EXTRA & CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
University is aware of the need to ensure overall development of the personality
of the students so that they can face the world through the demands for self-
confidence and leadership qualities. It is with this object in view that the students
organize programmes with guidance from the faculty members. Students are also
encouraged to participate in programmes organized by other universities/
institutes. The programmes that are taken up include:
1. Sports & Games: Sports events are organized at the University level as
well as at regional level, through the aegis of the organizations like
Association of Indian Universities. Facilities with the University include
cricket field, volleyball courts for boys and girls, football, basketball, table
tennis (in hostels), tennis (a Tennis Academy has been established),
badminton and athletic courts. A gymnasium and a swimming pool are
also planning to be established.
2. Techno Events: To inculcate in the students to excel in technological
development through infusing in them the spirit of competition, these
events are organized where students from other universities/ colleges
participate to show their design of implements.
3. Cultural Events: Cultural events like stage plays, musical programmes
etc. are organized with extensive participation from other universities/
institutes.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Community Development has been an integral part of the activities of the University
for the basic reason that it is the community of the area that had donated the land for
establishment of erstwhile Chhotu Ram State College of Engineering later upgraded
to the University in November 2006. Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Chair for Sustainable
Development has been established to involve the community in the affairs of the
University. The jobs assigned include:
1 Research into the life and works of Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram.
2 Launching of awareness programmes on road safety in view of the locality
forming part of a high-speed corridor with very high potential of accidents.
Through the programme, activists are sought to be identified and trained for
reducing the potential of accidents in the area as well as providing assistance
when such accidents take place.
3 Students of the University have launched a programme, SAVERA, for
teaching children of the contractors’ employees working in construction
19
projects closeby. They are trying to link up the students, after initial coaching,
to local schools or open-school programmes.
4 Others: Coaching of SC/SC students/Remedial classes.
AWARDS
University has been awarded the most energy conscious campus of Haryana for the
year 2009-10. Association of Commonwealth Universities has awarded the
Honourable Mention award in the category of community service and outreach
(2012). CCI Technology Education Excellence Award (2013) for Best University for
obtaining research grants from different sources.
MEMBERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL BODIES
University has been accorded membership of the following bodies:
1 Association of Indian Universities.
2 Association of Commonwealth Universities.
3 International Road Federation.
4 Life member of Indian Concrete Institute and has a Student Chapter also.
For attaining excellence in the field of education the National Assessment and
Accreditation Council has identified seven areas as the basis of their assessment
and accreditation by using the identified yardsticks for each of the criteria. The
seven basic criteria with their implications of assessment are detailed below
separately.
Curricular Aspects:
A strong theoretical base, with an equally strong application of such knowledge,
will obviously be the best choice. But both these aspects cannot, by any stretch of
imagination, be static in nature in the current practices and extension of
programmes with widening knowledge base and the natural follow-up, with two-
way relationship, with research. The curricula, therefore, will require to be
reviewed at frequent intervals as may be dictated by scientific developments in the
field. But on the other end, being the procedures that have to be followed for
updation of such curricula, for which three years has been identified as the ideal
but with minor changes incorporated at shorter intervals, where found necessary.
The Choice Based Credit System that has been implemented for all the courses
being run under the semester system provides for automatic review of the
curricular content where changes needed are incorporated, with changes in the
credits, in the light of developments in each of the programmes of studies.
Teaching Learning and Evaluation
However strong a curricular aspect may have been made and however strong may
20
be the aspect of its knowledge planned to be put to use nothing will help unless
you have an equally strong translation of the curriculum in an atmosphere of a
strong teacher-learner interface followed by an equally practical approach to the
evaluation process that is specific and transparent. There is, further, a great
disparity in the students as well as the teachers as to the process of transfer of
knowledge and there may be differences in the choices and aptitude of the students
for which wider choice may be suggested for the student to pursue at the UG level
which they propose to take up at higher levels in their service career or further
studies.
Research, Consultancy and Extension
Teaching and research are practically the two faces of the same coin in that they
are dependent upon each other for excellence in the knowledge of any subject.
These are complementary in nature in that improvements in one help improvement
in the other with attainment of excellence in both the fields. Other aspects of
knowledge base are where knowledge keeps ahead of the practices through
research. It is here that teacher can render services to the industry for upgradation
of their technologies or the operations. And excellence gained through teaching
and research must yield benefit to all through dissemination of such knowledge to
others around. Extension services for the industry as the base or for addressing a
particular pocket of poor educational infrastructure the University has to move
forward to address such societal imbalances for balanced growth opportunities for
all sections of the society.
Infrastructure and Learning Resources
Teaching Learning Research cannot become effective unless one has the needed
inputs so that the jobs can be carried out in a manner to obtain the maximum
benefits from the whole process. Workshop support, laboratories, classrooms,
Internet services, library etc. provide for the needed ground for all elements in the
teaching-learning process to be put in place for success of the enterprise.
Modernisation in every sphere of education has made things easier for the teaching
learning to be made a pleasant experience. The loads on the teachers and learners
can be cut down in case the interactive system of learning accords to the student
the opportunity to refer to the lectures at will. Likewise the teacher has only to
upgrade and update his lessons without the need of having to give the same
information time and again since all that is stored on the modern day gadgets is
readily available for reference and updation.
Student Support and Progression
Student is the focal point of all activities that comprises the education
process. The objectives that the student has set himself/ herself obviously
forms the base for all the steps that need to be taken to ensure that the entire
exercise yields benefits to the student and through him/ her to the whole
21
economy and the nation. Without producing quality student no progress can
take place and vice versa.
Governance and Leadership
Delivery system for any enterprise determines the effectiveness of the
whole system. Delivery of products at the right time, of right quality at the
right place is crux of any good and effective management. Further
effectiveness of the system depends, for its operation, a leader with the right
qualities. One may have a very good operational plan but that can simply
collapse if the implementing mechanism is not manned by the right man to
take decisions, develop strategies and take his team to the heights that,
again, are changing in the modern day technical and technological boom in
every aspect of human enterprise.
Innovative Practices
Innovation is the buzzword today with a strong competitive environment
that has its national ramifications. This has become so with the
improvements in the communication channels, which have practically made
the whole world a small village. Without innovative outlook one may lose
the competitive edge and lose the market and be considered obsolete in the
current state. It is, therefore, imperative that innovation permeates all the
other six parameters so as to become a guiding force for others to follow.
The cutting edge obviously is to be on the look out for innovations at every
stage. The aspects that need attention being:
• Curricular aspects: Every effort to be made to incorporate the latest
practices and developments in the fields of studies. Revision of
curriculum be made a regular affair with due regards to the opinions/
suggestions of all the stakeholders.
• Teaching Learning and Evaluation: It should be a continuous
exercise for reviewing the status as to be more interactive and
transparent in nature.
• Research, Consultancy and Extension: The three are complementary
to each other and be considered in that light for improvements in
industry-University interaction for benefits to all.
• Infrastructure and Learning Resources: Infrastructure to be
strengthened at all stages for overall improvements.
• Student Support and Progression: Students are the best indicators of
the status of a University. Their expectations to be viewed in the
light of their future plans and programmes after campus.
• Governance and Leadership: A built-in mechanism of the type of
pre-audit will help in correcting the problems before these become
unsurmountable or cumbersome to handle. The objective being to
22
provide for self checks. And this obviously calls for a higher dose of
transparency.
The entire system may require to be examined and reviewed at intervals to
ensure that the functioning of the system is not beset with any open ends to
cause some problems.
SWOC ANALYSIS
Though University is not very old, established in 2006, but it has the legacy
of a college that was established in 1987 over an area of 273 acres of land
under rural environment and laid along National Highway No. 1, around 50
km from the ISBT, Kashmere Gate, Delhi. It has much renowned strengths
that are unmatched and few weaknesses that need to be strengthened
through appropriate measures. The aspects are covered through the analysis
detailed below:
STRENGTHS:
As indicated earlier the University is endowed with strengths that accrued to
it by virtue of long existence, research and consultancy within the State of
Haryana. Advantages of the University has outlined not only covering the
curricular aspects but other areas in engineering, applied sciences,
management and humanities. This helps the students to develop themselves
in other areas also and put them in advantageous position, when compared
to students from within the State as well with the universities/ institutions
outside the State.
1. Curriculum: While designing the course curriculum highest priority is
given to meet the industries requirements and enhancing the students’
quality for bridging the quality gap between industries and academics. In
order to strengthen the curriculum, close interaction with the outside experts
from academic/ research bodies is sought for help in curriculum
development. Some of such experts are on the Boards of Studies and
Research where inputs from them are incorporated in plans and
programmes of the University. Frequent interaction with experts from
industry/ business enterprise/ research institutions during Conferences/
Seminars/ Workshops also help in knowing the changes taking place.
2. Co-Curricular Activities: To extract the inner talent and creativity of
students, the co-curricular activities are integrated with the programme
syllabus. The experimentations in development of scientific/ technical
gadgets by the students are also displayed for a wide coverage.
3. Extra-curricular activities: Cultural festivals on different themes are
being organized on various occasions for encouraging the students to
23
participate in other activities in multifarious areas of performing arts, fine
arts, etc. to instill in them to face competitiveness over a broad geographical
area for their talents.
4. Communication skills: Feedbacks obtained from different stakeholders
have revealed that one of the drawbacks observed are lack of
communication skills that are augmented through formalized programmes
on the subject with the help of University English faculty members.
5. Help for weaker Sections of Society: Besides special programmes for
students from the rural background, students belonging to the weaker
sections of society are coached not only in improvements in the current
study areas but for enabling them to appear for competitive examinations
for civil services at the State or Central level. Such Remedial Coaching is
available through a programme under the aegis of the University Grants
Commission. The needy students are also given financial assistance under
earning while learn, half and full tuition fee weaver schemes.
6. Counseling in nearby areas: Teachers and students from the University
render service to two schools for boys and a college for girls by counseling
them for selection of their career options.
7. Sports infrastructure: Sports activities refresh the mind and energize
the body by reducing stress and make a person healthy and fit. University
has developed good infrastructure for sports activities. Besides study
University regularly encourages the students to participate in all types of
sports at State, National and International level. For smooth conduct of
sports activities, University has appointed one Director Sports and two
DPEs. Sports infrastructure available in the University campus includes:
• Tennis Academy having four lawns (Synthetic & Cemented) and a
tennis coach for training
• Two Basketball courts
• Gymnasium equipped with modern equipments
• Playground for track & field events, Football, Volleyball and Cricket
practices
• Construction of new building is joining in for indoor sports such as
Badminton, etc.
8. Locational advantage: University laid along the National Highway
provides for easy access from far off places. It was this reason, and
considering demand of the working professionals, that Part-Time (weekend)
programmes have been introduced.
9. Multiple subject coverage: Wide coverage of the subjects enables vast
coverage of allied areas for expansion programmes or those with multi-
24
disciplinary base. University has set up Center of Excellence for Energy and
Environmental Studies, Sir Chhotu Ram Chair, etc.
10. Research/ Consultancy Services: Extensive involvement of the faculty
in research and consultancy jobs provides for strengthening of the teaching-
learning process and generates additional revenue for the University.
Consultancy is regulated by University consultancy rules.
11. Career-Oriented programmes: The regular programmes are addressed
adequately through curricular revision and the career options are made
wider through Career-Oriented programmes conducted by the University.
Three of the programmes being run at present are Energy Conservation and
Use of Non-conventioal Sources of Energy, Remote Sensing/ GIS and
Repairing of Hospital Equipment.
12. Serene Environment: Location of the University under rural settings
makes it fit for intellectual growth of the students.
13. E-Resources: University has a strong base of E-journals and other e-
resources for reference of the faculty and students alike such as Science
direct, Francis & Taylor, Emerald Insight, etc.
14. Computer Centre: University has constructed separate building to
have an independent Computer Centre for academic and research purpose.
A dedicated lease line from BSNL is procured for linkage of the University
for High Speed Internet. Teaching blocks are covered by cable network and
all the hostels connected through Wi-Fi system.
15. Faculty: A strong faculty base is an important resource for conduct of
the teaching-learning process effectively. All the departments and centres
have adequate faculty members in different areas of specialization for
teaching and research. Of a total of 178 faculty position on roll around 50%
have Ph.D. as the highest degree. Those faculty members who do not have
Ph.D. degrees are pursuing the same under University faculty members or
from other universities. Faculty members are credited with research
publications and doing research projects of DST, UGC and Haryana
government.
16. Workshop: University can boast of a very strong workshop that is
equipped with the latest equipment for imparting on-the-job training for the
students.
17. Medical Services: Health Centre of the University has been established
with adequate provision of the needed medical and para-medical resources.
Emergency services include an ambulance available round-the-clock,
equipment for pathological investigation, first-aid room etc. Two medical
25
officers, one male and one female, are available for service to the students
and others within the campus.
18. Student NGOs: Students are encouraged to be involved in community
service. Children of the contractual employees working in the University
are taught by the students (SAVERA), which help them in providing
elementary schooling and reducing the burden of their parents.
19. Community Service: Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Chair for Sustainable
Development has been established with multiple objective of carrying out
research in the life and works of the Deenbandhu. The department is
involved in connected activities of sustainable development. The Chair
addresses local issues including one of the serious issues of accident
potential of the National Highway. A group of activists are being drawn for
rendering first-aid services in case of accidents and be the group in service
in the event of disasters striking on roads or elsewhere.
20. Strong Community linkage: It is the community that has been
responsible for establishment of the erstwhile college upgraded to the
University. The land area of 274 acres was donated by the community in
1987. Therefore, 1% of seats in each branch are reserved for the children of
residents of Murthal village (ROM Category).
21. Physical infrastructure: Infrastructure improvement is taking place at
a fast pace enabling scope for expansion of programmes both vertically as
well as horizontally. University has given highest priority for development
of infrastructure to meet all types of needs. The University infrastructure
includes: Classrooms & faculty rooms for all departments and centres;
Administrative building; Separate building for Library & Computer Centre;
Seminar & Auditorium; Workshop & laboratory facilities with all required
equipments for research; XEN office; Sports complex; Shopping complex;
four boys’ hostels; three girls hostels; residential quarters for faculty &
sporting staff; Guest house; Pump house; two open theatres: two buses &
one Tractor and land for future expansion. All the academic buildings and
administrative offices are connected with Genets for uninterrupted power
supply.
22. Central Laboratory facilities: Central Instrumentation Laboratory has
been established with a view to provide unified support to all the
departments.
23. Exchange Programmes: University has executed MoUs with four
foreign institutions/ universities with the objective of not only exchange
programmes for faculty and students but also for bringing in the best in the
curricular content at par with some of the best in the world and encourage
the collaborative research.
26
24. Innovation Council: University has setup an Innovation council with
the support of National Innovation Council and Haryana State Government
Innovation Council. Under this scheme, University gives Rs. 50,000/- as
seed money to faculty members and the students to materialize their
innovative ideas and creativity.
25. Alumni: University Alumni is strength in terms of training and
placement, getting consultancy work and participants for management
development programme.
WEAKNESSES:
As indicated the University was established on upgradation of erstwhile
Chhotu Ram State College of Engineering, which started functioning from
1987. While infrastructure is being added but support on the front of
establishment of laboratories etc. is needed so that research can pick up
even at undergraduate level making the gamut of teaching learning to be
made more interesting and productive. The areas that need particular
attention are:
1. Strengthening laboratories: Technological developments have made
some laboratories redundant which need to be spruced up to make the
totality of the teaching-learning more interesting and imbibing in the
students with avenues for research and developments even in the context of
the industrial practices observed by them while on their internship training
programmes.
2. Internship training: By far the training programme in the present shape
does not help either the students or the University in so far as the pattern is
not commensurate with the curricular content. Without theoretical coverage
of the subject of their training students rarely can contribute either to the
industry or practicalisation of their theoretical knowledge. A more pro-
active and thoroughly involved faculty-student involvement in the industrial
problem definition and solution can be the only solution.
3. Workshop practices: The present system of workshop practice needs to
be made more stringent in coverage and application. The objective is to give
a comprehensive cover of the subjects during this stage.
4. Academic calendar: Where the admissions are through State Counseling
Society (at UG level) the process is delayed affecting the teaching days in
the first semester for UG courses.
27
5. Intellectual Property: University research and development work is still
not helping in generating intellectual property and till today the University
does not have any patents in its name.
6. Financial strength: University still depends on State Government for
faculty salary and fund for development works. University is not generating
sufficient revenue through consultancy work and the revenue contribution
from this work is minimal. University does not have any Corpus and
Endowment in its name.
OPPORTUNITIES:
1. Location of the University in NCR and rapid industrialization: University
can explore the possibility of making collaboration with industries/ firms
for industry-academic partnership.
2. Capitalizing the lab infrastructure in revenue generation by extending the
facility to industries/ firms.
3. Due to the NCR locational advantage, University has ample scope for
starting part-time programmes not only in the basic subjects but also in
allied areas for working professionals who can commute from far off
places.
CHALLENGES:
Mushrooming of professional colleges in the locality, some of which are
sponsored by corporate houses, make for functioning of these purely on
business lines that can put the University to some disadvantage obviously
because of a different philosophy of governance. As indicated while the
institutions have cost-benefit analysis as the criteria, University has to
address responsibilities to the society and the nation as a whole. The
problems that arise include:
1. Faculty retention: Privatization of higher education and inflowing of
large industrial house may threaten the University in retaining the quality
faculty members because University is bound to follow the state
government pay scales. Therefore, private institutions/ industries may
attract these faculty members by offering higher pay packages, which
University cannot offer.
2. Corporates in Education: As indicated the entry of corporate sector in
the education system makes for change in the total identity of the
stakeholders and the criteria becomes more like that of a business enterprise
rather than anything of a social responsibility. Change in focus puts a higher
responsibility onto the universities/ colleges funded by the State or Centre.
28
3. Utilization of the infrastructure: To compete with the corporate sector
the State funded institutions have to find out ways and means of increasing
utilization of the infrastructure to ensure that the stakeholders do not
complain of costs being added onto them.
4. Multi-disciplinary courses: This is the buzzword today. Coverage of the
subjects at the basic level provides for an opportunity to expand these
programmes based upon a market survey. Starting these programmes, as
part-time programmes will be an option that will find favor with the
working professionals.
5. Shortage of faculty: In many specialized fields, it is very difficult to get
good quality faculty due to non-availability of Ph.D. degree holders in that
area. Further, today’s’ generation is more attracted towards corporate world
as compared to academic institutions.

