t) Ragging free campus: The winners of FRESHERISM (a two week long in-house mega talent hunt competition for the new students joining the College) are groomed for the post of Management Trainees under the guidance of senior students. This develops a tremendous sense of camaraderie between senior and junior students, thus eliminating any instances of ragging. WEAKNESSES The identified weaknesses of the College are: a) Consultancy and projects: The consultancy activities need to be enhanced and departments have to get more projects on consultation basis. The procurement of consultancy projects is a challenge owing to the absence of industries in the immediate vicinity of the College. b) Collaboration with reputed HEIs: At present the College does not have collaboration with any National or International Higher Education Institutions due to challenges in transfer of credits and student exchange. c) Research and Development activities: All departments have to realize the research potential in their fields, conduct more research and publish the same. Fashion design, Tourism and Hotel Management are new age courses and hence research activities in these sectors are slower compared to other fields. d) Syllabus upgradation: Frequent upgradation of syllabus on par with the standards in international institutions does not happen as the onus is on the Affiliating University. e) Influx of students: The College would like to attract meritorious students for its new age courses, but the trend is to opt towards the conventional courses following herd mentality. f) Slow growth in the immediate locality: The area around the College is still laid back and there is slow growth. As a result the College is not able to tap the local student community. OPPORTUNITIES The identified opportunities for the College are: a) Acquire 2b and 2f status from UGC: The College has submitted the application to UGC for acquiring 2b and 2f status. b) Research potential: The two Research Centres of the College approved by the Bangalore University have enabled the College to have a high potential for research. Faculty members yet to get PhD, can get qualified. c) More research centres: The College will strive for establishing research centres in Hotel Management and Media Studies. d) PG Courses: The College will make efforts to commence PG course in Fashion and Apparel Design and Commerce. e) Extend Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) activities: The College shall be extending the activities of the EDC to commence an Incubation Centre. f) Recognition of Stalwarts: The College will strive to set up sponsored ‘Chairs’ in the name of stalwarts in the fields of the respective Departments in the College. g) Collaboration with foreign universities: The College will make efforts in collaborating with foreign universities. CHALLENGES The identified challenges for the College are:
Garden City College of Science and Management Studies | Re-Accreditation Report - NAAC
9 Executive Summary | 2015
a) Lack of progressive courses: The College is not able to offer courses in progressive fields such as Nanotechnology, Food Technology and Sports Management, since it is not offered by the Affiliating University. b) Lack of short term courses: The Affiliating University has very limited number of short term Diploma or Certificate courses. c) Migration of faculty members: The College believes in making its faculty members multi-skilled, i.e., they are given inputs to develop not only academically, but also in co-curricular aspects. They are groomed to shoulder responsibilities beyond the curriculum to enhance their calibre and realize their true potential. The competitor colleges draw such trained faculty members of this College by various unethical methods. d) Response to pure sciences: There is poor response of students to pure sciences and this poses a challenge in filling seats in some courses in field of Life Sciences. e) Procuring research funding: At present, the College management funds most of the research projects. There is need to procure funded projects from external agencies. f) Mushrooming of institutions: Despite the world class education provided at the College, it faces competition from institutions that are able to attract students using unethical methods. Such institutions have lately mushroomed in South India. g) Lack of guidance to school students: There is lack of a proper guidance system for school students on aptitude based choice of courses in higher education.

Multiple factors can be discerned for the increase/decrease in demand ratio. Some of them are as follows: 1. Keeping in view the demand for MBA course, the number of seats is increased over the years. The College is highly reputed and admission of students in different branches depends on their market values and placement prospects, the variation in MBA course admission is negligible. 2. Courses like BCom, BCA, BBA and BSc Biotechnology, Biochemistry and Genetics are being offered by almost every other college in the city and the suburban areas. Hence, the demand ratio has come down. 3. Courses like BSc and MSc Biotechnology and Microbiology have researchorientation and therefore employability potential soon after graduation is relatively less. 4. Due to decreased demand ratio, the below mentioned courses have been discontinued. This is the general trend observed in the jurisdiction of Bangalore University too.

