7.3 Give two Best Practices of the institution
A) Title of the practice: Institutionally Funded Research Program
Goal: Institute Proposes to inculcate research aptitude among teaching faculty
members. Sometimes it is observed that research proposals submitted by junior faculty
members to the national funding agencies are not shortlisted for the same because of
tough competition with senior researchers, limited research credentials in comparison
with researchers at national level etc. Hence to promote faculty members for research,
conduct experimentations accordingly and create their own standing in the research
community the said scheme is designed.
The impact of research in teaching pedagogy is highly emphasized, so there is a need to
create a platform for young teachers to imbibe and implement research perspective in
their teaching that would greatly enhance the quality of education. Funding of research
by national agencies are greatly circumvented by credential, cadre and experience. The
institution aims to remove the disparity in term of fund/resource allocation and
inculcate research aptitude among young teaching faculty members irrespective of
cadre and experience.
44
The practice gives the faculty member an opportunity to undertake research, conduct and
perform experimentation within the institution on his/her area of interest without much
hassles.
1. The Context
Due to tough completion at the national level by institutes vying for fund from various research
funding agencies and the bias in term of credentials, cadre and experience leaving very less
space for the members at the lower strata of the teaching fraternity which stems the purpose
of research from young faculty members at the institute level.
Funding of research is always a bottleneck and not easy to come. Funding from agencies have
procedural approach with inherent delays and formalities which are time consuming.
Challenging Issues:
Funding of research by national agencies are greatly circumvented by credential, cadre
and experience.
Synthesis and aligning of Research outcomes with academic environment
Recognition of Research work
Creating of conducive Environment for participatory, hassle free and focused research
within the institute
2. The Practice
Faculty members of the institute based on their area of interest prepare a research proposal in
a specified format approved by the Research cell of the institute. Research proposals are
further scrutinized by an team of experts comprising senior faculty members under the
Chairmanship of the Principal with experienced senior faculty members.
3. Evidence of Success
Total 11 out of 20 projects submitted by faculty members were sanctioned for funding under
institutionally funded research programme. Total Rs. 15.58 Lakhs were disbursed for these
research projects.
4. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Inspite of good response with significant number of research proposal, limited exposure of
young faculty members results in few quality research work being approved and undertaken.
Infrastructural set up and support for research in upcoming and advanced areas.
B) Title of the practice: In-plant training
45
1. Goal:
The students of the Engineering colleges are exposed to the practical aspects of
Engineering only through the practicals conducted in laboratories. However there is
always a wide gap between the laboratory conditions and actual practices. In view of
enriching the practical knowledge of students and bridging the gap between the
academics and actual industrial practices, Bharati Vidyapeeth University College of
Engineering has introduced unique feature in the curriculum. Under this activity every
student has to undertake In-plant training of 45 days in the relevant industries. Such in-
plant training will provide an industrial exposure to the students as well as to develop
their career in the high tech industrial requirements.
2. The Context:
With the constraint of keeping duration of Engineering programme in accordance with
that of the Universities it was difficult to decide period for In-plant training. After the VI
Semester, normally students get 20 days vacation before commencement of the next
semester. Further, minor changes in number of courses (subjects), it is felt that seventh
semester commenced late by 25 days. This was only possible duration which can be
allotted for In-plant training. Accordingly, number of subjects in seventh semester by
reduced by one and its commencement delayed by 25 days. Thus, In-plant training of 45
days planned in course structure.
This In-plant training starts in June and ends in first week of August. This helps students
make themselves available for the placement session which normally starts from the
month of September.
3. The Practice:
At the commencement of the sixth semester, the coordinator of this activity gets in
touch with various industries located nearby the city and prominent industries from the
distant places as well, requesting them to offer In-plant training to the students of this
institute. On receipt of the consent from the industries, the list of industries is made
available to students to choose from and the data of the interested students is sent to
the concerned industries which gives final nod to the students.
On completion of the theory examination of semester VI, students join the allotted
industry and undertake the training as per the schedule or program prepared by the
industry. Few industries offer some mini projects, whereas few offer a structured
induction training to the students. Students maintain a log book, a specially designed
activity record book, which is duly signed by the training supervisor assigned to him by
the industry. One faculty from the department is also assigned as a training supervisor
from the institute, who is in constant touch with the student. Students keep reporting
the progress on weekly basis through email. This helps in tracking the development of
46
the students and further the problems faced by the students can be addressed
immediately and brought to the notice of the supervisor from the industry.
On successful completion of the training, students join back to institute to complete the
remaining two semesters of the program. He prepares a detailed report of his training
and submits the same to the department. At the end of Semester VII the student
appears for a via voce examination, which helps in assessing the knowledge the student
has gained during the training program. The external examiner appointed for this
assessment is invariably the person from industry.
4. Evidence of Success:
Since introduction of this practice in the institute, it has been observed that the interest
of the students in learning the courses has increased considerably. They could see the
theory happening in the industry which helped in bridging the gap in academics and
industry.
In addition to this the students now being familiar with the industrial environment
could take special efforts on the qualities required for the placement and train
themselves accordingly. This helped in improving the placement scenario of the
institute. The students being under observations of the industry for at least six weeks,
some of the students directly got the job opportunity in the same industry.
