2.14 Significant Activities and contributions made by IQAC

The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is the primary quality assuring body in the

institution. The IQAC promotes the outcome based education in the institution. All the UG programmes

(except BE Civil Engineering and BE EEE) are accredited by NBA. The IQAC promotes curriculum

design and development through the curriculum development cell of SKCET. The developed

curriculum is evaluated by IQAC and implemented by the departments as per the guidelines formulated

by the IQAC. The IQAC formulates templates for course plan, course information, time table, events

plan and academic calendar. Mandatory courses and value added courses are introduced in the regular

time table. The cell prescribes the guidelines for tutor-ward meeting and counselling. Gap in skill sets

of faculty and students are identified by IQAC and suitable workshops, seminars, conferences are

prescribed to the departments by the IQAC. The Centre for Professional Development and Training

(CPDT) and the departments organises several training programmes for improving the teaching and

technical competencies of the faculty.

IQAC initiates the institution/departments to sign memorandum of understanding with

premier industries and educational institutions to promote faculty development, joint R&D, students’

Recommendation 4: Impart additional language training to all students.

Learning multiple languages is becoming important in the increasingly integrated global

business community. To improve the additional language expertise of students, mandatory

Hindi training was given to all students. The concept of learning the foreign languages has

always been productive as it not only imparts linguistic skills but also enables learners to

explore and learn about related cultures and lifestyles. Students travel to countries like

Germany and USA for taking up their higher studies. In order to cater the needs of such

students, language training on German was also offered by professionally trained language

trainers. Students cleared the level 1 German language training at our college.

The followings are the details of various additional language training:

German

German language has been offered as an additional language in association with

Gothe Institute to the interested students. The duration of the course is 60 hours. 60

students from various disciplines have successfully completed the German language

(Level1) and received certificates last year.

2. Goal

There has been a concern about quality of technical education in India although in terms

of access and equity, India has done very well. Curriculum/Syllabus is upgraded to


80

enhance the knowledge of students and make them industry ready before they graduate.

AICTE has prescribed a guideline for framing the curriculum/syllabus to improve the

overall technical education scenario in the country. SKCET revises its curriculum and

syllabus annually to include the latest developments in the field of technology and

science. This time, the revision of curriculum/syllabus is carried out by obtaining expert

opinion from industries/leading academicians and benchmarking with the guidelines

proposed by AICTE.

3. Context

The revised Model Curriculum helps the students to understand the industry requirements

and supports them to have hands-on experience. Students are encouraged to take up 2 to

4 open electives to promote interdisciplinary learning. A student can even learn the skills

which are not part of the curriculum and the same shall be awarded additional credits.

4. The Practice

The revised model has been designed in such a way that the credits have been

reduced to 165 with a focus on fundamentals and ample opportunities are provided for

students to take up electives both from the discipline and cross discipline to understand

about the latest technological advancements. It was also felt that students should get

holistic education which has components of sports, physical activities, values and ethics.

5. Evidence of Success

Annual revision of curriculum has yielded good result in terms of placements and

employability. CBCS was introduced in the curriculum for 2015-2019 batch for the first

time. This batch is in final year and up to this point 775 students are placed in premier

industries. The present curriculum introduced from the year 2018 includes topics to

enhance employability skills and it also promotes inter – disciplinary knowledge. Hence

it is believing that this latest curriculum will also lead to improvement in placements and

inculcate the qualities of continuous learning.


81

Best Practice 2:

1. Title of the Practice: Online Learning

In order to motivate learning through online platform and to gain knowledge on emerging

technologies, students and faculty members are motivated to enroll in online certification

courses like Swayam-NPTEL., Edx., Course era and MOOC.

2. Goal

The goal is to expose students to upcoming technologies and best lectures by

professors/faculty members from premier institutions.

