1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Dantuluri Narayana Raju College (D.N.R) was established in 1945, before India got Independence, and was an
offshoot of the National movement and renaissance thinking. Being agrarian, the Godavari region had been
kept out of the higher education in the Pre-Independence period.
Sri Dantuluri Narayana Raju, a freedom fighter, an activist and a visionary wanted to provide the uneducated
rural masses with the hither to unthinkable and unreachable source for their overall development and welfare
i.e... higher education. That visionary, with the help of a limited number of committed lieutenants and
Philanthropists, strived hard with a missionary zeal and realized the establishment of a college at Bhimavaram,
Known as West Godavari Bhimavaram (W.G.B) College in 1945. In 1964 it was renamed as Dantuluri
Narayana Raju (D.N.R) College in memory of its founder. Under this premier association DNR College of

Faculty members are shifting the focus over last few years, to a student centric learning process, in place of
conventional teaching-learning process of transferring the knowledge to students, through classroom
lectures. The focus is on knowledge transfer and learning through students active participation and
involvement. The faculty provides a platform to students to explore independently, learn through self study
and guides them to develop effective and lifelong skills.
1) Active learning: The faculty adopt active learning by involving students in the learning process more
directly through the activities like Brain storming, quiz, debate, group discussions, role play, games, model
making, mini projects, presentations, essay writing, elocution, case studies and simulations on technical
content.
2) Collaborative Learning: This is implemented by forming student teams, working jointly to solve a
problem, complete a task/project, participating in debates or design a product.
3) Inquiry-based Learning: Students are encouraged to search and make use of resources beyond the
classroom for investigation of open questions/problems, developing their critical thinking and increasing
understanding levels by conducting review of research papers, surveys, etc.
4) Cooperative Learning: The faculty focus on cooperative learning methodologies. Students work
together to maximize their own and each other’s learning in student chapters and also while performing
various activities using think-pair-share, round table techniques, etc.
5) Problem based Learning: In projects/competitions, participating students are assigned different tasks,
assignments, portfolios, activities in which students engage in complex, challenging problems and
collaboratively work towards their solutions by using inter-disciplinary knowledge such as design and
implementation of Software/Apps, Design and building Robots etc.
6) Experiential Learning: Field based experiential learning like Internship, service learning and class
based experiential learning like role plays, games, case studies, simulation, virtual lab and presentations are
practiced.
7) Project based Learning: Students work on application of theory learned through projects/model
building/simulation in the form of design and fabrication of some systems. It helps to bridge the gap
between theoretical concepts and its practical applications. The effective phases of survey, case study,
implementation, testing and report writing ensure the required project–based learning among the students.
Some subjects are augmented with learning through implementation of mini-projects.
8)Experimental Learning: The faculty members maintain foster learning environment by engaging in
rich experiential content of teaching through experimentation, demonstration, visual aids, periodical
industrial visits, organizing exhibitions as well as presenting papers. Usually, students present seminar on
contemporary topics as well as state-of-the-art technologies.

Creativity and innovation bring about interest and motivation to learners as well as trainees, which
eventually lead to learning. Perhaps the simplest way to transform a class in a powerful way is to adopt
active learning strategies that get students working with course material in the classroom either
individually or in groups. Active learning strategies, unlike open class discussions are timed, structured and
designed to give students a chance to learn by acting on a specific piece of content in a specific way.
Students learn material better when they engage it actively rather than absorb it passively. The institute
introduced e-learning platforms to facilitate independent learning where students can access online course
content. Thus e-learning platform bridge the gap between classroom learning and advanced learning.
Teaching–learning is a phenomenon where the teacher and the student are learning. By this method, the
teacher is refining his/ her subject knowledge and effective teaching skills, where as the student finds it
easier to understand the subject and its application. Our teaching faculty‘s endeavor is to follow this
method meticulously so that both the participants get benefit and value addition to their efforts.
Traditional teaching has been replaced with more innovative and creative ways of disseminating, sharing
and facilitating knowledge in students. As both are involved with commitment, through this method, an
interest has been created in the student and the teacher to encourage the student to come out with new and
innovative ideas. This method also motivates both the teacher and the learner.
A teacher finds out innovative learning ways by using teaching aids to encourage the student’s
involvement. In this endeavor, our faculty demonstrate live/practical/ day-to-day example to discuss a
topic, cooped with technology. This teaching-learning innovative method would certainly encourage the
students to raise questions and get answers to their queries with working model development. This kind of
support would certainly enhance their innovative skills and creative ideas.
The following are the technologies and facilities for effective teaching and learning:
All departments are well equipped with ICT-enabled facilities for teaching.

