CRITERION VI – GOVERNANCE, LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
6.1 – Institutional Vision and Leadership
6.1.1 – Mention two practices of decentralization and participative management during the last year (maximum 500words)
The Institution has a practice of participative management. It provides anopportunity to all the employees and stakeholders to participate in the
decision-making process. The decentralized governance model is evident in everysphere- academic, financial as well as administrative. All matters are
discussed and decisions are made through recommendations of various Statutoryand Non-Statutory committees represented both by teaching and non-teaching
staff, students, parents, alumni, employers, The practice of Decentralizationand Participative Management:: The top management has decentralized its
financial, administrative and academic powers to the Principal, Faculty membersand administrative staff from time to time. Right from inception of the
institute, they have planned and implemented both quantitative and qualitativeparameters through decentralization and participative management.
Decentralization delegation of powers come effectively by the aid andassistance of BOG by constituting statutory and non-statutory committees like
Academic Council,IQAC,NSS,Anti Ragging etc. Some of the decentralizationexamples are discussed below: Academic Decentralization- The Academic decisionsreferred to the introduction, reformulation of courses and syllabi, teachingmethodologies are taken through Academic Council after obtaining inputs fromconcerned faculties and departments. At the faculty and department levels,there are bodies like the Board of Studies, Academic Committee, Research
Committee, etc., which function in a coordinated manner to take decisions withrespect to academic and research related issues. The composition of thesebodies reflects the participative nature of Institute administration.
Administrative Decentralization- All the administrative and academic duties arecontrolled by the Principal of the Institution. The Head of the Departments
works under the guidance of the Principal and Internal Quality Assurance Cell.The Registrar, Dean RD,COE,Librarian and other faculty staff members are
involved in the various academic,administrative or other statutory and non-statutory committee tasks. The non teaching staff plays a crucial role inmanaging the day-to-day work. They are assigned to meet and accomplish theoperational and strategic objectives. For the smooth functioning of the
institute, all the members conduct regular meets,discuss and take necessarysteps to formulate and implement the perspective plan of the institution.
Financial Decentralization- Finance is one of the vital parts of the instituteand the Finance Committee oversees and formulates all its activities. All themain decisions are taken by the Head of the Institute in consultation with thedifferent bodies, Registrar and Head of the Departments. The Financial Autonomyreflects in the power delegation distributed amongst the different level ofhierarchy like purchase of books, equipment procurement, hiring transport,travel fares for attending FDPs, Seminars and Conferences etc. The institute
thus always promotes the culture of participative management anddecentralization by involving the faculty and staff members in various
activities.

The institute is a very successful minority institution that has, since itsinception been at the forefront of inclusivity efforts. It brings together thestudent body as well as the faculty and staff, who belong to different walks of
life together in many different ways. Inclusivity efforts are best shownthrough a melee of religious and cultural events which the institute celebrateswith gusto. The events are not only curated to fit the annual activity list,but are also socially and developmentally beneficial in integrating students
into the mainstream society. In terms of sociological inclusivity efforts, theinstitute is at the forefront as a minority institution. The institute has beena proud receiver and patron of several financial assists meant to help students
with strained financial conditions. Being a Sikh Minority institution, thecollege has built its inclusivity efforts around the principles of Equality.Every year during Gurupurab , the institute organizes Langars or “Community
Kitchens” where everyone irrespective of gender, caste or religion eattogether. It is a wonderful display of Communal as well as Cultural
inclusivity. This is also an environment of socioeconomic inclusivity since thecollege takes opportunities to do charitable works such as bringing food and
relief to underprivileged communities, stationeries and books to under-privileged children. Students are encouraged to participate in these charitableacts and it also serves as community outreach for students. The institute is
linguistically inclusive since the students celebrate Bhasha Divas orInternational Mother language Day every year with cultural programmes in theirmother tongues. This is also a wonderful show of our regional inclusivity,
wherein we exhibit that the college provides a most inclusive environment withspeakers of the language from almost all parts of our diverse country. Anotheract of regional inclusivity is the celebration of Rabindra Jayanti and BijoyaSammilani by the institute which is a marker of an inclusive cultural marker
for not just the students but also the staff. The Institute celebratesfestivals of religious importance such as Diwali, Durga Puja, Eid, Saraswati
Puja, Vishwakarma Puja, Christmas Eve etc where all staff and studentsparticipate freely. This shows the communal as well as cultural inclusivity of
the institute. The institute also hosts several international students, apartfrom the medley of regional students besides the local student body. We have
International students from China and Bangladesh, as well as students from allregions of this country, including the southernmost parts of the country likethe Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The student body, despite its rich diversity,
stands strong in unity. This is possibly the best way that the institutedisplays its regional inclusiveness.

