EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

THE SWOC ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTE

Aryan Institute of Engineering and Technology (AIET), a self-financing,

co-educational engineering institution , affiliated to Biju Pattnaik University of

Technology, Rourkela, Odisha is situated at Vill. - Barakuda , P.O – Panchagaon,

Distt. – Khordha, just 10 km away from Biju Pattanaik International Airport,

Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Established under the Aryan Educational Trust in the year

2009, the Institute is spreading its wings in providing quality engineering

education at affordable costs to all sections of society. The institute is an equal

employment opportunity provider. The institute also consciously promotes

employment opportunity for the educated and unemployed youth in the locality.

Started with four branches of under graduate courses in engineering at the

time of its inception, the institute has now grown multidisciplinary with six

B.Tech and one M.Tech courses in a sprawling serene campus with many

developments in infrastructure, faculty resources, library, laboratory, sporting and

other entertainment facilities. The institute has a clear vision for upgrading its

quality of delivery mechanism to attain market-based academic excellence in the

field of technical education and to become at least one of the front running

institutes of the state in ten years.

Decisions taken in the advisory committee and the staff council meetings are

communicated to different stakeholders through various means viz. through

notices on the notice board and other important documents. In fact, the action

plans are initiated as per these decisions which are reflected afterwards in

individual follow up materials. The following mechanisms are specifically

adopted to carry out the vision, mission and objectives messages to the

stakeholders:

Communicated to the stakeholders during Orientation Programmes,

Annual Reports , Admission Brochures, Parent-Teacher Meetings etc.

Seminars and workshops are conducted for faculty members, students and

parents emphasizing the role of the Institution in achieving its objectives.

The vision and mission statements are also displayed at all important

places in the campus as well as in the website of the institute.

1.1.2 How does the institution develop and deploy action plans for effective

implementation of the curriculum ? Give details of the process and

substantiate through specific examples.

The college meticulously develops action plans for effective implementation

of its curriculum. At the outset, the advisory committee of the college conducts

protracted meetings with department heads and other senior faculty members to

develop institutional strategies for effective implementation of the curriculum.

Well ahead of an academic session, an Academic Council meeting is convened

and teachers are given choice about the selection of specific papers for teaching in

the ensuing semester. They are asked to carefully prepare their Lesson Plans and

submit them before the Dean, Academics. Teachers are given autonomy and

encouraged beforehand to cover the curriculum through innovative teaching

methods/practices such as presentations, assignments, discussions, workshops,

seminars, industrial visits, education through ICT apart from regular/traditional

teaching methods. They are required to attend Course Progress Meetings held


once every week for each department being chaired by the Principal. All efforts

are sincerely made to ensure smooth progress of the curriculum throughout.

At the beginning of each semester, all the faculty members are required to

submit an Academic Planner (Lesson Plan) on their allotted papers which

is duly verified by their respective HODs.

Academic Diary (Lesson Progress Report) is maintained for each

semester. This diary is maintained by every faculty and verified by HOD

from time to time.

Monitoring of overall academic progress is done by Dean, Academics.

Feedback is collected by the Principal in Weekly Review Meetings with

each department and appropriate measures are taken to rectify the system

and make it more functional.

1.1.3 What type of support (Procedural and practical) do the teacher receive

(from the university/institution) for effectively translating the curriculum

and improving the teaching practices.

Our curriculum is prepared by Biju Pattnaik University of Technology

(BPUT), Rourkela, Odisha, to which our institute is affiliated. The curriculum is

well transacted to the students after serious preparation using critical thought by

the teachers concerned. To be more effective in their roles, the teachers need

always to be in tune with the latest trends and developments in their respective

fields. The University conducts Seminars, Workshops, Training Programs and

Refresher Courses to meet the developmental needs of teachers. The University

sometimes convenes meetings by inviting different stakeholders to participate and

give opinions and suggestions on particular matters including Curriculum and

Academics..

