7 2. INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL (IDP) 2.1 Executive Summary 1. To identify the current strength, weakness, opportunity and threats to the institution. Based on this SWOT data, a strategic planning is to be developed which aims at the general development objective designing. From these general development objectives concerned specific objectives are fixed which are executed as per the predefined action plan. the institution development proposal heals from the SWOT analysis being concluded 2. The graduate employability is the key factor of importance in the institution development proposal as TEQIP II is being developed around it. Certain strategies are set out to increase and monitor the employability of graduates. By the end of the project period it is being targeted to increase the placement percentage to 70 in case of B.Tech students and 50 in case of M.Tech students 3. To increase the transition rate from 1st year to 2nd year from the current figure of 38.50% for all students to increase in four years to 100%. similarly, in the consecutive years. 4. To enhance the research thrust and thus increasing the no of research projects, consultation activities, collaboration with industry etc. this aids in increasing the no. of research scholars and papers published. For TEQIP sub component 1.2 this would be beneficial 5. Target to increase the Revenue generation from externally funded R&D projects and consultancies in total revenue (Rs. in crores) from today s 0.10 to To strengthen PG programs to its notch 7. Continuously cater the needs of the faculty requiring additional training 8. To target for the 100% accreditation of all the eligible UG and PG programs phase wise in a span of this project period 9. To procure and effectively use all the learning resources 10. To introduce innovative PG programs like be started in two phases. M.Tech - Human Computer Interaction from the academic year -12 M.Tech Structural Engineering from the academic year -12 M.Tech Environmental from the academic year M.Tech Nano Technology from the academic year subsequently aim for obtaining the autonomy status in two years 7

8 2.2 SWOT Analysis Methodology Used The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis is a tool to asses the position of an institution in the constantly improving business society. The strengths and weaknesses of the institution lie in its internal environment. The opportunities and threats lie in the external environment. The result of the SWOT analysis helps in the precise identification of the SWOT for the institution. Having identified the same, the institution can devise suitable strategies to sustain competitive advantage in the society. A college level steering committee was formed for the strategic planning in the month of July SWOT analysis was carried out for many types of decision making. They were strategic, long-term, annual departmental planning exercise and an overall attempt to bring about an institutional level change. Because with the decisions and implementation of the SWOT analysis, multiple stakeholders are being affected, SWOT survey was carried as a group activity and hence involved a diverse mix of specialists and generalists. For this SWOT, aimed at strategic decision making, top management and head of the institution and heads of the various departments unit heads participated. Also an institutional level debate was conducted which was a platform for free and constructive exchange of information and ideas. A systematic recording of all points raised in the discussion was done. With this, a raw SWOT was prepared. SWOT cannot be just subjective and vague plain talking. Key points need to be supported by data and the information that flows from it. Strengths and weaknesses were thus derived from internal attributes, such as availability of competences and physical resources or the lack of it. Opportunities and threats emanate from environment; therefore the data that helps to analyze these elements was more macro. College level steering committee broke this big and complex job down into more manageable chunks and thus completed the assigned task in 13 days. The following are the details of the activities carried out and the members involved.

Annexure gives the feedback mechanism employed, the steering committee details. Stakeholder requirements & expectations: Employers : immediate applications of Knowledge and Skills acquired Students : Both immediate employment and long-term employability Parents: Prosperous careers for their wards. Staff : Effective Learning by Students ADEQUACY OF PARTICIPATION OF THE STAKEHOLDERS Interacting and taking the valuable feedback of various stakeholders was an eight days job for the steering committee. Before the actual implementation, a detailed presentation of the TEQIP II project, significance and need of the SWOT analysis was delivered by the Head of the institution, Dr. Mohd. 10

