It may seem to one who is deep-rooted in the Indian tradition and culture to think about this venture and the reliability of the judgment of guru by his disciple. But with the Sea- change that has occurred in the global educational scenario and the consequent change in the teacher-student relationship from that a guru to that of a guide-cum-friend and a change in the classroom concept and environment student evaluation has gained significance. In the current educational scenario, learner autonomy has gained currency. Unless and until the learner is satisfied or what the teacher teaches reaches the learner and well received by the latter, the learner achievement remains a distant dream. One such guideline of UGC is evaluation and assessment performance of teachers, also NAAC has adopted ten parameters, one such parameter is Student Feedback.
