Problems Encountered And Resources Required
Some Companies are focusing only on Metros and City colleges and they are not coming to remote colleges for campus selections. Corporates are depending on recruitment (placement) agencies for hiring fresh people. The expectations of some of these agencies are not feasible to colleges. Some of the recruitment agencies are resorting to unhealthy practices by taking money from the colleges and students. The institutions should teach them to accept their mistakes instead of giving wrong answers and making a bad impression in the minds of the recruiters.
Objectives
Group advisory system is followed for the overall development of the students in their academics, as well as their overall development. The basic principle behind this practice is to give individual attention to each student to help in their all round development and to make successful individuals from the institution.The advisor, the parent and the student form an interactive triangle which works towards the better performance of the student.
The Context
Most of the students studying in the institution lack the motivation and competitive mentality that are found in city-bred students. The advisors have taken up the challenge of motivating the students to bring about a change in their attitude. Problems of the students are identified by analyzing their marks, attendance, class performance, behavior and attitude, etc and suitable adjustments are made in the form of counseling, remedial classes, parent-teacher interaction, etc. The first year students are in a transition stage from +2 to technical education. Besides, they come from a system different from the one being followed in technical institutions in terms of subjects, schedule, problems related to discipline etc. Therefore, a co-coordinator is posted to monitor the functioning of the first year classes separately.
The Practice
Each group of around 20 students is allotted to a class advisor in the first year itself,so that each class has 3 advisors,with one of them given the overall responsibility as classco-coordinator.Besides these three advisors, the first year students also have a class teacher who takes classes in the first year subjects. The advisor also keeps track of the student by collecting feedback from other teachers, parents and classmates. The advisor publishes a monthly attendance report prepared with the details collected from the class register to keep a check on absentees.They consolidate the series exam marks and prepare the corresponding result-analysisto gauge the academic progress of students individually, class-wise and subject - wise. The advisor also consolidates the internal marks required for submission to the university. The advisor acts as a mentor and guide to their group of students. They provide counseling to the students who have problems in academics or other areas. Thus, there is a deep bond between the advisor and student. There are monthly advisory meetings between the advisor and group where the students are free to express their views regarding classes, teachers, college facilities, etc. The advisor gives solutions to problems, if any, when possible and refers them to higher authorities. A report of the meeting is given to the HOD and most problems are solved at the departmental level, if not, forwarded to higher authorities. The parent and advisors keep in touch with each other on a regular basis. The student, parent and advisor work together for the student's academic progress and personal development. The feedback about members of faculty, courses, infrastructure etc. is collected from students at regular intervals. The students having difficulty in any subject are given remedial classes as and when required.
Evidence of Success
The result analysis and group advisory files in the department provide the evidence of success. Some students who went off track in the 4th semester were identified and corrected by their advisors, so that they improved their results in the 5th semester. These results indicate the successful functioning of the group advisory system.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The main problem faced by us is that most of the students come from poor and educationally backward families. They are first generation learners and there is lack of consciousness in the guardians of the majority of students
