Following Criteria wise input is itself self-explanatory

(I) Curricular Aspect :
               The curricula of programmes are designed by subject committees (equivalent to Boards of Studies) consisting  of in house   faculty members  (as programme coordinators) and subject experts from outside.   Institutional mission   and  goals   are taken into   consideration  while  formulating the curriculum.  Curricula,  are  regularly   revised   and   updated   through  the feedback obtained from students, counselors, and suggestions of the experts and remarks of the Academic Council. 
               Components such as fieldwork, laboratory work, project work have been incorporated in various programmes.
               In order to ensure quality and relevance of programmes, involvement of experts in the field  is  ascertained. Social  needs  and  job opportunities  are   taken into   consideration   while defining programme objectives and curricular content.

(II) Teaching – Learning and Evaluation :
                    We are trying our level best in providing appropriate teaching – learning experiences to our learners. The  study   material  has been  developed in – house,  by the academic faculty, initially with the help of senior colleagues in the post graduation department of Vidyapeeth. For professional programmes study material is developed by the  FDE  with the help of outside experts and members of the subject committee.
                     Study  material  is  prepared  basically  in  print  medium  in SIM mode for most of the programmes. It  is  supplemented  by  audio – cassettes  and  guidance through video CD and audio CD. The other avenues of  learning  provided  for students include ‘E Kesari’, a weekly supplement, containing syllabus – related articles.
                  In order to maintain the effectiveness of the evaluation methodology – evaluation is made in two ways – Internal  Evaluation  through  assignments , project work, field work (according to the nature of the programme) and  External  Evaluation  through  semester system or annual examination system. Regularity is maintained in the conduct of examination and announcement of results.
