Research opportunities are expanded to post graduate and under graduate students
through the research scholars pursuing Ph. D in various subjects in the departments
recognized as centers for pursuing research.
Due to the availability of various professional societies, opportunities are available for
planning and execution of interdisciplinary projects

CHALLENGES
As top ranking students enroll through counselling conducted by Anna University,
more chances are there for them to get admission in medical colleges during second
and third medical counselling depending on the vacancy position which leads to the
non filling of seats
Difficulties in acquiring highly competent young faculty members due to high
demand in IT industries
Increase in more number of engineering colleges in and around the city leads to the
challenge of attracting good quality students and faculty
Implementation of the changes in the education policies as directed by the
Government and affiliated University, time to time

in association with NIZHAL , an NGO to save trees in the Chennai city.
Plantation
No trees in the campus are cut for any reason. This policy ensures the complete greenery in
the campus with more than 700 trees . New trees are planted every year and the water required for
gardening is made available through water treatment plants.
Hazardous waste management
No stagnation of sewage waste. Proper flushing of sewage flow out of campus is taken care
without fail and ensured periodically.
E Waste management:
A committee is available to identify the scrap items after every stock verification. The
e-waste generated is given to the authorized dealers who purchase the scrap and reuse the useful
components. The electronic and electrical items are given to the students to dismantle and
reassemble, that helps practical oriented learning. News paper cuttings of hazards of e- wastes are
also frequently displayed in the notice boards.

7.2. INNOVATIONS
7.2.1. Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have created a
positive impact on the functioning of the college.
7.2.1.1 Focus on top ranking students:
Mentoring of top ranking students at regular interval during the semester has resulted in the
increase in university rank holders. A faculty has been allotted to mentor a group of 20 students
from each year. Analysis is done on various aspects namely the improvement in GPA or decrement
in GPA, difficulties during university examination preparation, challenges during the existing
semester and their expectations. Top students are given coaching for preparing themselves to meet
the competitive exams like GATE, IES. Academically excelling students are motivated by
awarding them during every academic year.
7.2.1.2 Focus on weak students:
Academically weak students are given special coaching. Within 15 days from the start of
the semester, first class test is being scheduled and the slow learners are identified based on their
performance in the test. Special classes from 4 pm to 5 pm are scheduled where they are trained
with the analytical aspects and on difficult topics. Counseling is given for emotionally weak
students.
Slow learners are given special coaching class with one-to-one interaction between staff
and student at the end of the semester. The special coaching in the name of task force is conducted
to facilitate slow learners for clarifying their doubts. Tests on important tests are conducted in the
coaching class, duly evaluated and feedback given to the student highlighting the weak areas and
the ways of presentation.
Before the examinations, while going through the no due procedures, students are ensured
that they are academically convincing to get good score in the examinations. Students who have
got poor marks are made to study all important questions, write tests, and then only no dues are
cleared. Apart from the special class and slow learner coaching, additional classes are taken for

students who have arrears. Students are refreshed with the arrear subject topics. All classes focus
on improving the pass percentage thereby paving way for improving the college ranking.
7.2.1.3. Student peer monitoring:
Quality Forum Circle of India a forum to resolve the issues on various aspects and to motivate
the students to perform better. Various office bearers are selected from all the departments. Class
committee meetings are conducted regularly where in the members are from top ranking students,
average students and below average students.They are also encouraged to carry out their final year
project as a team of both categories.
7.2.1.4.Final year projects:
Nearly fifty percent of the students belonging to all departments are made to carry over
their project work in industries. Students are given opportunities to go on internships and thereby
extending their projects in those industries. This helps them in getting industrial exposure. It also
helps in core industries placement.
7.2.1.5 Faculty Qualification and Specialization:
Faculty members are qualified with either PG or Ph.D. Faculty members are recruited with
excellent academic records from reputed institutions. They are recruited based on the requirement
of specialization at the time of recruitment. This practice ensures the availability of faculty
expertise in all subject domains. In order to improve the research activities and to improve the
research based learning, faculty with higher qualification and with rich research experience are
recruited in all the departments. Due to the availability of the same, three core departments and
three supporting departments are approved as nodal centre for pursuing research.

