Autonomy Structure
Jai Hind College has successfully undergone three cycles of NAAC accreditation and placed consistently in the ‘A’ Grade. In the last (third) cycle, it has been a proud recipient of A++ grade with a CGPA score of 3.52 out of 4. In adherence to the recommendations of the NAAC peer team, the College submitted its proposal for grant of autonomy following which the Union Ministry of HRD and the University of Mumbai conferred the Autonomous Status on the institution from the academic year 2018-19 onwards. The University of Mumbai will confer the graduation and post-graduation degree which will now also bear the name of Jai Hind college.
Subsequently, the University of Mumbai Management Council vide Resolution (Item 04) dated 27th June, 2023, conferred the prestigious Empowered Autonomous Status to Jai Hind College for a period of ten years from academic year 2023-24 to 2032-33.
Goals & Objectives
Jai Hind College has been conferred the Autonomous Status by the Union Ministry of HRD and the University of Mumbai from the academic year 2018-19 onwards. The aims and objectives of the Institution in taking this giant step towards enhancement of overall excellence under Academic Autonomy are as follows:
- To design its own curricula and syllabi in keeping with the global trends so as to provide world-class education;
- To use modern pedagogical tools to achieve greater effectiveness in the teaching-learning process;
- To evolve innovative methods to assess learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills (HOTS);
- To nurture creativity and out-of-the-box thinking;
- To be a platform to cultivate conscientious citizenship through promotion of community services, extension activities and the like, as an integral part of the curricula for the benefit of society at large.
The College has held several brainstorming sessions with its faculty, the pivotal architect in this mammoth process, and has outlined the following goals under autonomy:
- Progress in academics
- Development of subject-specific career-oriented skills
- Augmentation of research
- Search of possible solutions to environmental and ecological problems
- Stress on interdisciplinary activity
Structure Under Autonomy
Jai Hind College Autonomous is governed by mandated Statutory Boards which include the Governing Body, Academic Council, Finance Committee, the Board of Studies of individual subjects and the IQAC which ensure reinforcement of the quality mechanisms outlined in the goals and objectives of the Institution. Based on the policy framework set by these Statutory Committees, the day-to-day administrative activities are carried out under the direction of the Head of the Institution, the Principal, and in consultation with the Academic Heads of Faculties, the Vice Principals and the Heads of various Departments as well as several administrative committees. The policies framed by these committees are based to a large extent on the feedback received from the various stakeholders involved in the overall educational process.
Programs & Credits
For the successful completion of a program, a student is required to acquire 150 academic credit points along with 2 mandatory credits under AAA or ‘Additional Academic Activity’ across a period of three years of an undergraduate program. A student can also acquire 2 additional credits through non-mandatory AA or ‘Additional Activity’ as well as 2 non-mandatory credits through Internships during the course of the entire program. These non-mandatory credits will not be added to the final Grade point of the student but will be reflected in his/her Grade card. Whereas the AAA courses are more of a co-curricular nature to equip the student towards learning beyond the curriculum, the AA courses are more of an extra-curricular nature including Extension activities, CSR activities etc.
