Institutional preparedness for NEP

1. Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary: • In adopting the National Education Policy's (NEP)

aim of providing high-quality education to support
the development of our human resources into global
citizens, Hooghly Engineering & Technology

Page 15/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

College (HETC) is playing a significant role. • The

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology
(MAKAUT), West Bengal periodically redesigns its
academic curricula to offer multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary courses as electives. All
programmes are created so that students have the
greatest amount of freedom in selecting electives
from other specializations. It is obvious that the
University is actively attempting to put the
recommendations made in the NEP into practice.
HETC being an affiliated college of MAKAUT,
adheres to the curriculum proposed by the University
and offers Open Elective (OE) and Programme
Elective (PE) Courses in a flexible manner as per
student need/choice. • The motto of the National
Educational Policy (NEP-2023) for Higher Education
is to end fragmentation of the field by turning
existing universities, colleges, and higher education
institutions into vast, interdisciplinary knowledge
hubs.

2. Academic bank of credits (ABC): • A crucial element of the NEP that academic
institutions must adopt is academic bank credits.
Moving forward, it is crucial and vital to integrate
higher education institutions into a globalized
environment. • HETC has registered for National
Academic Depository (NAD), proposed by
MAKAUT for Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). •
Many students are pursuing online courses through
national programmes like SWAYAM, NPTEL,
Coursera, etc. and HETC is also taking into
consideration any credit gained for elective courses.

3. Skill development: • For accelerating skill development, add-on

programmes and curriculum expansion are essential.
HETC has implemented skill development courses
with the assistance of highly qualified professionals /
resource persons. • By signing MOUs with
institutions or organizations of national and
international repute formed performing a variety of
activities, HETC will proceed with the following
specific plan: ? To offer new learning methods using
ICT tools and digital platforms, such as flipped
classrooms for the purpose of empowering teachers
creating and putting into practice a comprehensive
assessment and evaluation system. ? To evaluate
pupils on a 360-degree basis and analyse their
learning outcomes using an outcome-based education
system.

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

4. Appropriate integration of Indian Knowledge • Indian arts and culture should be promoted since it
system (teaching in Indian Language, culture, using benefits both the nation and the individual. To foster
online course): a sense of regional pride, the institution celebrates
important dates and sponsors events in regional
languages. • The noteworthy events/festivals that
support national integrity and awareness of Indian
National and Regional languages, as well as the
culture associated with them, include, New Year's
Day, Birthday of Swami Vivekananda, Birthday of
Netaji, Holi, Bengali New Year’s Day / Birthday of
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Good Friday, Mother Language
Day etc. • Although medium of teaching in HETC is
English, regional languages such as Bengali and
Hindi are used to clear the ambiguities of the students
whenever needed. • All religious holidays and
observances are treated equally in HETC.

5. Focus on Outcome based education (OBE): • In compliance with the criteria of regulatory
organizations like the All India Council of Technical
Education (AICTE) and the affiliating university,
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology
(MAKAUT), HETC follows an outcome-based
education with explicitly stated course objectives and
programme outcomes (POs). • All courses are
created by MAKAUT with the outcomes of
remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing,
evaluating, and creating in mind. In addition to
domain-specific knowledge, learning outcomes at all
levels guarantee social responsibility, morality and
entrepreneurial abilities so that students actively
contribute to the country's economic, environmental
and social well-being. The philosophy of POs is
further supported by the Course Outcomes (COs). •
To implement the spirit of NEP, every course
syllabus has been created in accordance with the rules
of regulatory bodies and by the university's own
regulatory bodies while taking into account general
economic and social necessities. The Outcomes
Based Education (OBE) attainment model is used to
evaluate students. An innovative curriculum that
incorporates credit-based courses and projects
emphasizes values-based education, community
involvement and service, environmental education
and environmental awareness. Research in the
laboratory and small projects that emphasize raising
community knowledge of health and promotion are
included in the curriculum. • In departmental
programmes, value-based education courses like

Page 17/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

‘Values and Ethics in Profession’ have been

introduced by MAKAUT and are followed by HETC.

