Guidelines for College Internal Quality Assurance Cell
Responsible for promoting public confidence that the quality of teaching learning & academic standards enhanced and safeguarded.
Responsible for the review of academic activities and suggest for the further quality improvements.
Annual Report preparation based on NAAC requirements.
To set benchmarks and best practices every year to enhance Quality standards in the area of education, research and services.
The department wise Criteria coordinators are responsible for collecting data for further augmentation.
The existing Departmental NAAC Coordinators will also function as departmental IQAC Coordinators for collecting data of the departments and audit the same once in three months.
IQAC shall convene the meeting every 6 month with minimum 2/3rd members ensuring the quorum. The minutes of meeting are to be forwarded to IQAC and highlighted in the website.
College hand book explains the organization and standard operating procedure for the quality initiatives on par with the statutory norms and expectations of the institution.
All academic processes of the institution are digitized and managed through the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.
To monitor the students academic performance such as attendance and internal assessments.
To maintain the record of performance of teachers.
Educational institutions need to store huge volume of data about students, teachers, and academic details. The ERP system by integrating all programmes offered makes the data management easy.
The Principal, Heads of Departments, Teachers and Students are individually allotted with an ERP number. Being an online portal, retrieval and updating of information is convenient. Ease of data management, data security and quick access of large data. The academic reports of students and staff can be easily retrieved.
Application of ERP makes effective monitoring of the students reduces the absentees. It is convenient to analyse the students performance in each semester and to take remedial measures. The teachers and parents can jointly counsel the students for improvement.
Frequent damage to the hard disk is a problem which is addressed by required back-ups. By increasing the RAM capacity, the system can become suitable to handle large data input.
Besides, the present institutional values and best practices discussed above, it is proposed to include other valuable practices such as industry integration into academia and compensatory classes for slow learners.
Best Practice-2
Development of Technocrats through Skill Enhancement
To bring out better practical skills of Engineering students.
To promote knowledge-based and technology-driven start-ups through mentorship, guidance, and support.
It is a well-known that skill development empowers the students with domain skill sets which make them more employable and more productive in their work environment.
The practical training courses such as Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Structural Analysis and Designing Program (STAAD Pro), Hardware and Networking, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, and design of power converters are conducted for the students. Industrial visits and project works are arranged for the students to get hands on experience.
The institute’s efforts on skill development of the students resulted in their placement in reputed industries. Further the students have submitted about 30 research projects to Tamilnadu State Council for Science and Technology (TNSCST) for funding.
The students are exposed to certain basic skills in the regular laboratory classes. However, Industrial-Institute tie-up is required for training the students on recent technology skill sets.
Besides, the present institutional values and best practices discussed above, it is proposed to include other valuable practices such as industry integration into academia and compensatory classes for slow learners.
