Institutional Reforms under Autonomous Structure Teaching - Learning Process and co-curricular

- In the recent past, the Institution made a paradigm shift in teaching –learning

process by introducing “Flipped Learning” mandatorily. We have published an

in-house book on Flip Learning, the cover of which appears next. We are proud

to say that we are the pioneer institution in India to initiate full scale Flip

Learning.

-

[Flipped Learning is a Pedagogical Learning is a pedagogical approach in which

direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual

learning space and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic

interactive learning environment where the educator guide students as they

apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter].

Twin events of JIS Technical Symposium and National Seminar on “Teacher as a Role Model” on 21st -22nd January, 2016

The events took place in the above mentioned two dates with later event on the second day. “JISTech 2k16” is a special type of program with different flavor. Mainly, students are integrated with this “JISTech 2k16” activity directly. On 21st& 22nd January 2016, students were exhibited their innovative projects not in the manuscript format, but in the way of presentable first prototype design format. On the view of modification of our traditional study processes this event has been designed towards the improvement of hands-on engineering experience of our students. This has been organized to provide an excellent platform to showcase all kinds of different talents ranging

from arts, educational and something beyond the curriculum. Firstly, it helps the institution to bring together the students from across the country. Secondly, these promote innovative ideas and allow students to share their knowledge and ideas with other students. Thirdly, attending these festivals give information on the different fields of study. JISTech 2K16 was comprise of Inter Department Model Exhibition at Institute Level, Inter School Model Exhibition, Inter College Model Exhibition, Code Fluenza, Game Zone, Robotics, Debate, Quiz, B-Plan and Guest Lectures & Photography Exhibition. Proper guidance is provided on the field of stage presentation, model presentation. JISTech, 2K16 is the place where high profile delegates used to visit. Through their valuable advice the symposium turns out to be a big successful event. Students are allowed to discuss their plans with the delegates. Students are encouraged towards the stat-up processes form the industrialist personality. Interdepartmental Exhibition is one of the most eye catching events. All departments of JISCE gather and present their capabilities and receive the prizes for the best. Providing a platform for students to presents their innovative ideas and models and implementing those ideas in real life scenario is the prime motto of JISTech, 2K16. In the JIS Tech Symposium, a sizable number of School project was exhibited with Inter and Intra-Institutional engineering design and manufacturing models. Around 300 Institutions were approached and the teacher representative from nearly 150 institutions participated in the national Seminar and visited the stall. There was separate stall to exhibit engineering design /model for every departments and separate arena for invited institutions.

The National Seminar on TRME held on 22nd January, 2016 in the Morning session (10:00 am to 2 pm) at Dr. B.C. Roy Auditorium. The eminent personalities among invited guests are Mr. Divya Gopal Ghatak, Dy. Director, Grant in Aid, Govt.

11. 4 The Practice:

JIS Group Educational initiatives have signed a Memorandum of understanding forCenter of Excellence in collaboration with stakeholders from different areas of research and development of the Federation of Russia.

JIS Group Educational initiatives have signed a Memorandum of understanding with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, for cooperation in the common interests of teaching, training and research.

The placement cell gives career guidance to the students from 2nd year to 4th year as well as job guidance. The college trains the students in

( a) Connective English ( b) Domain knowledge ( c) Social work through NSS and through students life Center (d) NCC training are introduced from 1st year to 3rd year. ( e) Book Bank has been formed to give at least 5 text book to each student from 1st year to 4thyear.Besides

these book normal lending at the library persists. (f) The library remains open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (g) E-library facilities are provided and E-books and journals are available for the students. (h) JISCE and Bombay IIT signed a MoU for the distance mode of teaching to the students. IIT (B) given 150

AkashTablets for this program. A special smart class room prepared for this. Mentoring System: The main objective of mentoring system is to go beyond purely academic concern towards the all roundwell being of the student and to help them for emotional and mental stability. The students in each class are divided in groups of Ten (10) students and one faculty member is attached to each group. A date sheet is given to faculty concerned who notes the meeting of the students in each week. The faculty gives special attention for the 10 students regarding his Co-curricular activities and extracurricular activities. Extensive remedial teaching is given to the academically weaker students who are identified by diagnostic test. The students are counseled for other problems like financial, health, personal etc. The girl students are guided and counseled by the lady faculties. Career guidance and counseling is done for all students. Career Guidance : More than 200 students of 4th yr. appearing in the GATE 2017 examinations. In 2016 , 93 students scored high in GATE examination. UG students acquire limited knowledge through lectures in the class room and reference work at library. But this exposure is not enough for them to the real life situation. Adaptation of Participatory approach is very important. In this way they can identify a problem , analyze the causes and finding the solution. This way of learning process is meaningful and interesting. JISCE introduced the Project work in the 3rd and 4th year courses as compulsory topic and it is within the curriculum of the courses. We have an MoUYotto lab, Bangalore, TCS ion for training some students as Internee. The students identify the problem in consulted with the faculties who works as guide and one from Industry as co-guide. This area makes the students most interesting. This enables students to adopt scientific approach in the study of any problem and helps them to develop analytical skill for data collection and analysis and learn to prepare a project report and develop the attitude for research. The faculty who is guiding the students for project divide the students into groups on their Choices and select a research project, research design, collection of reference data, journal consultation etc. Project Work: For every project a faculty is allotted as a guide based on the areas of specialization and choice of the student. The student constantly interact with the guide. The guide and the Department Council