4. Quality Indicator Framework(QIF)

Criterion 1 - Curricular Aspects

1.1 Curricular Planning and Implementation

1.1.1

The Institution ensures effective curriculum planning and delivery through a well-planned and
documented process including Academic calendar and conduct of continuous internal Assessment

Response:

The institute focuses on promoting student-centered learning through a well-planned and documented
teaching-learning process. Here are the key components:

(A) Effective Communication and Awareness:

The institute regularly spreads awareness among the faculty members and technical assistants about the
importance of a well-planned and documented curriculum delivery mechanism. In accordance with the
organogram of the institute-

The Principal communicates with Heads of Departments (H.O.D.s) and Departmental

Instructional Coordinators (DICs) to improve curriculum delivery methods.

The information is documented in Minutes of Meetings of the Academic Committee and

Departmental Meetings.

(B) Adherence to Academic Calendar:

All the departments of the institute strictly adhere to the academic calendar issued by the affiliating
university (MAKAUT). The academic calendar consists of the semester commencement date, dates for
conduction of the continuous assessment tests and the university semester examinations.

At the start of each semester, the faculty members of various departments conduct their internal
meetings and develop academic plans such as timetables, lesson plans, and course files for the
ensuing academic session.

Teachers are encouraged to plan in advance to impart the curriculum through different teaching
methods such as presentations, assignments, discussions, workshops, seminars, apart from regular
lecture sessions and the same is taken for approval from their Head of Department and the
Principal.

(C) Extensive Documentation of Course Content Delivery:

Various initiatives are taken in order to mold the academic activities and processes into outcome oriented

Page 22/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

ones, to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process.

Course outcomes are identified for each subject, and faculty deliver course contents accordingly.

Lesson plans, course diaries, lecture notes, assignments, and question papers are maintained in a
course file.

Class assignments in the form of assessment are used to evaluate students' understanding and
extra attention is given if needed.

Students are encouraged to present topics related to the curriculum, not taught in class to foster
self-learning.

Guest lectures, workshops, industry visits, and discussions with professionals are organized for a
deeper understanding of the subject.

(D) Continuous Evaluation:

University examinations are conducted at the end of each semester, with continuous assessment
tests (CA1, CA2, CA3, CA4) for theory subjects and practical continuous assessment (PCA1,
PCA2) for laboratory subjects.

Assignments, presentations, and viva voce are used for continuous evaluation.

Rubrics are maintained by faculty for qualitative assessment of students.

(E) Learning Beyond Curriculum:

To excel in any discipline, mere assimilation of theoretical concepts is not sufficient. It is equally
important to be able to apply that knowledge in the design and analysis of real world
systems/scenarios. The institute as well as the department thus continuously motivates the
students to participate in various extracurricular activities that enhance and test their real world
technical knowledge.

Overall, the institute strives to create an environment of active learning, engagement and self-
improvement for the holistic development of its students.

Institution integrates crosscutting issues relevant to Professional Ethics, Gender, Human Values,
Environment and Sustainability in transacting the Curriculum

Page 24/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

Response:

The institution is affiliated with MAKAUT (Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology),
which means we follow the curriculum prescribed by the University. While this affiliation limits us from
going radically beyond the established curriculum, we have taken proactive steps to incorporate
crosscutting issues, particularly Ethics and Awareness of the Environment.

Moral Values, Human Values and Professional Ethics

Our first-year curriculum includes an Induction Programme on values and ethics, focusing on integrity,
empathy, and social responsibility. MAKAUT's courses, such as Environmental Science, Values and
Ethics in Professional, Environmental Engineering, etc. emphasize ethical decision-making and
environmental responsibility.

