The Governing Body is the highest body of the college and it is supreme decision making body. The Governing Body of the college meets at least two times in a year. In the governing body several issues pertaining to various academic and administrative matters were taken up, discussed and appropriate decision would be taken keeping the student development as its central agenda. The Governing Body strongly feels that the students should accomplish their desired goals and thus makes all the efforts (right educational methods – outcome-based education, infrastructure, equipment and tools) to creating a student centric environment. It follows the guidelines laid by the apex bodies like UGC, AICTE and JNTUH and comply them with utmost sincerity. The Governing Body continuously monitors the strategic plan and make suitable advice/direction for the administration to execute the plan.

In addition to the governing body, there are several statutory and other committees are in place to administer various activities related to academic, administrative and extension.

5.6    Mechanism/Norms and Procedure for democratic/good Governance

The management believes good governance is essential to run an effective system for the growth and development of an institution and enhancing its outcomes. The objective of this focus on decentralization of the governance and delegating responsibilities to various senior functionaries and heads of the departments. This objective promotes inclusiveness and participatory management style of functioning. As an integral part of the governance, the management delegated power (both administrative and academic activities) to the Principal and academic heads for smooth running of the institutional activities. The decentralization also helps the decision making with proper authority and financial power. Thus, decentralization has shown a significant impact on the policy making, planning, and management with reference to engineering education. The college includes all the stakeholders while framing various guidelines to fortify the systematic functioning of the college. At the same time, decentralization should be seen as a means of improving the efficiency of the system and its quality. There are several committees, both statutory and other, are in place to administer and effectively govern the institute.

The members of the Governing Body (GB) have responsibility for institutional performance. The chairman and members of the GB are actively engage themselves in the institute developmental activities. All of its decision and policies are made in the best interest of the institution with due consultations with the concerned stakeholders. This top-down approach of the GB not only motivates the stakeholders but also effectively helped the development of institute. The minutes of the governing body, other committees and academic activities are published on the college website as act of transparent governance. The information is also shared with the employees through various meetings and circulars from time to time. Achieving academic excellence requires that the all the responsible people work together with defined role, responsibility and authority. The college organization chart provides an insight into the overall structure and authority with responsibility of various administrators and their levels in the organization.

There are as many as 24 active committees in the college which work constantly to uphold all- round development of the students. The following are the few operational level decentralization of various activities in vogue in the institution: High Level Committees: The Governing Body and Statutory committees partake in the overall development and growth, policy decisions, financial and disciplinary issues. Middle Level Committees: Principal, Deans, COE, Associate Deans, and HODs partake in rules and regulations, academic development, curricular and co-curricular activities etc. Lower Level Committees: Various committees constituted for purpose of monitoring the policies and rule and regulations of the institutes.

Thus the IQAC monitors the continuous quality improvement of the academic processes. The two best practices and bench marked processes of the College are Key Performance Indicators, and Setting the quality Bench Marks.

Key Performance Indicators: The performance of a department is based on various parameters that play a key role in the assessment of quality. The assessment for quality improvement is done regularly and report is generated for all the departments every month, every semester and every year. Few Parameters on which the quality is measured are the academic performance of the students, success rate of the students, academic audits, number of publications done and the quality of the journal in which it is published, include the number of faculty awarded PhDs degree in that year, number of funded research projects, total grants received, patents applied and granted. Besides these impetus is also given to consultancy works and faculty’s contribution to writing books.

