The parameter of equality is deeply embedded within the teaching-learning ecosystem of Panjab University. We endeavor to ensure that each student who enrolls in our programmes achieves her/his full potential. We focus on exposing the students to the state-of-the-art both in terms of knowledge levels and competitive environments so that we can produce ethically discerning and professionally competent individuals who come to learn and go to serve.
At the same time, we also realize that not all students enjoy an equal level of learning and imbibing felicity. Many times the unequal learning capacities and abilities of the student are a factor of the diverse socio-cultural, economic, regional and ethnic backgrounds of the students. We at Panjab University enroll students from all parts of India and sometimes even from other countries. Some of these students have had
their basic education with English as the medium of instruction while others have been educated in the vernacular medium. That is perhaps the first level of disparity in terms of learning abilities. This disparity, Panjab University has countered by allowing students to write their exams in any of the three languages: English, Punjabi and Hindi. Answer scripts are sent to evaluators well-versed in the language. This apart the University offers a number of special courses for developing writing skills. Soft skills modules that focus on developing a greater felicity in the use of the English language are also offered from time to time.
Another important hallmark of the Instruction System of Panjab University is the Honors School System. The Honors school system completed 100 years of its existence in 2019. An integrated five-year programme offering BSc (Honors) as well as an MSc (Honors), it is a programme that caters to the abilities of the more advanced learners. As against the B.Sc/B.A. (Pass Course) Programme which is oriented towards relatively slow learners, the Honors School Programme allows students with advanced learning abilities to achieve higher levels of academic excellence.
All departments of the University run the Mentor-mentee programme which allows students to share their individual experiences as well as challenges within the teaching-learning system with their teacher mentors.. Remedial lessons are imparted during the Tutorials held once a week for every course. Slow learners are also encouraged to learn using self-learning materials, e-resources and bridge courses. Even during classroom interaction, teachers take care that their lecture is understood by the slow learner and appreciated by the advanced learner, whereas for bright students’ mentors/teachers provide reference and advance books/ e-books/ journals etc, exposure to new tools/software, encouraged to take additional R& D projects. Panjab University runs an exclusive Centre for IAS and Other Competitive Examinations, Centre for Industry Institute Partnership Programme (CIIPP), Technology Enabling Centre (TEC) of Panjab University is a project sponsored by Department of Science & Technology (DST) to help aspirants in various fields and provide a platform to network researchers with other institutes, National laboratories and industry. The main focus of the university is to provide an enabling eco system, process and support system.

The student-centric curriculum followed by Panjab University enables the student as a problem solver to broaden their mental horizon and increase their knowledge base so that they become conceptually clear and able to apply that knowledge for the solution of their own as well as social, and technical problems and to
covers the teaching-learning gaps.
The Panjab University curriculums are structured in such a way that each concept starts with a problem description, and students put theory into practice by applying critical methods of experiential and participative learning. Each course ensures the active participation of students. The university has adopted various hands-on student-centric methodologies. Across programmes at Panjab University, diverse strategies are used to enhance the learning experience of students. Even within the conventional lecture format, an attempt is made to use the free associative technique which helps to integrate inputs and experiences with discussions, interactions and dialogue.
Experiential Learning:
The Lab work is designed/assigned in such a way that each student has been given an opportunity for experiential learning in the maximum departments which is also assessed one way or the other.
Presentations by the students are required in each of the courses and the same is also the parts of marks to be awarded for internal assessment.
Field trips / school visits/ Industrial visits/ Institutional visits are organized for students by all the departments to give an exposure to learning beyond the scope of classroom/laboratory training .
Internships/ community awareness is integrated into the programme structure of both UG and PG programmes and they are part of the assessment also, wherever applicable
Poster presentations, Quiz/ paper presentations and Model Making are regular activities organized for students by all the departments.
PhD students are assigned classes, normally less than 5 hours per week, which enhance their experiential learning
Participative learning
Case Study/ project work analysis is a regular student-centric method adopted to enable education, sociology, social work, Management students, community education, disability studies etc. to analyse trends in education, society, and community to prepare models for the future. The learning outcomes of these activities are discussed and shared with the entire class.
Through group discussions/seminars also, the students learn in a participative manner. Students are got involved in the organization of seminars/workshops/conferences and various other programmes.
There is the provision of involving the students in various bodies including the Court, the Academic Council, YRC, NSS and the Quality Advisory Council of the University through which the participative learning of the students is enriched.
Short Film Making, play, drama, theatre, newspaper development, musical compositions etc. helps students of Mass Communication, the department of the Indian theatre department of music, language department to express their creativity in visualization, documentation framing and concept creation in an effective manner
Problem-solving methodologies
Along with classroom teaching and laboratory- experiment-based learning, students are involved in research projects in the field which helps and enhance their real-life problem-solving abilities.
Assignments are given so that students enhance their hands-on experience in problem-solving.
Quiz contests and snap tests are also conducted from time to time to keep the students in a competitive environment and to check the overall progress of the class.

