Institutional preparedness for NEP

1. Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary: ATME College of Engineering is already practicing

Multidisciplinary/Interdisciplinary culture by giving
“open elective” courses under CBCS (Choice Based
Credit System) as per the affiliating University
norms. More emphasis will be given for effective
implementation in future, as the NEP-20 is being
implemented from AY 2021-22 as per the directions
of VTU.

2. Academic bank of credits (ABC): Academic bank of Credits facility will be created as
per the directions of competent authorities like VTU,
GOK, AICTE, etc. as and when the notification is
issued.

Page 17/126 23-08-2022 11:16:12

3. Skill development: Various skill set training is being conducted from the
first year to final year students at different stages
namely soft-skill, aptitude and reasoning skills,
technical training, etc. so as to enhance
employability.

4. Appropriate integration of Indian Knowledge From the academic year 2021-22, the affiliating
system (teaching in Indian Language, culture, using university is permitting to run a B.E. Course in local
online course): (Kannada) language in a few colleges, and hence in
the future, we are also having a plan to opt for the
course to encourage the local candidates who have
English barrier. To uphold the Indian Culture, various
programmes are being conducted in both offline and
online mode.

5. Focus on Outcome based education (OBE): From the inception of the institution, we have been
implementing OBE and our institute is awarded NBA
for four programmes based on OBE Assessment.

6. Distance education/online education: Since our institute is not yet accredited by NAAC
with A+ or above grade, the college at present is not
eligible to take “distance education” courses as per
AICTE. As we are applying for NAAC during the
current academic year, the same is being planned for
the future.

Page 39/126 23-08-2022 11:16:17

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

course teacher. The course teacher is expected to address the issues politely as convincingly as
possible based on the scheme of evaluation.
2.If the student is not convinced, the issue may be taken to the HOD level. The concerned HOD
should call the concerned course teacher for clarification to resolve the issue at his level only. If not
resolved fruitfully, then HOD can constitute a committee comprising two subject experts to get it
valued the blue book(s). Based on the outcome of the committee, the HOD should address the
grievances.
3.Even with all these exercises, the student is not convinced, then it should be referred to the Dean-
Academics where the issue will be resolved mostly by taking inputs from the course teacher,
subject experts committee, and HOD. With the appropriate inquiry, justice will be guaranteed.
4.If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the Dean-Academics, then he/she can approach
the college level grievance Redressal cell.

1.External (SEE) Examinations:

The grievances related to the SEE examination are brought to the notice of the university and the college
will ensure that the grievances of the students are dealt with. A dedicated Examination Management
System (EMS) Team is available in the institution to resolve all the examination related issues like,

1.Queries related to Exam timetable schedule

2.Queries related to Examination fees payment and Receipt verification
3.Queries of Revaluation fees payment and Receipt verification

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Programme and course outcomes for all Programmes offered by the institution are stated and
displayed on website and communicated to teachers and students.

Response:

Page 40/126 23-08-2022 11:16:18

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Outcome Based Education (OBE) is a student-centric teaching and learning approach in which the
course delivery, assessments are planned to achieve stated objectives and outcomes. Course Outcomes
(COs) are statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can
reliably demonstrate at the end of a course.

The course coordinators of the respective courses will prepare the course module at every beginning of the
semester which consists of the syllabus, COs statements, mapping of COs with Program Outcomes
(POs), and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs). The Institution has conducted training programs for all
the faculty members on how to map COs with POs and PSOs using Competency and Performance
Indicator (PI) available in AICTE Exam Reforms document from eminent Resource Persons and also
National Board of Accreditation (NBA) coordinators are deputed to various workshops/Faculty
Development Programs (FDPs) to enhance their knowledge on mapping of COs with POs & PSOs. All the
faculty members in the first class of their respective semester courses brief the COs statements and their
significance to the students broadly.

To create awareness about POs and COs, it has been published and disseminated among the
stakeholders. The extent of student awareness about the POs and COs and their actual performance
reflecting these would be the real indicators of success or outcome of the program. In this regard, our
Institution has taken certain measures to educate and to create awareness about the program outcomes and
course outcomes among the faculty members and students.