Setting the quality Bench Marks: The IQAC has initiated a standard for setting a performance at two levels viz the Faculty level and the Department Level. First bench mark set for the faculty are based on the number of papers published in International Journals of repute like IEEE,

Elsevier, another being Doctorates form a cluster and work together for publications and also write proposals for funding projects, Faculty refresher courses, one week or FDP program guiding at least two UG projects, pursue online certificate courses, student’s feedback and maintenance of academic performance index (API) score. The bench marks on which the departments assessed are, the no of paper publications maintained with a minimum set at 1:1 ratio, funding projects starting with minimum 20 Lakhs per annum, consultancy work with minimum 20 lakhs PA, Faculty Development Programmes, Workshops, Hands-on Training Programmes, Higher education guidance, Student publications, Student Innovations, Student hardware working porotypes, Outcome-based education, computing CO-PO attainment and analyzing the impact of the TLP in deriving the outcomes, Increasing success rate of the students right from the first year. In order to gauge the true reflection of the activities carried out by the performance metric used in strategic management to identify and improve various internal functions, departmental score was devised and used to measure efficiency and effectiveness of the processes.

The institute has established IQAC Committee as per the guidelines of the Apex Bodies. The committee is recently reconstituted and approved by the Governing Body in its 20th Meeting held on 14-03-2020.

15.18.3 Soft Skill Development Facilities

Many of the students enter the portals of the institution are from the first-generation families who look for a job immediate as career option after completion of their graduation. The challenge here is that their eligibility for a campus placement opportunity (the industry expects a minimum of

60% marks at both 10th and 12th standards). The college is totally concern about this. In order

to facilitate the students to improve their academic performance and communication skills the college felt there is need for continuous skill building activity. Accordingly, a dedicated student skill development cell was established in the year 2016. The main objective of the Skill Development Cell is to bridge the gap between academia and industry and train the students on the required skill sets. Students are trained on employability skills to suit the requirement of the industry.

The institute hires skilled trainers specialized in various fields related to the requirements of the job market. The students are trained in areas of Aptitude knowledge, Quantitative theory, Soft Skill and Technical Skills. These trainers offer courses for the 2nd and 3rd year students for the semester and the syllabus is designed accordingly to suit the requirement of the job market. Apart from the regular classes, students are also provided the industry related training for 15 days or weekly based on the student’s requirements. Gradually the trainers were taken on rolls and on full time job in order to spare more time and focus for the training and imparting skills. The impact of this shown a gradual increase in the placements due to persistent efforts in preparing and training the students for employability. Most of our students before they graduate, get job offers from companies of repute like, Cap-Gemini, Tata Consultancy Services, Amazon, Salesforce, Wipro and several others.

There are several students who opt for the internship; however, the students don’t have a clear idea of how to get the internship and the various assessment processes. Hence, the Student Skill Development Cell assist such students to go through the process and help them to attend and clear the interview. Some of our graduates prefer going for the higher studies in the foreign universities, however, they cannot afford to go without the scholarship. Hence, they need to appear for various test like GRE, TOFEL, PTE, IELTS etc, the trainers also extend helping hand and personal guidance to the desired students for achieving success in the test. The cell also extends its reach to the staff and faculty in aiding to improve their communication and connect with the industry for fetching a professional internship during the semester breaks. Since the Student Skill Development Cell also offers the assistance to the faculty/staff it is named as competency Development Cell (CDC) in the year 2018. The cell is headed by a senior faculty in the capacity associate dean of the institute. The competency development cells focusses on gathering the requirement of students, staff and faculty through various surveys and identify the gaps and offer suitable services for enhancing the competencies of the concerned.

15.19.6 Students’ assessment of Faculty, System in place

FEEDBACK ON FACULTY

Feedback on all courses will be collected through online from the students twice in a semester. The first feedback will be collected at the middle of the semester i.e., before first midterm examinations and the second will be collected at the end of the semester. During the first feedback a questionnaire consisting of 5 parameters is adopted and a 10 parameter questionnaire along with feedback on course outcomes is taken at the second feedback.

Each parameter is measured based on the rating assigned to it i.e., 5 for Excellent, 4 for Very Good,

3 for Good, 2 for Fair and 1 for Poor. Each parameter average is measured by calculating the average number of students given against each rating. Final feedback of a faculty is measured considering the average rating given against each parameter.