•
• •
The academic performance of students is continuously monitored through internal evaluation, seminars, workshops and conferences, all of which carry a given weightage, which is consolidated as the internal marks to be submitted to the Affiliating University. The Counselling Centre has qualified counsellor to help the students as and when they approach for personal counselling. The assessment made by the Mentors and the close interaction between the student and class teachers helps the college to identify these students from the disadvantaged section of society, slow learners, physically challenged, economically weaker sections etc. from the risk of drop out. Mentors and teachers counsel such students. Each mentor is responsible for the holistic development and welfare of about 20-30 students.

2.3
The results are analyzed and those students who do not qualify in the internal evaluation are personally counselled to find out the reason for the learning gap. Slow learners are identified and given individual attention and guidance by the teachers. Peer learning is adopted with such students and has been found to be beneficial. Their parents are kept in the loop with information on assignments and progress in classes. Class teachers counsel the students who are irregular to the classes. As a preventive measure, parents are informed via ‘sms’ regarding their ward’s absence on a daily basis. Wherever the reasons are genuine, like prolonged illness, extra classes are conducted. During the parent teacher meeting (PTM), teachers interact with the parents to find out the reasons for their ward not doing well in studies or continued absenteeism. This has helped build a rapport among the parents, students and teachers and in turn it has helped in decreasing the rate of absenteeism and drop outs. Teaching-Learning Process

The College has both formative and summative assessment approaches to measure student achievements. Formative assessment involves primary and fundamental assessment of the academic and nonacademic activities of the students. Internal examinations, assignments and attendance are the three criteria for providing the continuous assessment mark to the students. Internal examinations are carried out as per the academic calendar and convenient scheduled dates of the college. Seminars, paper presentations, debates, group discussions and submission of hard copy document is a must to acquire assignment marks. It is a prerogative of the teacher concerned to provide adequate exercises to assess the performance of the students. Attendance is strict and is taken in the beginning of every class hour and a minimum of 75% attendance is a must for every student in every semester as obligatory criteria to appear for the University examinations. Notable performances and participation in the various club activities of the College is also taken into consideration for the formative assessment of the students. The summative assessment is done by the University in the form of University examinations. It is carried out at two levels. The end semester evaluation comprises of a theory examination with a duration of three hours. Students have practical/project/dissertation, viva- voce examinations conducted by external examiners appointed by the University. Prior to the practical and viva- voce examination conducted by the University, the College ensures that model viva- voce and practical sessions are carried out by every department. The model examinations in theory, practical and viva- voce augment the learning and performing capabilities of the students. It is a result of such rigorous and disciplined training sessions that the students have been able to acquire University ranks at both UG and PG levels. The cumulative assessment is based on the performance of the students in the formative and summative assessments. The innovative methods adopted by the faculty for the teaching-learning process has contributed immensely to the progressive development of the students. Their participation in seminars, paper presentations, workshops, debates and group discussions enable them to acquire a comprehensive personality to perform and excel in much broader vistas.

course at the College. The awards are conducted as nominations and then voting by Gardenians and teachers. The awards are a way of rewarding the students for their exemplary contribution to the College. 9. National Young Mind’s Movement- NYMM is a robust format designed around experiential learning in a mode that the present generation understands 10.

Left Right Centre (LRC) – This works on the concept – ‘you may be wrong but you have a chance to express’. Rendering this very essence, to engrave onto the minds of the future leaders, to vanquish hesitation and fear that stops one from voicing out, there emerged the platform titled ‘Left Right & Centre’, a unique forum for the students who have been deprived of earning an opportunity to discourse their opinion in front of a public and removing their inhibitions by standing on a 4 x 4 podium on campus and speaking their heart out on the microphone, alienating the fear grabbed in their minds. So far, the LRC forum has seen 47 students who are first timers in speaking in an organised public forum. 15. Forum for Educationists, Students and teachers in Asia (FESTA) - It is a platform for all educationist, students & teachers to come forward and discuss the issues and challenges prevailing in the Asian Education Network. The first of its kind, FESTA has been initiated by the College in Bangalore & similar meets are proposed for Sri Lanka & Bhutan within a period of one year. The underlying intention of organizing the meet is that it would bring all like-minded people under one platform to address the recent trends and challenges in the education network of India. 16. You Tube Channel – Against a backdrop of lush green ambience and a campus far from the maddening crowd, in an atmosphere of intellectual richness and openness, through remarkable relationships and experiences of many kinds, this College changes lives. Academic brilliance can be found not only being imparted by the intellectual capital in the four walls of the class but students have the opportunity of watching their mentors and teachers on the College You Tube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/gardencitycollegeit .