Program Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) are published and disseminated as follows:

Published:

1.Departmental Magazine/Newsletter
2.Department Website
3.Faculty and Students hand-out
4.Lab Manuals/Notes
5.Various Department activities such as Alumni meet/Workshop/FDPs/Seminar/Technical Talks

2.6.2 Attainment of programme outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution.

Response:

Page 42/126 23-08-2022 11:16:27

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The attainment process of Course Outcomes (COs), Program Outcomes (POs), and Program Specific
Outcomes (PSOs) begins with defining appropriate COs for all the courses starting from the first year to
the course end year. The university will release the course curriculum along with COs statements for
all the courses as per the academic requirement. The faculty will retain the COs statements defined by the
university or re-define with appropriate reason and correlate with the POs using the Competency and
Performance Indicator (PI) analysis tool available in the AICTE Exam Reforms document. At the
beginning of every academic year, the institution will identify the curricular gaps with standard
procedure. The curricular gaps are fulfilled by organizing various co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities. The Program Assessment Committee (PAC) will assess the level of attainment of COs, POs &
PSOs with the target levels. If any deviations concerning target levels, the same will be forwarded to the
Department Advisory Board (DAB) to take necessary action to fill the gap for the next subsequent years.
The Institution follows a structured Guidelines handbook for Outcome Evaluation.

COs Attainment:

The COs attainment is assessed to measure the progress of each COs. The process of COs attainment
includes Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examination.

Overall CO attainment is calculated by considering the weightage of 30% to CIE and 70% weightage to
Semester End Examination.

POs & PSOs Attainment:

All the COs attained values are evaluated with the Direct Assessment tool (Internal & External
Examinations) and Indirect Assessment tool (Employer Survey, Alumni Survey & Program Exit Survey).

Following are the steps followed to obtain the POs-PSOs attainment.

Step 1: The course coordinator should enter the COs-POs-PSOs mapping in the Course articulation matrix
assessment tool.

Step 2: COs attainment values are multiplied with the CAM and reduced percentage in the subsequent
table and based on the target level set the percentage is converted to the level points 1 to 3.

Step 3: POs attainment through University Examination results is also considered and reduced to level
points 1 to 3.

Step 4: PO and PSO attainment through direct assessment is thus calculated by putting the weightage 70%
to attainment through University Exams and 30% to attainment through IA.

Step 5: Indirect Assessment of PO and PSO is calculated by considering the surveys such as Alumni
Survey, Program Exit Survey, Course Feedback Survey, and Employer Survey.

communication skills, involvement in college activities, department activities, knowledge about the
subject, faculty member`s attitude towards students and colleagues, etc. are considered.

involvement in teaching, maintenance of teaching materials, teamwork, etc.

The Head of the institute evaluates the performance of all the employees including HOD. This evaluation
includes management of staff/students, Department documents, encouraging interpersonal
relationships among staff members, leadership quality, and professionalism, etc.

6.4.3 Institutional strategies for mobilisation of funds and the optimal utilisation of resources

Response:

Infrastructure plays an important role in the education sector which demands huge resources.
Implementation of the suitable strategies for mobilization of funds and the optimal utilization of
resources results in having qualified staff, adequate Infrastructures, relevant facilities, and updating to the
new technology.

ATMECE has a robust policy for resource mobilization of funds. In ATMECE the majority of
financial needs are met majorly by the investment of the management, and a part is met by tuition fees of
students. The staff of ATMECE focuses on Sponsored Projects, Research grants, and Consultancy
opportunities of the Government and Private organizations to meet the physical and infrastructural
resource requirements.

ATMECE focuses on acquiring grants from various non-governmental agencies, corporations, and
individuals including philanthropists and Alumni through suitable agreements and MoUs, Institute adopts
a strong Industry-Institute Interaction program to develop a sustained relationship with corporate to avail
their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) which opens up new avenues for mobilizing resources.

ATMECE encourages Endowment funds to support/recognize meritorious candidates by gold medals and
cash prizes. Institute conducts an annual fest ATMEYA with the funds sponsored by Canara Bank, DK
Construction, RMJ Automation, Jal Mahal, Chethan Industries, HP & Power, and many more.

Optimum utilization of resources in any non-profit organization like ATMECE requires a sense of
belongingness and commitment coupled with passion amongst all its stakeholders, hence a utilization
policy has been implemented in ATMECE.

Prior to the end of the financial year, the budget proposal submitted by various departments is consolidated
by the Principal and is submitted to the Finance committee(FC). FC reviews the consolidated budget and
presents it to the Governing Council(GC) for its approval.

Surplus Funds at ATMECE are used for expansion programs such as the infrastructure, amenities and for
introducing the new courses. When there is a shortfall of funds, the Management of ATMECE takes a short-
term or long-term overdraft for easing the financial condition.