Process followed for development of Self-Learning Material
The process of development of Self Learning Mode is initiated with finalization of the UG,PG, Diploma and Certificate courses syllabi by the statutory bodies of the university
The department identifies the outside experts based on their specialization. Experts and the faculty members of the department are allotted the themes for developing our lessons.
All these prospective writers are invited for training workshops which help in initiating them into the processes and demands of the work to be done.
Many workshops were organized by USOL where ODL experts from reputed national institutes interacted with faculty members. During these workshops, the standardized structure of SLM was developed which essentialized that the lessons should be self explanatory, self-contained, illustrative, easily comprehensible and in manageable modules such as units and blocks.
Subsequently, the text development of the lessons is done as per the norms decided upon. It is followed by review of the lessons developed by subject experts.
Vetting of the lessons is done by a different set of experts. These are further subjected to the third party academic audit by the committees of the faculty members drawn from within and outside the department.
After their approval, the draft is presented before Centre of Internal Quality Assurance for approval.
The lesson production committee of the department takes care of the printing of the lessons for dissemination.
In whole of the process, the feedback of the previous year students remain central for consideration so as to limit the problems in the lessons to the minimum in future.

Accordingly, students have to work and submit it by the specified time. In case, students can not submit the same due to some reasons, they are given another chance. The scores obtained by students in internal assessment is displayed on e-notice board of USOL. In case, students feel any discrepancy, they are free to ask about it from their evaluators and their doubts and discrepancy are cleared out. Transparency is kept for internal assessment. Students are free to ask about these.
After this, final assessment scores are submitted to the examination branch of Panjab University. The internal awards are uploaded on the local network of Examination branch of Panjab University or sent to this branch through official channel in print form.

The course outcomes are assessed using multiple strategies appropriate to various learning objectives. Theoretical gains are tested at regular intervals using snap tests, mid-semester and end-semester examination. Additionally, discussions, presentations and term paper assignments are reliable, time-tested tools to assess learning outcomes. Many Departments also have self-assessment by students. At the beginning of each lesson, expected learning outcomes are specified and in between there are selfassessment questions/ activities designed to test expected learning outcomes. As the student progress through the lesson, they assess their learning by attempting self-assessment questions/ activities. This is most effective for self-motivation and learning. Further details about different assessment methods are as follows:
Mid-Term examination: Mid-Term examinations (Minor-1 and Minor-2 examinations) are a part of Internal Assessment. Each Mid-Term examination carries a weightage allocated for concerned Theory subject.
Assignments and Quizzes: Assignments and Quizzes are also a part of Internal Assessment and carry a weightage in total marks allocated for concerned Theory subject. Nature of assignments may involve different types of tasks such as discussion, presentations, etc. Besides, tutorials, class room discussions and seminar papers also play an important role in assessing students. In some of the department’s projects and practical work also help to assess course outcomes in some specific courses.
