BNM Institute of Technology Self Study Report | 2017 Preface BNM Institute of Technology (BNMIT), an ISO 9001:2008 certified Institution is one of the seven Institutions managed by the Trust, M/s BNM Charities. BNM Charities was established in 1972 with a focused vision to impart value based quality education irrespective of social, financial or religious status with special emphasis to provide education at affordable cost especially to the girl child to continue their education after 10th standard by starting the pre-university college for XI and XII standards, and remained a girls college for 17 long years to ensure that the girl child did not drop out after 10th standard. The institute was located on the southern boundary of Bangalore thus addressing the needs of the suburban areas of Bangalore and nearby rural and semi rural areas. BNM charities then started the Degree College for the students to continue their education. It was only in the late 70's that the schools were started. BNM Institute of Technology was established in 2001 and is presently having nine departments, including basic sciences, with 166 faculty members to provide high quality technical education offering five undergraduate programmes namely, Computer Science and Engineering, Information Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, five post graduate programmes namely, Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Network Engineering, Software Engineering, VLSI Design and Embedded Systems, Computer Applications in Industrial Drives, and Doctoral programmes in most of the departments. Students are encouraged to do innovative projects to find solutions to societal problems. They also enroll for one or more clubs such as Nature club, Robotics Club, IEEE and similar Student Chapters, Programming club and Cultural club. Students participate in technical, cultural and sports competitions and have won many awards at State, National and International levels. Yoga classes are conducted, to begin with, for all first year students. Students have shown good performances consistently and bagged 60 Ranks at the University level. Seminars and workshops are conducted to encourage budding entrepreneurs through Entrepreneurship Development Cell. A few selected students are sent to Foreign Universities to have real time experience of research every year.

BNM Institute of Technology xii Self Study Report | 2017
SWOC Analysis and Future Plans of the Institution SWOC analysis Strengths: 1. Proactive and cooperative management: BNMIT has a very proactive and cooperative management. The BNM Trust is in the field of education for over 45 years and is dedicated to delivering the best education. The Secretary himself is a highly qualified Engineer and is a profound environmentalist with wide knowledge in flora and fauna of the world. He personally undertakes to educate students on need for environmental protection for sustainable growth. The governing council, the highest decision making body of the Institution, consists of eminent educationists and industrialist who contribute immensely to the planning and management of the institute. 2. Centrally located in the city with access from all places: The institution is very well connected to all places in the city which minimizes commute time. 3. Highly qualified staff: The institution has a policy of recruiting staff with qualifications as per AICTE stipulations. Further the institution employs staff with 3 or more years of teaching experience. This is a very important aspect in the performance of the institution. 4. Large numbers of staff are pursuing Ph.D. and research component is included in teaching learning process: The institution has a policy of encouraging the staff to register for Ph.D. and pursue a career of research. Currently about 50 faculty members are pursuing Ph.D. degree. During this academic year 4 faculty members have completed their Ph.D. degree and 6 more have submitted their Ph.D. thesis. Research aptitude produces a positive impact on the teaching process in terms of the perspective of the teachers. Almost all the departments have their own research centers affiliated to VTU. 5. A well structured teaching learning process is in place for outcome based education: The institution has setup a well structured teaching and learning process which is well documented. This makes it easy for new entrants and produces uniform results. Students are well informed about the process and are clear as to what is expected of them and what they can expect from the teachers. The institution is ISO 9001:2008 certified which ensures an organized quality process with continual improvement. 6. Well equipped library, infrastructure and laboratories: The institution as a policy provides infrastructure far in excess of what is needed for laboratory and other general facilities. This puts the students in an elite group for better learning. Weaknesses:
1. Institution is affiliated to VTU and hence cannot modify the curriculum: The institution is an affiliate college of the Visvesvaraya Technological University(VTU), Belagavi, Karnataka and VTU sets the syllabus and dictates evaluation process. So, the Institution has no freedom to have its own syllabii and little scope to contribute to University curriculum. 2. Limited parking space: The institution has parking space for 90% of its requirements of all the staff and students. Since it is located in residential area there is no scope for further expansion.