Institutional financial resources are controlled & overviewed by GC under the assistance of the FC.
The institutional accounts are regularly audited by both internal and external statutory audits. The
implementation and deviations from the policy shall be monitored at the level of Heads of the
Departments, Deans, Registrar, Finance Officers, and Principal. All matters of concern shall be brought to
the knowledge of FC and GC for corrective measures if required.

In ATMECE available infrastructure and physical resources are shared among various Departments in
accordance with the Infrastructure Utilization Policy· Staff members are deputed to different
Departments and offices on a need basis.

ATMECE management always strives hard to provide a good working environment to the staff and high-
quality engineering education with an affordable cost to the students in line with the directions of the

Criterion 7 - Institutional Values and Best Practices

7.1 Institutional Values and Social Responsibilities

7.1.1 Measures initiated by the Institution for the promotion of gender equity during the last five
years.

Response:

ATMECE believes in treating men and women fairly, based on their respective needs. The treatment may
not be equal in all senses, but it is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations, and
opportunities. Sincere efforts are made to create an atmosphere free of harassment and discrimination and
a gender equity policy has been framed to encourage the lady staff members and girl students to achieve to
their fullest potential. The institution has a fair gender ratio (Male: Female) of an average of 55:45 for
students 65:35% for staff.

To promote Safety and Security of Women, several programs are conducted throughout the year by
inviting eminent personalities. CCTV cameras are installed at various points in the campus to observe
any untoward incidents. As a security measure, adequate security guards are deployed at various places in
the campus to have a vigilance on the activities of the students and verify the entry of outsiders. The staff
and students are given provision in A-IMS (Academic Information management System) to register
grievances online, and the same will be addressed by the concerned authorities. Girl students are
encouraged to take part in all curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Lady staff members
are encouraged to represent the Institution in the national and international conferences at various
capacities. Women employees are having a fair representation in various committees as members and
Chairpersons. At ATMECE, the lady staff members have been recognised and are promoted to various
positions like Member of Governing Council, Dean, Assistant Administrative Officer etc.

Institution has constituted a College Internal Complaints Committee (CICC) as per the guidelines of
VTU, Supreme court, UGC, Sexual harassment at workplace (prevention, prohibition, and redressal) Act,
2013. Various curricular and co-curricular activities like ethnic walk, Quiz, Dance, Debate etc, are

7.1.3 Describe the facilities in the Institution for the management of the following types of
degradable and non-degradable waste (within 500 words)

Solid waste management

Liquid waste management
Biomedical waste management
E-waste management
Waste recycling system
Hazardous chemicals and radioactive waste management

Response:

ATME College of Engineering has a very good Solid Waste Management system which is included in the
Green Campus Policy. The Institution understands its responsibility in maintaining a sustainable
environment and systematically engages with the 3 R’s of environment-friendliness (Reduce, Reuse and
Recycle). The collection, segregation and treatment of waste is one important task in that regard. Both
degradable and nondegradable wastes are collected and segregated efficiently. The Bio-degradable waste
is treated in the compost yard inside the campus and converted into a useful fertilizer which in turn is used
to manure the gardens and trees on the campus. Solid waste collecting bins are placed in all blocks at
appropriate places like corridors, common rooms, staff rooms, cafeteria for the collection of solid wastes.

Page 92/126 23-08-2022 11:16:43

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The Solid waste is collected from each department and is dumped in a collection pit located within the
campus. The solid waste generated through the Cafeteria is also put into the same pit for preparing the
compost. As a natural initiative, we avoid chemical pesticides for the garden and chemical fertilizers as
manure on the campus. At ATMECE, we encourage the students and teachers to use digital platforms for
assignment submissions thereby reducing the use of paper. Initiatives are taken to spread awareness among
students about food wastage and ways of minimizing it.

ATME College of Engineering has its Sewage water treatment plant. It is a suitable capacity Sewage
Treatment Plant with an aeration tank, settling tank, clarifier, and a filtered water storage tank. The
treatment unit aims at reducing the contaminants to acceptable levels so that they can be used for
gardening. All the used water from all restrooms, common rooms and cafeteria is connected to the plant.
The treated water is efficiently used for watering the vast green campus.

Biomedical waste produced in the college is limited to used sanitary napkins of ladies and biomedical
wastes produced at the primary health care center. Biomedical wastes produced are disposed-off in the
incinerator provided in the girl’s common room.

