 PREFACE

It is my great pleasure to submit Self-Study Report of Dharmsinh Desai University (DDU) to

National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore for Re-accreditation
(Cycle-2) for further sustainable improvement of quality teaching, learning and overall
development of the University.

We are highly indebted to NAAC Peer Team for visiting and examining DDU system, for our
first accreditation and assessment in the year 2010. This Self-Study Report for re-accreditation
is the result of the sincere efforts made by all the faculty members to collect and quantify data
as per NAAC requirement. The reaccreditation process began by nominating a team of faculty
members as Central Core Committee who were involved in various activities of the university
and to work as co-ordinators. As they had to work along with four different faculties (Faculty
of Technology, Faculty of Management & information Science, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty
of Dental Science), they were chosen based on their interpersonal skills and ability to complete
the work effectively though various subteams in a specified time frame.

NAAC evaluation process prepared us to achieve greater heights in all areas of education. We
have tried our level best to implement the suggestions given by the NAAC Peer Team. Their
fruitful suggestions have helped us to overcome the reported shortcomings. It is a matter of
great satisfaction that the teaching, non-teaching staff, students and the administration have
been working as a team with an excellent level of understanding which will certainly prove
beneficial for DDU to grow from strength to strength in its quest for excellence. DDU has
done a remarkable job in the field of infrastructure, research and overall development of the
students committed to societal needs.

A steering committee was formed from various faculties of University who looked into
criterion wise inputs and department evaluative reports. The steering committee members were
supported by top management authorities. The entire work was planned and subsequently after
number of meetings, presentations, mock assessment, SWOC analysis and draft of Self-Study
Report was prepared.

Full-fledged Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) at the University shall also stand in good
stead for the reaccreditation and assessment process of NAAC. The formal and informal
feedback we receive from students, alumni, parents, educationists, IQAC, Local Managing
Committee and industry experts helps us in our move towards achieving excellence. Overall,
the exercise of preparing the Self-Study Report for NAAC has been a rewarding experience.

Total ten suggestions/recommendations by NAAC peer team were made and we fulfilled all of
them. Considering NAAC Peer Team quality improvement suggestions we have implemented
Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) from this academic year, established central library for
the University with adequate numbers of books and learning resources, implemented solid
waste management system, encouraged faculty members to pursue higher studies and to take
research projects as a result of which there has been substantial increase in number of faculty
members with Ph.D. and number of research grants from UGC, DST, GUJCOST and Industry.

Quality assurance is a participative and systematic process. We at DDU, always look at our
strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats objectively. We have worked constantly on
quality assurance over last five years with different stake holders - the students, faculty,

3
academia, industry, alumni and the society at large. University top management, faculty and
staff members, IQAC coordinators have played important roles in promoting quality. We look
forward for stimulating exchange of ideas with the team of experts from NAAC in the near
future.

Our present Self-Study Report is a culmination of our efforts towards this end and we look
forward to a rewarding interaction with the NAAC Peer Team to re-accredit our institution.

In compliance with necessary requirements for the reaccreditation of NAAC assessment, on

behalf of DDU, I would like to invite NAAC Peer Team to reassess our University activities
and give us their suggestions towards further improvements to impart quality education to
future generation of society.

INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

DDU has lush Green, Tobacco free and ragging free campus conducive for learning. Every
year the environment department does green audit. The campus is in semi urban area and
having natural green environment. The University is blessed with very fertile soil and the long-
standing plantation drive has yielded such rich fruits that the Campus is the envy of many, in
respect of the greenery. This has led to the balancing of any carbon gases generation with
absorption of CO2 within the Campus itself.

For reducing the carbon footprint, several initiatives have been taken. These include:

 Layout design of the campus, which eliminates the use of vehicles wherever possible, so
that pollution is eliminated at source itself.
 Reduction in use of papers, and reliance on substitute or alternate electronic systems like
email, cloud/web-based services to eliminate or reduce the use of paper by staff and
students alike. For instance, even in office, the salary slips are being issued
electronically and sent by email rather than paper-based salary slips issued earlier. This
is just one instance.

The University has many best practices starting from teaching learning, research, collaboration,
Industry Academic linkages and PPP model etc. specifically best two practices are elaborated
in detail in Criterion 7, are as under.

 Due to a proper system of administration of the examination control, there has been no
leakage of any question paper in the entire history of the University, thereby providing
an assurance to all the stakeholders – students, parents and industry – about the integrity
of the University and its students.

16
 Industry-Academy Linkage, helping the University in moving to the Outcome-based
Learning process.

state level. The Central Committee follows the Government of Gujarat rules for
admission into the various programs.

The Joint Admission Committee of Gujarat State ensures transparency through publishing
of admission brochure giving details of eligibility criteria, admission criteria, and number
of seats, and scholarships that are available. The brochure is available on the admission
committee website with elaborate details and easily accessible features.

The university has also full-fledged help center during the period of announcement for
admission and the last dates of the submission of applications. The university has also
full-fledged Administrative Office for providing information details telephonically and in
person.