specialized programmes they pursue from second year
onwards.
j. CIL: Central Instrumentation Laboratory has been established
providing for centralized support for study and research at all
levels.
2. Research: Research is an integral part of the teaching-learning
process. Further, research takes into account the advancements
taking place in the fields of study and research through not only the
Audio-visual means but also through on-line journals that help
researchers take up from the current researches that offer avenues
for further research in basic or allied areas. Stress on research is
being given through the following areas:
a. Research Scholars: Former Chhotu Ram State College of
Engineering, which was upgraded to the University from
November 2006, was affiliated to Maharish Dayanand
University, Rohtak. It started conducted its own study
programmes from academic year 2007. The University took up
research programme from the academic year 2009 with over
300 candidates applying for researches leading to the degree of
Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) of which only 90 were
registered. Their plans of research are on the verge of
completion with some scholars submitting their theses.
Research Scholars were again registered in 2011 and 2013 with

c. Student involvement: The University organizes Technological
festivals once a year during which the students exhibit
developments on robotics and other gadgets. Participation in
such festivals is wide and exhibits are awarded. Such
participation provides for a forum for active participation by
many institutions enabling students to improve upon their
developments for future participation. Students are also
encouraged to participate in other instutions/ universities
inculcating in them refinements of their developments. Some
of the awards received by students are:

Automated Wheel Chair for Quadriplegic
and Paraplegic patients has been selected in
the presentation at National Expo in IIT
Kanpur. The project was executed under
the guidance of Mr. Dinesh K. Atal.
3. Inclusive expansion of programmes: Creation of a broad-based
knowledge centre is established through introduction of multi-
discilinary programmes, catering to the market demand,
societal needs and other related issues. Areas that have been
47
addressed are:
a. Multi-discilinary programmes: Some of the programmes
that have been started as well as those proposed include
Hospital Administration, Highway Safety and Engineering,
Construction and Estate Management, Forensic
Biotechnology, Food Technology, Industrial Safety etc. etc.
b. Part-time programmes: In the present-day educational set
up in the country it has been a choice by default that people
continue to feel that they can continue to expand their
knowledge base in the same subject or in a multi-
disciplinary setting. Further, they feel that they can edxploit
the opportunities which donot interfere in the professional
services they are rendering. It is here that the University has
tried to help such working professionals for options.
University has started a number of programmes for such
working professionals including:
i. UG level programmes for working diploma holders in
branches of engineering including Civil Engineering,
Electrial Engineering, Electronics and Communication
Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering and
Mechanical Engineering.
ii. PG level programmes that have been started include
Hospital Administration, Urban and Rural Planning,
Highway Safety and Engineering, Electronics and
Communication Engineering and Computer Science and
Engineering.
c. As a matter of policy reservations have been given in
admissions to various programmes for students belonging to
the deprived categories. Further, there are some
shortcomings in the students from such categories, as well
as others from rural/ under-developed background, mainly
in the area of communication skills. Special programmes
are organized for improving upon their skills and, hence,
their employability. Special programmes of Remedial
Coaching are also organized to help students from the
reserved categories to compete for State and Central Civil
Services examinations.
d. As a matter of Institutional Social Responsibility University
students and faculty are offering counseling services to
nearby schools and a girls’ college to help them select their
career and the preparation that they need to undergo to be
successful in selecting their career as well as pursuing that
career effectively.
48
e. Students are guided by faculty not only to develop in them
the spirit of leadership but also instill in them the need to
develop in a competitive situation on moving out of the
campus. Areas addressed are as under:
i. Students are guided to lead the cultural and technical
events not only in-house but also such events organized
by other institutes/ universities. These technical events
call for presentation of students’ design of gadgets for
display in operation and are awarded. Further, the
participants are encouraged to showcase their designs at
other fora as well.
ii. In case of cultural events participation in cultural events
which are organized within the University as well as in
other institutes/ universities.
iii. Sports events also have varied participation encouraging
students to excel and students are encouraged to
participate at State and National level.
f. Students have been involving themselves in other social
activities through creation of NGOs. One such NGO is
SAVERA, which helps children of the contractors’
employees working within the University campus. Besides
helping them in their studies they help them in admissions
to formal education system. They are occasionally provided
mid-day meals as well.
g. Foreign Collaboration: To bring the totality of teaching-
learning process on international level University is on the
lookout for collaborations with foreign Institutes/
University for starting exchange programmes for faculty
and students both. With this end in view an International
Affairs Cell has been established in the University for
dealing with all the international activities of the
University. The main aim of this cell is to finalize policy of
admission to international students. This Cell also explores
possibilities of entering into memorandum of understanding
/ Exchange programmes with foreign universities. In this
endeavor the Cell has been successful in having MoUs
executed with the following institutions/ Universities:
i. Tampere University of Finland
ii. University of Applied Science, Hochschule
49
Ostwesfalen-Liffe, Detmold, Germany.
iii. Daeduk University, 48, Jang-dong, Yusong-gu,
Daejeon, Korea-305-715.
iv. North Dakota State University, USA
4. Evolution of their skills in the fields of their specializations or
with diverse specifications: Skill development is of prime
necessity where employability of the students is to be
improved upon. Another area that has been seen as a hurdle in
employment is lack of communication skills which is a more
serious problem with those hailing from different
geographically backward areas or those from socially
backwards classes. This is a problem that has been sought to
be addressed through the measures as detailed below:
a. As indicated above communication skills are improved
upon so that the students can face up to the competition at
national/ international level.
b. Training: It is one area where high stress is laid for the
basic reason that application of the theoretical knowledge
obtained in the classroom is improved upon. Guided
training in the 4th and 6th semesters of the UG level
technical programmes have this as an essential component
of the internship training over a period of four weeks.
c. As indicated earlier the first curricular content is common
at the UG level during which a strong exposure is ensured
in all aspects of engineering and technology so that a
wider view of things is ensured before they are exposed to
narrower curricular content from the second year onwards.
d. Guided projects on internship training, which is reviewed
by the faculty concerned as well as through an open
seminar participated by the industry managers.
5. Awareness of the product about their responsibilities to the
society, nation and the international community: Student
community is aware that on leaving campus they have their
competitors not from the country alone but also from across
the globe. Action that has been taken by the University to
improve upon their understanding of the issues involved are:
a. Course on ethics and culture.
b. Programmes for improvement of communication skills for
general category as well as students from under devoloped
areas or from the socially backward classes.
c. Participation of students in cultural festivals and running
of social programme named as SAVERA help them link
50
up with the community. Career counseling is rendered in a
local girls’ college and two schools which help to acquint
them with social responsibilities, which they can be called
upon to perform, during their service after campus.
6. Innovative and entrepreneurial outlook: The pattern of
curricular content does not fit well with the internship training
for the reason that assigning students in the fourth semester,
particularly, can be said to be counterproductive in the sense
that students armed with comparatively poor knowledge of the
subject visiting industries cannot yield any benefits either to
the industry or to their knowledge base. These drawbacks can
be addressed through:
a. Group internship training with student composites forming
group from different years pooling their knowledge base
and fed with specific problems of the industry will go a
long way in improving effectiveness of such programmes.
b. Higher participation both by the faculty and the industry
will be called for.
c. Anticipated higher involvement of the industry will benefit
both the University and the industry.
d. As part of the changed schedules will call for real-life
problems to be evaluated thouroughly enabling the
students adapt in economic analysis and develop
confidence in self-employment.
MISSION: To achieve excellence in education and research in
main and related areas of Applied Sciences, Engineering,
Technology, Architecture, Management and Healthcare and to
occupy a place of pride amongst the most eminent organizations
of the world.
With excellence as the underlying objective plans and
programmes of the University are translated for attainment of the
objectives through:
• Encouraging research at all levels amongst teachers and
scholars.
• Encouraging students to participate in technical festivals,
besides the one they organize every year in the University
with participation from colleges/ institutions/ universities
closeby, organized at regional, national level.
• Encouraging students with real-life problems for their
internship training after fourth and sixth semesters.
• Collaboration with other universities/ institutions at
national/ international level with exchange programmes for
51
students and faculty both will help broadening of the
outlook to the curricular content as well as research being
conducted at national/ international level.
• Career-oriented programmes help students not only to
expand their career options but also help them have an
integrated view of things.
• Higher interaction with the industry/ research managers for
benefit of both faculty and students to know the trends in
industrial practices and researches and incorporate the
developments in the curricular content of the courses. Such
interaction is provided for through membership of such
managers in the decision-making process of the University.
• Frequent revision of the curricular content.
• The University has subscribed higher dose of ICT as a tool
for teaching-learning process including lectures available
through intranet and through on-line journals.
• Video conferencing with faculty of IIT Bombay helps
students and faculty have a broader view of the subjects
through live interactions.
• Higher exposure of the faculty and non-faculty positions to
Management Development programmes within the country
through premier Management Institutes.
1.1.2 Does the university follow a systematic process in the design and
development of the curriculum? If yes, give details of the process
(need assessment, feedback etc.)
Yes.
Curriculum for subjects of Engineeing and Technology call for
change at very frequent intervals in view of fast changing
business scenario in these and allied areas. And such revision has,
therefore, to be carried at intervals of three years with minor
changes depending upon the changes in the technological arena.
In case of the latter minor changes can be carried out through
changes in the allocation of the credits while the thorough change,
as proposed every three years, is the one that has to follow a
particular procedure outlined below:
1. Perusal of the curricular content of other institutes/
universities on national/ international level.
2. Reference to the progress in research not only in the basics
of the engineering and technology but also in the area of
delivery system of the education sector.
3. Trends in the research in the basic and allied areas.
52
4. Participation of faculty in seminars organized by the
University or on other forum duly participated by industry
managers and researchers.
The steps that go into formulation and finalization of the
curricular content that are followed by the University include:
i. Group discussions between the faculty members.
ii. Feedbacks received from students, industry, alumni
considered and incorporated in the draft curriculum.
iii. Changes proposed to the Chairperson of the Department.
iv. Approval by the Dean of the Faculty.
v. Composition of the Board of Studies of the Department
including experts from outside.
vi. Approval of the Board of Studies by the Competent
Authority.
vii. Convening the meeting of the Board of Studies with draft
changes provided to all the members in advance.
viii. Deliberations by the Board of Studies recorded and
changes suggested incorporated in the curriculum.
ix. Approval of the changes and final curriculum by the Dean
of the Faculty.
x. Inclusion in the agenda note for approval of the Academic
Council.
xi. Submission of the changed draft to the Academic Council
for approval.
xii. Any dissent/ modifications suggested are to be
incorporated and cleared by the Dean of the Faculty and
put up to the Academic Council in the next meeting.
xiii. Curriculum approved is notified and published before
admissions.
1.1.3 How are the following aspects ensured through curriculum design
and development?
• Employability.
• Innovation.
• Research. Education can be likened to a process that results in value
addition to the raw material and such product has to have a utility
value in accordance with the end-use. In case of students going
out of the university obviously have to satisfy the moulds that
have been cast for them to snugly fit into these. There are,
however, differences between the material products and the
human ones for the basic reason that the attributes are not static
but very much dynamic and are necessarily subject to reaction to
53
the cues, which makes the product different. The other aspect is
that even the knowledge they have acquired is not the end in itself
but a beginning only in the sense that it is the application of the
knowledge they have gained is important and its applications,
which are varied, and changing every day. The “processing” that
a student is subjected to requires the attributes of the product to
have pre-requisites of:
i. BEHAVIOR: Definition of capability of the person to react
to the cues that comprises the job assignments that are given
to him/ her. Application of the theoretical knowledge
acquired.
ii. CONDITIONS: Skill requirements to negotiate the
variations in assignments under which the student will
perform.
iii. CRITERIA: The benchmark for knowing his capacity
against the standards prescribed for both the behavior and
the conditions.
The process of designing obviously has to take into account what
the ultimate requirements are, a strong knowledge base, strong
applicability of the knowledge obtained, multiplicity of the
knowledge requirements and, finally, the needs of the
environmental factors including social, cultural and economic. All
these factors the student has to comprehend to be successful in
the place of his work. All these factors, again, are not static in
nature but very dynamic, sometimes, bordering of being fragile/
volatile. The mould the student has to fit himself in is not an easy
job and requires multiplicity of skills and adjustment of the cues
that again requires him to visualize and adjust with a very high
speed and, sometimes, with high flexibility. Though at the lowest
rungs in the organizational structure one has to have a higher
component of technical skills but man-management skills do
require to be acquired where one has to work at the shop floor and
at higher level with skills helping to handle both the peers and the
seniors. Taking the essential criteria into account the grooming
that is necessitated, inter alia, comprise:
i. Appropriate curricular content for classroom.
ii. Effective hands-on training in workshop.
iii. Coverage of all areas relevant to engineering/ technology
including allied areas.
iv. Allocation of project formulation/ case study right from
the first year providing for wide coverage of the subjects.
v. Group internship rather than based on only students from
one level of the students, guided and programmed jointly
54
by the faculty and the industry. Fourth semester internship
has no meaning if the subject of studies has not been
covered in the classroom and hence not appropriate to the
industry, neither the students nor the industries are
benefited.
vi. Even beyond the first year interactive exposure with other
subjects/ departments is provided in the curricular content.
vii. During the third and final year design and economic
analysis must become an essential part of the curricular
content. Such designs/ project reports be exhibited and
deliberated upon by a body established at the highest level
and be awarded. Such an action will help students:
a. Involve themselves in self-study and economic
analysis.
b. It will help emphathise with industry/ research
institutions for investigation and logical analysis.
c. Develop in the students to diversify their interest into
entrepreneurial skills and start their own business.
d. Advance study for internship training in groups so that
they start to have an active role in preparation of
project reports that can be reviewed jointly by the
faculty and the industry managers. This will help
industry to, further, assess the potential of the students
for employment.
Centre to all matters concerning the teaching-learning process is
the quality of the students for the jobs assigned to them. It has
lately been stated that the standard of the fresh graduates has been
poor as their employability particularly from the standpoint of
their application of knowledge. This apparently is the result of
watertight compartmentalization that has been more of a rule than
an exception. For all technical courses first year has a common
curricular content. This is where stress is laid on two aspects,
namely, multidisciplinary outlook and a very strong practical
training through workshop. The areas desired to be covered are
detailed below in respect of each of the important parameters.
1. Employability: It has been assessed lately by the employers
that the standard of the students is going down and, in some
cases, even has started casting doubt on the very aspect of
campus selection. There have been cases where earlier
selection process has been doubted and decisions reversed.
This reflects badly not only on the students but also on the
institutions/ universities as well as to the efficacy of their
teaching-learning process. Areas that have been adequately
addressed include:
55
• Workshop practices: Stress on workshop helps students
to have a practical view of things. This is one area,
which has been seen to be responsible for poor
application of knowledge seen as affecting
employability of students. Such workshop practices also
need to be expanded to cover beyond the aspect of
mechanical engineering but provide for exposures in
other areas as well.
• Internship training: This is imparted after the fourth and
sixth semesters for a period of four weeks each. This is
sought to be made proactive through higher involvement
of the faculty, industry managers and inclusive student
groups with specific assignments designed by the
industry in consultation with the faculty. Exposure to
real life problems with needed support and a structured
evaluation process will help go a long way in converting
the theoretical knowledge with practical applications.
• Leadership/ participation: As indicated above water
compartmentalization does help in conceptualization of
problems that one can be called upon to attend in the
practical live situations. This is where grooming at the
campus level needs to be done so that they are
encouraged to work in groups and be not averse to
participation in groups where diverse skill requirements
are needed.
2. Innovation: Technical events organized by technical
institutions/ universities are occasions where students
present their research developments in their areas for a
comptetive assessment by the judges. The multi-
disciplinary approach to such developments with wide
participation and at variety of levels infuses in the students
to excel in their developments. They are encouraged to
present their developments, as indicated, at regional/
national levels. The University makes allocations to the
students with financial support for participation in
different fora as also design of such gadgets. Avenues
provided by the University include:
a. Financial support for the students.
b. Allocations for the faculty from the University for
pursuing research and innovation.
c. Establishment of innovation/ incubator for
exploring new areas both for research and business.
3. Research: As indicated earlier case studies with real life
56
situations in industry to the students with composite
participation will help the students not only a wider vision
of the issues but also a deeper vision which help them
develop their inclinations towards research from the
beginning itself enabling them to be motivated towards at
a later stage and through their life after campus. This will
form an assest and will, further, help them develop their
entrepreneurial skill once they are called upon to formulate
a project with the implication of viability through
economic analysis. While faculty is encouraged to seek
assistance from the funding agencies they are open to seek
assistance from the University for Researches in their
fields. Research is getting the needed support by the
University is apparent from number of projects the faculty
have been awarded by the different agencies including
AICTE, UGC, DST etc. As indicated above 30 projects
have been awarded by different agencies and are in
different stages of implementation.
1.1.4 To what extent does the university use the guidelines of the
regulatory bodies for developing and/ or restructuring the
curricula? Has the university been instrumental in leading any
curriculum reform, which has created a national impact?
The guidelines issued by different regulatory authorities are taken
into account for conduct of the programmes starting from the
admissions to the stage of conduct of the examinations. Such
guidelines are followed in words and spirits as issued from time
to time by UGC/ AICTE/ NET/ NATA/ MAT etc. Different
activities forming the totality of the curricular content as detailed
below:
Admissions: Admission is based on entrance examinations
conducted by central admission services of Central Board of
Secondary Education followed by on-line counseling by the State
Counseling Society. This ensures transparency and expediency
for conformity with the academic calendar.
Acedemic calendar: Academic calendar drawn up before start of
the session has to be complied with. Discrepancies, wherever
result from unforeseen circumstances are addressed through extra
contact hours on weekend etc.
Faculty appointments: These are in accordance with the
guidelines in respect of qualification as well as maintenance of
57
the cadre.
Library: University complies with the guidelines issued by
AICTE/ UGC in terms of the books and the titles.
Internet facility: Internet connectivity has been arranged through
a dedicated 1Gbps leaseline of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.
Intranet facilities are available for linking up with e-books, e-
journals and expert lectures available. Hostels have been linked
up through Wi-Fi system.
Campus facilities: Students are provided with facilities of a Post
Office, Bank and a shopping complex for meeting their daily
needs.
Examination: System is in operation with a Secrecy Cell which
ensures a totally fool-proof system. OMRs have been provided
for fast processing of results.
Anti-ragging: A very strong Cell has been created to ensure that
no ragging is allowed to take place. CCTVs and flying squads
provide for a round-the-clock coverage at all the critical points in
the campus.
Grievance redressal system: An Ombudsman has been appointed
to address the complaints of the students. Sexual harassment/
Women Cell: A Women Cell has been established for speady
redressal of grievances of the female students/ employees of the
University.
SC/ ST Cell: Has been established to ensure that there is no
discrimination against students belonging to the reserved
categories.
Boards of Studies and Research: These have been constituted to
ensure that the curricular content is revised at intervals not
exceeding three years.
Persons with special needs: Campus is sought to be made disable-
friendly. New structures are provided with lifts and plans are in
hand for installing lifts in the old teaching blocks. Ramps have
been provided in hostels and the teaching blocks. University is in
touch with Rehabilitation Council of India in this regard.
58
1.1.5 Does the university interact with industry, research bodies and the
civil society in the curriculum revision process? If so, how has the
university benefitted through interactions with the stakeholders?
Interaction with the industry/ research institutions is a matter of
routine from membership of the Boards of Studies and Research
of the different departments, selection panel for recruitment of
faculty and membership of various statutory bodies besides their
participation in the seminars/ workshops and conferences
organized by the University. For the industry University, by
virtue of its location within a heavily industrialised belt, has the
advantage of arranging guided tours of the industry and the
programmes on internship training for which the industrial
enterprises offer their services to it. University has a system of
regular interaction with all the stakeholders including employers,
parents, alumni, students and faculty members for updation on the
developments in the fields of teaching and research to assess the
needs of change in the curriculum which is duly considered by
the respective Boards of Studies of the Departments for
consideration and incorporation in the curriculum and, later,
approval by the Academic Council. Through all these
programmes University has benefited not only in expansion of
programmes but also for addition of new programmes, basic or
multi-disciplinary, through which University has been able to
serve the community better. Examples of such benefits accruing
to the University include:
i. Start of multi-disciplinary programmes like Civil
Engineering, Hospital Administration, Highway Safety
and Engineering and other programmes both at UG and
PG level.
ii. University has taken up research as a very important
aspect of teaching-learning process. There are over two
hundred research scholars engaged in research in
practically all areas under the 16 teaching departments.
iii. Part-time courses through weekend classes have been
started with the objective of needs of the working
professionals who wish to upgradate their qualifications
and for specializations in multi-disciplinary areas.
iv. Facilities for the students through hostels have been
augmented.
v. Additional space has been provided for different
departments.
vi. Faculty strength has been improved.
vii. National Board of Accreditation (NBA) has accredited all
the eight UG programmes. Applications have been made
59
for 5 PG courses in Engineering and Technology and one
for Management Studies are pending consideration by
NBA.
viii. Letter of intent has already been submitted to National
Assessment and Accreditation Council for accreditation of
the University.
ix. Start of PG courses in Science streams.
x. Higher enrolment of students and researchers.
xi. Start of integrated 5-year courses in Management Studies
and Mathematics.
The involvement of the stakeholders is through the forum as
detailed below:
i. Feedback from the employers during the period they visit
campus for placements in the organizations.
ii. Feedback from the alumni during meetings organized once
a year within the campus. Besides formal feedback
obtained, informal get-togathers help the students, faculty
and students to seek their advice for changes they might
have felt were needed by the University to changes
incorporated in all areas including academic matters.
iii. Experts in different fields are invited as guest speakers
during special events besides their visits for meetings of
the Boards of Studies and Research of the departments.
Their feedback is obtained for direct inclusion in the
curricular content of the courses and programmes.
1.1.6 Give details of how the university facilitates the introduction of
new programmes of studies in its affiliated colleges.
University has its own teaching departments, in all 16 in number,
and 26 colleges affiliated to it. Such colleges have programmes of
engineering and technology, management and architecture. While
it is expanding its own departments or additions of courses in
these departments. It encourages the affiliated colleges also to
expand in areas where the University has specialized
programmes. Not many additions have taken place but different
colleges have expanded architecture as a subject as part of their
departments or as separate schools of studies in these colleges.
1.1.7 Does the university encourage its colleges to provide additional
skill-oriented programmes relevant to regional needs? Cite
instances (not applicable for unitary universities).
60
University on its part provides for low-end courses as well.
Courses leading to diploma level are conducted in foreign
languages like French and German. More are proposed in
languages like Chinese and Arabic. Further three Career-Oriented
courses are being conducted in the areas of:
i. Remote Sensing and GIS, and
ii. Tapping of Renewable Energy Resources
iii. Repairing of Hospital Equipment.
While University conducts such programmes, it also considers
similar programmes to be launched by the colleges affiliated to it.
University, further, encourages the colleges to participate in these
programmes with their students enrolling for these programmes.

