highest priority to the curriculum development and its execution. It

plays a significant role in the academic and professional careers of the

graduate students. The institution executes the following process to

take care of the design and development of the curriculum:

Constitution of Academic council consisting of representatives from University, HODs, Professors and

faculty.

Constitution of Board of Studies (BoS) with representatives from IITs, NITs, Universities,

Industries, Research Organisations with senior faculty

members of the Departments.

Alumni surveys, Feedback from parents and employer responses are incorporated to upgrade, modify and

introduce new ideas relevant to the global economy.

19

Consultations among senior faculty members regarding changes to be made to existing syllabus with the input

The academic year in the college is comprised of two semesters: the first semester

from July to November and the second semester from December to May. The number

of actual working days is as per calendar in an academic year, at 6 hours per day

comprising a minimum of 75-90 days per semester.

The students academic progress is monitored regularly by adopting the strategy of continuous internal assessment, mid sem examination, seminars, group discussion,

assignments, attendance and end semester examination. 35% of marks are assigned for

continuous internal assessment and 65% is for Semester examination. 2.3.2 Does the College provide course outlines and course schedules prior to the

commencement of the academic session? If yes, how is the effectiveness of the

process ensured?

Yes. The syllabi of the program is made available on institute website. The faculty

members adhere to the time schedule as per academic calendar and teaching is done as

per schedule. This helps to automatically fix the quantum and quality of teaching to

the advantage of stakeholders. The proper implementation of this takes place and is

supervised by HoD of a particular department. All this is ensured by dedicated faculty

who also advice the team of students.

Each teacher handling the subject to a class:
