1.3 CRITERIA WISE SUMMARY

Curricular Aspects

NBNSCOE is affiliated to Solapur University, Solapur (SUS) and follows its curriculum, which is revised after
every four years. NBNSCOE has good strength of senior teachers, who actively participate in the process of
curriculum revision at different capacities, designated by University authorities. Recently SUS has adopted
CBCS pattern to give more choice for students to opt different elective subjects. Thus institute has also
motivated students to choose the courses, based on different cross-cutting issues. Institute has adequate
resources to guide students, in this regard and adheres to the guidelines of SUS for delivery of this curriculum.

Institute plans its academic calendar for every semester, in line with SUS schedule. This calendar includes date-
wise and activity-wise details to ensure the effective delivery of curriculum. Institute has structured mechanism
to take online students feedback twice in a semester, about every subject teacher. Also the review for
completion of syllabus is taken thrice in a semester, to ensure the timely execution of curriculum.

Institute also continuously takes the feedback from student, teachers, alumni, employers and parents, about the
contents of the SUS curriculum. This helps to identify the gap between the industry requirement and the
academic curriculum. Thus based on the current requirement, thrust areas are identified. Accordingly, institute
plans to train the students on these different trends, through well planned Value-Additions Programs (VAP).
Students are also motivated to learn by doing, where they undergo different field projects and industry
internships, before they formulate any of the problem statement for their projects.

Page 38/103 15-01-2018 11:04:56

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

The Institute has separate Internal Examination Committee which takes care of invigilation, smooth
conduct of examination, assessment and internal grievances. Internal examination related
grievances are addressed to quality of question papers, conduct of examination, evaluation of
answer sheets.
Initially a notice regarding submission of question papers is circulated to faculty members
well before the commencement of examination. After receiving the question papers, a
scrutiny committee consisting of 2-3 faculty members assesses the quality of question
papers in terms of adherence to university marking scheme and setting of appropriate
difficulty level. Any shortcomings found in the scrutiny are conveyed to the concerned
subject teacher and due care is taken to minimize grievances.
Internal examinations are scheduled as per the academic calendar. The time tables of
internal examinations (ISE and preliminary examination) and seating arrangements are
displayed on notice board within time. During internal examinations every subject teacher
remains present to address the grievances arising (if any) in the question paper. Internal
squad is appointed for ensuring smooth conduct of internal examination.
Every teacher evaluates the answer sheets of internal examinations within three to four days
of conduction of examination. The evaluated answer sheets are distributed to the students
and critical cases are discussed in the class. The grievances (if any) reported by students
after going through their answer sheets are addressed and changes in marks (if any) are
incorporated in the database accordingly.

During University exams, flying squad appointed by University visits the examination office and
examination venues to inspect functioning of associated activities and personnel. The institute
facilitates the redressal of grievances related to University examinations through notices displayed
on notice boards on regular basis and communication with university examination office as and
when required.

Page 39/103 15-01-2018 11:04:56

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

Provision of CIE in academic calendar:

Academic calendar includes schedule of monthly attendance display, schedule of ISEs and
preliminary examination. This helps students to prepare for the same well in time. It also includes
schedule of display of results of these examinations.
At the middle of semester, when students are done with their half of practical and assignment work;
academic calendar ensures CIE by introducing Mid-semester Submission. This helps students to
understand their status at the mid of semester and they plan corrective actions if required and
improve their performance.
Final year students carry out their project presentations as per academic calendar.
Before the practical/oral examinations of SUS, mock practical/oral examinations are arranged for
the students. Schedule of this mock examination is also prescribed in the academic calendar.
The academic calendar also gives the schedule of various experiential/participative activities
designed by the institute as per the Project Based Learning (PBL) Model such as Lab Innovations,
Industrial Visits, Value Addition Programs (VAP), Technical Events (DISTA and TechnoSinh).
Apart from these technical activities, academic calendar describes tentative schedule of extra-
curricular activities such as sports and cultural. The participation and performance of students in all
such technical and extra-curricular activities is also a part of Continuous Internal Evaluation
process.
The schedule of ICA (Internal Continuous Assessment) is strictly followed as per academic
calendar.
In order to ensure the satisfactory performance of the students in the evaluation process, parents are
also involved in discussions through parent meet organized as per academic calendar. The institute
takes efforts to communicate the requirements and progress of students in the evaluation process
through the Teacher Guardian scheme. This helps in ensuring effective conduct of CIE and
achieving desired outcomes.