Self Study Report - 2014

Context:
As an affiliated institution, students are required to follow curriculam based syllabus. The

college has no control over the syllabus and the revisions in syllabus are made by the university.
Due to the rapid development in technology field, fast updates are required mandatorily. The
awareness and acquaintance were not sufficient for an efficient professional, if it is restricted with
the curriculam alone. Value added courses serve as a platform to bridge the gap between the
university curriculum and the industrial need thus upgrading students knowledge.

Eminent

resource persons from distinguished organizations help students extending need support. The
awareness on the state of the art is provided by the resource persons. This enhances the placement
opportunity for students as they get updated with the current trends in the industry. Challenging
interviews are faced by students confidentally as they get sound knowledge in the courses they
learn.
3.

The Practice
Value added courses like AUTOCADD, Ansys and Solidworks are provided to Faculty of

Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering students which helps them to establish
themselves in designing opportunities. Faculty of Information and Communicaiton Engineering
students are facilitated with value added courses in various areas like Networking, High level
language and Internet programming, Image processing and Databases. Every department is
encouraged to organize a course each semester for all students. Eminent resource persons are
invited from external organizations. Internal teaching staff are also encouraged to go for
certifications and thereby support to conduct the training sessions. Hands-on training sessions are
encouraged accompanying theory classes to give practical knowledge for the students. Along with
learning the current trends, students get expertise in trouble shooting also as they are given more
practical sessions.

4.

Evidence of Success

1.

As students get trained in the requirements needed by the industry, placements are

increased by the value addition.


2. The number of students getting projects in industries are increasing year after year as
they get sound technical skills which is demanded by the industry.
3. Ms. Madhuri, final year ECE has been selected as Labview ambassador by National
Instruments, Bangalore in 2013. She is one among four students selected in India
during 2012-2013.
5. Ms.Sowmya, EIE has been selected as Google ambassador , by Google in the year
2012-2013.
6. The quality of projects done by students has been increased due to the intense training
given in value added courses.
7. Students receive Best Project award and Best Outgoing Student award by TCS.
8. A project completed by a batch of students of EIE won best project award by ISTE
during 2013-2014.

Self Study Report - 2014

6. Problems encountered and resources required


Since the experts handling various courses are called from industries and other
organizations, the consistency of the arrival of the experts is quite demanding. Since all the
students are made to attend the value added course, slow learning students are unable to manage
with the regular curriculum aspect of learning. Adequate time management is necessary to balance
the regular curriculum and the tests for value added courses. The allotment of lecture
halls/auditorium becomes challenging as all departments are made to conduct these courses.
There is high need to purchase latest hardwares and softwares thus establishing hitech lab
to conduct the courses. It is difficult for the student members to attend the value added classes
during internal assessments. In order to spend more time after regular college hours in the
laboratory requires transport facilities. Conductive time for executing the plan of activities is a
challenging factor for the institute for encouraging the learning of this kind.

Practice II:
1.

Title of the Practice:

Constitution and follow up of Functional Committee where in there are 43 committees are
functioning effectively to ensure quality implementation of the procedures.
2.

Goal:
1.

To decentralize the decision making

2.

To ensure effectiveness in teaching-learning process through regular academic


audits.

3.

To improve the professional society activities

4.

To maintain discipline and related activities.

5.

To associate with Anna University (affiliated University) press and media coverage.

6.

To offer assistance for Top ranking students and slow learners monitoring, through
result analysis and data base management.

7.

To conduct programmes for faculty and student development.

National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)

8.

Self Study Report - 2014

To imbibe interest and leadership qualities among students in Extra Curricular and
Co-curricular activities through III cell, ED cell, NSS, Energy club, YRC, Rotaract,
sports, Tamil mandram, Science Association, Maths Colloquium, Cultural
Committee, Literary and Fine Arts.

