methodologies, students performance, feedback from the students etc. and the conduct
of tutorials and additional classes for academically weaker students.
The outcome has shown a steady and rapid improvement in program outcomes.

6.5.4 How has IQAC contributed to institutionalizing quality


assurance strategies and processes?

 The institution has defined a minimum set of components for continuous internal
evaluation

Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology 204


NAAC - Self Study for Autonomous Colleges

 Each and every faculty has to follow the minimum set of components. The
institution gives an academic calendar with scheduling for minimum set of
components for the semester.
 The tests are conducted at the institutional level with one department, co-
ordinating the conduction by rotation, as per the academic calendar.
 Each faculty gives 3 sets of questions, which will be scrutinized by the DUGC
for the quality of question papers and the format. Dean (Academic) will select
one question paper to ensure transparency.
 There is academic audit of every department once in a semester to ensure that the
quality is maintained.
 Even for SEE, one question paper is set by the internal examiner, 2 more
question papers are set by two external examiners one each, which will be
reviewed by BOE consisting of internal and external experts. The answer books
are coded. External examiners also participate in the evaluation of SEE answer
books and practical examinations. These processes assure quality and
transparency at the institutional level.

6.5.5 Does the IQAC have external members on its committees? If so,
mention any significant contribution made by such members.

 Currently Dr. N R Shetty, the former Principal, KREC, Suratkal, Former Vice
Chancellor of Bangalore University, with his vast experience in the field of
higher education and experience in TechnicalEducation helps in quality
maintenance / Assurance in all our academic activities.
 We propose to form different committees for each of the specializations by co-
opting external experts from IISc / NITs / IITs in the committees to monitor the
quality and take steps for continuous improvements in the learning outcome &
employability of the students passing out of the institution.

6.5.6 Has the IQAC conducted any study on the incremental academic
growth of students from disadvantaged sections of society?

 NO so far, action will be taken to conduct the study shortly

6.5.7 What policies are in place for the periodic review of


administrative and academic departments, subject areas, research

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Provide details of innovations introduced during the last four


years which have created a positive impact on the functioning of the
College.

The innovations introduced during the last four years are


1. Design, development, testing and launching of India‟s first students‟ satellite
called STUDSAT – I, by the students of NMIT in association with 6 other
colleges were carried out. The satellite is of type Pico (satellite weighing less
than 1Kg). As part of focus on research and innovation, the NMIT as lead
institution along with 6 other colleges forming a consortium, in collaboration
with ISRO, have designed, fabricated, tested and launched the India‟s first
PICO (Student Satellite- STUDSAT-I) on 12th July 2010 from Sriharikota
with the support of ISRO.
 The students are currently involved in the design of STUDSAT-II
 The students who were mainly responsible for the success of STUDSAT-I are
undergoing advanced training and research in different universities all over
the globe.This has led to a large number of UG Students of different
departments undergoing training and participating in the research in
multidisciplinary areas like Satellite, Vision based ROBOTS etc.
2. B.E. students are actively involved in R&D activities.
3. Internship for students during vacations with additional credits.
4. Under the Society of Automotive Engineers, students have designed and
developed a formula one car.
5. Students are guided by the faculty in the multi-disciplinary research projects
like Robotics and Small satellites.
6. Robotics is undertaken by the students under the Innovation Entrepreneurship
Development Cell of the college.
7. Students are involved in various ongoing sponsored research projects.
8. Students have developed a Pick and Place Robot and OFC link, which are
kept as permanent exhibits in Birla Science Center, Hyderabad.
9. Students have developed a model light weight Aircraft using Balsa wood
with remote control facility.
10. Students have developed a moped to operate at speed upto 130kms/hr.
11. Mandatory soft skills and Domain specific skills are imparted for III year
students, so that they will be ready to face the campus recruitment interviews
in the final year.
12. Special classes for academically weaker students.

Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology 209


NAAC - Self Study for Autonomous Colleges

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to
better academic and administrative functioning of the College.

Best practice – I

1. Title of Practice

Multi-disciplinary Research and development

2. Objective of the Practice

 Objectives of the higher education in the present context have to be globally


relevant. UG & PG students pursuing higher education besides focusing on
lecture classes will have to participate in the pursuit of research and
innovation.
 Pursuit of innovation requires the background of multidisciplinary research.
 Multidisciplinary research leads to improved opportunities and flexibilityto
the studentsto get better employment.

3. The context

In the present Indian system of higher education the different disciplines


are treated as opaque walls, which hinder quality research and innovation to be
part of higher education system. These walls need to be adequately porous so that
a student pursuing in any discipline has to necessarily go beyond the frontiers of
his own subject which enables him to seriously pursue knowledge of yet another
discipline and in such an environment the horizon of research one pursues gets
deeper leading to newer and innovative practices.

4. The practices

In the context of Indian higher education, if the departments work


independently then the solution developed may not be feasible to meet the
societal needs. Most of the societal requirements need expertise of several
disciplines. In the above context NMIT has initiated the practice of
Multidisciplinary Research. The faculty and students of different disciplines will
come together to work towards a common goal. Multiple Center of Excellence in
various areas has been established such as Centers of Small
Satellites/Robotics/Nano Technology, etc. These centers provide research
facilities and training for faculty and students drawn from various disciplines.

Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology 210


NAAC - Self Study for Autonomous Colleges

5. Evidence of Success

 Center for Design & Development and Launching of Small Sattellite


 Center for Design & Development of Vission Based Robots
 Center for Nano Materials & MEMS
 Center for Design & Process Simulation
 Center for Computational Fluid Dynamics
 Electronics/Mechanical /Electrical/Computer science faculty and students are
involved in Small Satellite Program.
 First time in India, under the auspices of the above Center the UG
students from a Consortium of seven prominent colleges of Karnataka
&AndhraPradesh with NMIT as the lead institution had successfully built
India‟s first Pico Satellite “STUDSAT-I” which was launched in to space
through ISRO‟s PSLV-C15 vehicle on 12th July 2010 from Sriharikota.
 STUDSAT team has created a National Record by entering into LIMCA
BOOK of RECORDS 2011 Edition
 NMIT has setup a unique Ground Station to track the Satellites
(NASTRAC) which has obtained an Indian Patent.

 The vision based Robots and their applications require professionals/ engineers
of different disciplines like Mechanical. Electrical, Electronics, Computer
Science. The multidisciplinary group in NMIT developed several vision based
robots for various applications. Students have developed a Pick & Place Robot
and OFC link which are kept as permanent exhibits at Birla Science Center,
Hyderabad

 NMIT has established an interdisciplinary “CENTER FOR NANO MATERIALS


AND MEMS”. Under this center,
 Department of Physics and Electronics Engineering have been granted a
VGST-KFIST Level II sponsored project titled “Fabrication and
Characterization of Polymer Nanocomposites for MEMS Application”
Amount granted is Rs.40 Lakhs.

 Started national MEMS design center in the year 2009, and become as a
nodal center and actively participating in the collecting the designs for the
development of MEMS chip under INUP programme, CeNSE, IISc,
Bangalore in collaboration with NPMASS, India.

 Sumbitted unique inter-desciplinary research proposals with a worth of


Rs. 4.9 crore to national funding agencies of MHRD, DIT, DRDO andf
VGST collaboratively, i.e. Meachnical Engineering, Electronics and
Communication Engineering, Physics and Chemistry with the
institutions/universities viz. IISc, S.V. University, NITK.

Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology 211


NAAC - Self Study for Autonomous Colleges

6. Problems encountered and Resources Required

It is difficult to co – ordinate students drawn from different disciplines to undertake


interdisciplinary research. Since UG students actively participating in R&D work leave
the college after their graduation, continuing the projects undertaken requires financial
support to retain them after their graduation. This requires some additional financial
resources and availability of senior faculty.

Best Practice – II

 Title of the Practice

Decentralization of the academic administration

 Objective of the practice

 The role of teachers in the academic and administrativeprocesses has tobe


decentralized.
 In an autonomous setup the role of individual teacher becomes quite important
since each teacher has to assess and evaluate the performance of students in his
own subject. Since the evaluation of a student unlike in non-autonomous
programs comprises of CIE and SEE components. CIE component would mean
continuous internal evaluation in terms ofMid- term test, quiz, assignments,
seminars, course projects, case studies, etc. and this component is given 50%
weightage. This has led to a better academic appraisal of a student resulting in
better performance exhibited in the academic outcome.

 The context

The faculty needs to be more mature to handle the academic and administrative
responsibility. Each faculty needs to handle sensitive responsibilities like
curriculum design, continuous internal evaluation, examination duties etc.

 The practice

 Institute believes in decentralization of academicresponsibilities. As an


Autonomous college the faculty of the college will have to actively participate
and take responsibilities being members of academic bodies such
 BOS
 BOE
 Academic Council
 Governing Council

Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology 212


NAAC - Self Study for Autonomous Colleges

 Other committees
 Faculty will also have to take responsibilities in the implementation of the Out
come based education and participate in following bodies
 IQAC
 Advisory Committee
 Program coordinator
 Course Coordinator

 Evidence of Success

 Better Administration at the departmental level which is resulted in well defined


curriculum and quality education
 Autonomy to faculty which has resulted in innovative delivery and assessment
methods
 Successful implementation of outcome based education process.

 Problems encountered and Resources Required

Some of the other Best Practices are:

 Students / Staff are encouraged & involved in the R & D Activities


 Seminars/ Workshops are conducted continuously throughout the year to
encourage / to keep updated about the recent trends in the technology
 Students are encouraged to take up internship in R&D Organizations, Defense
Research Laboratories, Reputed industries etc.
 Open Electives across the Departments
 Industry oriented elective subjects
 Value added summer courses with additional credits
 Design and development of a robot is supported by IEEE & CAIR
 Participation of UG students in Research activities
 Full time Research associates are appointed to assist the students in their research
work
 Students are encouraged to present papers in conferences and journals. The
institute pays the registration Fee, TA and DA
 Special Classes are conducted for academically weaker students after working
hours
 Book bank facility for students and additional books are issued for SC & ST
students

The result of the periodic review and the best practices followed, NMIT has achieved the
following distinctions in a short span of 10 years
 Autonomous Status was conferred by UGC/VTU/Govt of Karnataka
 Accredited by NBA
Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology 213
