Describe Processes followed to improve quality of Teaching & Learning

University of Mumbai follows credit based system for the courses to be taught based

on 15 weeks teaching-learning process, however course contents have to be covered

in 12-13 weeks. RAIT has promulgated Learning centric teaching-learning processes

that work on the principle of outcome based teaching and learning methodology. The

process of teaching-learning followed is shown in Figure 1

Fig 1: Flow chart for Teaching-Learning Process

• AcademicPlanning:

1. Academic calendar: Department calendar of events (Term test dates, Technical

events, BE project mock presentations, Feedback from students, Internal audit,

Remedial classes, journal submission etc. ) are prepared well in advance before the

commencement of the odd and even semester based on Institute calendar of events.

Academic Calendar is shown in Figure 2.

2. Resource update: Apart from institute library, departmental library facility is

provided for students and faculty. Books needed for the current curriculum is procured

in the Department Library. There are 1285 books available in department library.

3. Laboratory upgradation: Lab requirements are collected before the

commencement of the semester and action is taken after the discussion of HOD with

Purchase committee. Experiment lists are prepared for practical sessions in advance

and care is taken that scheduled list will meet the overall objectives as per curriculum

designed thereby ensuring that COs and POs are met.

4. Recruitment of new faculty members: As per the student faculty ratio, HOD gives

feedback to IQAC and faculties are recruited accordingly. Along with the teaching

faculty, laboratory assistants, attendants are also recruited.

Fig. 2: Academic Calander

5. Departmental Quality Assurance meeting: The Head of the department conducts

internal academic audit through DQA committee once in a semester and takes

corrective actions. The following auditing is done by HOD to ascertain whether:

• The time table is being followed as planned.

• Attendance Registers is being updated and topics covered regularly.

• Coverage of syllabus is being done as per Lesson Plan.

• Internal Marks are being entered in Attendance Registers on time.

10



• Course Files are being updated regularly.

• Lab Attendance Registers are being updated and internal assessments are carried

out at the end of lab session.

• Personal files are updated and inspected once in a month.

• Counselling and remedial actions are carried out by class counsellors.

• Review feedback is being received from Students on academics and facilities in

the department once a semester.

• Term test evaluation of performance of the students is carried out and corrective

actions such as providing enhancement tutorials or additional periods for

removal of short comings are taken.

• Adequate encouragement steps are being taken to involve faculty in active

research.

• Necessary steps are taken and monitored to prepare the students for placements

by organizing additional training programmes.

• Departmental Stock registers are being maintained and maintenance of lab

equipment is being monitored.

• End term performance appraisal of academic work is carried out based on the

performance of the students in the end term university examinations and

corrective actions are taken.

• Execution:

1. Pedagogical initiatives:

• Interactive teaching: With growing trends towards modernization teaching

process is enabled with information and communication technology (ICT)

classrooms, LCD projector, Laptop facility, PA system , Smart board and broad

band internet facilities where the lectures can be recorded, which can be helpful

for the students for revising after the lecture hours and shown in Fig.3.

11



Fig. 3: Pedagogical Initiatives

• Learning management system: While carrying out teaching activities, our

faculties use state of the art technology like LMS, where the lecture wise Power

point presentations, reading material, Question bank, Discussion forum, quiz,

Assignments and university question papers are provided online to benefit the

students and shown in Fig.4.

• Broadcasting of NPTEL Lectures: Some practical applications and theoretical

aspects are taught to the students through LCD Projectors and broadcasting

NPTEL videos through internet available in the class rooms which is shown in

Fig. 5.

Fig.5: NPTEL Lectures

• Encouragement of self-learning: Students are encouraged for self-learning,

i.e., they learn from library, internet and through departmental activities such as

project works, web-based learning, expert lectures, and student driven seminars

and host of technical conferences.

15



2. Collaborative learning:

• Project based learning: The Third and Final year students are encouraged to

form a group of maximum four students for completing a Miniproject and

comprehensive project work based on the course studied. Improves teamwork

spirit through this type of learning.

• Experiment Performance: Students perform experiments in groups, which

enhance their communication ability (oral & writing). They learn ethical

standards including reporting information objectively and interacting with

integrity in the laboratory shown in Fig 6.

Fig.6: Lab Performance

• Technical activities organized by students (IETE): In Department, students

are encouraged to organize and participate in technical and non-technical events

by which they develop ambidextrous quality. Organizing various technical

festivals thereby introducing the students to different aspects of technological

advances.

3. Laboratory learning:

• Laboratory Manuals: Laboratory manuals explaining the details of the

experiments, circuit diagram, information regarding experiment to be

16



performed, observation tables and sample viva questions are provided to the

students online. Well instructed manuals help students to develop scientific

reasoning ability.

