2.2 Catering to Student Diversity

2.2.1 The institution assesses the learning levels of the students, after admission and organises special
programs for advanced learners and slow learners
Response:
M S Ramaiah Institute of Technology has students from other states in India and countries with different
backgrounds. The institution assesses the learning levels of the student right from the time of admission to
the institute through a structured orientation programme. The institute has multiple activities to support the
needs of advanced and slow learners. Some of these activities are events conducted for all students on a
regular basis, or they are conducted in a need-based manner for specific students.
Bridge Courses:
Every year, before the commencement of the regular classes, identified students mainly foreign nationals
are trained in mathematics, physics and English language courses. A good number of classes have been
conducted and assessed for their readiness to the selected programme. The lateral entry (Diploma)
students’ must take a bridge courses in mathematics and social sciences.
Slow Learners:
Slow learners are also identified during the course of the semester based on their performance in the
Internal Assessment tests. They are assisted in the following ways:
Mentoring: each student is assigned a “Proctor” who is his academic advisor for the duration of his
studies. The Proctor can see, in his login, the marks and attendance of their students during the
course of the semester. When the marks are below the expected levels, as a first measure, the
Proctor counsels their students to improve performance.
Remedial Classes: When test marks are below the eligibility level in a course, the department
schedules remedial classes to help the student understand the subject better. Different departments
have criteria to detect slow learners, based on the individual difficulty of the subject and prior
experience.
Advanced Learners
Advanced Learners are identified during the semester for different courses based on their academic
performance. To challenge them to their fullest potential, additional activities are provided, a sample of
which is listed below:
Page 33/117 27-12-2019 05:03:55

Certificate courses are conducted in topics of the domain for fast learners, allowing for industry
scale application level knowledge to be imparted to the students. For example, the Department of
Electronics and Instrumentation conducted certificate course in NI Labview during July – Aug
2017, July – Aug 2018
Students are offered seats in prestigious summer schools conducted within the college: for example,
in the “Internship Program in Technology Supported Education”, conducted during 2014 in
collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University.
Vocational courses are run by the department of Computer Science and Engineering for students
from all departments who are interested in furthering their knowledge in industry oriented domains
such as Web Development, Android App Development, Java Programming, Data Analytics etc.
Students’ are encouraged to take MOOCs courses to enhance their learning ability.
In addition, due to the multi-lingual population of the students in the Institute, coming from various socio-
economic backgrounds can make use of a dedicated Language Lab.
More sample details about these initiatives for fast and slow learners is available as additional information.

2.3 Teaching- Learning Process

2.3.1 Student centric methods, such as experiential learning, participative learning and problem
solving methodologies are used for enhancing learning experiences
Response:
Various departments in the institute have adopted techniques to improve overall student learning levels,
such that it is suitable for their curricula. These include items such as software simulations for theoretical
concepts, poster presentation sessions, guest lectures, mini-projects, tutorials etc. Some specific cases of
these elements across departments are listed below.
Experiential learning: Project Based Learning, Mini-Projects, Modern Tool Usage
Project – based learning:
Students are encouraged to carry out a real time project in collaboration with industry or research
institutions. All the projects are exhibited under one roof as “PRADARSHANA” every year which are
evaluated by experts from industry and institute. This provides a good exposure for the students to interact
with industry personnel and encourage for a start-up culture.
A sample list of items and samples of the details of the students centric methods adopted is available in the
document attached.
Mini-Projects
Many programmes across the institution involve students in a Mini-Project as part of the continuous
internal evaluation (CIE) component of the course. This provides a practical introduction to the theoretical
concepts at an application level, while also developing soft-skills, such as team-work and project
Page 35/117 27-12-2019 05:04:01

