The first step to curriculum design and development is the articulation of programme

objective which leads to the evolution of a Programme Structure that includes all the

courses to be taught in the programme.

SELF STUDY REPORT


Objectives and course outcomes of each course unit define the depth and breadth of each

course, which leads us to decide what the course contents should be and the pedagogy to

be adopted. The internal assessment and evaluation methodology is decided keeping in

mind the parameters to be measured and the desired emphasis during the delivery of a

programme.

The curricular design and model adopted for the various engineering courses as

prescribed by the affiliating university includes foundation courses, core courses, and

electives covering the different knowledge segments, including Sciences, Humanities,

Cultural Education, etc. This model has evolved after perusing the curricula of reputed

institutions in India and abroad. In each programme structure, the importance of each

course unit is defined in terms of credit units attached to it. The credit units attached to

each course are defined by the affiliating university, students are also required to work in

terms of library, self-study, work on project and term paper etc. which is ensured by the

faculty by giving appropriate assignments and by following appropriate evaluation

scheme.

All the academic programs although developed by the university are in line and tune

with the regional and national goals. In the curricula development process, the staff of

the affiliated colleges are closely associated and play a prominent role. To identify the

gaps with the requirements of both industry and society, technical experts drawn from

industry and society are included in the Advisory committee of each department.

Advisory committee gives suggestions on the courses which need to be added to bridge

the gap.

Further, the students of the college are encouraged to participate in various programs

like clean & green and plantation programs, blood donation programmes, AIDS

awareness programmes organized by the students. In order to have value orientation and

to increase the career opportunities the students are trained in pre-placement training and

soft skill programs. The computer based courses have all the technical exposure to ICT

within the curriculum, while students admitted in other courses have C programming

included as a part of their lab work. It may be stated here that the students of RSET are

groomed to stand in the competitive global market in their respective fields and this

is evident from the track record of their placements in several MNCs at home and abroad.

Regular feedback of all the stake holders such as the employers, alumni, parents, students

reports are taken into consideration to assess the extent to which the Programme

Objectives are met. The important bodies of the institute such as governing body, IQAC

2.2 Catering to Diverse Needs of Students

2.2.1 How does the institution cater to the needs of differently-abled students and ensure

adherence to government policies in this regard?

The institution completely adheres to governmental policies regarding the needs of

differently-abled students.

The approach adopted by the institution to cater the needs of differently-abled students

is specific to each individual as per their requirements. Class in-charge and Associate

class in-charge take care of their specific needs and mentor them whenever in need.

SELF STUDY REPORT


Mentors assigned to these students will ensure that their academic needs as well as

social and emotional needs are catered.

Special Counselling sessions and extra lectures are also arranged for such category of

minutes extra time in the university and internal examinations.

2.2.2 Does the institution assess the students‟ needs in terms of knowledge and skills

before the commencement of the programme? If „yes‟, give details on the process.

The qualifying marks and the overall ranking in the merit list of the student gives an

idea about the knowledge of the student, which is known as entry level analysis.

An interaction session is organized for the students along with their parents with the

Heads of the Departments (HOD‟s) and senior faculty to assess their needs and to give

them a deeper insight of the respective B.Tech programmes. An opening session- named

Deeksharambham is organized by the institution at the beginning of every academic

year for the freshers and their parents. In the session, speakers including chief guest,

principal, HODs will highlight the importance of the professional courses, course

schedule, curriculum coverage, examination pattern and semester system, assessment

2.2.3. What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge the

knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with the

programme of their choice? (Bridge/Remedial/ Add-on/Enrichment

Courses, etc.)

The faculty members assigned to the first year classes interact formally and

informally with the students for the first week so as to concentrate on these

programmes to train the students in the basics before commencing the regular

subject teaching. Assigned Class teachers and Associate Class Teachers will

monitor, interact, guide and help them to cope with the program of their choice. In

the first year, students are given special training to improve their English Language

and Communication skills. In addition to the class In-charges, Mentors assigned to

these students .provide personal, academic and social counselling and take special

care to monitor, guide and help them improve their skills.

The institution offers bridge courses mainly before the start of the third semester

SELF STUDY REPORT


where they enter into their specialised programs. As students from Bio-Maths

stream also enter into engineering program, bridge courses for C programming are

offered to help them bridge this gap .Bridge courses are also offered on Electronics

and Basic Electronics Lab.

Based on the students internal and university marks, classroom performance,

participation in curricular and extra-curricular activities, regularity in submission of

assignments, and personal interactions, students may be identified as slow or

advanced learners. Remedial classes and extra lectures are organized for these slow

learners so that they can cope up with the rate of the other students. Special tutorial

sessions and assignments are organized in all departments. The institution provides

attention to both the slow and advanced learners. Advanced learners are further

motivated by encouraging them to do micro and mini projects and recognizing

their effort by means of awards and scholarships. Students in the institution are

encouraged to participate in national and international conferences and technical

fests and symposia.

2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as gender,

inclusion, environment etc.?

This institution with a mission to inculcate high degree of social consciousness and

human values, sensitizes its staff and students on issues such as gender inclusion and

environment. Due representation for ladies is given in all the committees constituted in

the institution. Every year, International Women‟s Day is celebrated in the institution

and talks and awareness programs are conducted in this context. To provide for the

effective enforcement of the basic human right of gender equality and guarantee against

sexual harassment and abuse, RSET had constituted a Women‟s Grievance Redressal

Committee (WGRC) in 2009. Later this was renamed as the Complaints Committee

against Sexual Harassment (CCASH) to make its purpose more explicit. The services of

this committee can be availed of by all female students as well as teaching and non-

teaching staff of the college. The committee has as its priorities the following

objectives:

1. Prevention of sexual harassment

2. Redressal of any complaints of sexual harassment

3. Organization of talks/workshops on issues which are pertinent to women welfare

and empowerment

The campus offers separate hostel facilities for boys and girls with resident wardens to

academic performance (through the programme duration) of the students at risk

of drop out (students from the disadvantaged sections of society, physically

challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc.)?

Academic performance of the students from the disadvantaged sections of society,

physically challenged, slow learners, economically weaker sections etc. is continuously

monitored by the subject teachers, class in-charges and assigned mentor. Class

Performance, internal marks and previous university marks are the criterion used to

identify slow learners. These students who find it difficult to cope with the pace of

teachers and other students during normal classes are advised and counselled by the

faculty members and the Head of the department. These students are given special

remedial classes, extra assignments and are motivated by providing additional

learning material such as text books and make them solve previous exam question

papers. Our institution encourages peer group learning/ if required, Student Welfare

Officer offers counseling to students on their personal and academic problems.

Table 2.2.1: Drop out percentage for last four academic years

In our institution, it is noteworthy that there have been less than 1.01% dropouts in UG

SELF STUDY REPORT


and less than 2.22% in PG in the last few years as the institute has a sound system of

identifying such students and counseling and mentoring them.

A batch of 20 students is assigned to a faculty mentor / counselor. The mentor acts as a

Proctor / counsellor and is responsible for the holistic development and welfare of the 20

students. Students are counselled periodically, fortnight / month, about their academic

performance, financial problem, hostel problems and other personal problems. This

process of continuous evaluation provides a feedback which helps the mentors and the

students to review and enhance their academic performance and behaviour.

Student‟s progress report is sent to the parents / Guardians after every internal exam

conducted by the college and are called for an open house to inform them about their

ward‟s performance. Class in-charges and mentor maintains this record for both internal

and university exams for all the semesters and intimates the parents on a regular basis.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process 2.3.1 How does the college plan and organise the teaching, learning and

evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue print,

etc.)

The Teaching Learning process is the most important dimension of any academic system

Our institution plans and organises the teaching, learning and evaluation process to

ensure that the respective program outcomes are achieved. This framework helps the

faculty members as well as the students to plan their lectures, research activities and

other extracurricular activities and extension services to achieve the intended learning

outcomes.

This institution understands the scope of technology in education and views technology

integration from a wider perspective. As an important part of teaching learning process,

technology integration is considered in detail along with the issues involved in teaching

and learning like developing learning objectives, selecting methods of instruction,

feedback, and evaluation and assessment strategies including follow-up activities.

The College publishes an academic calendar including both B.Tech and M.Tech

programmes as issued by the MG University. The recent academic calendar is enclosed

in annexure. Before the start of each semester, the academic calendar along with the

semester plan is distributed to every student and faculty in the institution. This helps the

teaching and non-teaching faculty and students to organise the lectures and other

Being an institution affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam,

Kerala, it follows the academic schedule as published by the university. Generally the

MG University gives guidelines on the following,

Beginning and the last working day of the next academic semester.

Stipulated schedule for Theory and Practical examination.

Vacation schedule.

Before the start of each semester, faculty in charges handling various courses prepares a

course plan for their subject considering the semester plan and the academic calendar.

This course plan is continuously updated as the faculty progresses through the course.