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are
evaluated by the institution

Response:

NBNSCOE is committed to attain POs, PSOs and COs defined by SUS and by institute. To measure the
attainment of these outcomes, institute has developed mechanism as follows:

Continuous evaluation during semester: As institute practices CIE rigorously where performance of
each candidate is continuously assessed (CA) by the respective subject teacher during practical/tutorial
sessions. The understanding of every subject is also confirmed through evaluation of ISE by subject
teacher. Through analysis of CA and ISE, TGs review attainment of outcomes in their fortnight meetings.
The level of attainment of COs is evaluated through students’ performance during entire semester by
subject teacher.

Evaluation at the end of semester: At the end of every semester preliminary and mock practical/oral
examinations are conducted. Every subject teacher ensures the attainment of respective COs by evaluating
students’ performance in these examinations. Also TGs gather all the information regarding students’
participation in activities conducted to attain additional COs defined by the institute and evaluate the level
of attainment.

Evaluation at the end of academic year: Students’ performance is evaluated at the end of every
academic year through analysis of University examination (theory and practical/oral) results. It gives
understanding of attainment of COs of the courses undertaken by the students during the academic year. It
also helps in mapping attained COs with prescribed POs.

At the graduation level: At the time of completion of graduation, students’ overall performance

Page 41/103 15-01-2018 11:04:56

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

throughout their education is analyzed. Performance in final university examinations, project work,
placements, GATE/competitive examinations and participation of students in holistic developmental
activities are included in the analysis. This explains level of attainment of the prescribed POs and PSOs.

Feedbacks from stakeholders: Regular feedbacks are taken from all the stakeholders to analyze the level
of attainment of COs, POs and PSOs. The analysis includes feedback from students, alumni, employers,
academicians, examiners and parents.

Review meetings about the attainment of these outcomes are conducted by AMC/IQAC and necessary
reforms are carried out at institute level. If required, these reforms are further put up in SUS syllabus
revision meetings.

5.4 Alumni Engagement

5.4.1 The Alumni Association/Chapters (registered and functional) contributes significantly to the
development of the institution through financial and non financial means during the last five years

Response:

Institute has strong belief that alumni are great role models for current students and are often well placed to
offer practical support to current students as they have already started their professional career. Alumni are
often in the position to engage the expertise of the institution in their professional lives. Our alumni are our
ambassadors. Therefore institute has established an “NBNSCOE Alumni Association” (NAA) on 16th
October, 2015 under the Society Registration Act, 1860 with registration No- Maha-731/2015. Every pass
out student is eligible for life time membership and can become a member by completing registration
process.

NAA has organizational structure as President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and members. It has
total 9 members on this committee where there are 4 alumni who are the part of this committee. One
dedicated staff has been appointed for the coordination of the Alumni cell. This coordinator keeps the track
of our alumnus and also communicates happenings in the institute. These committee members meet twice
in a year. Becoming the member of alumni association is one of the easiest ways to reconnect, give back to
the institute, and serve as a springboard for further involvement. Recently NAA has inaugurated its official
Logo and the idea of logo design is floated through student’s competition.

Alumni Cell organizes the annual alumni meet on last Saturday of February. Alumni meet provides them
the platform to share their past and present experiences as well as recalls their memories in the institute
with their teachers, juniors and friends. The involvement of alumni in supporting and providing
contributions voluntarily to this institute is important for maintaining and expanding an institute’s
development. By establishing channels that can facilitate closer ties between the alumni, students and
institute, it can provide crucial benefits in enriching the student’s experience while being at the institute.

Although at its beginning stage; our alumni are serving their alma mater in following ways-

Participation in the programs, as a resource person.

Regularly expert lectures and guiding new trends in the , work environment, skill enhancements,
professional ethics and catering student’s need of career .
Evaluating various technical events.

Page 69/103 15-01-2018 11:05:06

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

Helping their juniors for getting the placements.

Suggesting modifications in the curriculum.
One of our alumni has spared a handful amount of fund for innovative ideas and projects for final
year students by name – ‘Krishna Kamal Scholarship’. This Scholarship is given every year to
deserving students. Although not demanded, Institute does not deny voluntarily contributions made
by alumni.

As every alumnus has experienced his life at institute through different phases before graduating through
unique and different model of NBNSCOE, hence they find the potential for contributing back for the
development of the institute and support the institute’s reputation.

6.1.2 The institution practices decentralization and participative management

Response:

Institute believes in participative management and hence the powers are decentralized. Academic
decentralization is done through Dean (Academics) in coordination with Dean (PG) with the support of
HoDs, teachers of various departments.