7.2 – Best Practices
7.2.1 – Describe at least two institutional best practices
Best Practice-1 Title: BCT - Beyond Curriculum Training OBJECTIVES: To ensurethat the students develop technical skills and core competencies to becomeeffective technocrats to serve the industry and corporate world with utmost
professionalism. THE CONTEXT: In this context to make the students moreemployable and enterprising in the job market, the the institute organises
training programs for the students from 2nd year to final year. Based on theirexisting skills at each level, various technical courses are offered to thestudents in each semester. These courses assist them to update their current
Industrial/Corporate expectations and enhancing their adaptability. The coursesare offered as per their stream in a form of the subject basket from where thestudents can select one topic during each semester under the guidance of their
respective mentors. After completion of this training, the students getcertified through a process of evaluation. THE PRACTICE: The training programsconducted by in-house corporate trainers in coalition with industry experts,
are highly customized and devised to develop one’s thought process withprofound technical and management skills. The training prepares the students to
face the global market with undaunted confidence and a solution-orientedapproach. The students are taught about the practical scenario of the
industrial applications and gain other product development-oriented knowledge.They are also motivated towards the achievement of higher studies and research-based activities. The training is provided as per the topic selected by theindividual student. The duration of the training program is at least 40 hours
per topic and is organized before the commencement of each semester. In thevacations between the semester’s training are involved to carry on the
continuous knowledge enhancement of the budding engineers. The continuousmonitoring of the students’ performance is conducted through assessment. After
analysing the requirement of a particular skill set from the industry andcollecting feedback from students and other stakeholders, a few of the topics
from BCT is incorporated in the curriculum. In the year of 2016 and 2018,certain topics from the BCT basket were adopted to Curriculum as per the
industry demands. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: The students try to become the befittingcandidate in this ambience through their technical skill up-gradation.
Different types of industrial training, internships, job-oriented traininginformation are provided to the students. These types of programmes enable themto compete with the other students with enhanced efficiency. All students arenot interested in joining the industry and hence don’t attend the training.
Solutions: There are three categories of mindset among the students – i. To beIndustry professionals ii. To pursue Higher Studies iii. To be an entrepreneur.
The first category of students is trained as per the industry requirementsthrough projects. The second category of students is not interested to chooseBCT courses and for them training to appear in GATE, CAT and other relevant
Competitive examinations are arranged by the mentors. For the third category ofstudents, Entrepreneurship Awareness Programs/ Camps (EAC) are organized.