7.3 Best Practices 7.3.1
Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the College.
Among the many healthy, innovative practices, the two best practices the College wants to highlight are:I. II.
Management Trainee GCC CREATE
BEST PRACTICE - I 1. Title of the Practice: Management Trainee 2. Goal of the practice: To encourage the students to participate, learn how to plan, organize and to conduct events. To channelize the leadership qualities in students To provide experiential learning of practical aspect of their class room sessions. To make students more employable because such responsibilities make them proactive and ‘smart workers’, the two basic traits that any employer looks for during placement. 3. The Context: : In today's scenario, employees are not instructed as to what they are supposed to do anymore. The whole idea revolves around not dictating but to inspire and empower. The College aims to kindle within, the flames of one's leadership qualities. Leadership development is needed to successfully take charge of a team in today's business world. The Management Trainee program aims at instilling the art of leading and become managers that create confident, empowered and enthusiastic teams. A plethora of events unfold throughout the year at the College and the same is managed by the students under the guidance of a faculty convenor. From the inception till the implementation, all activities are carried out by the Management Trainee students. 4. The Practice: Students from across the streams are selected, given the designation of Management Trainee (MT) and allotted the main responsibilities. These MTs then build up their team of students and handle the events. 5. Evidence of success: A minimum of 78 programs in a year are conducted without involving any external agency or being outsourced from anywhere. An enormous amount of camaraderie that develops between senior and junior students is an indication of a successful practice. Success of the practice is also evident when employers prefer to recruit students of the College in their organizations, lauding the performance of the alumni of the College. 6. Problems encountered and resources required- No Problems have been encountered till date.

BEST PRACTICE - II 1. Title of the Practice: GCC CREATE 2. Goal of the practice: To enhance Practical Exposure Quotient (PEQ) that would arm students to be employable in their respective stream or areas of interest. 3. The Context: GCC CREATE (Culture, Region, Evolution and Tradition in Education) is a unique concept followed in the College by which the students and faculty are richly benefited and exhibit better inter team coordination among the Departments. This activity enhances the employability of the students once they finish their course. 4. The Practice: The concept of GCC CREATE is that every Department provides one faculty and five students in consultation with the program convener to contribute to an event conducted by the College. 5. Evidence of Success- The concept is practised by all the departments, to quote an example, for an event, Kannada Day, the Department of FAD shall provide video/photographs of various traditional dresses worn by people of Karnataka and decorate the venue according to theme, the Department of Life Science shall provide samples of various kind of crops grown in Karnataka, the Department of Media studies prepares the press release and handles the photography, videography and live webcasting, the Department of Hotel Management shall prepare and serve dishes showcasing the traditional cuisine of Karnataka etc. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources RequiredNo problems have been encountered till date.
Notes (Optional) Any other information that may be relevant and important to the reader for adopting/ implementing the Best Practice in their Institution (about 150 words) The GCCSMS Grand Parade- The Grand Parade is conducted department-wise to honour loving and caring parents of the students, a salute to their affection, untiring efforts and incomparable sacrifices. Alumni and corporate guests are also honoured. The GCCSMS Grand Parade includes - Guard of honour, Flag presentation to the Parents of Honour, Parade inspection, March past, Band display, Lowering of the flag, Flag folding ceremony and Handing over the flag by the Parents of Honour.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strengths: Bangalore University’s choice based credit system provides an excellent course structure to make the students work-ready, when they complete their graduation. Enrichment courses provided by industry to students. The department has MOUs with leading software companies. All teachers have undergone training on teaching methodology to impart skills related to IT industry by Infosys, IGate Patni and Cognizant. Weaknesses: Need to focus on more research The faculty members need to enhance their academic updates by attending refresher courses, national and international seminars and publish papers. Opportunities: Use of latest online resources to supplement teaching pedagogy. Opportunities for students to pursue higher studies abroad are high. Challenges: Decrease in demand of Computer Science course due to fluctuations in IT industry Constant changes in technology Future Plans: Establishing industry / academic interactions and collaborations with Regional /state level/ national / international organizations Create and provide better opportunities for our faculty and students to engage in professional consultancy services to the public sectors, governments as well as multinational sectors. To promote students exchange program with foreign universities and corporate industries.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strengths Increase in the FDI in News and Entertainment Expected more number of jobs in the coming years Weaknesses Acceptance as a profession is limited Not much awareness among the takers about the course The course itself is challenging in terms of physically and mentally. There is no time bound activity. Therefore, the candidates taking up this course are few and limited. Opportunities The industry is growing and number of opportunities are created in a global media scenario.