9.

To address the Grievance through Grievance Redressal Committee.

10.

To enhance the research activities and image building of institution.

3. Context
As the strength of the college rapidly grows, it was highly challenging for the Head of the
institution to carryout all the tasks efficiently. Hence the decentralization of the powers in planning
and implementation of the executing procedures results in the practice Functional Committee.
The time involved in focusing on all the activities is minimized and effectively implemented if the
responsibilities are equally distributed.
4. The Practice:
Each functional Committee is headed by a senior professor and a team of faculty members
from each department. The responsibility of each committee is assigned by the principal and hence
the members device a set of objectives to attain the target. The practice is formulated at the
beginning of every academic year. The targets and responsibilities are assigned by each committee
by the HOI.Since every department is contributing through its members, the monopoly and the
ownership among the faculty become stronger. The activities of all the committees are reviewed at
the end of every year by senior most professors and report is submitted to HOI for further
improvement. Since this practice includes academic, extracurricular, co-curricular and Research
activities, the systematic methods of carrying out the tasks are followed. The library details are
updated and made beneficiary to faculty and students through library monitoring committees.
Mentoring the top ranking students through Top Students mentoring committee to secure more
number of University ranks. Slow learner committee ensures the implementation of strategies for
making the students to complete the degree on time. Research activities and faculty development
activities are enhanced through Research Committee with senior professors as conveners and
members. The expertise and experience of these members are utilized for motivating the young
faculty members to pursue research in their field of interest. Data base management is made easier

National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)

Page 218

Self Study Report - 2014

and teacher student relationships are professionally enhanced through co-ordinating various
cultural events like SWAGAT and TALENTIA , mega events.
5. Evidence of Success:
Better planning of activities reflected in calendar.
Number of University ranks secured by students are increased year by year since
2009.
University pass % is increased from 88% in 2009 to 92.4% in 2013.
Professional Society activities are increased through 41 societies in 2013
Number of faculty members pursuing Ph.D is increased from 40 in 2008 to 136 in
2013
Faculty members with Ph.D qualification are increased to 46 in 2013 .
NSS team received best cadet during the year 2012-2013
The number of research publications of the faculty are increased with H index .
The entry level cutoff mark of the students is increased.
The institution has been recertified twice for awarding ISO 9001:2008 by TUV
Accord since 2008 and follow up by ISO committee.
The activities are monitored and executed by a panel of experts. Apart from regular teaching
work, the opportunities for developing leadership qualities among faculty members, are rooted by
this practice.

6. Problems Encountered and resources required


Revising the convener and members of the committee due to administrative reasons
leads to slowdown the process.
Due to more number of activities, high strength of faculty and students, coordination among human resources consumes more time.
Efficient, experienced and faculty with expertise are the resources required to be nominated
as conveners and members of the committee.

National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)

Page 300

Easwari Engineering College

Self Study Report - 2014

Poor in R&D and Consultancy.


Poor in publications with impact factor.
No. of faculty attending short-term courses and continuing education is less.
Faculty Ph.D registration is only with Anna University.
Equipments are outdated with respect to P.G programme.
Faculty specialization in the department is less.
Opportunities
Since IT Education is losing its charm, by providing quality education we can attract

good

students.
The want of Ph.D.s in Computer Science is still higher in the market. By upgrading the
qualification the prospectus of the faculty members will be improved.
Lot of innovative, Unique challenging activities may be undertaken
Competence development process in the students may be improved so that a national level bench
mark may be established by IT Department
Challenges:
No. of students admitted in IT Dept. reduces year after year.
Only college with quality education will survive and no. of Engineering Colleges in Tamil Nadu is
always on the rise.
No. of students getting placed started decreasing.
Getting placements and good academic records for the lateral entry students.
Student attitude.
Future Plans
To become a nodal centre for research
To create a centre of excellence lab and incubation centre for agriculture and rural development.
To create a state-of-art Business Intelligence lab.
To commence a new P.G course