programmes.
1.2.3 Does the university have an explicit policy and strategy for
attracting international students?
Yes.
An International Affairs Cell has been established in the University
with the object of bringing about changes in the system to bring it
at par with some of the best institutions/ universities at the
international level. The Cell functions with a Co-ordinator of the
rank of a Professor under the overall supervision of the Vice
Chancellor of the University. The main aim of this cell is to finalize
policy of admission to international students. This Cell also
explores the possibilities of entering into memorandum of
understanding / Exchange programmes with foreign universities.
Under one of such programmes University was host to ten students
from Malaysia who had been assigned for internship programme in
Environment Biotechnology.
With the object of brining the University on an international
platform the Cell has been successful in having MoU executed with
63
the following institutions/ Universities:
1. Tampare University of Finland
2. University of Applied Science, Hochschule Ostwesfalen-
Liffe, Detmold, Germany.

1.2.4 Have any courses been developed targeting international students?
If so, how successful have they been? If no, explain the impediments.
All the programmes in basic sciences, engineering, technology,
architecture, management and humanities are available for foreign
students to pursue. Electives etc. can be offered once the students
join and opt for new courses to suit their choices and countries.
1.2.5 Does the university facilitate dual degree and twinning
programmes? If yes, give details.
There are no twinning programmes offered by the University. Dual
degree programmes have been started one each in the departments
of Management Studies and Mathematics. More are planned in the
future.
1.2.6 Does the university offer self-financing programmes? If yes, list
them and indicate if policies regarding admission, fee structure,
teacher qualification and salary are at par with the aided
programmes?
Yes. The fee structures are attached as Annexure-1(a) and 1(b).
Policies of the University in regard to admission procedures, fee
structure, teacher qualification and pay are at par with such policies
for regular programmes. The competent authority of the University
duly approves fee structure. Duration of the programmes is
different to ensure coverage of the curricular content. For UG
programmes duration of four years has not been changed for the
reason that the diploma holders have adequate experience and as
field visits and internship training has been excluded. For PG
programme duration has been increased to three years against two
years for regular programmes. All these part-time programmes are
run through weekend classes. Details of the programmes are given
below. These programmes have been introduced seeing the demand
of working professionals for enhancing their career options in
higher specializations and in multi-disciplinary settings. Some of
these programmes have been converted to full-time regular
programmes.

1.2.7 Does the university provide the flexibility of bringing together the
conventional face-to-face mode and distance mode of education and
allow students to choose and combine the courses they are interested
in? If yes, give operational details.
There is in general, shortage of faculty positions in the University
and more so in affiliated colleges. To overcome this problem it is
proposed that video-conferencuing system will be provided for
linking up the colleges with the University so that the problem can
be addressed. University does not have any plans to introduce
education by the distance mode.
1.2.8 Has the university adopted the Choice Based Credit System
(CBCS)? If yes, for how many programmes? What efforts have been
made by the university to encourage the introduction of CBCS in its
affiliated colleges?
Credit Based System has been introduced in the University with
effect from 2008. On affiliation of the colleges to the University the
system has been introduced in all such colleges. Choices of the
students are allowed in respect of elective courses where options
are permitted if sufficient students for the subjects are available. In
case of Research Scholars, credit transfer is permitted where one
semester of the programme is compulsory for those registered for
degree of Ph.D. and the scholar has attended such regular
programme from another institute/ university.
1.2.9 What percentage of programmes offered by the university follow:
65
• Annual system.
• Semester system.
• Trisemester system.
100%. All the prgorammes of the University and the affiliated
colleges follow semester system.
1.2.10 How does the university promote inter-disciplinary programmes?
Name a few programmes and comment on their outcome.
With diverse areas of engineering, technology, architecture,
management and humanities inter-disciplinary courses can be
started and such courses are in demand for the basic reason that
these oprovide for a wider scope for the working professionals to
expand their horizons and, in the process, widen their job options.
Some of such programmes taken up/are being taken include:
i. Hospital Administration (PG).
ii. Highway Safety and Engineering (PG).
iii. Construction and Estate Management (PG).
iv. Food Technology (PG).
v. Forensic Biotechnology (PG Diploma).
Some of these programmes are conducted both as regular
programmes as well as part-time programmes through weekend
classes. Such programmes as are conducted through weekend
classes are sought after by the working professionals, for whom the
University has been a pioneer in starting such programmes. It has
provided for a wide geographical coverage for the students. The
programmes conducted not only enable the students to have
promotional avanues open to them but, further, add to the spectrum
of their employment opportunities.
At lower levels courses conducted in languages and career-oriented
programmes help UG students to explore side jobs/ businesses/
employments in such diverse areas like Remote Sensing/ GIS,
Energy Conservation and Repairing of Hospital Equipment. Studies
of foreign languages help their mobility across the borders.
1.3 Curriculum Enrichment.
1.3.1 How often is the curriculum of the university reviewed and
upgraded for making it socially relevant and/ or job oriented/
knowledge intensive and meeting the emerging needs of students
and stakeholders?
66
Curricular contents of all the courses have been planned to be
update within a period of three years. In view of all the courses
and programmes being subject to evaluation through credits the
process becomes easy with variations in the credits that are
assigned for different items of the curriculum to the extent
these become important with changes in the technology calling
for such changes.
1.3.2 During the last four years, how many new programmes at UG
and PG levels were introduced? Give details.
• Inter-disciplinary.
• Programmes in emerging areas
With the objective of strengthening other programmes high
stress has been laid on basic sciences and for starting other
courses, of inter-disciplinary and emerging nature, as well. A
very strong need had been felt about the need of programmes
for working professionals both at the UG as well as PG level
and, again, both with strenghtening the background of the
professionals as well as demands for multi-disciplinary base,
for providing to them scope to enable them to move up the
organizational ladder. Details of the programmes introduced
within the last four years are as detailed below:

1.4 Feedback System
1.4.1 Does the university have a formal mechanism to obtain feedback
from students regarding the curriculum and how is it made use of?
Student is the most important of all the stakeholders and his/her
aspirations form the basis of all activities that go into the teaching-
learning process. Formats of feedbacks from the students have
been designed with a view to understand not only the perceptions
of the students in the course of their studies but the teaching-
learning process in totality. Formats designed cover the areas
indicated below:
i. Initial questionnaire on admission (One month after admission/
69
Orientation)
ii. Course Content.
iii. Student Feedback on Teachers (Separate for each Teacher)
iv. Students’ Programme Evaluation (To be filled in only after
final results are out)
v. Exit Questionnaire for Graduating Students (In the last week of
classes, before the examination)
vi. Overall Rating of Programme (To be returned by them after the
final examination results)
Such feedbacks provide for a detailed assessment of the
programme with all its parameters in totality calling for changes
that may be dictated not only in the curricular content of the
programmes but also other administrative aspect of the
programmes.
1.4.2 Does the university elicit feedback on the curriculum from national
and international faculty? If yes, specify a few methods such as
conducting webinars, workshops, online discussions etc. and its
impact.
Mechanism is in place for obtaining feedbacks from the faculty
working in national and international institutes/ universities so that
the students are groomed to face the world. The forums for
obtaining the feedback and incorporating it into the curricular
content are as indicated below:
i. Seminars/ workshops/ conferences organized by the
University or participated by the faculty members and the
students.
ii. Visit of the faculty and students to industrial organizations
to know the changes or innovations in the technological
options with their implications to the curricular content.
iii. As indicated earlier MoUs have been executed with some
foreign universities/ institutions that will enable exchange
programmes both for the students necessitating changes in
the curricular content.
iv. Expert lectures from the faculty of other institutions/
universities, recorded available on the intranet, and live
interactions with faculty from other institutions. Lectures
through video-conferencing by the faculty from IIT,
Bombay have been started with open participation and
interaction with students/ faculty of the University.
1.4.3 Specify the mechanism through which affiliated institutions give
feedback on curriculum enrichment and the extent to which it is
70
made use of.
Affiliated colleges are also obtaining feedbacks from students, as
in respect of other stakeholders, of which the data is sought by the
University to effect changes as may indicated by the students and
accepted for incorporation in the curricular content of the
programmes. In the event programmes are not covered by the
University the colleges concerned are advised to incorporate the
changes through the process of approval by the Board of Studies
constituted and submitted to the University for approval of the
competent authority before submission for approval to the
Academic Council of the University.
1.4.4 What are the quality sustenance and quality enhancement measures
undertaken by the university in ensuring the effective development
of the curricula?
Quality is subject that permeates every one of the activities of the
University. Efforts are made to make it as an effort in perpetuity.
Some of the activities in different areas relevant to the teaching-
learning process are detailed below:
i. Curricular aspects: Revised over a maximum of three years’
time. Varied subjects being run enable a broader coverage
of the subjects.
ii. Teaching Learning and Evaluation: ICT is increasingly
being utilized as a tool for better teaching-learning process.
Feedback mechanism has been introduced from students
and Alumni.
iii. Research, Consultancy and Extension: Faculty is
encouraged to undertake consultancy and research projects.
There are at present thirty researches, 15 consultancies and
three Innovative projects being implemented by the faculty.
Besides three add-on programmes are being run as Career-
Oriented Programmes.
iv. Infrastructure and Learning Resources: Within the last two
years a 300-room girls’ hostel, a teaching block
accommodating eight departments, library-cum-computer
centre, expansion of shopping complex, extension of hostels
both for boys and girls have been established. Other
facilities are being established in respect of Student Centre,
and Convention Hall.
v. Student Support and Progression: There is consistent
growth in enrolment.
vi. Governance and Leadership:
a. 273 acres campus under rural environment.
b. Well-laid out buildings and sports facilities.
71
c. Tennis Academy has been established.
d. Convention Centre is nearing completion.
e. Round-the-clock medical services are available with
two doctors in attendance and an ambulance.
vii. Innovative Practices: Innovative programmes with multi-
disciplinary approach have been established. The UGC and
Ministry of Food Processing have cleared two such
programmes.
viii. Tissue culture lab is in the process of being established.
1.4.5 Any other information regarding Curriculur Aspects, which the
university would like to include.
University has started a unique programme of conducting part-time
programmes that cater to the needs of the working professionals
who either wish to pursue higher studies in their main subjects or
in allied areas. Such programmes, unlike programmes conducted in
evening under urban situations, are conducted on the weekends
with extensive contact hours. The advantages such programmes
over part-time programmes through evening classes are:
i. Coverage of the professionals is over a wider geographical
area
ii. High contact hours
iii. Duration is increased for PG courses in multi-disciplinary
areas from two years for regular to three years for such part-
time courses. For diploma holders undertaking B.Tech.
programmes duration has been maintained at four years
with no internship training etc.
Criterion II: TEACHING–LEARNING AND EVALUATION
2.1 Student Enrolments and Profile.
2.1.1 How does the university ensure publicity and transparency in the
admission process?
Admissions to the regular as well as part-time courses including
registration of scholars for research leading to the degree of Ph.D.
are transparent. The procedures adopted for admissions at different
levels are detailed below:
i. UG programmes (regular): The basic of admission to the
regular programmes is through on-line conducted by
Haryana State Counseling Society based upon results of
72
AIEEE for all the institutions/ universities in Haryana.
ii. PG (regular): Admission tests are conducted for all the
institutions/ universities in the State of Haryana based upon
admissions are done depending upon their merits and
options the students give.
iii. UG/ PG (part-time): These are through open advertisements
in the dailies having national circulation. In the event
number of applicants being more than the intake entrance
examinations are conducted based upon which admissions
are done on merit.
iv. Research Scholars: Open advertisements with entrance test
followed for admission. This is followed for one semester of
regular programme followed by the research under the
guidance of the faculty positions after clearance by the
Departmental Research Committee. Research Council has
been established at the University level to guide the
researches.
2.1.2 Explain in details the process of admission put in place by the
university. List the criteria for admission: (e.g. (i) merit, (ii) merit
with entrance test, (iii) merit, entrance test and interview, (iv)
common entrance test conducted by state agencies and national
agencies (v) other criteria followed by the university (please
specify).
Different criteria adopted for admission to different courses is
based on mainly merit within the list of applicants. Details in
respect of the criteria are given below:
i. Merit: This applies to admissions in technical courses
(engineering/ technology), which is conducted by Haryana
State Counseling Society based on results of
AIEEE/JEE(mains). In case of admissions to B.Arch. these are
based on 10+2 merit and NATA score.
ii. Merit and Entrance Test: These apply mainly to admissions to
PG courses where number of applicants is more than the
number of seats and a written test is conducted based upon
which admissions are effected.
iii. Merit, Entrance Test and Interview: The process is applied to
registration of scholars for research leading to the degree of
Ph.D. In such cases normally and additional criteria introduced
is the presentation of their proposed research before the
Departmental Research Committee for final acceptance of the
topic of research and the guides.
iv. Common entrance test conducted by state agencies and
national agencies: B.Tech. / B.Arch. admissions are made as
73
per Procedure explained at point (i) above. M.Tech/MBA
admissions are made out of the merit of GATE/MAT score.
v. Other agencies: None
2.1.3 Provide details of admission process in the affiliated colleges and
the university’s role in monitoring the same.
The processes of admission for all courses conducted by the
affiliated colleges are the same both for UG and PG courses.
2.1.4 Does the university have a mechanism to review its admission
process and student profile annually? If yes, what is the outcome of
such an analysis and how has it contributed to the improvement of
the process?
With commitment to the annual academic calendar the entire
gamut of activities connected with the admission are reviewed so
that the University sticks to the academic calendar. The position in
respect of the first semester is really challenging in so far as the
results of AIEEE as well the Haryana State Counsel are delayed
restricting the teaching days in the first semester. The problem
starts from the results of IITs and AIEEE since students opt for the
IITs as a first priority with those covered by AIEEE having to wait
for the admissions for IITs to close. Ths calls for changes limiting
the counseling for admission so that the classes are started with
least delay and, through this, avoiding long delays and covering of
the backlogs, which is not easy.
2.1.5 What are the strategies adopted to increase/ improve access for
students belonging to the following categories:
SC/ST.
OBC
Women
Persons with varied disabilities
Economically weaker sections
Outstanding achievers in sports and other extracurricular
activities.
Policies of the Haryana Government are followed for reservation
for different categories of students, which are followed by the
Haryana State Counseling Society through their on-line admission
programmes. These reservation programmes motivate students of
different categories to improve in their central/ local entance
examinations. Normally more number of females students are
admitted than the reserved capacity. Reservations, in general, are
in respect of students that fall within the category of the State
quota. In case of UG programmes such quota of the State is 85% of
74
the total admission. Details of reservations are as indicated below:
SC: 20% of the State quota
ST: Nil
OBC: 27% of the State quota
Female: 25% of the total intake
Persons with disabilities: 3% of the State quota
Economically weaker sections: Nil
Outstanding sports persons: Nil