5. Problems encountered and resources required:
The major problems faced are related to placing the students in the companies of their
choice. Usually students look upon for the MNCs and demand for such companies is
very high. However, number of students to be admitted for in-plant training per
company are limited. This issue may be sorted out by considering the performance of
the students in the university examinations.
Few of the students do not undertake the training seriously and do not perform to the
expectations of the industry, this affects on the reputation of the institute and in future
these industries deny to offer inplant training to the students. However this number is
very small, and institute needs to take additional efforts to sort out issues of this kind.
Though no special infrastructure or resources are required to undertake this activity,
dedicated efforts from the faculty members are required to faculty to maintain good
rapport with the industries which offer inplant training to the students.
47
B) Title of the practice : Employment Enhancement Programme
1. Goal:
Aim of this practice followed by the institution is to enhance the employability of a
student, thereby increasing the overall placement of the institute. For individuals,
employability depends on the knowledge, skills and abilities they possess, in addition to
the way they present those assets to employers. As such, employability is affected by
both supply-side and demand-side factors which are often outside of an individual's
control.
For getting a high profile job in a well-established company, simply having a good
academic background is not sufficient for a student. In addition to a scholastic record of
his academic, he /she must be strengthened with other capabilities such as analytical
skills, soft skills, interview techniques, group discussions etc. Preparing his own resume
is the beginning towards his placement. All these skills will be inculcated in him after
completion of the Employment Enhancement Programme. Thus for a student, this
practice will open the doors of placement more wide.
2. The Context:
In designing and implementing the practice, certain challenging issues had to be
addressed. Every company that comes for placement has a different requirement from
his employee. These requirements depend upon the type of the company, product of
the company, location of the company and standard of the company. These
requirements also differ discipline wise. Example may be given of company Tata
Consulting Services, which insists on giving specialized training as per their
requirements. The training which they wish to be given to the students may not suit for
some companies in Mechanical or Civil engineering discipline. In that case, special
agency has to be employed separately for the students from Computer, Information
Technology Electronics and Electrical branch and separate agency for Mechanical, Civil
Branches. This creates a challenge of selecting different agencies and matching their
availability with the time slots available to the students. Thus implementing this
practice effectively is a challenging task.
3. The Practice:
This practice involves giving hands-on training to the students on qualitative,
quantitative aptitude, solving questions of general knowledge in stipulated time, having
positive group discussions. The program starts with a Mind Opener Workshop,
consisting of previously asked company questions to give the students a feel of
program. Post this, a student is introduced with various concepts and aspects of all the
above mentioned parameters by the renowned faculty involved in personality
development. To get the instant feel of what he is achieving by these trainings, he is
exposed to various types of quick and short tests and assignments. These assignments
and tests are of similar nature as he has to face during the actual placement. Slowly the
students starts gaining interest in training and confidence in himself. Simultaneously,
48
online Employment Assessibility Tests is conducted for the students to expose and know
them with their abilities at the beginning of the program. Advanced problems are
solved by handling tough questions and minimizing the mistakes. Double /multiple
handling and simple tricks to solve complicated problems are taught and practiced from
the students. Computational skills and solving company specific questions are covered.
Communications skills are taught and practiced from the students.Topic based
questions are given for discussions.
A special session on “ How to write your own resume” is conducted which helps a
student to prepare his own resume in an impressive manner.
Thus this program enhances the employability of all our students, undergraduate and
postgraduate, in order to enable them to compete and flourish in a competitive, fast-
moving knowledge-based economy.
This type of course is conducted at University of Kent ,UK, which has successfully
proved to be a path of success towards employment.In Indian Higher Education, such
programmes are not conducted by the institute and a student has to join private
institutes conducting similar such programs by paying exorbitant fees.That way ,
Employment Enhancement Programme conducted by B.V. College of Engineering
proves to be unique in its nature and is oriented towards better future of its students.
Only one constraint or limitation of this program is that to complete the required
teaching hours of this , a students has to come extra for 2 hours daily in a week or on
Saturdays and Sundays and adjust his schedule accordingly. But our experience tells
that very happily and willingly students are completing this program as they have
identified and realized the fruits of it.
4. Evidence of Success :
Success of this program lies in the results of placement. After implementation of this
program , the employment scenario has changed drastically.
These results indicate that Graduate employers across all industries want more than just a Degree but want graduates who can demonstrate a wide range of skills, attributes and
knowledge, often called ‘employability skills’. This program enhances these skills and increase the employability of students and thus the overall placement of the college.

5. Problems Encountered and Resources Required : Problems Encountered: Preparing the mindsets of students was the problem faced at the initial stage. It is hard to realise and digest for a third year student to take extra effort , spare extra time and study hard ,one year before graduation .It becomes necessary to make them ready for all this and face the challenges of the industry right from third year. Also a students at this stage is in a confused state of mind and not able to decide whether he wants to pursue higher education or wants a job.Proper counselling of the students need to be carried out and a confidence has to be developed in their mind about the program. Resources Required : State of art infra- structure with computer laboratory with internet facility, provision of LCD projector and screen in the classroom are the resources required. Regular help of supporting staff beyond college working hours , appointment of a regular teaching faculty in smooth conduction of the program, support and involvement from heads of the departments in counselling the students are requirements for the successful conduction of the program.
7.4 Contribution to environmental awareness / protection
1. Tree plantation College conducted tree plantation activity in college and Taljai Hill.
