by the Management Council in the
last year and the status of implementation of such resolutions.
Being a constituent unit there is no concept of Management
Council as such for the College.
6.2.8 Does the affiliating university make a provision for according the
status of autonomy to an affiliated institution? If yes, what are the
efforts made by the institution in obtaining autonomy?
The Bihar State Universities Act, 1976 does provide for according
the status of autonomy to an affiliated institution.
6.2.9 How does the Institution ensure that grievances / complaints are
promptly attended to and resolved effectively? Is there a mechanism

119

to analyze the nature of grievances for promoting better stakeholder

relationship?
There is a Grievance Redressal Cell in the College for this
purpose. Any grievance demanding serious reconsideration at the
higher level, the Cell forward it to the CEC where it has been
taken up to ensure its proper Redressal and required corrective
measures.
6.2.10 During the last four years, had there been any instances of court cases
filed by and against the institute? Provide details on the issues and
decisions of the courts on these?
One such court case was filed in the year 2013 which was related
with the containing the interference of outside rowdy elements in
College affairs. This criminal case is still pending with local
District Court.
6.2.11 Does the Institution have a mechanism for analyzing student
feedback on institutional performance? If yes, what was the
outcome and response of the institution to such an effort?
Feedback of the students is usually voiced in our College at two
different levels. Firstly, at the department level each and every
Departmental Council comprises 02 student representatives for
the same purpose. Secondly, at College level grievance and
suggestion box is often used by our students to lodge their
feedback. Feedback received from our student at both of these
levels has helped us in improving functioning of the institution.
6.3 Faculty Empowerment Strategies
6.3.1 What are the efforts made by the institution to enhance the
professional development of its teaching and non teaching staff?
To promote professional development among our faculty we
constantly endeavour at various levels such as:
1. Liberally enabling our teachers to participate in
Professional Development Programs such as orientation
courses and refresher courses being conducted time to
time by the various academic staff colleges of the country.
2. Motivating our teachers to enhance their research
capabilities for which we have been organizing workshops
on research methodology and allied issues.
3. Reorganising our Central Computer Lab by shifting it in

120

the teaching block so that it should be easily accessible to

all the teachers having leisure hours during the class
period and equipping it with all modern facilities like
internet, printer, Xerox machine etc. we have been a
regular subscriber of N-list service of the UGC and
MHRD, Govt of INDIA with a view to enable our faculty
member to improve their research skills.
4. Offering them a regular channel for their research
publication in the form of a peer reviewed annual research
journal with ISSN in the name of Academia.
5. Cultivating creative writing practices among our faculty
members as well as students by bringing out College
Magazine in the name of Videh at annual basis.
6. In so far as non-teaching staff are concerned we have of
late equipped our different sections of the office with
computer and allied items and we are in a process to train
them up in a phased manner to handle all their office
works on computer.
6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty
empowerment through training, retraining and motivating the
employees for the roles and responsibility they perform?
Our efforts to motivate the employees for the roles and
responsibilities they perform have already been elaborated in
preceding point 6.3.1.
6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to
evaluate and ensure that information on multiple activities is
appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.
Performance Appraisal System either for faculty or for nonteaching staff is yet to be formally introduced at our University
level/State level.
6.3.4 What is the outcome of the review of the performance appraisal reports
by the management and the major decisions taken? How are they
communicated to the appropriate stakeholders?
NA
6.3.5 What are the welfare schemes available for teaching and non
teaching staff? What percentage of staff have availed the benefit of
such schemes in the last four years?

121

In Bihar welfare scheme for teaching and non-teaching staff is

operated at the University level in accordance with the various
provisions of Bihar State Universities (BSU) Act, 1976. Data
related with such schemes are, therefore, not available at College
level.
6.3.6 What are the measures taken by the Institution for attracting and
retaining eminent faculty?
All the employees of a college in Bihar, teaching as well as nonteaching, are the employees of their parent University, though
they may be posted in a College. So placement and continuance
of a staff is actually governed by the will of the University
administration. However, we have been trying our best to retain
our faculty members especially those of high repute by
representing and urging our University authorities not to engage
them elsewhere. For example, recently we have brought back
two of our teachers deputed as University officers in different
capacities by representing and pressing our need the University
level.
6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization
6.4.1 What is the institutional mechanism to monitor effective and
efficient use of available financial resources?
In the Universities of Bihar to monitor effective and efficient use
of available financial resources there is a provision of
Development Committee at College level. Any expense more than
rupees 10 thousand is to be approved by the Development
Committee. Senior teachers of the College happen to be its
member and one University representative nominated by the
Parent University constitutes this committee. Besides, University
Engineers, Civil and Electrical, are also its members. This
Development Committee functions as the key institutional
mechanism to monitor uses of available financial resources in a
College like ours.
In addition to this, to ensure efficient utilization of resources
available to organise and conduct different professional courses
in the College we have separate Advisory Committee for each of
such courses. Any expense from the fund-raised for a particular
course is to be made only after getting proper approval of the
advisory committee.
6.4.2 What are the institutional mechanisms for internal and external audit?

