Best Practice II
| Title of the Practice: |
The aim of this practice is to improve the results of the students. |
|
| Objectives of the Practice: |
The college is conducting a practice exam rounds before the final examination to ensure that all students are adequately prepared for their upcoming assessments. These round exams covers essential topics from each course and provide important feedback on areas where students may need additional help or support. All faculty members have been asked to review the results of this assessment in order to identify any potential gaps in student knowledge, so that they can be addressed prior to the final examination. We believe that this process gives our students an opportunity to gain valuable insight into their own academic progress and prepare them for success during their end-of-semester examinations. |
|
| The Context: |
It’s been said that practice makes man perfect. Our college is having a tradition of giving University toppers. This is possible just because of this all hard work and practice of the students and the lecturers. In order to train the students in such an equipped manner we started conducting the Round exams. |
|
| The Practice: |
Rounds are conducted of the students before 1 month of University Examination. Students undergo multiple rounds in which they are required to solve 100 marks papers. After the exams, detail discussion is done of the paper. Students are asked to make the corrections after discussion ends and a session of supervise is conducted of next day paper in the class. The papers which are set for these exams are prepared by the respective subject teachers by evaluating the past papers of the University. Teachers frame all questions which are covering all the types of questions in University exams having no options. |
|
| Evidence of Success: |
It is been observed that the students who have appeared for rounds scored more than previous year. Result of college was 100% of science department and above 95% of commerce department as an outcome of Rounds. Students secure 10 CGPA and ‘O’ grade in Final exams. Increase in Marks/Percentages as compare with last year marks. |
|
| Problems encountered and Resources required: |
We faced problems regarding the attendance of the students. This used to affect the overall performance of the practice. But in order to overcome this problem we needed to take different measures which would help to increase the presence of the students. We had to give different feedback calls to the parents, conduct P& T meet frequently and award with some rewords for 100% attendance. |