Five Parameters used to collect the Feedback at the mid of the semester:

1. Has the Instructor clearly stated the Learning Outcomes of the course?
2. b. Was the class controlled and discipline maintained?
3. c. How effective are the communication skills of the Faculty?
4. Was the Instructor enthusiastic about teaching the class and invited questions and comments from students?
5. Has the Instructor related course material to real life situations?

Ten parameters used to collect the feedback at the end of the semester:

1. Was the class controlled and discipline maintained.
2. b. How effective were the communication skills.
3. c. Provides up-to-date information on the topic(s).
4. Did the faculty use real world examples and cases.
5. Was the class interactive and doubts were clarified. f.      How was the presentation style of the faculty.
6. g. Encourages students to solve complex problems in the clas h.     Makes objective and impartial evaluation of assessments.
7. i. Sincerity and commitment towards academic work.
8. j. Approachable after class hours for discussion and advic

Student Participation Percentage:

On an average 80% of the students will be participating in the feedback process.

Feedback analysis Process and Corrective Measures:

The collected feedback will be analyzed based on the rating given against each parameter of evaluation. Based on the final average of the feedback, corrective measures are taken by:

1. Interacting HOD with the faculty to identify the reasons for not performing well.
2. Providing further guidance in the subject by available senior faculty / other faculty who taught the same subject.
3. Deputing faculty to FDPs if required.

Faculty who get better feedback will be rewarded by giving more weightage in faculty annual self- appraisal for the consideration of the increment

20. Best Practices adopted, if any

1. Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE)

The entrepreneurship and startup culture are the trend and the government of India has given a huge thrust promoting the culture of innovation and incubation at the higher educational institutions in general and Engineering Colleges in particular. Taking a cue from this the college initiated promoting the culture of innovation and incubation among its students. Accordingly, the college has established a Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) to promote and support the spirit of entrepreneurship among the graduated and graduating students.

Entrepreneurship education imparts qualities at individual level such as self-motivation and financial responsibility. In addition, this kind of education empowers people to have self- discipline since entrepreneurship involves taking well calculated risks. People who have gone through this kind of training are able to recognize opportunities. Entrepreneurship education also encourages innovation in the running of organizations.

Teaching people innovative ways to make a living enables them to take control of their circumstances. In Tanzania, for example, entrepreneurship education is being used as a tool to empower women. Technically trained women, for example, struggle to find employment in a male dominated domain. The education is aimed at improving their self-confidence and giving them a chance at becoming self-reliant so that they are not totally dependent on employment. This form of education also builds up self-awareness.

The CIE wishes to facilitate the creation of ideas and inventions that benefit society. To this end, CIE has established an Incubation center and adopted this Incubation Policy to provide guidance and management structure to facilitate the development of entrepreneurship. The incubation center is registered as separate LLP Firm with name “ABIT Experimental hub Private Limited” and all the incubated firms are registered under ABIT Experimental hub private limited. ABIT Experimental hub Pvt Ltd, under the aegis of CIE ABIT and supported by the institute that funds, mentors and nurtures ideas, startups and entrepreneurs. Virtual incubates can operate from anywhere in India. Incubation center supports:

• Early stage startups
• Mid to large sized companies with developed ideas
• Mentors to help our startups

Primarily the aim of this training is to enable creation of employment as unemployment is a rampant problem in many societies. Entrepreneurship education aims at empowering people to create employment opportunities. Small and Medium Enterprises account for half the private workforce in India. Most people seeking employment depend on entrepreneurs to embark on new ventures and hire them.

Entrepreneurship Activities on campus

Various Activities were organized regularly to encourage and  support students  and faculty members.

Frequency of the activities is weekly, monthly and annually.

