course (theory and practical). COs with POs are mapped to assess the learning by setting attainment targets
for students’ performance.
At the start of academic session, Principal conducts a meeting with deans and heads of the departments to
prepare academic calendar for the session. Heads of departments discuss action plans to arrive at an
optimal and effective way for implementing those plans. These plans are deployed through Programme
Assessment and Quality Improvement Committee (PAQIC) meetings. Time table is prepared for each
programme prior to the start of every semester. Each faculty prepares teaching file for the conduction of
theory and practical courses. Teaching file consists of important information such as course details, time
table, teaching plan and record of course delivery along with details of teaching methods and teaching aids.
A record of theory attendance, practical/assignment/tutorial, record of practical/tutorial attendance with
performance evaluation, record of project work engagement and progress is also maintained. Continuous
assessment report of student’s performance is prepared. The report is assessed internally by PAQIC which
includes heads of departments and class in-charges. It is used to monitor the attainment level of CO, PO,
PEO leading to attainment of Mission and Vision of the programme.
Institute aims at effective curriculum delivery by providing required state of the art facilities in classrooms,
tutorial rooms, seminar halls and laboratories. Institute encourages use of different teaching aids such as
softwares, LCD projectors, wall charts and models. ICT based teaching is practiced. Computer based
training packages, lecture series like NPTEL are used to make learning interesting. Additionally interactive
methods like videos, quizzes, seminars, objective tests, group discussions, are incorporated for effective
learning process.
Every faculty member is assigned a group of students for mentoring throughout the session. Mentors
conduct meeting with mentees and record their difficulties, requirements and suggestions to take necessary
actions related to curriculum implementation. Faculty Development Programs are conducted to enrich
faculty members with updated knowledge, comprehensive skills and right attitude. Faculty is encouraged
to participate in continuing education programmes run by elite institutes for exchange of knowledge and
skill. Above mentioned teaching-learning process helps students assimilate the curriculum effectively and
receive additional inputs in the form of technical skills needed by the industry.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 Reforms in Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE) system at the institutional level
Response:
The Institute is affiliated to R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur and follows the examination pattern of the
University. College has authority to test the students for 20% of marks.
Internal evaluation system of the college is continuously monitored and modified for its effectiveness.
Earlier, the internal evaluation was based upon one Sessional examination conducted at the end. The
pattern could not give justice to some students if they could not prepare well for the whole syllabus due to
illness, some important personal reason etc.
Thus, it was decided by the IQAC/College committee that one mid-term and one end-term sessional
examination should be conducted in each semester to give students a fair chance to perform. The system
was prevalent for about five batches. However, this system was not giving a practice for University
examination. With increasing competition at the university level, it was decided that a pre-university test
must be introduced at semester end to prepare the students for final University examination.
Accordingly, the present pattern is set wherein two mid-term examinations are conducted and at the end of
the semester, pre-university test is conducted on complete syllabus as per R.T.M. Nagpur university pattern
which mainly is a descriptive examination which tests the concept understanding, detailed mathematical
analysis and applications.
It was observed that students are able to clear University examinations with flying colors but fail to register
similar success at state and national level examinations like GATE as these examinations are mostly of
objective nature. Hence, it was decided two years back that objective tests are to be introduced to help the
students prepare for state and national level examinations. Apart from these examinations, class tests,
surprise tests, quizzes etc. are conducted by respective subject teachers. Assignments are given on a regular
basis and are also evaluated. The final internal assessment marks are calculated by considering all the tests
and assignments. Students are informed in advance about the parameters of internal evaluation system.
Laboratory work is assessed on a continuous basis and grades are given. Similarly, the Project work, case
studies and industrial visits are assessed by seminars delivered by students on a regular basis along with
viva-voce. Thus, it can be said that the college follows a Continuous Assessment System for Internal
Evaluation.
The examination schedule is displayed in advance in the academic calendar and is followed by entire
college. The quality of question paper is at par with most of the universities’ question papers. The
objective tests include questions from GATE and other important examinations in concerned subject. All
Page 37/121 21-08-2018 04:22:25

question papers list the COs for which the examination is conducted.
The answer books are evaluated in a given time and are displayed to students. Their doubts are cleared if
any and the results are finalized. Parents’ meets are conducted in each semester to inform the progress of
their wards and to take feedback from the parents as well.
After result finalization, CO, PO, PSO attainment is calculated by faculty members.
2.5.2 Mechanism of internal assessment is transparent and robust in terms of frequency and variety
Response:
The Internal Assessment system for both theory and laboratory examinations is totally transparent. Internal
Assessment is carried out in a systematic manner for theory, practical and project work as described above
in 2.5.1. All parents are given information letter well before start of the new semester indicating the
important events including examinations with probable dates to be conducted in forthcoming academic
session. The detail academic calendar is available on college website and displayed on notice-boards in the
Department. Thus, students know well in advance about the dates of examination and they can plan their
study accordingly. The information is available with parents also.
Students are informed about the parameters of Internal Evaluation system well in advance. They are
continuously reminded by the mentor teachers and class-in-charges to be regular in all teaching-learning
activities as they are continuously being monitored.
All examinations are conducted as per academic calendar. Students are given a fair chance of good
performance as examinations are conducted on small parts of the syllabus. There is a variety of pattern of
examination like Sessional, objective, class test, quiz etc. conducted at different times. They are permitted
to appear in the re-sessional examination if they fail to appear due to some sound reason in the regular
sessional examination. If student is not able to attend a re-sessional examination also due to medical
reason, then he is judged on the basis of any of the examination he has appeared in for the same topic. If
he/she has missed all examinations, then the student is given an opportunity to appear in an oral
examination or marks proportional to his/her performance in other tests are awarded. Students are
permitted to appear in re-sessional examinations for performance improvement.
A Parents’ meet is organized in each semester and information about the date and time is once again given
to parents either through telephonic call or via SMS. Parents are shown complete student record including
attendance, marks scored in each subject, assignments submitted, extra-curricular and other activities
attended by their wards. Parents can also view the answer sheets. Letters are sent to parents of students
Page 38/121 21-08-2018 04:22:26

having less attendance or less marks asking for improvement.
The examination schedule is prepared such that the students get an opportunity to appear in at least one
type of examination for the course and is evaluated. Thus, it can be stated that the evaluation system is
robust in terms of frequency and variety.
The answer copies of all examinations and grades of assignments or Practical examinations are displayed
as soon as the evaluation is carried out. Students check answer copies and put signatures on them. In case
of any discrepancy, they are advised to bring the matter to the notice of concerned teacher and get it
solved. The matter can always be discussed with mentor teacher, class-in-charge or Head of the
Department if remains unsolved at the subject teacher level.
It is always ensured that all students are satisfied with their internal assessment.
2.5.3 Mechanism to deal with examination related grievances is transparent, time-bound and
efficient
Response:
All the examinations are conducted as per academic calendar. Answer copies are shown and student
queries are solved by the concerned subject teacher till their satisfaction. Marks and grades are displayed
on notice boards and are available with class-in-charge and Head of the Department. Thus, the whole
process is very much transparent.
Mentors and Class-in-charges continuously guide the students including informing them the process of
tackling examination related grievances.
Internal Examination: Students first talk with subject teacher and get the matter sorted out. If problem is
not solved, they approach the class-in-charge who in consultation with subject teacher tries to find the
solution. If the matter still remains unsolved, students can always approach Head of the Department who
solves the matter in consultation with higher authorities if required. As per R.T.M. Nagpur University
directives, all internal marks are to be submitted on-line within a stipulated time frame. Thus, the process
of sorting out grievance becomes time-bound.
University Examination: Students bring to the notice of Class-in-charge problem faced in examination
form submission, issue of admission card or any discrepancy in University result. The matter is handed
over to the faculty- in-charge of University examination related matters from concerned Department. The
faculty member in consultation with Head of the Department and Principal reports the matter to
Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University through concerned clerk of the college who tries to get
the solution. If required, the faculty member personally visits R.T.M. Nagpur University and gets
Page 39/121 21-08-2018 04:22:26

