STRENGTHS –

It aims at producing qualified engineers in the areas of Industrial Electronics, Biomedical Signal

processing, process control instrumentation and Virtual Instrumentation. This is an advanced

branch of engineering in which students are trained to handle any situation associated with

instrumentation and is widely developing to involve day to day life activities. This branch offers

a wide range of job opportunities. There is hardly any area of Engineering, Science and

Technology where Instrumentation in one form or the other is not needed.

High end, industry centric skill development programme through 13 centres of Excellence.

The scope of instrumentation engineering is vast, and is fast growing, in part due to the increased

use of automatic control in manufacturing and process plants. Growth is also tied to the

development of more accurate and more robust sensors, which allow us to detect phenomena of

interest (such as the presence of minute levels of toxins in food) with much higher precision than

what we could do a generation ago.

Large number of faculties having Ph.D degrees for creating research culture.

Various Scholarships to a large number of students.

Placement and career guidance.

Scholar Support Programme (SSP) for needy students

Remedial coaching was arranged for academically weaker students

Community extension programmes through Mobile Science & Technology.

(BEST PRACTICES)

BEST PRACTICE – I

1. Title of the Practice: “Imparting high end skill development training to make the students

Industry ready”

2. Goal of the practice:

To Bridge the gaps between the Institute and industry by MOUs

To make the students industry ready by imparting different skill based training apart from their

course curriculum.

To enhance the job opportunity by attracting more good companies.

To embed industry practice and engineering ethics within the students.

To attract quality students and faculties by creating industry based facilities.

3. The Context

The Institution has an “Industry Institute Partnership Cell” and an “Entrepreneurship Development

Cell” that encourage forging a relationship between the industry and the Institution. The Institution

has signed MOU s with the following Industries;

Bosch Rexroth for establishing “Knowledge Centre in Automation Technology”.

IBM India Pvt. Ltd. for academic initiative programmes

Siemens for training on PLC, AC/DC Drive, Basic Switchgear and Motors etc.

FESTO Controls Pvt. Ltd. to establishing a FACT centre for the implementation of technical

training courses.

CoreEL Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. for up gradation of infrastructure in VLSI, Embedded

Domain and other IT related topics and also for research programmes, projects and student

internships.

Institute of Himalayan Bio resource Technology (IHBT) for research collaboration, joint

proposal, joint programmes, etc.

ED Co., Ltd, Korea for technology transfer in the areas of Robot Education Technology and

manufacturing technology, Electrical, Electronics and other engineering departments.

KTeng, Korea for setting up of an exclusive training centre in all aspects of refrigeration and air-

conditioning.

NOVA South Eastern University for BS/MS degree in Coastal Zone Management and Marine

Environmental Science.

National University of Laos to establish Indo-Lao International Centre of Excellence & Technical

University

The British Council, Kolkata to contribute towards existing resource and collaboration, maximize

impact through partnership, utilize the existing networks to mutual advantage and benefit. Share

knowledge and ideas to develop new products and services

CTTC, Bhubaneswar contributes towards extension of infrastructure and fabrication facilities for

research and development. Exchange of manpower for development of human resources.

Cranes Software International Limited, Bangalore (referred to as Cranes hence forth) which is

University Program Partner of Texas instruments, India.


Challenges faced by the Institute in this regards are:

Huge Investment in infrastructure and Instruments

Training the faculties and getting skilled trainers in a particular industry based instrument.

4. The Practice:

The Institute created nine different centres of excellence and imparted the following certified courses

to the students and created industry trained staff. During the last four year more than 2000 students

undergone one or more than one of these skill based training programmes

5. Evidence of Success: The placement record is one of the evidence to show the success of this best practice.

Percentage of Students Selected during campus interviews

Year In Percentage

2012-2013 78.09

2013-2014 68.58

2014-2015 96.48

2015-2016 89.20 More than 90 companies were associated to our college for the Campus recruitment for our students.

6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Though the Institute has MOUs with the above listed industries and companies the cost of instruments

and equipment shared by the Institution is very high. Therefore initial financial burden to establish centre

of excellence is very high. Most of the centre of excellence is new of its kind in State of Odisha and near

States of Odisha. Getting quality trainer during the starting of the program is very difficult and the

Institute takes a huge financial burden to train the existing trainer to train in India as well as abroad.

BEST PRACTICE - II

1. Title of the Practice “Faculty Drive – Higher studies and Retention”

2. Goal of the practice:

To recruit qualified faculties graduated from reputed Institutes.

To create a State-of-art learning atmosphere among students and faculties.

To enhance the R&D activities, hence growth of funded projects and consultancy

To retain the performer to accelerate the growth and create a good culture practice by developing

belongingness.

To attract quality students by the faculty strength of the Institute.

3. The Context

The Institute has a dedicated HR cell under the direct supervision of Principal and headed by the

Registrar. It has a very clear and transparent policy for the recruitment, evaluation, carrier

improvement and promotion policy. It takes utmost care to maintain a healthy working culture inside

the campus by different motivational workshops/training and facilities. The pay scale is always

matched with the AICTE/UGC norms:


Challenges faced by the Institute in this regards are:

i. Getting Ph.D. qualified faculties.

ii. Scrutinizing process for the large number of applications.

iii. Attracting more number of outside State faculties.

4. The Practice:

Recruitment of faculty:

The College recruits and retains the faculty who are competent, qualified, experienced and

experts in their respective field of study.

Process of recruitment as per AICTE norms:

Calling for applications through advertisements in local and National newspaper and college

website.

Scrutiny of applications through the selection committee.

Interview calls by phone, email and posts.

Selection of applicants based on experience and qualification by senior faculty and

internal/external subject experts.

Issue of appointment letters to the selected candidates.

Retention of Faculty:

The following retentive measures are adopted by the College to ensure long stay of its

faculty members in the College.

The medical leave and earned leave is provided for the faculty members who retain for more

than one year in the College as per College HR policies.

Maternity leave is granted to lady faculty members who have completed the probation period

in the College as per the Central/State Government Rules/Maternity act.

Provision for sanction of study leave for the faculty members undergoing higher education:

Incentives are given to the faculty members based on the nature of work towards the

development of the College.

The College encourages its faculty members to take consultancy and R&D assignments where

the faculty members receive monetary benefits in the ratio of 60:40 (40% to the College).

Paper publication in National and International conference: Full TA and Registration fees.

Free residential and transport facilities are provided to senior professors outside campus.

5. Evidence of Success

The faculties are motivated by the Institute and many have completed their M.Tech and PhD in

due time.

60% of faculties having more than 5 years of experience.

30 % of faculties having more than 7 years of Experience.

2% of faculties are joined this Institute after retirement from reputed Institutions and industries.

Faculty qualification up-gradation is a key evidence for the success of this practice. One of the evidence

in this regard is the number of faculties are allowed to participate in different faculty development

courses/workshops organized by the Institute or by the other Institutes with the help of eminent resource


persons from reputed Institutes/Industries. The number of faculties undergone through this type of

knowledge enrichment programme for the recent and thrust area are shown below.
