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:

A large number of students with different socio-economic and academic background take admission in
various disciplines. Keeping in mind the diverse background of students, individual faculty members
identify the slow and advanced learners and provide necessary counselling including extra remedial classes
so that the slow learners can come at par with the other classmates. As regards, the advanced learners, extra
coaching and guidance is provided so that they not only excel in their annual examinations but also are
able to compete for competitive examinations including civil and professional services. Advance learners
are also offered scholarships, the amount of the scholarships depends upon the students marks. They also
have opportunity like opting for the IAESTE program which enables them to carry out their projects in
reputed Industries/University across the world. They also get an opportunity to go for Internships in
reputed industries within the country. Further, the University has kept one extra hour from 3.30 pm to 4.30
pm during that time no classes are held but students are free to approach any faculty for any type of
assistance, academic or otherwise. Students who do not perform well in the semester exams are made to
attend remedial classes during the summer vacations, where special care is given to each student because
of the small batch size.

University-research collaboration is an important area for IQAC to improve research and development
competitiveness.

Objective:

1. to facilitate centre of excellence for collaborative research with external partners.

2. to collaborate with reputed National and International agencies for setting up advanced technology labs.

3. to undertake research projects individually/ jointly with National and International agencies.

Context: The University has been offering doctoral programs in several key disciplines and requires
necessary infrastructure, labs and technical support. It is therefore necessary to collaborate with institutions
of repute to undertake setting of advanced technology labs for quality research.

The Practice: The IQAC has been holding meetings from time to time to discuss and deliberate on issues
for setting up advanced technology labs. Several letters were written to National Institutions to come
forward for setting up such labs in the University.

Evidence of Success: The University has been successful in establishing a formal relationship with ISRO
(Indian Space and Research Organization) which led to grant of permission for technical support to design
‘Advanced Technological Research Lab’. The ISRO in turn has already provided some equipments to
install the lab.

Problems Encountered: The University came into existence only five years back. The IQAC cell has
also been recently setup. Inspite of all this odds, the IQAC has been able to make a partnership with world-
known space organization, ISRO for assisting it in identifying accuracy of Indian Navigational satellite
system.

Self Study Report of JECRC UNIVERSITY

c) Anti Ragging Declarations (contact person’s name with phone numbers)

d) Event schedules

Two examples of institutional reviews and implementation of teaching learning reforms facilitated by the
IQAC

1. Reduction in time interval between the date of last examination and result declaration: The IQAC
in its meeting held on 20th December 2017 observed that there is a huge gap between the date of last
examination and result declaration for a particular semester. The self pointed out existing gap ranges
between 41 to 44 days. The cell felt that in order to make use of latest automation system, this period
should be reduced to about 38 days from the Semester ending 2017. Accordingly the Controller of
Examination has been advised to strictly adhere to this important recommendation of IQAC. The actual
analysis of this recommendation would be made know once the results for the examination ending
December 2017 is declared by the University.

2. Digitalization of Every Faculty Member’s Lectures: In order to make learning more interactive, the
IQAC in its meeting held on 20th December 2017 had recommended that all the faculty members should
get their lectures digitalized in the in-house Media Lab, so that, the students specially those who couldn’t
attend a particular lecture in the class room situations for obvious reasons can be largely benefitted. More
so in an era of ICT regime, faculty needs to be well equipped in the dynamics of modern audio-visual aids.
During a couple of months every faculty member has already got two lessons recorded in the media lab
and they are expected to complete this assignment by the end of next semester (June 2018).

7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:

Page 74/83 28-02-2018 03:11:17


Self Study Report of JECRC UNIVERSITY

Rainwater harvesting is just the latest of the many water conservation measures the University employs.
Concerted efforts to reduce water consumption on campus have been ongoing since its inception.

20 pits measuring approximately 10 feet have been constructed to collect and conserve the rain water near
to all the blocks of the campus. These 20 pits are connected to the central well measuring approximately 20
feet depth to store the water whenever they overflow during rainy season. The water is recycled by using
advanced technologiesand used for different purposes like watering plants, wash rooms of hostels and
other blocks of the campus.

In addition to rainwater harvesting, utilization of the drip irrigation process will help to further conserve
water as it is much more efficient than traditional irrigation. Unlike a sprinkler system that sprays water
across the top of foliage, a drip irrigation system nourishes plants from their roots. This requires less water
and allows for targeted applications that eliminate runoff and over-watering plants, which can contribute to
mold related diseases. This technology is already used in all of the planting beds along Commonwealth
Avenue as part of the University’s active effort to conserve water.

7.1.7 Green Practices

maintain plastic-free campus. Consorted efforts have been made to go for a paperless office. The campus
combines thoughtful layout and landscaping with trees and plants to create a perfect learning ecosystem.

Self Study Report of JECRC UNIVERSITY

Response:

Yes, the University organizes national festivals and anniversaries of the great Indian personalities. Apart
from organizing the Republic Day, Indepence Day and Gandhi Jayanti, the University aspires to organizes
such other memorable events of National interests.

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, the University has had taken a small initiative of resolving the
sanitation problem and waste management in nearby villages. Volunteers and kids of Zarurat started the
campaign with the cleaning of University’s premises which lasted till 2 hours.The team conducted a
workshop in a village to tell the main objectives of the campaign to the villagers. They spreaded public
awareness about the drawbacks of open defecation and promoted latrine use. They also presented a skit
which covered the topics like elimination of open defecation and changing people’s mindset towards
proper sanitation use.