management skills, essential for a successful career in industry.
Modern Tools
Most of the programmes uses software simulations to supplement the theory courses and the students are
encouraged to use open source softwares. Along with the open source softwares institution has many
simulation softwres such as, MATLAB, SIMULINK, MULTISIM, ASPENHYSYS, ANSYS, COMSOL,
PSCAD etc.
Participative learning: MOOCs, Case Studies
MOOCs
Students are encouraged to take MOOCs courses to supplement the regular teaching. The weightage for
the same is given in Continuous Internal Evaluation. Students are regularly taking courses from NPTEL,
SWAYAM and MIT course ware.
Case Study Analysis and Discussion
Management programme has introduced case study as a compulsory topic in the regular curriculum. At the
end of the course, student must present a case study along with proper report.
Problem solving methodologies: Tutorial Sessions
Tutorial session have been inculcated into courses where there is a significant amount of quantitative work
required. In these courses, separate tutorial sessions are scheduled in the timetable, and additional faculties
are allotted with the instructor during these sessions.
Sample details of these items are available in the additional information file.

2.3.4 Preparation and adherence to Academic Calendar and Teaching plans by the institution
Response:
An Academic Calendar is designed to streamline the activities of the institute through the duration of the
term. The Academic year is divided into three semesters, Even and Odd consisting of 14 weeks each and a
supplementary semester of 7 weeks during the summer. The calendar includes important information such
as Internal test dates, last dates for registration and withdrawal, final examination dates etc.
Once the academic calendar is ready, the lesson plans for the subjects offered during that semester is
designed. The lesson plan contains class-by-class topics that are to be covered, encompassing the syllabus.
The lesson plan is also designed taking into account the Course Outcomes, thereby allocating appropriate
amount of time for each topic, while restricting each unit to almost equal number of classes. A teaching
diary is generated, where the actual dates for the topics in the lesson plan are listed, taking into account
declared holidays and other items in the academic calendar. The teaching diary is a live document during
the course of the semester, and faculty regularly updates the diary during the semester by syncing it with
their attendance registers. In this way, a continuous track is kept of the progress of the content delivery
process during the course of the semester.
Page 37/117 27-12-2019 05:04:04

A fortnightly report that is filled by the faculty, where the number of planned classes is compared with the
number of classes actually taken in that period. If there are any deviations in the teaching diary, e.g., due to
guest lectures, industrial visits etc., the faculty has to note that in the teaching diary, and make up for the
class within that fortnightly period.
There are also some deadlines which are to be followed for completing Internal Evaluations of
projects/assignments etc – they have to be completed and evaluated prior to the final internal, so the
student can get an idea of the marks she/he already has in that particular subject/lab. Finally, during the last
week of classes, deadlines are announced by the Chief Proctor for the finalization of the Internal marks
component ( 50 marks in theory/lab ), which is then “frozen” prior to the last day of the term.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes for all programs offered
by the Institution are stated and displayed on website and communicated to teachers and students
Page 43/117 27-12-2019 05:04:09

Response:
Programme Outcomes (POs) are the statements which describe the qualities/competencies of a graduate
acquired throughout the programme. POs are derived from the graduate attributes, which vary from UG to
PG programmes. All the POs are defined based on the knowledge, skill and attitude components. The
statements of POs are defined by the National Board of Accreditation for Engineering, MBA and MCA
programmes. Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs) for UG programme explain the competency of the
programme which are derived from the core curriculum. The maximum number of PSOs are limited to 3
to 4.
Course outcomes (COs) describe the competencies which will be gained by the student through the course.
The course outcomes are defined for all theory subjects, laboratory and projects. Number of COs can vary
from 3 to 6 depending the course content. COs are defined based on the Bloom’s Taxonomy by the course
coordinator. The COs are mapped to appropriate programme outcomes with a proper weightage from 1 to
3. Project work is mapped to majority of the programme outcomes.
POs, PSOs and COs are displayed in the following:
College website: http://www.msrit.edu
The syllabus of all programs offered by the department is uploaded on the College website which includes
Vision, Mission, POs, PSOs and COs of various courses of the curriculum.
Curriculum books
The curriculum books are issued every year to all the students of the programme which includes Vision,
Mission, POs, PSOs and COs of various courses.
Classrooms
Boards containing Vision, Mission, POs and PSOs are displayed in all the classrooms and laboratories.
Vision, Mission, POs and PSOs are displayed in all the departmental notice boards
Vision, Mission, POs and PSOs of programmes offered by the department are displayed in the
HOD’s Chamber
Vision, Mission, POs and PSOs of programmes offered by the department are displayed in the
Faculty rooms
Orientation program: Students of first year and their parents are made aware of Vision and Mission
of the Institute, Department, Program Educational Objectives, outcome based education (OBE) and
accreditation during the induction Program. Students and parents are also made aware of their roles
and responsibilities in achieveing vision of the Department.
There are multiple ways through which the POs and PSOs are made public to the stakeholders; the primary
one is publishing the POs and PSOs on the Departmental websites. For example:
http://msrit.edu/department/biotechnology.html
http://msrit.edu/department/cse.html