Series, model and comprehensive exams are scheduled in the academic plan which also

specifies the last dates for mark entry in the college website. Considering the academic

plan, the institution also organizes college level and national level tech fests, national

and international conferences, seminars, guest-lectures, symposium, technical fests,

sports day, cultural fest, industrial visit etc. and their probable dates are planned in the

semester plan.

All faculty members record and update the attendance and a brief summary of the topic

taught in each class in their attendance registers regularly. The attendance is updated in

RSMS (Online student management system) immediately so that it is visible to all

concerned. Every faculty updates the CIS ( Course Information Sheet) of his/her course

before the start of the semester and circulates this to the students to give them an idea

about the syllabus, course objectives, course outcomes, references etc.

Each department assigns a Time Table committee which prepares the time table for

every B.Tech and M.Tech class after discussion with the other department committees

in case of inter department courses. The committee convenor supervises all the

department time table committees. The college also has a central exam committee

having one representative from each department supervised by an exam committee

convenor. This committee prepares the internal exam time tables and coordinates the

smooth conduct of all internal and university examinations.

Each course in the B.Tech and M.Tech programmes, is evaluated both internally (by the

institution itself) and externally (by the affiliating MG university). Out of a total of 150

marks, 100 marks is awarded by the university examinations and the 50 marks is awarded

by the institution on the basis of their series and model examination results.

The internal marks for each course in B.tech is awarded based on the following scheme:

Series Examination 15 marks

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching –learning process?

As a measure to promote holistic academic excellence, our institution had set up IQAC

(Internal Quality Assurance Cell) to achieve quality enhancement and sustenance. This

cell has been documenting all the programmes/activities leading to quality

improvement.Initially IQAC developed a set of quality benchmarks/parameters for

various academic and administrative activities of the institution. The institution takes

regular feedback responses from students, parents and other stakeholders on quality-

related institutional processes and analyses them. IQAC has been conducting regular

audits in all departments by elected committees to ensure that quality is being sustained

and the audit report was submitted to the convenor. Based on all the analysis, IQAC has

been preparing AQAR (Annual Quality Assurance Report) every year as per guidelines

and parameters of NAAC.

2.3.3 How is learning made more student-centric? Give details on the support

structures and systems available for teachers to develop skills like interactive

learning, collaborative learning and independent learning among the students?

Our institution takes sincere efforts to promote student centric learning either through

active learning (students answer and solve problems, formulate own questions , discuss

and debate about them), cooperative learning , in which students work in teams on

problems and projects under conditions that assure both positive interdependence and

individual accountability and inductive teaching and learning, in which students are

first presented with challenges (questions or problems) and learn the course material in

the context of addressing the challenges.

All the above learning methods are promoted to engage students as active, involved

SELF STUDY REPORT


participants in their own education field and encourage them to use and apply

knowledge. The core goals are to motivate and interest students and to foster critical

thinking skills that employ active rather than passive engagement in the classroom.

Active methods seek to engage students directly and actively with the course content

by moving away from memorization of facts delivered unilaterally through a lecture

format to a dynamic learning environment that facilitates deeper understanding and the

ability to use knowledge beyond the classroom. The role of the faculty becomes that of a

facilitator rather than an instructor, and the relationship with the student becomes more

like a partnership whose mutual goal is student growth and learning. Active learning

methods adopted by the faculty include tutorials, assignments and projects. Collaborative and cooperative learning methods emphasize the benefits to students of

working directly with peers in small heterogenous groups to engage with and material,

solve problems and learn in a communal, supportive environment. They purposefully

seek to reduce the amount of competition between students.

.

The various strategies adopted by the institution to ensure learning process to be student

centric are:

1. The teacher emphasizes on Presentations and group discussions to ensure

maximum participation and to make the discussions entertaining.

2. Assignments prompt the students to apply their knowledge and tutorial

sessions help the teachers, interact with the students and probe questions at the

right moment to prompt them into thinking deeper thus making learning more

student centric.

3. Organisation of industrial visits and visit to institutes of higher education and

research.

4. The course hand-outs and the laboratory manuals provided to the students

contains assignments, tutorial questions, sample questions, open ended and

advanced experiments that encourages the students to apply their knowledge

and think deeper about a problem/concept.

5. The institution has a well-equipped library provided with latest edition of books

and a digital library that includes links to various sites of academic interest,

Public domain materials like Conference Papers, Electronic Theses and

dissertations, Technical Reports, FAQ‟s and electronic books, Video lectures

procured from NPTEL and C – DEEP IIT Bombay, E-Journal Packages

SELF STUDY REPORT


including IEEE/IET E electronic Library, ASCE, Elsevier Science Direct,

ASTM , ASME, Springer etc. This helps the students to move forward with the

learning process.

