ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

Weaknesses:

 Research and development, consultancy and extension activities are to be strengthened.  Industry – institution interaction not coming forth to the expected levels.  Inability to bring quick changes in curriculum on technological advances and the industry needs as the college is affiliated to university which has a rigid structure. Opportunities:  The demand for reputed colleges is on the rise as people are looking for good colleges rather than a particular branch.  To apply for more research funds from funding agencies like AICTE, UGC, DST,CSIR ISRO etc..  Use of technology and ICT to make teaching learning process more student centric to elicit interest.  Commencement of new programmes to meet the emerging needs.  More interaction with industry is possible as Visakahpatnam is the second largest city in the state which is industrially developed .  Competitive edge basing on the reputation of the institute gained over the last decade. Challenges:  Rapidly advancing technology may require more human resources and equipment.  Unethical competition with mushrooming of colleges posing a challenge in retaining good faculty.  Government policies in fixing the fees structure and admission process.  Quality of intake is coming down as good students are opting for deemed universities within and outside the state of A.P., due to prolonged delay in the admission process which is a consequence of poor decision making by the government.

Under Category – A, all the seats filled up in ECE, EEE, CSE, Mechanical and Civil. The seats are not filled up in IT completely because of the global recession which is effecting the IT sector. Regarding Bio-Tech, the change in policy of the AP government that students with Maths, Physics and Chemistry in Intermediate are only eligible to take up the course has adversely effected the intake.. Earlier the demand was good for Bio-Tech as Biology students were also eligible for the course. Hence Chemical Engineering was introduced in the college in the place of Bio-Tech in the year 2012-13 and it is expected that the demand grows up.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar? If ‘yes’, elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome these.

In the academic year 2013-14, during the I Semester, the class work was effected due to Samaikyandhra agitation in Andhra Pradesh for almost 1-2 months and valuable time was lost. To compensate the loss, additional classes were incorporated in the time-table. By doing so, the syllabus was covered in time and the academic work was completed satisfactorily. Further during the same time, as the bus transport facility was also hit, the premises of one of the colleges within city limits was hired and Aptitude, communication skills and C programming classes were organized for the IV year students to perform effectively in the campus recruitment process.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching learning?

The feed back from students on faculty performance will be taken twice in a semester to evaluate the teacher performance in class room teaching on 15 parameters on a 5 point scale. The feedback is analyzed and evaluated on the score of 100 and every teacher is provided with a copy of feedback for making necessary corrective action. Further, teachers are counseled by the head of the department and also by the Principal if required. Monitoring is also done through class work review committees (CWRC) to assess the uniformity in syllabus coverage, and also the quality of teaching. Annual reviews are conducted on detailed self-appraisal forms to evaluate the performance on teaching, research and other performance related issues. The quality of course material, assignments and question papers prepared by the faculty are assessed internally and suitable suggestions are taken for enriching the course.

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

how the institutional culture and environment contributed to such performance/achievement of the faculty.

The college creates a work culture by motivating the faculty to excel in their areas of research and teaching. The college has constituted best teacher awards to faculty basing on their meritorious work in the fields of teaching and research. Every year two such awards will be awarded to faculty during college day celebrations.

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 evaluation of the teacher in terms of class room teaching, interaction with students is analyzed by the feedback system which is very much in place. The feed back from the students will be taken twice in a semester before the mid examinations. The two times feed back system helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the faculty in the middle of the semester. The HOD or Principal will immediately counsel the faculty if deficiencies are observed such that the faculty can improve from that point onwards. The faculty with good feed back will be well appreciated which will further strengthen their commitment to the teaching learning process. The performance appraisal of each faculty which will be collected annually, will be analyzed cricitically at the end of the year and the faculty are guided basing on that, if necessary. The NITTTRI also conducts an analysis on the impact and improvement of the faculty after the training programmes organized by them. The syllabus coverage and other class room teaching aspects will also be discussed in the class work review committee meetings which are also held twice each semester. This will also improve the teaching and learning processes.

