PREFACE

The Cybernetics of Pedagogic execution, with all its allotropes, get channelized through many an effervescent strategy. It is an irrefutable fact that academic endeavours can be considered to be fructified when they amount to moulding the potential human resources into skilled manpower that participates in the productive activities, in turn, contributing to the overall development of the nation. The educational scenario of the nation has been subjected to swift changes. It may not be an exaggeration to state that every passing day heralds a development, if not an upheaval. In every society, there have been attempts to organize the body of existing knowledge, to perceive the natural and also scientific phenomena not merely with awe and reverence but with inductive and deductive logic, reasoning and experimentation so as to understand various occurrences in an enlightened manner. It is to be noted that technological advancement has always been innovative and explorative. Some men of such mettle who have assimilated the essence of educational philosophy established an educational empire SIDDHARTHA ACADEMY OF GENEREAL & TECHNIAL EDUCATION has been undertaking a ceaseless endeavours to intellectually drive the learners hither and yon to scale great academic heights in various spheres of education. Many a pioneering venture of the academy speak volumes for the untiring efforts and relentless endeavours towards realizing the educational goals. In the process, Siddhartha Academy has achieved a harmonious commingling of education, philanthropy and culture. The vision of the academy is realized in the fact that the roots are firm in primary education and branches are spread far and wide at higher education making for a meaningful mixture of the soil and globe providing the rich opportunities for the rightly trained and well groomed professionals competing for their deserving placements all over the globe. The academy with its alumni has found a place on the map of the educational world. SIDDHARTHA ACADEMY… THE CREST JEWEL Away from the ceaseless hustle and bustle of the trading yards, the incessant passage of trains at the noted railway junction and the majestic, yet noisy rush of Krishna waters through the spillways of the Prakasam barrage, some of the best minds of the region nurtured a mission ………a mission to make the region educationally enriched and technically advanced. Their vibrant vision culminated in the establishment of Siddhartha Academy. SIDDHARTHA ACADEMY OF GENEREAL & TECHNIAL EDUCATION had been formed in 1975 by a team of 250 philanthropists with a vision for future to set up and promote such educational institutions of excellence that would reorient general, technical and professional education with a holistic approach. Assimilating the advances made in various areas of activity and considering the educational needs of the region, many institutions dealing with various academic disciplines have been started.

Consultancy is limited to few Departments – Civil, Electrical & Mechanical Financial restraints due to constrained fees of un – aided private Engineering colleges to set up the state – of – art facilities for PG and R & D & I. Faculty development and Continuing education programmes need a boost. Limited Accessibility to explosive on – line information. Collaboration with premier research institutions is in formative stage. Constraints to depute faculty under QIP for higher studies due to limited financial resources. Inadequate funds for inter-disciplinary research.

OPPORTUNITES: Wide range of upcoming new specialized research areas / technologies

of interest to college. Innumerable existing technologies to be explored / harnessed. Being an agro – centric region, huge scope / potential to develop agro

based technologies / machinery / processes



Growing student demand in specialized and employment driven areas like Telematics, Thermal Engineering , Control systems etc.

Increasing IT activity through STPP’s being set up. An improved research environment can be foreseen as large number of

faculty are pursuing Ph.D and M.Tech programmes. Wide scope for collaboration with Indian and foreign research

institutes/ universities / organizations. Business Incubators in collaboration with local industries are yet to be

initiated. Strong alumni base with persons working in industries, Government

and abroad willing to extend support in Industry institute interaction Placements Faculty Development Financial support to deserving students.

CONSTRAINTS Mushrooming of new engineering colleges in the state leading to

Migration of experienced faculty Reduction in input quality of students.

Entry and overly publicizing foreign educational institutions Rapid development in technology in the fields like IT, Electronics,

Nano – Technology resulting in obsolescence of facilities. Increased opportunities in IT enabled services affecting core areas.

Criterion VI: Governance, Leadership and Management 6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership 6.1.1 State the vision and mission of the College.

To nurture excellence in various fields of engineering by imparting timeless core values to the learners and to mould the institution into a centre of academic excellence and advanced research.

VISION

To impart high Quality technical education in order to mould the learners into globally competitive technocrats who are professionally deft, intellectually adept and socially responsible. The Institution strives to make the learners inculcate and imbibe pragmatic perception and pro-active nature so as to enable them to acquire a vision for exploration and an insight for advanced enquiry.

MISSION

6.1.2 Does the mission statement define the College’s distinctive characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of the society, the students it seeks to serve, College’s traditions and value orientations, vision for the future, etc.?

The college is located in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh which is culturally and intellectually rich. The vision and mission statements are in line or tune with the intellectual potential and needs of this region. Most of the students seeking higher education in this college are from rural areas. There has been discernible change in quality of life since the establishment of VR Siddhartha Engineering College in this area.

The college developed its mission statement which is not only comprehensive but also realistic. The Mission statement stands as the quintessence of the educational philosophy nurtured by the college in addition to presenting its commitment to being pragmatic as far as its academic goals are concerned which are enshrined in its Vision.

The mission statement puts forward three significant characteristics that the students would acquire by undergoing the teaching-learning process offered by the curriculum. The following analysis presents a harmonious commingling of values, modernity and global perspective of the mission statement

• The institution’s motive is to mould the learners into globally competitive technocrats The college would like to elevate the citizens of the region to

become globally competitive technocrats The primary mission of the college is to tap the potential and to

create opportunities for the rural and semi-urban youth of the region to become technocrats who can serve at the global level.

While recognizing the fact that merely possessing knowledge is of no avail, the college clearly represents that its programmes make the students withstand the stiff competition at the transnational technical environment



• Defining Specific characteristics of the prospective technocrats Professionally deft: The College does not just believe in

theoretical learning. The scale of dexterity whether in developing a design or in executing it decides the quality and professional standing of a technocrat. The college believes in training its products being deft in their respective specializations

Intellectually adept: The College encourages the students to have broadened intellectual horizons by offering various opportunities for them to perceive the technical and semi-technical phenomena from a higher pedestal.

Socially responsible: The College envisages a better tomorrow for the nation by making its students imbibe a spirit of responsive nature towards social developments.

• A Vision for exploration and an Insight for advanced enquiry Pragmatic Perception and Proactive nature : The mission

statement clearly indicates that the institution strives to make the students inculcate and imbibe two of the most significant soft skills which can enable any conscientious learner to develop considerable level of proficiency in energizing the faculties of cognition, namely, Pragmatic perception and Pro-active nature.

Enabling the learners: The College does not just merely educate the learners by offering formulae, but enables them to conquer the realms of academic heights by acquiring a vision for exploration and an insight for advanced enquiry.

Beyond the routine: The College would like to make its students develop a spirit of not confining themselves to beaten track, stereotyped and oft-experimented items. But, it wants the students and faculty to undertake advance enquiry.

Values being upheld:

The mission statement of the college crystallizes the spirit of the institution in positive terms by stating the kind of professionals needed for the society. The founding fathers of the institution want to continue the rich traditions established by them and the sterling virtues to be up held forever.

6.1.3 How is the leadership involved in • ensuring the organization’s management system development,

implementation and continuous improvement • interaction with stakeholders • reinforcing culture of excellence • Identifying needs and championing organizational development

7.1 Environment Consciousness 7.1.1 Does the College conduct a Green Audit of its campus?

Since inception importance is given for development of eco – friendly atmosphere in the campus by the management and allocation of certain amount is present in annual budget. Hence, a separate green audit does not arise until now. However, the following explanation highlight the commitment of the institution towards eco-friendly campus.