The admission process for NRI students is highly transparent with clearly outlined

state agencies and national agencies (v) other criteria followed by the
university (please specify).

The admission criteria at the university is as per the Government of Gujarat rules which
vary in respect to the courses at different levels (undergraduate, postgraduate and
research).

Consequently, the university undertakes admissions based on either (i) University

Entrance Test or (ii) State wide Common Entrance and Merit.

In most of the professional and technical courses admissions are based on State wide
Common Entrance Tests. Students merit list is prepared by Joint Admission Committee
for Professional Courses based on the performance in Common Entrance Test and
Qualifying examination. Admission in the various programs is given based on Merit and
other qualifying Criteria defined by Government of Gujarat.

how has it contributed to the improvement of the process?

Since, University adheres to the state wide common system for admissions, reviewing of
the admission process is taken care by Joint Admission Committee on regular basis.

However, the departments regularly review the admission process based on their
admission experiences, feedback from students and faculty consultation. The Joint
Admission Committee invites feedback from Institutes and the improvement scopes are
conveyed to them.

2.1.5 What are the strategies adopted to increase / improve access for students
belonging to the following categories.
∗ SC/ST
∗ OBC
∗ Women
∗ Persons with varied disabilities

2.1.7 Has the university conducted any analysis of demand ratio for the various
programmes of the university departments and affiliated colleges? Highlight
the significant trends explaining the reasons for increase / decrease.

The demand pattern over a period of five years has been observed. In B.Tech.
programme, first two choices of branches are chosen randomly and follow general trend.
This is with reference to future demands, government policies and impression of current
placement. Generally, the programmes with high employability are always in demand.
However, marginal increase/decrease is observed for other branches. The UG
programmes offered by various faculties of the university show a mixed trend, which is
attributed to the acceptance of the unique programmes amongst the eligible/targeted
candidates.

It is not possible to work out Demand Ratio as the admissions are through JACPC,
Government of Gujarat, in which all candidates opt for majority of branches, and seats are
allotted based on merit cum choice means.

DDU is attracting best of the best talent from the state and all the programmes are in good
demand and since last 10 years no program is discontinued.

2.1.8 Were any programmes discontinued/staggered by the university in the last

four years? If yes, please specify the reasons.

No.
During the last four years, the university did not discontinue any program of study.

2.2 Catering to Student Diversity

2.2.1 Does the university organize orientation / induction programme for

freshers? If yes, give details such as the duration, issues covered, experts
involved and mechanism for using the feedback in subsequent years.

Yes.
As a regular feature of University, each faculty organizes the orientation programs for the
freshers. The duration of orientation programs is usually of one day. However, the nature
in which experts are called for the orientation programs is varying from department to
department. The orientation program is conducted with a mixed team of internal faculty
members and external experts especially from the field/NGOs so that the students could
develop professional orientation and be prepared for the field work practice.

66
The students and parents both are invited for the orientation program.

The Vice Chancellor familiarizes them with the working culture of the University and
motivates them for disciplined and dedicated approach towards learning. The controller of
exam briefs them with the academic rules and regulations pertaining to their course of
study.

A complete brochure mentioning syllabus, teaching scheme and academic calendar from
the orientation day to the convocation day is provided. On the orientation day, a campus
visit for the students is arranged by the faculty members of concerned departments.

2.2.2 Does the university have a mechanism through which the “differential
requirements of the student population” are analyzed after admission and
before the commencement of classes? If so, how are the key issues identified
and addressed?

It is pertinent to mention that the admission process for majority of courses goes on for a
long time. Therefore, there is little time between admission and the commencement of
classes. However, the University starts relevant interventions just after the admission
process.

The orientation programs for the students are mechanisms through which each
department and the faculty members have the first hand personal interaction with the
students for better rapport and student support services.

All faculty members at DDU are conscious of the fact that students belong to diverse
backgrounds and that they need to be specifically sensitized and motivated with reference
to the academic programs they are pursuing and their relative future prospects. Each
department organizes remedial classes for late admitted students and students getting
admitted through lateral entry in Diploma to Degree category.

2.2.3 Does the university offer bridge / remedial / add-on courses? If yes, how are
they structured into the time table? Give details of the courses offered,
department-wise/faculty-wise?

The university has a well-organized and established system of remedial classes. A senior
faculty is appointed as Coordinator for the remedial classes; who organizes the schedules
for the remedial classes in each semester for all programs. The departments are asked to
provide the list of subjects in which remedial classes are to be organized.

Often the departments are also provided autonomy and financial support to engage
remedial classes with the help of internal faculty and invited experts. The departments are
also arranging workshops and seminars.

2.2.4 Has the university conducted any study on the academic growth of students
from disadvantaged sections of society, economically disadvantaged,
physically handicapped, slow learners, etc.? If yes, what are the main
findings?

All the faculty members at DDU are conscious of the fact that students coming to DDU

67
have diverse backgrounds in terms of economic and regional backwardness apart from a
variety of other social disadvantages.

