Comprehensive Academic System

To achieve the goal of imparting quality education and also to instill confidence in the minds of students, the whole edifice of the academic system is based on the tripod of (I) Attendance, (ii) TeachingLearning & Counselling Process and (iii) Academic Integrity.

Teaching-Learning & Counselling Process

Academy of Technology regulates the teaching-learning & counselling process using the following comprehensive methods: Orientation Programme for Educators | Course Delivery in Comprehensive Manner with Proper Teaching Plan | Attendance Monitoring & Improvement Measures | Counselling & Mentoring Weaker and Wayward Students | Continuous Assessment and Appraisal.

Attendance
Regular class attendance is fundamental to the orderly acquisition of knowledge. In Academy, utmost importance is given to regular class attendance which is a responsibility and a prerequisite of engineering education. Students should recognize the advantages of regular class attendance, accept it as a personal responsibility and apprise themselves of the consequence of poor attendance. Minimum 75% attendance in all papers is mandatory for appearing in University Examination as well as in Internal Examination.

Academic Integrity
Every individual student, faculty and staff of Academy of Technology believes that unfair examination system, whether it is home assignment, internal examination or university examination, is the ultimate violation of academic integrity. It is an already established fact that our examination system which is conducted with utmost integrity makes our students hardworking and motivated, and thus enables them to get right placement and/ or opportunity of higher studies through competitive examinations.

AOT's endeavor is to provide maximum possible number of campus interview opportunities to the students with equal emphasis in IT and Core engineering placement and prolonged placement support even after graduation and we have been successful in this mission from the very 1st batch. Since 2007, an enviable percentage of AOTs students have been recruited by 155 renowned corporate houses (IT: 65 & Core: 90) during campus placement.

Placement 2012 (as on April, 2012)

Academy of Technology has been accredited by Capgemini, Tata Consultancy Services and also Tech Mahindra [Grade A engineering college] for Campus Placement. This year AOT witnessed remarkable campus recruitment by Tata Consultancy Services. Capgemini and Tech Mahindra have recruited maximum number of 2012 batch students compared to any other college affiliated to WBUT which has enabled the placement graph to touch a new height. Total 23 IT and Core Engineering Companies have already recruited 2012 batch students with average annual CTC of more than 3 lacs per annum. Results of a few companies are yet to be declared. Many companies are in the pipe line.
(Note: First batch of Mechanical Engineering Students will graduate in 2013).