At our institute level, our own management provides all kinds of

necessary support to teachers by providing them teaching materials and aids as

per their individual needs. The institute also conducts in-house training

programmes (Faculty Development Programmes) for the faculty by internal as

well as external experts based on particular requirements. Also the institute


organizes training programmes at departmental levels before the commencement

of a semester. Experienced and senior teachers of every department provide

technical, mental and emotional support to their younger counterparts and act as

mentors in their allround grooming.

1.1.4. Specify the initiatives taken up or contribution made by the institution

for effective curriculum delivery and transaction on the curriculum provided

by the affiliating university or other statutory agency.

For effective curriculum delivery and transaction, the steps are taken :

1. All the faculty members are asked to do their Lesson Plans in a specific

format and prepare their Lecture Notes accordingly.

2. All the Lecture Notes are available in hard as well as soft form for the

students.

3. Monitored sequentially by H.O.Ds, Dean, Academic, The Principal in

weekly Review Meetings

4. Deviations are inquired , Corrective Actions are taken

5. Arrangements are made for Extra Classes, Tutorials, Remedial Classes

6. Arrangement for students mentoring & grievance reddressal forum.

1.1.5 How does the institution network and interact with beneficiaries such as

industry, research bodies and university in effective operation of the

curriculum?

For imparting quality education, our institute is in regular touch with the

Industry, R&D and other Academic Institutions. Our institute conducts frequent

seminars, workshops etc attended by people from academia, research bodies and

industries. They share their experience on emerging areas of research, syllabus-

structure based on market requirements. Industrial visits are conducted every year.

Invited talks are also organised by experts from reputed organizations. Some of

our faculty members do their research under professors of different reputed

organisations. Based on these various sources of information, our principal and

other senior faculty members give their suggestions in the board of studies.


1.1.6. What are the contribution of the institution and/or its staff members to

the development of curriculum by the university ? (number of staff

members/departments represented on the board of studies, student feedback

teacher feedback, stakeholder feedback provided, specific suggestion etc.)

Our principal is a member of the Board of Studies and our institute

supports the development of the curriculum through suggestions offered by him

during the BOS meetings. Though the institute faces a few constraints to modify

the syllabus on its own, yet the affiliating university has a system in place to get

recommendations from its affiliated colleges through Board of Studies. Large

number of faculties represent the academic bodies of the BPUT, Odisha who

regularly participate in the process of syllabus design. The members of the faculty

brainstorm and discuss amongst themselves the relevance of the syllabus designed

by the affiliating university. While recommending or forwarding the suggestions

to the Board of Studies our teachers normally take into consideration the students’

feedback as well as point of views of other faculty members of various

departments.

1.1.7 Does the institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered

(other than those under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If yes,

give details on the process (Needs Assessment, design, development and

planning) and the courses for which the curriculum has been developed.

Yes. Apart from our regular B.Tech courses we provide some other short-term

courses as per the market needs and demand of students for enhancing their

competency for better placement opportunities.

1.1.8 How does the institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of

curriculum are achieved in the course of implementation?

The institute collects course completion feedback from the students after

completion of the syllabus by the faculties for a particular semester. There, the

effective completion of syllabus are analyzed through students feedback reports.

If required teachers are asked to take extra classes for adequate course coverage.

Again exam results are analyzed to understand the degree of theoretical

understanding, Placement records of our students and feedback from their


employers are also collected and analyzed to ascertain the accomplishment of

organizational stated objectives. Students drawing laurels to the institution in

different state and national level competitions also provide a vital clue to our

success in fulfilling our stated objectives.

basis. The leadership skills are sharpened through job rotation, promotion, putting

employees as members in different permanent and temporary committees where

they are given and required to handle higher responsibility and teamwork.

The management always encourages and supports the involvement of

the staff in different institution-building activities. Similarly students are also

developed, driven, deployed and reviewed?

