5. Availability of Non-teaching staff
For the programmes offered in the information technology department viz. 4 – year
BTech (IT) and 2-Year MTech (IT), the following areas are identified as emerging areas:
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Internet of Things (IoT), Data Analytics, Cloud
Computing, Block chain and Cyber Security.
Since we live in the “world of information”, information technology has become a part
of our daily lives. Many corporations have created the so-called “IT departments” to manage
computer technologies related to their business. Recently, the Wireless technologies, Analytics,
IoT & Cloud and Cyber-security and Block chain have radically changed the way technology
and businesses work. There has been a synergistic development between business requirements
and technology growth.
Information technology helps to build and grow the commerce and business sector and
generate maximum possible output. The time taken by different sectors to generate business is
now minimized with advancement in Information technology. It provides electronic security,
storage, and efficient communication.

8. Any significant innovations in curriculum, teaching, learning and
evaluation,research and extension,Academic and Administrative governance
introduced by the department
Our Curriculum is designed based on Choice Based Credit System allowing
the students to select and/or exempt the courses with a range of Programme
Electives, Open Electives, On-line courses, one-credit courses, course
advancement scheme (fast track scheme) etc.
Our Curriculum is designed in such a way that it gives more importance to
soft-skill and professional skill development by giving credits to Professional
skills training or industrial training so that every effort of students is
rewarded with credits.
Project work for final years has been divided in to 2 phases, first one in VI
semester and second one in VII semester, considering the students who have
got on-campus placement to do their industrial training/internship during
VIII semester without any difficulty.
The students those who have not got placement offers will either do
internship in industry (if they got any from reputed organization) or project
work in the campus during VIII semester. Such flexibility is provided to the
students.
General Awareness and social building courses like Universal human values,
Value education and Environmental science courses are introduced in the
curriculum to enable the students to understand what is life, what is family,
what is friendship, what is nature and how they are interconnected, how to
protect the environment etc.
Another important course Comprehensive Test/Viva with 2 credits has been
introduced in the curriculum during VII semester in order to make the
students recall/refresh their core course skills what they have studied from I
semester to VI semester.

Administrative Governance introduced by the Department
The department has a well-structured administrative governance to carry out the day-to-day
academic and development activities. The following chart depicts the governance structure
highlighting important responsibilities:
The important responsibilities include: the academic coordinator, research coordinator, IIPC
coordinator, IIC and EMDC coordinator and the CoE & Test coordinator and the laboratory in-
charges.

d. Learning beyond the curriculum
Students learn beyond the curriculum with the provision of choices like One Credit
Courses, Value Added Courses and Online Courses. Apart from this, one or two
experiments beyond the curriculum are included in the list of experiments in each laboratory
course of the curriculum. Moreover, through project competitions conducted by our TBI and
various agencies (both Private and Government) then and there, the students are upgrading
their knowledge beyond the curriculum by participating and contributing to it.

f. Placement
The Placement Cell is the most dynamic cell in our organization. This cell is having a
good association with various Multi-National organizations for various reasons like
knowledge transfer through organizing FDPs, Internship opportunities for students, assisting
for the Centre of Excellence, and so on. A coordinator from each department is coordinating
with the placement cell to take care of the placement aspects of the students of the
department. In addition to the placement cell, the Training cell is also there which is majorly
taking care of the training process of the students of the whole institute. They are offering
various training includes technical training, communication training, and soft skill training

10. Efforts made by the Department for tracking the holistic progression of the
student (20-21)
The organization of the department is in such a way that it concentrates on the holistic
progress of each and every student. The hierarchy followed in the department is class
representative, class advisor, year coordinator, HoD followed by Principal at the top. The
job of the class representative is to establish a smooth communication between class
advisors and the students of that particular class. He / She is responsible for reporting all the
happenings in the classroom to the class advisor. The job of the class advisor is to monitor
and encourage both academic and non-academic growth of each and every student. If there
is any misbehavior or in-disciplinary activity by any student, it will be brought to the notice
of year coordinator. He / She will take action in consultation with the HoD based on nature
of the incident. However, the final decision will be made by the Principal.

21. Outcome of the meeting with faculty
All faculty are moving towards the faculty appraisal marks, not able to
concentrate on TLP. Incentives only based on research components. It will be
better if TLP is also considered. Time allotted for research is very less.
Laboratory systems are to updated
Separate lab for project and research
Students self learning activity to be improved
DA /Increment / Promotion to be improved. No Scale difference between
new designation and old designations
Casual leave instead of 2 days per month, it may be increased based on the
requirement
Data collection is very hectic work. Common data base may be developed
with required format
Based on the GATE syllabus , all the components may be added like Theory
of computation and compiler design in the curriculum
No promotion for the last 10 years, No increment for last two years. It may
be improved
No benefit in scale after upgrading their qualification
No medical leave.
Bus fare for NTS is economically not accommodated
Leave for staff/faculty marriage or for their wards
Extra duty allowance for system group. Either bus fare may be reduced or
petrol allowance may be given
No salary difference between experienced staff and newly joined staff
31 | P a g e
Applying the R&D proposal is very less
Faculty training is also reduced from last year to this year- due to faculty
appraisal requires only 2 FDPs for each faculty
Publication need to be improved
Outcome of R&D facility is less. This needs to be improved
Usage of facilities like TBI etc., is very less towards students activity
Number of printers are high in each lab
Number of systems for PG lab is also high
Higher education and competitive exams awareness and success rate is very
less
Project report quality is to be improved
Laboratory manuals are to be improved
