 Section II:Metric and Criterion Analysis
Observations (Strengths and/or Weaknesses) on each qualitative metrices of the key Indicator under the
respective criterion(This will be a qualitative analysis of descriptive nature aimed at critical analysis
presenting strength and weakness of HEI under each criteria)

Criterion1 - Curricular Aspects (Key Indicator and Qualitative Metrices(QlM) in Criterion1)

1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation
1.1.1 The Institution ensures effective curriculum planning and delivery through a well-planned
QlM and documented process including Academic calendar and conduct of continuous internal
Assessment
1.3 Curriculum Enrichment
1.3.1 Institution integrates crosscutting issues relevant to Professional Ethics, Gender, Human
QlM Values, Environment and Sustainability in transacting the Curriculum

Qualitative analysis of Criterion 1

POORNIMA Institute of Engineering and Technology was established in the year 2007 as a self-financed
engineering institute under the able management of Shanti Educational Society. The college is currently
affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University, Kota, Rajasthan. College has AICTE affiliation and recognized
under section 2(f) of UGC act but yet to receive 12(b) recognition from UGC. Being an affiliated institute
there is limited role to play in development of curriculum. College runs six undergraduate degree engineering
programs (all are related to Computer Science) with sanctioned intake of 480 students per year. The institute is
having 5.03 acres of land providing adequate built-up area measuring 37082 Sq.m. though the campus in true
sense is not challenged free. Institute has classrooms, laboratories, workshop, seminar halls and auditorium
with necessary circulation area to fulfil different necessary academic activities according to AICTE and
affiliating university. The college implements the curriculum in tune with affiliating university, however in
addition to the curriculum prescribed by the university the students are encouraged to take some value-added
courses through NPTEL/ SWAYAM /MOOCS / Certification Programmes along with leadership,
entrepreneurship, and skill development programs to enrich the curriculum as claimed by the
institute. However, the delivery of additional curriculum needs to be properly monitored and audited in better
professional manner. Cross cutting issues like Gender equality, Environmental Sustainability, Human Values
and Professional Ethics etc., are part of the curriculum. Mechanism of redress for grievances of the students
exists however more transparency is needed. Peace and tranquillity is well maintained in the college campus.
The college needs to develop better action plan for effective implementation of outcome-based teaching
learning.

QlM
Explain with evidence in a maximum of 500 words

Qualitative analysis of Criterion 2

Admissions to various courses offered by the college is done through centralized online counselling of the
affiliating university strictly on merit basis and in accordance with the reservation policy of Rajasthan
Government. The college needs to be more proactive for better student enrolment both in quality as well as
count. Provision of admission in second year through lateral entry against vacant seats exists The academic
calendar is prepared before the start of academic year in accordance with affiliating university and strictly
adhered to it.

College conducts induction program for the first-year students immediately after they join to fulfil the
guideline of AICTE. Institute claimed the provision for offering supplementary teaching-learning, with an aim
to improve the academic performance of the weak students however not properly substantiated through
acceptable documentary evidence. Moreover, the mechanism of identification of slow and advanced learners
needs to be more transparent and robust. The institute is registered with National Academic Depository and all
students have Academic Bank Credit ID.

Most of the faculty members are qualified with post-graduate degree however the percentage of faculties with
Ph.D qualification are also considerable. The institute is maintain a good faculty student cadre ratio(17:1).
Faculties must be encouraged to undertake different state of art teaching methodologies for effective delivery
of course content.

The institute is still to setup proper ICT enabled classrooms with the availability of interactive digital boards
and other modern teaching aids. Most of the classrooms are fitted with overhead LCD projectors. Being not in
vicinity of large IT hubs faces certain challenges in terms of connectivity and access to technology, but
additional measures must be taken to expose students to global developments.

Students are evaluated on a continuous basis through two internal tests followed by end semester test, as per
affiliating University norms. The students are advised to participate in NPTEL and MOOC courses, however
better documentation in support of regular participation and performance are recommended. Although the
OBE is being followed, but the college is yet to define proper rubrics for evaluation of Program Outcomes
(POs), Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) and every Course Outcomes (COs). Proper record on Course
attainment followed by assessment of teaching performance with proper corrective measures can be improved.
Moreover, student progression in higher studies is to be encouraged more.