E-waste generation at our institute is very minimal. Typically, e-waste consists of computers and their
peripherals, discarded electrical or electronic devices, etc. Few measures like-Re-evaluate-try to find one
device with multiple functions, practice good maintenance to extend the life of equipment, buy
environmentally friendly electronic products, etc are being followed in the institute to reduce e-wastes. The
e-wastes generated are stored in one place. The disposal of the e-waste is executed in association with Sogo
e-waste management, Bangalore, a KSPCB certified E-waste management company.

There are no Hazardous chemicals and radioactive waste produced on the campus. Hence there is no
facility to handle such waste on the campus.

7.1.8 Describe the Institutional efforts/initiatives in providing an inclusive environment i.e., tolerance
and harmony towards cultural, regional, linguistic, communal socioeconomic and other diversities
(within 500 words).

Response:

The fundamental indicator of an “inclusive environment for diversities” would be the presence of
diversity within the environment. Our nation is known for ‘unity in diversity. The faculty and students of
ATME have considerable diversity in terms of culture, religion, language, or any other diversity factors.
The harmonious workflow is a direct result of the practiced intolerance and the cultivation of an inclusive
environment for all such diversities. The Institute strictly deals with any case of racial and communal
discrimination.

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual.

Response:

Title of the Practice: Use of SRS (Student Response System) in the class.

Objective: To understand the ‘level of understanding of the topics by every student in the class-leading to

Page 99/126 23-08-2022 11:16:43

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

subsequent identification of Slow learners and Advanced learners. Also, to assess the effectiveness of
Faculty or TLP adopted.

Context: In a class, usually, we find students with different learning abilities. It is sometimes a challenging
task to find out who has understood the topics taught and who has not. We need to know how the students
are understanding the topic much before the Internal assessment test or SEE. If a faculty gets an idea about
the understanding levels of each student on each topic in advance, it will help him plan his future classes
and evaluation process. It not only gives the knowledge about student’s abilities but also helps to assess
the effectiveness of staff members or the TLP adopted.

The Practice: The faculty prepares a set of MCQs on the topics covered (Usually one per module), with
appropriate illustrations or videos. All the prepared questions with key answers are fed into the SRS using
a computer installed with the SRS software. The computer is connected to the projector in the classroom. A
response pad is issued to each student before the exercise. The response pad of each student has an
individual identity(numbered) and is mapped to a particular student before the test. The questions are
displayed on the screen followed by choices below each question. Students must select the right answer
and press the appropriate button on the response pad given to them. Once all the students have keyed in
their responses. The faculty closes the response option for that question and starts with the next question. A
timer facility is also included wherein the response time to each could be set before the test and student has
to submit his response within that time. But it is optional. Similar exercise is done for all the questions. At
the end of each question, after all student answers/ at the end of timer, the correct answer will be displayed
which helps each student know the correct answer. The questions asked, may belong to different
categories such as only text contents or figures or even the Audio/videos which can be played as a part of
the questions. Once all the questions are answered by the student, the faculty ends the session. The results
of the quiz could be immediately shown on the screen. The results can be seen in many ways, like, the
total marks scored by each student, the questions with most correct answers, the questions with most
wrong answers. The results could be displayed with nice bar charts, pie-charts or simple excel sheet. This
allows all the students about their individual performance as well as the whole class’s performance. More
importantly it provides a valuable data to the faculty about the understanding of the topics by the students.
The data like how many of them have clearly understood and how many have not. It is not only the
number, but it also indicates who has understood and who has not. This helps the faculty to identify the
topics that needs to be revisited in the class for better understanding by the student. This will greatly help
the faculty to plan for the further actions need to be taken. Apart from this a faculty can also identify the
slow learners in the class and plan extra activities to bring them at par with other students.

Evidence of success: The results could be extensively used for detailed analysis. The results are given in
the attachments are self-explanatory. They clearly indicate the understanding-level each student pertaining
to a topic. Based on this this the faculty shall be able to identify slow learners and advanced learners. The
faculty shall also be able to This infers the gap between the content delivery and student understanding.
This facilitates the faculty to take appropriate actions to reduce the gap.

Problems encountered and resources required: There are no significant problems encountered in using
SRS. However, the training the faculty with SRS software and to use the system effectively requires some
training. The Analysis of the result and further planning needs some efforts. The faculty need to have
thorough knowledge of the subject as well as different pedagogical methods to implement the remedial
measures for the system to be effective. In the real time situation, normally, the class contains around sixty
students sitting in the same hall. This may lead to exchange of information among the students. The
honesty and integrity of the student play a major role in this matter. But with strict vigilance and

Page 100/126 23-08-2022 11:16:43

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

supervision with the help of one more staff member during the quiz a fair result can be expected.

Resources required are the SRS hardware and software, a laptop, and the projector in the classroom. The
prominent resource in this matter is the expertise of the faculty in framing appropriate questions and
analyzing the answers. This has a direct impact on the success of the SRS. The knowledge and experience
of the staff members about pedagogy is another requirement for the remedial measures that are to be
followed.

Best Practice-II

Title: Academic Information Management System (A-IMS)

Objectives:

ATMECE in pursuit of the effective implementation of the mission of Institute, believes in using ICT
extensively, for academic and administrative activities. The objectives are,

1.To enhance the quality of governance by effective participation, increased transparency, and
actionable accountability.
2.To achieve efficiency in all the operations of the Institute like admissions, Teaching-Learning,
administration, Examinations, accounts, and HR wings.
3.To provide access to the stake holders for required information like important
communications/circulars/notices anytime anywhere.
4.To minimize paper usage and achieve a paperless administration within the institute.

The Context:

Use of Information Communication Technology in the current education system has become an essential
requirement. The fast and right decision making is vital for any progressive environment. This
necessitates the access to real time comprehensive information which could only be possible in the digital
form. The information in HEI has many segments like admission process, academics, evaluation,
administration, human resource management, student report, research, infrastructure, and maintenance etc.
As all stake holders are constantly engaged with the activities of the institute the transparency and
accountability become an essential part of the system. The information uploaded or downloaded must be
authorized and reliable. Any system developed to address all the above-mentioned issues should also be
user friendly to make it less cumbersome. To address all these ATMECE has come up with an ERP
solution in the form of A-IMS.

The Practice:

A-IMS is extensively and effectively implemented in all activities of the institution. All stake holders are
given access appropriately based on their role in the process. The areas and scope are briefly mentioned
below.

1.Admission and Fee: To ensure effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency of the admission process
A-IMS provides a platform for publication of admission related information like number of seats
available in each program, Fee structure, Cut-off ranking of previous years, etc. online registration
facility for prospective students, maintain a follow-up and help prospective students through

Page 101/126 23-08-2022 11:16:43

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

online support system and FAQs. Computerized admission process, collection of student
documents (Mark cards, certificates, etc.), allotment of hostels, opting for transportation service,
generation of IDs, etc. are carried out through A-IMS. Generation of receipts for fees paid for
various purposes is also done using A-IMS.
2.Academic Activities: All activities related to TLP are constantly updated on daily basis. The
faculty enters the lesson plan on the A-IMS before the commencement of the semester. Soon after
the class, the faculty updates the attendance, topic of the class conducted and if any deviation from
the class planned on A-IMS. The report of the student attendance will be available in A-IMS. The
report comprises class wise, subject wise attendance. This facilitates the HOD to monitor the
students’ attendance and take corrective action on time-to-time basis. Faculty uploads study
materials, assignment on A-IMS, by mentioning the due date within which the students must
submit the assignment. Faculty enters attendance and marks of Internal assessment conducted and
the same information is available for all stakeholders. SEE results are also updated after each
semester and the software can generate various reports about result for detailed analysis by the
concerned authorities. The information about any co-curricular or extracurricular events that are
organized is also made available in A-IMS.
3.Student Support: Apart from academic supports mentioned above, students can avail information
about all the department level and college level activities through various circulars are notices that
are posted in A-IMS. Students having any grievance can use A-IMS to upload their grievance. The
issue will be addressed by the concerned faculty, HOD and Principal as per the need. The issue will
be marked resolved after the solution is provided. A-IMS consists of database of all the students
studying in ATMECE. Faculty, HOD, or Principal can send mail and messages to the students and
their parents on need basis using A-IMS. Student mentoring system is very well defined in the
institute. Where in each faculty conduct one-to-one counselling sessions and enter the detailed
report to the A-IMS. The counselling details are available for higher authorities for further plan of
action. Information about placement and training activities are always available to students on real
time basis. Type of training program and their schedules are updated regularly by the placement
coordinators. The database of the visiting company’s profile, job description, selection criteria, cut-
off percentage if any, etc. are made available to students in advance. Students give their valuable
feedback on faculty or any other co-curricular activities and, also participate in various surveys that
are conducted for NBA and NAAC through A-IMS.
4.Human Resource Management: The faculty profile at the time of employment and successive
performance of faculty, appraisal process, research, and other related activities are very well
documented and updated regularly in A-IMS. Role and responsibility handled by each employee at
various capacities in the department and institution level committees and the details about the
FDPs, workshops, seminars they have attended, certification courses, STTPs etc. they have
attended are constantly updated and verified by the reporting managers. A-IMS has a separate
section dedicated to maintaining the faculty details regarding Leave and salary details. Faculty
willing to avail leave, apply for leave by making an alternate arrangement for the class if there is
any. The leave will be approved by HOD and then by the principal. Provision for obtaining the pay
slip is also made available in the A-IMS.
5.Administration: It is a very challenging task for the management to monitor and keep track of
various activities of all departments. The very dynamic nature of data and information makes it
more complex. A very good data management system can bring down delays and errors in
administration matters. A-IMS plays an effective role in administrative activities. The information
flow on all matters to various stakeholders involved is very time efficient. The administrative
decisions made are made available to all concerned instantly which reduces the delay in actions
due to miscommunication or non-communication. Administrators at various levels are given access

