Criterion 1: Curricular Aspects

1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 The Institution ensures effective curriculum planning and delivery through a well-planned and documented process including Academic calendar and conduct of continuous internal Assessment Response: Alder College is affiliated to Nagaland University, and hence follows the curriculum and academic calendar prescribed by the university. Within these structures, the Academic Committee and principal devise the college's academic calendar which is circulated to all the stakeholders to ensure its effective implementation. The academic calendar delineates specifically the dates and schedule for academic activities, co-curricular and extracurricular activities, holidays and tentative dates of examinations. The class routine which is prepared by the authority collaboratively with the departments is preceded by deliberation on the feasibility of delivering the allotted curriculum by calculating the number of lectures/periods available in a particular semester. Within the framework of the academic calendar, the departments work on the distribution of workload after the syllabus is perused thoroughly. Courses are allotted to teachers on the basis of the teachers' expertise and specialisation. Methodologies to be followed are contemplated upon to efficiently transmit the fundamentals and applicability of the courses to the students. ICT and e-resources in the form of PowerPoint presentations, online lectures and various platforms such as Google Classroom, Zoom, Meet and WhatsApp are used. Programme and departmental orientations are conducted to orient students about the courses, so also deliberations for newly recruited teachers aimed at equipping them on various approaches to the curriculum. IQAC has a planned mechanism in the form of the Teacher's Log Book to review curriculum delivery. The log book contains workload and time table of teachers, semestrial action plans, monthly targets and techniques used. Teachers furnish necessary details on students taught and mentored, expected learning outcomes, summative internal evaluation and completion of courses. IQAC's earnest initiative is to motivate individual departments towards maintenance of academic progress records as well as tracking faculty development every semester. Report on overall conduct of academic activities is reviewed by the Heads of Departments and submitted to authority. Continuous internal evaluation is built into the programme design as an ongoing mechanism rather than inserting schedules for activities. Consistent with the objectives of CIE, activities span throughout the semester with the faculty member designing the most reliable and contextual practices to assess students' learning within an ideal student-teacher ratio. Assignments, group discussions, quiz, presentation, seminars, tests, role plays etc. are supplemented by co-curricular activities.Attendance records of students are meticulously maintained.Notices on academic updates and mechanism of CIE are promptly notified to students. The records of marks obtained by students are then duly submitted to the affiliating university. In matters of evaluation, the college maintains the sanctity of examination with utmost sincerity and commits to appropriateness in standards of assessment. Students of different learning levels are identified and initiatives taken in raising the bar for advanced learners and motivating slow learners to achieve their highest potential. The Mentoring Cell plays an important role in providing the resources and the personnel needed to enable academic mentorship. Staff meetings are convened at regular intervals. Library resources and catalogued question papers are made accessible. At semester end, IQAC collects feedback from stakeholders to evaluate curriculum delivery.

1.3 Curriculum Enrichment
1.3.1 Institution integrates crosscutting issues relevant to Professional Ethics, Gender, Human Values, Environment and Sustainability in transacting the Curriculum Response: The college has actively participated in a transformative educational initiative over the past years, strategically incorporating crosscutting issues into its curriculum. Aligned with the syllabi designed by the affiliating University, the college systematically addresses professional ethics across various courses, notably within BA Education (EDU-602) and Political Science (POL/EL-601). These courses explore ethical considerations, giving students a foundation for informed and ethical decision-making in their future careers. In its pursuit of comprehensive education, the college has conscientiously integrated genderrelated considerations into its curriculum. Over the specified period, BA Sociology (SOC-601), BA Education (EDU-201), and BA History (HIS-503) have emerged as academic arenas where gender-related issues are thoughtfully explored. Moreover, BA English courses (ENGH-606, ENGH-301, ENG-C3/DSC-3) and BA Education (EDN-602) serve as platforms for nuanced examinations of gender dynamics. This integration extends beyond theory, including talks, interdepartmental discussions, and programs to enhance students' grasp of gender issues. Alder College not only educates but also nurtures a socially conscious environment, empowering students for meaningful contributions to gender equity. The college has embraced an environmentally conscious curriculum, emphasizing the interconnected issues of environmental hazards, sustainability, and resource valuation. Environmental studies, covered in the 5th and 6th semesters (EVS-401 and EVS-501), and Sustainable Development courses in BA Economics (ECO-602, ECO-606) and Political Science (POL-502) exemplify the institution's commitment to fostering environmental awareness. Page 27/86 09-08-2024 03:13:39 Self Study Report of ALDER COLLEGE The Eco Club complements the curriculum by promoting eco-friendly practices on campus and engaging in community initiatives, ensuring students actively participate in sustainable practices, aligning with the