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 teachers will be appraised about the evaluation process of the institute by the HOD at the time of joining the institute. Each department organizes faculty meeting at regular intervals where in there will be discussions on various issues related to evaluation process. During the HOD‟s meeting with the Principal which is conducted every week, any changes in the processes will be brought to the notice of the Heads of the Departments which in turn will be communicated to the faculty and students through circulars and notices. The students will also be knowing about the evaluation process through the college prospectus. In the orientation programme held during the admission process, the students will be briefed about the evaluation system in the institute and how it differs from the intermediate education.

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?

The Andhra University has a tradition of following good old and time-proven methodology for the evaluation of students. The university prescribes that for theory 58

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

subjects 30 marks are internally assessed and the rest 70 marks are assessed through external exam. For the practicals 50 marks are internally assessed (continuous assessment) and the rest 50 marks are assessed through external exam

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?

There are not many evaluative reforms initiated in the university in the recent past. However the college strongly believes in continuous evaluation system which is implemented effectively in all laboratories for the practical work. Viva-voce is conducted after each experiment done by the students and marks are awarded for the experimental work and viva every week. In the evaluation of theory subjects, the assignments which are evenly scheduled in a semester carries a weight age of 10 marks in the internal assessment. The attendance carries 5 marks and the mean of two internal mid examinations carries 15 marks. Thus through the continuous evaluation system the student is made to assimilate more knowledge.

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.

Formative assessment is a tool used by the teacher to continuously monitor student progress in a non-threatening supportive environment. It involves feedback and a chance for the student to reflect on the performance and improve upon it. The proctorial system also plays an important role in identifying the weaknesses of the students and taking corrective measures. The formative assessment in the college includes conversation skills, assignments, projects, quizzes, viva-voce, student seminars, group discussions etc. Summative assessment is carried out at the end of the course of learning. It sums up how the student has fared in the course. It will be a test marked according to a scale or a set of grades conducted by the university. The formative assessment helped the students in gaining more knowledge and thus made them in performing well in the campus recruitment process. For example 32 students were placed in the core sector companies like L & T, Hyundai motors, Satyam Ventures etc., in the 2012-13 academic year which is one of the highest numbers in this region.

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.

Complete transparency is maintained in the internal assessment. The criterion adopted is as directed by the University. All the students are familiarized about the transparency in internal assessment. Each theory subject is evaluated through internal and external xams. As per the regulations Internal and externals are conducted for 30 and 70 respectively. Two internal examinations are conducted for every semester. The internal examination is so designed that they test not only the subject knowledge of the student, but also his / her analytical and problem solving skills. Each internal assessment through the tests carries 15 marks (each exam will be conducted for 30 marks and later reduced to 15 marks and then

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

the average of 2 tests is considered). The assignment carry 10 marks and the attendance will carry 5 marks. The soft skills lab introduced by the university in III Year will assess the communication skills and it carries 100 marks through internal assessment. The industrial training programme which the students undergo after III year will make them associate with experienced people from the industry and it carries 100 marks through internal assessment. The project work is done by a group of 3-4 students in the IV year II semester and the students are encouraged to take live problems. It carries 50 marks each for internal and external assessment. The summer training and the project help the students enhance their interpersonal skills, leadership qualities and independent learning abilities. Transparency in the evaluation is maintained by returning the valued scripts to the students to enable them to check the marks and to draw the attention of the teacher to the discrepancy, if any, either in the awarding marks or totaling of marks.

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?

A graduate when he completes his engineering course is expected to process  Good Technical Knowledge  Working skills  Right attitude The knowledge is gained by the effective teaching in the class room and at the same time the breadth and depth are provided by institute through various activities like guest lectures, seminars, contents beyond syllabus etc. The skills are of many types like Technical skills - Learned through lab Interpersonal skills – Organizing tech-fests / seminars, student clubs like robotics club, student chapters of CST,IE, IETE etc. Attitudes will be normally moulded by the kind of working environment created by the institute. The institute creates an atmosphere of utmost discipline as far as the behavior of the students is concerned and the same time giving sufficient flexibility and encouragement regarding the co-curricular activities.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the college and University level?

At college level: The answer scripts of internal examinations are shown to the students after evaluation to bring out the discrepancies, if any, to the notice of teacher concerned, and the necessary corrections will be made. If student is not satisfied with the marks awarded in any subject/ laboratory after bringing it to the notice of the teacher concerned, he/she may represent the same to the Chief- Superintendent of Examinations through the HOD concerned. At University level: The student is entitled to apply for revaluation in theory subjects by paying the prescribed fee to the University. The University will take up all such applications and re-evaluate the scripts by competent subject teachers. However, if there is no improvement, earlier marks will be retained.

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

The student is also eligible to apply for challenge revaluation in theory subjects by paying the prescribed fee to the University. Challenging revaluation is carried out by two subject experts in the presence of student at the University. If the improvement in total marks is equal to or greater than prescribed percentage of the total marks, the fee paid will be refunded and further the improved marks will be treated as final marks in that subject.

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?

Each department prepares programme outcomes for each subject basing on the criteria mentioned by AICTE. Each programme will be mapped to cover some of the following outcomes. a) The ability to work independently b) The ability to work in a team c) The ability to communicate well via oral presentations d) The ability to effectively express ideas through written communication e) The ability to apply knowledge of basic science, mathematics and Engineering principles to solve complex problems f) The ability to write correct and good computer programs g) The ability to construct appropriate abstractions to manage complexity and to think creatively about new problems h) The ability to understand the professional ethics and responsibilities of an engineer i) The ability to understand the implications of contemporary computing and information processing issues relative to society j) The ability to acquire the foundations to do well in post graduate school k) The ability to compete and succeed in competitive examinations

The faculty are aware of the objectives and outcomes and they are listing them in their course files. The expected learning outcomes of a course are made known to the students in the class room during the introductory lecture by the 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 students results/achievements (Programme/course wise for last four years) and explain the differences if any and patterns of achievement across the programmes/courses offered.

Each student will be knowing the marks obtained in the internal exams as the scripts are distributed in the class. The marks are also communicated to the parents by sending them the details through post. Every month the attendance details will be displayed to the students and those who are having lesser attendance will be counseled by their mentors. These details will also be communicated to the parents. The college has a system where the faculty will be posting the attendance everyday in a software called Ezschool. If anybody absents himself / herself for a class that message will be reached to their parents through SMS.

Through the mentoring system which is in place in the college, the students will be knowing about their progress by the faculty and they are advised to take corrective measures. 61

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?

First, the faculty are made aware of learning outcomes of the course they are handling and the outcomes are normally indicated in their course file. The student will know about the outcomes during the interaction with the faculty. The question paper for the internal test in a subject is designed keeping the expected outcomes of the course in mind. The achievement of the learning outcomes are measured through various indicators like pass percentage, placement record etc.,. The performance indicators will be discussed during the HOD meetings and faculty meetings organized by the Principal. The brainstorming sessions during the departmental meeting will discuss about the outcomes. The necessary remedial measures will be taken to achieve the targeted 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 takes a holistic approach and trains its students not only making them placement- ready but also enlightens them about various other means for a brighter future like becoming entrepreneurs. Various measures are taken to achieve these goals. They are  Training in communication and other quantitative aptitude skills  To conduct student seminars to improve presentation skills  Training in the technical subject relevant to campus placements  Students motivation camps, seminars and guest lectures through Entrepreneurship Development Cell(EDC)  Conducing technical symposiums and competitions make students to present their innovative ideas  Sponsorship to present/publish research papers in international conferences and journals.  Encouragement to take up mini projects of social relevance and real time problems where innovation is an integral part. . 2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?

The student performance is measured by various indicators. The students who have cleared their degree in 4 years and the pass percentage in each year in comparison with the other affiliated colleges is collected by the college through the data sent by the university and also through university web site. This data is used to identify the difficult subjects and extra classes are organized for these subjects for the next batches to improve the pass percentage.. The data of students who have joined higher studies and working presently is maintained by the individual departments. The data is also collected through Alumni so as to identify the needs of the industry from fresh engineers. 62

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

Another indicator is the campus placements and the details of eligible candidates and conversion ratio data is maintained by the Training and placement cell. Any barriers in this regard can be overcome by giving special training. For example a specific company may be focusing more on aptitude and communication skills of the students. Another software company may be focusing on C language. Basing on the assessment parameters of the company, the training programme will be modified to improve the performance of the students. The paper presentations made by the students in various seminars and prizes won by them is another performance indicator.

2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes?

In the HOD meetings the Principal monitors the various indicators that are mentioned in 2.6.5. The same will be communicated to the faculty through faculty meetings. The remedial action will be taken at the gross root level to achieve the learning outcomes.

2.6.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of learning objectives and planning? If ‘yes’ provide details on the process and cite a few examples.

The evaluation outcomes are surely an indicator of achievements of the learning objectives and also the successful implementation of the plans.  For example for a particular subject like Machine design in Mechanical Engg. Stream, the objective is to prepare the student to succeed in competitive exmas held by companies like L & T or Hyundai motors who visit the college for campus recruitment. The performance of the students in these selection process is an indicator of whether the objective is achieved or not. Good number of students from Mechanical engineering and Electrical department were selected to L & T which indicates that the objective is met.  The performance of the student is summative assessment is an indicator of whether the objective is met or not. ANITS stands first amongst the various engineering colleges affiliated to Andhra university in the pass percentage of students and this is a definitive indicator that the objective is met.

Any other relevant information regarding Teaching-Learning and Evaluation which the college would like to include.

 The college ensures that all the policies / systems regarding the teaching – learning processes such as class work review committee and student feed-back for teachers etc., are in place and are scrupulously followed.  High discipline is ensured in the evaluation process, examination system and attendance of the students to ensure that the quality of highest order is maintained in the college.

Today the technical education is facing many challenges. Though the outreach is expanded and many students can now avail technical education with various government policies also supporting them, the quality of technical education has come down. The society needs engineers who can transform the world into a better place to live in and industry needs engineers with technical competence and excellent skills set to meet the customer needs which are mercurial in nature in the present day world. To meet these challenges, the institute envisages to develop into a world class institute by providing all facilities to produce highly competent engineers with a human touch and exemplary work ethics, who can build a better society for the future generations.

For the transfer of knowledge to the student, the faculty should be a good teacher and to become a good teacher he has to hone up his teaching skills through some training. This helps him not only to identify his deficiencies but also to use latest methods of teaching to make the teaching-learning process more student centric. Regular faculty development programmes will help them to hone up their skills for the benefit of students and thus FDP programmes are scheduled every year and scrupulously followed. 152

Best Practice-2:

1) Title of the Practice:

a) Institution of Gold medal to the topper in each branch. b) Institution of cash prize to first and second toppers in each section of each class of a branch c) Sponsoring of students for presentation of papers in NITs‟ and other premier institutions.

2) Goal: (100 words)

ANITS NAAC-Self Study Report

The goal is to motivate the students to excel in academics and to generate a competitive spirit among the students. To encourage the students for their good performance in academics on a regular basis, the year-wise cash prizes were instituted. To make the students abreast with latest technological developments and create an innovative mind set sponsorship for good papers is provided. All the above practices are aimed at keeping the faculty in particular and the institution in general on a higher stratum in the academic arena.

3) The Context (150 words)

Students require continuous encouragement for their wonderful achievements which will further motivate them to excel in their careers. Their sincerity and hard work has to be rewarded appropriately. Hence the gold medal award was instituted. Similarly the college needs a good academic ambience and right kind of competitive spirit amongst students. This creates right kind of challenges and make them work in good spirit. . Hence the cash awards were instituted. In the present day scenario having expertise as per the curriculum, may not put a student on a higher platform to meet the challenges. They have to enhance their knowledge levels and must have knowledge on latest developments and also must have creativity. In order to encourage this, the students are sponsored to attend seminars, symposiums etc., where they present papers of high quality as recommended by the HOD/Principal.

4) The Practice : (400 words)

A gold medal weighing 10 gms. and 22 carats purity is given to each topper at the end of academic year in a specially held function / college day. Similarly, a cash prize of Rs.2000/- to topper and Rs.1000/- to second topper of each section of each branch in a class is given away in the same function. The meritorious students who are presenting papers in various techncial symposiums, seminars in the premium institutions like IITs, NITs etc., are sponsored by paying to and fro charges and also the registration fees.

5) Evidence of Success: (200 words)

The above practices resulted in the development of healthy competition among the students and resulted in the betterment of results.

6) Problems encountered and resources required: (150 words)

Even though the cost of gold is escalating and number of branches have increased the management rightly feels such a practice will beacon right kind of spirit among students, who are the main stakeholders in an education system. The approximate financial requirement is about 3.5 lakhs per annum but the management whole heartedly promotes such good practices and no problems were encountered.