appropriate solution.
As students can directly talk to the class-in-charge who is a subject teacher and hence is easily
approachable, the process starts quickly. Class-in-charge acts as a mediator between student and higher
authorities. Hence, the process becomes very efficient and student is not required to move around in the
college to get the things sorted out. However, student can always approach to Head of the Department,
Vice-Principal or Principal for his/her grievance and all authorities take an immediate action whenever
required.
2.5.4 The institution adheres to the academic calendar for the conduct of CIE
Response:
The Institute is affiliated to Rashtrasanta Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur. The university
sends academic calendar for whole session which includes dates for start and end of odd and even
semesters, dates for university examinations for regular students and students with backlog well in
advance. Vacations are also mentioned in the calendar given by R.T.M. Nagpur University. All affiliated
colleges have to follow the calendar of R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur.
College prepares academic calendar based on academic calendar given by R.T.M. Nagpur
University. Academic calendar of college shows dates for start and end of odd and even semesters, dates
for internal and university examinations and probable dates for other activities apart from regular
academics with sufficient time in between for the students for self-study and preparations. Follow up of
this calendar depends upon the University schedule. If there is a shift in dates as per university calendar,
similar shift takes place in college calendar. However, usually, the calendar is followed.
The Institute has adopted the Continuous Evaluation Strategy for assessment of students’
performance which is described in detail in 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. The assessment process consists of number of
parameters which include two mid- term sessional examinations and one pre-university test along with
class tests, surprise tests, objective tests, quizzes, seminars, practical performance and viva-vorce in each
semester. As explained in sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.4, apart from regular teaching-learning process, students
carry out many activities in each semester. Thus, it becomes imperative that all of these, i.e. academics,
activities and examinations can go together with suitable time span available for self-study and preparation
for examinations in between, calendar must be followed.
Thus, the institution tries to follow the academic calendar at its end. If extra time is available due to
shift in university examinations, it is utilized for arranging extra preparatory lectures for difficult subjects,
additional lectures for lateral entry students or a short term course on some advanced topic for the benefit
of students.

Apart from this, vision & mission statements are disseminated to all the stakeholders of the
programs through faculty meetings, student awareness workshops, student induction programs,
parents meet etc.
New admitted students are informed about these concepts at induction programs. Every teacher, before
start of his/her first lecture, informs course objectives and course outcomes. After completion of each unit
of the course, teacher again informs about the CO and tests the students for its attainment. COs are
displayed on all examination question papers and laboratory experiment manuals.
Students are informed about the objectives of any new program/ activity conducted for them and how it
will be beneficial for them in fulfilling the POs and PSO. Feedback is taken from students after every
semester in terms of achievement of POs and PSO through academics and other activities conducted in the
campus.
Thus, continuously POs, PSO and COs are disseminated to teachers and students.

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are
evaluated by the institution
Response:
As per AICTE guidelines and the model curriculum, the curriculum for each program is framed by R.T.M.
Nagpur University, Nagpur. It includes the subjects belonging to Basic Science & Humanities,
Professional courses and their distribution in core and elective subjects, Interdisciplinary subjects along
with seminars & projects. The curriculum includes technical theoretical aspects as well as practical
approach, including applications appropriate to the program. The curriculum is designed with an
expectation that being in a professional program, students will be acquainted with the latest technological
developments and extra efforts may be taken if required like arranging industrial visits and invited guest
lectures.
R.T.M. Nagpur University has provided the syllabus with Course outcomes (COs) for some programs
while Course teachers have framed the course outcomes for others. They are mapped with different units of
the syllabus. COs are informed to the students at the beginning of the course and are also available on
college website. Subject teacher informs students about the mode of assessment for evaluation of COs. In
general, there are two sessional examinations based on two units each and end semester pre-university test
based on whole syllabus. In addition to these tests, class tests, surprise tests, quizzes, objective tests etc.
are conducted and are used wherever necessary to assess the attainment of COs.
Program Outcomes are defined by National Board of Accreditation, New Delhi and are to be fulfilled by
all programs run by affiliated colleges while the Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) are defined by
individual programs. The add on course based and curriculum based COs are mapped with Program
outcomes and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs). Co-curricular and Extra-curricular activities, industrial
visits & training programs, Guest/Expert lectures etc. are conducted in order to fulfil some of the program
and program specific outcomes which are not covered by the regular program curriculum.
The CO attainment is calculated based on students’ performance in various internal examinations and
University examination in the scale of 1-3. It is observed that the attainment varies depending upon the
difficulty level of the subject and may lie in the range of 1-2 for the subjects in the beginning of the
program, which increases as students get accustomed to the Engineering curriculum and may lie in the
range of 2-3 by the time they reach final semester.
The PO and PSO attainment is calculated for complete batch of students which progresses through all the
courses of a particular program including Co-curricular and Extra-curricular activities and the project
work. The attainment is calculated based upon the association level, i.e., low-moderate-high, of a particular
course/ CO/ activity with respect to the PO or PSO in the scale of 1-3. The attainment level for POs and
PSOs for most of the programs lies between2.3-3.

