H Interaction with Principal and Project Coordinator

UVCE is a constituent College of Bangalore University, which is considered to be an autonomous Institution. However, there are serious issues of lack of academic, administrative and financial autonomy, in as much as all approvals are to be received from the University. There is no decentralization of powers, especially to the Principal by the University. The Board of Governors, which is the authority for according approvals to TEQIP-related activities, has not been re-constituted after the expiry of the term of the earlier Board. The Board meets very infrequently. I have asked the Principal to address a Letter to the (Acting ) VC , requesting him to take steps for the reconstitution of the Board.

Since the project took some time for getting approved, in the Revised IDP, the timelines have been moved forward.

The IDP needs to have a revision in terms of the data presented about the Institutional Basic Information. I have made specific suggestions to the Principal.

Creation of facilities for QEEE (Quality Enhancement in

Engineering Education) programme recommended by SPFU and

conducted by IIT Madras, Chennai.

NPIU in its letter dated 13th

Dec 2014 has directed the TEQIP colleges to

purchase equipments to start the Virtual Classes under QEEE programme.

The matter is placed before BOG for approval.

Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education (QEEE) Report

For improvement in the academic quality of Technical Education in the country, the Ministry of

Human Resource Development is implementing Technical Education Quality Improvement

Programme-II (TEQIP-II), a World Bank assisted project. In this regard, MHRD has collaborated

with IITs and a program called „Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education‟ with a view to

bridge existing gaps in engineering education and bringing technical education has been

envisaged.

With the aim at making a concerted effort at all levels to enhance the quality of Indian engineering

education by making available top quality content and pedagogical resources to the students

through technology and by training teachers/educators to empower them with the skills/expertise

they need to have a deeper impact on the way education is imparted to students all over India.

As a first step towards QEEE, 100 TEQIP institutions are selected. Under that University

Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) is selected for a Direct- to-Student program

coordinated by IITM, Chennai through MHRD.

National Knowledge Commission (NKN) through National Informatics Centre (NIC) has provided

100 Mbps internet connection extendable upto 1 Gbps. WiFi accessibility is available at Library

and Minchu.

The following three members committee has been formed as Faculty Coordinators:

1. Dr. S H Manjula, Associate Professor, Department of CSE, UVCE.

2. Prof. Arunalatha J S, Associate Professor, Department of CSE, UVCE.

3. Prof. Kiran K, Assistant Professor, Department of CSE, UVCE.

Item 17

NBA Accreditation as per Washington accord(TIER-1)/ Autonomous status by

UGC and Introduction of CGPA method of evaluation for UG/PG courses of

UVCE

UVCE had applied for NBA in the year 2007, for 23 courses, 6 UG courses

and 17 PG courses by paying Rs. 11.5 Lakhs (F.No.NBA/ACR/979/2007) under

TEQIP-I. The college could not go for NBA due to various reasons like shortage of

faculty members, supporting staff, technical staff and also severe crunch of

infrastructure. Further, NBA in its letter dated 23.08.2011 requested the college to

provide NBA status within 15 days. The college provided the details vide letter

dated 06.09.2011. However, the NBA consultant expressed his inability to proceed

with the NBA Accreditation process.

Under TEQIP-II, UVCE has to obtain NBA Accreditation as per Washington

accord under TIER-I colleges. The main constraint to obtain the accreditation is to

have autonomous status for the college for which CGPA method of evaluation has

to be introduced. The College has applied for grants under RUSA to fill up existing

teaching and technical staff vacancies immediately to become autonomous.

The CGPA evaluation document is under progress. Further grants under

TEQIP-II and TEQIP-III will be considered only if the college is autonomous.