2.1.8 Were any programmes discontinued/ staggered by the university in
the last four years? If yes, please specify the reasons.
No programmes have been discontinued though some part-time
programmes have been additionally started as full-time (regular)
programmes. Such of the programmes that have been started as
regular programmes are:
i. Hospital Administration
ii. Urban and Rural Planning
2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs of Students
2.2.1 Does the university organize orientation/ induction programme for
freshers? If yes, give details such as duration, issued covered,
experts involved and mechanism for using the feedback in
subsequent years.
Induction programme is organized for the freshers, which is
chaired by the Vice Chancellor of the University and all the
Chairpersons of the departments and Deans of the different
faculties and various heads of the non-teaching departments are
present. Even parents of some students also attend the programme.
During the programme an informal atmosphere is created so the
students can interact with their seniors and faculty members who
can pose questions to them in a very cordial atmosphere. They are
given all details about functions of the different departments,
security arrangements within the campus and report of any
untoward incidents that they have to report in the event there being
the slightest attempt at ragging by the seniors. Such induction
programmes are followed by lunch.
2.2.2 Does the university have a mechanism through which the
“differential requirements of the student population” are analysed
after admission and before the commencement of classes? If so,
how are the key issues identified and addressed?
University realizes that the students come from a variety of social
76
and economic backgrounds having some inherent problems of
communication skill can harm their progress in the study
programmes. It is, further, realized that a big component of the
students are released from the folds of their parents that make them
shaky when they have to fend for themselves. This makes them
psychologically shaky and sensitive. It has also been found that
there are some students who are slow learners. All these issues are
addressed through programmes detailed below:
i. Tutor system has been introduced in the University with
such tutors having around 20 students under each holding
frequent meetings during which all issues, grievances etc. of
the students are addressed and resolved.
ii. An Ombudsman has been appointed in the University for
complaints that are resolved on priority bases.
iii. University has linkage with psychatriats (two one each male
and female) who are consulted whenever students exhibit
some abnormal bahiviour patter.
iv. Slow learners face problems that have easy access to the
teachers and are helped through extra contact with the
teachers and even, if necessary, through psychatrist.
v. Special programmes are organized for improving upon
communication skills of students from socially/
geographically background to enable them to come into the
stream of their study programmes and, even, after they are
through campus.
2.2.3 Does the university offer bridge courses/ remedial/ add-on courses?
If yes, how are they structured into timetable? Give details of the
courses offered, department-wise/ faculty-wise.
There are no bridge courses conducted by the University. The add-
on and remedial courses are conducted through evening/ weekend
classes.
2.2.4 Has the university conducted any study on the academic growth of
students from disadvantaged sections of society, economically
disadvantaged, physically handicapped, slow learners, etc.? If yes,
what are the main findings?
Based on feedbacks from various stakeholders and evaluation by
the tutors, each one of which have 15-20 students, observations
made and remedial actions taken are as detailed below:
i. Students from backward areas and some from backward
classes of community have been found to lack
communication for which they are not able to do well in
77
their examinations and can face problems during placement
services which the University space provides to them.
While University provides for special programme on
communication skill special programmes are organized for
such students for improving upon their communication.
ii. Students from the backward classes, besides problems in
communication for action indicated above is takem
additional services are provided to the students for special
remedial coaching enabling them to compete for civil
services examinations conducted by the State/Central
government.
iii. There are sometimes students that exhibit anamolous
behavior pattern in which reference is made to psychyatrists
on the rolls of the University for help in the matter. Two
such qualified pschychatrists are available, one each male
and female, for assistance on call. Slow learners are also
dealt with similarly.
iv. For economically disadvantaged students University has
launched a scheme for students, earn while you learn, which
provides to them some economic aid.
v. University has made all the new structures disabled-
friendly. Old structures are also planned to have lifts.
Hostels and other places have ramps laid out. One person
with disability has been provided with three-wheeled
scooter.
2.2.5 How does the university identify and respond to the learning needs
of advanced learners?
For learners, that are fast, efforts are made to ensure that materials
in the library and the facilities of e-journals and e-books are
available for advancing their studies. Such students are encouraged
to take up projects of design of instruments/ gadgets for which
financial assistance is provided to them.
2.3 Teaching-Learning Process
2.3.1 How does the university plan and organize the teaching learning
evaluation schedules (academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation
blue print, etc.)?
Academic Calendar: A detailed exercise is conducted in all the
activities of the University including the events concerning the
sports, cultural festivals and technical events. The programmes of
the different faculties and the courses are worked out to assess the
requirements of the physical resources and the faculty positions so
78
that the curricular content is enforced during the period available
nd termed as teaching days. Such schedules of classes, tutorials,
laboratory, workshop practice etc. are fixed beforehand ensuring
high utilization of the physical infrastructure. The curricular
content and the resources are matched so the curriculum coverage
is ensured within the schedules finalized in the calendar. Some
adjustments required for completion of the curriculum are left to
the faculty positions with the mandate for completion of the
curricular content on schedules. Sometimes faculty positions
organize extension classes where, because of ontoward incidents
the schedules fail, which are made up even, sometimes
compressing the holidays, summer/ winter.
2.3.2 Does the university provide course outlines and course schedules
prior to the commencement of the academic session? If yes, how is
the effectiveness of the process ensured?
Schemes of Studies and Examinations are given to the students
before the commencement of classes through syllabus, printed
version, and also a copy of the academic calendar based upon
which the lecture/ laboratory etc. scheduleds are displayed on the
departmental notice boards as well as the notice boards of the
departments where such classes etc. are held.
2.3.3 Does the university face any challenges in completing the
curriculum within the stipulated time frame and calendar? If yes,
elaborate on the challenges encountered and the institutional
measures to overcome these.
Yes.
The problems arise in the first semester arising from declaration
of results by the Haryana State Counseling Society which starts
counseling practically after the results of IITs are declared and
counseling completed. The Counseling by the Society moves well
into August leaving insufficient time for completing the
curriculum. The measures the University puts in place include:
i. In between counselings completing the process of
admissions as soon as possible so that time between
counselings can be cut down.
ii. Stop admissions after the first week of August so that
classes can be started from the third week of August.
iii. Restrict summer and winter vacations.
iv. Faculty takes initiatives to take extra classes on weekends
to complete the curriculum.
79
v. Reduce spread out of the technical/ cultural festivals to cut
extended breaks for such events.
2.3.4 How is learning made student-centeric? Give a list of the
participatory learning activities adopted by the faculty that
contributes to holistic development and improved student
learning, besides facilitating life-long learning and knowledge
management.
The entire teaching-learning process has students at the base of all
the actions/ activities of the institutes of higher learning. The
transformation that the students undergo determines the position
they will be after they are through with the campus. The areas that
are addressed through the programmes include:
i. Curriculum: This is made inclusive to cover the main and
allied areas to enable the students to analyse their problems
taking into account all the factors involved.
ii. Leadership development: Through extra- and co-curricular
activities organization of the programmes of cultural and
technical festivals enables them to develop sense of
leadership.
iii. Mentor system: On enetering a University there is a sudden
change in the students’ outlook because of withdrawal of
the support from the family. Such a situation sometimes
cause changed behaiour pattern that needs to be checked
and channelized.
iv. Internship training: Individually or in groups enables them
to have a sense of fellowship with exposure to the industry
yielding to them a level of confidence in inter-personal
relations.
v. Faculty: Normally faculty treat students more like friends
which makes the entire teaching-learning an experience
that the students relish and live on to cherish in after-
campus life.
vi. Community service: Students through establishment of
NGOs like SAVERA keep themselves close to the
understanding their problems and helping them where such
help is needed.
vii. Technical advancements: University provides the students
adequate opportunity to advance in their career right from
the stage of their life in the University. Students’ chapters
of different professional bodies make them develop a wider
outlook of their subject matter.
viii. Participation in professional events: Students are
encouraged to participate in seminars/ conferences/
80
workshops organized by the University or others so that
they can have a feel of things that are happening around.
ix. Special lectures: Special lectures are organized where
participation by both faculty and students is ensured so that
the students can have first-hand information on the
developments taking place in the industry/ research
institutions to understand the trends and, thereafter,
assimilate and organize themselves for the future.
2.3.5 What is the university’s policy on inviting experts/ people of
eminence to deliver lectures and / or organize seminars for
students?
As part of the awareness programmes for updating information
about the developments taking place in the industry and research
institutions experts from such places are invited as part of
different programmes that include:
i. Seminars etc.: As above indicated wherein participation is
inclusive.
ii. Board of studies and Research: Members of the Boards of
Studies and Research of different teaching departments
have such experts as members prodding help in areas
relevant to the teaching-learning process.
iii. Academic Council: Members from prominent organizations
of research and teaching are members and their advice on
all issues help improve the gamut of academic activities in
totality.
2.3.6 Does the university formally encourage blended learning by using
e-learning resources?
University has a fairly strong repository of e-journals (over 11,000
in all) and e-books (373) for the students and faculty to refer to for
their studies as well as research. University, further, has recorded
lectures- like NPTEL-video lecturers from prominent teachers,
which both the students and faculty can access through the
University intranet services. Video conferencing services have
been launched with IIT, Bombay, for an interactive lecture-cum-
discussion for both the students and the faculty members to attend.
2.3.7 What are the technologies and facilities such as virtual
laboratories, E-learning, open educational resources and mobile
education used by the faculty for effective teaching?
University has arrangements for extensive use of ICT for the
teaching-learning process. Facilities available and those planned
81
are as under:
i. Most of the classrooms have been provided with LCD
projectors.
ii. Interactive boards are also proposed to be providing in
some of the classrooms.
iii. Though there are limited virtual laboratories but audio-
visuals are proposed for best laboratory practices.
iv. Efforts are being made to provide to the students learning
material on line from the faculty positions.
v. No mobile education system has been outlined but it is
proposed to link up the affiliated colleges through video-
conferencing in select areas to start with.
2.3.8 Is there any designated group among faculty to monitor the trends
and issues regarding developments in Open Source Community
and integrate its benefits in the university’s educational processes?
Open Source Learning and Peeragogy are two areas that find
favour of extended learning in the modern day system of high-
speed internet services. With this end in view faculty have taken
upon themselves for motivating students with references to the
subject matters under study to enable them to pick advanced
knowledge on the subject or enrich the subject under study.
2.3.9 What steps has the university taken to convert traditional
classrooms into 24x7 learning places?
Through application of ICT one can have practically a 24x7
experience for the teaching-learning process. With extension of
the internet services to the hostels, through Wi-Fi system, it has
become an experience for the students and faculty both to expand
classroom covering the whole day.
While this improves the utilization of the infrastructure available
with the University but the University wanted the teaching-
learning process close to the professionals, who was either
seeking to expand their horizons through multi-disciplinary
courses but also for professionals, who could improve upon their
qualification. With this end in view University has started part-
time programmes both at UG and PG levels through weekend
classes. Details of the programmes conducted are:
UG: Civil, Computer Science, Electronics and Communication,
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering for working diploma
holder professionals.
82
PG: Specialised courses include Computer Science and
Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Other programmes include Highway Safety and Engineering,
Hospital Administration and Urban and Rural Planning.
2.3.10 Is there a provision for services of counselors/ mentors/ advisors
for each class or group of students for academic, personal and
psychosocial guidance? If yes, give details of the process and the
number of students who have benefited.
Moving out from the folds of a family puts lot of pressure on the
students, which, in some cases, cause some anamolous behavior
pattern in students. Further there are some students who exhibit
extreme learning abilities, which also need to be addressed.
University has well-maintained medical care centre with two
doctors in attendance round-the-clock with provision for
ambulance in case of physiological needs of the students.
University has, further, on its rolls two psychiatrists, one male and
one female counselor in case of anomalous behavior of some
students. Around 8-10 students of university are given such care.
Some slow learners, generally from social or geographical
background also exhibit some problems that, in general, emanage
from their failure to communicate with the faculty. For such
students special programmes for improving upon their
communication skills are organized to bring them to level footing
withers of the class.
In addition one faculty as counselor is attached with a group 20
students at the beginning of the session.
2.3.11 Were any innovative teaching approaches/ methods/ practices
adopted/ put to use by the faculty during the last four years? If
yes, did they improve learning? What were the methods used to
evaluate the impact of such practices? What are the efforts made
by the institution in giving the faculty due recognition for
innovation in teaching?
Within the last four years the faculty has taken resort to ICT for
improving upon the teaching-learning process. Besides lectures
through LCD projectors the students are also provided notes and
references through e-mail so that they look up for improvement
and comprehension beyond the classroom.
2.3.12 How does the university create a culture of instilling and nurturing
creativity and scientific temper among learners?
83
Various activities organized by the faculty members through field
visits, internship training and report writing the students are
encouraged to investigate and innovate. The cultural and technical
festivals organized see high attendance in the events giving them
the opportunity to see, investigate and innovate and participate in
the next festival. Symbiotic results of the teachers joining the
students have enabled some such innovative ideas being put up for
competition. Two such being design and development of gadgets
for use of disabled.