BNM Institute of Technology xiii Self Study Report | 2017
Opportunities: 1. Bangalore is a thriving hub of IT and research organizations: Bangalore is a thriving hub of industries, research and startups. This is a great opportunity for students and staff to interact with them by visits, guest lectures, adjunct faculty, internships and placements. The Institution exploits this opportunity and intends further exploiting on this opportunity.
2. Global availability of online resources for education: We are now in a period of globalized resource sharing, particularly in education. The institution is striving to exploit this advantage by encouraging students to take up online courses such as MOOC, Khan Academy etc. 3. Willingness of foreign Universities to collaborate: A large number of reputed foreign Universities are willing to partner with Indian Universities for collaboration. While some collaborations are not feasible due to o u r a f f i l i a t i n g University rules, this opportunity is being explored where possible. 4. Enhanced placement opportunity for students in core domain area: The major recruiters for engineering students are software service industries apart from a number of core industries. However there are many core industries in Bangalore which need competent engineers for which placement department of B N M I T i s working hard to attract more of these core industries for recruitment. Challenges: 1. Producing good quality research work with limited resources: As stated earlier BNMIT is a self financing Institution. This sets the limit for research funds and resources available. This together with limitations on the floor area is a major constraint in expanding research activity. This is being overcome by concentrating on only a few areas of national relevance and by getting outside funds. NAAC accreditation is one of those efforts. 2. Motivating staff to do research after considerable teaching load: BNMIT being primarily a UG teaching institution the load on the staff is considerable giving less time for independent research. Lower teaching loads are being worked out to promote research but this comes at a cost. 3. Building confidence in industries to invest in collaboration with college: Many industries come to BNMIT for placements. But none of them are willing to partner for research activities. The reasons are many and complicated. 4. Making student's learning industry relevant: All industries clamor for industry relevant teaching and learning but none are willing to deliver courses formally within the VTU frame work. However we are working towards forming a bridge. This is a big challenge as even teachers have less access to industry. 5. Meeting the higher expectations of stake holders such as parents and employers: The parents of many of our students have very high expectations with respect to salary and company, and employers seek industry ready students. 6. Aligning teaching-learning process to suite students with inhomogeneous abilities: Students with wide range of ranks from 1000-30000 take admission through different categories. This makes teachers job challenging to tune their teaching-learning process to cater to students with a wide range of capabilities.

Future Plans:
What we intend to do in the next five years ?
Taking into account the strengths, weaknesses opportunities and challenges the institution has the following plans for thrust towards its vision.
1. Accredit to NAAC and NBA to achieve academic excellence. 2. Setup incubation centre and strengthen ED cell to produce as many entrepreneurs as possible by mentoring students. 3. To collaborate with industries in specific areas of research/technology. 4. Increase the number of ranks in the University examinations. 5. Get 100% pass percentage. 6. Increase placements for students from 85% to 100%. 7. Construct a multilevel parking space to meet the requirements of all the students and staff.

Normally the curriculum is delivered based on the University calendar and fewer problems are encountered. Small adjustments in the timetable are made to take care of unequal distribution of working days.
One of the major problems faced every year is the late admission of lateral entry students who also need to take extra subjects in mathematics. A special set of classes are taken for lateral entry students to cover mathematics subjects and also to cover the units already completed in a regular class. These are built into the timetable and routinely handled. Unforeseen and forced holidays due to disturbances and other reasons are compensated by arranging extra classes.
2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?
Teaching and learning process is monitored by the following processes.
1. Review of performance by Governing council twice a year. 2. HoD meeting with Director, Dean, Principal once in 2 weeks. 3. Review and audit by PAAC and DAB. 4. Review by HoD as and when necessary. 5. Discussion on action plan after reviewing students’ feedback 6. Result analysis after every semester. 7. Feedback after conducting any special event.
