by addressing Local, National, Regional and Global developmental requirement. The curriculum/syllabus
feedback process is transparent and quantitative in nature. Suggestion receiving from several stake holders
have been considered and justified by the strong Board of Study (BOS) and Academic Council (AC) structure
towards the implementation. The main backbone of syllabus originated from AICTE Model Curriculum
including emerging area. Six factors are considered towards the curriculum development as follows: (i)
Emerging Technology and Innovations, (ii) Developmental needs at Local, Regional, National & Global levels,
(iii) Opinion of Stake holders, (iv)Suggestions from Professional bodies, (v) Review of Curriculum of National
& International Universities, (vi)Standardized tests and competitive exams at end of program (GATE, GRE,
IES etc.) Intellectual Competence, Social Commitment, Civic Responsibility are additional points considered
towards implementation of autonomy curriculum. Curriculum design is the most significant aspects of
academic quality enhancement processes of an organization. Outcomes based Curriculum Framework towards
our national need (Employability/ Entrepreneurship/ Upskilling) have been implemented prominently. The
concept of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” is also reflected in present curriculum. Title of the course, course contents,
versatile electives, complete information of the course and the curricular structure is well furnished. The Course
Outcome (COs), Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) are synchronized
through CO-PO & CO-PSO mapping. Percentage of new Courses and Elective course introduced is adequate in
nature. The value-added courses imparting transferable and life skills introduction in curriculum is practicing.

Teaching Learning process is a vital parameter for OBE. Teachers always create enthusiasm, ignite passion and
generate curiosity among the students. Side by side, they participate in Conferences, Seminars and Symposia,
Orientation and Refresher-Courses to boost their research and teaching for effective teaching. The admission
process of the Institute is managed by the admission committee which is responsible for designing admission
forms and prospectus and counseling of the students at the entry level. Thereafter, Students' learning ability is
identified after admission through various performances in the induction program followed by diagnostic tests
on Physics-Chemistry-Mathamatics-English, through a trusted third-party portal dedicated for Institute.
Students learning ability in successive years are assessed through the analysis of qualifying examination score
before admission to undergraduate program, communication and soft skills, behavioral traits, theory and
practical class attendance, performance in Class test/ Online test/ Practical experiment etc, participation in co-
curricular activities. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell conducts quality audits and conducts programmes for
improving the quality of teaching. The Institute is practicing flipped learning so it is easy to identify the student
and provide the guidance accordingly. Institute has world class flipped classrooms, interactive boards,
language lab, smart classrooms, and E-learning resources to provide the best learning to students.

The Institute prepares effective planning for execution of all the activities following the academic calendar.
This allows the teachers and the students to keep pace to their teaching and learning process.

The Evaluation process is a transparent and continuous assessment system, comprising written examinations,
class seminars, and assignments. Institute has adopted IT-enabled services for an integrated end-to-end
Examination Management System with unique modules and the benefits in conducting examinations with
utmost security and efficiency. The overall services have been distributed in three different frameworks:
Network Operating Centre (NOC), Examination Data Centre (EDC) & Central Valuation Centre (CVC). The
system is robust enough to handle large amounts of data and is equipped with a proper backup disaster recovery
framework. After the publication of the result, attainment of course outcomes are evaluated by the department
and suggested to the concerned committee accordingly for further action.