college’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Beyond the structured curriculum, Alder College recognizes the significance of holistic development. Interactive sessions, talks, and extracurricular initiatives organized by various departments, clubs, and cells substantially contribute to the students' overall educational experience. Units such as Students' Affairs, Women Development Cell, and the College Fellowship actively contribute to value education programs. Additionally,the institution instills social responsibility through community-oriented programs initiated by NSS, Red Ribbon, Youth Red Cross, Peace Channel, and the Eco-Club. This multifaceted approach ensures that students not only excel academically but also emerge as socially responsible individuals committed to making a positive impact on society. Looking ahead, Alder College plans to further enhance the integration of crosscutting issues under the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS)/FYUGP scheduled for implementation from 2022.This forwardthinking approach signifies the institution's commitment to remaining at the forefront of providing a wellrounded education that not only prepares students for academic success but also nurtures responsible and informed citizenship. In conclusion, the Institution serves as a paradigm of transformative education, where crosscutting issues are not mere topics within a syllabus but integral components of a comprehensive strategy to shape individuals who are cognizant, ethical, and prepared to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.5.1 Mechanism of internal/ external assessment is transparent and the grievance redressal system is time- bound and efficientResponse: The institution serves students of diverse backgrounds and abilities through effective assessment mechanism. The Examination Committee oversees the transparent and time-bound examination mechanism in the institution following university guidelines. It adheres to university internal assessment norms of 30 marks for Old Course and 25 marks for Choice Based Credit System, and 70 marks and 75 marks for external respectively. At the commencement of the academic session, proper information is given on the examination system, internal and external assessments, pass criteria, matters concerning backlog papers and so on. Teachers conduct internal activities at the stipulated time frame defined in the academic calendar. Based upon teachers' plans of action designed on meeting learning objectives and outcomes, students are oriented on the modes of examination, pattern, marks weightage etc. Prior information is given to students on the schedule of internal activities and the portion of syllabus that will be covered. Internal evaluation includes assignments, class tests, paper presentations, PPT presentation, project works, field trips, seminars, case-studies, role play, open book test, quiz, poster making, video making, debates etc. Various activities are conducted throughout the semester wherein ample freedom is given to teachers. The time duration for internal assessment and dates of submission are reflected in the academic calendar. The cumulative internal marks are prepared on the basis of marks secured by students in multiple activities. Results are declared on time, approved by Academic and the Examination Committees, and displayed on notice boards, online platforms and institutional website. Teachers give constructive feedback followed by necessary guidance through the mentor- mentee programme. Principal initiates meetings with parents/guardians of students on account of their ward's underperformance or truancy. Through such actions, parents/guardians are kept abreast of students' academic progress, and at the same time appropriate measures are taken to help demotivated students. Any discrepancy reported by a student is promptly resolved by the faculty. However, depending on the seriousness of the issues, complaints are received and forwarded to Examination Committee and authority for resolution. Certain grievances regarding attendance, victimization etc. are also taken up by Grievance Redressal Cell. Re-scheduling of internal examination is permitted depending on the genuineness of a student's reason for absence during the conduct of activities. The Principal and faculty members are open to approach from concerned parents and guardians concerning their wards' performance. External assessments are conducted by the affiliating university. The examination in-charge and Examination Committee sees to it that the confidentiality and integrity of examination are maintained throughout. The semester-end university examinations engage the participation of the faculty as invigilators and evaluators. For grievances related to external examinations, the institution adheres to instructions, rules and regulations specified by the affiliating university. Such grievances are received in written and forwarded to Nagaland University either for re- evaluation or any rectification in examination documents. For effective implementation of a transparent evaluation system, the college authority convenes staff meetings to discuss matters pertaining to examination.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes
2.6.1 Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) for all Programmes offered by the institution are stated and displayed on websiteResponse: Programme and Course Outcomes are clearly stated and communicated to the students through the syllabus book, orientations and institutional website. The institution, to cater to the holistic and comprehensive development of the students, gives utmost importance to attainment of these outcomes by students. The program outcomes are derived from the program objectives embedded in the curriculum. The importance of learning outcomes is communicated to the teachers in the staff meetings and IQAC meetings which are fairly communicated to the students by the respective departments and concerned teachers. Teachers and students are informed of the expected outcomes and objectives of the programmes even through the institutional website. Separate Department Orientations are conducted for students and teachers at the beginning of each session, wherein the program outcomes and course outcomes are deliberated meticulously. Teachers' Log book and Action Plan were prepared for each semester which are executed well in order to achieve the learning outcomes. The syllabus book provided to each student during admission contains the course objectives and outcomes which are further emphasised upon by the subject teachers. Project works, group activities, outdoor educational activities as well as other skill development activities are regularly conducted as these are significant in realising the outcomes of the programmes and courses in totality. Annual Alder Fest enhances students talents and life skills. Awareness is given to all the students with regard to the intended outcomes of such activities. Attainment of programme outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution. Evaluation procedures of the institution are done through formative and summative approach that determine the level of achievement the outcomes by students. Assessments are done through various forms such as role play, open book test, discussions, paper presentations, class tests, assignments, posters making, seminars, debates, case studies, film and book reviews, PowerPoint presentations, museum visits, simulated teaching, micro teaching, project works, field trips etc. In order to prioritize attainment of the expected outcomes of learning, the institution gives effort that inputs and feedback are provided to students after identifying their strengths and weaknesses thereby widening the scope for improvement. Students who are demotivated and are experiencing learning hurdles are offered guidance through their respective mentors. Slow learners are permitted to improve their marks or performances through reassignments and additional works. Formative assessment encourages exchange of learning goals and healthy interaction among students and teachers. Students are also encouraged to self-assess, critically evaluate their own progress or do peer assessment as this leads to identification of gaps in their comprehension and capabilities. Efforts are made to develop meta-cognitive skills in students to enable them to organize their thought processes and solve problems. Institution follows summative assessment as final assessment is conducted in the form of end-semester university examination. Upon declaration of results, the performance of students is duly analysed and discussions on further improvements are done.

2.6.2
2.6.2 Attainment of POs and COs are evaluated. Explain with evidence in a maximum of 500 wordsResponse: The expected outcomes of a programme are defined at different levels as programme outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes. The most important aspect of an outcome is to be observable and measurable. The attainment of these serves as the impetus to the institution's rigorous process of evaluation that runs parallel to continuous assessment activities.The level of attainment of outcomes is measured and evaluated across various dimensions throughout the semesters. Orientations of courses are organized by the departments providing insight into the course objectives and specifically focussing on the programme and course outcomes that students are meant to attain at the end of a course or programme. A continuous process of evaluation is in place to assess students' performance and their achievement level of programme and course outcomes. Some internal activities conducted are assignments, critical analysis of texts, projects, case-studies, paper presentation, class-tests, viva, open-book tests, book reviews, video-making, quizzes, debates, role-play, field study and project report writing. Teachers’ log books contain action plans and records on their execution which are maintained to ensure the efficiency of course implementation as well as to see to it that the pedagogy is in sync with specific outcomes. Students' attendance data is strictly maintained by the faculty as attendance is considered to be of paramount importance. Revisional classes are conducted to clarify doubts and enhance students' proficiency. Teachers employ different strategies to assist students to achieve the POs and COs. Discussions and reviews of performance in internal activities enable students to improve their performances in University semester examinations. Theoretical knowledge is integrated with empirical experiences through seminars, skill development programmes, workshops, extension activities etc. which gives the students better understanding of the content. The Mentoring Cell plays a significant role in supporting students to improve their skills and scholastic aspects of their studies, and further motivate them towards their future career. The mentoring programme efficiently identifies students' learning levels, and thereby address their issues appropriately. Internal assessment is carried out basing on the percentage weightage offered by Nagaland University ie 30% (semester system- Old Course) and 25% (CBCS and FYUGP). Accordingly, students are given the opportunity to participate in different activities. Result analysis of each course is carried out at the end of each semester. This serves as an effective indicator in evaluating the level of attainment of Program Outcomes, Program Specific Outcome and Course Outcomes as specified by the University. Through the result analysis of End Semester University Examination, the institution measures the attainment of program outcomes by the students. In order to comprehend if programme outcomes attained have resulted in substantial achievement, the institution keeps track of students progression and placement. The institution has an effective alumni network of people actively engaged in various fields, higher studies, research, serving as government servants teachers, politicians, entrepreneurs etc.