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are
evaluated by the institution
Response:
The Departments have designed the curriculum taking into consideration all the POs and PSOs. The
curriculum strongly maps to all the POs and PSOs. The course outcomes (COs) are mapped with POs and
PSOs with weightage (3 – high, 2-moderate and 1-Low) for the conformity. The COs are designed
considering the Bloom’s Taxonomy which describes the competencies gained through the course. The
POs and PSOs represent the competency gained through the programme. The mapping of COs to POs and
PSOs represents the contribution of courses towards the attainment of POs and PSOs of the programme.
The COs are measured using direct and indirect assessment techniques. The Direct Assessment includes
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE), Semester End Examination (SEE), project, seminar, quiz, case
study, etc. The Indirect assessment is carried out through course end surveys.
The CIE consisting of internal assessment questions, quizzes, assignments and laboratory courses are
mapped to COs. The COs in turn are mapped to the POs. A process similar to CIE mapping is followed
for SEE. Rubrics are developed for the project, seminar, case study and internships. The course end
survey questions are framed by the course coordinator to find the attainment level of course. The
weightage of components for CO attainment is 40% for CIE, 40% for SEE and 20% for indirect
assessment. The course wise PO/PSO attainments are calculated based on the weightage assigned for the
CO to PO/PSO mapping. The direct PO/PSO attainment from CO is calculated based on the number of
courses mapped. The overall attainment of PO/PSO for the programme is calculated by assigning 80%
weightage to the PO attainment through CO and 20% weightage to the indirect assessment methods such
as alumni survey, employer survey and graduate survey. The surveys are designed on a scale of 5 by the
programme assessment committee. The assessment of surveys is done by weighted average method. The
attainment level of CO, PO and PSO are compared with target level set by the course coordinator and
programme assessment committee. The analysis of the attainments is carried out by the Programme
Assessment Committee. If the attainment level is below the target, the committee suggests possible
modifications/improvements in the teaching-learning methodologies; assessment and curriculum changes.
The detailed plan of action helps in further attainment of POs/PSOs.
PO attainment samples are avaialble in additional information link.

The institution maintains complete transparency in its financial, academic, administrative and auxiliary
functions.
Financial Transparency: The institute maintains complete transparency in its financial matters. The
Governing Council, the highest administrative authority of the institute meets twice a year. All the major
decisions such as new facility creation, budgetary allocation for the departments and review of expenditure
statements are made. The expenses up to 5 lakhs must be approved by Principal, Chief of Finance and
Chief Executive. The expenses above 5 lakhs must have approval from the Management. The procedure
for approval and expenditure is well established and documented.
Academic functions also maintain complete transparency. The department is given full freedom to design
its own curriculum for various courses. This is done with the help of DAB (Department Advisory Board)
Page 109/117 27-12-2019 05:04:54

which consists of senior faculty of department, industry expert and one academic expert from outside the
institute. The suggestions regarding designing of the curriculum made by the DAB will be put in forth of
BOS (Board of studies), which is a higher body and the approval is obtained by BOS. The
recommendations of BOS will be approved by academic council, which is the highest body concerned with
academics. After this, steps are taken to implement the recommendations. The HOD will instruct the
faculty to design the curriculum according to the above approvals. The faculty will do as instructed which
shows that the entire academic function is fully transparent.
Administrative function-complete transparency is maintained in administrative function also. Any