Context:
The incidents of ragging in educational institutions are becoming a national issue. College wish that all the
senior students of KDKCE will respect the dignity of every student in the campus and express their
solidarity towards them and act as desired, so that we can continue to maintain “RAGGING – FREE
INSTITUTION” status for ever. Remember the fact: Awareness on ragging leads to eradication of ragging.
Practice
College practices zero tolerance on ragging of students. College has constituted Anti-Ragging Committee
to look into the matter related to ragging complaints, if any. The college has sets up squad of faculty
members. The duty of the squad is to keeps vigil on and off campus and also near-by area of the campus
before, during and after the college working hours. This act deters student not to indulge in any form of
ragging activity. The squad also visits hostel and near-by area to pass on the message to the students for
deterrence. Similar action is undertaken by lady faculty members for the girl students. College also
appoints specific staff to visit hostel during the late evening or night regularly and on special occasion
deemed necessary. The squad, along with the warden, counsel students not to indulge into any kind of
activity, which would invite disciplinary action against them. The hostel visit report is maintained by the
warden.
In case, the complaint related to ragging is received. The anti-ragging committee inquires the matter. If the
act of ragging is proved beyond reasonable doubt, the action is recommended to the authority and
disciplinary action is taken against the culprit. The action ranges from suspension from the class/institute,
rustication or if the matter is serious then, the same would be reported to the police for further action.
However, no major case of ragging reported in the campus and the college is near to zero ragging campus.

Example 2: Teaching – Learning Process (TLP)
The college believes strongly that the best approach to teaching and learning quality is to provide
freedom for teachers and students to undertake self-motivated improvement activities with the goal
of continuous improvement in their performance.
In addition to the expertise and knowledge of the teacher, which form the main input, views are sought
from students, visiting experts, and external examiners, graduates, parents, etc for necessary
inputs for improvement in the existing curriculum & teaching – learning practices. Moreover, college has
faculties deputed to the university academic bodies, which reviews and provide adequate inputs in the
improvement of curriculum.
The college has taken many initiatives to bring the improvement in the quality in teaching-learning
process.
Teaching and learning support: including initiatives targeting the teachers (i.e. Teaching), the students (i.e.
learning). Examples include continuing education for faculty, pedagogy enhancement, student support (e.g.
mentoring and career advice), support for student learning (focused on inputs, such as the introduction of
new pedagogical tools, or on outputs, such as the development of certain abilities for the students). These
initiatives make the teacher to identify benchmarks, promote good practices and scale them up across to
meets teacher and student expectations. A quality teaching framework allows the institution to monitor
support, track teacher and student satisfaction, and study the impact on the learning process.
In the process of achieving quality benchmarks, the TLP is assessed and necessary measures are taken in
delivery of content & assessment of understanding achieved is done. Through the assessment, the
attainment levels of course outcomes and program outcome are derived. The IQAC reviews the attainment
and issues further recommendations.
The methodologies of teaching – learning include the complete follow up of university exam schemes,
academic calendar of university and college, smart class room teaching, industrial visits, internship of
students, etc. These methodologies built up good academic career of the student.

Page 91/121 21-08-2018 04:22:50

Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)
Choice based credit system (CBCS) for PG courses, where the students can choose the prescribed courses,
as the core, and elective or soft skill courses, from a range of options, rather than to simply consume what
the curriculum offers. They can learn at their own pace and the assessments are graded based on a credit
system. It provides an opportunity and flexibility to complete the programme by earning the required
number of credits.
Student Centered Learning
Student-centered learning is an instructional approach in which students influence the content, activities,
materials, and pace of learning. This learning model places the student (learner) in the center of the
learning process. The approach includes such techniques as substituting active learning experiences for
lectures, assignments and problems requiring critical or creative thinking.
Newsletter to increase participation of the stakeholders
To improve the extent of participation of all stakeholders, college publishes newsletter describing the
outcomes, events and activities, quality improvement practices, the future plans etc. this will keep the
stakeholders informed, and would encourage them to put in more effort for improving the quality.
Industrial Visits and Collaborations with Industries
These practices are already a part of many technical programs. Providing the students an inside experience
of the industry gives the enough knowledge and equips them with the skill set that will help them survive
in the real world. This increases the credibility of the program.
Research and Development Cell
A properly functioning research and development cell will build a research culture among the students and
faculties. It will also help the teachers to translate their theoretical knowledge into action. Having a culture
of research and training inside the institution would provide practical skills and encourage faculties to take
up research projects and Ph. Ds.
Continuous feedback from various stakeholders
Collecting feedback is very important. One of the most efficient ways to achieve continuous improvement
is feedback mechanism. The feedback from students, faculties, alumni, and other stakeholders will give
necessary insights into areas of improvement.
Collaborating the practices of IQAC with departmental plans
For the academic quality enhancement, department takes up the recommendations of the IQAC. It has
been noticed with the continuous persistence and persuasion of the policy matters, the college have
witnessed the incremental improvements in many aspects viz. results, publication by staff and students,
attainment of doctoral status, performances in extra, co-curricular and extension activities by the students,
etc.

