This document outlines a proposed course structure and delivery philosophy that aims to provide an experiential and skills-based learning experience for students. Key aspects include delivering 75% of course content through in-house faculty, complemented by 25% from industry experts and academicians. Students would be classified into categories and given tailored learning experiences. The course would incorporate industry visits, projects, specialized lectures, and opportunities for research and entrepreneurship to enhance employability. Rigorous exam preparation and competitive exam training is also included. The goal is to develop well-rounded graduates with both strong academic foundation and practical job skills.

2. Drill Q&A session by external and internal faculties
14

15.  Explanations etc.
 Pullout Inserts for pinning and quick
references
15

16. It is expected that major portion of the course work will
be delivered by in-house faculty
 In-house Faculty : 75%
 Eminent academician: 15%
 Technocrats from leading industry: 10%
 Experts - one or two lectures
 Notes: lectures under the category of experts will be
institutionalized (planned in advanced , notified under academic calendar,
having common time slots - the planning for this will be done one semester in
advanced and experts identified and approved with CCM ; an action item for
TPO) and common across all institutional boundaries, this
includes faculty, deans and students.
 Incase, lectures by experts are not complied due to know or
unknown reason/s faculty shall complete the course work
16

17.  Faculty : strictly as per affiliating university
syllabus
 Eminent academician: Selected Topics of syllabus
under the specified module/s – enhanced insight
and better conceptual understanding and
motivation to pursue the subject
 Technocrat: Selected areas (sub-set of syllabus) of
advancement/developments, growth, job
opportunities , foresight – this will provide exposure
to industry trends and practices and beyond
syllabus boundaries, that will enrich the student
knowledge and motivation
 Expert: Motivations, inspirations and knowledge
including sharing of life experiences and
opportunities
17

18.  Technology adoption : Methods (ICT, PPT, Whiteboard)
 Philosophy - experiential learning : industry visits,
virtual lab, laboratory demonstrations, technology-
club, discussions with eminent academicians,
technocrats.
Note: Funded Practice and experimentation Labs that work
beyond institutional hours (technology-club or a pre-
incubator), association with In-house consultancy
projects and powered by skilling certification
academies in strategic areas.
 Subject length and depth, problem solving and
followed by rigorous practice session (last 20% of the
time after syllabus completion) that helps students
(category wise based upon semester performance) to
attempt and practice answering questions by writing -
for examinations (University, etc.)
18

19. 1. Its proposed that an eminent academician start
the course (2 hours minimum).
2. The complete syllabus must be completed
within 75% of the allocated hours as defined
under the teaching scheme plan
3. 75% of the syllabus be taught by institute’s
faculty.
4. 100% strategic coaching for preparing the
students for University examination should be
done by faculty, utilizing the last 20% of the
time estimated for syllabus completion and
100% of time allocated for tutorials.
5. Classification of students: Rankers, Poor,
General and lateral entry
19

20. 1. Categorize students into three categories
1. Poor (English, D-to-D, absentees, poor performance)
2. General
3. Rankers
Approach for theory (University)
1. Continuous module-wise assignments after completion of
module, followed by Q&A
2. Last years University question papers solving (practice
writing and answers under guidance of faculty)
3. Expected questions and answers generated by faculty –
drill questions with answers
4. Final mock test
Approach for practical examination
1. Redo all experiments in a weeks time
2. Drill Q&A session by external and internal faculties
20

21.  Experts (Industry [2 per course] and Academicians[2
percourse]) must contribute up to 25% in terms of
teaching syllabus and going beyond.
 Industry experts coming to teaching must be tapped
for the purpose of : industry visits and tours
[students], faculty visit and exposure, explore
project and job opportunities [TPO], and consultancy
and research and CoE
 Academicians coming from institutes of repute :
faculty will explore opportunities for
examiners/evaluators/selection experts , explore
joint project writing and submission, opportunities
for guiding Ph.D , research paper writing, developing
curricula , laboratories and centers of excellence
 Universal lecture series (beyond subject boundaries)
 Advanced fixation of experts and schedules