3.2 Innovation System
3.2.1 Institution has created an ecosystem for innovations, Indian Knowledge System (IKS),including awareness about IPR, establishment of IPR cell, Incubation centre and other initiatives for the creation and transfer of knowledge/technology and the outcomes of the same are evident Response: Despite the challenges of being an arts-only college, the institution has successfully cultivated an innovative ecosystem. One remarkable achievement is the integration of Naga traditional wrestling into its annual sports week, a feat not undertaken by other educational institution in the state. This initiative has now evolved into an annual intercollegiate event, showcasing the institution's commitment to preserving local traditions and fostering a sense of community engagement through sports. Additionally, the college has devised a distinctive approach to celebrating its annual festival, the Alder Fest, by inviting both the local community and outsiders to set up stalls and actively participate in the festivities. These initiatives not only showcase the college's commitment to embracing traditional practices but also demonstrate its ability to engage and collaborate with diverse stakeholders to enrich its cultural and social landscape. The college is proposing an innovative initiative aimed at instilling traditional values and practices through crafts among students. This program proposal entails providing students with cane and bamboo materials, empowering them to explore and invent various patterns, styles, and designs from these raw materials according to their creative ideas. Additionally, there is a proposal to develop a separate curriculum specifically tailored for this purpose. Workshops will be organized for students, featuring guest lecturers or experts who will provide guidance and insights into the opportunities and scopes within this field. Moreover, product service training will be offered to create awareness about marketing the crafted products effectively. The objective of establishing the Incubation Center is to facilitate students in transforming their ideas into tangible craft, weaving, and looming innovations, thereby fostering entrepreneurial skills and promoting cultural preservation through hands-on experience.

Alder College Alumni Association was formed by a group of the college's past pupils who had learned to serve the society in general and Alder College in particular. While the association has not been formally registered till date, serious consideration is being made in the direction. The association was formed to establish a sense of oneness and the spirit of sharing aspirations with the college. The association was formed in 2012 with Mr. James Yalie as the President, Mr. Kheto Yeptho as the Vice-President, Ms. Loreni Tsanglao as the Secretary, Ms. Abeni as the Joint Secretary and Mrs. Adono Chucha as the Treasurer. The mission of the Alder College Alumni Association (ACAA) is to connect the past students with Alder College Students Union and the college as a whole. The goals of the ACAA are to build tradition, foster student and alumni interaction, serve the diverse needs and interests of our community, and establish a lifelong connection between ACAA members and the institution. The Association has, since its inception, undertaken various seminars, awareness programmes and endeavours to prepare the current students for the future. Mrs Ayieno Kechu, Media Officer to the Chief Minister of Nagaland engaged with the college by providing nuggets of wisdom learned through her vast experiences in the form of various talks. Mr. Chiset Disong was instrumental in designing the college uniform. Several members of the faculty have come back to serve the college with the passion to nurture future generations. The alumni have been instrumental in giving the students a proper sense of direction in numerous fields keeping in mind that the curriculum does not encompass all aspects of life and living. The alumni have met on several occasions. One such was the reunion of the first Alderians (1992- 1994) batch at Khruomo Mechuki Tsiatsuphe, Kohima on 15th October 2021. The first batch of the college participated in the unveiling of a souvenir, delivery of speeches and the election of office bearers of the batch.Alder College has an effective alumni network that facilitates significant contribution from the stakeholders. The alumni actively participate in the institution's activities and voluntarily render assistance in conducting college events and programmes hosted by the college.