Evaluation:
1. Student feedback after first test by all students. 2. Course exit survey at the end of course by all students. 3. Lab facility feed back once a year by final & pre-final year students. 4. Program exit survey by all outgoing students at the end of 8th semester. 5. Staff appraisal every year. 6. Alumni survey once every year. 7. Employer survey once a year. 8. Measuring achievements of Program outcomes against targets set once a year.

2.4.6 Has the institution introduced evaluation of teachers by the students and external Peers? If yes, how is the evaluation used for improving the quality of the teaching- learning process?
The college has evolved a special faculty appraisal procedure that takes into account teaching, research, student feedback, cooperation and other attributes of a faculty. The faculty will be counseled by the HoD, on the basis of the appraisal. A specific action plan will be evolved for the teacher to improve the performance. The complete process is done in a transparent way with the involvement of the teacher concerned.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?
The evaluation process of students which is set by the University (VTU) is available on the VTU website and in the syllabus copy. Students are made aware of the same.
BNM Institute of Technology 40 Self Study Report | 2017
Information to Students:
l At the time of entry of a student into the college, students and parents are given an orientation program where the student evaluation process is explained. The scheme and syllabus book published by the University is given to each student. l Students are provided college program schedule containing the timetable and academic calendar. This data is made available in CMS. l The Institution has a good counseling system, where a counselor is assigned a group of twenty to twenty-five students. The counselor monitors their performance on a regular basis and informs their parents about their internal assessment marks and attendance through CMS. Information to Faculty:
l HODs of each department ensure that the student evaluation process is explained to the newly joined teachers as and when needed. l A book of processes is made available to each teacher which provides guidelines for evaluation.
Information to Parents:
l Parents are briefed about the evaluation methods during the orientation program and Parent-Teacher meetings.
Information to other Stakeholders:
l Alumni and Industry representatives are informed about the student and faculty evaluation process in the DAB meetings.
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own?
Major evaluation reforms of the university
The evaluation method is given by the University and the college has no authority to change the system. Two years back (from 2015) the University changed from marks system to Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) which is in vogue.
The University process involves three internal tests for 20 marks (Teachers have been given flexibility to use evaluation method of their choice for 5 out 20 marks) and one final examination for 80 marks. The final result will be in the form of Grade point and grade point average.
Self-Initiated Reforms by the institution
l For final year UG and PG students, Project work is evaluated through ― phase wise project seminars internally as well as through University evaluation process. l Self learning : Self learning is encouraged through one or more of the following: IPL / Activities in class / open ended questions.
BNM Institute of Technology 41 Self Study Report | 2017
2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own? Three internal tests are conducted for each course on dates announced on website at the beginning of the semester. The question papers prepared by course teachers are scrutinized by senior faculty members in the department for appropriateness and quality. To bring in transparency in evaluation, scheme of evaluation is prepared by the teachers and is shared with the students. At the end, the students are allowed to go through the evaluation and to get convinced that the evaluation is fair. Any grievance in this regard will be addressed by the teacher and HoD if necessary. Evaluation of Self-Initiated Reforms by the institution
l IPL evaluation is done initially at the department level and finally by external experts from industry. (Refer to criterion 7.3.1) l Activity evaluation is done through well defined rubrics. l Open ended questions evaluation is done through scheme of evaluation. l Project evaluation is done at different phases based on well defined rubrics. l Technical Seminar evaluation is based on well defined rubrics. 2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have positively impacted the system. The University assessment done through the semester end examination is principally summative. The three internal tests performance is evaluated in a formative way. The college on its own has evolved a few formative assessment methods to improve student performance viz: 1. Taking student feedback on the teaching after the first test. This gives information for the teacher to improvise the teaching method. 2. Each semester, students build a project of social relevance which will be adjudged by industry experts and prizes to the tune of one lakh rupees is given every semester. This helps students build independent thinking ability. Some of the projects have been converted into product. 3. Students are asked open ended questions on topics of professionalism, environment and social responsibility of engineering decisions. This helps students to develop their capability to research on a topic individually and present the same. 4. Teaching / assessment methods such as quiz, pick and speak, group discussion, debate, poster presentation, cross word puzzles, alternate methods of doing prescribed experiments etc. are adopted for some courses to enhance learning experience. 2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc.) The internal test questions are set to map to the course outcomes and program outcomes which are explained to the student at the start of a course. The question paper also addresses the different Bloom’s skill levels. This ensures the questions are properly set. Senior teachers of the department check the question paper for quality. The teachers also use a predefined scheme of answers to evaluate the performance. The students have access to the answer books to check fairness of evaluation. Each assignment consists of questions on environment and societal effect of engineering decisions which the students research and answer. This inculcates in students independent learning and concern for the environment and empathy for the society.