6. National level symposiums in all departments provide a platform for the

students to acquire additional knowledge apart from regular class teaching.

More over the students themselves organize and participate in various technical

events. These programs are fully “student-centric” and they nurture their

organizational and management skills apart from enriching their technical

knowledge.

7. Organization of college level and national level symposium and technical fests

involving active participation of the students promotes student centred learning.

8. Student enrichment Programs conducted by students coordinated by the staff

along with placement training and orientation courses provides a platform for

students to participate in Group Discussions, Debates and Seminars. The emphasis is on helping the students to acquire critical thinking, interpersonal

communication skill, listening, problem solving, knowledge management skill, and

team work and group interaction all of which motivate the students towards lifelong

learning.

2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific

temper among the students to transform them into life-long learners and

innovators?

The institution with a vision to evolve into a premier technological and research

institution, moulding eminent professionals with creative minds, innovative ideas

and sound practical skill, takes conscious efforts in the academic and allied

activities of the institution to nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific

temper among the students. To sow scientific temper through critical thinking and

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 H o w does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution

especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes? The evaluation process is clearly defined as per AICTE and MG University norms and

made transparent by the institution to the stakeholders of the institution including

faculty, students and their parents. The evaluation process and the general instructions

mentioned in the prospectus of the institution are explained to the students and their

parents at the opening session of their fresher course named Deeksharambham. The

periodic instructions issued by MG University are promptly communicated to the

students. The students are individually provided with copies of the university

syllabus which includes the detailed evaluation procedure. Before the start of each

semester, students are provided with the semester plan which clearly marks the dates

internal and model exams. After each exam, the faculty completes the evaluation on or

before declared date. Parents are informed about their ward‟s performance after every

internal examination. Open house is conducted so that the parents can personally meet

the faculty and interact with them about the student‟s performance. This makes them

aware of the criterion of the internal assessment and eligibility criterion to appear in the

final examinations. As evaluation is the integral part of teaching learning process, the

institution takes special care to make it transparent by displaying the student‟s

attendance and marks with clear division So, the institution makes effective

arrangements for the smooth application of the rules about the evaluation

processes. The college has developed Rajagiri Student Management System (RSMS) to

manage the details of every student and faculty which can also be accessed by their

parents. 2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the institution

has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its own? The institution affiliated to MG University completely adheres to its norms and

guidelines. The whole evaluation process is totally transparent and unbiased. Internal

evaluation carried out by the institution consists of a series and a model examination.

Considering their total marks, submitted assignments and attendance percentage their

internal marks are consolidated to total of 50 marks.

SELF STUDY REPORT


The internal marks for each course is awarded based on the following scheme:




Attendance 10 marks

Total 50 marks

For the external examinations with total marks of 100, students are allotted with roll

numbers by the MG University. The internal evaluation is conducted for theory subjects

on basis of descriptive, objective tests and assignments.

The university has initiated various evaluation reforms viz.

1. Introduction of internal assessment system.

2. Introduction of multilevel evaluation of answer scripts for external examinations in

case of request for recounting or revaluation

3. Introduction of seating plan for internal and external examinations as per the guide

lines of the affiliating university .(i.e., not more than 30 students must be invigilated

by a single invigilator)

Practical examinations are internally evaluated by continuous assessment and model

examinations and the external evaluation is conducted by an external examiner appointed

by the MG University. Mini project and Main project evaluation, course viva etc. are also

evaluated based on the University evaluation scheme.

The reforms initiated by the institution include:

Institution has developed a student management system that helps in

tabulation of internal marks.

The Institution also encourages innovative methodologies for evaluation

including Open Book Examinations, lab simulation exercises etc.

SELF STUDY REPORT


2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation

reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own? The evaluation process clearly defined as per AICTE and MG University norms are

effectively implemented and made transparent by the institution to the stakeholders of

the institution including faculty, students and their parents. The evaluation process and

the general instructions mentioned in the prospectus of the institution are explained to

the students and their parents. The students are individually provided with copies of

the university syllabus which includes the detailed evaluation procedure. Before the

start of each semester, students are provided with the semester plan which clearly marks

the dates internal and model exams. They are also provided course hand-outs before the

start of each semester which includes the syllabus, Course Information Sheet, tutorial

and assignment question set. The exam committee appointed by the institution

effectively conducts the internal and university examinations as per the evaluation

reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution on its own. The institution

has a question paper scrutiny committee which also seta the format for each question

paper. After each exam, the faculty completes the evaluation on or before declared date.