• Upgradation of laboratory equipment: With the advancement of Curriculum,

Laboratories equipment (Hardware & software) are upgraded. It helps the

students to solve engineering problems with realistic constraints by application

of modern tools, some lab equipment are shown in Fig.7.

Fig.7: Lab Equipment’s

• Continuous assessment: Faculty instructs and supervises the students for the

performance of experiments. Students record the observation and required data

analysis is done. Faculty access the student’s performance. Thus continuous

assessment is carried out.

• Evaluation:

1. Pre-requisite Test: Before commencement of the courses, Faculty carries out

detailed Pre-requisite test for all the courses and analyzes using dedicated software

developed at RAIT. The performance of the students shows the understanding of pre-

requisite of the subject. Extra assignments and lectures are conducted for weak

students.

2. Digital course file: At RAIT, entire teaching process is recorded in the department

academic matter file which consists of digital course file (DCF). Figure 8 shows the

subject details of CEL-I in the DCF. DCFs are checked by HOD with DQA members

once in a month to ensure coverage of syllabus, content delivery and evaluation

processes to ensure quality assurance practices set up by QMS.

17



Fig 8: Subject details in Digital Course File (DCF)

3. Direct assessment: The assessment methods used to measure POs is via direct

assessment of COs. This includes evaluation of internal assessment and university

examination of theory and practical. University marks carries a weightage of 80% and

internal assessment carries a weightage of 20%.

4. Indirect Assessment: At the end of every academic year, students who are members

of technical and social bodies associated with department and college give feedback

on how effectively it had helped them to outgrow as a well-rounded student. This

statement is considered to indirectly assess the POs defined by the committees.

5. Feedback: The cycle of changes required for enhancing quality in teaching and

learning consist of bottom of process that begins with the students to provide

valuable feedback and this travels upwards all the way up to the QMS. The corrective

action is conceived at the top and travels downwards and ends with the student filling

those desired changes.

• Feedback on lesson plans and lecture schedule:

The teaching staff prepares and evaluates the efficiency of lesson plan to begin

with, at the start of every semester. The plans takes into account the relative

importance of COs and POs as laid down in the DCF files. During execution of

lectures, the students grasp is evaluated from time to time by asking questions at

the end of each session. With the nature of replies received, the teaching faculty

adjusts the tempo and content of lectures to improve the grasp of students. The

18



QMS discusses with each teaching faculty about teaching/learning issues from time

to time (twice during a semester or more). This is done in a group so that points of

common interest that emerge are shared immediately to all the teaching staff.

• Feedback on teaching process:

The timing of the feedback process is a little before the mid-term of the teaching

process in each semester. This process includes feedback on all aspects of the

conductance of the courses, which includes course content, course coverage,

quality of presentations, depth of coverage, making the content palatable and

relevant to exam readiness etc. The students are encouraged to give this feedback

fearlessly without any conditions imposed. This valuable input is collected by the

concerned HODs of each Department. It is then compiled and stored digitally and

kept with concerned HODs. This process is also digitized to facilitate quick and

easy feedback generation through digital forms with a flexibility to add attributes

if the students so desire. HOD discusses this feedback with concerned faculty

members and reviewed by the CMQA team of the institute.

• Feedback for enhancement of performance of teachers:

Based on the feedback provided by the students, the faculty concerned is counselled

for improving their performance through written feedback by CMQA, thus ensuring

shortcomings are overcome before they go the next class. To enhance the teaching

skills of faculty, Faculty Development Programme (FDP) is organized every year

with resource persons from UoM, BARC, IITs, NITs and reputed institutions and

also faculties are allowed to attend such programme in other institutes.

• Initiatives and implementation details of encouraging bright students:

• RAIT sponsors and support extensively bright students an extracurricular activity for

their overall development as it is firmly believe that these activities make students

better equipped to develop up leadership qualities.

• There are several committees in the Institution to promote and motivate the students

to get actively involved in the extracurricular and co-curricular activities, like sports,

games, Quiz competitions, debate and discussions, cultural activities etc.

• This institution has a key focus in motivating students for higher studies or research

career. Placement cell regularly organizes career counselling sessions.

19



Fig 9: Process for Encouraging Bright Students and Assisting Weak Students

• The process of identification of bright and weak students is as shown in Figure 9.

• Class counselor appoint batch wise mentor for identification of bright and weak

students. Also from DCF bright and weak students are evaluated.

• Figure 4 shows the evaluation of bright students through DCF.

• Bright students are encouraged to work in various technical committees of the

institutes e.g. IEEE, IETE etc.

• Students are encouraged to do various projects which are at par with current

industry trends.

Quality of internal semester Question papers, Assignments and Evaluation

Initiatives and Implementation details for improving the quality of Internal Semester

Question papers (Internal Assessment Test):

1. Initiatives:

• The department conducts two internal assessment tests as planned in the

academic calendar. The guidelines prescribed and methodologies followed by

university pertaining to term test are meticulously followed.