7.2 Best Practises
7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format provided in the Manual.Response: 1. Title of the Practice.Mentor-Mentee Programme2. Objectives of the Practice Being a degree college, majority of the students enrolled are at a vulnerable age when issues such as emotional difficulties, relationships, time management and behaviour are sensitive topics. With focus on overall development of the students, the college introduced the Mentor-Mentee Programme to guide students at a personal level and monitor the academic progress of the students. It also seeks to improve human interaction on the campus. The programme was founded on mutual respect between student and teacher. Another important aim of this programme is to minimize dropouts by ensuring that the mentee achieves emotional stability and motivation, better discipline, better academic profile and increased participation in the activities. It is further aimed at providing personal counseling in complete confidence. Through the programme parents/guardians are updated on students' performance. It offers a corrective to erring students and motivation to others. 3. The Context This programme was taken up keeping the welfare of the student in mind. However, as is with any new programme, it had its initial challenges. An issue was the insufficient number of senior teachers to manage it. The introduction of the new programme also meant additional work load for the teachers for whom time management became a pressing issue. Fair division of mentees to teachers also became a challenge. Meeting the parents/guardians every semester was challenging. Most importantly, students have to be made to comprehend the importance of programme. However, inspite of all the above mentioned challenges, the institution came to acquire the expertise of handling the programme.4. The Practice Students are assigned to their teacher mentors. A mentee profile details the students personal, academic information. Students are encouraged to confide in their mentors with their personal and academic issues. The mentor highlights the objectives of the college and helps the student understand the organizational culture. Learning levels of the students are identified through this programme and guidance is given accordingly. Potential performers in arts and extracurricular activities are identified. This programme also facilitates communication between the students and the administration with the mentor playing the role of a mediator. Meetings with parents/guardians are convened annually and students report card is handed out. Feedbacks from parents/guardians are received during such meeting. This programme significantly improved students discipline. 5. Evidence of Success: The programme helps the college in fulfilling its objective of wholesome development of the students. Tremendous improvement is seen in the overall performance and attendance of the students. Mutual respect among the students and between student-teacher has also been facilitated. This programme has also brought about a humanizing environment on campus and motivated students to give more participation in the college activities. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Scheduling mentor-parents meet proved to be challenging. Students joining the college after study gaps faced confusion when assigned to new mentors. Cases of students turning up with people impersonating their guardians. It is time consuming for the Principal to formally meet parent/guardian of each defaulter. Student volunteers are required assist in organizing such meetings. 1.Title of the practice: Grievance Redressal System 1.Objectives To provide opportunities for redressal of grievances of students already enrolled in the institution, as well as those seeking admission to the institutions, and a mechanism thereto. To provide staff and students access to immediate, hassle free resolution of grievances. To provide a platform for students to express their concerns and grievances freely without fear of being victimized. To provide responsive, accountable and accessible mechanism for redressal of grievances. 1.Context Pursuant to the University Grants Commission Notification, 2023, [UGC (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations] issued in The Gazette of India on 11 April 2023, the college has amended its policy and guidelines in conformity with the mentioned Regulations of the UGC with an aim to address the grievances of its students. Central to these guidelines is the continued working of the Grievance Redressal Cell, Alder College, Kohima, constituted in July 2015. Under graduate students are confounded by diverse issues, at times their frustrations are aggravated by their inability to voice out their feelings making them feel unseen and unheard. Such repressed resentment and anger can lead to serious negative impact in life. 1.The Practice The Grievance Redressal Cell (GRC) is constituted by the Principal as the Chairman/Chairperson of the cell. Members include the Vice- Principal, senior most faculty, student counsellor and executives of the student’s union and two class representatives from each class.All students have access to GRC to voice their complaints and concerns.

 7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness
7.3.1 Portray the performance of the Institution in one area distinctive to its priority and thrust within 1000 words Response: A distinctive feature of the college is the Naga Wrestling. It is a popular traditional Naga sport chiefly played by the Tenyimia Nagas, a conglomerate tribe(s) consisting of the Angami, Chakhesang, Zeliang, Rengma, Pochury, Maram, Zeme, Liangmai, Rongmei, Poumai and Mao, etc. It is a belt type of wrestling as wrestlers tie a piece of cloth around their waist from which opponents lift one another before toppling the other on the ground. In this game, mental strength and physical prowess is tested. Hence, it is not enough to be physically strong to defeat a fellow competitor. But one also has to be strong mentally . In the past, a wrestling bout was staged to settle scores, to display physical superiority over the others. Disputes between two or more person or even villages and between tribe(s) on private matters, or even land disputes were settled through a wrestling contest. Hence, the Naga wrestling is not just a sport in itself, but it is also an instrument of arbitration in the community. What is however, more significant is the social values built around it. Friendship, humility and comradeship are encouraged. As such the community participates in the spirit of friendship. A competitor faces another competitor as 'Beloved Friend' or “Khrietho-u” in Tenyidie, the official dialect of Nagaland's Tenyimia community, and not as an opponent. The basic objective in introducing Naga Wrestling is to preserve and promote the indigenous game while providing opportunity to our students to pursue sports alongside academic excellence. This way, the college seeks to be socially responsive by transmitting the culture and tradition of the Naga tribes. It is also hoped that the students will learn to appreciate and take interest in the traditional Naga sports that are dying. Our college has incorporated this sport in the co-curricular activity of the college in a concerted manner. Since 2013, it has been a regular feature in the Annual Sports Week. And since then, there are encouraging visible achievement and progress. Our record shows that the number of participants has increased from eleven (11) to twenty-eight (28) from its inception till date. Initially, the participants were from Tenyimia tribes, but over the years, the event has attracted students even from other tribe(s). In 2021, a Lotha and an Ao student participated. Similarly, in 2023, we had a participant from the Sema Tribe as well. This is a significant achievement because now the sport is extending beyond the traditional boundary of the Tenyimia fold. Today, our college has also taken the sport beyond the walls of the college campus by organising the First ever Inter-Collegiate Wrestling Competition in the year 2022. This is perhaps the first wrestling competition held in the state at the college and university level. In its first edition, wrestlers from eleven (11) colleges participated. They are – Baptist college, Don Bosco College, Sazolie College, Kohima College, Kohima, Mount Olive College, Modern College Kohima, St. Joseph's college and Oriental college. In total there were twenty-eight (28) participants. There is a wrestling competition organizing committee in place in the institution to oversee the growth of the wrestling sport in the college as well to plan and execute the conduct of the event. It is led by a group of college assistant professors with participation from the students. Besides, the organisational preparedness, financial allocation was made for the purpose. A sum of rupees one (1) lakh was allocated for this purpose. Admittedly, resource mobilisation has been a challenge since the college is a private institution. But we intend to take it forward as an important distinctive activity of the college. We have also entered into partnership with the Naga Wrestling Association, which is a state level Association that promotes the sport in the state and is duly recognised by the state government. As part of the partnership, the Naga Wrestling Referee Board sends its members as officials to our college events. The Angami Wrestling Association, a constituent member of the Naga Wrestling Association also extends its support in our endeavours. Our vision is to establish a state of the art facility for training and development of our students in future. In due course of time, this facility will also be extended to any registered student from other colleges as well. For this, efforts will be made to rope in professional wrestlers to give quality training to students.Today, Naga Wrestling competition is one of the biggest events of the college in term of scale of preparation and fund allocation for students development. It has also become a way of connecting with educational institutions in the district for promotion of sports and furthering the goal of a holistic development in students. Additionally, it has also given us a new opportunity and experience to partner with sporting agency beyond the academic space.