Weaknesses:
Students from non-science background find it difficult to cope with subjects such as chemical wet processing, textile testing and non-woven textiles.
Opportunities:

Through various such activities in which students are participating, they have got a lot of exposure which in turn helps in their placements and higher education. Students are well focused in the fashion field through various activities in which they are involved.
Challenges:
To reduce the huge gap between institutions and industries through curriculum

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities The Department of Languages in association with Mission 5, is proudly associated with several social causes, be it visiting orphanages and educating children or collecting funds for their education. Jeevith Ananth Ashram, located near St. Anthony’s church, in T C Palya, is one such recipient of the noble gesture extended by the students and faculty. Home to more than 35 children, between ages 2 – 15 years, this orphanage is run by Mrs. Mary. The faculty members sponsor the education of children. In the past years too, it had sponsored education – in association with Mission 5 - for children studying in various schools, namely St. Anthony’s School in Bosconagar, St. Gasper’s School in Medahalli and Munishwara School in Avalhalli. Besides that, notebooks, pencils, pens, school bags, Braille papers, carom and ludo boards have been donated to St. Anthony’s School, Jeevitha Anathashram and Sri Rakum School for the Blind. Not only that staples and essentials have been donated to these institutions. Elderly homes such as Sai Krupa Vridhashram, have been the beneficiaries of this department. Staples, medicines, glucometers have been made available to them, courtesy, the Department of Languages. Students of III and V semester taught English to the underprivileged children at Sishu Mandir every Wednesday's between 2-4 pm during the academic year 2013-14 and 2014-15.

SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strengths Panel of expert guest lecturers Lots of research work undertaken in the department. Staff members engaged in paper publications in reputed journals and presentations in various national and international seminars and conferences. University Result – high percentage of pass, consistency in maintaining good academic results Annual International Conference organized regularly with more than 300 – 400 participants attending every year. Department Journal, Luminaire (ISSN: 2249 2542), published every year. Annual Literary and Theatre week on various themes celebrated every year Weakness Foreign students and students from vernacular mediums find it difficult to cope up with compulsory English papers. Hence, results in the first 2 semesters usually tend to decline. Efforts are made to improve their communication skills. Bangalore University regulations make it compulsory for students to take the Language which they have studied in the 12th/PUC. Many students who are not proficient in Kannada, Sanskrit, etc. find it difficult to cope up with the syllabus. Opportunity The competency of different languages taught in the department help students to develop their skills for professional jobs and competitive exams. Linkage with premier organizations like ELTAI, The American library etc. can help faculty members and students to explore broader horizons of linguistic skills. Challenge Training students in English with hardly any background knowledge of the subject (Foreign nationals and students from vernacular mediums). 1. 2. 3. 4.
Future Plans: To encourage more faculty members to complete Ph.D. in the department To increase the number of publications by faculty members. To take up major and minor Research projects. To conduct more workshops and certificate programs pertaining to theatre and linguistic skills 5. To take up more translation projects

POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES Garden City College of Science and Management Studies upholds the ethos of continuous improvement towards excellence. All strategies are focused to enrich the academic and administrative functioning of the College. Concrete steps have been undertaken to implement the recommendations of the Peer Team Report for quality enhancement. The post accreditation initiatives based on the recommendations are outlined below.
1. Curricular Aspects
Mechanism for obtaining feedback on curriculum from all stakeholders may be strengthened. The Bangalore University, in order to improve the curriculum design as per UGC guidelines has invited the parents and students and teachers of top 10 colleges in and around Bangalore to obtain their feedback on the curriculum design and improvement through a workshop on ‘Formulating the National Higher Education Qualification Framework’. The meeting was held on 8.1.2015. Garden City College of Science and Management Studies was identified as one of the top ten colleges and the students and faculty members attended the meeting. Feedback on curriculum is collected during the mentoring sessions by the faculty mentors. Online student feedback is taken once in every semester through the Student portal in the College website. Faculty members of few Department of the College are members of BOS, BOE and Syllabus review committee in the Affiliating University. The feedback collected from students through HODs and subject teachers is conveyed through them to the Affiliating University. Feedback of the alumni members is collected online through the Alumni page on the College website and also during the Annual Alumni Association meetings. Periodic Parent Teacher Meetings are conducted every year and these serve as a platform for feedback from parents. Online feedback through the College website is also collected. The feedback of the employers is collected after campus interviews organised by the Placement Cell.
2. Teaching – Learning and Evaluation
SC/ST admission needs to be increased substantially by undertaking special efforts. Seats are reserved for SC/ST candidates according to norms laid down in notifications by the Bangalore University and Government of Karnataka. Students

are guided regarding procurement of scholarships from various institutions/boards by the College. The College management also aids them financially. For all PG courses, under the University quota, the Bangalore University itself selects students from SC/ST category. In the admission advertisements every year and also the college brochure, special mention is made communicating the reservation availability for SC/ST students. The increase in percentage of SC/ST students from the last accreditation period is shown below:

3. Research Consultancy and Extension Major and minor research projects need to be supported by the management by providing more budget. The College is a self-financed institution. Majority of the research projects, major and minor are supported by the management. A total amount of 38 Lakhs was allocated for a period of 5 years from 2010 – 2015 for the purpose of research and upgrading the R & D Lab infrastructure. The management has provided Rs. 77,150/as seed money for projects. The details can be referred to in Criteria III, 3.2.1 and 3.2.2. 4. Student Support and Progression Student participation in sports and games needs improvement. The participation of students in sports and games has improved significantly and it is evident in the considerable number of events won at various levels.

5. Institutional weaknesses
Being a self-financed college, limited accessibility for students from marginalised sections of society The admission of SC/ST students has been addressed under point no. 2 above. Being a self-financed college, the fees charged is higher than that charged by Government funded colleges which are subsidised by the Government. Garden City College of Science and Management Studies | Re-Accreditation Report - NAAC
Post Accreditation Initiatives | 2015
Need to augment research activities and publication output The College has made significant efforts to augment research activities and publication by faculty members. There are 7 external projects completed by the Department of Life Sciences and 57 internal projects by all Departments. There are 187 paper publications by faculty members. The faculty members have published 27 books/journals with ISBN/ISSN respectively. Please refer Criteria III, 3.4.3 and the Evaluative Reports of Departments for details.
Extension activities and consultancy services to reach society at large The College has undertaken significant number of activities and consultancy services to reach society at large. The details can be referred to in Criterion III. The Department of Media Studies has made the Corporate Video for Bangalore University during the occasion of the University’s Golden Jubilee celebrations. The Department of Computer Science has conducted Training of Police Personnel from across Bangalore City on “Office Automation and Internet Usage” on 23rd and 24th September 2011. The students of BSc. Fashion and Apparel Design undertook costume designing using Khadi fabrics to promote Khadi. The same collection of garments was presented in a fashion show at Freedom Park on 09/02/14, as part of Khadi Week Celebrations to the general public.
