help them to solve the problems and challenges of the life. Suggestions for revising and updating the
curriculum are collected from the Stakeholders by IQAC and reviewed by Department Advisory Board
(DAB). The Board of Studies (BoS) reviews the curriculum and syllabi, and provides suggestions for
improvement. The suggestions received in BoS on curriculum and syllabi are updated and passed on to the
Standing Committee. The Standing Committee reviews the recommendations forwarded by the BoS and
collates the common points related to the curriculum (Credits, L-T-P-C pattern, evaluation criteria) to the
Academic Council. Subsequently the Academic Council reviews and approves the recommendations and
if needed, sends back to BoS for review. It is then placed in the Governing Council for further course of
action. The Board of Studies and Academic Council meetings are conducted twice a year as per the
recommendations of the UGC.

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are
evaluated by the institution
Response:
Yes
Attainment of Course Outcomes:
· Assessment of CO is generated for individual course based on the assessment pattern. The attainment of
CO is calculated using the marks scored by the students in each category using direct and indirect
assessment methods. Each CO attainment is calculated based on the target fixed by every course
coordinator which is approved in the Department Advisory Board (DAB). DAB will review, analyze and
take necessary action for CO attainment.
· For the theory courses, the periodical test marks, end semester examination, assignments and innovative
practices (Quiz, seminars, open book test and library based assignments) are considered. The course
instructor needs to map questions to specific COs in the Assessment-CO matrix.
· For the practical course, the assessment tool is based on the continuous assessment of every experiment.
The experiments completed by students are evaluated based on their knowledge in designing, conducting
and analyzing the results.
Attainment of POs and PSOs:
· The POs and PSOs attainments are evaluated through direct & indirect measures. For direct attainment
measurement, all POs are adequately addressed through the selection of courses and their COs. Target
levels of attainment of POs and PSOs are set and the actual attainment of POs and PSOs are reviewed and
determined by DAB.
· The indirect methods considered for calculating POs/PSOs are co-curricular activities, extra-curricular
activities, program exit survey, alumni survey and employer survey. The survey questionnaires are given in
a scale of scores ranging from 1 to 5 and they are mapped to appropriate POs and PSOs. The average score
of the questionnaires are calculated as indirect attainment for the mapped POs and PSOs.
· The DAB needs to identify possible ways to improve attainment in terms of desired knowledge and skills
in the next academic year by reducing the gap. Based on DAB recommendation further actions are taken to
improve the PO attainment every year.

(b) Academic Council
(c) Board of Studies
(d) Finance Committee
Decentralization and Delegation of Powers
The regular administrative activities are headed by Principal of the Institution. The planning and
development of the institute and student affairs are headed by Dean-Planning and Development and
Page 84/130 20-01-2021 01:58:18

Student affairs (PDS). Dean – Academics, Training & Placement is monitoring the academic functions of
college, training and skill development of the students. Professor in-charge Research and Development is
taking care of research and development activities of students and faculty.
Case Study
Dean PDS suggested to introduce outcome based experiments in the laboratories replacing the existing list
of experiments set up. The basic goal of older laboratory system was to present the knowledge and skills of
the faculty to the students, and to provide them with an environment in which to learn, with little attention
to whether or not any student ever learns any of the material. By introducing outcome based experiments,
the student can clearly focus and organize their learning capabilities related to the outcome of each and
every experiment he/she is doing in the laboratory. Also, the outcome of each laboratory course is a
project, process or product relevant to that course.
This proposal was discussed in the meetings with the lab handling faculty and advantages and
disadvantages of implementing outcome based laboratory was discussed and finalized. The decision of
implementing outcome based experiments was suggested by Dean PDS in the Academic Council Meeting
for appropriate implementation.
The students also interestingly carried out the outcome based experiments and showed significant
improvements.
To mention a few:
In 18EC308-Digital Electronics Lab the students implemented skill through the following products
24 hour digital clock

Hardware voting system
Security logic with keypad
Similarly, In 18EE308-Electron Devices and Circuits the students implemented mobile phone charger due
to the implementation of outcome based laboratory.