2.3.13 Does the university consider student projects mandatory in the
learning programme? If yes, how many programmes have they
been (percentage of total) made mandatory?
• Number of projects executed within the university.
• Names of external institutions associated with the university
for student project work.
• Role of faculty in facilitating such projects.
Based on internship training that the students undergo in the
fourth and sixth semesters they are called upon to submit reports
that are reviewed during class seminars. As part of the final year
projects are assigned to the students. Such projects are assigned to
all the students and for all subjects. Details are as under:
i. All the students are required to submit the projects.
84
ii. Where such projects are based on internship training the
industry managers are requested to review and be presented
at the time of the seminar for their presentation.
iii. Faculty guides and supervise the projects at all stages
during industry visits as well as in the laboratory.
2.3.14 Does the university have a well-qualified pool of human resource
to meet the requirements of the curriculum? If there is a shortfall,
how is it supplemented?
Though the University has a very strong faculty base for all the
programmes conducted but there is shortage of faculty in
departments. Such shortages are made up through recruitment
process of placing advertisements in the national dailies for
obtaining a wider choice subjected to a three-tier process. Despite
all the efforts the University shortages persist but such shortages
are not permitted to affect the implementation of the curricular
content through recruitment of visiting/ contractual faculty who
are, again, recruited through the normal process of open
advertisements followed by the next evaluations process.
2.3.15 How are the faculty enabled to prepare computer-aided teaching/
learning materials? What are the facilities available in the
university for such efforts?
It is unthinkable that any faculty and student are not aware of the
education system with extensive use of the ICT. Right from the
stage of on-line admission through counseling society (for UG
courses) and direct for PG courses, students use ICT extensively
with availability of the internet services available within the
University campus. The lessons for the students and tapping the
sources available to the students are made good use of through:
i. Faculty: Preparation of the lessons for presentation
through the LCD projectors permanently fixed in some of
the classrooms. Supply of additional study material
downloaded from the internet.
ii. Students: It is commonly seen that even students keep
themselves ahead of the classroom lessons through internet
services as well intranet services through which they can
access e-journals, e-books and recorded lectures like
NPTEL available on a variety of subjects.
2.3.16 Does the university have a mechanism for the evaluation of
teachers by the students/ alumni? If yes, how is the evaluation
feedback used to improve the quality of the teaching-learning
85
process?
University has established a system of feedbacks from various
stakeholders. With students as the biggest of such stakeholders
they know where they are going and what, and to what extent,
Univerity is contributing to their goals, goal of finding an
employer that suits both of them. In compliance with the
guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission feedbacks
are obtained from the students not only about the teachers but also
about teaching learning process that are important for the growth
of the University. Such feedbacks are obtained by the
Chairpersons of the departments for evaluation and, thereafter,
effecting changes that are dictated.
Alumni of the University also provide feedback about the
University functions in totality so that changes wherever needed
could be made. Meetings of the Alumni are held every year during
which close interactive sessions provide the requisite forum for
such productive outcome.
2.4 Teacher Quality:
2.4.1 How does the university plan and manage its human resources to
meet the changing requirements of the curriculum?
For timely completion of all the activities that form part of the
curriculum includes not only the teaching-learning process but that
of evaluation as well so that all the requirements of the curriculum
are met on schedule. Personnel for the entire gamut of activities is
managed through own resources and are deputed for the said jobs.
Human resource requirements are in respect of the following
categories:
i. Faculty: Details of the availability and the manner of filling
up the shortages have been given above.
ii. Technical personnel: Assistance in the laboratories is
adequate and wherever there is shortage of such assistance
contractual appointments are made.
iii. Evaluation process: The process, by far, is the most
demanding and for variety of purposes, from secrecy of the
paper settings, conduct of the examinations, security
arrangements, proper evaluation and declaration of the
results. With the activities and the need to conform to the
academic calendar the activities require speed and
confidentiality at the same time.

based on the laid down criteria, has not been received. Application
for one position of Professor Emeritus has been submitted to All
India Council for Technical Education. Appointment clearance is
awaited.
2.4.6 What policies/ systems are in place to academically recharge and
rejuvenate teachers (e.g. providing research grants, study leave,
nomination to national/ international conferences/ seminars, in-
service training, organizing national/ international conferences
etc.)?
University, as part of various programmes, keeps the faculty
positions updated with the knowledge on the subject but also
ensures that they develop their managerial skills as well, so that
88
they can discharge their other responsibilities with equal
effectiveness. They are also encouraged to participate in
programmes of research by different funding agencies like UGC,
AICTE, and DST etc. as a result of which they are assigned such
projects for research. Faculty positions are on the lookout for
projects in the domain areas for meeting consultancy requirements
of some organizations.
Faculty positions are sponsored for attending seminars/
conferences/ workshops on international level for presentation of
their research subjects.
With execution of four MoUs with some foreign universities/
institutions not only faculty but students as well, will be covered in
the exchange programmes.
Faculty positions are, further, encouraged to avail of Faculty
Improvement Programmes offered by the UGC for which they are
offered two years of leave from the academic positions for carrying
out research in the areas of their choice. Even other faculty
positions, if they otherwise qualify for leave for studies, they are
permitted two years’ leave for the purpose. Within the last three
years two faculty positions have availed of FIP and one faculty has
been allowed two years’ leave for carrying out research at another
university.
2.4.7 How many faculty received awards/ recognitions for excellence in
teaching at the state, national and international level during the last
four years?

2.4.10 How often the university organizes academic development
programmes (e.g. curriculum development, teaching-learning
methods, examination reforms, content/ knowledge management
etc.) for its faculty aimed at enriching the teaching-learning
process?
The entire gamuts of activities that comprise the teaching-learning
process are not static in nature at any point of time but are in a state
of perpetual change. Availability of internet services to the faculty/
students and intranet services made available provide for the
platform for such developmental jobs to be accomplished in respect
of curricular content, knowledge management etc. The system of
examination undergoes change arising from availability of fast
machines like Opctical Marks Reader (OMRs) etc. so that the
results are declared as early as possible on completion of the
examinations.
90
2.4.11 Does the university have a mechanism to encourage
• Mobility of faculty between universities for teaching?
• Faculty exchange programmes with national and
international bodies?
If yes, how have these schemes helped in enriching the quality of
faculty?
Faculty positions are permitted to move to other universities/
institutions for various programmes for limited duration of time,
which may call for rescheduling of their normal programmes of the
University, which are not permitted to suffer.
As indicated earlier MoUs have been executed with four
institutions/ universities according to which exchange programmes
both for students and faculty will be organized. Dr. Chitrarekha
Kabre of department of Architecture and Dr. Mukhtiar Singh of
Electrical Department are in academic relationship with other
Universities for special teaching programmes.
Benefits from such practices accrue as arising from exposure to
different social settings, curricular content, technologically
dynamic areas/ countries etc. that provide launchpad for
improvements not only in curricular content but also other allied
areas of co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes that have
yielded benefits to all the stakeholders.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms
2.5.1 How does the university ensure that all the stakeholders are aware
of the evaluation processes that are operative?
Evaluation centres have been established in the University and
affiliated colleges, which are under the direct control of the
Director/ Pricipal of the institutions. Provision has been made in the
rules that students can inspect the answer books after declaration of
results.
The process, being critical to the entire teaching-learning process, is
paradoxically a blend of transparency and secrecy in the sense that
while the process of evaluation are known to all the stakeholders
they are also entitled to question the performance of the students.
The secrecy is ensured through codification of the examination
papers for which a Cell has been established with a dedicated team
of officials put incharge of these programmes so that such jobs are
conducted at a fast pace so that the results of examinations are
declared with least delay.
91
Stakeholders are also aware of the laid down procedures to be
followed by the students to seek re-evaluation where he/ she has
doubt about the evaluation having not been properly conducted. Fee
for such re-evaluation is payable at the first instance and in the
event it is established that there was some mistake in the result of
original evaluation such fee is refundable.
2.5.2 What are the examination reforms initiated by the university and to
what extent have they been implemented in the university
departments and affiliated colleges? Cite a few examples, which
have positively impacted the examination management system.
Answer books are tagged with OMR sheets with confidential
number for speedy evaluation. Competent staff has been posted in
the EDP (Electronic Data Processing) Centre. Results are being
displayed on the University website (www.dcrust.in) and the
students can apply for revaluation online. Teachers online submit
Sessional/ Internal award.
2.5.3 What is the average time taken by the university for declaration of
examination results? In case of delay, what measures have been
taken to address them? Indicate the mode/ media adopted by the
university for the publication of examination results (e.g. website,
SMS, email etc.)
Results are declared within 40 days from the last date of
examination. Discrepancy, if any, is pointed out through the
institution and problems are being sorted out within a week’s time.
2.5.4 How does the university ensure transparency in the evaluation
process? What are the rigorous features introduced by the
university to ensure confidentiality?
The answer books are tagged with OMR (Optical Mark
Recognition) sheet containing three perforated parts with bar code
numbers. Students cannot know the confidential number of the
answer books. Confidential printer prints question papers. Paper
setters are appointed by the Vice Chancellor/ Controller of
Examinations out of a panel supplied by B.O.S. (Board of Studies)
2.5.5 Does the university have an integrated examination platform for the
following processes?
• Pre-examination processes- Timetable generation, OMR,
student list generation, invigilators, squads, attendance sheet,
92
online payment gateway etc.
• Examination process- Examination material management,
logistics etc.
• Post-examination process- Attendance capture, OMR-based
exam result, auto processing, generic result processing,
certification etc.
• Yes.
• Examination material is supplied by the University to the
examination centres.
• Yes.
2.5.6 Has the university introduced any reforms in its Ph.D. evaluation
process?
For evaluation of Ph.D. thesis, three examiners are appointed by the
Vice Chancellor out of which one examiner is from abroad. The
candidate is allowed to proceed for Viva only when report of two
examiners is satisfactory.
2.5.7 Has the university created any provision for including the name of
the college in the degree certificate?
Names of the colleges are being printed on the degree awarded by
the University.
2.5.8
What is the mechanism for redressal of grievances with reference to
examinations?
A student’s enquiry counter has been set up where students may
submit his/ her queries in the morning and they may receive their
solution in the evening on the same day.
2.5.9 What efforts have been made by the university to streamline the
operations at the Office of Controller of Examinations? Mention
any significant efforts, which have improved the process and
functioning of the examination division/ section. Most of the functions of the examination branch is online with a
separate website (www.dcrust.in)
2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes.
2.6.1 Has the university articulated its Graduate Attributes? If so, how
does it facilitate and monitor its implementation and outcome?
Attributes that a student moving out of the campus must have undergone
93
“development of sharp analytical mindset for working out solutions to
real-life problems involving this and allied areas for field/ research/
academic applications, enabling them to fit well in academic/ research/
industry scenarios adapting to varied social scenarios”. For attaining
these objectives University ensures students to be subjected to strong
curricular content that follows a strict academic calendar through:
i. First year of the curricular content is common thereby
allowing students to be exposed to wider subject coverage.
ii. Exposure to classroom teaching, laboratory and workshop
practices that encompass the subject and the allied areas.
iii. Internship training during vacation after fourth and sixth
semesters.
iv. Interaction of students with visiting faculty during special
expert lectures or through their participation in national/
internal seminars/ workshops/ conferences.
v. Preparation of projects connected with their internship training
and their joint evaluation by faculty and the industry.
vi. With MoUs executed with four institutions/ universities on
international level exchange programmes will help them
conceptualise the global environment with a view to mould
themselves to the changing needs.
vii. A strong library collection and e-content comprising e-
journals, e-books and expert lectures available through
intranet.
viii. Adequate bandwidth of Internet services in all the teaching
blocks and hostels.
Having provided to the students adequate facilities for students to
excel in their careers University monitors their performance not
only during campus when they are subjected to a detailed evaluation
process but thereafter too through feedbacks from the stakeholders
include:
i. Alumni during their annual programmes as well as through a
dedicated website of the alumni.
ii. Industry managers during special programmes of their visits at
the time of campus selection interviews, their expert lectures,
meeting of the Board of Studies and Research and at the highest
level during meetings of the Academic Council in which some
such persons comprise its membership.
iii. Membership of some on-line links of employers that
disseminate their biodata online to propective employers.
2.6.2 Does the university have clearly stated learning outcomes for its
academic programmes? If yes, give details on how the students and
staff are made aware of these?
94
As indicated above learning outcomes are clearly outlined for
information of all students and faculty so that with their objectives
clearly outlined both confluence to attaining such ends. Both know
the means that the University provides and they are motivated to do
their best. The business/ industrial houses that approach the
University provide the students the additional motivivation to excel.
2.6.3 How the university’s teaching, learning and assessment strategies
structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning
outcomes?
University is always on the lookouts for ensuring that not only the
academic calendar is adhered to but also the curricular content is
completed in words and spirit within the calendar. Startegies
adopted under the three heads are as detailed.
i. Teaching: Academic calendar cut outs the assignments of all
the faculty positions as well as other activities that form the
curriculum but deviations sometimes do result from
unavoidable circumstances for which adequate facilities are
made available to the faculty positions to complete the
curriculum through extended programmes during the
weekends. Sometimes even the vacational breaks during
winter/ summer are curtailed to accommodate deviations that
may result under some circumstances.
ii. Learning: While classroom teaching ensures coverage of the
curricular content but students are motivated by the faculty to
go beyond where there are some doubts in the minds of the
students. Not only such additional study material on the
internet can be referred by the students but e-journals available
on intranet provides to them additional learning resourse to
enable them go deep into the subjects for a better
understanding where the students are in doubt.
iii. Evaluation: This, sometimes, offers challenge for adherence to
the academic calendar for which University provides not only
for expedicious clearance of evcaluation of the written
examination but compilation of data is a big hurdle for which
computerized OMRs are utlised for faster evaluation process.
2.6.4 How does the university collect and analyse data on student learning
outcomes and use it to overcome the barriers to learning?
As indicated earlier feedback from the stakeholders provide for the
needed information for correcting the deficiencies as may be
pointed out. Such data from the students on faculty also provide for
a total picture of the teaching-learning process for objective
evaluation and remedial action to plug the gaps in the process in
95
totality.
2.6.5 What are the new technologies deployed by the university in
enhancing student learning and evaluation and how does it seek to
meet fress/ future challenges?
To make the entire teaching-learning process more effective use of
ICT in the process has become a necessity. While teaching-learning
process is improved through use of LCD projectors, addition of
interactive boards will provide a permanent copy of such
presentation for higher involvements of both the students and
faculty making the process easy to maintain and easier to update. In
case of evaluation devices like OMRs provide for speedier
evaluation process cutting down on time for adherence to the
academic schedules.
Any other information regarding Teaching, Learning and Evaluation
which the university would like to include.

