The Institute is managed by DAV College Trust & Management Society, New Delhi that got established way back in the year 1886 and is managing more than 900 educational institutions in the country. The institute has matured as one of the most preferred Engineering Institutes in the state of Punjab. Today, its name is synonymous with the quality professional education. My first and foremost concern is to uphold the 131 years old legacy and prestige of DAV and to elevate the Institute to a level, so that it becomes relevant in today’s competitive world. The institute has envisioned keeping pace with the changing social needs while trying to achieve the global standards of education. NAAC has provided us with an opportunity to assess, introspect, evaluate and further improve upon our performance in the field of professional education by understanding the latest requirements as per global scenario. Seven criteria provided by NAAC to understand and evaluate our performance have literally helped us in scrutinizing our strengths and weaknesses. Writing of the Self-Study Report of the Institute has taken us one step further in that direction. The process has been long and tedious, but has yielded outstanding results. The staff of the institute has had marathon discussions, meetings and brain storming sessions to get insight into new ideas, collect information and to give a final shape to the report. Finally, as head of the institution, I can envisage the path that the institution is supposed to tread. We present ourselves for assessment and accreditation and reiterate our commitment to come true to the expectations from all the stake holders and visiting NAAC Peer team. Thank You. Dr. Manoj Kumar Principal DAV Institute of Engineering & Technology Jalandhar 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DAV Institute of Engineering & Technology (DAVIET) Jalandhar got established in the year 2000, under the aegis of DAV College Trust & Management Society, New Delhi. The Institute is approved by AICTE and affiliated to IKG Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar. The Institute is located in the heart of city on a prime piece of land adjacent to DAV College, Jalandhar on the left side of Jalandhar-Amritsar National Highway and is spread over an area measuring 11.6 acres possessing extremely beautiful landscape with a running canal on its back and historical Burlton Park on its front. In a short span of time, the Institute has been able to make a niche for itself in the field of Technical Education in the state of Punjab. The Institute is one of the most preferred Institutes in the state. The Institute has been bestowed with ‘Best Engineering College Award’ by the affiliating University i.e. IKG Punjab Technical University. In order to revisit its vision and mission, the Institute organized a two-day deliberation session in September, 2015. In this workshop, all the stakeholders viz. management, faculty, students, alumni and industry were actively involved. During this session a SWOC analysis of the Institute was carried out. The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges are given in the following paragraphs. DAVIET - SWOC Analysis STRENGTHS IMC-RBNQ Award from Industry for Academic Excellence in 2007. Bestowed with “Best Engineering College” of Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar in the year 2013. Ranked 10th amongst "Top Engineering Colleges of Excellence" in India as per CSR-GHRDC Engineering College Survey 2016. Wipro Accredited for Placements & Project Activities since 2009.

Excellent Track Record of Achievements in co-curricular and extra- curricular activities – we are the over-all champions in University inter-zonal youth festivals and hold winners/runners-up position in University Sports every year. Well-knit programme for moral and value based education. WEAKNESSES Industry-Institution Interaction needs to be strengthened further. Senior Faculty with industry experience/background is less in number on account of non-availability thereof. The College is affiliated to the IKG-Punjab Technical University and hence has limitations on up-gradation of the curriculum as per the requirement of the Industry. Consultancy and extension activities need enhancement. Technology incubation to transfer the technology to industries. 5 Less GATE-qualified students available for our PG courses currently. Focus on Research & Development, Consultancy, Training needs to be enhanced at institutional level through collaborations with the other Research based organizations. International academic tie-ups need to be strengthened at institutional level. Lack of Research Project grants from Govt. agencies for developmental projects. OPPORTUNITIES NAAC/NBA Accreditation and autonomous status from UGC. MoUs with foreign universities for student/faculty exchange programmes to provide them an International exposure for a wider knowledge and skill set. To enhance employability of our existing students with domain specific industry-oriented training. Inter-disciplinary research in contemporary areas of global concern.