College is covered with over 500 big trees aged over 30 years. Nearly 5 acres of lawn equipped with water sprinkling system. Over 6000 plants in pots spreading over all departments. Bio- manure is prepared in the campus using bio – waste provided

out of trees and plants.

Organic waste of the campus is converted into fertilizer compost within the campus.

College maintaining a nursery with samplings. Eco-park is arranged in the campus with pet animals like Rabbits,

Ducks, and Hens.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the College to make the campus Eco-friendly?

• Energy conservation

The college has wide spread arrangements for power connections with a central Substation, Control panel and Power room. Breakers are available at substations and control panels are available at power room. Panels and Distributions boxes are available at individual Departments.

Underground power cables (Aluminum armed 3 Phase with neutral, 6 mm2 to 240 mm2) are used to minimize losses.

Staggering of classes has been done to reduce peak load. Switches are provided outside each classroom/lab to switch off power

to these areas when not in use, leading to substantial saving in power. CFLs are used in small rooms and corridors along with tube lights. Classrooms and labs are designed in such a way that natural lighting

and good ventilation are provided. • Use of renewable energy :Using Solar Emergency lamps in

the Library. • Water harvesting

There is enough open space and mud paths to harvest the rain waters There is enough extent of plantation to reduce evaporative loss and

soil erosion.



• Check dam construction

There is no check dam in the college premises at present. • Efforts for Carbon neutrality

The college has been nurturing a large number of plants and trees which can absorb carbon dioxide.

• Plantation

There are more than 100 trees with wide branches on the campus. Different plants are nurtured with care. Among the trees there are many Kanuga trees which are considered very powerful oxygen emitting ones. The college has a quadrangle with a natural green carpet surrounded by nicely cured plants and landscaping is also done with an eye for eco friendly orientation.

• Hazardous waste management

No hazardous waste is generated in the campus from any Department. The Institute takes all the care regarding the chemicals or other materials which may turn out to be hazardous in nature. Department of Chemistry is the only place where a few concentrated acids are stored for utilization in the B.Tech. first year laboratory. All precautions are taken to store those chemicals in a safe and separate room. These chemicals are used by the students in their laboratory classes in extremely dilute form which do not cause any harm to the students or environment. In view of the extremely dilute form of acids used by the students in the laboratory, the waste water is drained out directly. Exhaust fans and fire-extinguishers are arranged in both B. Tech. and Research laboratory of the Chemistry Department. There is a fuming cup-board in the B.Tech. Chemistry laboratory for preparing the solutions of volatile substances like ammonia.

• e-waste management

The e-waste is sold from time to time to the local people for recycling.

• Any other: The waste dry lives, waste grass from long and decomposable litter are use to produce compose manure.

The institution is an ISO9001:2008 certified institution and various processes under teaching & learning are closely scrutinized in various departments and at the Institutional level and certified every year by an external ISO audit team. Some of the mechanisms are:

Academic system Close monitoring of course coverage through frequent meetings of

HODs with concerned Departmental faculty members. Periodical collection of student feedback on five point scale of 10

parameters. The Director performs a sapient academic and administrative role

in looking after curricular execution complemented by performing an advisory role for planning and co-ordination of academic and co –academic activities of the Institution.

Continuous evaluation and regular monitoring and review of performance of teachers based on feedback and percentage of passes.

Faculty counselors for every 30 students. Remedial classes, bridge courses to make up for weak and slow

learners. Automated student information system Feedback from all the stakeholders to improve the system. Inviting experienced people from academics and industry for

delivering guest lectures. Incentives for those carrying out research and publishing

papers/participating in Seminars/Conferences. Parents are informed about the performance of students after every

internal examination. Computerized attendance and marks system is available.

Administrative system: Administrative mechanisms in place for quality assurance are: A separate examination section with controller of examinations Training and Placement Cell is separately available to take care of

all the aspects related to placements Grievance redressal cell to attend the problems of students. R & D wing and R & D database have been created and is under

use. College administration is run through participative management of

HODs and the Principal. All decisions are taken jointly and implemented. The implementation is also monitored jointly.