Parents are informed about their ward‟s performance after every internal examination.

Each student‟s attendance for every subject can be easily viewed in the Rajagiri Student

Management System. Open house is conducted so that the parents can personally meet

the faculty and interact with them about the student‟s performance. This makes them

aware of the criterion of the internal assessment and eligibility criterion to appear in the

final examinations.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative evaluation approaches

adapted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have

positively impacted the system.

University is the sole authority for implementation of reforms in examination and

evaluation but faculty members who are a part of academic bodies of the university

actively campaign for reforms. Even then for bringing about a positive change in the

evaluation practices, the institution adopts both formative and summative methods of

evaluation.

The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning and to provide ongoing

feedback that can be used by the faculty to improve their teaching and by students to

improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments help students identify

their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work and help faculty

recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately.

SELF STUDY REPORT


The most important steps taken by the institution towards formative evaluation process

is the introduction of assignments and tutorial sessions in their schedule. This gives an

opportunity for the teachers to interact more with students and can directly get a

feedback to identify the target areas to be worked upon. Each tutorial session is handled

by more than one faculty which helps the faculty to concentrate on lesser number of

students and pay more attention to struggling students as personal interaction is more.

Other formative approaches adopted by the institution include seminars, group

assignments, group discussions and presentations. The concerned teacher may get

information about the student and necessary steps regarding his/her improvement can

be pondered over.

Summative evaluation involves making judgments about the efficacy of a program or

course at its conclusion. This assessment that occurs at the end of the program cycle

provides an overall description of the program effectiveness. Summative evaluation

mainly includes the internal exams conducted by the college for theory as well as

practical courses. Course Outcome Feedback conducted at the end of each semester is a

method of summative evaluation which gives us an idea about the attainment of the

program and course outcomes and the overall impact of the program. It also indicates

the need of improvement and further modification of the overall program structure, and

the resources needed to address the program‟s weakness. Faculty feedback by the

students is another summative method adopted by the institution.

2.5.5. Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and transparency in

the internal assessment during the last four years and weightages assigned for the

overall development of students (weightage for behavioral aspects, independent

learning, communication skills etc.

The evaluation of the student is based on the continuous assessment. The structure for

evaluation is as follows.

1. The performance of a candidate in a course will be assessed for a maximum of

150 marks as explained below : Internal Assessment marks - 50

External Assessment marks - 100

SELF STUDY REPORT


2. The internal marks are set by the faculty in charge based on the series and model

examinations, submitted assignments and attendance percentage and the external

marks are based on the exams conducted by the university. The internal marks for each course is awarded based on the following scheme:




Attendance 10 marks

Total 50 marks The outline for Series and Model Examinations as part of the continuous assessment

will be informed to the students in advance. Last dates for completion of evaluation

will be declared by the principal and the marks are entered into Rajagiri Student

Management System on or before the date. The answer scripts are returned to the

students and the copies/ originals of the best, average and worst marks are filed. End semester examinations of three hours duration for each course shall be conducted

by the MG University for each course.

For practical examinations, the internal marks are set based on continuous assessment ,

Record submission, Attendance and a model lab examination .For the external

evaluation, exams are conducted by an internal examiner belonging to this institution

and an external examiner appointed by the MG University. A candidate will be assessed

on the basis of concept/knowledge, skill, viva and final output and his/her performance

will be consolidated to 100.

A candidate‟s performance is a sum of all three components and shall be for a

maximum of 100 marks.

In case of project evaluation, right from the initial stages of defining the problem, the

candidate conducts regular discussions with the guide and has to submit the progress

reports periodically and also present the progress in the form of presentations before

the project evaluation council. The final presentations will be evaluated by the project

in-charges, guide and the HOD.

Parents are informed about their ward‟s performance after every internal examination.

Open house is conducted so that the parents can personally meet the faculty and interact

SELF STUDY REPORT


with them about the student‟s performance. This makes them aware of the criterion of

the internal assessment and eligibility criterion to appear in the final examinations. As

evaluation is the integral part of teaching learning process, the institution takes special

care to make the internal assessment transparent by displaying the student‟s attendance

and marks with clear division 2.5.6 What are the graduate attributes specified by the college/ affiliating university?

How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the students?