We also encourage the students for the courses like "Ethics in Engineering Practice" MOOCs through
Swayam-NPTEL, allowing students to explore ethics in their engineering field. Believing that human
values should be practiced, not just studied, we organize activities like tree plantation drives and public
awareness campaigns on environmental issues. These initiatives help students engage with the
community and promote sustainability.

Gender Sensitization

HETC firmly believes that gender equity is vital for ensuring the sustainable development of our nation.
To foster this belief, we have taken proactive measures to sensitize and promote gender equity among all
stakeholders through both curricular and co-curricular activities. The Internal Complaint Committee
organizes programmes on Women Empowerment, Laws for Women and Women’s Day.

One of our primary focuses is promoting gender equity among our students. To achieve this, we have
implemented flexible seating arrangements in classrooms, ensuring equal opportunities for all students to
participate and engage actively in the learning process. Additionally, we are committed to ensure equal
representation of different genders in leadership positions, not only at the class level but also in college-
level committees, curricular and co-curricular activities.

Environment and Sustainability

The N.S.S. units at our college actively promote environmental protection through tree plantation and
sustainable development programmes. They organize various initiatives like tree plantation, awareness
programmes, poster competitions, seminars and cultural activities inside and outside campus, inspiring
positive action and awareness. Important days like World Environment Day, AIDS Day and Yoga Day
are celebrated to raise consciousness and foster a sense of responsibility. Regular clean campus drives,
self-defense sessions, and physical education programmes ensure student well-being. Our commitment to
national initiatives like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Tree Plantation programmes contributes to a cleaner
and greener India.

2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1

Mechanism of internal/ external assessment is transparent and the grievance redressal system is
time- bound and efficient

Response:

Hooghly Engineering & Technology College has developed a robust mechanism to ensure that the
process of internal and external assessment is transparent and efficient. The college has an examination
cell which is entrusted with not only conducting the internal and university examinations but also
ensuring redressal of any exam related grievances.

Two invigilators are allotted in each examination hall during university examination. Invigilator’s duty
schedule and sitting arrangement of the students in the examination hall are supplied. A mobile team is
formed for smooth conduction of the examination. The students are not permitted to carry mobile
phones, programmable calculators, books, exercise books, writing boards which are considered as
unauthorised materials in examination hall. Examinees are not allowed to enter the examination hall
without proper uniform during examination. Any kind of unfair means are not allowed in the
examination hall. IP based CCTV camera has been installed in each examination hall. University
appoints an observer to ensure smooth and fair conduction of examination. A bio break sheet for students
is provided in each examination room to prevent any potential cheating or disruptions during the exam.

Mechanism of internal and external assessment is time bound. All the assessments are conducted by
following the university academic calendar. Internal assessments are performed on a continuous basis in
the form of Continuous Assessments (CA). Total four CAs are carried out in each semester. Two out of
four CAs are conducted by taking powerpoint presentations and report writing on the given topics. Rest
two of the Continuous Assessments are conducted by written examination and another is online MCQ
mode of examination. All the teachers of the concerned departments submit a set of question papers
through the Head of the Department to the examination cell well in advance of the commencement of the
exam. Results of all continuous assessments are uploaded in the university portal and students can see the
results from their university portal. Model answers to the semester questions are provided by the
university during evaluation.

For Practical papers continuous assessment PCA-I and PCA-2 of the laboratory classes for the entire

Page 31/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

semester are smoothly conducted by subject teacher and technical assistant. The evaluation of semester
practical examination is done based on conduction of the experiment assigned and a comprehensive Viva-
Voce.

