7.3 BEST PRACTICES
7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better Academic and administrative functioning of the College.
The college has implemented a few best practices in the recent past years. Details of two best practices are mentioned below, followed by brief description of the other practices. Best Practice- 1 Title of the practice: Effective student monitoring system (Digital campus) Goal : To enable the administration not only to measure the curricular processing from a generic perspective but also to possess a specific understanding of the entire academic processing even at a micro level. To build up a crystal clear and a reasonably accountable system. To identify the student regularity not only at the level of individual courses but also on a daily basis. To enable the parents to have an „analyst‟ kind of system so that they would understand the academic interest being evinced in their words.
St. Mary‟s Group of Institutions Guntur 199
NAAC Self Study Report
The Context: Student monitoring has been a perpetual phenomenon with any of the Academic institution. In view of this, our institution has undertaken intense analysis of the issue. It is understood that when a system that incorporates both academic processing and student attendance monitoring at one go only would stand as a really comprehensive one. The Practice Each section is assigned one mentor to monitor the attendance, students‟ performance, syllabus coverage and counseling. Class mentoring file is maintained by every mentor who includes the documentation of academic performance of the students. Each faculty member is allotted 20 students for counseling. The faculty member is given a file consisting of counseling sheets of each student. Students attend counseling for 2 times every semester in which they discuss their curricular, co-curricular and career counseling with the concerned faculty member. Student attendance is recorded in every class. Digital campus software enables to monitor the student‟s attendance events and all the portals related to top to down hierarchical organization structure. Evidence of Success
As a result of this practice our institute maintained good discipline on campus. The students understanding of the subject knowledge and performed well in the examinations. Problem Encountered and resources required Sometimes the students are not ready to express their doubts and problems with their counselor. It requires much time for the faculty members to interact with every student. Faculty members must have commitment to mould the students in a right way. Best Practice-2 Title of the Practice: Multi-mode teaching in all class rooms Goal: To enable the students to acquire world class knowledge and real time exposure with an outcome based learning. The Context: The challenge to the education fraternity is to provide quality education to all. To face the competitive world, the students have to be endowed with multi-facet Intelligence. Therefore, quality teaching and Learning should be provided to assist all learners to acquire the required competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) at the highest possible level. The quality of education is to a large extent determined by the quality of information transfer and the quality and quantity of support that the learners receive to master the outcomes of their studies. The Practice Faculty members use LCD Projectors and Internet facilities in the labs for innovative e-teaching.
St. Mary‟s Group of Institutions Guntur 200

Best Practice-3 Title of the Practice: Solar Vehicle Goal: To enable the student to acquire world class knowledge and real time exposure with an outcome based learning.
The Context: A solar vehicle is an electric vehicle powered completely or significantly by direct solar energy. Usually, photovoltaic (PV) cells contained in solar panels convert the sun's energy directly into electric energy.. Solar power may be also used to provide power for communications or controls or other auxiliary functions. Solar vehicles are not sold as practical day-to-day transportation devices at present, but are primarily demonstration vehicles and engineering exercises, often sponsored by government agencies.
The Practice: The energy from the sun strikes the earth throughout the entire day. However, the amount of energy changes due to the time of day, weather conditions, and geographic location. The amount of available solar energy is known as the solar isolation and is most commonly measured in watts per meter squared or W / m 2. In India on a bright sunny day in the early afternoon the solar isolation will be roughly around 1000 W / m 2, but in the mornings, evenings, or when the skies are overcast, the solar isolation will fall towards 0 W / m 2. It must understand how the available isolation changes in order to capture as much of the available energy as possible This concept can be utilized to build a single sitter four wheel vehicles in practice.
It can be extended to more commercial form of four wheeler vehicle.
In industry where small vehicles are used to perform light weight conveys work from one place to other place.
It can be used places where, fuel based vehicles are banned due to production of pollution and noise Evidence of success: Students were able to get employability skills which essential in their career. Students developed technical skills along with soft skills which helped in the campus recruitments. Students participated in various competitions such as presentations, Workshops, project expo.

It will be mandatory for all the teams to clear the PFR in order to advance to the FR.
The Practice:
This is usually seen that student‟s form a team participates in some project and the team becomes history immediately after the completion of the project. ISNEE has come up with an effective solution for this problem in which a small team formed by a group of students becomes official entity of ISNEE inside the college. When the founders pass out from the college the same team is managed by their juniors and so on. The student members of the Chapter avail several precious membership benefits like career building opportunities, scholarships, paper presentation, research work etc.
The students will be given several opportunities to visit industries, which will groom their technical skills and knowledge. ISNEE organizes various trainings and workshops; members will be having free entries for such workshops on designing, automobiles subsystems and recent technologies by the experts from industries.

This practice of inculcating moral values and ethics helped our faculty and students in going to villages and convincing them in keeping the village clean, follow sanitation, use purified drinking water, keep away from contagious diseases, etc., thus the institution to some extent transformed the life of common man in villages through our faculty and students.
Problems encountered:
Due to limited resource of the institution our faculty and students have not adopted more villages to do the above job. A separate budget if allocated by any agency will help the institution to do more meaningful work in the villages.

Strengths: Excellent course structure and the introduction of new subjects and electives from the second year itself. Students: the department attracts the cream of the students, they are not only academically brilliant but they are also selected after taking an entrance exam Dedicated professors and eager student‟s works as an ideal combination for information Generation Participation of the students in the various exchange programmes organized by the college to various universities Diverse experience of faculty Experience of industry as well as academia Large number of MCA students for research activities Well established Laboratories and infrastructure Conducting Seminars, Guest Lectures, workshops and conferences frequently Effective Monitoring system for student problem solving A good number of Supporting Technical Staff Departmental participation in Interdepartmental activities Visiting Industry professionals give our students the practical approach to the various theoretical aspects learnt. Weaknesses: Lack of Advanced Training Programs to Faculty Sponsorship for publications in International Conferences Exposure of New teaching Learning Techniques Dropping and raising of admissions Opportunities Due to the Emerging capital in amaravathi we have a large scope of getting a waste expansion of IT industries over here and thus a requirement of human resource. Establishment of new universities in the emerging capital also provides opportunities . Challenges Minimizing the faculty and staff attrition It‟s a challenge to sustain the habit of extra reading among the students. it is important to be up to date with the latest.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans Strengths: Well qualified faculty with a dedication to provide students content beyond syllabus with a hands on experience with latest tools for teaching. Research zeal in the faculty. Mentoring students regularly with a ratio of 1:20. The department is providing basic inputs of engineering. Well-established infrastructure. Internet and Departmental Library Large and updated English Communication Skills Lab. Weakness: Most of the students are from the rural background and they are very reserved to come out and showcase their skills. Their understanding of English has its limitations and they have to hone up their language skills. Students are less motivated. Opportunities: The institution is located in a very peaceful environment which provides students with a chance to concentrate much on their studies. The courses offer in the department offers basic knowledge of sciences which help them in pursuing further technical course with ease. Challenges: Getting good grades and pass percentages. Retention of faculty. It is tougher to educate students to make them industry ready. Much motivation is to be instilled in the students.
