2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 The Institution adheres to the academic calendar for the conduct of Continuous Internal
Evaluation and ensures that it is robust and transparent
Response:
Our institution follows the curriculum of parent university which covers curricular, co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities. The academic calendar of events is planned for undergraduates and postgraduates by
the college curriculum committee. For each academic year theory blocks, complete block, partial block,
internal examination schedule, vacation, extracurricular and co-curricular activities are planned and
implemented.
The faculty members prepare the lesson plans and the timetable as per the syllabus and evaluation process
for each subject with the consent of the head of the department. The class coordinators execute the
programme as per the calendar of events and monitor the programme, evaluate and document the same.
The internal assessment schedule is displayed on the notice board in the classroom for the respective
academic year. The internal exams are conducted strictly adhering to the norms laid down by the parent
university.
All the departmental heads forward the question paper prepared by the faculty in a sealed cover two days
prior to the examination to the Principal for approval. After the class test is conducted by the faculty
members, it is evaluated within a week, submitted to the Principal and displayed on the notice board. Each
individual student is given suggestions to improve their performance in the subsequent tests.
Students class tests performances are continuously assessed as an ongoing evaluation and taken for the
cumulative internal assessment for the university examination. Students with low performance are
identified and extra tests and coaching are given to improve their performance in order to boost up their
internal assessment marks. Parents –teachers meetings are organized 3 times /year and a progress report is
discussed with them which include their marks and attendance. The student’s logbooks and their clinical
performance are evaluated by the faculty members and transparency is maintained for the calculation of
marks.
Page 43/131 27-10-2021 09:54:54

Each head of the department collects the mark statements from the respective faculty members, prepare the
cumulative evaluation and submit to the Principal. Practical examination and OSCE are conducted by the

2.5.2 Mechanism to deal with examination related grievances is transparent, time-bound and
efficient
Response:
The institute follows a three-layer system to address the examination–related grievances.
Tier I: The faculty members under each department have the first authority over grievances pertaining to
continuous internal assessment. The common grievances like erroneous total, missed evaluation of any
question are corrected by the evaluator. The students are informed to approach the respective teacher for
exam-related grievances. The teacher explains the question paper, answer and her / his shortfalls with the
key answer to help the student to gain clarity.
Tier II: If the student is not satisfied with the explanation given by the faculty he/she can request for a
review by the Head of the department who is authorized to address and resolve any grievances related to
the continuous internal examination at the level of the department.
Tier III: If the student is not satisfied still he/she can report in writing to the Principal who is a head of the
institution and chairperson of the student's Grievance redressal committee. This committee comprises
various heads of the department and student representatives. The committee will hear the petition of the
appellant and decide the course of action to rectify it.
The institution adheres to the calendar of events of the institution to conduct the internal assessment and
students are informed about the schedule well in advance. The schedule of the exam is prepared by the
faculty in charge and approved by the Principal before it is displayed on the notice board. The question
paper is submitted to the Principal by the concerned department head and kept in the sealed cover at the
Principal office. The sealed cover is handed over to the exam invigilator 15 minutes prior to the
commencement of the examination and the seal is opened at the exam hall in front of the students. The
completed answer sheets are handed over to the respective head of the department for evaluation. The
Page 44/131 27-10-2021 09:54:54

marks awarded to the students are displayed in the notice board within a week with their percentage of
attendance.
Summative evaluation:
The university exam results are published on the university website on an average of 30 days after the
examination. Reevaluation of answer script is not permitted as double evaluation is done at university
valuation centre but re totalling can be done as per the norms of the university. The university issues the
photocopy of answer scripts to undergraduates and postgraduates on request, for their self-assessment and
reference in order to improve their level performance in the future. The application should be sent only in
prescribed form through the head of the institution with the Xerox copy of the mark sheet. If there is any
grievances/complaints mail can be sent through the proper channel to the controller of examinations. Thus
transparency is maintained within the stipulated time period very efficiently.