The University has provision of a full-fledged counselling cell at each department, which
is comprising of Sr. faculty. One faculty for group of 20 first year students is designated
as a counsellor. The counsellors regularly interact with students. Besides the students are
also encouraged to interact with faculties in tutorials for academic reasons. The faculty
through interaction identifies the slow learners and take remedial action as needed. The
main findings are as follows.

 Students hailing from vernacular medium are not initially comfortable with teaching in
English medium.
 Students hailing from vernacular medium and economically disadvantaged section are
generally slow learners.

2.2.5 How does the university identify and respond to the learning needs of
advanced learners?

The advanced learners are identified by their academic performance and classroom
discussions.

The learning needs of the advanced learners are addressed by providing them facilities
and avenues for enriching their research and professional skills. The university undertakes
IEDC projects and research assignments in consultation with industries. The advanced
learners have opportunity to work with R&D department of University, which undertakes
advanced projects funded by GUJCOST, DST, PRL etc. The University also provides
opportunity to the PG students as teaching assistants. The advanced learners are also
motivated for participation in national level competitions like Robocon, TechFest etc. and
publication of their project work in reputed conferences and journals.

The university conducts/organizes specialized trainings and workshops for the research
scholars. The departments also conduct seminars/workshop for advancing knowledge,
skill and attitude of the students.

The university library subscribes to reputed research journals covering all subjects. The
university provides e-learning facilities through access to e-resources. The whole
university campus has Internet accessibility with a high connectivity and speed for better
access to teaching, research and learning materials.

2.3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the university plan and organize the teaching, learning and
evaluation schedules (academic calendar, teaching plan, evaluation blue
print, etc.)?

The university notifies its academic calendar every year. Each year the academic calendar
is distributed among the students and staff on the very first day of their academic session.
The academic calendar is prepared keeping in view the followings.

 Minimum teaching phase requirements

In the light of the academic calendar, the departments further develop their own teaching
activities for the smooth teaching learning process (It is well documented and shared with
the students). This includes the subject wise teaching details.

Over the years, the university has developed an effective system of examinations,
evaluations and declaration of results. Each department strictly adheres to the guidelines
for the same. The course evaluation is performed under various heads. These heads are
identified as Sessional, Termwork, Practical and Theory. Appropriate weightage is
assigned to all heads and evaluation is performed throughout the semester. Students are
made familiar with the evaluation process.

For each semester-end examination, the results are declared before the commencement of
next session/semester. The subject-wise database for students based on their performance
during examinations (Pass/Fail/Absent) is prepared and maintained at each department.
This also helps in identifying slow learners.

2.3.2 Does the university provide course outlines and course schedules prior to the
commencement of the academic session? If yes, how is the effectiveness of
the process ensured?

Yes.
Each of the courses and subjects has well defined and structured content. Both, the
detailed syllabus for each course and the micro-planning for each subject is notified to the
students before commencement of the programme.

Further, in teaching of courses, the autonomy lies with the faculty members in the
structuring and operationalization of their teaching activities. The outlines and timelines
of respective courses and individual papers are explained to students at the time of
counselling after admission.

The university has a de-centralized system, at the level of departments, for developing
and structuring their course curriculums and modules. For that each department conducts
Board of Studies meet, twice in a year and proposes changes in the curriculum, teaching
scheme in order to make syllabus at par with other eminent universities and demand of
industries. This proposed changes are duly approved by the Academic Council that meets
once in a year.

The effectiveness of the course outline and scheduling is ensured by the respective faculty
advisor and the head of the department. The informal feedback about the same is also
obtained from the students in the middle of the semester.

individual departments and faculty members plan their teaching so as to complete the
courses within the stipulated time-frame. Till date, the university has not come across any
unwarranted situation whereby the courses are not completed on time and as such the
academic calendar has not been revised for these reasons.

Importantly, University organizes its convocation program as per the date mentioned in
academic calendar, which is published well in advance i.e. at the time of orientation
program. In case of any lectures or practical slots are missed due to some unavoidable
reasons, extra classes are arranged. In a rare situation faculty members may swap their
sessions.

In case of leave, faculty is required to compensate for their missed classes by conducting
extra sessions. In cases of new programs, which are initiated at later dates, the academic
calendar is re-scheduled well in advance and strictly followed.

2.3.4 How learning is made student-centric? Give a list of participatory learning

activities adopted by the faculty that contributes to holistic development and

students’ one faculty member is appointed as a counsellor for a batch of 20 students;
whereas, in higher semesters one faculty is appointed as counsellor to look after an entire
class. Preferably the same faculty should remain as the counsellor for the same group
during the groups’ entire tenure at the University.

Counsellors interact with students on regular basis and keep track of their social,
economic background and education progress. The minutes of mentoring reports are
submitted to the concerned Head of the Department (HoD). The HoD takes necessary
actions whenever required and if needed, may inform the concerned head of the institute.
For the case where improvement is not seen, case is reported individually to the higher
authority and if needed, parents are also informed for taking necessary actions.

office of the controller of the examinations for each course and program. The controller’s
office also announces the dates for the submission of examination forms and notifies the

80
process of collection of application forms. Examinee data sheet is prepared by the
administrative office and submitted to the controller’s office. The controller’s office, after
due verification, issues admit cards through the concerned department.

The process of the conduct of interim exams is de-centralized at the level of the
departments whereby the heads of the departments are appointed as additional
superintendents for the smooth and fair conduct of examinations.

The process of the conduct of end semester exams is centralized whereby the supervisors
across the departments are appointed for the smooth and fair conduct of examinations.

∗ Examination process (Examination material management, logistics, etc.)

developing the course curriculum in tune with the mandate of the university and the
specific nature of students enrolling at DDU. This, coupled with a transparent and
accountable system of examination and evaluation, has helped in improving the
outcomes.

The 75% attendance during teaching sessions is made mandatory for students. This has
inculcated tremendous seriousness in students for learning. The evaluation strategy
through 3 internal examinations and immediate declaration of results help in identifying
the obtained performance and scope for further improvement. The students are also
benefitted by means of periodic evaluation before commencement of end-semester
examinations. In fact many of the students found them well-prepared for the end-semester
examinations that is reflected in overall performance.

2.6.4 How does the university collect and analyse data on student learning
outcomes and use it to overcome the barriers to learning?

The departments collect information regarding learning outcomes of students on each

program by tabulating the results of the internal assessment as well as end-semester
examination. This information helps to identify the good learners and poor learners.

The University also gathers information from various departments through the analysis of
feedback forms. Based on all this, the University sets about to address the lacunae
through mechanisms like remedial teaching, assignments, quizzes, mentorship and other
special programs like workshops, seminars, expert talks etc. In some cases, the feedback
information is used to incorporate changes in the pedagogy.

83
 2.6.5 What are the new technologies deployed by the university in enhancing
student learning and evaluation and how does it seek to meet fresh/ future
challenges?

The well-equipped computer labs with full-fledged Internet access have facilitated the
students in having wider access to knowledge gateways. Keeping in view that English is
the medium of instruction and the background of aspirants entering to DDU, the
university has made teaching of ‘Communication Skills’ compulsory for all UG
programs. This primes their interest and boosts their confidence in the use of ICTs.

The departments ensure availability of syllabus, lesson planning, handouts, assignments

and other teaching material amongst the students. The departments are also facilitated for
making class room teaching more ICT enabled and encourage the routine sharing of study
material via e-resources.

The university has also experimented with the process of online system of examination
along with traditional mode.

The office of the controller of examination is consistently working at making extensive

use of available technologies for ensuring a more transparent evaluation system.

prescribed by the supervisor. On successful completion of coursework he/she is registered
as a research scholar.

Under the guidance of BoRS, individual Research Progress Committee (RPCs) monitors
the research progress of research scholar. RPC consists of minimum the supervisor and
one external expert from subject area who review the progress of research work at regular
intervals of six months. The research scholar has to incorporate suggestions and
recommendations of these experts to improve the quality of research work. Before the pre-
synopsis submission stage the research scholar has to go minimum of 4 RPC reviews.
Before submission of the final thesis the research scholar must have minimum 1 paper
published in a peer reviewed international journal. For the final evaluation of
thesis/research work, based upon list of examiners suggested by the Supervisor,
University nominates two external examiners to maintain high standard of evaluation. Out
of two external examiners, one examiner is from a foreign University and other external
examiner is from any reputed University outside Gujarat.

3.6.5 Does the university have a mechanism to track the students ‘involvement in
various social movements / activities which promote citizenship roles?

The most important point here is the long tradition the University has in the social service
field and social movements. We are fortunate in having great freedom fighters, social
workers and reformers as our founders. In fact the university itself is named after the late
Shri Dharmsinh Desai, the son and grandson of freedom fighters and social reformers and
himself a social worker, reformer and industry pioneer. Thus the University has social
work and reform in its genes.

However, the success of the University lies in its ability to transmit this propensity in
social work to its students. To this end, it has taken the following steps:

 Provided a number of social activities and social movements which the students can
join, without jeopardizing their demanding studies – the main purpose which the
students are here for.
 Provide leadership and guidance to individual students or their groups so that they
choose what is best for them at different stages
 Thereafter, monitor their involvement with the mechanism of a Coordinator of Social
Outreach at the University level. This work helps keep track of where the efforts of the
students is being directed at, and whether it is bringing any fruits commensurate with
the extra effort being put in by the students.
 The University has its own Social Responsibility programme, out of which it has
identified the following activities as being suitable for student participation:

 Village adoption
 Dental care camp
 Medical camp and opening up of medical facilities
 NCC and NSS activities, and the associated social service activities

119
  Blood donation camps on a regular basis
 Computer Coaching for the economically disadvantaged, in association with
SEWA
 University Foundation Day – which is celebrated to renew the commitment of
the University community to the society at large, such as:
o Organ Donation Event – a Guiness World Record
o Cancer awareness Rally
 Providing professional courses to the needy
 Orphan house visit by the students – taking advantage of the fact that Nadiad is
home to a world-famous orphanage over 100 years old, which was blessed by
Mahatma Gandhiji as well
 Old age home visit by students

The university has a small limitation in this area. Being a University providing education
in sreams which place very heavy time demands on the students, the time available for its
students to seriously engage in these activities is quite less. As a result, they are not in a
position to do as much as students in less demanding streams.

3.6.6 Bearing in mind the objectives and expected outcomes of the extension
activities organized by the university, how did they complement students’
academic learning experience? Specify the values inculcated and skills
learnt.

The University does one more UNIQUE thing: it provides education in Yoga as a
compulsory course for students. This goes a long way towards providing mental peace to
the students, most of whom are away from home for the first time, which helps them
retain their sensitivity towards the various social causes, without which the activities
would not bring the desired results.

As a result, the students keep their minds AND hearts open whenever they take part in any
activity, and manage to come up with ways of being a part of a solution to the various
social problems themselves, even when they cannot come up with a solution themselves.

The foremost value they imbibe is that of sensitivity to others’ problems and trials. And
the foremost skill they learn is to see the needs of other people when the affected people
themselves cannot identify.

Having been able to see the needs, they are in a position to frame a problem which can be
solved – technically, managerially, socially or just by plain human contact, as in the case
of Orphanages or Old Age Homes.

3.6.7 How does the university ensure the involvement of the community in its
outreach activities and contribute to community development? Give details
of the initiatives of the university which have encouraged community
participation in its activities.

The University does this by involving the community in selecting its intervention, thus
building high confidence in the community about the success of whatever effort they have
to make. This is the one critical factor in ensuring deep involvement by the stakeholders
as they can see that their efforts will definitely bear fruit. This has been most visible in the

120
various activities ensuing from Village Adoption, Computer Training Classes, various
NCC/NSS projects and camps etc.

3.6.8 Give details of awards received by the institution for extension activities
and/contributions to social/community development during the last four
years.

 The University is a World Record Holder in this area.

 On 1st January, 2013, Dharmsinh Desai University established a Guinness World
Record for pledging 4692 pairs of eyes in 8 hours’ time.
 Appreiciation award by DDMM Nadiad for organizing blood donation camp and
significant number of blood unit collection.

visibility, identity and diversity of activities on campus? To what extent has
the university benefitted academically and financially because of
collaborations?

 CRITERION IV - INFRASTRUCTURE AND LEARNING RESOURCES

4.1 Physical Facilities

4.1.1 How does the university plan and ensure adequate availability of physical
infrastructure and ensure its optimal utilization?

Planning of Physical Infrastructure:

The University meticulously evolves strategy to enhance the physical infrastructure in

order to balance the ever increasing demand for additional space. As per Dharmsinh
Desai University norms, all the physical facilities are established to have a very good
teaching and learning system. The requirement is prepared in consultation with the head
of the department (HoD), Dean and top-level management committee and subsequently
submitted to the Board of Governors (BoG) for approval. Once it is approved, the same is
implemented with the help of professional in the concerned area. As a result of careful
planning and efficient execution, the University has enhanced physical space in terms of
classrooms, research and development and teaching laboratories.

While evolving the time-table for various courses, care is taken to ensure optimum
utilization of infrastructural facilities. Priority is given to academic activities for usage of
Seminar and Conference Halls.
.

Apart from the regular practical sessions, the laboratories are used for various other

strategies and processes?

The university quality system is made operational under the IQAC. The approach taken is
bottom up where quality parameters are suggested by faculty members and then
implemented by the department and university, thus, bringing a sense of ownership in
quality enhancement.

All stakeholders are involved in the continuous quest for quality enhancement. Quality
enhancement initiatives like conducting seminars and training program are facilitated by
the IQAC. Each faculty and consequently each department is advised to conduct its own
academic activity, which brings synergic approach for development of university.

6.5.5 How many decisions of the IQAC have been placed before the statutory
authorities of the university for implementation?

 CRITERION VII - INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the university conduct a Green Audit of its campus?

The Environmental Audit Cell of the University has been carrying out environmental
audit, consultancy and design services to the industry for over 20 years now, so the
University is having in-house competence to undertake this activity much better than
other institutions.

The University has framed its Environmental Care Policy, and has been conducting a
Green Audit of its Campus through a properly constituted Environmental Audit
Committee, as a part of this Policy. The frequency of the Green Audit is annual. The
Audit Committee lists the areas of concern, and the University implements its suggestions
in consultation with them.

The fundamental policy tenets of Environment Consciousness are:

 Conserve
 Reduce
 Reuse
 Recycle

These tenets are ingrained in all the stakeholders of the University and are the tests for
each action.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the university to make the campus eco-
friendly?

∗ Energy conservation
This is done through three major thrust areas:
 Proper system designs – whether of buildings or of labs, equipment etc.
 Buildings are designed for optimum ventilation and lighting, to reduce the
consumtion of electricity at the design stage itself.
 All wiring and related devices are chosen in such a manner that they protect
people and property from electrical shock and fire hazards.
 Choice of appropriate hardware and devices:
 Accessories like lights, luminaires, low-loss wiring, energy efficient motors and
pumps, fans, air conditioners, water coolers etc. are chosen with the energy
efficiency as a much more important criterion than the basic price, for the energy
savings will someday offset the price.
 There is great techno-commercial development in lighting. Taking advantage of
that, University is going for LED lights wherever possible, and CFL where it is
not.
 Campus lighting is only on LED now.
 All new Air Conditioners are VRV-based now.

267
  All new pumps are having VFD installation wherever possible.
 PFCs are being installed at the Substation.
 The University is having a large number of computers, over 500. All are now
having LED monitors rather than the old CRT monitors which consumed large
amounts of power.
 Best usage practices: Any system or hardware is only as good as how it is used.
Realizing this, University lays especial emphasis on appropriate usage.
 All staff and students are trained in best energy usage practices.
 People are exhorted and motivated to minimize energy wastage wherever
possible. Separate best practices are evolved for classrooms, staffrooms, offices,
laboratories and different types of public areas.
 This is done along with the effort to minimize wastage of any kind, since any
wastage of materials is indirectly a wastage of energy, if not in the Campus then at
least at the points of manufacture and along the logistic chain.
This is how the University conserves energy in the Campus.

∗ Use of renewable energy

University is drawing up plans to combine the benefits of its own, large campus and
various government schemes for use of renewable energy.

∗ Water harvesting
The University is situated in Kheda district, which is having a very high water table. So
the traditional water harvesting techniques are not suitable for this Campus.

However, the University has implemented for complete recycling of waste from the
campus, becoming a zero-discharge entity except for storm water.

∗ Check dam construction

This is not applicable to this University, as no water stream passes through the Campus at
all.

∗ Efforts for Carbon neutrality

The University is blessed with very fertile soil and the long-standing plantation drive has
yielded such rich fruits that the Campus is the envy of many, in respect of the greenery.
This has led to the balancing of any carbon gases generation with absorption of CO2
within the Campus itself.

For reducing the carbon footprint, several initiatives have been taken. These include:
 Layout design of the campus, which eliminates the use of vehicles wherever
possible, so that pollution is eliminated at source itself.
 Reduction in use of papers, and reliance on substitute or alternate electronic
systems like email, cloud/web-based services to eliminate or reduce the use of
paper by staff and students alike. For instance, even in office, the salary slips are
being issued electronically and sent by email rather than paper-based salary slips
issued earlier. This is just one instance.

268
∗ Plantation
In its campus of over 42 acres, the University has all kind of trees of different types of
species. In addition, there are good lawns spread across the campus. Due to such lush and
hospitable vegetation, many birds are sighted on the Campus.

∗ Hazardous waste management

Except for very negligible amounts in the Chemistry Laboratories, no hazardous waste is
generated in the University Campus. This tiny amount is also handled as per the proper
methods, and the Environmental Audit Cell of the University, as explained at the
beginning, is monitoring this closely.

∗ e-waste management
Generation of e-waste is very rare, and takes place in any significant quantum only at the
time of replacement of the computer systems or cabling. At the relevant time, proper care
is taken as per scientific procedure under monitoring by the Environmental Audit Cell of
the University.

Mostly, the devices and components are disposed of under a buy-back scheme with the
vendors, who are now a part of the national e-waste management scheme, thus
eliminating the headache for every stakeholder.

∗ any other (please specify)

Education is the major solution of most of the problems, and indeed is the basis of this
University. Recognizing this fact, as well as the consequent responsibility, the University
has taken the following measures:

 Introduction of a compulsory course on Environment Studies in every branch of

study, providing formal education in the subject apart from general knowledge
 Awareness programmes on an ongoing basis, with the help of posters and wall
slogans
 Special events like celebration of Earth Day, Van-mahotsav etc.
 Holding of Seminars and Workshops for students and staff, both teaching and non-
teaching
 Holding of special lectures by experts and guests on environment-related topics
 Special suggestion scheme for staff and students for energy conservation and waste
reduction

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 university.

The prime purpose of all innovations is to improve the TEACHING-LEARNING process.

Other activities undertaken are so as to support this primary mission of this University.

Some major innovations integrated into the system are:

 Integration of the continuous evaluation system in the process, and linking with the
computerized system whereby the students can see their result immediately upon its
publication, from their own login ID.
269
  Issuance of a Pocket Calendar for the entire year at the beginning of the academic
year, giving the entire programme, the dates of examination and the dates of
publication of result, for every stream in the University. The date of Convocation is
also announced along with, at the time of entry into the studentship itself.
 This practice has been followed for over 25 years now.
 This results in a positive pressure on faculty, students and academic staff towards
punctuality, which is the most essential ingredient in a quality assurance system.

Other supporting innovations carried out by the University are:

 Use of the PPP mode for establishment of the Nanotechnology Centre, in

collaboration with Government of Gujarat and industries, for undertaking major
basic and applied research in the areas of nanotechnology and surface sciences.
 State Government, under its scheme of promoting some institutes as Anchor
Institutes, has designated our University as the Anchor Institute for Chemical,
Petrochemical and Plastic industries. Under this project, several operating personnel
are trained at the Campus or off-campus.
 University has established an R & D Centre, which is doing ground-breaking
research in substance detection, face identification and moon exploration. This has a
cascading effect on the regular teaching-learning at the University.
 University has taken major initiatives in creating strong linkages with industry. Apart
from the Nanotechnology Centre, University has also entered into collaborations
with other orgarnisations outside.
o One example of this is the Bosch-Rexroth Centre for Excellence in Automation
Technologies, funded to a very large extent by the shared-implementation mode,
and carrying out cutting-edge research.
 Resource Mobilization: The University has created unique PPP model between
Governemtn, Industries and University, and established state of the art, Nano
Technology Centre. Very innovative way to enhance research, teaching learning,
involment of industry in academics and help in Training and placement.

7.3 Best Practices

7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better
academic and administrative functioning of the university.
1. Due to a proper system of administration of the examination section, there has been no
leakage of any question paper in the entire history of the University, thereby providing
an assurance to all the stakeholders – students, parents and industry – about the
integrity of the University and its students.
2. Industry-Academy Linkage, helping the University in moving to the Outcome-based
Learning process.

PRACTICE ONE

Title of the Practice:

Integrity and efficiency of Examination system

Objectives of the Practice

To ensure complete integrity of the Examination System, starting with the preliminaries,
and focusing on the integrity of the question paper, conducting the examinations,
270
evaluation and publication of results. There is also the associated process of dealing with
malpractices.

The University had its origins in a single-faculty affiliated college, from where it went on
to become an autonomous college within its affiliating university, namely Gujarat
University, in 1998. In 2004 it became a Deemed University and upon passing of the Act
by Gujarat Legislature, it became a State Private University. During this time period, it
added other faculties, like the Faculties of Commerce, Dental Sciences Management and
Information Sciences and Pharmacy. Hence, it required a proper structure for ensuring an
examination system of impeccable integrity, which alone could provide simultaneous
assurance to all the stakeholders, namely the students, parents, employers, faculty and
other academic institutions. This system needed to be evolved, in view of the unmatched
devotion to educational quality and punctuality.

The Challenges in adopting the Practice

The Challenges in adopting the Practice were many; the first and foremost being the fact
that the Practice needed to be evolved. The other was that the University adopted the
practice of “Lean”, meaning the use of as few people as would suit the job rather than the
use of many. This was done with the clear intention of proper allocation of responsibility
for design, delivery and quality of the practice and procedure.

The Practice
The first point in the system is the decision, at the highest level, that the schedules for
dates of all examinations and dates of all results publication must be announced in
advance, and the schedule must be strictly adhered to. We are glad to report that the
University has been successful in adhering to this tenet 100%, without any deviation in all
these years. Till date, there has been NO case of leakage of papers in ANY examination
held by the University, ever since it gained autonomy and assumed responsibility for its
own affairs.

This leads to fixing of the examination process, which has two major components: fixing
of the syllabus [to which minor changes are made as necessary] and selection of the
examiners. While the internal examiner is normally the teacher himself/herself, the
external examiner is chosen with care, after evaluation of their knowledge, experience
and integrity. This ensures:

1. Foolproof question papers system, so that there is no leakage of papers, and

2. Proper evaluation of the learning of the various students.

This ensures that the results declared reflect the actual capability of the student, free from
PREJUDICES and MALPRACTICES, which are the bane of any evaluation system.

The external examiners’ names are vetted by the subject teachers themselves, as also by
the heads of respective departments, the Board of Studies, and finally by the Academic
Council. The decision for choosing a particular examiner for a particular examination is
carried out by the Controller of Examination, from the panel approved by the Academic
Council, to ensure fairness and integrity.

The evaluation of papers is done centrally, and the University has constructed a fully-
equipped Evaluation Hall, with CCTV cameras, and proper records system to ensure total

271
integrity, efficiency and transparency.

After evaluation, the results are entered into the computer database and are immediately
visible to the students through the Students’ Login on the University Website. This is the
process for individual examinations. Cumulated, it results in a marksheet, and then the
final degree. This is the process from start to finish. Since it is an integrated process, it
leads to the necessary pressure on the teaching-learning process as well, to ensure the
objectives of education.

Uniqueness in the Context of Indian Higher Education

The importance of this practice is that many Universities are coming up, which do not
have such systems to take care of academic objectives of transparency and efficiency. The
practices followed by us can be used as a model and a first step in evolving in their own
systems suited to their situations.

Constraints/ Limitations
The constraints are mainly self-imposed: the University is very keen on adhering to the
schedule pre-announced at the time of admission, which puts pressures on the people
which may, in case of unforeseen circumstances, be very tight for them.

Evidence of Success
The following facts are a clear indication of the success of the Practice:
1. All examinations, without a single exception, are conducted as per the schedule
announced at the commencement of the academic year, the results are also published
as per the pre-announced calendar and the Convocation is held on the pre-arranged
date. This is possible ONLY if ALL the sub-processes in the entire Examination
System are functioning as per design. Even if one sub-process is malfunctioning, the
System would be out of gear very soon.
2. There has NOT been EVEN ONE INSTANCE of the leakage of question paper in the
last twelve years of a continuous evaluation system, with at least 4 examinations in one
term in each and every subject, perhaps even more. This is possible only if the systems
and processes are foolproof.

