Mechanism of internal/ external assessment is transparent and the grievance redressal system is
time- bound and efficient
Response:
Internal Assessment
Internal Assessment carries a weightage of 30% and is managed by the individual course faculty. It
comprises various elements such as assignments, quizzes, unit tests, online tests, and attendance.
Assignments & Quizzes: Students are required to submit time-bound assignments and quizzes
per courses in each semester. These assessments aim to foster applicative learning and submitted
physically or uploaded on Google Classroom.
Unit Tests: Each student must participate in two unit tests conducted by the individual subject
experts. Unit Test 1 occurs approximately one and a half months after the semester commences,
while Unit Test 2 is held two weeks before the semester ends. These tests cover 90% of the
course content delivered in classes.
Proctored Online Test: Conducted by the university and monitored by the college, this online
test occurs just before the semester examination.
After the completion of each of the four tests, students' evaluated answer scripts and results are shown to
them within seven days, and marks and answer scripts are uploaded to the university portal, accessible to
both the university and students through their logins. A student must maintain a minimum attendance of
75% in aggregate of all courses taken together in a semester to be eligible to appear for the examinations.
Any discrepancies in marks or attendance can be reported to the concerned teacher or authority directly.
External Assessment
The external assessment, regulated by the university and managed by the institute, comprises
examination held at the end of the semester, carrying a weightage of 70%. The institute follows the
academic calendar, ensuring students appear in all internal tests and end-semester examinations. All
examinations, including theory, practical, sessional, project reports, and any other term-end evaluation
components, are conducted by the Controller of Examinations.
The institute provides a time-bound and efficient grievance redressal system. A senior faculty nominated
as Officer-in-Charge and authorized by the university oversees examination-related processes such as
form filling, examination seat allotment, results, photocopies, and revaluations. If a student is dissatisfied
with their marks, they can request a rechecking of papers by submitting a prescribed form to the
university after the results are declared. Additionally, students failing in a particular subject can reappear
in the examination by submitting a backlog form along with the requisite fee to the university.
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) continuously monitors and evaluates the internal
mechanism to enhance the teaching-learning process. It ensures quality in all operations of various
departments and gathers feedback from students and teachers regarding the evaluation process. The cell
also addresses grievances submitted by different stakeholders. The institute strictly follows the
Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) for all Programmes offered by the
institution are stated and displayed on website
Response:
The institution has embraced the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, shaping Programme
Educational Objectives (PEOs), Programme Outcomes (POs), Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs),
and Course Outcomes (COs) as fundamental components. At the heart of this approach lie the Course
Outcomes (COs), which focus on measuring student performance through clearly defined outcomes.
These outcomes encapsulate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students acquire upon completing a
course, meticulously defined by course coordinators in consultation with stakeholders. Typically, each
course outlines around six COs, crafted with Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Skill in mind to ensure
meaningful, observable, and measurable learning objectives.
Additionally, Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs) delineate explicit graduate attributes tailored to
each discipline and level of study. Typically, three PSOs are defined per program, aligning with specific
program objectives aimed at highlighting the direct implications of acquired knowledge and techniques
on societal betterment and sustainability. The institution places paramount importance on setting clear
COs and PSOs for all programs under study, ensuring alignment with overarching Program Outcomes
(POs) that students should achieve by the end of their graduation. The institute measures the level of
attainment of the program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes from all
stakeholders concerned, with modes of evaluation.
The institute's commitment to OBE is further underscored by continuous accreditation of four programs
by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), affirming meticulous adherence to OBE principles.
To ensure transparent communication and dissemination of these outcomes, the institution employs
various channels:
All POs, PSOs, and COs are prominently featured on the departmental homepage of the institute's
website.
POs and PSOs are visibly displayed in key areas such as the Head of Department's room, faculty
rooms, laboratories, and departmental notice boards.
This multifaceted approach ensures that all stakeholders, including faculty and students, are well-
informed and actively engaged in achieving the institution's educational objectives.*
2.6.2
Response:
NSEC has a tradition of obtaining accreditation from NBA since 2006 and adheres to the guidelines
specified by NBA. Initially, the Course Outcomes (COs) for each course are mapped to the Programme
Outcomes (POs) and Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs) based on their relevance, categorized as low
(1), moderate (2), or substantial (3). A correlation matrix is established between the COs and the POs and
PSOs.*
Questions and assessments are prepared using the action verbs of revised Bloom's Taxonomy. All
question papers, assignments, and quizzes are designed based on COs. The attainment of outcomes is
evaluated through 80% direct assessment and 20% indirect assessment, while CO attainment is
calculated based solely on direct assessment. The following attainment levels are set in terms of actual
percentage of students getting set percentage of marks.
