PART A PREFACE
PREFACE
The Cybernetics of Pedagogic execution, with all its allotropes, get
channelized through many an effervescent strategy. It is an irrefutable fact that
academic endeavours can be considered to be fructified when they amount to
moulding the potential human resources into skilled manpower that
participates in the productive activities, in turn, contributing to the overall
development of the nation.
The educational scenario of the nation has been subjected to swift
changes. It may not be an exaggeration to state that every passing day heralds
a development, if not an upheaval. In every society, there have been attempts
to organize the body of existing knowledge, to perceive the natural and also
scientific phenomena not merely with awe and reverence but with inductive
and deductive logic, reasoning and experimentation so as to understand
various occurrences in an enlightened manner. It is to be noted that
technological advancement has always been innovative and explorative.
Some men of such mettle who have assimilated the essence of
educational philosophy established an educational empire
SIDDHARTHA ACADEMY OF GENEREAL & TECHNIAL
EDUCATION has been undertaking a ceaseless endeavours to intellectually
drive the learners hither and yon to scale great academic heights in various
spheres of education.
Many a pioneering venture of the academy speak volumes for the
untiring efforts and relentless endeavours towards realizing the educational
goals. In the process, Siddhartha Academy has achieved a harmonious
commingling of education, philanthropy and culture.
The vision of the academy is realized in the fact that the roots are firm
in primary education and branches are spread far and wide at higher education
making for a meaningful mixture of the soil and globe providing the rich
opportunities for the rightly trained and well groomed professionals competing
for their deserving placements all over the globe. The academy with its alumni
has found a place on the map of the educational world.
SIDDHARTHA ACADEMY THE CREST JEWEL
Away from the ceaseless hustle and bustle of the trading yards, the
incessant passage of trains at the noted railway junction and the majestic, yet
noisy rush of Krishna waters through the spillways of the Prakasam barrage,
some of the best minds of the region nurtured a mission a mission to
make the region educationally enriched and technically advanced. Their
vibrant vision culminated in the establishment of Siddhartha Academy.
SIDDHARTHA ACADEMY OF GENEREAL & TECHNIAL
EDUCATION had been formed in 1975 by a team of 250 philanthropists
with a vision for future to set up and promote such educational institutions of
excellence that would reorient general, technical and professional education
with a holistic approach. Assimilating the advances made in various areas of
activity and considering the educational needs of the region, many institutions
dealing with various academic disciplines have been started.

The performance in surprise quizzes.
Regular attendance to classes
The performance in lab and monthly tests.
Viva voce in lab classes.

Strategies adopted for facilitating Slow Learners:


For every 30 students, 5-6 are usually found to be slow learners. The
faculty counselor assesses the nature of their problem. Students with
psychological / emotional problems are then motivated in a friendly
way to reach their academic goals.
Remedial classes are organized to clarify doubts, re-explaining of
critical topics for improving performance.
Poor performance due to frequent absenteeism is dealt by sending
SMS and registered letters to the parents of such students. Appropriate
counseling with additional teaching, eventually helps to attend classes
regularly.
All the staff members maintain good relation with students and deal with their
problems in a gentle manner.
Each class is divided into a batch of 30-35 students and separate tutorial
classes are conducted to all students for all branches of Undergraduate
courses. Generally, one teacher is assigned for each batch.

Opening and closing dates of class work of each semester, last day of
instruction, list of public holidays, preparatory holidays for semester
end examinations and schedules of internal & semester end exams.
Details of special academic activities like the student paper contests,
youth festivals and workshops are planned by the departments.
Time table for the students is displayed in Notice Boards.
Organizing the teaching-learning and evaluation schedules:
Course-coverage is monitored by HOD and reports the same to the Principal.
Wherever, a deviation is observed, the HOD seeks clarification from the
faculty member concerned. Special remedial class work is planned.
The evaluation procedure for both theory and lab exams are kept transparent.
The teacher issues answer scripts of the periodical tests to students and
internal lab examinations with his / her comments. Discrepancies reported by
any student are verified and necessary action is taken before the marks
statement is finalized. When a student feels dissatisfied with marks allotted,
he / she may seek the intervention of the HOD. If the problem still remains
unaddressed, then the student may bring it to the attention of the principal.