3. Context

Students are advised to select any online course of their choice and will be enrolled for

that course with a duration of either 4 or 12 weeks. Faculty members are also insisted

to enroll for a course pertaining to their field of interest or a course that is relevant to

the subjects they handle in that semester

4. The Practice:

The students attend online classes, classroom tutorials and discussion sessions. At the

end of each lecture, assignments must be submitted in groups under the supervision of

an expert faculty. At the end of the course, the students undergo an examination and

based on their performance, grades are allotted.

5. Evidence of success:

After successful completion of the course, the students gained knowledge on the

emerging area and performed better in their semester exams. SKCET is termed as one

of the ACTIVE local chapters for NPTEL. During the tenure June to April 2018, 1846

registrations were made for NPTEL courses and 1519 candidates successfully

completed their course. SKCET is ranked 16th and 13th in the odd and even semester

exams respectively during the academic year 2017-2018. The college is ranked AA by

Swayam-NPTEL and it is also a nodal centre for conducting the exams.


82

7.4 Contribution to environmental awareness / protection

Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology thrives to promote awareness

about environment amongst the students and faculty. Some of the initiatives taken by the

college are as follows.

1000 number of saplings were donated to students and faculty members through NSS

Volunteers to promote green revolution.

Pothanur Railway junction was cleaned by NSS Volunteers during the month of

December 2017 as a part of Pradhan mantra swachh bharat scheme.

A road safety rally was organised by SKCET students with SAEINDIA club on January

2017. Around 200 Volunteers participated in the rally

Blood Donation camp was organized by NSS and The Institute of Indian Foundrymen

(IIF) - SKCET Students Chapter at Sri Krishna Hall during the month of August

2017.Around 50 volunteers donated blood.

NSS Volunteers participated in Pollution Control Awareness Rally organized by IIF

during the month of August 2017 at Race Course Coimbatore.

Use of renewable energy

Solar water heaters have been installed in the hostel for the supply of hot water to the

students

Solar street lights and energy saving lights have been installed throughout the campus

premises.

Energy Conservation

Classrooms are made with enough cross ventilation so that the use of electricity can be

minimized.

The library is innovatively designed to use natural light during the day time.

High volume low speed fans are installed in library and seminar halls. These fans

consume less energy when compared to conventional fans.

Rain Water harvesting

Rain water harvesting tanks have been constructed for all the buildings in the college

to increase the ground water level. The facility has been constructed adhering to

government norms on hygiene.


83

Separate storm water drains are being maintained, which collects the excess water from

pathways and pavements.

Check Dam Construction

Groundwater recharge or deep percolation is a hydrologic process where water moves

downward from surface to underground. Recharge is the primary method through

which water enters an aquifer. In our campus rainwater harvesting and recharging of

groundwater is being done through percolation pit and charging bore (using check

dams).

Infiltration of groundwater has been increased by percolation pits and 35 charging bore

holes were constructed across the waterway to improve the groundwater recharge. The

process of ground water recharge through charging bore holes is done by constructing

check dams along the water ways so that the water level can be raised and allowed to

percolate through bore holes.

Charging borehole using Check dam Infiltration Channel

Efforts for Carbon neutrality

The College makes the students aware of the Carbon Credits, Carbon Neutrality and its

advantages as a part of mandatory course Environmental Science and Engineering

offered during the first year programme.

Plantation

The National Service Scheme units and students plant tree samplings in and around the

campus.

Plants purchased by the Management have been distributed among the students to

promote green cover belt


84

Lush green lawns and ornamental plants are being maintained in the campus.

Sprinklers for even and uniform watering of the lawns and to reduce the heat of

premises have been installed throughout the campus.

As a best practice, a sapling is planted in the name of VIP visiting the campus and the

growth of the tree shall be seen through the app.

Hazardous waste management

There are no hazardous chemicals used in the college.

Sewage Treatment Plant has been established so that college campus is made as an eco-

friendly environment.

The recycled water is used for gardening and flushing purpose.

E-waste management

Computers and peripherals are sorted and exchanged with new purchases
