STARS OF MOORE CONTEST

STARS (Students and Alumni for a Responsible Society), an initiative of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell to foster social responsibility among students (Students and Alumni for a Responsible Society) was inaugurated by Shri. Mullakkara Retnakaran in 2017. A core group of 40 students are selected as volunteer leaders of STARS, every year. They are groomed under reputed alumni and teachers. The immediate need of the society is identified from time to time and necessary interventions are made. 

A global citizen needs to have empathy for the lot of the fellow human beings along with having a sound academic base. This initiative by the College is aimed at zeroing in on the students who have the potential to make a positive change to the society, work on their emotional and intellectual faculties and thus facilitate their transformation into contributing citizens. This becomes even more necessary in a College such as ours which is situated in a rural area with the students having a limited exposure to the outside world.

Objectives 

• To mould students into responsible citizens
• To promote active involvement of alumni in developing a culture to cater to the needs of the local society
• To encourage interaction between students and alumni
• To enhance the employability skills of the students

As part of STARS, 10 best outgoing students are selected every year through a four level selection process and three among them are adjudged as the “Stars of Moore”. The first level of selection is a preliminary written test for all outgoing students. The second level is a verification of the academic and co-curricular achievements of the students selected in the first level. Those selected at the second level are given training for interviews and group discussions. The third level is a personal interview conducted by a reputed panel which includes an academician, a psychologist and an eminent person from the corporate sector through which 10 best performing students are selected. The final round is an open stage performance. The three STARS of MOORE are selected after taking into consideration the cumulative score of the final three rounds. The awards to the best students are distributed by renowned persons in ‘PATHEYAM’, a programme dedicated to bid adieu to the outgoing students.