Grievance redressal systems for internal and external examinations are time bound and efficient. Students
are free to report in writing in the university portal about their difficulties with out of syllabus, misprint
in question paper etc. A candidate can apply for post publication review (PPR) within stipulated time
from (but excluding) the date of publication of result, for one or more subject items of the just concluded
end semester examination on payment of a prescribed fee to the Institute as per details indicated from
time to time through notification. After the result of PPR is declared, a fresh grade sheet is issued to the
candidate incorporating changes.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1

Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) for all Programmes offered by the
institution are stated and displayed on website

Response:

Course Outcomes (CO) describes what the students taking that course are expected to know upon
successful completion of the course. It is necessary to quantify the extent to which a student is able to
meet this expectation in order to understand the effectiveness of the existing Teaching Learning process
and introduce improvements to it. A mapping of the Course Outcomes with the Program Outcomes (PO)
and Program Specific Outcomes (PSO) assist in evaluating the level of attainment of POs as well.

When a student gets enrolled for a particular subject during his/her tenure of undergraduate programme,
a list of outputs (outcomes) is expected from him/her upon completion of that particular subject. This list
is defined as the course outcomes (CO). It is often described by the affiliating university in the given
syllabus. However, in some cases if not provided it is prepared with consultation with the concerned
faculty. These outcomes are defined on a rational basis depending upon the course content as well as its
suitability with the real-life technical problems. It is pertinent to have a suitable scale to measure the
expectation achieved, as it directly reflects the prevailing teaching learning process and scope for further
improvement. Hence, for this purpose, COs are mapped with the Program Outcomes (POs) and Program
Specific Outcomes (PSOs). COs obviously get varied from one subject to the other, while POs are kept
fixed. For e.g., a student studying in 1st semester of 3rd year (5th semester) taking a subject named “Soil
Mechanics II” is expected to learn certain things which has been grouped into 6 COs. These include
achieving a thorough knowledge regarding compaction and consolidation process, calculation of earth
pressure in active and passive cases, designing of retaining structures etc. However, these COs get
abruptly changed for another subject such as Engineering Hydrology which is also enlisted in the same
semester. Unlike variable COs, there are predetermined twelve POs which are displayed on website and

Page 32/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

it includes engineering knowledge, problem analysis, design/development of solutions, conduct

investigations of complex problems, modern tool usage, correlation of the engineering works with the
society, environment and sustainability, ethics, importance of both individual as well as team work,
communication skill, involvement in project management and finance and finally life-long learning.
These are some general qualities which society expects from a qualified graduate engineer. On the other
hand, PSOs are mostly defined by the department and the number of PSOs varies from 3-4. Each of the
COs are correlated with a particular PO or PSO on a scale of 1-4 and ‘-‘for no correlation.

The institute follows a typical well-practiced technique for regular assessment of the levels of COs, POs,
PSOs attained. It takes into account the marks secured by that particular student in all of the continuous
assessments (CAs) as well the marks obtained in the final semester examination.

2.6.2

Attainment of POs and COs are evaluated.

Explain with evidence in a maximum of 500 words

Response:

The institute has a well-defined process of regularly assessing the levels of attainment of COs and POs.
After the publication of complete results from the university, POs and COs are evaluated for all
departments.

There are 4 attainment levels 1 to 4, with 4 being the maximum value. The results of the end semester
examinations conducted by the affiliating university are used to determine the attainment of Course
Outcomes for each course. The weighted average marks from the semester result (weightage being
determined in terms of the credit assigned to the course) is taken as the benchmark for the course.

Attainment Level 1: If 4 ? Weighted average marks ? 5.5

Attainment Level 2: If 5.5 < Weighted average marks ? 7
Attainment Level 3: If 7 < Weighted average marks ? 8.5
Attainment Level 4: If 8.5 < Weighted average marks ? 10

This is the mechanism of determining the attainment level of COs of a course.

Determining the Attainment level of POs and PSOs

A correlation table is at first formed (with the correlated values 1-4 and ‘-‘for no correlation) with COs
vs. POs and COs vs. PSOs for every individual course. Then the attainment value of POs and PSOs for a

Page 33/82 27-09-2024 10:38:13

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

course is calculated in reference with obtained attainment value of course outcome in proportion with the
correlation table.