11 Zafar Shaik. All BoG members, Heads of all the departments and 52 MBA 4 th semester students were present for the seminar. A steering committee being formed took up the job of interacting with the stakeholders thus taking their feedback and valuable suggestions. 536 students of various branches and various levels were interacted. The committee could take feedback from 104 faculties of various departments from various designations out of the total strength of 147. As the MBA departmental faculties were the facilitators, they were not included (8). While out of the remaining 35 faculty, 4 were on maternity leave, 2 faculty were deputed to a conference, 7 faculty were onduty for college, and the rest on casual and medical leaves. 27 Technical staff was interacted. Also, the administrative staff was taken into account for the identification of the SWOT. Similarly, 9 Non technical staff and 9 available Substaff were considered. An alumni meet was organized on 01 st August 2010 in the college campus by the alumni coordinator and in that meet the steering committee involved themselves very actively in interacting with the alumni as their feedback and suggestions would be of equally importance for the identification the SWOT. Similarly, a parent s meet was conducted on 08 th August 2010 in the college campus by the office administrative staff. The steering committee members collectively made this meet a big success even though only 51 parents were present. Their practical ideas and areas of thinking were very useful. The college placement coordinator conducted a meet with the employers who absorbed our alumni in the past 3 years. Along with the placement coordinator, the steering committee members interacted with them for their valuable suggestions. Above all these activities, an institutional level debate was conducted which was an open platform for the various stake holders (in units of max of 3) to debate on the constructive ideas. 10 MBA students were made to monitor the debate and record all the points. Later, key members of the steering committee formed a round table conference for the final analysis of the raw stake holder s data. SWOT ANALYSIS RESULTS In carrying out the SWOT analysis, a balanced approach has been adopted so that the views of all constituencies are included. It is recognized that different perceptions may exist depending on the representative group consulted. Therefore, considerable effort has been spent to reconfirm the identified strengths and weaknesses. The external look to identify opportunities and threats is considered complimentary to the internal self-study in the SWOT analysis. National and regional 11

12 influences and concerns are of paramount importance when deciding about the strategies and actions to address the weaknesses. STRENGTHS These are the attributes of the college that likely will be helpful to and have a positive effect on the achievement of the institutional goals. The main identified current strengths of the institute, on which it can rely to pursue its further objectives include the following: 1. Good reputation in state and region based on outcomes based on research Recognition and respect of the institute among its peers experiencing growth and change. Affiliated to JNTUH with a mandate to serve the region. Comprehensive engineering programs NBA accredited 2. Human Resource Excellent and dedicated student-centered faculty Committed staff Outstanding faculty who want to be here Good collegiality Many "mid-career" faculty in their prime 3. Quality education Technical competence Student handbook Focus on practicality Opportunity for undergraduate students to be involved in research A highly affordable and high quality education High student pass rate Quality and adaptivity of the curriculum Personalize education Student oriented Professors do the teaching Good student disability program Personal attention and regular student counseling 12

13 Availability of scholarships to both poor as well as meritorious students Excellent placement for our graduates Quality of graduates College level anti ragging committee Good interaction between B.Tech and M.Tech students. Industrial tours to the students Other than the university curriculum, GATE and IES syllabus is covered. The only marati linguistic minority in the state to incur the technical education for marati students. Thus helping the marati community. Teaching learning process ** ** The teaching-learning process at is shaped by a view of education as a process of awakening the "teacher within," so that our students will become lifelong learners. Here at Aurora, Students are encouraged to be active, involved learners. The College provides extensive opportunities for students and faculty to interact with each other as persons, to learn from each other in a cooperative community, an important aspect of which is collaborative student/faculty research. This education is carried on with a concern for the world in which we live and for improving human society. In this aspect, the college has introduces a new concept of the student handbook in the year The College strives to educate morally sensitive leaders for future generations. It comprises of Guest Lectures, Student Seminars, Adjunct Courses, Learning Groups. Student seminar topics are prescribed to the students from referred journals available in the college library. This aids in improving the student technical standards and the practice of continuous library visiting by the students. 4. Infrastructure IT infrastructure/video lectures Good research facilities Excellent facilities/interdepartmental cooperation Engineering outreach Tech help: gets us to understand and meet customer needs good library facility good indoor and outdoor sports facilities luxurious and comfortable transportation facility to all students and staff 5. College culture Well developed Organizational procedure manuals 13