Administrative decentralization is achieved through Dean (Administration) in coordination with registrar

and other support staff from office.

Student affairs are dealt through Dean (Students welfare) in association with HODs, students council and
teacher coordinators.

Institute provides guidance and counseling in view of higher studies and career counseling (HSCC)
through Dean (HSCC) in association with HoDs and teacher coordinators.

Regular activities are carried over through HoDs as per the guidelines of Principal. Registrar takes care of
all the matter related with administrative office.

However all the activities need prior approval of the Principal and the management, if necessary.

This decentralization reduces wastage of time in decision making addressing students and staff issues more
effectively and quickly.

Case Study

The Annual Technical Fest – DISTA

The Annual technical fest DISTA is organized every year. Over 1500 students of Degree and Diploma
Engineering institutes from various colleges in district and nearby area participate in the event. The
technical programs like project exhibition, paper presentation, quiz etc. are the gist of this mega event.

The event is conducted in a systematic manner as follows:

Page 73/103 15-01-2018 11:05:07

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

Initially, central DISTA staff and student coordinator are appointed.

HODs appoint departmental faculty and students coordinators.

A joint meeting is held for fixing committees and their responsibilities
Various committees are formed like campaigning, hospitality and inauguration, transportation,
registration, project exhibition, technical quiz etc. under the central coordinator.
Each committee is usually headed by a faculty member and supported by one or two non teaching
members and several student volunteers.
These committee members are counseled to carry out the necessary activities of the concerned
committee.
The Principal conducts the meeting of all these members prior to event and issue the guidelines
regarding the smooth conduction of the program. On successful completion of program the Institute
appreciates concerned student and staff coordinators. In case of highly commendable efforts put in
by a staff actively involved in execution he/she is also felicitated.
Review meeting with student and staff coordinators is conducted to know any difficulties, problems
they faced in organizing the event and their suggestions for improvements in the future
implementation.

Outcome:

Such events give exposure to work in a team and to work as team leader. Accept real life challenges and
complete them in coordination with other members in stipulated time. This eventually increases smartness
amongst the students and they become ready to face the interviews of multinational companies thus
increasing chances of selection.

students of Second Year and Third Year Engineering.
The class teachers will allot one subject per group of the students. The lab in-charges will take the
follow up and get the mini projects done.
The Dean (Academic) takes the periodic review of the completion of this activity and guides further
improvements if any.
For final year students, students themselves will form the interdisciplinary group and choose a
project in consultation with their guide.
For motivation of the students, best interdisciplinary projects is rewarded Rs. 10,000/- every year.
If multiple projects are found at par the amount is distributed. This amount is sponsored by one of
our esteemed alumni.

Outcome:

This initiative encourages students to work in interdisciplinary projects and enhance their ability to work
in coordination with other department students and staff.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has contributed significantly for institutionalizing the
quality assurance strategies and processes

Response:

Page 81/103 15-01-2018 11:05:10

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

Institute has established IQAC in April 2017 for quality improvement and standardization of the activities
carried over in the institute as per the norms and guidelines of different statutory bodies. Though IQAC is
recently formed, but institute has always taken care of its quality education since its inception in 2010. For
this purpose it has its own Academic Monitoring Committee (AMC) who uses to guide to all the teachers
and administrators about their roles and responsibilities. As per the suggestions by AMC institute has
adopted some of the best practices which has helped to monitor and report all the activities to promote
transparency and student centric approach in the institute. Some of the examples are as follows,

1.Implementation of Online Feedback: From very beginning of the institute it emphasizes more on
its Teaching Learning process. All the teachers prepare their course file and teaching plan
according to the guidelines of AMC and it is well communicated to all the students. Still to ensure
the quality of teaching and the learning level difficulties institute has developed two tier feedback
systems. It is kind of satisfaction survey from the students for teacher regarding every individual
subject they are teaching in the particular semester.

For the effective implementation of the scheme AMC has developed its software to take online feedback
from the students. In this process following parameters of the teachers are considered

Low Voice
Improper Board Writing
Improper Presentation
Poor English
Poor Preparation
Less syllabus covered
Lack of interaction
Incorrect Pronunciation
Doubt Not cleared
Less Explanation

All the students studying in the particular class gives their feedback. It is ensured that at least 80% students
of the class are present at the time of online feedback. Depending upon this feedback ‘no problem
percentage’ for the individual subject and teacher is observed and if teacher has this percentage less than
50, then they are advised to improve in their teaching methodologies.