The attainment values for all courses are then consolidated to obtain the final attainment value for each
PO and PSO.

Correlation levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 as defined below:

Level 1: Low
Level 2: Medium
Level 3: High
Level 4: Very High

Weighted average marks are calculated and course attainment level is determined.

Then the attainment calculation of all courses with COs and POs are calculated.

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

Completion and proper human exposure as a civilized individual cannot be achieved with bookish
knowledge alone. Therefore, it requires multi-dimensional practical exposure and exchange of
knowledge derived from personal experiences. This practice of developing oneself as a holistic human
cannot be done suddenly; instead, it requires a well-developed habit which must be practiced on multiple
occasions of diverse genera. Therefore, Hooghly Engineering & Technology College has embarked on
the same journey of motivating and developing socially sensible and responsible citizens through various
activities.

It is the constitutional duty of every individual to uphold the ethos and fabric of the nation as a
responsible citizen. Before indulging our minds into hardcore individualistic and political ideologies, we
as citizens should first understand what our Constitution provides us. The Constitution is a social and
legal concept that guards and provides every citizen legality by reminding its fundamental rights and
duties. Therefore, it can be said that the thoughts and actions of every individual should be guarded under
the name of the Constitution.

Initiatives or efforts taken by Hooghly Engineering & Technology College in providing an

Inclusive Environment and Sensitization of Students and Employees to the Constitutional
Obligations:

1. Panel Discussion: The college organizes panel discussions on tolerance and harmony towards
cultural, regional, linguistic, communal, and socioeconomic diversity.

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

The institution has encountered several challenges in implementing e-learning practices.

Although digital learning is enriching, students do not find a virtual classroom as engaging as a
traditional one. There is an initial reluctance of students to use new technologies.

Students in rural areas face limited internet connectivity, lack of smart devices and inadequate
technology infrastructure. HETC addresses these issues by providing necessary resources and
ensuring uninterrupted services with a dedicated generator during load-shedding.

To ensure reliable evaluation and prevent cheating, we conduct in-house assessments under
CCTV surveillance.

To address concerns about excessive screen time affecting student well-being, HETC organizes
frequent mental and physical awareness programs.

Best Practice 2:

Title: Free Yoga and Self-Defence Sessions for all students

Objectives:

HETC aims to offer students yoga for flexibility, strength and balance, alongside self-defence training for
safety. Our goal is to foster a supportive environment promoting empowerment, confidence and overall
well-being.

Context:

In today's competitive environment, students often neglect extracurricular activities, impacting their
physical and mental health. Yoga and self-defence training promote physical strength, mental focus,
stress reduction and overall well-being, acknowledging the adage that a sound mind resides in a sound
body.

The Practice:

HETC offers free year-round Yoga and Self Defence sessions to all students, collaborating with the
Academy of Self-Defence and Martial Arts Research India. Since 2018, these sessions were initially for
first-year students. The college also hosts annual sports tournaments, ensuring inclusive participation
across socio-economic backgrounds and gender identities.

Are the Initiatives Worthy Enough?

These sessions improve physical and mental health while teaching self-defence skills to participants of
diverse backgrounds and gender identities. Offering free access makes them accessible to a wider
community, promoting health and safety inclusively.

Problems Encountered & Resources Required:

The main challenges faced during the conduction of these sessions were as follows:

1.Even though these sessions are provided for free, retaining participants has become a challenge
due to the academic pressure.

2.Scheduling these sessions on a regular basis is also a challenge due to a number of examinations
conducted throughout the year.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness

7.3.1

Portray the performance of the Institution in one area distinctive to its priority and thrust within
1000 words

Response:

No Capitation Fee, No Management Quota, but Financial Assistance for Economically Challenged
Students

Objective:

Hooghly Engineering & Technology College (HETC) is a highly regarded institution that prioritizes
accessibility and equal opportunities for all students. HETC follows a student-centric approach to ensure
deserving candidates have the opportunity to pursue higher education without being burdened by
financial constraints.