Graduate Attributes specified by the affiliating university are listed below:

i. Engineering Knowledge

ii. Problem Analysis

iii. Design & Development of Solutions

iv. Investigation of Complex Problem

v. Modern Tools Usage

vi. Engineer and Society

vii. Environment & Sustainability

viii. Ethics

ix. Individual & Team work

x. Communication

xi. Lifelong Learning

xii. Project management & Finance

Program Educational Objectives (PEO‟s) are established by taking Vision and

Mission of the institution as a basis to interact with various stakeholders, keeping in

view these Graduate Attributes. Each Programme Curriculum and administrative

system contributes towards the attainment of PEOs. The institution also undertakes

co-curricular activities such as short-term add-on courses, workshops, conferences,

seminars, guest lectures and student project exhibition towards the attainment of

PEOs. If the PEO‟s are met, the institution can assess the extent to which Graduate

Attributes are attained.

Program Outcomes describe what students are expected to know or be able to do by

the time of graduation from the program. PO‟s are established through consultation

process with the stake holders keeping these Graduate attributes as basis. The

program outcomes are achieved through curriculum that offers a number of

mandatory courses as well as elective courses. Each course has defined course

outcomes that are mapped to the program outcomes and a set of performance criteria

that are used to provide quantitative measurement of how well course outcomes are

SELF STUDY REPORT


achieved. The courses are thus directly and quantitatively assessed, and are tied to

the program outcomes. Therefore if the course outcomes are met, the program

outcomes are met which effectively leads to the attainment of Graduate Attributes.

.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to

evaluation both at the college and University level?

The college has a well-structured and transparent mechanism for redressal of

grievances with reference to evaluation both at college and university level. After

every internal examination the faculty completes his/her valuation within a declared

date and the marks are entered in the RSMS and teacher‟s personal register. Thus it

becomes transparent to students, parents and other faculty in the institution. Any

complaints/ grievances regarding the evaluation process can be presented before the

faculty handling the course and if found genuine, the necessary changes are made.

Internal marks once calculated will be displayed in RSMS as well as all notice boards

for a few days. Grievance, if any, may be presented before the faculty in charge or the

Class in charge. Sincere effort is made from the part of the faculty to solve the

problem. Students can also approach the Head of the Department in case of

grievances.

In case of grievances regarding external evaluation by MG University, students will

have to give their papers for re-evaluation and a re-evaluation fee will be charged. The

result will be announced within a specified interval and new mark list will be issued.

MG University has a „Vice Chancellor‟s Grievance Cell‟ 2.6 Student performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If „yes‟ give details on

how the students and staff are made aware of these?

YES.

Expected learning outcomes refer to specific knowledge, practical skills, areas of

professional development, attitudes, higher-order thinking skills, etc. that the institution

expect its stakeholders to develop, learn, or master during a course. When the main goals

for a course are articulated, we need to see whether students have achieved them, and

then use the results to make our courses better.

SELF STUDY REPORT


As this institution has already appeared for NBA accreditation process for our 5 UG

Engineering programs, it was mandatory to Define, assess and evaluate these learning

outcomes for every program offered by the institution and are named as Program

Outcomes. In each program, the students and the faculty are made aware of the

learning outcomes for each course which is clearly indicated in the curriculum provided

to the students. Results of Assessment of program outcomes, are used to evaluate the

effectiveness of academic programs and activities, and student services.

Program Outcomes for each Program are established through the consultation process

with the stake holders keeping the Graduate Attributes to be attained as basis.

Department Vision, Mission and Program Educational Objectives are also kept in view.

The professional society‟s guidelines on curriculum and graduate outcomes are also

considered.

The Program Outcomes are published at

Department webpage of every department in the institution website

eg: http://rajagiritech.ac.in/Home/ECE/index.asp

Curriculum books

Notice boards

Apart from this, Program outcomes are made reachable to all the stakeholders of the

program through education, faculty workshops, student awareness workshops, student

induction programs and faculty meetings.

2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the

progress and performance of students through the duration of the

course/programme? Provide an analysis of the students results/achievements

(Programme/course wise for last four years) and explain the differences if any

and patterns of achievement across the programmes/courses offered. The institution conducts two series examinations and a model examination for First year

courses and one series examination and a model examination during one semester for

other semesters. For a particular course, series examination includes part of their

syllabus and model examination includes the whole syllabus. The faculty evaluates the

students based on these two tests and the submitted assignments. Marks are entered into

the Rajagiri Student Management System (RSMS) thus making it transparent to the

student, other faculty and parents. The parents are also informed through letters, SMS

and even telephonically (for academically weak students). The student‟s performance is

closely monitored by their respective c l as s i n char ges and faculty mentors. The

http://rajagiritech.ac.in/Home/ECE/index.asp

mentors interact with the students and records it in their record book. They also interact

with the concerned faculty to conduct special assignments, tests and make them solve

previous question papers. The record of the whole evaluation process is transparent.