7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus
Response:
Roof Rain Water Harvesting (RRWH) at KDK Campus
Introduction:
Page 97/121 21-08-2018 04:22:52

Rain water harvesting (RWH) is a technique of collection and storage of rainwater into natural reservoirs
or tanks, or the infiltration of surface water into subsurface aquifers (before it is lost as surface runoff). One
method of rainwater harvesting is rooftop harvesting.
Objectives
To increase recharge of groundwater by capturing and storing rainwater, by rainwater harvesting

from rooftop run-offs.
To store the water for gardening & washing purpose.
Need for rainwater harvesting
1 Increasing water demand
The rapid rise in human population has made optimum use of fresh water imperative.
Urban water supply systems in particular are under tremendous pressure to meet the needs of the
population as well as industry and large-scale construction.
The increased need for water results in lower groundwater levels and depleted reservoirs.
Consumption of polluted water creates health hazards.
The use of rainwater is a useful alternative
2 Variations in water availability
The availability of water from sources such as lakes, rivers and shallow groundwater can fluctuate
strongly.
Unchecked rainwater runoff is causing soil erosion.
Collecting and storing rainwater can provide water for domestic use
Rainwater may also provide a solution when the water quality is low or varies during the rainy
season in rivers and other surface water resources.
3 Responsibilities towards protecting Nature
Using more rainwater helps to conserve & augment the storage of ground water
It helps to arrest sea water intrusion in coastal areas
It helps to avoid flood & water stagnation in urban areas
Reduces water and electricity bills
4 Advantage of collection and storage near the place of use
Collecting and storing water close to households improves the accessibility and convenience of
water supplies.
It costs less to collect rainwater than to exploit groundwater.
Only traditional knowledge, skills and materials can be used to collect the water and no government
technical assistance is required for repair and maintenance.
Collecting rainwater is the only way of recharging water sources and revitalizing dry open wells.
It gives an opportunity for communities to come together and work closer. It allows for the
decentralized control and community management of water.
It will provide productive employment to the rural poor in their own villages.
Page 98/121 21-08-2018 04:22:52

5 Quality of water supplies
Water supplies can become polluted either through industrial or human wastes or by intrusion of
minerals such as arsenic, salt or fluoride.
Rainwater is considered as fresh water.
Rainwater is generally of good quality.
Context of rainwater harvesting
The soil in the college campus has a good infiltration rate.

For the gardening purpose, water is required daily.
For the washing of vehicles large quantity of water is required.
This requirement is satisfied by the water stored by rainwater harvesting.
In the KDK campus rainwater harvesting system has been installed in Block A, Block B & Girls
Hostel. The roof runoff water is collected through network of pipe lines and stored in the wells.
There are three wells in the campus where the roof runoff water is stored. The total capacity of
storage is 900 m3. The remaining roof runoff water is allowed to infiltrate in the ground for
recharge. The stored water is used for gardening and washing of vehicles.
In the region, because of less rainfall, there is scarcity of water. This practice has solved the
problem of deficiency of water and the ground level of water has increased. The stored water is
supplementary for the gardening and washing purpose.
Water Harvesting Capacity of KDK Campus

Block, A=4067 m2, Block, B=2282 m2, Girls Hostel=477 m2

About 10% students and staff regularly use bicycles. The boy’s and girl’s hostels are very near to the
college campus, so students walk to the college daily.
b) Public Transport
Institute provides bus facility for students plying from different locations and routes. This adds to the
environmental conservation. Bus stop for city bus transportation service is located in front of the college,
hence it is convenient for the students using city bus service. The RTM Nagpur University Curriculum
includes Industrial and Site Visits for students of all branches. College buses are employed to carry
students to and from the Industries and Sites.
c) Pedestrian friendly roads
The roads inside the campus are pedestrian friendly as all vehicles are compulsorily parked in the parking
area.
d) Plastic-free campus
Efforts are taken by the institute to create plastic free campus. Students and staff are counseled against use
of plastic. Use of plastic is prohibited in the Seminar and Project reports of students.
e) Paperless office
The institute attempts towards making the office paperless. Open Wi-Fi facility is provided
throughout the campus and important information is forwarded to all by e-mails.
f) Green landscaping with trees and plants
Trees are natural source of Oxygen and are greatly responsible in reduction of the Green House gas ie.
CO2. Hence, care is taken to increase the green cover in the campus and conserve the Environment.
The college has a large number of trees throughout the campus.

It also has lush green lawns.
Trees like Neem, Peepal and Gulmohar are planted in large numbers. These are considered as more
Oxygen giving trees and hence better environment conservation.
More trees are planted each year to beautify the campus and to achieve eco friendly environment.
The maintenance of garden and plants has been outsourced and proper care is taken.
Environmental studies is a compulsory subject taught at 3rd/4th semesters of all engineering

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)
Response:
Best Practice – I
Personality Quotient (PQ) refers to the ability to understand oneself and others for effective
communication and teamwork. We, at KDKCE, believe that an individual’s personality consists of both
how much he/she knows and how he/she portrays himself/herself. Therefore, both, technical and
professional grooming is evident. Enhancement of PQ an integral part of all the student’s activities taken
up during each academic year. PQ provides a unique setting for developing valuable leadership skills and
capacities in individuals confronting diverse public and private sector challenges. It is said that majority
success traits come from personality skill besides technical skill blended with intelligence.
Title: - Making Continuous efforts in enhancing the Personality Quotient (PQ) of the students.
Objectives :-
The objective of developing Personality Quotient is to:
Prepare them on problem solving skills.

Provide symbolic, verbal, and graphical interpretations of statements in a problem description.
Make them able to understand team dynamics & effectiveness.
Make them create awareness on Engineering Ethics and Human Values.
Instill Moral and Social Values, Loyalty and also to learn to appreciate the rights of others.
Inculcate analytical thinking process.
Transform the students and make them ready for Campus recruitment.
Page 106/121 21-08-2018 04:22:57

The context :
Major percent of our success in life is based on our ability to communicate with and get along with others.
Therefore, a meager percent is based on our technical ability. Communication ranks among the top five
skills sought out by most employers, and one of the most difficult to find in the average students.
Undoubtedly, communication skill is an important aspect of a successful career. To be effective, you need
to understand how you communicate what is most important to you. Then learn how others communicate,
and how to simply adjust your style to connect more effectively with them.
KDKCE conscienciously moved ahead with an effort in developing personality quotient of its stakeholders
through numerous activities that provide platform to showcase their talents and make them notice every
nuance of varied personality.
The Practice
In pursuance of transforming the students and making them ready for Campus recruitment, college
adapts the strategy of fusion of co-curricular and extra- curricular activities. The program outcomes
along with course outcomes are achieved through well-thought activities, which make students to
bring-in positive changes and explore the excellence within them. Through the meticulous
assessment of the student’s attainment of PO & CO in each semester, college administration,
through the IQAC advisory members, suggests various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities
to be undertaken for the students so as to achieve the objective. The college, then based on the
nature and extent of the activity, ask the head of departments to plan and act. A
coordinator/incharge of the activity is decided in the meeting and modalities are worked out. The
event committee invites students to participate. The event is held with its entire objective leading to
development of personality quotient. Success of every activity inculcates personality traits in the
participating students. Many such activities are conducted every year for the intended purpose.
List of activities that were undertaken in recent year are as follows:
Debate, Robot war, Robot race, Student’s Parliament, Layout planning, Bridge-it, Amplifia, PLC design,
Student Development Program, Expert Lecture, EESA (Electrical Engineering Students Association),
MESA (Mechanical Engineering Students Association), CESA (Civil Engineering Students Association),