One of HETC's distinctive aspects is the absence of a capitation fee during admission. Students are only
required to pay the prescribed tuition fees and legitimate charges. Eliminating capitation fees ensures that
financial considerations do not hinder students from accessing quality education.

Furthermore, HETC does not employ a management quota for admissions, guaranteeing equal treatment
for all students. Admission decisions are based solely on merit and academic performance, ensuring a
transparent and fair selection process free from external influences.

HETC is committed to support economically challenged students by providing financial assistance such
as scholarships, grants and other forms of aid. This support enables talented students facing financial
difficulties to pursue their education and fulfill their potential.

Purpose:

Page 74/82 27-09-2024 10:38:14

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

The purpose of offering financial assistance is to provide opportunities for economically challenged
students to pursue engineering studies at a leading institute. Despite having challenges, HETC remains
dedicated to this mission. Students from various districts of West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and other
parts of the country join HETC each year. Many of these students come from financially weak families,
often with parents working in the unorganized sector and uncertain livelihoods. HETC considers it a
social duty to support these students by extending financial aid.

During the pandemic, keeping in mind the socio –economic condition of most of the students, the
admission fees were curtailed by 20,000 rupees or more for the needy ones. Even the fee structure was
not increased for the last 5 years.

Moment of Happiness:

HETC, as a society-run college with no capitation fee and management quota, reserves 5% of seats for
the Tuition Fees Waived-off scheme, benefiting economically challenged students. Additionally, other
financially challenged students receive financial assistance from the Hooghly Engineering & Technology
College. It brings great joy when students establish themselves in their professional life. The happiness
multiplies when a meritorious but economically deprived student, aided by the college's financial
support, secures a position in a reputed organization with a good salary.

Scheme Process:

At the beginning of each semester, numerous students apply for merit-cum-means scholarships. The
applications and supporting documents are scrutinized by the committee responsible for selecting the
most deserving candidates. The selection is based on academic scores, social assessment, regular class
attendance, conduct and performance in extracurricular activities of the applicants.

Challenges Encountered:

The College’s income mainly relies on semester fees which have not been changed over the last five
years, while expenditures have significantly increased during this period. This poses a significant
constraint on waiving or partially waiving tuition fees for a larger number of students. Providing
financial assistance to economically challenged students can strain the college's financial resources. If the
demand for financial assistance exceeds the available funds, it becomes challenging for HETC to
accommodate all deserving students. Sustaining the financial assistance programs in the long term is also
challenging, requiring consistent funding and ongoing support.

Required Resources: Increasing the college's intake capacity by introducing new courses or expanding
existing ones, considering placement opportunities and student interest, is necessary. Additionally,
collaborations and partnerships with government schemes, NGOs, and corporate organizations can secure
additional funding for financial assistance programs. Regular assessments and reviews of financial
assistance programs are essential to ensure their sustainability and effectiveness. Establishing a strong
alumni network can create opportunities for economically challenged students in the form of special
scholarship funds as well as provide mentorship, internship opportunities and career guidance to
students, enhancing their overall development and employability.

Future Plans:

Page 75/82 27-09-2024 10:38:14

 Self Study Report of HOOGHLY ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COLLEGE

Despite the constraints, HETC will continue the practice of waiving full or partial tuition fees for
meritorious but economically challenged students. The college will not entertain any form of capitation
fee or management quota in the near or distant future. Starting from 2023-2024 session, the seat of our
Computer Science and Engineering and Electronics and Communications Engineering has been
increased (120 from 90 for CSE and 90 from 60 for ECE), which will help us to continue our endeavor.
Even though all the students are continuously motivated and taught to excel in examination, HETC
continues to improve this endeavour further making more students eligible for various scholarships
provided by different government as well as private agencies which in turn reduces the total financial
burden.
