1.4. Assessment of the achievement of Program Educational Objectives

1.4.1. Indicate tools and processes used in assessment of the achievement of the PEOs (5). Describe the assessment process that periodically documents and demonstrates the degree to which the Program Educational Objectives are attained. Also, include information on: a) Listing and description of the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the evaluation of each Program educational objective is based. Examples of data collection processes may include, but are not limited to, employer surveys, graduate surveys, focus groups, industrial advisory committee meetings, or other processes that are relevant and appropriate to the Program; b) The frequency with which these assessment processes are carried out.

The Program Educational Objectives were developed through the discussions held in meeting

conducted by the Internal Quality Assurance Committee (IQAC) the Program Assessment

Committee (PAC) and direct the interactions of placement cell with the Industry Advisory

Committee which has representation from the employers.

Main sources for assessment of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are :-

18

Institute Industry Partnership Cell (IIPC): The objective of the cell is to bridge the gap

between industry and academic Institute. The IIPC comprises of Placement Cell & Training

and Development Cell.

(i) Training & Development Cell: It is a pre-placement drive that consists of various activities

planned for Post Graduate students MCA. It aims to bridge the gap that separates students

from opportunity. For years, colleges have used exams to determine whether to deem

incoming students “college ready” or assign them to developmental education. However, the

emerging information reveals that the tests have little correlation to students’ future success,

casting doubt on their use even as the high stakes for students of taking remedial courses

become clear. Educators are rethinking whether the tests are fair and wondering if their

traditional use constitutes a barrier to college completion. Keeping in mind the above IITM

conducts following activities on regular basis:

(a) Communication Skills Training - Coordinators ensure that communication skills

training sessions are arranged twice a week in all classes.

(b) Mock Interview - Coordinators have to plan at least four mock interviews per semester

per batch. The interview panel should assess and guide the students in terms of their

general code of conduct for interviews, confidence, behavioral and technical aspects.

(c) Aptitude Test - Coordinators have to ensure that at least 6-8 tests per semester per batch

are organized. It is their responsibility to get the set of tests formulated along with

answer keys in a standardized format from the resource persons well advance in time.

This scheduling need to be coordinated with Class Mentor that the regular classes are

smoothly conducted as per time table ensuring that their regular classes are smoothly

conducted as per the timetable.

19

(d) Group Discussions - Coordinators have to ensure that the scheduling of GDs is planned in

batches and the topics for the GDs have to be designed keeping in view the industry scenario.

This scheduling needs to be coordinated with Academic Coordinator ensuring the smooth

conduct of regular classes as per timetable.

(e) Pre-Placement Talk - Coordinators will ensure that TPO give organizes a pre placement

interaction with every batch whenever students are going for placements.

(f) Technical Test - Coordinators have to ensure at least 6-8 tests per semester per batch are

organized. It is their responsibility to get the set of tests formulated along with answer keys in a

standardized format from the resource persons well advance in time. This scheduling needs to be

coordinated with Class Mentor ensuring the smooth conduction of regular classes as per

timetable.

(ii) Placement Cell: The Placement Cell is headed by Training & Placement Officer (TPO)

along with other faculties and students representatives as members. The Placement Cell is

responsible for networking with industry and conducting placement activities. The training

and development cell also comprises of faculty members and students representatives. The

cell is responsible for conducting career guidance activities such as mock interviews, group

discussions, workshops on resume building, business etiquettes etc. The details of the

structure mechanism are as follows:

(a) Every student who wants to avail the Training & Placement services has to register with

Placement Cell, failing which they tend to have no claim on training and placement

services. Every student who registers with it is bound by the terms and conditions as laid

down in the Placement Policy. Registration implies submitting details to the cell

prescribed format made available with the IIPC.

20

(b) All placement/job opportunities are informed through notice board and Institute’s

website.

(c) Eligibility criterion is specified by every company participating in campus recruitment.

