Criterion 4- Students’ Admission & Attainment of Competence
Operational explanation- Under this criterion, parameters which are set forth are predominantly dealing with admission of students,
attainment of competences and placement status. Further there are some parameters which required sampling of students of each
professional years and these sampled students will be randomly assigned some tasks or experiments or procedures for performing in
Laboratory/Simulation Lab or clinical setting as per requirement of Curriculum Framework. Further some parameters are related to
enrolment in programme vis-à-vis sanctioned intake, number of students who have taken admission in PG and higher programme, number
of students who have qualified national level competitive examinations for taking admission in higher programmes. Some parameters are
related to performance of students in external examination/summative assessment conducted by Affiliating University. Further some
parameters related to employability of students through placement cell based on campus placement etc.

Criterion 5- Human Resource & Teaching-Learning Process

Operational explanation- This criterion is dealing with regulations laid down by Regulators for requirements of Faculty staff concerned
Programmes. Parameters subsumed under this criterion are related to number teaching staff required vis-à-vis sanctioned intake in
concerned programmes, qualifications and professional experience of teaching staff, proportion of teaching with higher degree,
appointment nature of teaching staff, proportion of teaching staff with higher designation with respect to all teaching staff, proportion of
teaching staff appointed on regular or full time basis, etc. Some parameters are related to academic activities of students and teaching
staff with respect to paper presentations, fellowships and awards availed by teaching staff and students etc. There are parameters
intended to evaluate practices of teaching staff adopted for organization of theory and practical classes.

Criterion 6- Assessment Policy: Formative, Internal & Summative Assessment

Operational explanation- This criterion predominantly deals with formative, internal and summative assessment vis-à-vis competence
based Curriculum. For deriving parameters, guidelines and curriculum have been referred. There are some parameters which are related
to assessment tools and techniques prescribed for formative and internal assessment. Parameters related to ‘Formative, Internal &
Summative’ assessment tools and techniques are aligned with academic excellence category of assessment and rating criteria, because
without right kind of assessment tools and techniques, how students are developing mastery over pre-specified competences cannot be

curriculum framework prescribed by PCI for pharmacy Programs.

The pharmacy college/institute shall practice an outcome oriented approach in teaching learning processes with course specific
CO (Course Objectives) framed to be aligned with LO (Learning Outcomes) & Programme Outcome (PO).

PCI has specified set of Objectives for each programme to guide the pharmacy college/institute regarding the implementation
of curriculum.

pharmacy college/institute is required to align their curricular practices with specified Programme objectives.

Pharmacy college/institute is required to align their Theory, Tutorials, Practical/Clinical experiences and Project in the
concerned subjects with prescribed competences/Programme Objectives.

Note: Major intent of this parameter is to find out how planned and organized ways Faculty/teachers are engaged in
transactions of laid down Curriculum. Transaction of Curriculum will be effective when entire teaching-learning process
is outcome oriented. This parameter aims at finding out how proactively Colleges are taking measures for making entire
teaching learning process outcome oriented for all professional phases.
✓ Note: For parameter-1 & 3: 25% faculties from each subject/department will be randomly selected for interaction on the day
of Physical visit. Department wise list of randomly selected Faculty will be randomly selected and will be auto generated by
portal.
✓ For Parameter-1, 2 & 3: The central limit theorem (CLT) states that the distribution of sample means & other statistics
approximates a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, regardless of the population's distribution. Sample sizes
equal to or greater than 30 are often considered sufficient for the CLT to hold. Students will be randomly selected based on
following methods: -