administrative decision is taken only after deliberation in the meeting of department heads & section heads.
The decisions taken will be reviewed if any faculty member/HOD gives any opinion which is deviating
from the original decision. Standard operating procedures are established & followed for purchase & other
functions.
Auxiliary functions-The same holds good for auxiliary functions too. The auxiliary functions may be
library function, canteen function etc., to name a few.
7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)
Response:
Best Practice -1
Implement outcome based education in Undergraduate and postgraduate programs
Objectives of the Practice
a. Effective Implementation of outcome based education for improving graduate attributes and to get
accreditation from National Board of Accreditation.
b. Change of accreditation from output based model to Outcome model was a major challenge to change
our teaching learning, assessment methodology and enhancement of outreach activities.
Context
M S Ramaiah Institute Technology is 57-Year-old institution with highly experienced faculty. Changing
the mind-set of the faculty from output model system to outcome based model was a major challenge.
Establishing the robust assessment procedures, feedback collection and assessment from stake holders and
enhancing the stakeholder involvement friom curriculum design to assessment was a big challenge.
Practice
With reference to the implementation of the outcome based education the main constraint was to train the
faculty to understand the concept of Vision, Mission, Program educational objectives, Program Outcomes
Course Outcomes and mapping of the same. Modifying the curriculum by involving the stakeholders
Page 110/117 27-12-2019 05:04:55

(including industry) and collection of feedback from stakeholders and summarizing the same with
reference to curriculum changes. Assessment of projects and seminar are based on well-established rubrics.
These rubrics bring the transparency and making the students to understand the process of project
implementation and seminar presentation to improve written and oral communication. MSRIT conducts an
annual open day project exhibition called Pradarshana, the goal of which is to encourage the students to
present their work to the general public and industry. Developing customized software for assessment of
course outcomes and program outcomes by direct and indirect assessment was a major challenge because
of the multiple constraints involved in the assessment methodology. Establishing the program assessment
committee in all the programmes and training the faculty to access the attainments and thereafter changing
the curriculum, teaching learning methodology based on the fixed targets and attainment levels was a
major challenge.
Evidence of Success
· All the Undergraduate and eligible postgraduate programmes accredited by National board of
Accreditation.
· Five Programmes Accredited with more than 750 marks helped us in getting 10 Years UGC
Approval.
· Complete Examination, admission, Proctorial process and outcome based assessment has been made
computerized.
· MSRIT received Rs. 30Lakhs under Maragadarshan project from AICTE to mentor 10 young
institutions across Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
· Curriculum is up-to-date, relevant to industry requirements and has resulted in improvement in

placements.

Practice
Deploying the research culture in the institution, instilling a research culture to improve the institutional
environment, providing the required infrastructure support system, getting the grants from the various
funding agencies for sustaining was a major challenge. Possibilities for collaboration, locally, regionally,
and globally was a major concern for the institution. Previously MSRIT had only 25% of the faculty with
PhD with prime importance given to teaching. To change the mind-set and instill research culture, faculty
with M.Tech qualification were deputed to leading institutions for workshops, encouraged to
publish/present the papers in national and international peer reviewed conferences and to register for PhD.
All departments are recognised as research centres from Visvesvaraya Technological university. Faculty
with PhD were encouraged to apply for external funding. Incentive scheme for Quality publications were
introduced based on SJR Ranking to promote Quality publications in peer reviewed journals. Based on Q
ranking incentives of Rs. 25000 to Rs. 5000 were introduced. Rs 10000 stipend is paid by the institute for
full time research scholars. Seed Money for projects up to Rs.500000 is introduced. Institute has
established two centers of excellence in Imaging technologies in collaboration with Philips, Boeing and
IGCAR, Centre for Advanced manufacturing process was established in collaboration with Boeing.

required good resource persons and time consuming. Training must be a continuous process to train all
newly recruited faculty.
2. Developing tailor made software in collaboration with the supplier (E-Sutra) was a big challenge as
we have variety of assessment methodologies.
3. Improving facilities for research and establishing separate research and development centers require
huge financial commitment.
4. Establishing the Collaboration with Industry is very difficult and it is still ongoing process.
5. Getting funding from Govt. and Non Govt. agencies is becoming very difficult year by year.
6. Admission of Quality of the PhD and Post Graduate students is big challenge
Best Practice-3