BNM Institute of Technology 42 Self Study Report | 2017
Weightage: The overall development of students with weightage for behavioral aspects, independent learning, and proficiency in communication are assessed when allotting marks in Technical Seminar, Project Work, Open-ended questions in IA and activities in class. Marks are allocated based on the rubrics which consider all the above aspects. 2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students? The college has adopted graduate attributes specified as program outcomes (PO) by OBE. A detailed book of processes has been developed to ensure attainment, measurement and corrective action. The process book is available to all staff for implementation. The various departments of the college also specify their own graduate attributes specified as programme specific outcomes (PSO) along with the above graduate attributes. These attributes are attained through effective course delivery, IPL, open ended activities, assignments, hands-on labs, project-based learning, seminars and additional courses on current technology. Over all development of students is attained by encouraging student participation in sports, cultural events, NSS activities, environment/nature awareness camps, entrepreneurship activities and Club activities. 2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and University level? College level: Grievances with respect to internal assessment evaluation are clarified by the concerned faculty within a week after test. Teacher distributes bluebooks to all the students in the class and clarifies students doubts if any. If the grievance cannot be addressed by the course faculty, the student has the option to take it up with the Head of the Department. Discrepancies if any are treated with seriousness and adequately addressed depending on the nature of the problem. Grievances of any nature can also be shared with the counselors on a one-to-one basis. An exclusive student grievance redressal cell is also functional in the college. University Level: The college provides support to students with respect to the grievances in university exams evaluation (revaluation, challenge valuation) and other administrative discrepancies at university level.
2.6. Student performance and Learning Outcomes
2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If ‘yes’, give details on how the students and staff are made aware of these?
Yes, the broad outline of the learning outcomes is stated in the vision and mission of the college which is prominently displayed. The program outcomes are printed in all departments stationery and are displayed in each of the laboratories and staff rooms. They are also published on the college web site and the college management system and department newsletter. This allows the staff and students to see them often. At the course level the course objectives and outcomes are explained to the students at the beginning of each course by respective teachers and internal assessment question will be framed based on the course objectives of the respective course.
BNM Institute of Technology 43 Self Study Report | 2017
With effect from 2015-16 university has introduced the CBCS and has clearly stated course /learning outcomes. The course/learning outcomes are printed in the syllabus copy published by the university.
The same is made available for students and faculty.
2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress and performance of students through the duration of the course/programme? Provide an analysis of the student’s results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across the programmes/courses offered.
The students progress is monitored or measured based on the following parameters as per the University guidelines: Attendance, Test results and Final examination results.
The attendance of each day is published on the CMS and parents receive the information immediately through SMS when their wards do not attend a class. In a similar way test marks of each student is sent to the parents by SMS after completion of a test and is also published on the CMS for students and parents to see. The final University examination results are published on the University website. However, this is also sent to Parents through CMS. The counselor to whom the student is attached will monitor the progress and performance of the student, and talk to the student and parents, in case of any issues and help the student perform better.

2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes? The college has adopted OBE system to monitor, measure and develop strategies for continuous improvement in the teaching - learning process. The outcomes in each year, course wise and program wise are measured and compared with the targets set. If the targets are not achieved, course wise remedial action is prepared by the respective teachers and discussed in PAAC for implementation during the next year. If the set targets are achieved at least three times consecutively, higher targets are set for future years. This way the attainments are regularly measured and actions are taken to improve performance. Apart from the curriculum, in order to have complete correlation to the program outcomes, departments conduct additional courses by adjunct faculty. Activity related to each course is included to improve the learning outcomes. 2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the social and economic relevance (student placements, entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude developed among students etc.) of the courses offered?
