SUM College Feedback Cell
The Feedback Cell at SUM College of Teacher Education plays an instrumental role in fostering continuous improvement and excellence in education. Recognizing the importance of stakeholder insights, the institution has established various mechanisms to systematically gather feedback from key groups, including students, alumni, parents, and employers. These mechanisms include structured events like annual alumni meetings, student exit evaluations, and parent-teacher meetings.
In recent years, the college has adopted more streamlined feedback processes, particularly focusing on curriculum-related feedback, to uphold high standards in curriculum development, delivery, and outcome achievement. Feedback is collected primarily through Google Forms, ensuring accessibility and consistency in data collection. This feedback is consolidated into an annual report, which informs actionable steps to address any gaps or areas of concern, underscoring SUM College’s commitment to quality and responsive education.
