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.

WEAKNESSES –

Slow progress in identifying funding agencies for research & consultancy Project.

Insufficient strength in Post Graduate programme.

OPPORTUNITIES –

The responsibilities of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineers will be with the design, construction and

maintenance of instruments and entire instrumentation systems of any industrial undertaking. After

completion of this course, students will have very high opportunity in almost all Automation industries,

(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 Academics and industry through 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 reputed companies.

To embed industry practice and engineering ethics within the students.

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

To integrate latest Industry trends as a part of the curriculum.

To associate industry experts as adjunct faculty to conduct specialized course components.

3. The Context

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

encourage forging of relationship between the industry and the Institution. The Institution has signed MOU s

with the following Industries;

levels.

Centre for Development of Advance Computing (C-DAC), Pune engaged in creating quality manpower

in IT by way of Education and Training.

International association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials-India (IAPMO-I) dedicated to the

education of individuals who seek to work in the plumbing industry.

Goethe-Institute/Max Mueller Bhavan, Kolkata provide German Language programme for the benefit of

the students.

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 evidence to show the success of this best practice.

Percentage of Students Selected during campus interviews

Year In Percentage

2013-2014 68.58

2014-2015 96.48

2015-2016 89.20

2016-2017 96.50 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

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.

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.

35 % of faculties having more than 5 years of experience.

20 % 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.