3.4.4 Institutional social responsibility activities in the neighborhood community in terms of

education, environmental issues like Swachh Bharath, health and hygiene awareness, delivery of
free/ subsidized health care and socio economic development issues carried out by the students and
staff, including the amount of expenditure incurred during the last five years
Response:
The college believes in the dual responsibility of sensitizing the students and also the community towards
social responsibilities through several extension programs. Every nursing department is engaged in
conducting health awareness programs on a variety of health topics as well as programs for behaviour
change, life virtues and nutrition exhibitions. The students are made to realize the challenges of the public
in terms of environment, health, hygiene and socio-economic development. Based on these aspects various
extension activities were conducted in the community field, by the students under the guidance of faculty
which sensitized the students on social health problems and fulfilled the institutional social responsibilities
by and large.
The extension activities are planned by the head of the departments, approved by the Principal and
majority of the programmes are conducted by the institution.
The major activities include health camps, swachh bharath, mission where students and faculty members
conducted mass education programmes and sensitized the public regarding the use of closed toilet systems
and avoidance of open field defection. TREE PLANTATION (vriksha ropan) was done within KVCN
premises and various areas in the community.
The institution rendered the service during a disaster to fulfil the social responsibility. During the deluge in
2015 at Chennai and the surrounding area, the institution has provided shelters, food, safe drinking water
and other essential services like free medical facilities, dresses, personal cleaning items and sanitary pads
and participated in rescue operations in Mambattu and Urapakkam.
A Health education campaign was conducted about the prevention of communicable diseases, water
chlorination and the importance of good sanitation during the post-flood period. The students did the water
chlorination in each house in the water tanks with chlorine tablets in the surrounding villages.
Page 59/131 27-10-2021 09:55:04

The health teachings are given by using a variety of AV aids and using various teaching methods like role
play, drama, health songs, exhibition, demonstration, quiz and mime. The students are given ample
freedom to plan, implement and evaluate the programs.
The mass education programme was organized in the community to emphasize the importance of growing
trees, plastic-free zone, no-smoking zone, preservation of forests and water bodies. Our students are
participating in the pulse polio immunization programme every year organized by the Government of
Tamilnadu. Dengue source reduction programme and health camp on diabetes mellitus were organized
among the public to meet their needs.
The students and faculty members organized and participated in morbidity clinic, breastfeeding week
celebration, antenatal clinic, well-baby clinic, rally on clean India, school health programme, world heart
day, world AIDS day celebration, world mental health day and road safety awareness programme and these
programmes are conducted regularly every year which helps the students to realize their social

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe two Institutional Best Practices as per the NAAC format provided in the Manual
Response:
Best Practice- 1
Title
Fishbone model as a clinical teaching method to improve the quality of nursing care through cause and
effect analysis.
Objectives of the practice
1.To identify swiftly the root causes of patients problem and pursue corrective actions
2.To Change a particular quality of care outcome within a system efficiently.
3.To promote patient satisfaction through excellent nursing care services
4.To analyze the cause and effect of any issue inpatient care scenario.
The Context
A fishbone model helps the students to identify the cause of a problem and facilitating them to precisely
diagnose the problem rather than focusing on symptoms. The teacher enables the team of students to focus
on why the problem occurs and not on the history of the problem. It is a simple root cause analysis that is
used for brainstorming issues, and causes of particular problems of patients, which allows for team
consensus to solve the problems.
The Practice
As a quality improvement initiative, the cause of patients problems are explored that contributes to the
outcome and the following steps are taken to change the quality of care outcome.
Steps
1.Problem statement
2.categorization
3.contributing factors
4.Ask: why?
5.Many Ribs: Deeper causes
Page 114/131 27-10-2021 09:55:41

6.Test for root causes

7.Establish the cause-effect correlation
The teacher helps the group of students to draft a clear problem statement on which all students agree. It is
written at the centre-right of the box and draws a horizontal arrow running to it. Draw the line with an
arrow towards the head of the fish.
Students are facilitated to brainstorm the major categories of causes of the problem such as people,
method, machine, material, and environment and connect them to the backbone in ribs.
Brainstorm an entire list of ideas and place them on ribs all at once.
The teacher repeatedly asks the team of students why that factor is present to generate deeper levels of
cause and to test for the root cause by looking for a cause that appears repeatedly within major categories
and correlates the cause and effects.
Evidence of success
It helps the students to identify the main cause of any problem related to patient care which helps to
recognize bottlenecks in the system. It also promotes patient-centred care, teamwork and collaboration,
evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety and the development of information to support the
decision-making process. The root cause analysis of the problem helps to drive strategies to solve the
problem and it is evaluated by clinical outcome indicators such as incidence of hospital-acquired infection,
patient satisfaction score and needle stick injury etc.
Problems encountered and Resources required
There is no significant problem encountered by the teachers and students to teach fishbone diagrams as a
clinical teaching methodology. It was found interesting by the students to use the fishbone model to solve
any kind of repeated, persisting clinical issues.