Page 102/126 23-08-2022 11:16:43

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

to the required information almost on a real time basis which helps them to suitably monitor the
activities. Faculty attendance (biometric) maintenance, salary processing, Grievance redressal, etc.
are made faster, efficient, and transparent with the help of A-IMS. Many reports could be
generated for detailed analysis depending on the issue to the people in the organization depending
on their role and responsibility or authority level. This will greatly help in reforming the Policies or
programs in the college. Inventory control, stock verification and maintenance related details are
constantly updated in A-IMS and available for verification at any time for the authorities. Students,
immediately after the completion of their course automatically marked as Alumni in A-IMS. This
will allow them to continue to interact and involve in all activities of Alumni association and be
part of ATMECE family forever.

Evidence of success:

The Seamless functioning of all departments because of efficient communication and in-time availability
of the required information reflects on the effective use of A-IMS. Regular updating of all the
information by various stake holders and the same is made available at the users end instantly, avoids any
unnecessary delays in the activity because of lack of communication or the lack of information. The
various reports available in A-IMS at different levels facilitates the process of correct and fast decision
making for which objective the A-IMS was implemented. The clarity, transparency, and easy access
(anytime anywhere) makes it more valuable effective. As the required data are always available at the
finger tips the time saved on collecting data from various sources is saved and could be put into other
productive work. Many parents have appreciated the login facility given to them and the reports &
information available has made them to monitor the student’s progress very well.

Problems Encountered and Resources required:

The major challenge faced was much before the implementation of A-IMS. Listing of all activities
related to various sections of the institute was a huge task. The various activities belonging to admissions,
academic, examinations, placement, co-curricular, extra-curricular, human resource management,
administrations, etc. are first listed meticulously and later interlinked depending on functionality. Different
stake holders and their roles & responsibilities were to be clearly defined in order to have clarity and
transparency in the system. The affiliated University and AICTE policies and regulations are also
considered thoroughly before finalizing the structure. All these was challenging and needed inputs from all
concerned. The dynamic nature of the curriculum and evaluation processes which is constantly evolving
also poses new task to the adaptability and flexibility of the system. After initial glitches and later when the
users become familiar with the system, now the functioning is lot smoother and efficient.

A-IMS is a web based and mobile based application available to users belonging to all stake holders of
ATMECE through PCs, Smart phones. The system is compatible with networks like LAN, WIFI, internet
and intranet. The user must possess at least one of the above-mentioned devices and a good network
connection to be a part of the A-IMS. As the services are outsourced, the server maintenance and other
software related issues are taken care by the service provider.

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:

The vision of the Institute is the Development of academically excellent, culturally vibrant, socially
responsible, and globally competent human resources. ATMECE understands that, for achieving its
goal, the effective implementation of all the planned activities is very crucial. Faculty members are the
executors who implement all planned activities like lecturing, training, evaluating, mentoring, and any
other academic-related activities. The faculty members must be always kept motivated always. ATMECE
believes in giving ample opportunity and encouragement to its faculty members to perform at the highest
level.

