Following are some of the significant achievements over the last four years. The program outcomes are
achieved through curriculum that offers a number of mandatory courses as well as elective courses. Each
course has defined course outcomes that are mapped to the program outcomes and a set of performance
criteria that are used to provide quantitative measurement of how well course outcomes are achieved. The
course outcomes are thus directly and quantitatively assessed, and are tied to the program outcomes as shown
in the course syllabi. Therefore if the course outcomes are met, the program outcomes are met. With the
implementation of the specified delivery methods, the effectiveness of the courses is enhanced which helps in
the attainment of POs.
The college ensures the attainment of POs by the students through an evaluation and assessment plan which
consists of the following components:
Class attendance and participation in class discussions etc., are
Homework and Assignments
Projects
Slip tests
Internal Assessment Examinations
Retests
Independent learning and behavioral aspects
End-Semester Examinations
Paper presentations
Feedbacks
2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to evaluation both at the
college and University level?
Internal Assessment: After the internal examinations, the evaluated papers are distributed to the students
and the problem areas in their performance are discussed. Doubts are resolved and feedback is provided to
improve their performance further.
University examinations: The grievances of the students associated with university examinations are
corrected through various mechanisms such as revaluation (photo copies of the evaluated answer scripts). An
application for revaluation is forwarded through an application from the student through proper channels to
the University.
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?
Every department has detailed Program Education Objectives (PEO) to be accomplished and a collective
effort is made to synchronize Program outcomes (PO) with course outcomes (CO) to cater the needs of every
student. Faculty of the concerned subject creates awareness on the same from time to time. The course
NAAC Self Study Report

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.

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.

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.

Title of the Practice: Go-Kart
Goal:
To enable the student to acquire world class knowledge and real time exposure with an outcome
based learning.
The Context:
Go Kart Design Challenge is a contest formulated to enhance the approach of students practicing
Engineering and Diploma courses. This event is fundamentally all about designing and fabricating a
Go Kart at very low expenditure.The teams participating in this contest have to go through two
rounds, Pre-Final Round (PFR) and Final Round (FR). 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.
ISNEE will be conducting various scholarship tests in which only ISNEE members can register.
They will be given various scholarships if they appear in these tests.
The student members will have chance for attending the semester training. ISNEE provides live
projects of developing F-1 car, ATV, Go-Kart, Quad and may other projects.
There will be several awards for the students and Student Chapters like, best Student Chapter of
the year.
Evidence of success:
Students developed technical skills along with soft skills which helped in the campus
recruitments.
Students were able to get employability skills which essential in their career.
Students participated in various competitions such as presentations, Workshops, project expo.