1. Entrepreneurship Talk series
2. Entrepreneurship Awareness camps
3. Ideation camp
4. Business Development Boot camps
5. Visit to startups
6. Faculty development workshops
7. Establishment of Entrepreneurship development cell
8. Organized E-Summit 2018 in the college

Start-ups like Utor AI, GRAD, Acads360 India, Strada Technologies, FATCAT and Aakriti were a few start-ups that emerged here and the journey of entrepreneurship continues very promisingly. The college is hopeful to take this initiative in a big way with the support of EDI, MSME, and Government of India.

1. Student Skill Development Cell (Competency Development Cell)

Many of the students enter the portals of the institution are from the first-generation families who look for a job immediate as career option after completion of their graduation. The challenge here is that their eligibility for a campus placement opportunity (the industry expects a minimum of

60% marks at both 10th and 12th standards). The college is totally concern about this. In order to facilitate the students to improve their academic performance and communication skills the college felt there is need for continuous skill building activity. Accordingly, a dedicated student skill development cell was established in the year 2016. The main objective of the Skill Development Cell is to bridge the gap between academia and industry and train the students on the required skill sets. Students are trained on employability skills to suit the requirement of the industry.

The institute hires skilled trainers specialized in various fields related to the requirements of the job market. The students are trained in areas of Aptitude knowledge, Quantitative theory, Soft Skill and Technical Skills. These trainers offer courses for the 2nd and 3rd year students for the semester and the syllabus is designed accordingly to suit the requirement of the job market. Apart from the regular classes, students are also provided the industry related training for 15 days or weekly based on the student’s requirements. Gradually the trainers were taken on rolls and on full time job in order to spare more time and focus for the training and imparting skills. The impact of this shown a gradual increase in the placements due to persistent efforts in preparing and training the students for employability. Most of our students before they graduate, get job offers from companies of repute like, Cap-Gemini, Tata Consultancy Services, Amazon, Salesforce, Wipro and several others.

There are several students who opt for the internship; however, the students don’t have a clear idea of how to get the internship and the various assessment processes. Hence, the Student Skill Development Cell assist such students to go through the process and help them to attend and

clear the interview. Some of our graduates prefer going for the higher studies in the foreign universities, however, they cannot afford to go without the scholarship. Hence, they need to appear for various test like GRE, TOFEL, PTE, IELTS etc, the trainers also extend helping hand and personal guidance to the desired students for achieving success in the test. The cell also extends its reach to the staff and faculty in aiding to improve their communication and connect with the industry for fetching a professional internship during the semester breaks. Since the Student Skill Development Cell also offers the assistance to the faculty/staff it is named as competency Development Cell (CDC) in the year 2018. The cell is headed by a senior faculty in the capacity associate dean of the institute. The competency development cell focusses on gathering the requirement of students, staff and faculty through various surveys and identifies the gaps and offer suitable services for enhancing the competencies of the concerned.

III. Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS)

Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) is a unique program offered by the college in which teams of undergraduate students’ design, build and deploy the real systems to solve engineering-based problems for local community. EPICS programme was initiated by Purdue University of the United States. The main objective of EPICS is to expose student to address the societal issues and to make the students socially responsible by finding and providing viable solutions for the problems stated by the community partners. EPICS faculty has been mentored by Purdue University Professor, Dr. William Oakes, who is the founder of EPICS program at Purdue University. The EPICS in IEEE program connects engineering with community service in four categories of community improvement effort:

• Access and Abilities – By bringing together student branches at universities, secondary students and nonprofit organizations, there is a greater ability to solve accessibility issues within communities. EPICS in IEEE Access and Abilities projects help enable adaptive services, clinics for those in need (such as children with disabilities), programs for adults and assistive technologies.
• Education and  Outreach  –  EPICS  in  IEEE  strives  to  help  young  students  to discover the benefits of science, math, technology and engineering for their futures. Many projects give students hands-on experiences in order to stimulate their interests in those fields.
• Environment – Many EPICS in IEEE projects concern themselves with new ways to create electricity and energy, recycling and the use of renewable energy sources. Through these EPICS in IEEE projects, young students learn about the impact of environmental issues and how engineering can be part of the solution. They also gain exposure to potential jobs with a growing demand for alternative energy and environmental solutions.
• Human Services – Through their experiences in Human Services EPICS in IEEE projects, students find connections between engineering and the tremendous scope of community needs globally. This includes homelessness prevention, affordable housing, family and children agencies, neighborhood revitalization and local government.

This program became popular among the students as it gives more exposure to them and also establish connect with community and an opportunity to solve their problems with the application engineering.

A team of 15 college faculty members from various departments have enrolled in this program voluntarily to be the mentors for the students. These 15 faculty members have successfully completed the Design Thinking Course which is a six months course. In the month of April 2018, the college has signed an MOU with IEEE and EPICS in Purdue to introduce this EPICS course in the curriculum.

Eleven modules of Social Innovation and Engineering Explorations courses were successfully implemented so far to the students. As a part of pilot program, prototyping is also being done since 2017-18. The implementation phase has started and as a part of it five different projects and process are successfully completed. Thus, the EPICS included in the curriculum from the academic year and it profoundly helps in attaining the desired graduate attributes expected from the undergraduate engineering students of the institution.

1. IV. Innovative Teaching to achieve Program Outcomes

Innovative teaching is necessity for all teachers in order to meet the educational needs of the new generations. The purpose of education is not just making a student literate, but adds rationale thinking, knowledge, ability and self-sufficiency. The college practices Outcomes-based Education (OBE) approach in all aspect of TLP. Faculty members of the college use innovative teaching methods and techniques to fulfill the needs of OBE system. Some pedagogical initiatives used include role-playing, case studies, group projects, think-pair-share, peer teaching, debates, Just- in-Time Teaching, and short demonstrations followed by class discussion. The primary purpose of this practice being followed is to practice Student Centric Learning and strengthen technical Skills through Course-end projects and interdisciplinary projects and usage of Technology in teaching learning practices.

Active learning has enhanced the team spirit, learning capabilities and technical skills of the student. It created an environment to think more about technology, research and societal problems and find a solution for the problems around them, which also created a responsibility towards addressing the societal problems. Many of the students are part of research projects leading to patents, publications, startup ideas and few startups are initiated in the campus related to day- to-day student life problems. The proactive involvement in course-based projects enhanced the team spirit and motivated towards participation in National and State level competitions as well. The students’ success rate improved and this is reflected in quality and statistics of the placements. The employer’s feedback is a clear testimony of this claim. The students opting for international studies are able to come up with good grades and involve in research because of the self and interactive learning aptitude.

1. V. Online Student Feedback System

The college has a robust Online Student Feedback System (OSFS). OSFS is a web application which provides a base to conduct student’s feedback online. Transparency and precision are the hallmarks of this system without any room for tampering. Feedback from students allows the institution to evaluate how its service provision is viewed by its most important stakeholders. This system was initiated to override the problems that the students face in the institution. The students, in a convenient, consistent and anonymous manner can submit their feedback about the faculty, the facilities and the courses offered to them during their period of their study. This system approaches all about institutional and educational practices and processes that are taken into consideration and the student’s concerns of the level of the knowledge they receive. This procedure ensures that there is a good and cordial relationship between the students learning environment and the teachers. This has been very effective in identifying the issues related to curriculum and facilities successfully.

The results of the student feedback process, as well as the recommendations and the action taken are important considerations for the program review which each department is required to undertake. Online Feedback System has been instrumental in gathering the required information form students about the faculty, facilities and courses. It has also been an effective quality checking device that provides scope for improvement in various sections, thus enabling a positive learning environment for the students.

However, a few problems have been encountered which are divergent in terms of gathering productive feedback. In some instances, a few students were found to be deviating from what was required of them and in few other cases of students are not providing exact feedback and also showing low levels of interest were also registered. Overall this system implemented with great transparency and feedback taken was reviewed seriously and necessary corrective actions were also taken for improvement.