The college has implemented the following measures to enhance the social and economic relevance of the courses offered. Innovative project lab: Every student is encouraged to take small projects of societal relevance and implement them. The projects are evaluated by industry experts and prizes to the tune of one Lakh rupees are given every semester. This encourages the students to solve socially relevant problems.
Centre for IPR: An Intellectual Property Rights cell has been created by the Department of MBA to bring awareness of the IPR issues and the procedures to apply for patent. IPR issues go hand in hand with the entrepreneurship and are an essential ingredient. Students become aware of these legal issues. Entrepreneurship Development cell: A separate cell has been created for development of entrepreneurship amongst the students which will help students to learn all aspects of a startup and are also given facilities for a startup within the college premises. Those who do well in the IPL are encouraged and mentored to take their idea to a product and become successful entrepreneurs. Training and placement department: A separate department has been created for training and placement of students on a regular basis. The training starts with English in the first year followed by training in technical skills, aptitude and communication skills in subsequent years. Companies are invited to visit the campus for recruitment every year. Research centers in all departments: Most of the departments have VTU recognized research centre where many faculty members are pursuing research work in different areas of science and technology. Students have access to the facilities and help teachers in research. These give them a flavor of the current research and help them decide on research career. Student chapters of professional bodies: Student chapters of professional bodies such as IEEE, IE, ISTE and CSI are established in the college to make students aware of the contributions and the benefits of being members. Several technical programs are conducted under these chapters.
BNM Institute of Technology 47 Self Study Report | 2017

Check Dam Construction: Not applicable.
Efforts for Carbon neutrality:
l Carbon neutrality is maintained by planting number of trees during VanaMahotsava and such other occasions in and around the campus that acts as Carbon sink. l The withered and stray leaves are used to produce organic manure and the manure is used for the plants in the garden. l A two day environmental awareness programme called “Srishti Sambhrama” is conducted every year and as a part of this program saplings will be planted. l Students are encouraged by giving interest free loan to buy and use bicycle for transportation. l BNMIT encourages students and staff to use jute bags to do away with plastic bags.
BNM Institute of Technology 166 Self Study Report | 2017 Plantation: A separate professional group looks after the gardening and related activities to create a green atmosphere in the campus. The college campus is filled with wide variety of shrubs. Students and staff are encouraged to participate in the tree planting program.
Hazardous waste management: No Hazardous waste is generated. e-Waste management: A dedicated place is provided to collect e-waste such as old computers, laptops, IC's, Electrical and Electronic devices. The Institution in association with Karnataka Pollution Control Board disposes e-waste through authorized vendors.
Nature club: The College has an active Nature-Club, which regularly conducts awareness programs to sensitize students about environmental issues. Organizing lectures by eminent environmentalists / academicians, tree-planting programmes, garden cleaning, celebration of environment day, Earth day, arranging trekking expeditions and adventure sports are some of the activities of the club to create environment consciousness among the students.
7.2 Innovations
7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.
1. Implementation of Campus Management Software System (CMS) in 2014: Maintenance of student records, admission, attendance, performance and progress, fee collection, fee due calculation and other activities are main functions of college that consume lot of resources. To make all these processes simple and structured, the Campus Management System was introduced. All the student relevant data starting from admission to final year are stored in the cloud. The college, student and parent/guardian can interact through this single platform. The information about the attendance of student is automatically sent to the parents on a daily basis. CMS makes it easy to generate reports, calculation of performance, presentation of data and communicating the relevant data to all the stakeholders. (www.bnmit.pupilpod.in) 2. Process driven teaching learning. A clear cut process for teaching, evaluation, counseling and facility management is set up in the college. This brings uniformity in the teaching learning activities and common evaluation method among all teachers. This has helped the faculty in academic planning based on objective analysis of the previous years' performance of students for continuous improvement. This teaching learning process undergo routine audit as per ISO standards. 3. Automated Library Management System: All the library transactions have been automated with barcode interface. This makes the lending system and archival system foolproof. All data regarding library transactions can easily be tracked and presented at a short notice. Library has a separate browsing centre which allows access to e- resources.