Direct Assessment
The overall course attainment is calculated by combining the CO attainment measured through
University examinations with the CO attainment measured through Internal Assessments. The final
course attainment is calculated as follows:
Indirect Assessment
At the end of the program, surveys such as the Graduate Exit Survey, Alumni Survey, and Employer
Survey are conducted. The attainment of a survey is calculated as the weighted average of responses
using the rubric: Strongly Agree (5), Agree (4), Neutral (3), Disagree (2), and Strongly Disagree (1). The
consolidated indirect component of PO/PSO assessment is the arithmetic average of all survey attainment
values.
Both direct assessment (DA) and indirect assessment (IA) tools are used to evaluate the attainment of PO
and PSO. The overall attainment is calculated with an 80% weightage to direct assessment and a 20%
weightage to indirect assessment. The total attainment for each PO/PSO is calculated using the following
formula:

institutional growth, decentralization, participation in the institutional governance and in their short
term and long term Institutional Perspective Plan.
Response:
The institution’s well articulated vision and mission guide its academic and administrative governance.
The Board of Governors (BOG) holds supreme authority over academic, administrative, and financial
matters within the institution's purview. BOG recognizes faculty members as pivotal to the institute's
success. Rather than micromanaging, it empowers them to lead and implement decisions, fostering a
robust academic foundation. The Board of Governors (BOG) leads policy formulation and supports
faculty members in policy implementation. It acts primarily as a facilitator, providing necessary
assistance to ensure effective execution. This approach promotes collaboration and empowers faculty
members to take ownership, enhancing the institution's overall effectiveness and success.

Institution has strategies for mobilization and optimal utilization of resources and funds from
various sources (government/ nongovernment organizations) and it conducts financial audits
regularly (internal and external)
Response:
The college enacts self-conceived development programs, emphasizing quality, relevance, excellence,
resource mobilization, institutional autonomy with accountability, research, and equity, encompassing
academic and non-academic reforms. The major revenue is generated through tution fees paid by the
students in each semester. However, IQAC has classified activities to mobilize funds and resources for
stakeholders' benefit.
For a self-sponsored educational institute additional efforts to generate recurring revenue are not within
its usual scope. The major revenue (that too recurring) is raised from students’ tuition fees i.e. semester
fees. However, IQAC has categorized specific activities for mobilization of funds and resources on top of
the regular fund flow activities i.e. teaching - learning activities from and for use of its stake holders.
These are:
The institute employs a rigorous mechanism to assess the efficient use of financial resources for
academic processes and infrastructure development. The Principal prepares the annual institutional
budget, incorporating recurring and nonrecurring expenses, with input from administrative and academic
heads, as well as coordinators of various cells and submit it to the institute's Board of Governors (BOG).
The BOG makes key financial decisions based on proposals from the finance committee of the society.
The committee scrutinizes major transactions across various areas like Research & Development,
Training & Placement, and Equipment & Consumables, ensuring alignment with the institute's growth
objectives through meticulous financial planning. A flexible financial system allows spending more than
the budget allocated as per the approved budget on the benefit of demands and requirements.
Optimal utilization and execution of the budget are monitored through internal and external
auditing. Internal audit is conducted annually by:
An annual statutory external audit is performed by chartered accountants hired by the Society's office,
examining the institute's accounts as a subsidiary of the society.*
Response:
As per AICTE, UGC, and NAAC guidelines, institution established its Internal Quality Assurance Cell
(IQAC) in 2013 to enhance institutional academic and administrative performance through evaluation,
assessment, accreditation, and quality improvement. The IQAC aims to foster conscious, continuous,
consistent and catalytic actions towards improvement and internalize quality culture and initiatives and
institutionalizing best practices. It monitors and reviews teaching-learning processes, and methodologies
regularly through its organizing committee and periodic meetings.
Aligning with the institution's vision and mission, as well as those of individual departments and
programs, several following best practices have been institutionalized through IQAC initiatives:
Introduced in 2013, the OBE system is rigorously followed by departments and the Institute.
Internal assessments and University results are used to calculate the attainment levels of all the
Course Outcomes, Program Outcomes and Program Specific Outcomes This helps in monitoring
the outcome attainment levels and discuss action plans for any deficiencies.
The institution has adopted an ICT-based education system as part of the teaching and learning
reforms implemented by the IQAC.
A Teaching Learning Monitoring System is used and overseen by Heads of Departments, the
Dean (Academic Affairs), and the Principal. The following parameters are considered:
IQAC has initiated aptitude, soft skill & personality development and value-added training
programs for students across all disciplines for enhancement of employability.
The BOG and society was persuaded to sanction a budget for upgrading existing infrastructure
and facilities.