14 Introduced Pay for Performance scheme in Here, faculty is paid extra for their proportional performance which includes 40% HRA, merged scale, along with several other allowances. WEAKNESSES These are the attributes of the college that likely will have a negative effect on achievement of the institutional goals. Areas that need improvement, as currently seen by the faculty, staff and students, include the following: 1. Lack of Financial Resources Multiple budget cuts and budget holdbacks Summer school funding Insufficient TA funding Lack of good health care programs No startup packages for faculty Program-specific plans and budgeting are lacking 2. Student limitations Students: too demanding and restrictive Not enough "resources" to meet the diverse range of students Need more teaching assistants and lab faculties Co-curricular activities are not being much concentrated because of the tightly coupled university s weekly schedule. Graduate-education leadership is decentralized. Provides no incentives to students to achieve institutional goals. Resourcing from within the Department forces postgraduate and undergraduate students to compete for resources Departmental level Direction, planning, and resource allocation are lacking but essential to success. 3. Academic Programs Low availability of elective classes Have underperforming departments Students need help with time management Lack of summer/winter courses because of the university s tightly constrained almanac. Lack of courses for post grad program. 14

15 Relatively weak graduate program curriculum(uneven) Swinging pendulum from teaching to research Uneven research supervision of students Limited course offerings Very large class sizes OPPORTUNITIES These are the conditions external to the college/ that likely will have a positive effect on achievement of the institutional goals. The main identified opportunities resulting from the above assessments include the following: 1. Internal Increase department interdependence Research collaboration Teaching with teams Opportunity to build new buildings Advocacy within upper administration Full utilization of our strengths Streamline curriculum Increase involvement in energy/environmental sustainability Have flexibility in faculty recruitment (twice in a year. June/Dec) Engagement/Outreach/Development Public Relations Increase status of engineering as profession, not a commodity Develop more cross-disciplinary research Low level of R&D in the industry. Hence in-house R&D to be encouraged Expand research into new areas scope for providing consultation, training and innovative developments Demand for web-based information on the institution and its services and willingness to take admission into the institution. Possibility to start new programs Web classes 100% pass percentage Assured placements for all eligible students Distance education methodology can be developed especially for continuing education. 15

16 IT tools are becoming available for technology enhanced learning, for widening the reach and improving the effectiveness of engineering education. 2. External Establish relationship with other Universities More networking with industry Could make more use of alumni Research collaboration with Industrial Initiatives Changes in Government policies provides opportunities for structural change, greater autonomy, flexible approaches and increased focus on post-graduate education. More conversations and partnerships with local employers those in the private, nonprofit, and public sectors so that our students are more appealing to them Become a leader in interdisciplinary and integrated learning THREATS These are the conditions external to the college that likely will have a negative effect on achievement of the institutional goals. Internal Lack of investment on new faculty Not prepared to meet new challenges Losing faculty because of the competition, no resources to replace them Diversity of opinions reflected in faculty and industry Outreach: if we don't do it, others will Insufficient resources to focus on quality education Increased enrollment without more funds Erosion of the quality of undergrad programs o Grade inflation o Student expectations-think they are better than they are Current research institute threaten faculty research to department obligations Budget "Gap" New vision of future (downsizing) Inability to recruit diversified faculty Staff Retention issues 16

17 External Too many engineering colleges for one state Present threat: Non reimbursement of tuition fee by the State Government to the respective institutions Lack of overall support for technical education by the government Government regulations and practices in the areas of autonomy, tuition fees, and admission procedures. Poor economy Increased availability of other attractive employment opportunities Competing programs of engineering around state Some students prefer low-cost, low-quality undergraduate/postgraduate programs for quick and easy credentialing which results in degrading of education system. Conflict in the metrics maintained by individual institutions. Outsourcing/off-shoring of engineering positions and engineering education Education has become very political The work of engineers has been marginalized and is being done by "non-engineers" Foreign universities attracting students abroad for postgraduate programs. Because of the high salary packages being served to software professionals, pass out graduates/post graduates are less inclined towards teaching sector. STRATEGIC PLAN DEVELOPED FOR INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT BASED ON SWOT ANALYSIS Strategic planning determines where the institution is going over the next year or more and how it's going to get there. Typically, this is an institutional level process. The process might be implemented in a couple of years to get a sense of how planning is conducted, and then embellished in later years with more planning phases and activities to ensure well-rounded direction. The basic strategic planning process includes: 1. External/internal assessment to identify SWOT 2. Strategic analysis to identify and prioritize major objectives/goals 3. Identify specific approaches or strategies that must be implemented to reach each goal 4. Identify specific action plans to implement each strategy 5. Monitor and update the plan. Based on the above SWOT analysis, the following is the strategic plan generation process developed: 17