Every student, who fulfills this criterion, may attempt the recruitment process of any

company until he/she gets the offer.

(d) Companies are expected to give a Pre-Placement Talks (PPT) or a written communication

laying out the details of the company and the prospective offer before the process. Once a

student appears for the process, the student cannot reject the offer made by the company.

(e) No further attempts will be permitted to the students who have secured offers from any

company, irrespective of job profile, salary offered, etc. Thus, students can have only one

job offer. All the students who secure an offer will have to compulsorily join the

company.

(f) Once registered, students will not be allowed to withdraw their candidature from a

particular recruitment drive unless there are some exclusive points mentioned in the pre-

placement talk of which the students were not appraised of earlier. In such a case,

exceptions can be made only after the consent of the TPO. Any student who withdraws

the candidature, rejects the offer at any stage, abstain from any rounds during recruitment

process without sufficient reason will not have any further claim for training and

placement services.

(g) Preferably, Pre-Placement offer to summer trainees are to be made before the actual

placements start. The student must decide, within 4 working days of having got the offer.

If the Pre-Placement offer is accepted, the student will have to opt out of the Institute

21

placement process. However, a student with pending Pre-Placement Interview Offer is

eligible to participate in the future placement drives.

The Institution has recorded 67% employment of its students through campus placement

initiatives (the details are in respect of IT and Management students), whereas, 33% of the

employed students have been placed through off campus activities. The Institution feels

pride in acknowledging that out of these 33% of students; a few of its alumni are involved

in entrepreneurial activities and are managing their own enterprises. List of Companies

(iii) Focus Groups - Focus groups comprises of HOD, PDs, concerned faculty of specialized

area who act as moderators along with a small group of (3-5) students who are the

respondents. Focus group is concerned towards inculcating research and self-learning

abilities among students. Students are encouraged to write Technical Research Papers and

Projects. Focus group organizes mock interviews, technical sessions, group projects,

Research Projects, GDs for respondents to discuss their view about a topic. Interview is

conducted in an unstructured and natural way where the respondents express freely their

view points on any aspect.

(iv)Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) Feedback - IQAC takes the feedback from the

students and faculty, With regard to the respective subjects required the completion of the

course. The IQAC feedbacks are conducted each semester. Students play an effective major

role in the functioning of the IQAC .The Head of Departments who are the members of

IQAC take informal feedback from the Class Representatives and also conduct meetings to

ensure an effective functioning of quality. These representatives may voice out their

feedback on various issues in the periodic meetings held by the IQAC. The IQAC also takes

student’s informal feedback to further improve the existing academic and administrative

practices. Institute tries to integrate alumni feedback in the functioning of the IQAC. Alumni

feedback is taken on their experiences at the campus, the lacunae in the existing teaching

practices for incorporation of their suggestions.

(v) Alumni Surveys - The Alumni Association of the Institute of Information Technology and

Management (Regd.) has been formally registered with the Registrar of Societies Govt. of

Delhi. Under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860, (Registration No: S/

23

WEST/2011/8900163 dated 29th January 2011). Alumni meetings are conducted every year.

Alumni self-assess the extent to which they have attained the objectives, as well as

importance and preparatory level of student outcomes in their career. In addition they provide

information about their current status and job profile. Alumni also share their experiences

with the current batches through the Institute’s face book page and website.

1.4.2.

Achievement of Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) is established by a number of

documents. These documents are described below:-

(1) Comprehensive and Continuous Evaluation (Internal Assessment)

(2) Result Analysis

(3) Placement Records

(1) Internal Assessment

At the Institute student’s progress is continuously monitored through class tests,

assignments, presentations, group discussions and the progress is communicated to their

guardians through parent’s teacher meetings, Letters, portal and interactions.

The class contains a mix of intelligent and average students. We admit students of all

calibers and further use following yardstick in line with our objective “Nurturing

Excellence”.

