2. INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL (IDP)

(Implementation period: April 2017- March 2020)

2.1 Executive Summary of the IDP

Institutions of technical education have an obligation to be responsive to changing social needs.

They have mammoth challenge of creating an environment for producing good quality students

with ample job opportunities. This development proposal is in line with changing scenario of

engineering education worldwide. It is an effort in bridging the gap between what is available

and what is required to be able to produce good quality students. The University will thus be able

to contribute to the task of nation building much more effectively

The University was part of the TEQIP Phase-I and Phase-II. From the description on Baseline

data presented in section 1 and academic excellence, it is quite evident that the university has

made significant progress in terms of basic infrastructure, UG laboratories, library, computing

and networking facilities as a result of TEQIP Phase-I and Phase-II. Further the research

facilities and resulting output have also improved. However, some of the postgraduate programes

(M.Tech) and research level (PhD) especially in branches of engineering and technology requires

further strengthening. The university intends to strengthen these programmes by TEQIP Phase-

III.

The following proposals/initiatives have been identified:

a) Starting new programmes and increase in intake.

b) Scaling up PG education and augmentation of doctaral level studies

c) Enhancement of facilities for demand driven technological research and development

d) The industry oriented research

e) Implementation of a well defined and time bound plan of cooperation with the networked

institutions / industries

f) Improvement in trasition rate and pass rate

g) financial assistanceships/Scholorships

h) State-of-the-art laboratory

i) Increasing focus in interdisciplinary research and collaborative academic activities

j) UG and PG research projects will be on industrial problems


k) Equity assurance

l) Pedagogical training and comprehensive faculty development program

m) Faculty/Staff/Student development

n) Upgradation of knowledge and skill of technical and non technical human resource.

o) Facilitating research and development

p) To establish more Centers of Excellence

q) Improving administrative and management system

r) Students participation in national and international academic events

s) Improvement of research base and

t) Community development through outreach activities and transfer / dissemination of

knowledge/information/technology leading to better awareness in order to achieve a

healthy quality of life

2.2 Provide an action plan with timelines for

(a) Improving the learning outcomes of the students

1. Faculty training (qualification up gradation, subject up gradation & research

competence, Pedagogical training, participation in conferences,

seminars/workshops etc.)

Faculty is an important stake holder in an educational institution. They need continuous

qualification up gradation, subject upgradation, enhancement in their research

competency through pedagogical training, participation in conferences,

seminars/workshops etc.

The action plan for faculty training of this university is as follows:

3. Increasing capacity of UG, PG and PhD education (increasing enrollment and

starting new UG, PG and PhD programmes)

This institution has become university since 1st Sep 2016. The university is empowered

by its act to increase capacity of UG, PG asnd Ph.D. programmes. This university has

made its action made for increase in capacity for various courses and commencement of

new courses, which is pending for approval by its executive council.


4. Investing in smart classrooms, campus Wi-Fi (24*7 broadband connectivity and

Wi-Fi access in all academic and administrative buildings and hostels (with a

minimum of 2 MBPS speed for each connection)), e-library etc.

The university has sufficient infrastructure, but it needs renovation and refurbishment.

The university has some e- class rooms and LAN connectivity for internet at present.

Library up gradation has also been planned.

The action plan for Investment in smart classrooms, campus Wi-Fi and e-library is as

follows:

5. Improving the academic performance of SC/ST/OBC/academically weak students

through innovative methods, such as remedial and skill development classes, peer

assisted learning for increasing the transition rate, non cognitive skills and pass

rate

The most important stake holders of an educational institution are students. The students

in this university come from various levels and classes of society. The university from

time to time organizes various activities for improving the transition rate and pass rate.

The university also organises fininshing schools, remedial classes, skill development

classes etc for its students.

The action plan for such activities of this university is as follows:

6. Instituting academic and non-academic reforms including programme flexibility

(Is there any need to revise the curriculum? When it was last revised?)

With the changing phase of globalization there is lot of obsolescence in the labs and

course curriculum. Hence, there is urgent need for the modernization and strengthening

of the existing facilities to cope up the phase of globalization.

The university reforms its academic and non-academic domains from time to time.

Curriculum revision has been done from time to time for which there are various bodies

like Board od Studies, Academic committee, Academic Council and Executive Council.

Curriculum was last revised in June 2016.

(b) Improving employability of the students

7. Increasing interaction with industry (What are the industries located in the

vicinity? What role of industry is perceived for the institute?)

To develop linkage with other education institutes, industries and other user agencies

through multiplicity of programme including consultancy, these interactions are

necessary. Industry-Institute interactive programmes ensure mutual benefits including

employability for students, revenue generation for the institution, and Commercial

activities. There are several leather industries around Kanpur, besides Kanpur is an

industrial city considered to be the Manchester of east.

This University has very close interaction with Industry. Many MoUs and EoIs have been

signede with insdustry. For enhancing interaction with industry, the university organises

expert lectures, panel discuission, seminars, conference, workshops, conclave etc.