Our institute has formed an IQA Cell, which prepares a roadmap for taking up

quality initiatives for attainment of specific standards. A number of mechanisms

have been evolved to translate quality to its various units in the college. The

standpoint plans and policies are geared up by the Academic Council based on the

activities suggested by various departments for a particular calendar year.Various

quality parameters evolve out of the end-user (students,their parents,employers

providing jobs to these students) perspective.These parameters and perspectives

are taken into cognizance by the management and quality initiatives are

developed. These initiatives are given concrete shape by our formal body called

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC).These are driven and deployed by

respective departments or units under recommendations and guidance from the

cell.IQAC is the recommending and monitoring body where specific action plans

and programmes are executed by units concerned.Ultimately the quality policies

are reviewed by the IQAC and also by the top management

6.2.2 - Does the Institute have a perspective plan for development? If so, give

the aspects considered for inclusion in the plan.

In order to formulate the strategy of development and deployment, committees are

constituted for each and every developmental work. All the program coordinators

generate prospective plans involving their faculty collegues and send them to the

Principal for further action. Thus the strength is enhanced, weakness/areas for

improvements are identified, the opportunities are evaluated and efforts are made

to fulfil the challenges.

Teaching and Learning:

The institute has developed its own teaching strategy to promote value

based qualitative technical education in order to increase competency levels of

students and to stand at par with top-notch institutes bridging up the gap between

theory and practice. The college has it’s own mechanism for evaluating the

teaching staff which is, although continuous, but formally done at the end of each

academic year. The most potent method adopted here is through student feedback.

The HODs study such feedbacks about the teachers of their department and

discuss the matter with the staff for their improvements. The non-teaching staff

members are evaluated informally and corrective measures are implemented in

consultation with the Principal. Soon after a student is admitted, the institute

makes provision for assessing his knowledge and skills for particular

programmes. Other than the lecture method of teaching, group discussion, field

studies, debates, tutorials, seminars, study tours etc. are adopted for proper

understanding of the subjects. The college has well experienced faculty members.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years

which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

In pursuit of excellence in all spheres, the institute strives for continuous

innovation in quality assurance with respect to academic programmes and

administration. Some of the mechanisms adopted are:

Academic System

internal examination. The attendance of students is closely monitored

and informed to parents twice in a semester. The parents are also

informed about the absence of their wards in the class through SMS.


v) Students’ feedback are collected, analyzed and communicated to all

faculty members twice in a semester. The faculty members with poor

feedback are counseled by Principal and Dean, Academics.

vi) Performance of teachers are reviewed based on feedback and pass

percentage of students at university examinations.

vii) Remedial classes, bridge courses are systemically planned and

executed to make up for slow learners.

viii) Experts from reputed institutions and industry are invited for

delivering guest lectures.

ix) Incentives are extended to faculty members for carrying out research

and publishing papers/participating in Seminars and/or Conferences.

Administrative system:

Our administrative measures for ensuring quality assurance are:

i) The academic administration is controlled by Principal through

Deans and different committees constituted for specific purpose

ii) Dean Academics in association with HODs assure quality based

teaching and learning process

iii) Departmental activities like guest lectures, industrial visits etc. are

Some other innovative practices which have been followed since the

last four years are listed below :

Learning Materials:

Our faculty members prepare study materials for their subjects assigned in their

own handwriting and submit them with the library module-wise prior to the

starting of the classes. These are prepared following the University Syllabus with

the help of different text books, reference materials and other sources. The

learning materials are given to the students after the completion of each module.

The institute appreciates the faculty members whose study materials are widely

accepted by the students. This practice ensures the quality of the study materials.

On-line Learning Resources:

The institute has subscribed some on-line learning materials for students and

faculty in the library to augment their learning from conventional sources. Before

the start of an academic session, the mapping and up gradation of course materials

are done by the faculty members according to the university syllabus. During the

delivery of actual lessons, the faculty members use them and encourage the

students to refer the contents, solve on-line assignments and quizzes.

Our faculty members also take the help of NPTEL e-learning materials through

online web and video courses in Engineering, Science and Humanities streams.