122

When was the last audit done and what are the major audit
objections? Provide the details on compliance.
According to the provisions of the BSU Act, 1976 every college of
Bihar has to be audited internally by a certified Chartered
Accountant at annual basis and the report is to be submitted to
the parent University. The parent University, in turn, conducts
external audit of the College coming under its purview through
its own agencies. This exercise of internal as well as external audit
is to be carried out annually in a regular manner.
The last audit of our College was conducted in the year 2012-13.
Objections raised by the auditor were as under:
1. Lack of preparedness of General ledger of F/Y 2012-13.
2. Lack of preparedness of Cash Book of LNMU fund (C M
College A/C No. 1).
In compliance with aforesaid Audit objections the College has
taken the following initiatives:
1. The preparation of General Ledger of 2012-13 is under
process
2. There has been no practice of preparing Cash Book of
LNMU fund (C M College A/C No. 1) in any College of
our University.
6.4.3 What are the major sources of institutional receipts/funding and how
is the deficit managed? Provide audited income and expenditure
statement of academic and administrative activities of the previous
four years and the reserve fund/corpus available with Institutions,
if any.
Major sources of College receipts/funding are as under:
1. Fees to be realised from students.
2. Income from College estates
3. Development Grants from UGC
4. Development Grants from the State Government
Deficit is met through the non developmental grants advanced by
the Govt of Bihar.
Audit report of the last four years is annexed herewith in ANo: 7
6.4.4 Give details on the efforts made by the institution in securing
additional funding and the utilization of the same (if any).

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS)

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)
a) Has the institution established an Internal Quality
Assurance Cell (IQAC)? If yes, what is the institutional
policy with regard to quality assurance and how has it
contributed in institutionalizing the quality assurance
processes?
College does have an Internal Quality Assurance Cell
(IQAC). It was though initially established in 2006 but for
one reason or the other it became fully functional since
2012.
The IQAC takes initiatives to effectively execute the
Quality Policy of the College. The Quality Policy of the
College has already been mentioned earlier in this report
in point no: - 6.2.1
To institutionalise the quality assurance process IQAC
has been regularly evaluating and assessing the ongoing
activities of the College and suggesting measures for
improvement. These suggestions of IQAC are put before
CEC to make it operational.
b) How many decisions of the IQAC have been approved by the
management / authorities for implementation and how many of
them were actually implemented?
Most of the suggestions made by IQAC have been
approved by our CEC for implementation. Recently the
proposal moved by the IQAC to initiate the process of
Academic Audit has been widely appreciated by the
College and University authorities. We have received
report of the 1st Academic Audit conducted in the year
2013 and are in a process to undergo through the 2nd audit.
c) Does the IQAC have external members on its committee? If
so, mention any significant contribution made by them.
Eminent educationists and social workers are the
members of our IQAC who have been actively giving us
their feedbacks and observations regarding our activities.
An officer of District Administration also happens to be a
member of our IQAC.

124

d) How do students and alumni contribute to the effective

functioning of the IQAC?
Various mechanisms for student feedback have been
mentioned earlier in this report. Any suggestion from the
side of our students related with Quality Improvement is
forwarded by the department or the College
administration to the IQAC which, in turn takes up the
matter with all sincerity.
e) How does the IQAC communicate and engage staff from
different constituents of the institution?
IQAC is composed of members of different departments
of the College who, in turn, represents the views and
observations related with quality enhancement of their
respective department and thereby communication and
engagement of their constituents are ensured.
6.5.2 Does the institution have an integrated framework for Quality
assurance of the academic and administrative activities? If yes, give
details on its operationalisation.
As elaborated earlier, IQAC and CEC taken together constitutes
the integrated framework for quality assurance of the academic
and administrative activities of the College.
6.5.3 Does the institution provide training to its staff for effective
implementation of the Quality assurance procedures? If yes, give
details enumerating its impact.
NA
6.5.4 Does the institution undertake Academic Audit or other external review
of the academic provisions? If yes, how are the outcomes used
to improve the institutional activities?
C M College is proud to be the 1st College of Bihar to undergo
through the academic audit process. Our last audit was held in
the year 2013 and has received its report also. We are actively
working on the recommendations made by the audit team. Most
of their recommendations have been met and we are ready to
undergo through another cycle of annual academic audit in 2014.
Copy of Academic Audit 2013 report is annexed herewith under
annexure no: - 3

125

6.5.5 How is the internal quality assurance mechanisms aligned with the
requirements of the relevant external quality assurance
agencies/regulatory authorities?
Our IQAC is completely in line with the requirements of NAAC,
Bangalore. There is no such separate requirement prescribed by
our parent University.
6.5.6 What institutional mechanisms are in place to continuously review
the teaching learning process? Give details of its structure,
methodologies of operations and outcome?
For this purpose we have a fully functional CEC. It constantly
reviewed the academic activities of the College. Teachers of
different departments constitute its members. Coordinator of
IQAC also happens to be a member of the CEC so that
coordination between two bodies may be ensured.
In recent years CEC has contributed a lot in improving academic
environment, teaching learning process and research activities of
the College. A perusal of resolutions made in different meetings of
the CEC can highlight its outcome.
6.5.7 How does the institution communicate its quality assurance policies,
mechanisms and outcomes to the various internal and external
stakeholders?
We are in a process of submitting 1st annual report of IQAC for
the year 2013. Regarding academic audit our guidelines made for
this purpose is duly approved by the university authorities and the
report of our 1st Academic Audit has already been communicated
to the parent University.
CRITERIA VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 Environment Consciousness
7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and
facilities?
We are conscious of making our campus and facilities more and
more eco-friendly. Recently we have formally approached the
concerned authority to conduct a Green Audit of our campus
and facilities available thereon. We are hopeful that our
performance on this account would be much better than other
educational institutions of this locality.

126

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus ecofriendly?

Energy conservation:
To conserve energy we have recently:
a) Replaced all the old electric wires and switches with
new one
b) Old fans in classrooms, departments and offices
have been replaced with energy saving models
c) Old bulbs have been replaced with CFL bulbs
d) Boarders of the Hostel have been recently made
aware of the importance of energy conservation
and are motivated to lessen the misuse of energy in
hostel.
e) Electric connection of all the staff quarters of the
College (Teachers flat as well as Non-teaching staff
quarters have been recently bifurcated and each
has been issued its own separate meters with a view
to inculcate accountability among its residents and
to stop rampant misuse of energy

Water Harvesting: NA
Use of renewable energy: NA
Check dam construction: NA
Effort for carbon neutrality: NA
Plantation:
Our College is spread over a total area of 13.91 acres. Of it
the built up area covers 13773 Sq Mtrs. Rest of the land is
available for plantation. So, we have a regular practice of
planting new trees especially fruits bearing orchard like
mango, lichhi etc. For watering the plant we have a pond
in our western campus.
Hazardous waste management: NA
e-waste management: NA

7.2 Innovations
7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which
have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.
1. Constitution of College Education Council in 2011 for
the first time as apex academic planning and reviewing
body at our College level. In Bihar rarely any College

127

would have any such body in this form.

Under going through the Academic Audit process for
the first time in 2013. It was carried out by the three
outside experts; two of them have been related with
NAAC accreditation program.
Publication of Peer Reviewed Research Journal having
ISSN at College level.
Constitution of College Research Cell in the year 2013 to
inculcate research culture and stimulate faculty
members to undertake research projects
Conducting mid-term test both at UG & PG level to
maintain sustain improvement in student learning.

It is heartening to mention here that all these five innovative

practices have been adopted and adhered by C M College,
Darbhanga alone in the state of Bihar. These efforts immensely
contributed towards improving our quality and research.
7.3 Best Practices
Best Practice I
1. Title of the Practice: Differentiated Teaching for Slow Learners
2. Goal:
To address the expectation gap and the achievement gap among our
Students particularly from disadvantaged section of the Society
3. The Context:
Of late we have observed some learning and achievement gaps
among our students. Such gaps have been noticed at two different
levels: first, many of our students are achieving less than they should
at both UG & PG levels; second, there is a performance gap between
students of upper class and lower class SC and minority students.
Clearly, while former is a problem of expectation gap, later is related
with achievement gap. We intend to minimise both of these gaps by
increasing our students learning and achievement.

128

4. The Practice:
In the beginning of every academic session the first few classes for
the new entrants (i.e. Bachelor 1st year and Master 1st semester) are
held with a view and in a manner to locate the advanced and slow
learners among our Students. This is done primarily through
classroom discussions and home assignments. Once identified
properly we try to make up the gap felt by our slow learners through
organising special classes for them keeping in view their
preparedness level. We also try to make the composition of class,
assignments differentiated- one, for advance learners and another
for slow learners. In order to save them from being stigmatized as
slow learners among their fellow students we usually spell out both
type of assignments before them and give a choice to choose as they
like.
5. Evidence of Success:
The efforts have recently earned good results in the form of
improvement in success rate and performance level of our students
in University Exams. In addition to this we have noticed remarkable
improvement in class room engagement of our students and their
level and quality of response.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
Acute shortage of faculty has been the prime handicap for us.
Besides shortage of classrooms has also been a bottleneck.
Financial constraints have inhibited us from hiring Guest Teachers
to feel the faculty gap and deficiency of classrooms.

Best Practice II
1. Title of the Practice: Dress Code for Boys and Girls Student
2. Goal:
To identify students of the College and to weed out outsiders from
the College Campus.

129

3. The Context:
Recently we have noticed that people from the peripheral locality
often come to our Campus and create indiscipline and try to damage
the cohesive atmosphere of our College. To check them we have
strictly enforced Dress Code and Digitalized I Card for our students.
4. The Practice:
Our prospectus clearly mentions the requirement of Dress Code and
its strict adherence. Our 4th Grade employee deputed at the main
entrance of our Teaching Block are told not to permit entry of any
students who are not in required Dress and have proper I Card.
5. Evidence of Success:

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strengths:
a) A sharp increase in the number of students offering English
(Hons) course over the years.
b) A significantly high number of female students in the class is
indicative of their greater motivation for higher education.
c) The English Literacy Society run by the Department organises
periodical tests, seminars, debates, elocution contests, excursion
tours for students, involving faculty members of other
disciplines and gives away prizes to the winners.
d) Faculty Mentored Programmes take care of the individual
needs of the students.
e) Language special and spoken English classes for students from
other disciplines and from other colleges are held regularly.
f) The Language Lab is proving an asset in training and equipping
students with the latest gadgets.
g) Nearly all faculty members are PhD degree holders and they
are actively engaged in research work updating their knowledge
and skill through attending seminars, workshops &
conferences.
Weaknesses:
a) Students coming from a variety of backgrounds, mostly rural,
with little exposure to English Language find it difficult to cope
with course offered in their majors.
b) Lack of Separate cabins for faculty members hinders Offclassroom Interaction with students and proper utilization of
time spent by faculty.
c) Irregular power supply obstructs the regular use of audio
visual methods of teaching.
d) Separate P.G. Centres at the University Headquarters and in

136

other colleges of the town severely restricts the inflow of P.G.

students in the department.
Opportunities:
a) A very supportive, encouraging and motivating college
administration facilitates facultys participation in conferences,
seminars and workshops.
b) The Language lab, through its sustained training programmes,
provides numerous job opportunities to students.
c) The implementation of Creative Writing and Translation
Programme is likely to prove a boon in the light of the different
demands of job market.
d) INFLIBNET and e-granthalaya are exposing faculty and
students to the hitherto unexplored world of valuable books &
journals.
Challenges:
a) To bridge the gap between students average proficiency in
English at their entry level of English required to meet the
demand of the courses they study in their majors.
b) Only five faculty members (one is on lien) against the
sanctioned strength of 16 (sixteen) struggle to cope with the
work load.
Future Plans:
a) Formation of Alumni Association.
b) Adoption of ten girl-children for grooming them to meet
challenges in future.
c) Preparation of a comprehensive plan with focus on a blend of
human values and job market relevance to neutralise the
threat posed by the onrush Private Universities.

18. Completion of Girls Hostel
19. Facilities to Physically Handicapped Students
20. More Quarters to Staff
21. Academic Audit
22. Establishment of Central Computer Lab
Out of twenty two needful improvements highlighted by the previous NAAC
PEER Team, the College has successfully met eighteen in the last couple of years.
Further, in course of the assessment of the College under various Criteria, the Peer
Team in its report raised the issue of Academic Audit under and observed No
Academic Audit has been done for the College by the University.
In this backdrop, the College constituted a Fact Finding Committee to ascertain the
readiness of the College from the point of view of its internal audit and appraisal.

198

In this light, the IQAC and the Education Council (CEC) of the College took
initiative and authorised a team of teachers of the College to frame a suitable
manual for the said audit. The framed Manual was later discussed and approved by
the CEC and was forwarded to our Parent University. After getting approval of the
latter, we proceeded for Academic Audit.