 Criterion3 - Research, Innovations and Extension (Key Indicator and Qualitative Metrices(QlM) in
Criterion3)
3.2 Innovation Ecosystem
3.2.1 Institution has created an ecosystem for innovations, Indian Knowledge System
QlM (IKS),including awareness about IPR, establishment of IPR cell, Incubation centre and
other initiatives for the creation and transfer of knowledge/technology and the outcomes of
the same are evident
3.4 Extension Activities
3.4.1 Outcomes of Extension activities in the neighborhood community in terms of impact and
QlM sensitizing the students to social issues for their holistic development during the last five
years.
3.4.2 Awards and recognitions received for extension activities from government / government
QlM recognised bodies

Qualitative analysis of Criterion 3

Frequent faculty development programs are to be arranged as the teachers need to be trained and motivated to
deliver the curriculum in proper scientific manner. Unless the college starts faculty recruitment in real holistic
manner, students are deprived of having exposure to the use of different state of art teaching methodologies
for effective delivery of course content and the college will fail to apply for externally funded research
projects. The faculty members need more encouragement through transparent policy to participate in research
activities such as to publish papers in peer reviewed journals, participate in good national as well as
international conferences and seminars. More senior faculties with adequate research experience are to be
included to guide and motivate young faculties for creating vibrating in-house research environment.

On documents faculties and students are encouraged to participate in many extension activities like blood
donation camps, skill development programs, Unnat Bharat scheme etc. College needs to be more conscious in
conducting effective co-curricular and extra-curricular activities under NSS in nearby villages. There is a
strong need to have a structured mechanism and a well-defined policy for conducting consultancy assignments
and MoU’s. Extension activities creating social awareness about social evils and moral values are being
carried out. Poornima Business Incubation Cell is established to foster industry and community linkages,
collaborating with few reputed industries through MOUs, in order to facilitate student internships, providing
valuable practical experience. Right from first year students are encouraged for exhibiting conceptual models
and institute facilitates and encourages students for own start-ups through AICTE funded IDEA lab as well as
well-equipped incubation centre. Institute has received MODROB fund and also some fund granted by
Rajasthan Technical University from their TEQUIP grant as an eligible affiliated college. Though the college
has completed first cycle of NAAC accreditation still needs to be more proactive to catch the essence of state
of the art technology for current industry needs and to keep the institute ready for immediate future challenges
interms of setting up of more centres of Excellence(COEs).

house training and placement activities are provided through Training and Placement Cell however needs to
be pro-active to attract reputed recruiters with better salary package. The cell coordinates internship and
placement initiatives as well. The student placement record needs to be improved and needs better attention.
Although, the Industry Institute Interaction Cell exists, but it needs to play an important role in capitalizing the
potential of pass out students also for betterment of the present students and progress of the college as a whole.
Registered Alumni association exists but not visibly vibrant. Various co-curricular, extracurricular and cultural
activities are organized by the students along with the faculty coordinators. College organizes Annual Sports,

The Board of Governors meetings are seemed to be conducted to discuss the future development of the

Page 7/11 22-03-2025 02:24:48

institution. Various internal cells and committees are in place to enable the proper implementation of the
strategic plan. Institute has a good, proactive and visionary leadership. Institute needs proactive leadership to
transfer into an autonomous institution in near future. Various statutory committees and cells are in place as
part of the grievance redressal mechanism; however they need to be prompt and proactive. Performance
appraisal system for teaching and non-teaching staff exists, but proper implementation as well as correction
measures are to be implemented. Uniform and transparent recruitment and promotion policies be framed.
IQAC is in place but is yet to play the proper active role of implementing and guiding various quality
assurance strategies and processes. The training for faculty on pedagogy and use of technology in classrooms
may be conducted from time to time. IQAC cell must formulate effective policies and put them in practice for
continuous monitoring and periodic review of administrative and academic departments in better professional
manner. Clear guideline about service rules, recruitment, promotional and procurement policies need to be
available to all stake holders through institute website, which is visibly incomplete. Proper documentation on
budgetary planning and allotment is available; moreover, the available document does not reflect subsequent
mobilization of fund for research and library. Student tuition fees decided by state regulatory authority are the
only major source of revenue for the college. Decentralization and delegation are still in the consideration
stage and require focused efforts to ensure more effective participation and decision-making across all levels.
Institute has a qualified Counceller is available in the campus to help the psychologically depressed students
and faculty. Proper records are maintained.

This will also involve regular reviews and updates to policies and procedures to adapt to evolving needs and
