Abstract
This study was conducted at UAS, Bangalore covering all the colleges. Data were
collected from a sample of 12 administrators, 120 teachers and 240 students using simple
random sampling technique and pre-tested questionnaires. Analysis was done using
descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that majority of the
administrators (62.5 %) were moderately satisfied with the teaching, examination and
evaluation related conditions. Equal percentage of students (36.6 %) perceived that the
teaching support facilities at the university were ‘very good’ and ‘moderately good’.
Majority of teachers (53.3 %) perceived the level of UG students’ academic performance
was ‘good’. The introduction of centralised examination system seems to have a
favourable impact on the academic performance of UG students. Study habits,
accommodation, participation in extracurricular activities, parents’ education, use of
teaching aids and system of examination showed a significant relationship with the level
of academic performance of the U.G students. Major constraints faced by the
administrators, teachers and students were: lack of sufficient ICT enabled smart
classrooms and less expertise of teachers to skillfully handle the various teaching aids.
Suggestions offered by the administrators, teachers and students were: provision of
classrooms with internet facility and various ICT tools, provision of proper guidance and
counseling to the newly enrolled UG students and introduction of special career-oriented
coaching classes for them.