There is a centralized research committee with Director, Principal, R & D wing Head as members as core members and respective department HOD as member to overview all R & D related activities at departmental and institutional level.

Techno fest and cultural activities are conducted on national level with the participation of entire college. This promotes integrated approach to student training and cultural and social responsibility.

b) Quality assurance for academic programmes Academic Planning

The course syllabus, lesson plans and other handouts are given to the students at the beginning of the semester/year.

Faculty meetings are held regularly chaired by HOD to monitor course progress, curriculum, co-curricular and extra curricular activities and the institutional level activities such as NSS, NCC and other social activities including ISO processes that control the teaching and learning processes.

Feedback is formally collected from the students twice every semester and is reviewed. The faculties who obtain inadequate feedback marks are advised to improve on their weaknesses by HOD and the Principal.

Student feedback analysis is carried out and appropriate remedial measures are taken.

Parents are contacted and shortcomings of the students are reported.

Performance Monitoring Right from the time of admission, performance of every student is

carefully monitored. Based on the examination reports, faculty counselors take up counseling of poor performers & try to assess reasons for their poor performance. Also, HOD monitors individuals’ progress.

Periodical meetings are conducted by the Principal and HODs to review the results of internal and external examinations.

Special classes are conducted for slow learners. The analysis of the results of end semester examinations is carried

out and discussed by HOD with the Principal. Teaching staff members guide the students in their projects,

monitor their performance and counsel them regarding their performance, apart from regular teaching. Thus, teachers play different roles like project guides, counselors, etc.

Administration A committee comprising the Academy members, Principal, HOD

and a Subject Expert is constituted to assess presentations of lectures and interview for recruiting faculty members.

Merit list is made based on the overall performance and recruitment is done based on interview performance.

This process ensures entry of quality faculty members.



Student evaluation Both Internal and External Evaluation- Two Assignment tests and

two Sessional Tests in a semester, plus External End semester Examination, are conducted.

Evaluation procedure & guidelines are given to the staff for both theory & practical exams. Corrected answer scripts of internal exam are distributed to the students.

7.3 Best Practices 7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better

academic and administrative functioning of the College.

The college implemented a few best practices in the recent past years. Details of two best practices are mentioned below, followed by brief description of the other best practices.

Best Practice-1 Title of the Practice: Comprehensive student Monitoring system Objectives of the Practice



The college has envisaged and has been implementing a student monitoring system which enables the institution to contribute to the overall development of the student. The following are the objectives of the system.

To enable the administration not only to gauge the curricular processing from a generic perspective but also to possess a specific understanding of the entire academic processing even at a micro level.

In order to encourage the members of faculty to be more precise in delivering the content.

To identify the student regularity not only at the level of individual courses but also on a daily basis

To develop a highly transparent and a rationally accountable system

To enable the parents to have a ‘Ready Reckoner’ kind of system in order that they would understand the academic interest being evinced by their wards.

The Context Student Monitoring has been a regular phenomenon with any of the academic institutions. There are age-old practices in the process. It is an established fact that many of the methods enunciated and systems administered have not been able to steer the institutions towards a comprehensive mechanism. In the light of this, the institution has undertaken an intense analysis of the issue. It is understood that when a system that incorporates both academic processing and student attendance monitoring at one go only would stand as a really comprehensive one since it is realized that student attendance monitoring and academic processing shall not be considered watertight compartments. Considering the above, the college has developed such a system which accommodates a comprehensive strategy.

The Practice As has been presented the mechanism is a multi-layered one

1

Student attendance is recorded in every class. Student attendance is taken in the First Five Minutes of a given class.

A Comprehensive check of Regularity and Punctuality

It presents the assiduity of a student in the sense that the process registers the extent to which the learner has been evincing interest in all the subjects. The procedure even though seems to be a trivial item, when executed, ensures conducive learning environment. The Time frame presented above relates not only to the regularity but also to the punctuality of the student.

Rationale



2

Instant consolidation of student attendance is done by the teacher as a part of process.

Instant consolidation for ready reference

Instant consolidation as opposed to the terminal consolidation gives a clear picture to the teacher regarding a student pertaining to the number of classes that he/she attended at any given point of time.

Rationale

3

In addition to marking attendance, the teacher records the items of the syllabus covered in the Almanac presented at the end of the register.

Recording academic information

The institution believes in a monochromic pattern which is expected to manifest not just in the conduct of examinations but in the regular day-to-day academic transactions which contribute to the knowledge base of the students. Hence, the college insists on recording the coverage of syllabus at the end of the Attendance register of the students

Rationale

4

In addition to the Attendance register which is a regular phenomenon of academic institutions, the college introduced “STUDENT ACTIVITY REPORT” in which every teacher has to record the Basic information after each of the classes.

Day-wise consolidated report of Attendance and Academics

A Table is earmarked for each of the working days. The teacher has to record the Code no of the subject in the time slot in which the class is handled, present the registered numbers of the Absentees and the academic items covered.

Attendance register maintained by the teacher presents the particulars of a student’s attendance for an individual subject. On the other hand, this Report presents a microcosmic representation about the student attendance related to any given day for each of sections/classes. All the individual registers need not be checked when overall information is required regarding any student pertaining to regularity.

Rationale

Moreover, it would stand as a counter check for the coverage of syllabus by the teacher.

5

Each of the teachers is expected to post the monthly attendance of the sections he/she handles on the last working day of the month into the Web-based monitoring portal. A teacher can access with his /her own secure password, enter the data, check and submit. When it is submitted, the teacher ceases the right to modify on one’s own. If at all any modification needs to be done for a valid reason, he/she has to submit the request in writing. Such

Digitizing the Attendance Data



modifications can be done by the Head of the Department with the prior permission of the Principal.

The digitization not only gives permanence to the data but also offers swift access to all those that are a part of the system. On the other hand, because of the secure system the details become tamper free. Hundreds of man hours have been saved for typing the data since the decentralized entry makes the process easier.

Rationale

6 In spite of growing numbers in intake, the college has not watered down the process of individual monitoring in the fact that 20 students are allocated to a teacher who acts as the teacher counselor. The teacher counselors serve the purpose of mentoring with a comprehensive orientation taking various aspects into reckoning.

Student Counselors

The system offers a chance to the individual academic momentum over and above the group momentum created by the macro level strategies administered by the college to encourage students towards overall academic and co-academic development. In addition, the basic soft skills will be increased in the process as the teachers closely observe and monitor the students, and the process offers a platform to instill ethical, social and spiritual values in the students since the interaction would take place in a syllabus-free and unstructured environment without prejudice to the expected teacher-taught relationship.

Rationale

7

Proctor diary:

The college has developed a system which accommodates close monitoring not only of student attendance but also of the academic performance in the formative assessment. A Diary is maintained for each of the students by the teacher counselor. The said document records monthly subject-wise student attendance and marks obtained by the student in internal assessment. The teacher takes up counseling based on both the items. The said diary gets transferred to the higher class when student gets promoted to the next class.

The said diary stands not only as the micro level data of the academic and social behavior of the student but also as the perpetual student data sheet. Information can be elicited regarding any student at any point during his or her academic career not only pertaining to the current semester but also in the previous semesters.

Rationale



8

The college has been leaving no stone unturned in apprising the parents of the students about the regularity and academic performance of their wards. Several strategies have been employed in the process. The counselors contact the parents over mobile phones and letters are sent through registered post to the addresses on record regarding students who happen to have considerably low attendance and internal marks explaining the consequences leading to the detention as per the academic regulations of the college.