24

Extra lectures / Practicals Hand-out /Notes / Assignments/Case studies.Compulsory Attendance. Unit level Test and follow up.Project / Presentation Student Mentoring

All the aforesaid measures are the indicators of growth and development of our students which

are as follows:

i. Hand Out & Notes - These notes aim at providing fundamental and broad based

knowledge and exposure on the concepts, theories and practices related to the

respective subject field.

ii. Internal Assessment Class Tests - All subjects are assessed out of 100 marks (40

Internal & 60 External Exams). We have an appropriate policy in place available as

‘Institute manual’.

iii. Assignments & Case Studies - These assignments and case studies help students

apply and practice the theoretical concepts along with the current topics of study

thereby, ensuring the learning experience amongst the group.

iv. Fortnightly Presentations - Our students are required to give team wise fortnightly

presentations on all subjects for better understanding of the subject in bits and pieces

as well as to have the teamwork experience. This also caters to along with developing

their social presentation skills, spoken English, voice modulation and query handling

qualities.

v. Summer Training / Minor / Major Projects - All summer training projects are

handled by a team comprising of one Project Coordinator comprising 4-5 expert

faculty members drawn from each class. The projects are prepared as per project

guidelines and evaluated on the basis of phase wise schedule of activities leading to

25

submission. Hence, the monitoring and evaluation is done phase wise. The Summer

Training guidelines and evaluation policies implemented are available in academic

circulars. These projects’ being the tasks assigned and add to the knowledge base and

reinforces learning experiences having worked at the individual, group and

organizational levels in the professional scenario.

vi. Extra Lectures / Tutorials - These are arranged for weaker students if they need

some more time to understand any difficult topic. These are also aimed to help the

class practice on a given set of problems, at team level and help students gain

confidence as they go back and do the same problem at individual level later.

vii. Lab. Practical - At the laboratory, the students not only gets an opportunity to have

hands-on experience of all theoretical concepts but will also have the chance to

explore the current subject literature that builds individual style and sharpens his

skills in the respective area of his/her liking .

viii. Student Mentoring - At IITM we pursue a concept of Class mentors, who are

responsible for overall one to one interaction with class students, class

representatives, subject teachers, program director and parents. Thereby, these

mentors bridge the gap between all the stake holders and also help their students

come out and share their personal and academic problems.

ix. Personality Development Programs - All such programs focus on overall

Personality Development of students by enhancing their communication skills,

developing the skills of the professional undergraduate students on self expression,

social communication, spoken English, correct pronunciation, voice modulation and

26

business etiquettes. Re-orienting their attitudes and behavior and ultimately

positioning them for corporate roles.

x. Unit Level Tests and Follow up - This is one way to revise the core and common

concepts of the unit of a subject. With this short test the students get to know better

what and where they have missed out in the course of studies.

xi. Compulsory Attendance - This is a mandatory policy followed homogeneously at

class levels so as to further improve end term results.

xii. Mock Interviews/ Tests - We also conduct mock interviews and aptitude test at PG

level for our students for drilling them and preparing them for better performance

before final placement drives take place. During these tests they are being assessed on

the basis of their I.Q.; Aptitude abilities and other soft skills, which help them

improve their weaker areas.

xiii. Faculty Feedback is done at the end of every semester by students, without

identifying the student’s name, through a Faculty Feedback Form. Feedback from non

The process of redefining PEOS is coordinated by IQAC. The Committee assesses the

attainment of PEOs through the formally stated directed and indirect methods stated. The need to

redefine PEOs is examined critically based on the inputs given by PACs. The recommendations

hence collected are highlighted and further discussed at university level (affiliating University,

Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University). University Program Coordination Committee

Meetings held biannually and is represented by HOD where the Program status, industry

requirements and other related issues are deliberated upon are been reviewed. The changes

hence recommended are integrated in the curriculum to reflect current industry trends and

specify the latest tools and technologies. The PEOs are then again revisited and aligned with the

changing requirements of the Program and industry.
