Abstract

There has been a recent trend in fostering quality cultutre in higher educatin institutes. Students evaluation of teachers and courses at the end of semester are an integral part of Quality Assessment process. It has been heavily debated in academic communities that whether students are competent enough to judge teacher and course quality. Furthermore in semester system where grading is solely in the hands of faculty student’s opinion can be biased . In this paper we have carried out an empirical study to understand the student evaluation practices. Our study highlights that in some cases the students may be biased but generally they are very objective in portraying the ground realities.