Resources Required: • Necessity of industry experts. • Requirement of academicresource persons from another renowned institute of higher learning. • Need ofmore laptops and licensed software. Best Practice-2 Title: Digitization ofScript Evaluation System OBJECTIVES: The institute has been a pioneer in the
changing world of the education system. Digitization of the education system isthe need of the hour. The institute had fully automated the examination system
from the academic year of 2018-2019. Digitization of the answer scriptevaluation will speed up the overall process, along with maintaining assessment
records safe and easily accessible in the cloud. In addition, it maintainssuperior confidentiality and transparency of the evaluation process. Result
declaration will be possible within the stipulated time with the requirement oflesser man-pour. THE CONTEXT: The traditional paper checking process is
extremely time consuming and involves many logistic activities. The Answerscripts sometimes get misplaced during transportation and are associated withthe problem of storing a huge number of answer scripts. The result declarationin this context is a lengthy procedure and less reliable as it involves the
threat of transcription error at many stages.. In this context Digitization ofScript, Evaluation System has been adopted. THE PRACTICE From the Academic Year2018-19, a highly comprehensive digital infrastructure IntelliEXAMS system fromMindLogicX has been installed at the institute for digitization of the answerscript evaluation and processing of results where the entire data is securelystored on a cloud platform with encryption. The system supports both the pen
and paper-based assessments and online assessments. The system is supported byall the common platforms like Windows, Android and iOS. Some unique features of
the system • Ensure no loss of answer scripts with scanning and archival,absolutely no chance of loss of any data • Tampering of answer scripts is not
possible as they are encrypted • Answer scripts can be evaluated by theExaminer / Head Examiner from anywhere and anytime • Outcome-based performanceanalysis, • Student requests for Scan Copy and Re-evaluation can be quicklyaddressed by the system. • Examination Results can be tracked by the studentson IntelliEXAMS mobile app. Steps followed (i) Answer Sheet Scanning: High-Speed scanners are used to scan the answer sheets. Students’ identities likename and roll no are masked in the process. (ii) Scripts Allocation: Definitenumbers of scripts are allocated to the examiners from the COE office. (iii)
Digital Correction of Exam Papers: Examiners can securely log in to the systemand can evaluate scanned answer sheets. It has both freehand and inbuilt
annotations along with space to provide remarks for individual answers. The
system helps to auto calculate the total. The system also takes intoconsideration the best of the performances of the students for optional
answers. During the script evaluation process, if the internet goes off, thedata will be stored in the device and synchronized as soon as the net
connectivity is restored. Faculty can install the mobile app of on-screenmarking system and can evaluate from a mobile. The system gets locked
automatically if the evaluator stops the evaluation process for some time. (iv)Result Generation: The automated system compiles internal marks and scriptevaluation marks and generates mark sheets without any manual intervention.
There is a facility to export the result in excel format. It helps to speed upthe result generation process. (v) Online Result and printing of Grade Cards:On official publication of the result, the students can view and print their
results from their PC / Laptop / Mobile. The Grade Cards / ProvisionalCertificates are printed at the COE section and distributed to the students.EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS: Distribution of Answer Scripts: Before digitisation, itwas a laborious task with the involvement of a huge number of manpower and
after digitisation answers, script distribution is done from the COE office onthe same day. Internal Marks Entry: Before digitisation hard copy of internal
marks was submitted by the faculty members to the COE office and theexamination cell members were used to enter the marks to the preparation of
mark sheets. After digitisation, the internal marks are directly entered onlineby respective faculty members from the logins provided to the respective
departments from the COE office. Storage of Answer scripts: Beforedigitisation, the answer scripts were stored for 5 years under strict securitywhereas after digitisation the answer scripts are securely stored in the cloudin an encrypted manner. Storage of marks and related data: Before digitisationmaintenance of hard copy files were needed whereas after digitisation as allthe important data are stored in the cloud it saves not only the space but is
also an eco-friendly approach of the institute. Student Grievance: A hugereduction in the number of students’ grievances (PPR post-publication reviewapplications PPS post-publication scrutiny applications) was observed after
digitisation which is depicted by the bar diagram. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDRESOURCES REQUIRED: Senior faculties faced some problems adapting to the new
method of evaluation. As multiple agencies are involved in the process a strongsynchronisation is required for the successful implementation of the process.Master data uploading is a crucial part of the process which must absolutely
error-free and in a secured manner. Access to the data is restricted and cannotbe accessed without permission. A few other problems encountered are fibre
optic failure adobe acrobat version, file permission, dot net compatibility andforgetting of passwords by the students. As the system has no geo barrier andthe examiner can access the scripts anytime and from any location internet
speed sometimes becomes a challenge for them. Resources required are platformslike Windows, Android and iOS, applications like adobe acrobat dotnet and
internet connectivity.