The College has its own system of continuous internal evaluation of the students within the frame work of
university regulations. There is a two stage process at the institution level for continuous evaluation of
students: Formative Assessment and Summative Assessment put in place as per the instructions of the
University.
Formative Assessment:
The IQAC mandates the teachers to use classroom tests for the evaluation of students.
The College has the practice of conducting Question-Answer sessions to understand the learning
levels of students and evaluate the concept clarity.
Student Seminars to assess presentation skills and ability to participate.
Syllabus based quiz to assess the ability to think, connect the concepts and interact with the group.
Assignments for each unit.
Summative Assessment:
As per the JNTUK regulations, two internal mid-term examinations will be conducted. As per R13
regulation, the better performance in either of the examinations is considered for internal marks. As per
R16 regulation, the better performance will carry 80% and other one carries 20% of weightage in the total
30 marks allotted for internal tests which include a descriptive examination for 15 marks and an objective
online quiz for 10 marks, 5 marks for Assignments and 70 marks for university semester end examinations.
There shall be a continuous evaluation during the semester for 25 internal marks and 50 semester end
examination marks. Out of the 25 marks for internal, 10 marks for day-to-day work,5 marks for record and
10 marks for internal test conducted by the concerned laboratory teacher.

framework.
Project Review Committee (PRC) is formed for every department consisting of Head of the
Department, Project In charge and two senior faculty members.
Students are formed into different groups consisting four or five in each. The groups collect and
review the literature on a topic and submit the title with objective, plan of action for title approval
to PRC.
Project Review Committee assesses and approves projects for each group. After obtaining the
approval of the PRC, each group is allotted to a faculty member as a Guide for the project and can
start the Project work.
Review meetings are conducted for the continuous assessment in project. Review 1 covers abstract
and block diagram, Review 2 covers implementation and Review 3 covers final results with code.
The Institution scrupulously follows the norms set by the University for conducting the internal and
external examinations.

To ensure proper conduct of descriptive tests, invigilators are assigned to each examination hall as
per university norms. Evaluation is done by faculty members within three days from the date of
examination.
The corrected answer scripts at random are verified by HOD to ensure the standard evaluation
process.
The corrected answer papers are distributed to students for verification. The scripts are submitted to
the examination section, after rectification of the grievances.
The marks obtained by the students in internal tests are displayed on the department notice board
and uploaded in the university web portal along with their attendance.
Day to day performance of the students is assessed for every experiment which includes regularity,
performance, viva and the promptness in submitting the record.
For laboratory courses, the marks scored by the student for each experiment is indicated in the
record. The independent learning, practical approach to the real-time applications is assessed
through viva-voce.
For the quality of the projects, the evaluation is done by Project Review Committee along with the
project Guides.
To ensure the transparency and refrain from malpractices, the university has introduced jumbling
system for theory end-examinations.
The end examination for the laboratory and projects shall be conducted by the external examiner
appointed by the University in the presence of internal examiner.

their needs towards the industry. Amid the Alumni meets, individual department grads are tented up for
discussing on improving the current standards thereby making them at par with the industry requirements
Apart from job opportunities they also conduct eye catching sessions on the strategic methods
to meet the necessities of diverse competitive examinations like GRE, TOEFL, and other job oriented
examinations such as RRB, SSC, Public service commission’s, etc., Alumni help students in creating
awareness about special scholarships and free ships available to different categories of students by
government and non-government organizations based on their qualification and skills. The members of the
association who already got placed in different organizations assist the ongoing batch students in getting
placed.
The main objective of this association is to escalate the career growth of their peers and make
their juniors succeed in their desired path. They share their encounters; refresh the current patterns in the
market. Association energizes their youngsters by extending rewards to meritorious students.
However, because of the great affinity shared by the college’s teaching and non-teaching staff to students,
the young graduates are in consistent touch with the college through different social networking sites.
The college alumni association has its portal/link available in college website for the fresh graduates,
who have completed their course to get registered in the portal by providing their basic information.
Alumni association was probably instrumental in college success. Alumni association is an added
feather in the crown of DNRCET.