• In interacting with its stakeholders?
• In reinforcing a culture of excellence?
• In identifying organizational needs and striving to fulfill them?
The education system forming base for the developmental activities of
the country has to keep itself ahead of others not only within the country
but beyond the borders. The students are trained to view the current
global competitiveness and think beyond such national barriers. The
leader of the team has, therefore, not only to keep himself abreast in the
industrial developments taking place but also has to ensure that such
development is not lost sight of in the curricular content of the
programmes being run and the dynamics of starting other programmes
that can find a market at present or with the thing to come in the near
future. The areas that need to be addressed are:
i. Management: One cannot be bogged down by the routines. The
leader has to ensure that not only he delegates authority appropriately
but maintaints its effectiveness. For absorption of technology and
bringing the entire at the global level he has to be on the lookout for
partners in development so that the University has an edge over other
competitors, local and global. He has, further, to ensure that SWOC

other. This not only applies to the administrative matters but also to the
formulation of the academic programmes where participation of allied
areas is ensured. This being particularly so where programmes of studies
are in inter-/ multi-disciplinary areas. The level of such participation is
equally wide and deep from the grass-root of the departments to the
highest decision-making body of the University.
6.1.7 Give details of the academic and administrative leadership provided
by the university to its affiliated colleges and the support and

With the agenda of the University defined well by the Vision and
Mission of the University it plans to achieve its objectives through a
multifarious set of activities for each of the areas mandated by such
vision and mission. The areas addressed are:
i. National development: University hopes to contribute to the
development of technical manpower to ensure contribution to
attainment of national goals. Involvement of the industry and
research institutions and the needed impetus given to research
provides for an integrated development of the students who can then
conceptualise things for betterment of the society as a whole.
ii. Competition: It is at present impossible to conceive of growth
within the walls of a campus. With increase in technological
developments moving at a fast pace with development of the
communication channels has rendered the entire world as a market
calling for a high degree of incorporation of competitive mindset in
all the strategic decision making process so that one can ensure that
the product from the University will be in a position to face global
competition.
iii. Value System: The students are not only made to acquire technical
skills but are exposed to higher involvement in co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities so that they develop their man-
management skills as well. Their active involvement in cultural
activities prepares them for their Corporate Social Responsibility
that may be assigned to them on leaving campus.
iv. Excellence: As indicated excellence is built into the system and the
students know their position in the market to enable them to face the
challenges they may be called upon to face in the corporate world
after leaving the campus.
6.2 Strategy Developments and Deployment
143
6.2.1 Does the university have a perspective plan for development? If yes,
what aspects are considered in the development of policies and
strategies?
• Vision and mission
• Teaching and learning
• Research and development
• Community engagement
• Human resource planning and development
• Industry interaction
• Internationalisation
University, as a matter of routine, works out its plans and programmes it
wishes to adopt for the next five years to ensure that all the requisite
requirements of resources, infrastructure etc. are in place with
implementation taken up on schedule. The perspective plan addresses the
issues as under:
i. Vision and Mission: These provide for the baseline to be built upon
in choice of the courses based on market trends and demands. Inter-
disciplinary and multi-disciplinary courses are with end in view.
Part-time courses were started with the objective of addressing the
demands of the working professionals for career advancements in
their basic or allied areas.
ii. Teaching learning: The need of ICT cannot be overemphasized as
a tool for overcoming some of the constraints the education sector is
afflicted with. One such constraint that is to be addressed is to use
long-distance communication for interactive teaching programmes.
iii. Research and development: Without research teaching-learning
process may fail in the process of absorption of the technological
changes taking place on the global scale to prevent the present
system failing redundancy.
iv. Community engagement: Corporate houses are increasingly
becoming aware of the needs to work with the community for which
the students need to be apprised of the issues involved as
responsible citizens assigned with the responsibilities as members of
such corporate houses.
v. Human resource plans: Development and effective utilisation of
the human resource is imperative in design and development of the
plans and programmes of the University. While internal strengths
have to be augmented the sector has to ensure that their resources
are made available to industry and business for improving upon
their performances and developing skills in line with the changing
technological developments.
vi. Industry interaction: Without such an interaction students cannot
attain proficiency in application of knowledge they gain while in
campus. Industry visits, internship etc. provide them with the
144
needed support to enable them to visualize the problems they can be
called upon to face. Industries, on their part, help the University in
formulation of curricular changes both for studies as well as
research.
vii. Internationalization: In these days of industrial development the
platform for such development has transgressed geographical
boundaries in view of faster communication channels. One has,
thus, to view every action in the global context to be effective in
their actions and not be left to be overtaken by obsolescence.
6.2.2 Describe the university’s internal organizational structure and
decision making processes and their effectiveness.

effective in terms of both time and costs. Actions taken by the University
in the area are through:
i. Authority-resonsibilty balance through appropriate delegation of
authority for all responsibility centres.
ii. Adequate infrastructure to be made available and maintain
ensuring high utilization.
iii. Development and use of softwares to cut down on time for
different activities.
iv. High stress in use of ICT to ensure all processes to be
145
accomplished with speed and ensuring adequate transparency.
6.2.3 Does the university have a formal policy to ensure quality? How is it
designed, driven, deployed and reviewed?

Assurance Cell has also been established in the University to oversee
every aspect of quality in all facets of the activities involved, both
administrative as well as academic.
To ensure that such quality aspects are effectively addressed the
University believes that external agencies assigned with the
responsibility of maintaining standards of quality education are also
involved in these activities. The agencies available are National
Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and National Board of
Accreditation (NBA). Application through Letter of Intent has been
made with NAAC action is in hand. In case of NBA eight UG courses
have already been accredited by NBA application for five courses of

which is an autonomous body under the aegis of Department of Science
& Technology, Government of India, and is registered under the
Societies Act.
6.2.4 Does the university encourage its academic departments to function
independently and autonomously and how does it ensure
accountability?
Adequate authority has been delegated to the Chairpersons of the
teaching department to meet their day-to-day requirements. For
expenditure requiring expenditure beyond their power they have to
submit their proposals for approval, which is subjected to prior audit
with estimated expenditure exceeding that specified. For purchase of
materials etc. necessary proposals, on approval of the competent

options, these programmes conducted through weekend classes enable a
very large geographical area to be covered enabling them to attend the
classes. The programmes conducted include degree courses for diploma
holders and PG courses in basic or allied subjects for ensuring wider job
options for the professionals.
3. The Context
Under the urban environment it is not difficult to conduct such part-time
programmes in the evenings but utility/ suitability is under question for the
reason that the professionals put in more than eight hours of the day on
their normal jobs and taking into the travel woes the effective contact-time
available for the programmes is short though they have the advantage of
communication services being available. The University with its location
under rural environments does offer some problems for the students by the
advantage of higher contact hours with sufficient gap between their normal
duties and the classes provides them a break assuring less fatigue.
4. The Practice
As indicated above the programme is a unique on account of its suitability
to the interests of all the stakeholders. The advantages of such a scheme
are:
155
i. Normally working professionals rarely conform to the 9-5
timeframe and have sometimes to spend more time, sometimes,
exceeding 10 hours. Conduct of such programmes through evening
classes cannot deliver the needed exposure.
ii. Under urban conditions such programmes are conducted but the
travel time limits the scope for participation of working
professionals to undertake such programmes.
iii. Weekend programmes in a residential university does not pose a
serious problem because a long gap that becomes available to the
professionals and with most offices closed on the weekends there is
no serious breaks in the job responsibilities which much transgress
the normal 9-5 timeframe.
iv. Utilisation of the infrastructure is better. Library facilities are
extensively available to both students and faculty members for a
longer period of time.
v. High contact hours without any internship training provides to them
an opportunity of excelling even to the regular students because of a
very strong practical base of the ground realities of the job
transgressing purely technical skill developomental needs with their
on-the-job, providing to them man-management skill as well.
vi. Faculty and the laboratory support is more than that which can
become available for the part-time courses conducted through
evening part-time programmes.
vii. Under some circumstances the female students, through
accommodation provided in the hostels, better opportunities become
available to them compared to the amenities available under urban
locales.
viii. Constraints and limitations that the University had to face were for
getting the courses and programmes approved merely on the ground,
such programmes do not fit into AICTE format which is “part-time”
programme against conduct of the programmes by the University as
“weekend” programmes.
ix. Response is very good from the students despite these programmes
being conducted on self-financing basis. 5. Evidence of Success
Response from the community and the professionals is very good in view
156
of:
i. Professionals being free of tensions of the day’s work and the work
they may have to postpone on the days they attend classes through
evening programmes.
ii. The professionals are both physically and mentally relaxed because
they have their offices closed on the weekend.
iii. The programmes can take the shape of community programmes with
provisions for breaks based on the job responsibility of the
professionals particularly where such professionals have seasonal
jobs.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Problems arise where the students coming from far off places need some
accommodation where they can have better contact with their classmates as
well as the faculty members in case some dormitory type accommodation
is provided to them within the campus.
Presentation of Best Practice (ii):
1. Title of the Practice
Nurturing consultancy services by the faculty.
2. Objectives of the Practice
Objective of starting the practice is to enrich the teaching-learning process
as well as to ensure higher degree of motivation among the faculty
members to be involved in such research to form an integral part of their
job responsibilities.
3. The Context
University is established in an area where extensive industrial estates have
been developed with a very wide format of industrial, business and even
educational enterprises which offer ample scope for the faculty to move
into and render services covering all the areas of studies being conducted
by the University. At present 15 consultancy projects are in different stages
of implementation by different faculty members of predominantly three
departments namely, Management Studies, Architecture and Civil
Engineering. With encouraging response other departments are also
157
expected to move ahead in their fields.
4. The Practice
With response from the different agencies being favourable other
departments are gearing up for start of such services. The problems of
technological developments have a tendency to increase the scope of
obsolescene in both the skill requirement for the workforce but also the
management techniques which can be met through increased involvement
in the technological and managerial fields. University is on the lookout for
developing the managerial skills of the technical personnel with this object
in view for development of an integral format for providing such services
to the industry and business corporate as well as government agencies to
ensure that their practices are made more effective and approach more
integrated.
5. Evidence of Success
Response from Government has been encouraging and supported by
adequate marketing of the achievements it is expected that industry/
business may even involve the University in their R&D jobs with
expansion of the facilties in the different departments.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Industrial and business houses are averse to disclosure of the secrets of
their operations with a view to ensure their status as market big wigs. It is
hoped that marketing efforts and other areas of their concern will be
appropriately addressed to inspite mutual confidence and to work as a team
rather than move in diverse directions.