The answer books are returned to the students and copies/original of the best, average

and worst answer scripts are filed. The student‟s class attendance is also made

transparent to the student, parents and other faculty through RSMS.

The evaluation of the student is based on the continuous assessment. The structure for

evaluation is as follows.

1. The performance of a candidate in a course will be assessed for a maximum of

150 marks as explained below : Internal Assessment marks - 50

below.

SELF STUDY REPORT


Figure 2.6: Assessment of program outcomes

Assessment is carried out yearly. Assessment Tools used are:

1. Direct Assessment Tools

a) Home Assignment-Each and every student is assigned with course related tasks

during every course work once or twice and assessment will be done based on

their performance. Grades are assigned depending on their innovation in

solving/deriving the problems.

b) Assignment - The assignment is a qualitative performance assessment tool

designed to assess students' knowledge of engineering practices, framework,

and problem solving. An analytic rubric was developed to assess student‟s

knowledge with respect to the learning outcomes associated with the scenario

tool.

c) Online Examination- Online Examination System is a Multiple Choice

Questions (MCQ) based examination system that provides an easy to use

environment for both Test Conductors and Students appearing for Examination.

d) Sessional - This type of performance assessment is carried out during the

examination sessions which are held twice a semester. Each and every sessional

is focused on attaining the course outcomes.

SELF STUDY REPORT


e) Semester End Examination-Semester End examination is a metric for assessing

whether all the POs are attained or not. Examination is more focused on

attainment of course outcomes and program outcomes using a descriptive exam

.

2. Indirect Assessment Tools

a) Program level statistics - At the end of every academic year annual report is

developed where the statistics of students who have participated in professional

bodies / student chapters / workshops / seminars / conferences / paper

presentations / internships / industry visit etc. is prepared. This statement is

considered to indirectly assess the PO‟s.

b) Survey reports - Indirect assessment strategies may be easily implemented by

embedding them in the end-of-course evaluation form, Alumni Survey and

Employer Survey.

After assessment, the collected data are analysed and adopts the following steps to

overcome the barrier which hinder PO achievement:

Assignments , Extra Lectures and Tutorial sessions are conducted

For the better attainment of PO‟s, each Department Advisory Committee

identifies the gaps in the syllabus considering the flow of the subject with

the syllabus and the recent trends in technology.

a) Measures to bridge the course level gaps include:

1. Addition of few topics beyond the syllabus to the courses.

2. Conduction of new experiments in the labs

b) Measures to bridge program level gaps include:

1. Addition of few add-on topics to the courses as and when needed.

2. Organization of Guest Lectures, Quizzes, Group Discussions,

Industrial tours, Seminars and Workshops to supplement student

learning for industry readiness.

3. Organization of Communication and Character improvement

programmers to improve the soft skills for achieving placements in

reputed companies.

4. Organization of short term industry oriented courses by Continuing

Education Cell & the respective department.

SELF STUDY REPORT


2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning outcomes?

The program outcomes defined for each Program are achieved through curriculum that

offers a number of mandatory courses as well as elective courses. Each course has

defined course outcomes that are mapped to the program outcomes and a set of

performance criteria that are used to provide quantitative measurement of how well

course outcomes are achieved. After running the programme as per the above curriculum,

the Assessment Committee assesses the attainment of PEOs and reports to the

Department Advisory Committee. The Program Educational Objectives are established

through meetings of an advisory committee consisting of student representatives, alumni

representatives, and representatives of industry, HOD, members of faculty and employer

representatives.

Towards the attainment of PO‟s , different course delivery methods/modes are adopted

by the faculty including content delivery methods like Lecture interspersed with

discussions, Lecture with a quiz, Tutorial, Demonstration ( Such as model, laboratory,

field visit ), Group Discussion, Group Assignment/ Project and Presentations. In addition

to the syllabus mentioned in the curriculum, the students are exposed themselves as they

are provided with the e-content through national and international portals such as:

Organization of Communication and Character improvement programmers to

improve the soft skills achieving placements in reputed companies.

Organization of short term industry oriented courses by Continuing Education Cell &

the respective department.

2.6.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/ evaluation

outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement of

learning objectives and planning? If „yes‟ provide details on the process and cite

a few examples.

