1.4.2 – How the feedback obtained is being analyzed and utilized for overall development of the institution?
(maximum 500 words)

Feedback Obtained
The IQAC has designed the feedback form for collecting feedback and has
circulated among departments for collecting feedback, analyzing it and taking
action on it. Thus, feedback is collected from students, Employers, Alumni and
Parents individually by various departments. Feedback is collected from the
students about overall performance. The structured feedback Performa is
analyzed as per the sections viz. Campus, Canteen, Health Care Facility,
department wise etc. Feedback is regularly collected from the students
regarding Teaching–Learning and Evaluation aspects including the problems in
campus (if there is any), classrooms and hostels, examination process,
industrial training aspects, placements etc. The outcomes are analyzed and
conveyed to the concerned faculty, branch of the university and various
committees constituted in the department so that corrective measures are taken
for upgrading the quality of education. Moreover, some departments usually
contact Employers for getting their feedback on Curriculum as per market need
and demand. Also, Employers give feedback about the performance of students
during the project training during their final semesters. According to
employer’s feedback, new courses, skill development courses and upgradation of
curriculum is proposed and finalized through Board of Studies meetings.
Moreover, add on courses are also suggested to students for enhancing their
skills. Similarly, some departments contact Parents to know about their
experience and accordingly modification/improvements are tried to incorporate
in the system. In the similar way, Alumni also play vital role in helping the
departments in upgrading the curriculum as per market demands time to time.
Technology is changing at very fast pace and up gradation is also required as
per market requirement for making students ready for market as they complete
their programme. Alumni are part of Board of Studies committees.

2.3.2 – Students mentoring system available in the institution? Give details. (maximum 500 words)

Students mentoring system is available in the University. At the beginning of each semester, all classes are
allocated mentors (the faculty members of the University department). Each mentor has the responsibility of
taking care the academic and other issues related to the class. Class representatives are selected by consensus
in the class. The students individually or with the help of Class representatives present their issues to mentor and
seek advice, counselling and suggestion and help from mentor. Issues like class rooms, infrastructure, syllabus,
teachers, pedagogy, and administrative issues are usually discussed with mentors. Even if some students have
got personal problems, they feel free to discuss with their mentors and get valuable and appropriate advice from
their mentors. Mentorship programme helps students to make rapport with the teachers and inculcate cordial
relationship between the mentor and mentee. All teaching faculty members are available during the recess as
well as at other times to counsel and mentor students. Mentoring is done on professional and personal problems
as well as difficulties related to course-content, preparation for the final examination or any other issue
concerning students academic and personal lives. To achieve academic excellence all academic and moral
support is provided to each student and they are made well-equipped in their academic and professional fields
and subjects by adopting latest teaching methods with the help of Multimedia presentations, access to good art
journals, books, periodicals, magazines, catalogues, brochures, slide shows and live lecture-cum-demonstration
by eminent professional artists, print makers, sculptors, portrait painters to motivate and update their knowledge
and skills to face professional and academic challenges when they pass out and start their own professional
careers. This way the students gained enough professional competence and confidence in undertaking
professional jobs independently in their chosen and preferred fields.

institutional Website, provide link)

Sports Activities: The facilities of Sports and Physical Education are of


high standard enabling the students to excel at the national and international
level. It is because of these facilities that during the previous years,
Punjabi University has won the prestigious MAKA Trophy for many times. The Main
University Library (Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha Library): Latest books are added
regularly every year. The library is kept open for 360 days of the year from
8.15 a.m. to 8.15 p.m. every day. The library has a majestic reading hall,
which has a capacity for 400 readers where they can sit and consult reference
books and other relevant literature. Special reading rooms have been made
available for students who wish to work in calm and comfortable surroundings.
The library is actively participating in the INFLIBNET programme. The Library
has an Advisory Committee for the improvement in services and infrastructure
and allocation of funds. The committee frames regulations for the use of the
Library, scrutinises the annual budget, estimates of the Library, allocates
funds for the purchase of books and periodicals related to different subjects
against the sanctioned grants and makes recommendations there on to the Vice-
Chancellor. Librarian is always available for the users, collects their
feedback both in written form, and made in person. The staff employed in
Reference Section of the library also collect feedback. The feedback is
analysed and the services are improved accordingly. University Computer Centre
(UCC) is taken as centralised resource facilitator for computerization with an
aim to cater to the needs of the entire University. The principal objective of
UCC is to provide readily available facilities of computer milieu to students,
research scholars and teachers of the University. Its associated objective is
also to automate administrative and secretarial wings of the University. The
University has a definite policy related to subscription of internet bandwidth
form ISP, campus-wide networking, website management, annual maintenance/
service contracts, purchase of IT related equipment, staff training, conducting
viva-voce for registration/ final submission viva-voce of research scholars and
checking upon bandwidth abuse/ e-Waste Management. Budget provision in common
pool is separately available for the teaching and non-teaching departments/
branches that can be used after seeking the permission of the authorities. For
supervision and maintenance of a large number of buildings and the campus
spreading over 312 acres of land with so many classrooms and laboratories,
there is a Construction Wing Department in the University. On annual basis,
Annual Maintenance and Repair Estimate is determined. For all this, the
sanction of the concerned University authorities is mandatory. The Construction
wing of the University headed by the Executive Engineer ensures the maintenance
of the buildings, roads and all the supporting facilities provided at the
campus. The maintenance of the buildings, civil works, electrical wiring
system, internal water supply system, sewerage disposal system and the repair
and carpeting of all the roads is regularly done by the office of the executive
engineer. The University spends a massive budget on maintenance, landscaping
and horticulture related activities.

7.2 – Best Practices


7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices

Quality is the hallmark of any higher education institution. Benchmarking of


certain practices related to various stakeholders create standardization, which
ensure quality. Punjabi University, since its inception, has always set new
benchmarks. Such practices set benchmarks that create a measure for self-
improvement and are institutionalized and also some new ones introduced during
the period are as given below: Orientation of new students: Most departments
conduct structured orientation programs for the new students. This is aimed at
helping students deal with the new environment in a more productive manner.
Mandatory attendance and continuous evaluation: Records are maintained for
students’ attendance and a mandatory attendance system is followed strictly
with a system of continuous evaluation spread evenly over the semester.
Mentoring program: Teaching departments help in grooming of the students
through mentoring programs, where faculty members act as mentors and can be
approached by students for any support/ guidance. Placement Assistance: The
university has a robust central placement cell in place. This cell facilitates
campus placemats, both final and internship. There is a network of departmental
coordinators working along with the cell. This ensures a large number of
students getting placed. Counselling of students: A Student Counseling Center
has been created where help is available for students round the clock. A
student counsellor is available who deals with all matters where any
counselling is required. From time to time, other faculty members are involved
in the center. During the lockdown/ pandemic, the center initiated helplines
where students could call and seek help. Alumni Relations: Alumni Cell at the
central level and departmental efforts help in maintaining warm relations with
alumni spread around the world.