They have downloaded a number of video lectures by professors of top colleges

on relevant course contents and use them for teaching learning. These are

available in institutional intranet for easy access by students and the faculty.

Students often go through the NPTEL videos during the library / seminar periods

and after normal class hours. Faculty members and students also use other free

and paid websites available through internet (LAN & wi-fi).

Student Mentoring System:

Proctorial System

The institute has a well-defined students’ mentoring (proctorial) system

known as proctorial System to provide academic, psycho-social support and

guidance services to the students. A faculty mentor called Proctor understands the

importance of critical disciplinary issues, keeps record of important facts and

analyze overall performance of every student and subsequently interacts with their

parents at regular intervals. Necessary guidance in studies and career related

counseling are provided by the individual Proctors. Students share their personal

problems, discuss failures and seek a road map to career success. A Proctor also

assesses whether the student is making optimal use of the available extracurricular

activities, personality development programs and professional courses offered by

the institute and encourages them to take advantage of the available.

Training on Communication:

The institution has designed special courses which exclusively addresses students’

professional communication skill development. The students with poor

communication skill are identified in the first year and persuaded to undergo such

courses in order to enhance their employability potential. They are made to

understand its importance and take conscious attempts to improve. Experts on the

field are also invited to help them.

Pre-placement Training Programme

The students in the second and third year undergo training on the aptitude,

reasoning, verbal ability etc. by experts from different institutes and industries.

They are also persuaded to improve their competency levels (Knowledge, Skill,

Attitude) through various technical and behavioral training modules. We provide

technical training in areas like Oracle, Java, programming in C, Auto CAD etc.

Such value added programmes are conducted in the institute by inviting external

experts. Subsequently the final year students are provided intensive training on

GD & PI techniques to successfully meet their placement needs. The students are

also provided with customized training based on their requirements to succeed in

placement drives of specific companies.

where possible. Efforts are made to make classes attractive and lively by

asking and answering personal questions involving the topic at the end.

Different methods of delivery are adopted suitably for different classes.

Thought provoking questions are given to the students to be answered in

the next class.

iv) Although this forms the standard method of delivery of lectures in general,

teachers are also given autonomy regarding incorporation of any other

innovative method as per their choice subject to standard course outcomes

decided in the academic council.

v) Teachers are encouraged to use modern tools e.g. PPT method etc. where

they feel necessary.

vi) For better grasp of the subject, students are subjected to multifarious

interventions like Assignments, Quiz, Presentations, in-house Projects etc.


vii) A healthy practice of taking learning outside the precincts of class rooms

is maintained. Teachers maintain close informal relationship with their

students and discuss about subject related matters outside class rooms

utilizing leisure time. Students feel free to come and meet their teachers

regarding understanding difficult points.

viii) Remedial and tutorial classes are also conducted on regular basis for better

learning of slow learners.

ix) Teachers set examples in creating a learning culture by engaging

themselves in a variety of intellectual activities outsides the class rooms.

x) Our efforts are well augmented by some other practices viz. seminars,

workshops, industrial visits, guest lectures by experts etc.

xi) Punctuality regarding class timings are meticulously maintained. The

Dean, Academics makes rounds everyday in the corridor where classes are

taken to ensure this. Our Principal also directly supervises over the smooth

and timely running of classes.

xii) The academic related information such as class attendance, class test,

laboratory test and university results are updated regularly by the

concerned faculty members for monitoring the academic progress of the

students.

xiii) The student-parent-mentor interaction information under Proctorial

System is made available with our management system, which facilitates

better teaching- learning process.

xiv) The Library Management System module under institutional information

system make ease for searching, issuing, returning the text books,

magazines, journals, periodicals.

5. Evidence of Success:

On the basis of various reports generated through our Internal Management

System we come about our success in the following ways :

i) Students’ pass percentage in internal as well as University exams

ii) Employment profile of our passed out students

iii) Success achieved by our students in entrepreneurial roles

iv) Success in attracting good number of students for admission among

contemporary institutes

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required :

Our main problem lies in the area of our input (student) quality and external

funding support. Given the socio-economic background of our students,

sometimes it gets difficult to develop them beyond certain limits. We require

more time and other financial resources to develop our intellectual efforts in

having more tie ups with top notch institutes and industry and other professional

associations, conducting more National seminars, Personality Development

Courses etc.