On the Occassion of Children's Day - The Birth anniverary of Pt. Jawahar lal Nehru was celebrated in
the presence of Sh. Pooran Chand, Sh.. Amit Agarwal, Mr. Vineet Agarwal, Mr. J.K. Sharma and other
dignitaries. The event contained performances by children followed by certificate and cloth distribution to
the under priviledged students of the local community.

auxiliary functions

Response:

The University operates with integrity in its financial, academic, personnel, and auxiliary functions; it
establishes and follows policies and processes for fair and ethical behavior on the part of its governing
board, administration, faculty, and staff. The University presents itself clearly and completely to its
students and to the public with regard to its programs, requirements, faculty and staff, costs to students,
control, and accreditation relationships. The BOM of the University is sufficiently autonomous to make
decisions in the best interest of the institution and to assure its integrity. The University is committed to
freedom of expression and the pursuit of truth in teaching and learning.

The conduct of the University and its faculty, staff, and administrators is ethical and responsible. A focus
on integrity and ethics can be found in established institutional policies, practices, and procedures. The
BoM's deliberations reflect priorities to preserve and enhance the institution. The governing board reviews
and considers reasonable and relevant interests of the institution’s internal and external constituencies

to the administration and expects faculty to oversee academic matters

7.2 Best Practices

Page 79/83 28-02-2018 03:11:19


Self Study Report of JECRC UNIVERSITY

7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)

Response:

The University has been endeavoring to a full-proof transparent evaluation system so that students have
little grouse in regard to any discrimination in the evaluation process.

Objective: To evolve and implement a transparent evaluation system.

Practice: After smooth conduct of examinations and evaluation, thereof by evaluations, the respective class
teacher hands over answer books to the students concerned with the objectives of verifying correctness of
the marks awarded for each question, answers left un-attended, if any, and a student demanding higher
marks by justifying the correctness of the answer. Once the concerned teacher is convinced, the marks are
revised and the student concerned signs the answer booklet. Thereafter the concerned teacher uploads the
marks on ERP for declaration of the final result. Such a practice has pared the way for complete
transparency and fair-play in the evaluation system.

Evidence: Transparency in evaluation system has been largely hailed by the student’s community. During
the last years, marks of the students have increased leading to sometimes up gradation of failure to pass
and/or change in GPA/Grade.

Problems: No problems have been encountered in the smooth implementation of the best practice except
that the concerned teacher has to put in extra time and energy to convince the affected student(s) in
pointing out the mistakes leading to award of lesser marks for a particular question.

Best Practice 2

Title of the practice – “100% Placement for Internship”

Objectives of the practice – To provide industry exposure to students at no extra cost and explore
opportunities to provide stipend to students during internship.

The Context – Internship in the final semester in most of the programs provides students with practical
exposure and expertise that can help them get settled in their first job well. Students may learn relevant or
inter disciplinary fields, based on their areas of interest and expertise to fulfill the minimum academic
credit as per university curriculum guidelines.

Students gain work experience, develop skills, make connections, learn about a field, assess their interest
and abilities as well as stipends though this internship. A paid internship is particularly beneficial, because
it enables economically advantage for those students who need fund for their own schooling. An internship
allows that job to facilitate a positive future.

The Practice – Internship is a unique practice in itself because it is part of curriculum and is regularly
monitored and evaluated strictly by a team of experts from industry and internal internship guide (assigned

Page 80/83 28-02-2018 03:11:19


Self Study Report of JECRC UNIVERSITY

for each student’s intern). The University focus on paid internships which has resulted in 25 internship
drives in the recent years. Through these drives the some of the students are placed in the companies for
the internship with stipends.

Evidence of Success - 100% students placed for internships in the year 2016 and 2017 where not a single
student has paid for internship. 34% students got stipend paid internships with stipends ranging from INR
5,000 to INR 20,000 per month. After the internship students may get jobs with the 20% extra salary rather
than a regular (non-industry-intern) joining.

Problems encountered and Resources required – The Internship Directorate and TPO have a regular
contact with corporate sector for inviting the companies in the University, at times there is a slight
difficulty in getting a well established company with stipend for students.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness


7.3.1 Describe/Explain the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priority
and thrust

Response:

University distinctively of its vision, priority and trust, engages students towards emerging technology in
the domain of space engineering through various audio-video lectures, sessions, workshops, projects and
demonstrations (in-campus and off-campus) to offer numerous opportunities for exciting careers that
impact the nation and the world.

To address the engineering challenges of future technologies, the University has identified important
strategic thrusts. Research in small satellites and space-based sensing seeks to enable resilient airborne and
space-based communications, reconnaissance, and position/navigation/timing (PNT), including during
contested and wartime scenarios.

The University has towards this mission, entered into a MoU with ISRO (Space Application Centre, Indian
Space Research Organization, Department of Space, and Government of India) for Indian Regional
Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) Navigation Receiver Field Trial and Data Collection.

Important Events conducted at the University:

Exciting and inspiring documentaries on such topics like Mars Orbiter Mission,
Chandrayaan-1, Benefits of Space Technology, SRE-1, IRNSS, etc.

Concluding Remarks :
JECRC University feels privileged to present the Self Study Report (SSR) for assessment and accreditation, to
the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).

This SSR would underscore the fact that the institution shares the core values defined by NAAC and this would
emerge throughout as we endorse them- both in letter and spirit. The University remains passionate to make it a
coveted destination for higher learning and research.

The University has made several attempts to attain high standards of the academic maturity with initiative to
integrate the rigorous training programmes to increase the employability and entrepreneurial skills of the
students and scholars. The University plans to strengthen and expand the R & D culture in the campus so that
the teaching learning process should become more innovative. The faculty and student should develop the
capability for developing the product and services and the technology transfer to the industry.

Before moving to the final analysis for assessment and accreditation, we would like to thank the NAAC and the
Appraisal Team. We are sanguine that with the advice and recommendations from NAAC, we would be able to
bridge the gap(s).