BNM Institute of Technology 167 Self Study Report | 2017 4. Alma Connect: The College administers a web access to all alumni of the college through which they can interact with each other and also with staff and students of the institute. It also provides an option to see the location (country, state and city) of alumni, their distribution and contact details. The college tracks the alumni through this platform. www. bnmitalmaconnect.com
5. Pre-placement training: As a part of the pre-placement training, English communication classes, soft skill training and mock interviews are conducted regularly. This has resulted in increase in the number of placements during the campus selection.
6. Club activities: Specific clubs have been started like Photography Club, Nature Club, Robotics club, Science club, Cultural club, Sports club, English Communication club, and Entrepreneurship Development (ED) cell. These clubs have helped the students to indulge in their passion and explore beyond the syllabus.
7. IP Cell: BNMIT constituted an IP cell in the year 2016 with advisory members from Government agencies (VTPC) and a Private Company (Origin Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,) to educate staff and students on patent process and to help file patents. So far we are able to process 3 patents through this cell.
7.3. Best Practices
7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no.98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and / or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
The two best practices that have paid rich dividends are:
1. Innovative Project Laboratory (IPL). 2. Open questions in the tests.
Best Practice -1
1. Title of the Practice: Innovative Project Laboratory (IPL)
2. Goals:
l To inculcate scientific approach in students to identify the problems around them and find solutions for the same, by self motivation and study. l To develop the entrepreneurial skills in students that is essential in today's environment.
3. Context: Through IPL, institute is trying to bring challenging spirit among young minds by learning and conducting experiments on their own. This provides an opportunity for students to solve current problems or develop a product.
BNM Institute of Technology 168 Self Study Report | 2017 4. The Practice:
l Students of all semesters have to carry out one project in a group of 3-5, every semester apart from their regular curriculum. This activity develops team spirit, creative thinking, self learning, life-long learning and communication skills in students, which are essential attributes of Engineers to meet dynamic requirements of the industry. l The weekly time slot for innovative projects lab is included in regular time table. l Students have to build hardware or develop software as part of the project. l Each student gets a certificate for successful completion of project. l Best IPL project from each class will be selected for college level competition and awarded a cash prize of Rs. 2000/-. l Thus selected projects from each class will be exhibited for all students, staff and management during winter and summer IPL competitions conducted by BNMIT ED cell. l These projects are evaluated by two to three industry experts. l Best IPL project from each semester across college will be awarded a cash prize of Rs. 5000/-. l One project adjudged as best amongst all the projects across departments, will get a cash prize of Rs. 10,000/. l Three best projects will be selected for cash prizes and special certification. l Each student can do eight such projects during B.E. course and be owner of eight certificates, very useful for their career. l If the project can be turned into a product or is patentable, help will be provided by IP - Cell and ED – Cell of BNMIT.
5. Evidence of Success: IPL has been in practice for three years from now and 6 such competitions have been held. Out of the 6 top prizes received by the students, one project was subsequently presented at the Manthan 2015 – a business plan presentation competition, conducted by Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI). This is being patented and has been registered for startup.
Sixth semester Mechanical Engineering students have won a prize in VTU business plan at MSRIT, Bengaluru in July 2015 for developing a "Leaf Shredder" machine which has been requested for production by the BBMP. These are obvious signs of success of the program.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: Motivating all students to participate is a problem apart from time constraints and is slowly being addressed. The resources required like components, fabrication facility, prize money etc. were provided by the college. Students have now seen the advantages of participating in this program.
7. Future plans: The institute is planning to take this to a higher level by encouraging students to take product oriented projects that could be turned into products.
The College also has plans to have incubation facilities for encouraging entrepreneurship in the campus by converting successful IPL projects into products.

Best Practice - 2
1. Title of the Practice: Open test questions
2. Goal: The goal of the practice is to encourage students to appreciate the consequences of technical decisions/ design on the environment and society by self study.
3. The Context: The University curriculum concentrates on the technical aspects of engineering and is through text books and standard experiments. Any course prescribed by the University addresses only about three to five of the graduate attributes and there is no scope for addressing graduate attributes such as environment, societal needs and analysis of effect of technical decisions on man, society and environment. This practice was started in 2014 to make students learn by self study in the context of the course they are studying.
4. The Practice: There are 8 to 10 questions in each subject for each test of which 5 questions are to be answered. The last two questions are set in such a way that they have two components. One is about the course in question and the second on the effect of design on the environment, society etc. Example: For a certain requirements of power, design a converter and estimate its carbon foot print? How will you reduce its carbon foot print?
Two such questions are set and student has to answer one of them. As the second part of the question is not part of the course taught, the student has to research through the material available, understand the issues and then answer the question. Hence these two questions are announced one week before the test to give time for students to prepare. Through this method we make students aware of allied issues, allow him/her to make decisions and learn written communication. The questions most of the time will have no single answer and hence improve decision making skill.
5. Evidence of Success: All students attend this question and score good marks. By this method the course outcomes map to most graduate attributes and this is observed in the attainment calculations.
BNM Institute of Technology 170 Self Study Report | 2017 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
There were some difficulties in making all faculty members to understand and appreciate this method and to learn set such open ended questions. This needed a little training and was solved. Practically there was no resource overhead during its implementation.
7. Future plans: In the changed University pattern to CBCS scheme these open questions are made part of assignments.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strengths: 1. Situated in metropolitan area which attracts good students as well as faculty and staff. 2. Well qualified and motivated faculty. Faculty members are themselves rank holders at various levels in the university. 3. Well equipped laboratories. 4. Encouragement and environment for research work. 5. Streamlined administrative and academic process. Weakness: 1. The curriculum is bound by university syllabus. The syllabus is modified once in every four years for UG and once in two years for PG. 2. Lack of industry- institute interaction. 3. Lack of consultancy work.
Opportunities: 1. Bangalore is a hub of emerging trends, so students can avail training options which help them in placements. 2. Students have opportunities to participate in international exhibition for exposing their skills in innovative projects. 3. Students and faculty members can visit advance labs such as CPRI, power plants and industries like TDPS, Bhoruka power etc. 4. Enhanced placement opportunity for students in core domain. 5. More avenues are available for inter disciplinary R & D. Challenges: 1. Higher expectation from various stake holders including industries and society. 2. To attract better man power and to develop good research infrastructure. 3. The globalization of academic environment is both an opportunity and a challenge. 4. Getting teachers trained to cope with rapid changes in the technology.
Future Plans 1. Apply for funded project to enhance the research facilities and activities. 2. Establish Industry attached research laboratories to promote industry oriented projects. 3. Increase number of Power plant/ Industrial visits for the benefit of student community. 4. To sign MOU with prominent research institutes to provide training on advanced topics in EEE.

STRENGTHS
Well qualified and dedicated faculty. Strong research potential with proven records of nearly 75 % of faculty members with doctoral degree. Regular guest lectures by experts from renowned institutions to enrich student‟s knowledge in recent science & technology at I year level. Innovative project labs for students at I year level.
WEAKNESSES
No control over the curriculum design as the institute is affiliated to VTU.
The interaction with students is limited to first year.
Lack of research funding and collaborative research work. OPPORTUNITIES
Basic science departments can set the trend for learning in students as they interact with them in the curriculum. Opportunities for young teachers to take up research work leading to Ph.D. Basic research facilities created in the department provides an opportunity for faculty members to guide students. There is an opportunity for collaborative research with engineering departments. CHALLENGES
Motivating students with less interest in academics. Diploma students and a few other students have limited skills in Mathematics, thus teaching mathematical concepts to them is challenging. Catering to slow learners along with highly intelligent students. Bringing students in line with the academics from today‟s digital distraction.
FUTURE PLANS OF THE DEPARTMENT:
Establishing full fledged research facilities through research grants. Achieving cent percent results in all the courses.