PRACTICE TWO

Title of the Practice

Industry-Academy Linkage, helping the University in moving to the Outcome-based
Learning process.

Objectives of the Practice

All the academic streams of the University have very strong moorings in real life outside
the campus. As a result, they need to have continuous up gradation reflecting the changes
in the dynamic world. The objectives of the Practice are three-fold:

1. To make this linkage between the University and Industry work for the improvement
in the education of the students at all levels
2. To contribute to the capacity building in the human resources of the University, the
teaching and research faculty being the principal resource, and
3. To make this linkage work routinely and effectively.

272
The Context
The context is the ever-changing world outside, with the long association of the
University with the outside world, its alumni base working the world over and the
excellent, state-of-the-art research and development facilities it is having, along with
faculty having an industry-helpful, applications-oriented mindset.

The Challenges in adopting the Practice

The principal challenge in adopting the practice was the framing of a problem which
could be commonly understood and discussed on one platform and across a table between
industry and academy. Some other minor challenges were the availability of the faculty
and the research equipment.

The Practice
The Practice has three dimensions:
1. Outreach by the University to industry, to identify the problems they are facing, which
can be solved with the help of theoretical, experimental and field-work methods by the
University
2. Outreach by the University to introduce new courses and even full programmes, and
modify existing curriculum to reflect the requirements of skilled, trained and
competent manpower by the employer world
3. Integrate the learnings from the outside world into the classroom wherever deep
modifications have not been carried out to provide a flavor of the real world to the
students who have had no exposure, thereby enriching their learning experience, and
providing them with a context for the textbooks full of theories and abstractions.

Uniqueness in the Context of Indian Higher Education

The work done by the University is unique in the Indian context because of two reasons:
1. Contextualization and de-theorizing of education is a burning problem in India at
present, and
2. Extremely very few Universities in India have the capability to undertake such a
mammoth exercise and bring it to fruition.

Constraints/ Limitations
The major constraints are:
1. Limited time with industry executives to participate in the problem-formulation
exercise, which is the basis of the whole practice, lack of willingness to share data and
lack of a basis to accurately predict the outcome of any practice to be evolved
2. This leads to severe pressures on the faculty, principally by way of setting aside the
time to participate in problem-formulation exercise, and may create tensions at later
stage when the matter can sometimes boil down to “that’s not what we meant” kind of
comments with subsequent de-motivations on either side.

Evidence of Success
Evidence of success can be gauged by the following facts:
1. Rising participation by the Industry and Government in establishing research,
experimentation and teaching facilities at the Campus itself, as witnessed by the
various Centres such as the Nanotechnology Centre, the Bosch-Rexroth Centre, and
the Anchor Institute programme, with collective investments of around 15 to 20 crores
2. Introduction of special subjects in the present streams, like the collaboration with
Reliance Industries Ltd.

273
 3. Introduction of new programmes in collaboration with the MP Urological Hospital, a
world-renowned kidney and urological hospital and research Centre
4. Modification of subjects to reflect the growing needs of industry for exports and
banking/financial services.

51. Detail five major Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges (SWOC) of
the department.

Strengths

1. In-depth teaching by all qualified faculty in all subjects using a mix of teaching
methodologies
2. Continuous evaluation as per a rigorous and transparent system
3. Live cases and projects
4. Industry-academy interaction, including Summer Internship Project and Major
Research Project
5. Systematic administration and governance of the department, making it effective
and efficient.

Weaknesses

1. No control over the quality of incoming students, as admissions are centralised at

the state level
2. Sometimes, the location [not being in Ahmedabad or Vadodara] proves a detriment
to providing live projects to students
3. As the Programmes are not residential programmes, there is less time for students to
do homework or outside-class projects and other work
4. Still room for more ICT equipment in the classroom
5. Lack of dedicated infrastructure suited to the MBA programme like classroom,
workspace and faculty space

Opportunities

1. Opportunity to introduce additional industry-relevant programmes like Executive

MBA
2. Opportunity to introduce Management Development Programmes in focussed areas
3. Opportunity to expand the industry-academy collaboration
4. Opportunity to provide on-line education
5. Opportunity to network with existing alumni to enrich the teaching/ learning
experience and expand the placement process by leveraging ICT technology

Challenges

1. Expansion in the number of universities in the state, as each one wants to come up
with MBA/MCA Programme since they think it is very easy

356
 2. To come up with programmes or methodology to help weak students cope with the
regular study rigour. This will make the University unique in the field as no
institution focuses on the weak student.
3. Increasing extra-curricular and extra-mural activities without diluting academic
rigour and in the existing limitations of a non-residential programme
4. To carve out space for better research within the existing resources of money,
network, procedures, materials and time
5. To improve the public image and comparative status of the departments light of
inadequate resources to take it to the next level

52. Future plans of the department.

 To significantly improve the status of the faculty in research, alumni and

teaching/learning aspects
 To offer more industry-relevant programmes, i.e. other than the regular programs