7. Concluding Notes:

We want to accredit ourselves through agencies like NAAC, NBA etc. so

that we can get better access to external funding support to enhance our efforts.


BEST PRACTICE – 2

1. Topic: Academic Support and Management

2. Goal:

i) To provide adequate support to the academic efforts made by the institute

with the help of relevant resources (laboratories, libraries, industry-

interface, academic administration etc.)

ii) To achieve better coordination amongst various departments and promote

exposure to upcoming technologies (through seminars, workshops, expert

lectures by internal and external academicians / industrialists and through

industrial visits)

iii) To supplement the knowledge base on prevalent cutting edge technologies

by imparting value added courses in collaboration with external

professional organizations.

3. The Context:

i) For our endeavors toward a sound teaching-learning process it is well

understood that a compatible support system and well-orchestrated

management practices are necessary. In this regard the institute is

providing its highest efforts towards building up of good infra-support in

terms of continuous library and laboratory maintenance and upgradation ,

provision of adequate number of good class rooms, seminar and

conference halls etc. with modern equipments.

ii) Sound academic administration is also essential for the same. Our

management puts utmost emphasis on sound management practices on

academic administration by formulating, executing and monitoring the

system through modern practices.

4. The Practice:

The following healthy practices are maintained for providing good

support to the academic efforts :

i) The HODs of departments are empowered to send their proposals

regarding procurement of new lab equipments to the principal. The

principal is empowered to decide for purchase of the same if the cost is

below 5 lac. If the cost exceeds the said amount, then it has to be passed

by the governing council at the earliest. HODs have the financial authority

for repair and maintenance works for repair and maintenance of materials

and equipment of their departments. Faculties, Support staffs are

responsible for bringing notice regarding purchase or maintenance.

Students can also put their demands through proper channels. Clear time

frames are set for repair and maintenance works. Minor repair and

maintenance works are to be carried out immediately by relevant

technicians

ii) Before one month of the beginning of an academic session, individual

faculties are given specific formats to give their request for purchase of

new books in their respective areas. After verification of stock position

and discussion with the individual faculties, HODs give their


endorsements to these consignments and new books are purchased within

thirty days of the initial request.

iii) Regarding incorporating specific training courses/programmes for specific

branches HODs bring the matter to the principal and they jointly decide

about the same. If the cost goes beyond Rs.5 lac it has to be ratified by the

governing body.

iv) Regarding departmental seminars, workshops, industrial visits, talks by

eminent persons etc. clear planning is done before the starting of the

academic session and individual faculty members are assigned the

responsibility and necessary funds and other resources in accordance with

the overall academic plan of the institute.

v) For meeting out extra ordinary and urgent needs, a contingency fund is

maintained at the departmental level . Sometimes faculties and students

voluntarily contribute toward the conduct of development programmes

meant for them

vi) At hard times, students and faculty members are also supported by the

institute in different ways.

vii) Academic support is also provided to special learning groups through

Tutorial, Extra and Remedial classes

viii) Individualised support is also provided through counseling in mentoring

systems

5. Evidence of Success:

i) Smooth progress of academic processes with less number of class drops

and completion of courses within the stipulated period

ii) Good pass percentage of internal as well as university exams

iii) Good morale and motivation of student and staff with zero cases of

conflicts and disputes

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required :

As the institute is self-financing , sometimes financial hurdles are encountered for

providing better support systems which are generally costly. In this respect bigger

size fund support is essential which may be partly solved with some support of

various Govt. bodies after our accreditation is over

7. Concluding Notes

The institute has clearly understood the importance of an well established

academic support and management system and accordingly has tried its level best

to incorporate it to strengthen its teaching-learning process.