18 The strategic plan generation process Strategic analysis is about looking at what is happening outside the institution now and in the future. It asks two questions: How might what's happening affect the institution? What would be the institution s response to likely changes? It's called strategic because it's high level, about the longer term, and about institution. It's called analysis because it's about breaking something that's big and complex down into more manageable chunks. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES IDENTIFIED FOR THE INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL Vision: Aurora envisions to make itself synonymous with learning. We aim to equip our students with a perfect combination of profound knowledge with humane values. 18

19 Mission The academy is devoted to academic distinction, research, scholarship and service. The Academy s hallmark is a cultural engagement that bridges theory with practice, extends the learning process beyond the classroom and promotes students growth and culture. The mission of teaching faculty is dedication to excellence in teaching and the development of a fertile environment exemplified by a free exchange of ideas, high academic expectations and individual responsibility for academics success and achievement. The elaboration of vision and mission statements as well as the above assessments of current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the environment of the institute, lead to the identification of the general objectives. Based on the above SWOT analysis, the followings objectives were set as short term and medium term goals.

74 2.4 f) IMPROVING INTERACTION WITH INDUSTRY Better interaction between Technical institutions and industry is the need of the hour. This will have great bearing on the Engineering Curriculum, exposure of industrial atmosphere to engineering students and subsequent placement of young graduating engineers in industries across the country. With the advent of globalization and the opening up of the Indian economy to the outside world, competition among industries has become stiff. To solve their engineering problems they look up now to Engineering Institutions. Similarly, there is an urgent need to prepare engineering students for jobs in multinational companies, by exposing them to newer technologies and engineering methodologies. These objectives can only be achieved well by bridging the gap between industry and the academic institute. To meet its objectives Industry-Institution-Interaction Cell (I-I-I-C) has been established with the following core staff members: Dr. J.R. Somayazulu, Professor, Civil Department - Coordinator Mr. Kiran Reddy, Associate Professor, CSE Department - Project Assistant Ms. Rekha Kulkarni - Office Assistant The Institute encourages its faculty and students to interact with scientists, technicians and with industry in all possible ways with the spirit of deriving mutual benefit. To meet this goal all the members of I-I-I-C will meet every 2 nd week and 20 th week of the semester. The I-I-I-C is constituted with the following members:, Director - Chairman Mr. Subhash Dasyam, Director, Tech Defence Pvt. Ltd - Member Mr. Ripul Kumar, Executive Manager, KERN Commn. - Member Dr. M. Uma Devi, HoD, Bio-Tech - Member Dr. K.

87 b) Starting of new PG programmes The following committee was form to identify to start the new PG programmes. 1. Dr. M. Uma Devi, Dept. of Biotechnology 2. Dr. Vijaya Sarathi, Dept. of CSE, Convener 3. Dr. T. Srinivasulu, Dept. of ECE, Member 4. Dr. D.S. Prakash Rao, Dept. of Civil Engg., Member 5. Dr. J.R. Somayazulu, Dept. of Civil Engg., Member After thorough industrial survey and discussion and meetings with various acadmicians and alumni the committee proposed the following new PG programmes to be started in two phases. M.Tech - Human Computer Interaction to be offered by Department of CSE from the academic year -12 (syllabus to be approved by BoS JNTUH) M.Tech Structural Engineering to be offered by Department of IT from the academic year -12 (syllabus for which is already approved from JNTUH) M.Tech Environmental Engineering to be offered by Department of Civil Engg. from the academic year (syllabus for which is already approved from JNTUH) M.Tech Nano Technology to be offered by Department of ECE from the academic year (syllabus for which is already approved from JNTUH) Some of the important observations made by the committee are stated below for respective programmes : M.Tech Human Computer Interaction Why this Course in India? This Course is not offered in India as an exclusive P.G Programme where as it is being offered by many Universities in United States and European Countries. If offered this will be the first course of its kind in India. Research in the field of HCI is still in infancy. Objectives The goal of this Course to learn new techniques and tools that will support human use, augment human learning, enhance communication and lead to more acceptable technological developments at the individual and the social levels. The Human- Computer Interaction masters program prepares students to participate in the design and implementation of software systems that can be used easily, effectively and 87

