1.3.5 Citing a few examples enumerate on the extent of use of the


feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum?

The affiliating university has its own mechanism to collect and use the
feedback from stakeholders in enriching the curriculum. Beside this, the
institute collects feedback from different stake holders such as students,
parents, alumni, teachers and industry to design the curriculum for
supplementary courses to bridge the gaps between curriculum and current
needs. The student feedback is taken twice in a semester. A parent meet is
organized once in semester and their feedback is taken. Every year alumni
meet is called to collect their views for academic improvement. Informal
feedback regarding their opinion about curriculum and needs of the industry is
taken from the recruiters and industry experts. The feedback from students and
parents are utilized for improvement in academic environment and
infrastructure of the institute. The feedback from teachers, alumni and industry
experts is summarized and used for the enrichment in the curriculum.

For example: As per the feedback received from the recruiters that there is a
big scope to improve communication skills, soft skills, analytical ability of the
students. Then the institute has started a co-curricular course (40 hours per
semester) for the improvement of communication skills, soft skills, analytical
ability of the students. This course is run along with the curriculum of SPPU
and separate provision of 4 hours per week is made in the timetable.

1.3.6 How does the institution monitor and evaluate the quality of its
enrichment programmes?

To monitor and evaluate the quality of the enrichment programmes, a


feedback methodology is used.

Zeal College of Engineering and Research, Narhe, Pune-411041 32


CRITERION I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS

• In the last session of every programme, a feedback is taken from the


participants. The feedbacks are used to enhance the quality of these
programmes.
• During campus recruitments, a feedback about students is taken form
recruiters. The feedback is with reference to the skills imparted by the
institute during enrichment programmes. These feedbacks are used to
modify the contents and way of delivery of these programmes

1.4 Feedback System

1.4.1 What are the contributions of the institution in the design and
development of the curriculum prepared by the University?

As per the informal process of curriculum design in SPPU, the BoS of all
branches used to call its members and the senior teachers from all colleges
affiliated to SPPU. In these meetings, as per the structure of curriculum given
by academic council of SPPU, the subjects in the curriculum are finalized.
Then in the subsequent meetings, subject wise contents are finalized. As a part
of this process, the teachers from our institute contribute in the design and
development of the curriculum for various programmes offered by institutes
affiliated to SPPU.

1.4.2 Is there a formal mechanism to obtain feedback from students and


stakeholders on Curriculum? If “yes”, how is it communicated to the
University and made use internally for curriculum enrichment and
introducing changes/new programmes?

No, but the affiliating university has its own mechanism to obtain feedback
and opinions from experts for development of curriculum.

The feedback from parents, alumni and industry are taken for the design of
supplementary courses, improvements in teaching methodology, mechanisms
in day to day activities.

1.4.3 How many new programmes/courses were introduced by the


institution during the last four years? What was the rationale for
introducing new courses/programmes?

During last four years the institute has introduced 9 (5 PG, 3 Doctoral and 1
UG) new programmes. The PG and Doctoral programmes were identified
based on the increasing demand for higher education and for developing
research culture in the institute. UG programme was identified as per the
demand of specific technical field.

2.1.4 Is there a mechanism in the institution to review the admission


process and student profiles annually? If ‘yes’ what is the outcome of such
an effort and how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

As the admission process is carried out by Competent Authority, there is no


role of the institute to review or change the admission process. However, in
order to attract meritorious students and to make the process student friendly,
number of initiatives as mentioned in 2.1.1 are taken. Meetings of the college
admission committee are held to plan various activities to enhance number of
admissions. Necessary refinement is made as per the innovative ideas and the
mechanism is made more students friendly.
The institute maintains student profile through ERP which is used for the
analysis of student intake.

Outcome:
The analysis helped in determination of
• The quality of the student at the entry level so as to groom them
accordingly.
• Geographical region of the students so that institute can focus in the areas
from where major share of admissions have taken place.
• Region/district wise meetings of students and staff to resolve the queries of
the students.
As a result of this process, in the last five years, the institute has observed a
sharp rise in the students maintaining discipline. They have learnt to
channelize their energy and potential into more constructive activities.

• To provide experience of actually doing something rather than learning
from books.

The Context:

Zeal College of Engineering and Research, Narhe, Pune-411041 193


CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

It is important to have a sound grasp of the theory that underlies any


profession or industry. However engineering graduates are lacking in
application of this theory in practice. It is therefore essential to bridge this gap
by undertaking hands on training. There are some skills that can only be
learned through hands on practice. It’s important that much of the learning
material in any given course should be provided in a way that allows students
to get involved practically to increase their knowledge and abilities.