6.2.4 Effectiveness of various bodies/cells/committees is evident through minutes of meetings and

implementation of their resolutions
Response:
Yes
According to the minutes of the 16th Academic Council Meeting dated 27.11.2017, Dr P Thangaraj
suggested the modifications to be made in the question paper by framing outcome based questions to
incorporate higher order thinking skills. The council accepted and informed him it can be placed in the
forum and proceed. This was proposed in 18th Governing Council Meeting dated 28.01.2019 for the
approval. After this, the activity was implemented in the department level.
So far most of the questions assess only memory based skills, seldom they cover higher order thinking
skills. In order to overcome the challenges faced in preparing outcome based question papers, training for
members of faculty was provided in batches. The training focussed on preparing lesson plans based on
2-Dimensional Revised Blooms Taxonomy (2D-RBT), delivery of lectures based on the lesson plan
prepared and setting question papers that will enable an average student to score minimum pass mark and
securing higher marks could be possible only by competent students.
Standard metrics are followed while setting questions based on real-time applications. Question papers
were prepared with three difficulty levels viz, Low, Medium and High in the proportion of 20-30%,
40-50% and 20-30% respectively

acquire on his/her graduation.
The parameters included for SPI are as follows:
NSS/NCC/clubs
Sports (Games/Athletics)
Class Responsibilities/ Association/FUTURA
Paper Presentation
Publication
Technical Events
Non-Technical Events
Industry: Internship/Projects/Out-reach Programmes
Project Contest
Patent/IPR
Image Building
Courses/Value Added Courses

6.5.2 The institution reviews its teaching learning process, structures & methodologies of operations
and learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms
Response:
Yes
The institution reviews its teaching learning process, structures & methodologies of operations and
learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms.
The overall performance is measured through academic and API audit. Hence this process is explained.
1. Audit Process:
Academic Audit
The Academic Audit is a model of reviewing the quality of academic initiatives made by the members
of faculty. It is based on discussions faculty, stakeholders and peer reviewers focused on a common goal:
to improve quality processes in teaching and learning and thereby enhance student success. During the self-
study phase of the Academic Audit, the faculty members analyze the key activities that regularly improve
the quality of teaching and learning. Faculty members reflect on how they organize their work and how
they use data to make decisions and deliver their lectures. The Academic Audit model involves a review
process by Academic Auditor Team. This team reviews a program’s self-study report, conducts a site visit,
and writes its own report that includes commendations, affirmations and recommendations for continued
improvement. The audit is conducted every semester to review the progress.
API Audit
A performance indicator or key performance indicator is a measure of performance which usually defines
the success factor. It is a method to measure the degree to which key objectives are achieved.
API score indicates the performance of a faculty / researcher in academics and research.
Various Performance Indicators measured are:
Teaching quality: credentials, knowledge and experience that the teacher brings with them when
they enter the class rooms
Research: aim to obtain as many projects as possible
Paper publication: Academic staff must produce publication that confirms their standing as
academicians.
Consultancy: opportunity to obtain an industrial attachment or contribute as an advisor as per
requirements.
Communication skills: The effectiveness of the communication will determine the success of the
Page 96/130 20-01-2021 01:58:22

teacher.
Concern for students: The degree at which the teacher contributes to their students learning.
Co-curricular activity: contribution of a teacher in activities, apart from teaching, for the students
overall development.
Currently updated: The degree at which an academician is updated with the current environment
and can link the current happening with his or her teachings.
Leadership: The ability to lead or guide the students in various areas.
Class room management: The way an academician manages the class effectively and efficiently.
The API audit is conducted half-yearly and the reports are analyzed to make any appropriate actions if
necessary.
2. Learning Management System (LMS)
LMS in BIT is implemented as an in-house development software through CampusStack E-Governance

system by the Software Development Cell (SDC) in order to improve the transparency, productivity and
efficiency of various academic and advance processes. In-house ERP (CAMPS) of BIT takes care of the
entire academic and non academic process including
Staff Management (Registration, Staff Attendance and Leave Management, payroll)

Student Management
Curriculum Management
Academic Process Management (course registration, timetable, attendance and internal marks,
question bank, lesson plan documents)
Examination Management (hall ticket, exam scheduling, result processing and grade sheets
management)
Library Management
Stores and Materials Management
Financial Accounting
Documentation Management and Analytics
BIT has successfully implemented CBCS since 2015 through its LMS. The student has the facility to select
the courses of his/her choice and the faculty for that course through CAMPS. Individual timetable is
generated for each student based on his/her choice of courses. Similarly faculty allotment and classroom
management is also enabled online to effectively conduct the course. Flexibility to add or drop courses in a
semester, based on the student’s pace of learning, is also enabled. Once the student passes a course, the
credits for the respective course is added to his/her grade sheet.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:

• Solid waste management
• Liquid waste management
• E-waste management
Response:
Solid waste management
Human night soil and urines are collected and sent to digestors for production of bio-gas in a
centralized location
With a view to conserving the environment, the Bannari Amman Institute of Technology has
installed two biogas plants (120 m³ & 90 m³ capacities) to make use of human and kitchen wastes.
Both the plants have been functioning since 2010 and the gas generated is used for cooking
Dead leaves are sent to the bio composting yard instead of burning and food wastes of about 400
kgs are digested in biogas plant. It produces bio-compost from the plant leaves and kitchen
vegetable wastes collected in the campus. Once in three months, 5 to 6 tonnes of bio-manures are
prepared and used for the cultivation of organic vegetables
Liquid waste management
Sewage water treatment plant with a capacity of 20, 00, 000 L/day to treat the waste water has been
Page 102/130 20-01-2021 01:58:27

installed. The water from the hostels and the college is treated and pumped back. This water is used for the
irrigation and gardening purposes
E-waste management
Test and Repair Centre (TRC) functioning in the college collects the e-waste from all the departments once
in every year and outsource the unused components (Computers, UPS and Printing systems) to external
agency. Reusable components will be repaired and upgraded by the TRC and returned to the departments.

Page 111/130 20-01-2021 01:58:34

2 Title of the practice: Skill Development Program
2.1 The context that required the initiation of the practice (100 – 120 words)
Almost four decades, the focus of the education system was to impart knowledge for graduates rather than
to improve their skills. The technical engineering syllabus was designed accordingly so that students gain
more of theoretical knowledge when compared to practical knowledge. This state existed in laboratories as
well. The students attend 650 contact hours in a semester on the coverage of syllabus as against 350 hours
mandated by syllabus. Thus, skill deficiency prevailed among engineering graduates which is a national
problem.
The graduates find it difficult to be placed in companies since they lack in practical skills. The industry
requires practical skills with supporting theoretical knowledge in their concerned field. Understanding the
need of the hour, and to prepare ready-for-industry graduates, the Skill Development Program was initiated
at Bannari Amman Institute of Technology from 2018 batch onwards.
2.2 Objectives of the practice (50 – 60 words)
Skill is a kind of knowledge that requires ability, critical knowledge, creativity, practice and experience to
perform a job successfully. Specific skill set areas include human relations, research and planning,
accounting, leadership, management and computer skills. Acquiring the skill set will help the students to
acquire jobs matching their skills to their required profession, or enhance the skill set for further career
progression.
2.3 The Practice (250 – 300 words)
After the introduction of Skill Development program, the timetable has been revised and optimized to 350
contact hours of theoretical classes and 300 hours has been earmarked to newly designed skill development
training. The skills required in the industry have been identified and grouped and the syllabus is framed
accordingly for each branch of study for the first four semesters. The grouping is a gradual progression
from simple to high end levels. Besides, the prerequisite knowledge, skill levels have been taken into
account while tabulating the skills.
The laboratory experiments are designed to improve their skills and the students will be assessed on the
effective use of the skills. Detailed compendiums of experiments that are necessary to impart these skills
with detailed protocols have been developed. This becomes a good source for reference to faculty
members. This protocol will help in uniform compliance by all faculty members. Experiments and detailed
protocols have been developed to assess the acquisition of skills by the students at the end of each
semester. To have a uniform pattern in the implementation of skill set, each department has prepared a
‘source book for skills’. The skill set syllabus is designed to meet all the skills expected by the industry.
2.4 Obstacles faced if any and strategies adopted to overcome them (150 – 200 words)
Obstacles that we overcame are the difficulty to meet the exact requirement the industry needs from
graduates, to create infrastructure for practicing the skill training sessions for all students and to employ
resource persons from all domain areas to train the students.
2.5 Strategies to overcome
Page 112/130 20-01-2021 01:58:34

Internal training sessions are arranged for faculty members.
2.6 Impact of the practice (100 – 120 words)
The students attain knowledge in their core subjects and are skilled in practical knowledge to compete with
any kind of jobs in their respective field.
2.7 Resources required
Resources such as industry trained skilled persons to train engineering students, laboratory facilities for
assembling, dismantling and testing of equipment’s, laboratory facilities for designing, fabricating and
manufacturing of engineering products, preparation of manuals for each skill training program and to
standardize the world skills setup in the campus for executing the skill training program were required.
Note: Two best practices are given above and the remaining best practices are given as additional
information.