For every course included in the Program, the faculty handling the course defines a set of

course outcomes describing what the students are expected to know after learning each

course. Course outcomes are oriented towards achieving the respective program

outcomes.

While handling a course, every faculty enters a set of Course Outcome feedback

questionnaire online and after the end of the respective semester, each student

attempts/evaluates the set of questions entered by the faculty thus providing a measure of

achievement of course outcomes.

Online course outcome assessment report is generated and sent to the respective faculty

and Head of the Department. The report is evaluated by the HOD and results are

discussed in the Staff Department meetings. Necessary steps to improve and maintain a

good Feedback is discussed and formulated and are implemented in the following

semester. Steps taken are oriented towards achieving the course outcomes thereby

achieving the program outcomes.

The process of assessment of each course is based on several assessment tools as detailed

the date of last incident. An inquiry will be conducted soon afterwards and during the

pendency of the inquiry the aggrieved woman will be provided with all the necessary

support as deemed fit for the situation on her request. According to the Supreme court

management. The Main objective of RSMS is to provide an easy way to automate

all functionalities of the institution, thus reducing human effort and paper work.

RSMS focuses on excellent coordination between faculty, parents and students to

keep track of the day-to-day activities such as attendance management, internal

assessment management, reports generation.

RSET provides information about staff and students through the website:

www.rajagiritech.ac.in

3. The Context

Enhanced interaction among the different stakeholders of the institution for

various types of education management related service, operations and high level

of efficiency in recording and information dissemination is the context which

necessitates RSMS.

RSMS is designed and implemented with the following features:

Semi-automation of operations accessible from anywhere in the world.

Client side installation not necessary

Security based on active directory

Centrally stored information with zero redundancy

Best possible resource optimization.

Enhanced interaction with teachers, parents and students

Freedom to browse through library books catalogue and to find the circulation

status of the book(s).

Prior information about university events and holidays

The effectiveness of RSMS is measured based on the overall benefits to the

Management, Faculty, Parents and Students.

4. The Practice

The features of RSMS together create a blended learning environment, easy data

access and effective communication for students and teachers alike.

The following are some of the highlighting features of RSMS:

RSET Event management, Accreditation management

Stock management, Office management-report generation

Complaint register, Faculty-Suggestions / Grievances

SELF STUDY REPORT


Hostel automation-Fee collection, Room allocation and Attendance

Information about Academic activities- Semester plan, Course plan -execution

and status

Student related services: Academic and Personal information, Attendance

management, Sessional marks, Student Feedback-Course & Faculty.

Faculty related services: Personal information, Faculty attendance, On-line

leave application, Salary-particulars, Exam-duty submission and swapping,

Self-appraisal, Faculty Feedback, Course feedback

Access to GYAN-the institutional repository facilities and Library-OPAC.

1. The RSMS allows getting information about all the details of a student like

personal, academic etc.

2. The attendance marking and calculating system in RSMS is very user

friendly.

3. The online leave submission, duty leave submission, medical leave

submission and their corresponding approvals are decentralized.

4. The late attendance entry, internal assessment correction/ deletion go through

automated hierarchical approvals.

5. The attendance and the internal marks are transparent and can be viewed by

students, parents, teachers and HOD‟s.

6. Once a data is corrected correspondingly all the reports are updated.

7. Uniformity in assessment as the system is transparent.

5. Evidence of Success

Paper forms for various day-to-day affairs within the institution are stacking over

years. Accounting ledgers filling file space on shelves. Difficulty in timely

monitoring of student performance and delay in implementing remedial measures

due to manual approach .Teachers and staff waiting to have their salary and

service records updated. This slow pace processing environment makes any

college out of step with the smart and dynamic world outside.

The RSMS in RSET is a semi- automated system that fulfils most of the needs in

an education institution. This helps the institution to function smoothly, reduce

human error and handle critical tasks intelligently.

After introducing RSMS, the following improvements have been observed:

Timely planning ,execution and monitoring of academic activities of students and

faculty

SELF STUDY REPORT


Structured monitoring has imbibed in student‟s good code of conduct which

reflects in improvement of their attendance percentage and academic

performance.

Ease of access to student details and monitoring helps faculty to improve their

rapport with students.

Enhancement in time management of faculty in resource handling.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

As the college is affiliated to the university, any change in regulations necessitates

change in RSMS coding but the problem encountered is manageable within a

particular timeframe.

Problem in accessing the database, when network is down.

When data files get corrupted, the entire management system gets collapsed.

Compatibility with new set of software is a problem.