To enhance the employability and inculcate the graduate attributes as per the
guidelines of outcome based education, it is necessary to imbibe skill sets in
the engineering graduates. To meet this requirement, institute has made a
practice to provide hands on training to all the students every year.

In the present context, as per the NASCOM and other reports, only 25 % of
the engineering graduates are employable. This is indicative of lack of
employability amongst the engineering graduates. It is essential that the
information need to be converted into knowledge and knowledge in to the skill
set. With the use of latest ICT tools and the technical skills would definitely
enhance the employability and the confidence in engineering graduates. As
there are many avenues as per the new policies of Govt. of India like Digital
India, Make in India and the supports like NSDC, students can acquire
necessary skill set and support to start their own start up.

The Practice:
Hands on trainings are conducted on the topic related with their curriculum or
based on recent industry trends during the academic year. This training is
conducted by expert faculties from corresponding department or practicing
professionals in the relevant area. All required resources are made available to
students during the training. The process is carried out as given below.
1. Need Assessment for Course
2. Curriculum Design
3. Identification of faculty/ practicing professionals
4. Implementation Planning

After successful completion of training students are appreciated by certificate


of participation in certain cases. These programs are conducted regularly every
semester for all the classes since last three years. The details of the programs
conducted during academic year 2015-16 are as given below.

• Evidence of Success:
By conducting hands on trainings for SE to BE students on various topics,
they got more exposure in the respective field. Many industries have
automation in manufacturing. Getting training on CNC machines has created
more interest in Mechanical Engineering students to work on shop floors and
build up the confidence about their work. Students from Electronics &
Telecommunication Engineering and Electrical Engineering understand the
components, basic processes, interfacing, controllers etc. so that their interest
in the subject increases which is reflected in their feedback. Computer
Engineering and Information Technology students are exposed to
understanding of the motherboards, installation of operating systems and
development of codes which boosts their academic performance.
Civil Engineering students get exposure to various construction materials, its
handling, structural elements, and basic operations on construction site
creating self confidence and interest in the subjects.

This practice is appreciated by employers and other stakeholders and also


during informal discussions with HRs, they have shared their views regarding

Zeal College of Engineering and Research, Narhe, Pune-411041 195


CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

the improvement in the student performance during selection process carried


out for placements in industries.

Students become aware of specific requirement of skill set for a job profile.
They also become aware about recent trends in the market and also the
resources for various requirements and their interaction with practicing
professionals is enhanced. It is observed that students have participated and
shown better performance through the acquired skills at different platforms
like development of All Terrain Vehicles to participate in SAE-BAJA, Go-
cart, SUPRA competitions and also robotics competition at IIT Techfest.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:


• Time constraints of the students due to adherence to the academic calendar
of the University
• Batch size is restricted to 20 numbers only because of less number of
training kits.
• In the branches like Mechanical Engineering, due to large number of
students, it is difficult to complete the training to all the students in
designated period.
• During training schedule, sometimes unavailability of practicing
professional is faced.
• Hands on trainings are generally scheduled at the beginning of the
semester; number of student beneficiaries gets reduced because of non-
reporting to the institute after the vacation.
• Some of the training programs consume more time making it unable to plan
and implement.

Best Practice 2:

Title of the Practice:


To inculcate the entrepreneurship and self-employment among students.

Goals:
• To provide the strong technical platform to the Engineering students in the
field of technology and state of art skill development.
• To share the experiences and challenges faced by successful entrepreneurs
to the budding Engineers.
• To confer the employability to weaker sections as a part of social
responsibility.
• To strengthen the interdisciplinary bonding by sharing the technologies
from different disciplines of Engineering.
• To promote interdisciplinary and collaborative activities leading to self

To be an entrepreneur, one needs to have confidence in his idea, risk taking
ability and decision making power for implementation of that idea. The
budding entrepreneurs are lacking in putting more efforts towards studying the
current market trends and are also having less inclination towards working
hard and pursuing their dreams. Financial literacy among budding
entrepreneurs is another important aspect. To inculcate this aspect among the
aspirants, the institute has organized a session of experts from banking sector.

The Practice:
Taking these problems in to account, the institute has set up EDC during July
2014. Structure of EDC is as follows.