This type of feedback is taken twice in a semester to assure the satisfaction of the students and to ensure
the quality delivery by the teacher in stipulated time frame. Now, according to the suggestions given by
IQAC some of the parameters in the above feedback are modified and a new system is developed.

1.Implementation Teacher Guardian (TG) Scheme:

NBNSCOE is committed to develop student centric approach. As, most of the students admitting in the
institute are coming from diversified family background therefore it requires continuous monitoring and
mentoring of the students. For this purpose institute from its inception has adopted the unique TG scheme
as per the guidelines of AMC. This scheme ensures performance and overall development of students and
communicates same to the parents of students. As per AMC guidelines TG is appointed for 15 to 20
students who keep the overall data of students like their contact numbers, home address, test marks,
monthly attendance, etc. TG conducts meeting with these students once in a fortnight. Students are
supported by Teacher Guardian as a counselor to ensure academic progress along with their involvement in

Page 82/103 15-01-2018 11:05:10

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

technical, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

For effective implementation of this scheme institute has taken further steps to adopt the concept known as
‘TG at Home’. It helps every TG to better understand the family as well as social background of every
student. It creates strong bonding between TG with student and their parents. This scheme resulted in
improving institutional performance in terms of results, placements and discipline among students.

6.5.2 The institution reviews its teaching learning process, structures & methodologies of operations
and learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms

Response:

Institute continuously upgrades in its teaching learning methodologies to make our graduates industry
ready or to be self employed. For this institute has defined its own structure in line with SUS curriculum.
Some of the initiatives taken by institute to take the review of learning outcomes through teaching learning
process and defined methodologies are as follows:

1.Review of Teaching-Learning Process and its Outcomes: Due to its defined curriculum
NBNSCOE has limited scope to analyze the learning outcomes of the students. Student’s
performance can be known only after evaluation of ISE and ESE. It gives very less exposure for the
students to think out of the box.

To resolve this problem NBNSCOE continuously takes feedbacks from its stake holders and these
feedbacks are discussed in AMC meetings. It has been identified that our students are lagging in practical
approach; therefore NBNSCOE has created an academic environment where students ‘learn by doing’. To
develop this culture AMC has given the guidelines for implementing Project Based Learning (PBL)
approach in the institute. Depending upon the learning levels of the students from SE to BE students
undergoes different projects which are of innovative kind. Thus, learning outcomes are reviewed
periodically through different activities as follows:

These projects are evaluated at the end of every semester by the experts from industry and
academia. The students are judged based on their understanding level in the implementation of
these projects and accordingly marks are given in the scale of 10.
Students also give technical presentations throughout the semester based on any of the topic either
from the curriculum or from recent trends. These presentations are analyzed by the panel of
teachers which assures the learning and understanding level of individual students.
Group discussions and technical quiz competitions are organized for the students where they
showcase their understanding level.
Research paper presentation competitions are arranged where students participate to present their
idea in front of the mixed audience and are been judged by the expert panel.

The outcome of this PBL model have reflected through students participation and awards at different
national level competitions such as ROBOCON, HACKATHON, GO-KART, IIT Techfest and so on.

1.Review of Structures & Methodologies of Operations: NBNSCOE follows the transparent

model, which helps every teacher and the student to know the academic planning for every

Page 83/103 15-01-2018 11:05:10

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

semester. Therefore, it has implemented the rigid structure for preparation of the course file. The
guidelines for the preparation of this course file are given by AMC/IQAC, which contains all the
details required for the implementation of the SUS curriculum. The details of the review process for
this course file is as follows:

Every teacher prepares their course file before the commencement of next semester.
AMC/IQAC form department wise expert committees to verify the content and completion of
course file and report it to higher authorities.
Suggestions (if any) are communicated to the respective teacher and its fulfillment is ensured by
HoD.
Teacher gives monthly attendance which is displayed for the students for their verification and their
queries are solved, if any.
Teacher feedback is taken twice in a semester to ensure the quality of teaching and teachers are
counseled if required.
Regular reviews for the timely completion of syllabus are taken and accordingly remedial actions
are suggested.
Data from all the teachers and TGs are collected to finalize the CIE/ICA marks.

This process ensures the transparent structure of the institute through different parameters for the
evaluation of teachers and students simultaneously. The guidelines for this evaluation and related
suggestions are discussed in AMC/IQAC meetings and accordingly further actions are taken.