88 enjoyably. With a masters in HCI, students are prepared to contribute to the multidisciplinary teams that typically construct software systems. Students learn techniques for building successful user interfaces, design principles that make user interfaces visually clear and appealing, apply techniques for identifying needs for software and its success, and gain knowledge about the people and organizations that will use their systems. Job Opportunities User Interface Designer, UI Architect, Interface Builder, Visual Design Professional, Design Incubator, Usability Experience Designer, Graphic designers for web, UI/Interaction Designer, Usability Engineer. M.Tech - Structural Engineering Structural Engineering is an innovative program, focused on the combination of recent advances made in the field of structural engineering and computer science. This combination allows structural engineer the flexibility and freedom for a better understanding of structural behavior with material and geometric non-linearity and loading uncertainties. The students can join this program with a background in civil engineering. The course provides an excellent grounding in the fundamentals of structural engineering subjects. It also engages in a comprehensive study of computer science subjects such as programming, databases, graphics, visualization etc. Career Options One can opt for doctorate level study in the field or can find jobs in both government and private sector, for the post of structural engineer. M.Tech - Environmental Engineering Environmental science and engineering is becoming an interesting career option because of the increase in consciousness about the environment. Environmental scientists and engineers are now playing the important role of the guardians of the environment. Coupled with tremendous economic development, India has also witnessed a high degree of environmental pollution. The onus now lies on the environmental engineers and scientists to make India tread the path of sustainable development. Candidates willing to build a career in this field may opt for a formal training program or course. There are quite a number of institutes that offer environmental science & engineering career courses in India. 88

89 Career Options One can opt for doctorate level study in the field or can find jobs in both government and private sector, for the post of environmental engineer. M.Tech Nanotechnology The scope and application of nanotechnology is tremendous and mind-boggling. According to the scientists, 21 st century would be the nanotechnology century. It is estimated that nanotechnology would revolutionize every area, be it medicine, aerospace, engineering, various industrial and technological areas, health or any other field. The technology has the potential to produce garments which can block chemical and biological weapons from touching the skin of a person. Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary subject which essentially combines Physics, Chemistry, Bio-informatics Bio-technology, etc. Though the field is at present in infancy stage (started some 16 years ago in India), the country is making dedicated efforts not to lag behind after starting work in this field. As a result, there is a great demand for students who do their M. Tech in nanotechnology because a large number of industries and laboratories in India and overseas would lab them up. Opportunities There are many exciting new fields which will open up for the nanotechnology experts including: Health Industry research and consulting- pharmaceutical, medical, agriculture, food and beverage, environment industries. Research and development in government, universities and private research institutes Education and academic Entrepreneurial, management and investment advisors in biotechnology and research and development industry. Product development and advising. Communication and media, interfacing of new technologies. Many new industries emerging as a result of advances in nanotechnology Hence based on the above studies the committee on PG courses advised to run the above four programmes. 89

90 The academy plans to introduce the following PG courses in phased manner. M.Tech - Human Computer Interaction to be offered by Department of CSE from the academic year -12 M.Tech Structural Engineering to be offered by Department of IT from the academic year -12 M.Tech Environmental Engineering to be offered by Department of Civil Engg. from the academic year M.Tech Nano Technology to be offered by Department of ECE from the academic year The recommendations will be thoroughly discussed in the academic council and put for BOG approval.

98 Following were the areas which are given importance while formulating the Action Plan for faculty development: Upgradation of qualifications Improving competence in teaching-training Development of modern learning resources and teaching aids New techniques in research Improving competence in research and consultancy Deputation to seminars, conferences and presentation of research papers Interaction with peer groups within India and abroad Establishing linkages with academic and research institutions and industry. Management of industry interactions Student counseling Student performance evaluation Each faculty and staff will be visualizing their own training needs. The HOD will then analyze his departmental need and try to match it with the faculty and staff needs and prepare a plan for his department which he / she will then present to the head of the institution and the Director will then hold extensive discussion and decide priorities and prepare a faculty and staff development plan for the forthcoming year along with specific names of persons to be trained, agency, duration, and estimated fee and seek approval of the BOG in advance and depute faculty and staff for training as per plan. The rationale for selecting areas and persons for training is explained below: The reasons are one or more of the following. The institution is going to offer an additional elective and a specific faculty has prior experience or knowledge or interest or papers published and therefore, has the interest in getting training so both the need of the faculty and the institution are matching. The institution is going to offer revised curriculum in and needs to train faculty and has selected a particular person based on his / her interest as well as the institutional need. The institution is planning to start a new PG course and feels that some of the existing faculty could be utilized for teaching the course and some new will also be recruited. So based on the suitability of their prior qualifications the institution has decided to send the faculty for training to prepare for new PG course. The need for training in particular areas arose because of student feedback. Faculty members feeling they are not well informed on certain course material which they teach and feel the need to upgrade their qualifications. 98