32. Details on student enrichment program (special lectures / workshops

/ seminar) with external experts.

Special lectures in Java Programming & Software Engineering were arranged

by the subject experts as mentioned below

Prof .S.Nanda, College of Engg. , BBSR

Prof .S.Pattanaik SOA , BBSR.


Teachers adopt simple language (even sometimes using vernacular

medium) with real life examples to make the topic easily understandable.

Assignments are given for better grasp of the subject matter. Attempts are

made to encourage students to be inquisitive and interactive. Special book

references and hand outs are also given to serve as learning aids.

Sometimes students are advised to go through specific websites for extra

and flexible learning.

Our academic plan mandates a guideline for all teachers to complete

courses in specific stipulated time horizon using Lecture Plans. Teachers

are also asked to take extra classes wherever necessary. Tutorial and

Remedial classes are also used for clearing doubts. Students are put to

more practice sessions in several ways.

Apart from the curriculum of the University, we have combined the

multimedia teaching methodology with old practice of chalk and talk

method in the class room. In the class room we declare the course

component to be taught in the next class. We encourage our students to

come prepared to the class.

Students are also required to do their laboratory work according to the

academic plans. Facilities are also created for students to work on live

projects.

We start with the questions related to the course component, declared in

the previous class.

experts as mentioned below

Apart from the curriculum of the University, we have combined the

multimedia teaching methodology with old practice of chalk and talk

method in the class room. In the class room we declare the course


component to be taught in the next class. We encourage our students to

come prepared to the class.

We start with the questions related to the course component, declared in

the previous class.

We emphasize learning as a solution to producing graduates who are

creative; think critically and analytically, to solve problems without stress.

Since traditional approaches do not encourage students to question what

they have learnt or to associate with previously acquired knowledge,

problem-based learning is an innovative measure to encourage students to

learn how to learn via real-life problems.

Remedial Classes, Proctorial classes & Extra-Mural Classes are held for

slow learners. They are taken care separately by the faculty members to

uplift them to an average level.

Advanced learners are separately taught by senior, experienced faculty

members for different exams and higher studies.

In sum ,the following methods are adopted to improve student learning :


Class quizzes

3. Educational and Socio-economic background of students

4. Being a non-core department, it becomes extremely difficult to

arrange funds from sponsorships etc. Then the department has to

rely always on its own internal funding sources for its

developmental activities.

Opportunities :

1. A large number of National Institutes in the state (viz.IIT ,NISER ,IIM,

AIIMS etc) provide for an easy source of availability of expert

professionals.

2. Growing importance of some non-core areas in B.Tech courses making it

gradually more interdisciplinary.

3. New generation industries (e.g IT, e-commerce etc) requiring degree

engineers with better soft-skills and personality aspects etc. are elevating

the status of this department infusing into it more professionalism.

4. Presence of a number of similar institutes in the state increases their

interface and sometimes promotes common endeavors aimed at some

common goals.

Challenges :

1. Presence of a large number of similar institutes in the state and the resulting

stiff competition amongst them has also a flipside. The intake quality of

students are gradually getting average to poor and their placement in good

companies are getting difficult. Here comes the extra challenge for this

department to build up their fundamentals and groom up their personality.

2. The cost of availing the services of eminent scientists and other professionals

are fast rising in proportion to student fees collected.

3. Sometimes it gets difficult to retain talented faculties in basic sciences as the

trend is against the teaching profession.

4. The shrinking IT-intakes also pose a challenge for the importance of more

soft-skill development.


Future Plans

There is always an important role to be played by the Department of Basic

Science and Humanities. We understand the importance of our role of acting as

the spinal chord of engineering education and want to bolster our arm despite our

weaknesses and challenges in the following ways :

1. To hold at least one national seminar

2. To hold monthly internal seminars for faculties and students

3. To subscribe some international journals

4. To go for departmental tie-ups with reputed institutions and industry.

5. To invite more Scientists and other professionals for better student interface.