The 360-degree appraisal system is one such effort by ATMECE. The objective is to optimize the
contribution of individual Faculty to meet the needs of the Institution. The management provides the
necessary assistance to improve the performance. The faculty are recognized for their contributions by
giving performance incentives, promotions, and awards. The entire feedback process is carried out using A-
IMS, a web-based, and mobile-based ERP solution used in the college.

All the Faculty members are appraised at least once a year. The following table shows the weightage
given to the different criteria of the appraisal system. The parameters in each category are chosen very
carefully to make it comprehensive. The feedbacks were taken at appropriate times during the academic
year and gets culminated with the Management’s appraisal process.

Summary

Student’s performance and feedback carry more weightage as it is the primary responsibility of the faculty
to see that students are benefited by his teachings and guidance. Each carry 100 marks and a combined
weightage of 40%. Further, the student’s performance is measured considering both the pass percentage
and marks scored. It is not only that the students pass the exams but should pass with good marks. This
encourages the faculty to adopt innovative and effective TLP.

Self-appraisal part has three sub-sections. First sub-section is about Teaching, Learning and
Evaluation related activities both at college level and University level. This encourages Faculty to involve
and implement innovative teaching methodologies in TLP and to participate in University activities like
question paper setting, valuation, squad duties etc. The second sub-section is about co-curricular,
Extension and Profession related activities which mainly focuses on number of FDPs, Conferences and
Seminars attended in various capacities by the faculty member in that assessment year. This also includes
networking of the faculty with Professional bodies, Industry and Various statutory and non-statutory
bodies. The third sub-section focuses on Research related activities. Faculty members are encouraged to
author technical books, book chapters and knowledge-based volumes. Appropriate weightage has been
given to the proposal writing, the amount, and sanctioned amount. Institution encourages Patents, MOUs,
and consultancies with external agencies. The management is giving financial support for all the research-
related activities.

The next part is a co-worker’s appraisal related to the faculty member’s ability to work in a Team.
Though it is given a 5% weightage it can disclose many things about the behavior of a faculty.

The next part involves appraisal by the reporting managers namely, HOD assesses the faculty based on the
responsibilities taken, regularity, cooperation with the colleagues, behavior with the students, contributions
to the departmental works and maintenance of documents like Lesson plan, Work done dairy, attendance
etc.

The principal will assess the faculty based on the contributions in college-level events, interactions with
the outside world etc. The evaluation includes management of staff/student, management of Department
documents, leadership quality and professionalism.

At the end, the Management will have one-to-one appraisal meeting with each faculty. Management
represented by the Honorable Chairman along with the other Trustees will carefully assess the performance
of the faculty. The faculty shall be given ample opportunity to present the faculty’s ideas and proposals
about self-improvement, Departmental and Institutional development. Faculty’s awareness about the
Vision, Mission, PEO and Employees handbook are thoroughly reviewed at this stage. The parameters like

Page 105/126 23-08-2022 11:16:43

 Self Study Report of ATME COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

job satisfaction level, professional development, involvement in Research activities and Teamwork are
given importance. The weightage given for the Management appraisal is 10%.

At the end of the process, the points are tabulated, and the faculties are categorized into six categories A+,
A, A-, B+, B and B-. Based on the category Performance Incentives are given. The incentives are in the
form of percentage of Basic salary ranging from maximum 8% to minimum 2%. This is incentive is
additional to the regular annual increment in basic pay and Dearness allowance. Further, a committee
comprising of the Management, Principal and HODs select three faculty members for ‘Best Teacher of
the Year’ award, one Best Technical staff and one Best supporting staff award is also conferred for
the deserving non-teaching staff members. Best Teacher award carries a Trophy, Cash prize of Rs. 5000/-
and a grant of Rs. 15,000/- which the faculty can utilize for the procurement of any teaching aid of his/her
choice. This will be donated to the Department as a contribution of the faculty to the department. ‘Best
Technical Staff’ and ‘Best Supporting Staff’ also receive a Trophy and a Cash Prize of Rs. 5,000/-.

The Appraisal system based on 360-degree feedback motivates the Staff member to optimally utilize
every ability that he possesses and resources that are available to perform better.

This appraisal system encourages the faculty to have a better understanding of self. This facilitates the
faculty to plan accordingly. The faculty can seek approval and help from the HOD, Principal and The
Management for the effective implementation of the proposed plan.

ATMECE strongly believes that this comprehensive system motivates a faculty member to perform at the
highest level and contribute towards the fulfillment of the vision of the Institute.
