Teaching Learning Evaluation
Admissions to all programs are done through a centralized admission process by ACPC, Gujarat State based on merit in accordance with the reservation policy. The Institute is one of the most sought-after HEI as evidenced by the high cut-off merit and average enrolment of 94 % of the sanctioned intake. The entrants admitted are a diverse but cohesive group of students from across the country as also Foreign nationals. A student-centered learning approach is adopted as a well-designed student induction program called Aagaman. Several learning opportunities are provided throughout the program along with a robust mentoring system strengthened with experience. A special focus is laid on experiential and participative learning, creative and innovative activities. The institute identifies slow and advanced learners based on their academic performance, student interactions, and due efforts are made to address their specific needs.
A variety of ICT tools employed by the faculty blended with conventional teaching facilitate an effective teaching-learning environment. The COs and POs are disseminated widely and an indirect assessment of the achievement of POs is undertaken. The faculty comprises a blend of acclaimed, senior and relatively young enthusiastic teachers with a total of >375 years of experience and an average of about 9 years. 80 % of the faculty hold a Ph.D. degree. The student/ teacher ratio meets regulatory requirements notwithstanding the procedural difficulties in appointing faculty for the grant-in-aid segment. The faculty are committed to improving their professional knowledge and competence. The institute gives wide publicity of the programs organized by it and others institutes and encourages the faculty and students to participate to remain abreast with current developments in related subjects.
All programs, except the Pharm D program, are semester-based. The result of each semester is awarded in terms of the Semester performance index (SPI) and the final result in terms of the Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The evaluation system comprises internal evaluation by the institute and external evaluation by the University. The former is a blend of objective and subjective questions. The overall result is above 90 percent for each class.
