Teaching & Learning Process
Student-centric methods such as experiential learning, participative learning and problem-solving methodologies are used for enhancing learning experiences:
Experiential Learning
Students are taken to Industrial visits and they are encouraged to go for Inplant trainings. Design oriented experiments / mini projects / open ended experiments are included in the laboratory syllabi to improve the design thinking and help students to have an experience on various problems related to the course they are studying. A group of elective / open elective courses are included with practical component so that every student gets an experience of practical learning in the domain of his choice once during the program. 8 weeks Internship is mandatory for every student in R2018, Students are also permitted to do online internships during the pandemic.
During the pandemic virtual laboratories are used for doing experiments wherever possible. Faculty also demonstrated the experiments through recorded videos with necessary explanations.
Participative learning:
Faculty conduct role play / group discussion / case studies/ Quizzes/ Flipped classes in the class rooms apart from conventional teaching methodologies. These methods demand student participation and all the students are invariably involved. Feedback is received from the students through course end survey on the effectiveness of these methods and accordingly taken forward. Students are encouraged to participate in symposiums, conferences, seminars, workshops and activities conducted by associations and various professional society chapters.
Problem Solving Methodologies:
Project based learning helps students to solve the real-world problems as well as apply the concepts learned in theory. Tutorials are conducted for analytical courses during regular classes. PSDS (Programming Skill Development System), Neopat and examly portal are used for developing the programming skill of the students and solving the problems. Inter departmental codethans are being conducted to improve the problem solving /logic building of the students every year.

Mentoring provides students emotional and instrumental support, guidance, encouragement and better environment in college.