The IIC-NSEC and EDC-NSEC have been constituted as prescribed by MHRD-IIC to
methodically promote the culture of innovation and entrepreneurship as a part of curriculum, by
organizing workshops, seminars, and talks by industry experts, successful entrepreneurs, and
academicians to inspire students and faculty and to facilitate the development of innovative
projects and ideas through hackathons, innovation challenges, and competitions.
Under IQAC's initiative, the NSEC Incubation Center was established, later recognized as Host
Institute/Business Incubator (HI/BI)-MSME, providing students with comprehensive support in

Institution has initiated the Gender Audit and measures for the promotion of gender equity during
the last five years.
Describe the gender equity & sensitization in curricular and co-curricular activities, facilities for
women on campus etc., within 500 words
Response:
The ideologies of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose are the foundation stones of the institute and that
reinforce the value of human dignity. Like Gloria Steinem, we too, believe that, ‘A gender-equal society
would be one where the word 'gender' does not exist: where everyone can be themselves’; and our every
step is directed towards that optimization.
The fundamental essence of a well-grounded socio-psychological sense of discrimination fans the very
need to consciously inject and practice a series of gender neutral activities throughout the existing set of
interdisciplinary academic orders. The institution religiously looks into the matter of providing academic
and non-academic help to students beyond their socio-cultural and sexual identities with reference to the
quoted categories:
Safety and Security: To fight and annul the discrimination on the grounds of moral, physical,
psychological and gender inequality the institution has successfully managed to introduce and run and
anti-sexual harassment committee, internal complaints committee and anti-ragging committee led and
guided by core academic members, besides organizing numerous workshops, seminars and conventions.
We believe this is worth noticing that though the institution runs with the female faculty strength
counting to a bare minimal of less than 40%; it has dexterously channelized its female power by ensuring
their involvement in almost all the functioning committees. CC cameras are installed in the classrooms,
library, parking areas and also in the office and lobbies to ensure the safety and security.
Counselling: The first step towards sensitization of students and employees of the institution to the
constitutional obligations is formulation of rules and regulations approved by the Board of Governors,
strict observance of the rules, and constitution of a Grievance Redressal Cell in case of any violation. The
rules and regulations are so framed that they are applicable to all irrespective of gender, creed and
culture. Right to Information Cell takes care of maintenance of transparency.
The students are sensitized about gender issues during the Induction programme, within a socio-cultural
and socio-academic environment. A lady psychologist offers counseling and guidance to the students
once in every week. Faculty mentor counsel and allows every individual to nurture and flourish their
talent with no gender discrimination.
The discourse continues to occupy large sections through humanities curriculum as well. Group activity
of preparing a poster (HU 181/191), preparation of technical report, to the rigorous sessions of Group
Discussion (HU 781/791), this social concern hardly runs out of focus. On International Women’s Day
Common Room and Other Amenities and Facilities: The institution harvests a couple of common
rooms for both boys and girls alike. These rooms are well equipped with indoor games like chess, carom,
and table tennis and so on. Sanitary napkin vending machine has also been installed in the girls’ common
room.*

day, etc are celebrated. These events provide an opportunity for students and employees from different
backgrounds to come together, share their traditions, and build strong bonds of friendship, fostering a
deeper understanding and appreciation of each other's customs and practices. The institute encourages
embracing various forms of social service activities including blood donation camp, encouraging the
The course ‘Values and Ethics in Profession’ is offered to the students of B. Tech programmes through
curriculum. A Case Study approach, using interactive group sessions is adopted. Student flexibility in
choice of Case Studies is an important feature of the course. This course emphasizes on Environmental
Studies, Societal Values, Aesthetics Values, Psychological values, Sustainable Development, Canon of
Ethics etc. The objective of this course is to develop a value system amongst the engineering students
who will soon turn as professionals. This course also aims to give paramount importance to ethical
behaviour which a student must possess while they fulfil their personal as well as the organizational
goals. A specific advantage for engineering students who learn about ethics is that they develop clarity in
their understanding and thought about ethical issues and the practice in which they arise. The study of
ethics helps students to develop widely applicable skills in communication, reasoning and reflection.
These skills enhance students' abilities and help them engage with other aspects of the engineering
programme such as group work and work placements.
The subject Constitution of India has been made mandatory to all undergraduate students across every
discipline, making them aware about the fundamental rights and duties as well as constitutional
obligations of every responsible citizen of the country, by instilling ethics, integrity, and civic
responsibility in the students.
In conclusion, institute exemplifies an inclusive environment that promotes tolerance, harmony and
constitutional awareness. Through the various array of events and initiatives, institute aims at holistic
development of the students towards creation of responsible citizens who mutually respect and celebrate
cultural, regional, communal and linguistic diversities.*