The institute believes in the process of continuous assessment and evaluation of the students. As per the
university norms the institute was conducting two mid-term examinations for every subject. As the
students were acquiring less marks, IQAC decided to conduct remedial classes and weekly tests to improve
the performance in the end examinations. In this process the IQAC is effectively pursues the conduction of
weekly tests and its results.
DNRCET initiated Project based assignments as a part of encouraging the participative learning
recommended by IQAC. Students apply their knowledge on prototype design to improve their problem
solving methodologies by experiential learning. This method inspires students to obtain deeper knowledge
of the subjects. There is a fair chance of retaining the knowledge gained through this method rather than
through traditional textbook- centered learning. As it combines team- based and independent work,
students become self driven and confident. DNRCET Students developed prototypes, participated in Smart
India Hackthon 2017 and Smart India Hackthon 2018 conducted by MHRD, New Delhi. The departments

process the GoAP gave high priority for skills development through establishing Andhra Pradesh State
Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC). The DNRCET, Bhimavaram Campus has been selected as a
technical Skill Development Institute (t-SDI). The DNRCET is providing infrastructure in laboratories by
adopting latest technologies in engineering design to serve the needs of various industrial units, training the
students to improve employability, placement of students and enable the students to compete at the
national and international level employment with better remuneration and professional group.
Making the students, from rural background, come out of their mother tongue influence is a very big
challenge. Improvement of communication skills in English language is a pre - requisite in the present
multi - cultural corporate world.
The Practice
In addition to the above training from the laboratories, special slots allotted for building English
communication skills through English communication skills lab.
Soft skills by expert trainers in the campus for enhancing public speaking skills, confidence
building, handling critical situations, positive thinking, time management and presentation skills.
Group discussion, debate, just a minute, essay writing, storytelling, mock - interviews and also
competitions conducted regularly to help students understand and evaluate real time issues and
handle effectively the problems that they face in day to day life.
Evidence of success:
This project has evidenced a big success with a huge number of students who got training from this
project, enhanced their English communication skills, soft skills and their life skills, increased their
self confidence, and learnt corporate etiquettes.
Recently a few Polytechnic students from DNRCET are hired by a reputed MNC, and some more
students are waiting for offer letters.
1.Many students are from villages with poor communication skills and lack of industrial knowledge
becomes a tough job to the faculty to mobilize and create inertest.
2.Some students, especially girl students from rural back ground, are having least awareness. Due to
this they are not serious during the training period.
Response:
DNRCET is provided with a Technical Skill Development Institute. It is used to promote skill-
development & entrepreneurship in and around the rural areas of DNRCET. It is also serving as an
important task of providing high quality skilled manpower as part of the "Knowledge and Skills Mission"
of Government of A.P.As per some estimates, Andhra Pradesh will face an incremental Human resources
requirement of approximately ten million skilled workers from 2012 till 2022, across the high-priority and
emerging sectors. Thus the main objective of the program is to implement a structured and pragmatic
solution to skill & up skill the workforce in and around the rural areas of DNRCET and to increase
employability, and promote entrepreneurship in sync with Industrial growth.
To facilitate the above, the target population has been divided into seven segments, viz.: Drop outs,
Engineering skills, degree & PG, in-trade services, agriculture & allied, crafts, entrepreneurship
development. Separate programmes will be designed for each segment. A hybrid model where t-SDI
carries out its own programmes as well as value-adds & collates the training being done by other
departments is being adopted by the corporation to start with. Some unique & best of class training
programmes like Siemens Centers of Excellence Clusters, Capital Area Skilling, Train the Trainer, etc. are
part of the whole gamut of trainings to be offered at different levels. In addition to the practice training
offered at these t-SDI’s, it is considered that the course would be more effective and fruitful if relevant
material related to the course is also provided to the participants for revision and ready-reference.
Consequently, an attempt was made to create the requisite content by the experienced faculty and the
trainers. t-SDI is staffed with best of talent in this sector & will partner with leading training providers &
industry to carry out the training programmes. It aims to develop a best-in-class learning management
system and placement and tracking mechanism. Ultimately, it aims to be among the best training provider
organizations in the state.
During the span of last two years almost 2206 students got training from this project. They are:
