Reasons for increase / decrease
The increase or decrease of students intake in different branches
depends on the industry trends, market position and economic trends in
national as well as international domain.

locality and placement trend..
At present admitted strength of Electrical Engineering Department is
found increasing, which is mainly because of inclination of students and
their guardians towards core engineering.
Food Technology Department is comparatively a newer stream. Each
year strength of admission to Food Technology Department is
increasing.

maximum of 200 marks.
For all theory and practical courses other than project work, the continuous
internal assessment carrying 30 marks subdivided to unit test(15marks),
MCQ(5marks), assigment(5marks), attendance(5marks) and 40 marks
subdivided to conduction of laboratory experiment(15 marks),performance
in laboratory class(10 marks),viva voce(10 marks) and attendance record(5
marks) respectively while the end semester examination shall carry 70 and
60 marks for theory and practical, respectively.
Page 54 of 194

An Industry Institute Partnership Cell (IIPC) at Gurunanak Institute of
Technology was formed followed by a meeting of all HODs and Director
on 6th
November 2007. The objective and Activities were also formulated
thereafter and a Committee was formed. The prime objective towards the
formation of the IIPC was to mitigate the gap between the industry and
institute for the benefit of the students‘ community.
The IIPC of GNIT has taken initiatives to organize several seminars and
workshop aiming to help students to understand and adapt to the changes
between campus life and corporate life. Out of many seminars and summits,
GNIT organized a grand Summit at Oberoi Grand, Kolkata on 4th
September 2009 & the second was organized at Netaji Indoor Stadium,
Kolkata on 20th
August, 2011. These particular events were aimed at
helping students understand and adapt to the changes between campus life
and corporate life. Now that it is time for the recruitment process to start,
students will be going for company interviews in pursuit of their dream
jobs. However, students, while still in college, need to be aware of the
Page 96 of 194
climate of the industry that they will soon be joining since the industry has
constantly changing needs and demands. The Summit is thus a platform
where the Industry leaders are invited in order to guide the students with
their own expertise, insights by sharing their own learning‘s and
experiences, offering them encouragement, mentoring, and invaluable
suggestions to show them the way forward.
Acknowledging our efforts both industry and government agencies have
made strategic tie-ups with our educational Institutions. Partnerships with
government and industry enhance each of our Institute's research,
education, and outreach mission. Such partnerships enable the Institute to
investigate new transportation trends and technologies, and to launch new
initiatives. Partners provide valuable funding, access to internships, and
enhanced educational opportunities through visiting lecturers, workshops
and special courses. Going hand in hand with government and the
industry gives us the extra edge of policy standpoints and industry trends.

students are encouraged to use library and internet facilities.The
teaching staff maintains diary and record daily instruction delivered,
practical conducted and other such activities performed. Any short
time responsibilities (Extra lecture, duties for seminar etc.) are
properly recorded and informed to concerned authority.The teaching
plan is drawn up month wise by each department and it is strictly

have obtained the status of research centre which will help in
establishing hard core research activities, supervising and
awarding PhD.s.
Community engagement

area associated with their performance. 360 Degree evaluation (Students
feedback, Head of the Department‘s report, Principal‘s report, Administrative
feedback) for faculty is done. Weakness of the faculty members are found and
accordingly, training and orientation programme are arranged for them as
corrective action.
Fresh teachers are given one month pedagogical training before assigning
classes and re-assessment of training is done by the experts.

operates within a clearly identifiable leadership structure. Attractive career paths
are provided for those taking on leadership responsibilities and ensure appropriate
compensation (e.g. financial support, career upgrading, diminished teaching
load…). It is ensured that the teaching and learning framework can be easily

increasing the number of research publications nationally and internationally
by the faculty members.
Page 190 of 194
Students are also highly motivated for doing innovative projects and won
prizes in technical competitions and published their research papers in
conferences and work shops. Students are also inclined to pursue higher
education to quench their thirst to acquire knowledge of modern technology.
This helps to enrich the society and improve the quality of life.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

institute managed to recruit some of this level of faculty.
Sometimes high cost is involved in executing research activities specifically
concerning capital equipments. The management partially provides optimum
funds to implement the research practice to the possible extend. The institute
also receives funds from outside agencies, which greatly helps in upgrading
research laboratories and promoting this practice.

non-academic issues. The issues include:
good and bad study habits
study planning and techniques
how to make the most of lectures and practical classes useful.
distractions if any, and how to cope with them
what to do when things go wrong
examination preparation
health issues, etc.
The meetings also provide the students with a forum for discussing their own
experiences and ideas, with a view to fostering networking and mutual support
within the class.
