Criterion 2.3

\QlM

• Right from the time of admission, faculty members monitor academic performance and counsel the students regarding their performance, apart from regular teaching. 
• The practice of giving assignments and their evaluation and assigning project modules focused to the improvement in competent performance is strictly followed. 
• Faculty members guide the students in their final year projects which are assigned from 2nd year & monitor their progress regarding the same on a monthly basis. 
• Selected projects are also encouraged for submission in different international conferences organized by the institute & the presented papers are published in the conference proceedings.

Experiential learning & Participative learning:

• Frequent visits to different industries (at least 6 per year) are arranged for the students so that they can observe the process taking place in industries. This provides more clarity on the concepts and techniques which they learn in the class rooms and also bridges the gap between academia and industry. 
• Special training programs such as Computer training, Personality development, Spoken English classes (at least once in a month) are organized where industry experts and alumni are invited to address the students to keep them industry ready. 
• Students are encouraged to take up Industry related projects under the supervision of the teacher/mentor & selected projects are also encouraged for submission in different competitions. 
• To give better exposure to industries the college has entered into MOUs with different organizations (Industry, Universities, research institute, students’ chapters). The College adopts different methods of teaching like interactive discussion based, project based and seminars in addition to the normal lecture method, depending upon the nature of the content of instruction.

Problem solving methodologies:

• Project-based learning is mostly used for self-learning to improve the learning ability of students and to reinforce knowledge received during the lecture. 
• Students are asked to prepare 320 mini projects(for all the labs in the  curriculum per semester)  which are mandatory in addition to their regular lab assignments with a clear concept of the principles learned. Being a technical institute, this method is extensively used to provide practical evidence of the theory learned. This enhances the problem-solving skill of the students. 
• The teacher guides the students at various stages of developing the project, further giving timely inputs during the preparation of the project work. Every 3months the students have to report their work progress to their respective mentors.
• To motivate the students for higher studies, research and government jobs & to enhance their practical problem-solving ability, special training programs are organized every week as SDP, ESP, General studies, Gate classes (80 classes) for competitive exams and higher studies which are included in the routine. 
• The institute organizes more than 30 conferences and encourages the students to submit research in those conferences which eventually help them in placement as well as higher studies.