121 The following table shows the coherence of the State Objectives and Institutional objectives: State Objectives Institutional objectives SO 1 IO 1, IO2, IO4, IO5, IO8 SO 2 IO 1, IO2, IO4, IO5, IO8 SO 3 IO 6 SO 4 IO5, IO8 SO 5 IO 8 SO 6 IO 5, IO 6 Linking of Institutional, state and the TEQIP objectives: TEQIP Goal: To scale-up and support ongoing efforts of the Government of India to improve quality of Technical Education and enhance existing capacities of the institutions to become dynamic, demand-driven, quality conscious, efficient and forward looking, responsive to rapid economic and technological developments occurring at the local, State, National and International levels. National Economic plan: Realizing the potential of socio-political and economic benefits from Higher Education in transforming India into a knowledge society, the Government of India has placed a much higher priority on Higher Education in the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007 to 2012). This change in priority is supported by a proposed Rs.2,70,000 crore allocation to the Education Sector, which represents a four-fold increase over the Tenth Five Year Plan allocations. Government of India in its Union budget for has allotted the following amount against higher education comprising of Rs Crores for University Grants Commission, Rs Crores for Technical Education and Rs. 900 for national mission in education through information and communication technology. State Economic plan: In the Budget speech of Andhra Pradesh, the then Chief Minister Shri. K Roshaiah presented the plan for the post-matric scholarship program on a saturation mode to provide scholarships and tution fees to all eligible students of SC, ST, OBC, EBC, Minorities and Disabled whose parental income is below Rs.1 lakh per annum. Allocation for scholarships and tuition fee for SCs is Rs.536 crores, for STs is Rs.193 crores, for BCs is Rs.1032 crores, for EBCs is Rs.300 crores, for Minorities is Rs.210 crores and for disabled is Rs.7 crores in budget. For providing coaching to the minority students for entrance to professional colleges, the Centre for Educational Development of Minorities is functioning under the aegis of Osmania University. A provision of Rs.237 crores has been made in Budget Estimates for Minorities Welfare Department. The State Government is planning several steps in the direction of improving access to higher education while promoting equity and inclusiveness and placing utmost emphasis on the quality and relevance of subjects taught in the institutions of higher education. In the last five years, 18 new Universities have been set-up in the State. Government has also sanctioned 65 new degree colleges, 49 new polytechnics and 104 new Junior colleges during the last three years. These measures 121

122 represent an unprecedented growth in the State in the field of higher education. Academic programmes and faculty development programmes have been started in association with Industries i.e., Osmania University with GENPACT, Andhra University with HSBC Bank and Government Degree Colleges with Infosys. The Andhra Pradesh State Council for Higher Education has been conducting Career Awareness and Recruitment Drive (CARD) in association with NASSCOM and recruiting industries in the sectors of IT and IT enabled Services, insurance, banking, hospitality, tourism, retail sector, etc., with a view to create awareness about job opportunities available in various sectors, skills required to capture these opportunities and also to provide a common platform for recruitment. Government has decided to implement UGC scales to the teaching staff of Universities and Degree Colleges. An amount of Rs.2830 crores has been allocated for Higher Education Department in the Budget. Efforts for employability in Government of India (industrial development) The union budget for presented in February 2010 granted the funds as follows: S.No Amount Activity (in Rs. Crores) 1 Rs223 for credit support program to provide guarantee cover to banks for extending loans to small/tiny units without collateral. 2 Rs. 906 for Prime minister s Employment Generation Program 3 Rs. 336 for quality of technology support institution and programs 4 Rs. 180 for Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) for undertaking R&D 5 Rs. 570 for multidisciplinary research 6 Rs, 100 for national mission for Nano science and Nano technology 7 Rs. 467 for Research and Development in biotechnology 8 Rs. 343 for Autonomous R&D institutions in BioTechnology 9 Rs. 232 for setting up state of the art automotive testing, validation and R&D infrastructure facilities Efforts for employability in the State by the Government (industrial development) Our Government is committed to provide world class infrastructural facilities to make Andhra Pradesh a manufacturing hub for national and international companies. Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are being promoted in different regions to generate employment in export oriented manufacturing sector. Government of India has given approvals to 103 SEZs in Andhra Pradesh. Out of these, 73 SEZs are notified, 40 SEZs have already become operational and 54,776 jobs are already created. As a part of Government s initiative of developing IT in tier-2 cities, APIIC is 122