method, based on the nature of the content being instructed.
a) Lecture Method:
The lecture method is used to the extent of 60 to 75 % to explain abstract
and conceptual parts of the subject, which demands critical thinking and
analysis. Teacher presents the relevant data and diagrams through power point
presentation / chalkboard mode.
b) Interactive Method:
The lecture method of teaching is supplemented with the discussion and
interactive method, wherever needed.
(c) Project-based learning:
This method is mostly used for self learning to improve the ability of
student and also to reinforce knowledge received during the lecture. Being a
technical institute, this method is extensively used to provide practical
evidence of the theory learned. Students are asked to prepare projects
involving application of the concepts, principles or laws learnt. The teacher
guides the students at various stages of developing the project to give timely
inputs for the development of the model.
(d) Seminar Method:
From time to time, the teacher involves the active students into the
seminar method. A student is advised to come prepared on a pre-assigned
topic and present a seminar before the faculty and students. This method is
very effective in motivating students to undertake extensive reading, and
develop communication and presentation skills.
(e) Computer Assisted Learning (CAL):
Computer- assisted Learning is one of the effective methods in teaching
and learning process particularly in core subjects. It is used for visualizing,
analyzing and understanding complex topics and in interpretation of large
data.

Educational Objectives and vice versa.
3. In addition, a study is made on Program Objectives with regard to the
overall curricular execution, and the reform requirements of curriculum on
a periodic basis.
4. Departments engage themselves in analyzing the Product conformity as
the prime issue by taking up Campus recruitments, student performance in
competitive examinations and On-site and Off-site feedback from the
employers on the students graduated from the college.
Based on the observations, the college goes on refining and fine
tuning its curriculum to suit the ever changing requirements of the society.
At the end of the course the student should be able to Remember,
Understand, Apply the knowledge gained to the practical problems and by
Analyzing them, they can be able to Evaluate the real engineering problems

What are the proactive mechanisms adopted by the College to facilitate


smooth implementation of research schemes/projects?
Advancing funds for sanctioned projects:
It is a common practice that funding organizations release the first
installment amount along with project sanction order. Investigation start
working on the project as soon as the sanction order is received. Hence,
advancing of funds for any project does not arise.
Providing seed money:
Except AICTE projects, all other projects have a Institutional over
head component. This amount is deposited in a separate account for all
such projects. If a seed money is required for any particular projects, part
of this amount is utilized with the approval of Principal.
autonomy to the principal investigator/coordinator for utilizing
overhead charges:
Principal investigator / co-ordinator is free to utilize Institutional
over head component of that particular project with the approval of the
Principal.
timely release of grants
:
College level research monitoring committee checks the timely
completion of the projects and in term reports to funding agencies. Hence,
release of funds from funding organizations releases timely without any
delay.
timely auditing
:
The College sees that the auditing should be complete and submits
the final reports along with audited reports in time.
submission of utilization certificate to the funding authorities :
Utilization certificates are submitted to funding agencies in time
without any delay.

so as to enable them to acquire a vision for exploration and an insight for
advanced enquiry.
6.1.2 Does the mission statement define the Colleges distinctive
characteristics in terms of addressing the needs of
the society, the
students it seeks to serve, Colleges traditions and value orientations,
vision for the future, etc.?
The college is located in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh which is culturally
and intellectually rich. The vision and mission statements are in line or tune
with the intellectual potential and needs of this region. Most of the students
seeking higher education in this college are from rural areas. There has been
discernible change in quality of life since the establishment of VR Siddhartha
Engineering College in this area.
The college developed its mission statement which is not only
comprehensive but also realistic. The Mission statement stands as the
quintessence of the educational philosophy nurtured by the college in addition
to presenting its commitment to being pragmatic as far as its academic goals
are concerned which are enshrined in its Vision.
The mission statement puts forward three significant characteristics that
the students would acquire by undergoing the teaching-learning process
offered by the curriculum.
The following analysis presents a harmonious commingling of values,
modernity and global perspective of the mission statement
The institutions motive is to mould the learners into globally
competitive technocrats
The college would like to elevate the citizens of the region to
become globally competitive technocrats
The primary mission of the college is to tap the potential and to
create opportunities for the rural and semi-urban youth of the
region to become technocrats who can serve at the global
level.
While recognizing the fact that merely possessing knowledge is
of no avail, the college clearly represents that its programmes
make the students withstand the stiff competition at the
transnational technical environment