• The internal assessment test is conducted for a maximum of 30 marks. The

question paper is designed such that the CO weightage and mapping provided

in the DCF is followed. Figure 11 shows CO weightage for the subject Digital

Communication of semester 12. Figure 12 shows term test marks entry in DCF.

• Question paper template is circulated to all the faculty members well in

advance.

• Setting of internal assessment test question paper is done based on all previous

university exam papers, which ensures the quality of question paper.

21



• Internal assessment test question paper is set by subject-in- charge, in concern

with other subject teachers and the hard copy of question paper is submitted in

properly sealed envelope.

Fig 11 : Term Test details

2. Implementation:

• Institute level internal assessment test committee is formed and subcommittee is

formed at department level.

• The Internal assessment paper should be approved by academic monitoring

committee with counter sign by subject in charge, HOD, and co-coordinator of

exam committee.

• Extreme care and secrecy is maintained in storing, printing and bundling of

questions paper copies.

• Awareness is created among students for avoiding any means of malpractices

during exam.

3. Analysis of learning related to quality of question paper:

• The assessment of test papers is carried out by individual faculty and marks are

entered in to DCF. The digital course file generates Evaluation Performance

Index (EPI) which gives the percentage of students scoring above average

22



marks. Hence EPI reflects on the quality of the teaching- learning process as

well as the quality of question paper

Fig 12 : Term Test marks entry

• The CO attainment is also generated from the DCF which gives the student’s

performance to the Particular CO. If a student scores 50% or above marks in a

particular question then the corresponding CO is said to be attained.

• The EPI and CO attainment gives the feedback for quality of Teaching-learning

process and quality of term test paper.

• Evaluation process of above test process makes it to identify the weak students and

additional contact hours and weakness removal classes are held so as to improve the

understanding of the topic and thus enhance the performance.

• Assignments:

• As per the curriculum, minimum three assignments covering entire syllabus for all

the courses is given by the subject in-charge.

• Assignment and tutorial are designed keeping in mind contribution of each topic

to CO and hence performance is measure of CO. The assignment must be student

centric, more meaningful, interesting and innovative.

• Assignment schedule is prepared by the subject in-charge which gives the

submission dates for all the assignments.

23



• Assignments of all the courses are floated online on the LMS portal for the

students.

• Evaluation of assignment is done and entered in the DCF for term work

calculation. In order to calculate CO attainment through assignments, the marks

of individual students for all three assignments are entered. Then based on the

criteria the CO attainment is calculated.

• For direct assessment method, CO attainment is calculated based on term tests,

assignments/tutorials, lab performance. Figure 13 and 14 gives the design of

assignments and its evaluation in DCF for the course Digital Communication of

semester 6.

in previous semester (Mini-project).

• Students are encouraged to develop projects by applying knowledge from the

curriculum studied and also content beyond syllabus.

• The HOD with the DQA committee floats innovative project work based on

industrial problems.

• Students get project ideas from technical talks, internships, workshops and

training programs conducted in association with industries.

2. Project allotment:

• The project confirmation and project guide allocation is executed in second and

third week after the commencement of seventh semester as planned in the

academic calendar.

• As per the University of Mumbai norms, the faculty with five years of

teaching experience are assigned as supervisors for project groups.

• Students are asked to give choice of supervisor for their project work.

• Based on the choice given by the student and expertise of supervisor, HOD and

DQA assigns supervisor for project work.

25



• The supervisors encourage the students to carry out in-house projects and

support is provided with all necessary hardware and software infrastructure.

• Funding is provided for the projects which are innovative, unique and helpful to

the society.

• The proposal and estimate of expenditure for the projects are sent for the

approval to the R & D committee through HOD. Based on the recommendations,

seed money of about 40% of total project cost is given to the students. Further

grants are provided based on the need and progress of the project. There is no

upper limit for the number of proposals.

3. Continuous monitoring:

• Supervisors monitor the progress of the student projects and weekly reports of

the same are maintained.

• Supervisors encourage the students to participate in project competitions

organised by other institutes of repute.

• National level project competition is organized by the college every year and is

focused to provide common platform to exhibit their innovations and their work

towards excellence in latest technology.

• Students use the LaTeX typesetting software to prepare the project report.

The supervisors encourage students to publish their project work in reputed

journal/conference.

• The project reports and technical paper written by students are checked for

plagiarism by commercial software ‘Turnitin’ procured by the institute.

4. Evaluation for Quality of completed projects/working prototypes:

• To keep track on and check the quality of projects, three mock presentations are

carried out in a year. The students prepare presentations of the work completed

till that time and present in front of a panel of internal experts.

• A committee consisting of HOD, Professors and Project Coordinator is formed

to conduct mock presentation to evaluate the progress of the projects. The DCF

entry of COs of project work is shown in Figure 15.