123 developing IT / ITES SEZs at Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Kakinada, Tirupati, Kadapa, Warangal and also Ranga Reddy districts. During , 48 large Industries with an investment of Rs.8,399 crores have been set up in the State, creating employment for 8,116 persons. In addition to this, proposals for 353 new large Industries have been received with an investment of Rs.81,092 crores which are expected to give employment for 1,11,328 persons. Presently, our State accounts for 15% of national IT exports. As of 2009, total employment in IT Sector was 2,51,786 in the State. IT sector contributes about 52.09% of total exports from all sectors in the State. Coherence of Institutional Development Proposal with State s/ National Industrial/Economic Development Plan. Nurturing the skills of our students and effectively training them proportional to their weaknesses and strengths would lead to the all round development and formation of a professional from a student. The parent institute plays a major role in this transformation. Because of the competition and the low supply of quality professionals, other than the prescribed syllabus teaching and laboratory work, today s students require additional training and support in their personality development, confidence building, extra curricular activities, Research, publications, placements, etc. during the four year stay, a students enhances his learning skills and these learning outcomes would be proportional to his employability. Hence, the institution, keeping in view of the scope for the employability has prepared this institutional developmental proposal which majorly aims at the increasing learning outcomes and the employability of the produced graduates. Both the National and the State Governments are striving for the economic development and in turn enhancing the employability for the graduates into various sectors. With the entrepreneurship policies of the Central Government and the Prime minister s Employment Generation Program today s MBA graduates can set up their small units of business (for a max. of 25 lakhs) thereby gaining self employability. Wherein they can avail 90% sanction of loan and the bank disburses the full amount suitably for setting up of the unit. With the C-DAC funded programs, the learning skills as well as the training skills of both faculty as well as students can be multiplied by ten folds. This not only results in the learning outcomes but also aids in the cultural development of research. The primary areas of research here include information and communication technology and electronics. These research activities are driven by specific application areas and hence mostly applied in nature. Our electronics, computer science and Information technology graduates can make up their prospective career under the training, education and R&D support of C-DAC. 123

124 Technological Development in the area of multidisciplinary research provides scope for the engineers for employability as it clusters research based activates in combination of different areas. Rising boom of NanoScience and Nanotechnology would attract our graduates as it thrives tightly on the integration of material science, process technology, nanoelectronics, chemistry, biology and mechanical engineering. All the quality graduates of these different branches of study can make their career in the field of NanoScience and Nanotechnology which is being exclusively funded for specific mission by the Government of India. Hence, the institution has proposed for the M.Tech Nanotechnology course for the year Today the essence of biotechnology is most prominent in the fields of genetic research and drug designing. The Government of India has laid up enough funds on the Research and Development as well as the Autonomous R&D institutions in biotechnology. Our Biotechnology graduates can make use of this prompt area of development. Mechanical engineering graduates can make up their prospective career in the field of automotive industry as the Government of India is funding extensively for the testing, validation and R&D infrastructure facilities. Our Civil and Mechanical engineering graduates who would be ready for industry, who can be absorbed. As Hyderabad has grown as IT hub, the prospective graduates of our institution from computer science and information technology branches can settle down in the IT sector. Thus, keeping in view of the sources of employability and wide areas of growth, the institution has thus come up with this institutional development proposal in terms of Strengthening Institution to improve Learning Outcomes and employability of Graduates as the learning outcomes are directly proportional to the graduate employability. 124