theoretical learning. The scale of dexterity whether in
developing a design or in executing it decides the quality and
professional standing of a technocrat. The college believes in
training its products being deft in their respective
specializations
Intellectually adept: The College encourages the students to
have broadened intellectual horizons by offering various
opportunities for them to perceive the technical and semitechnical phenomena from a higher pedestal.
Socially responsible: The College envisages a better tomorrow
for the nation by making its students imbibe a spirit of
responsive nature towards social developments.
A Vision for exploration and an Insight for advanced enquiry
Pragmatic Perception and Proactive nature : The mission
statement clearly indicates that the institution strives to make
the students inculcate and imbibe two of the most significant
soft skills which can enable any conscientious learner to
develop considerable level of proficiency in energizing the
faculties of cognition, namely, Pragmatic perception and Proactive nature.
Enabling the learners: The College does not just merely
educate the learners by offering formulae, but enables them to
conquer the realms of academic heights by acquiring a vision
for exploration and an insight for advanced enquiry.
Beyond the routine: The College would like to make its
students develop a spirit of not confining themselves to beaten
track, stereotyped and oft-experimented items. But, it wants
the students and faculty to undertake advance enquiry.

Values being upheld:


The mission statement of the college crystallizes the spirit of the
institution in positive terms by stating the kind of professionals needed for the
society. The founding fathers of the institution want to continue the rich
traditions established by them and the sterling virtues to be up held forever.

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 College.
The college implemented a few best practices in the recent past years.
Details of two best practices are mentioned below, followed by brief
description of the other best practices.
Best Practice-1
Title of the Practice:
Comprehensive student Monitoring system
Objectives of the Practice

Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College

Page 259

Part D : Criteria - Wise inputs

The college has envisaged and has been implementing a student monitoring
system which enables the institution to contribute to the overall development of
the student.
The following are the objectives of the system.
To enable the administration not only to gauge the curricular
processing from a generic perspective but also to possess a
specific understanding of the entire academic processing even at a
micro level.
In order to encourage the members of faculty to be more precise
in delivering the content.
To identify the student regularity not only at the level of
individual courses but also on a daily basis
To develop a highly transparent and a rationally accountable
system
To enable the parents to have a Ready Reckoner kind of system
in order that they would understand the academic interest being
evinced by their wards.
The Context
Student Monitoring has been a regular phenomenon with any of
the academic institutions. There are age-old practices in the process. It is an
established fact that many of the methods enunciated and systems
administered have not been able to steer the institutions towards a
comprehensive mechanism. In the light of this, the institution has undertaken
an intense analysis of the issue. It is understood that when a system that
incorporates both academic processing and student attendance monitoring at
one go only would stand as a really comprehensive one since it is realized
that student attendance monitoring and academic processing shall not be
considered watertight compartments. Considering the above, the college has
developed such a system which accommodates a comprehensive strategy.
The Practice
As has been presented the mechanism is a multi-layered one
1 A Comprehensive check of Regularity and Punctuality
Student attendance is recorded in every class. Student attendance is taken in
the First Five Minutes of a given class.
Rationale
It presents the assiduity of a student in the sense that the process
registers the extent to which the learner has been evincing interest in all the
subjects. The procedure even though seems to be a trivial item, when
executed, ensures conducive learning environment. The Time frame
presented above relates not only to the regularity but also to the punctuality
of the student.

Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College

Page 260

Part D : Criteria - Wise inputs

Instant consolidation for ready reference

Instant consolidation of student attendance is done by the teacher


as a part of process.
Rationale
Instant consolidation as opposed to the terminal consolidation
gives a clear picture to the teacher regarding a student pertaining to the
number of classes that he/she attended at any given point of time.
3 Recording academic information
In addition to marking attendance, the teacher records the items of
the syllabus covered in the Almanac presented at the end of the register.
Rationale
The institution believes in a monochromic pattern which is
expected to manifest not just in the conduct of examinations but in the regular
day-to-day academic transactions which contribute to the knowledge base of
the students. Hence, the college insists on recording the coverage of syllabus
at the end of the Attendance register of the students
4

Day-wise consolidated report of Attendance and Academics

In addition to the Attendance register which is a regular phenomenon of


academic institutions, the college introduced STUDENT ACTIVITY
REPORT in which every teacher has to record the Basic information after
each of the classes.
A Table is earmarked for each of the working days. The teacher
has to record the Code no of the subject in the time slot in which the class is
handled, present the registered numbers of the Absentees and the academic
items covered.
Rationale
Attendance register maintained by the teacher presents the particulars of a
students attendance for an individual subject. On the other hand, this Report
presents a microcosmic representation about the student attendance related to
any given day for each of sections/classes. All the individual registers need
not be checked when overall information is required regarding any student
pertaining to regularity.
Moreover, it would stand as a counter check for the coverage of syllabus
by the teacher.
Digitizing the Attendance Data
Each of the teachers is expected to post the monthly attendance of the
sections he/she handles on the last working day of the month into the Webbased monitoring portal. A teacher can access with his /her own secure
password, enter the data, check and submit. When it is submitted, the teacher
ceases the right to modify on ones own. If at all any modification needs to be
done for a valid reason, he/she has to submit the request in writing. Such
5

Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College

Page 261

Part D : Criteria - Wise inputs

modifications can be done by the Head of the Department with the prior
permission of the Principal.
Rationale
The digitization not only gives permanence to the data but also offers
swift access to all those that are a part of the system. On the other hand,
because of the secure system the details become tamper free. Hundreds of
man hours have been saved for typing the data since the decentralized entry
makes the process easier.
6

Student Counselors
In spite of growing numbers in intake, the college has not watered down
the process of individual monitoring in the fact that 20 students are allocated
to a teacher who acts as the teacher counselor. The teacher counselors serve
the purpose of mentoring with a comprehensive orientation taking various
aspects into reckoning.
Rationale
The system offers a chance to the individual academic momentum
over and above the group momentum created by the macro level strategies
administered by the college to encourage students towards overall academic
and co-academic development. In addition, the basic soft skills will be
increased in the process as the teachers closely observe and monitor the
students, and the process offers a platform to instill ethical, social and spiritual
values in the students since the interaction would take place in a syllabus-free
and unstructured environment without prejudice to the expected teachertaught relationship.
7

Proctor diary:

The college has developed a system which accommodates close


monitoring not only of student attendance but also of the academic
performance in the formative assessment. A Diary is maintained for each of
the students by the teacher counselor. The said document records monthly
subject-wise student attendance and marks obtained by the student in internal
assessment. The teacher takes up counseling based on both the items. The said
diary gets transferred to the higher class when student gets promoted to the
next class.
Rationale
The said diary stands not only as the micro level data of the academic and
social behavior of the student but also as the perpetual student data sheet.
Information can be elicited regarding any student at any point during his or
her academic career not only pertaining to the current semester but also in
the previous semesters.

Part D : Criteria - Wise inputs

Regular information to the Parents

The college has been leaving no stone unturned in apprising the parents of
the students about the regularity and academic performance of their wards.
Several strategies have been employed in the process. The counselors contact
the parents over mobile phones and letters are sent through registered post to
the addresses on record regarding students who happen to have considerably
low attendance and internal marks explaining the consequences leading to the
detention as per the academic regulations of the college.
Rationale
Even though it is the responsibility of the parents to get in regular touch
with the college to know about the regularity and academic performance of
their wards, the colleges feels it not only an academic responsibility but also a
social responsibility since some of the parents happen to be little or
uneducated who may not possess academic orientation and to put the
prospective technocrats trained at the college on the right track with the help
of the parents.
9 Diagnostic tests
Conduct of diagnostic tests in certain subjects which have tremendous
influence on the future of the students has been a regular feature in the
institution. Remedial classes are conducted based on the performance of the
students
Rationale
The regular Formative assessment shows the current academic
position of a student and Summative assessment represents the academic
knowledge one achieves. In other words, the Entry academic Behavior and
Exit academic Behavior are tested thorough the regular curricular
examinations. But in this world of Outcomes Based Education, the level at
which a student is expected to perform shall also be made clear through
crystallized strategies. It is being done through the Diagnostic test. In addition,
such tests have been depicting the clear distinction between Competence and
Performance of the students.
10 On-line Publication of Attendance and Results:
As has been presented, the college has a very transparent system in
making the information available to the students and their parents. As a
part of the system, digitized particulars of attendance and academic results
are published on the College website which can be accessed from
anywhere. This is done in addition to placing the hard copies of attendance
and result statements in the college notice boards.
Rationale
This enables the parents to know about the regularity and academic
performance of their wards from anywhere. Students also will be wary of

Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College

Page 263

Part D : Criteria - Wise inputs

their behavior, academic and otherwise, since their performance would be


known without exception.
Evidence of success:
The said Comprehensive Student Monitoring system contributed to
the following
The number of prizes in national level competitions has increased
since students have been able to plan their academic schedule
properly and have been improving understanding beyond their
syllabus
Students attendance has increased considerably
The performance in campus placements has also improved
The soft skills of the students have been observed to be on rising note.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
No problems were encountered in the implementation of this practice.
Notes
-------

Best Practice 2
Title of the Practice
Conforming to expected quality norms through ISO.
Objectives of the Practice
The main objective of this practice is to improve the academic standards
and to provide all the academic facilities to the students based on todays need
of the industry/field into which the students enter after they complete the
course.

The Context
The institute thrives to achieve the standards in both academic and
administrative aspects in order to see that students may leave the campus with
excellence in all constructive dimensions after completion of their course. It is
well known that quality assurance through ISO is a best practice in industries
and organizations. It is expected that this mechanism of quality assurance may
be useful in checking and maintaining quality in the educational systems also.
Hence, this practice is implemented in the Institute.
The Practice
The practice involves several faculty members who work for the
attainment of ISO certification. All these members are headed by
Management Representative (MR) who monitors all the processes in the
campus. An external agency is invited every year to assess the quality of the
processes implemented in the campus. After thorough verification and
Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College

Page 264

Part D : Criteria - Wise inputs

discussions and confirming the quality maintenance, the agency extends the
certification period. Apart from the external audit, the MR conducts internal
audits twice a year. In this process, a few experienced faculty members act as
internal auditors and are sent to different departments for audit. The regular
documentation at department level is taken care of by one or two faculty
members called QMS Department level Coordinators.
Evidence of Success
After implementing this practice, the institute developed in several aspects
towards academic and administrative excellence. The certification by external
agency proved that the institute is performing in a better way on par with the
universities and other institutes which attained same level of certification.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required
No problems were encountered in the implementation of this practice. The
institute is continuously thriving by monitoring and bringing out any noncompliance to ISO practices.

Notes
------Any additional information regarding Innovations and Best Practices,
which the College would like to include.
Apart from the above two best practices, the college implemented the
following best practices for the maintenance of the quality of teachinglearning process:
a) Automation of student information
Automated information sharing mechanisms in the institution
enables close monitoring of
student performance as well as
attendance and helps in passing on the same information to their
parents.
Regular feedback from students ensures the effectiveness of
Teaching - learning process and introduction of new elements into
the curriculum from time to time.
b) Best practices for promoting social responsibilities and citizenship
roles among students
Students at the institution are always educated about the social
responsibilities. They have to take up as engineers to undertake areas of
research and development, which will be relevant to the society.
The college motto Technology with Human Face also
exemplifies the service philosophy of the institution.
To achieve this, students are encouraged by the faculty through
various community oriented programmes under N.S.S unit and
reach out to the people of surrounding villages and help them.

Students at every step are encouraged to develop social concern & orient
themselves towards community interest. The college not only initiates
community welfare activities but also supports them throughout:
The college buses are used, to provide transport to patients to
attend medical camps conducted by the NSS units of the college.
The patients are treated in the camp for their ailments and
medicines are provided at free of cost with donations collected
from staff and students.
The N.S.S volunteers also visit orphanages and old age homes and
distribute useful articles to them.