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)

Response:

1. Best Practice No.1: Project Based Learning

Title: Project Based Learning

Objectives:

To identify day to day problems and find its optimal solution.

To encourage students for interdisciplinary, industrial sponsored and real time projects
To transform theoretical concepts into deliverable real life applications.
To develop inter personality skills, team spirit, leadership qualities

Context:

Besides basic knowledge of the core subjects pertaining to the branch, student studying in institute and
professional working on field requires to possess graduate attributes. They must know how to mould
themselves to align with requirements and aims of the group and organization they are working with. If
they are unable to acquire graduate attributes then, despite of excellent capabilities not only an individual
but the entire group fails to accomplish goals.

In a project, students learn how to take initiative and responsibility, build their confidence, solving
problems in time, work in a team, communicate ideas and manage themselves more effectively. Learning
happens only when they performs tasks on their own. Project-based learning provides an intentional and
effective opportunity to integrate above personality traits in a disciplined manner with various notional
developments in the curriculum to solve practical problems.

Practice:

Page 97/103 15-01-2018 11:05:15

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

To implement PBL, institute follows various steps in addition to the University syllabus, to make students
to learn through practical approach:

Lab innovations: This scheme is carried out every semester for all students of second and third
year, in which students develop their small innovative ideas. This helps them to implement their
theoretical knowledge to be converted in small projects. This also helps them to build their focus
for mini and major projects. Majority of students actively carry out these projects.
Interdisciplinary projects: Practical problems involve application of various disciplines of
Engineering so institute encourages students to take interdisciplinary projects. Depending upon the
requirement of project students from different disciplines form group in consultation with their
guide. These groups’ provide working solution to be utilized in real world problems. This also
increases the student’s capability to work in coordination with other department students, which
helps them in their further career.
Product based projects: To make industry ready engineers, institute encourages taking product
oriented projects. Problem statement for these projects is formulated after rigorous field survey.
Students identify actual societal need and provide readymade solution to them. They also get the
financial and resource support from the external agencies, through which they get to know about
financial management.
Value Addition Programs: To acquire the skills to carry over any of the project students require
extra knowledge other than university syllabus according to the current needs. Institute offers
specially designed VAPs to address these skills. At the end of every VAP evaluation is done only if
students complete the given projects/assignments.
Project Evaluation: Students completing any kind of projects exhibits it at different competitions
held at institute such as TechnoSinh, PRAYOG and DISTA. These projects are evaluated by
experts from industry and academia. These students are promoted to participate at higher level
competitions outside institute and even at HACKATHON, AVISHKAR initiatives of GoI.

Evidence of Success:

PBL model initiated by the institute is successful as it has reflected in

Improvement of students in understanding core concepts

Achieving skills required for the professional practice
Applying academic knowledge and key skills to solve real-world problems

Two evidences among the various projects to showcase the success of PBL model are:

1.Design and Development of Super Phototherapy of Neonatal Jaundice: This was real time
project to cure jaundice of new born babies. ‘Dr. Kasliwal Medical Care and Research Foundation’
gave grant in terms of finance and resources. Also, ‘Achintya Automation and Medical
Instruments’ sponsored this project and these students have been recruited in the same company to
develop it as a product. After successful implementation and testing it has been widely accepted by
many hospitals. This project has also won many awards at state and national level competitions.
2.Breaking System of racing Car (Go-Kart): This project is developed to participate at National
Kart Racing Championship conducted by Virtualis Motors Sports, Indore. For this project college
has sponsored students to develop their idea through student welfare fund. It has won 14th rank at
National level and awarded with Best Acceleration Runner- up in Indian Karting Championship.

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

Problems encountered and resources required:

As Solapur region is in developing stage therefore sometimes it becomes difficult to implement 100% PBL
culture in the institute due to following problems:

1.Financial Assistants: Most of the students coming from economically poor background so they
depend upon sponsorships provided either by institute or external agencies. Therefore, institute
provides support for students’ innovative ideas through seed money. Institute also strives hard to
get financial assistants through partner organizations by signing MoUs.
2.Unavailability of Equipment due to lack of large scale industries: For product based problem
statements students require to work in large scale industry. Also, they require industrial
instruments/equipments to implement and validate their project outcome. To resolve this problem
institute facilitates interested students to utilize its laboratories and workshop round the clock.

2. Best Practice No.2: Student Development Program (SDP)

Title: Student Development Program

Objectives:

Assist students to develop their academic and career interests

Help students to achieve their short term and long term goals
Train students to improve to match with industry needs
Organize pre-placement trainings, workshops, seminars for students
Provide resources and facilities for their career planning
Analyzing students skill sets by third party assessment

Context:

There is rigorous requirement for SDP as majority of students in institute are from rural background and
they lag in following skills,

1.Presentation skills: Being professional graduates students are required to acquire presentation skills
to deliver their thought process using modern aids
2.Communication Skill: Majority of engineers’ works in corporate where English is globally
accepted language; therefore it requires to groom their verbal skills.
3.Public speaking: Students find it difficult to talk in front of group due to lack in confidence and non
verbal skills.
4.Soft skill: Engineering is professional course where students require knowing etiquettes and
manners while dealing with others.
5.Inexpressive: As these students are strong in technical and analytical skill but due lack of
impressive representation they face problems during interviews.
6.Leadership quality: Due to lack of interpersonal skills student does not take lead in most of the
activities.

Practice:

To implement SDP model in institute following initiatives are taken,

Page 99/103 15-01-2018 11:05:15

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

1.Student presentations: To improve student presentation, communication and public speaking skills
institute provides platform from second year onwards where students give presentations using LCD
projector. It is planned activity which is incorporated in time-table as Student Activity Hour.
Institute appoints dedicated coordinator to monitor the implementation of this activity. Every CC
ensures smooth conduction of student presentations. TG/subject-teacher/allotted-guide use to help
students to prepare and finalize their contents. Every student is evaluated separately during
presentations depending upon their skill sets and knowledge.

This activity is carried out in two phases:

Technical presentation: At second year, group of students gives presentation on any of the technical
topic of their interest. They are free to choose this topic either from curriculum or recent trends.
Profile presentation: At third year, individual student prepares and present his/her profile in the
class. Student is required to present self introduction, goals, achievements and projects carried over
during graduation period.

Student presentation helps them to increase their stage courage, confidence along with verbal and
nonverbal skills.

1.Student training: To make students to face final interviews, institute takes efforts from first year
itself which is monitored by TPO where departments help in smooth conductions of these trainings.
This training module is carried out in four stages

Communication skill: Students at first year undergo communication skill training. A dedicated
teacher is available to conduct these sessions. A separate language lab with required ICT facilities
is available in institute.
Soft-skill: For second year students separate soft-skill training is provided by external experts,
which helps students to improve their nonverbal communication and leadership qualities
Aptitude training: Third year students undergo aptitude training which has different modules as
quantitative and logical reasoning. This helps students to prepare for aptitude tests required for
placements and competitive examinations.
Pre-placement training: When students enter in final year they are trained on company specific
modules which include soft-skills and aptitude training from corporate trainers.

Along with these trainings students are analyzed by third party professionals on the basis of their technical
and not technical skills from second year onwards and their results are shared with every individual and
TG. Accordingly TG counsels students in their merits and demerits.

To help institute, alumni also join their hands in this training program and share their expertise as and
when required.

Evidence of Success:

By following SDP at institute level it has reflected in many ways

1.Placements: Since only four batches have passed out till date and institute has started implementing
SDP model from academic year 2014-15. Year wise number of placements are as, 2013-14(44
students), 2014-15(36 students), 2015-16(100 students) and 2016-17 (192 students). Thus, from

Page 100/103 15-01-2018 11:05:15

 Self Study Report of N. B. Navale Sinhgad College Of Engineering, Kegaon, Solapur

2013-14 till date an exponential rise in students’ placement can be observed after implementation
of SDP model.
2.Participation at various events: Now a day most of the co-curricular and extracurricular activities in
the institute are conducted by the students where students play different roles as coordinators,
volunteers and participants to develop their leadership and soft skills. Students have participated
and won various prizes and awards in the competitions outside institutes based on their presentation
and communication skills
3.Recognition at their work place: It has significantly observed that our alumni have shown
remarkable progress at their respective workplaces. Most of them have received best employee
awards for their contributions. It is due to the active participation of these alumni during their
graduation days in overall SDP modules.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required:

Some of the problem arose at different levels in full fledged implementation of SDP due

to geographical location of institute as,

1.Student level: Students don’t get the exposure to develop their soft skills since they are from rural
area. So, it becomes difficult and time consuming for them to prepare, participate and perform well
in both SDP and academics simultaneously.
2.Trainer level: Since SDP is implemented in time table it becomes difficult to find full time trainers
to be residing in the campus throughout the semester as these kind professional trainers are not
available at Solapur.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness

7.3.1 Describe/Explain the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priority
and thrust