Regular information to the Parents

Even though it is the responsibility of the parents to get in regular touch with the college to know about the regularity and academic performance of their wards, the colleges feels it not only an academic responsibility but also a social responsibility since some of the parents happen to be little or uneducated who may not possess academic orientation and to put the prospective technocrats trained at the college on the right track with the help of the parents.

Rationale

9 Conduct of diagnostic tests in certain subjects which have tremendous influence on the future of the students has been a regular feature in the institution. Remedial classes are conducted based on the performance of the students

Diagnostic tests

The regular Formative assessment shows the current academic position of a student and Summative assessment represents the academic knowledge one achieves. In other words, the ‘Entry academic Behavior’ and ‘Exit academic Behavior’ are tested thorough the regular curricular examinations. But in this world of Outcomes Based Education, the level at which a student is expected to perform shall also be made clear through crystallized strategies. It is being done through the Diagnostic test. In addition, such tests have been depicting the clear distinction between ‘Competence’ and ‘Performance’ of the students.

Rationale

10 On-line Publication of Attendance and Results

As has been presented, the college has a very transparent system in making the information available to the students and their parents. As a part of the system, digitized particulars of attendance and academic results are published on the College website which can be accessed from anywhere. This is done in addition to placing the hard copies of attendance and result statements in the college notice boards.

:

This enables the parents to know about the regularity and academic performance of their wards from anywhere. Students also will be wary of

Rationale



their behavior, academic and otherwise, since their performance would be known without exception.

Evidence of success: The said Comprehensive Student Monitoring system contributed to

the following The number of prizes in national level competitions has increased

since students have been able to plan their academic schedule properly and have been improving understanding beyond their syllabus

Students attendance has increased considerably The performance in campus placements has also improved

The soft skills of the students have been observed to be on rising note.

No problems were encountered in the implementation of this practice. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Best Practice – 2

Conforming to expected quality norms through ISO. Title of the Practice

The main objective of this practice is to improve the academic standards and to provide all the academic facilities to the students based on today’s need of the industry/field into which the students enter after they complete the course.

Objectives of the Practice

The institute thrives to achieve the standards in both academic and administrative aspects in order to see that students may leave the campus with excellence in all constructive dimensions after completion of their course. It is well known that quality assurance through ISO is a best practice in industries and organizations. It is expected that this mechanism of quality assurance may be useful in checking and maintaining quality in the educational systems also. Hence, this practice is implemented in the Institute.

The Context

The practice involves several faculty members who work for the attainment of ISO certification. All these members are headed by Management Representative (MR) who monitors all the processes in the campus. An external agency is invited every year to assess the quality of the processes implemented in the campus. After thorough verification and

The Practice



discussions and confirming the quality maintenance, the agency extends the certification period. Apart from the external audit, the MR conducts internal audits twice a year. In this process, a few experienced faculty members act as internal auditors and are sent to different departments for audit. The regular documentation at department level is taken care of by one or two faculty members called QMS Department level Coordinators.

After implementing this practice, the institute developed in several aspects towards academic and administrative excellence. The certification by external agency proved that the institute is performing in a better way on par with the universities and other institutes which attained same level of certification.

Evidence of Success

No problems were encountered in the implementation of this practice. The institute is continuously thriving by monitoring and bringing out any non-compliance to ISO practices.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

------- Notes

Any additional information regarding Innovations and Best Practices, which the College would like to include. Apart from the above two best practices, the college implemented the following best practices for the maintenance of the quality of teaching-learning process: a) Automation of student information

Automated information sharing mechanisms in the institution enables close monitoring of student performance as well as attendance and helps in passing on the same information to their parents.

Regular feedback from students ensures the effectiveness of Teaching - learning process and introduction of new elements into the curriculum from time to time.

b) Best practices for promoting social responsibilities and citizenship

roles among students Students at the institution are always educated about the social responsibilities. They have to take up as engineers to undertake areas of research and development, which will be relevant to the society. The college motto “Technology with Human Face” also

exemplifies the service philosophy of the institution. To achieve this, students are encouraged by the faculty through

various community oriented programmes under N.S.S unit and reach out to the people of surrounding villages and help them.



c) Efforts to bring in community-orientation in institutional activities: Students at every step are encouraged to develop social concern & orient themselves towards community interest. The college not only initiates community welfare activities but also supports them throughout: The college buses are used, to provide transport to patients to

attend medical camps conducted by the NSS units of the college. The patients are treated in the camp for their ailments and

medicines are provided at free of cost with donations collected from staff and students.

The N.S.S volunteers also visit orphanages and old age homes and distribute useful articles to them.

Details of the camps organized by NSS in the last three years are shown in the table below:

The Department of EIE conducted Diabetes and Cancer camp in

2011 in association with Nagarjuna Hospital, Kanuru. d) Best practices for building relationships

In order to build relationship, the Institute is conducting the following events: Alumni meet Parents’ meet Industrial tours Techno fest – A technical and cultural festival every year Technical exhibitions



The institute in its endeavor for academic excellence explores various means to attract and keep students motivated to carry out higher intellectual pursuits. Through the interactions with Alumni, funds are also mobilized which are used for the Institutional development and student scholarships. A local Member of Parliament from Alumni donated Rs. 2 crores and Old Students’ Association donated 1 crore rupees.

e) Efforts for Stakeholder relationship The institution involves all its stakeholders in planning, implementing

and evaluating the academic programmes. For maintaining high academic standards the institution continuously seeks inputs and feedback from all its stakeholders Awareness is created among parents and students about the course

structure, discipline, academic planning and examination system right from the admission stage.

Alumni meets are organized periodically and feedback is taken from the alumni and incorporated in the academic plan.

Feedback from the students is taken in semester and steps are taken to improve teaching learning process.

Planning The Principal and Heads of the departments together plan the

academic curriculum and give a broad annual framework. Students and parents are also involved in the designing of activities

related to co- and extracurricular activities.

Implementation Feedback from the students, parents and industries at regular

intervals. Alumni act as brand ambassadors of the institutions and their

feedback is sought for the growth and development of the institution.

Encouragement is given to the students to take part in various cultural, literary and technical competitions.

The outcome of the alumni and parents meets is considered for the development and modifications in the academic system.



F) Quest for excellence

Apart from building the skills of students in various technical subjects, the students are given special counseling on personality development and also on spoken English and Communication Skills. Training and Placement division also conducts special sessions and prepares them to face the IT companies and Core engineering companies in the campus interviews. Eminent and renowned alumni members are invited and are given an opportunity to interact with the students. Students’ feedback on each and every teacher helps on improving the weakness in the teaching. Towards promoting R & D, the college has started a Research and Development Wing headed by a well experienced person who has worked for many years in DRDO of Defense department, Government of India.

This college has already established its reputation as one of the best colleges in and around Andhra Pradesh, Vijayawada for its teaching and its standards in the curriculum design. Because of this, most of the students who passed their EAMCET examinations give this college as their first choice and most of the counseling seats in all departments are filled up in the starting days of web counseling. The branch-wise starting ranks of the students joined the Institute in the previous academic year 2011-2012 through EAMCET counseling are mentioned below: CE – 9113; CSE – 1573; ECE – 2157; EEE – 4540; EIE - 10646; IT – 12689; ME – 4155;

To summarize, the college is trying hard to meet the core values of NAAC and at the same time, it has the following facilities to carry on the goals and objectives of its mission to turn out very good quality students in different fields of disciplines to cater to the needs of Indian Industry and to the national development at large. They are summarized below: The college has given due importance to gender in the recruitment

of its faculty of both teaching and non-teaching. Out of total teaching faculty of 267, the number of women faculty is 85.

Regarding the admission of students from SC, BC, ST and other weaker sections and Disables students, the college strictly follows the norms established by the Government.
