The institutional board of studies under the guidance of the principal holds meetings with all department heads well in advance before the commencement of each academic year. The IBS prepares the Master timetable as per the recommended hours prescribed for lectures, practical and clinical hours.

Academic Committee

The Academic Cell prepares the academic calendar based on the academic calendar of The TN Dr. MGR Medical University. In the academic calendar all working days, holidays, internal exam dates, University Exam dates, clinical postings, etc. are marked.

Curriculum Delivery

The academic cell is also responsible for preparing the timetable. The timetable is marked with lecture classes, lab hours, clinical postings etc. The individual departments strive hard for effective curriculum delivery with the faculty members to complete the syllabus by apportionment among them by discussion during routinely planned department meetings.

The syllabus of each course is split into many components. Each component of a particular course is taught as per the planned session. This ensures the delivery of each subject lecture in a sequential and structured way.

Class tests are conducted periodically and three internal exams are conducted. Internal exam evaluation is done in a transparent manner. In the formative assessment, considerable weightage is given for assignments and paper presentations. Transparency is kept in the whole evaluation process. Once the answer scripts are corrected the students are allowed to go through them. The faculties explain how the marks were awarded to the students so that the students can improve their performance. Summative assessment is done by the university at the end of the academic year. Institution integrates cross-cutting issues

The commencement of the academic year for the first-year student begins with an orientation program presented by the head of the institution. ICT tools like CIS provide instant information regarding the activities of the institution like teaching schedule, attendance, evaluation of student performance, marks and result analysis, common circulars and also a central monitoring system of both students and staff. Teaching-learning methods are further intensified by interactive teaching, group discussion, like lectures, seminars, demonstrations on models, lab postings, practical sessions, field visits, role plays, community postings are adopted so that knowledge and skill are imparted to students in different ways. Apart from using boards various teaching aids like charts, diagrams, photographs, posters, models, specimens etc. are used so that the teaching-learning experience is more interesting.
