41. Was any need assessment exercise undertaken before the development of new programme(s)? If so, highlight the methodology. Yes, The department has designed the syllabus for B,Tech and M.Tech in 2007 after carefully selecting the topics relevant to the discipline of Electrical Engineering. The benchmarks for the syllabus are: model curriculum as designed by AICTE, relevance of subjects as per GATE and Indian Engineering Services Examination and syllabus adopted by other institutions of higher learning such as NITs and IITs. It was discussed among the faculty members and subject experts from outside the university as well as experts from industry. The recommended curriculum was finally approved by Board of Studies, Faculty of Engineering and Academic Council. During 2010, a need was felt to introduce personality development programmes in the scheme and accordingly the scheme was modified. During a last few it was observed that new developments have occurred in the field of Information Technology and Renewable energy, which are impacting electrical engineering like cloud computing, big data analytics, and smart grid. Considering these issues, the entire scheme and syllabus has been revised in 2015.

42. Does the department obtain feedback from

a. Faculty on curriculum as well as teaching-learning-evaluation? If yes, how does the department utilize the feedback? Yes, the feedback is obtained from the faculty on curriculum during Board of Studies meetings, this helps in improving the teaching learning process in the following ways: • In improving the method of delivering the lecture • For further enhancement of lab facilities • For updating the curriculum time to time • In organising students oriented subject enriched programmes

b. Students on staff, curriculum and teaching-learning-evaluation and how does the

department utilize the feedback? At the end of every semester, the student feedback is taken on staff and teaching-learning evaluation. Based on which faculty members are advised to improve teaching skills and to incorporate new contents in their subjects in the form of simulation studies and case studies.

c. Alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department

utilize the feedback? Yes. Alumni’s and employers generally helps in evaluating the market value of the curriculum. On the basis of their feedback and job requirement, curriculum is updated time to time and accordingly teaching methodology is adopted for better delivery of the matter.
