7.3. Best Practices 7.3.1. Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college. TWO BEST PRACTICES
I. Practice-I Title of the Practice To enhance research potential in students and faculty members. Goal: The aim of this particular practice is to provide necessary infrastructure, human resources and motivation to nurture the research competencies among the students and faculty members.
The Context The college offers UG degree programme in various engineering departments. It is the responsibility of faculty members to inculcate effective learning methodology in their students to LAXMI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SARIGAM
128
NAAC SSR understand various engineering concepts. To accomplish this, they need to be creative and innovative in their approach to teaching / learning activities and should possess holistic idea about the subjects what they taught, which requires some level of research competencies in the teaching faculty members.
The Practice The College level Innovation and Training & Placement Cell has been established. The college encourages the faculty members to visit the industry/ academia during vacation to learn the latest technology available which can be used to improve the research skill of faculty members. The college also encourages the faculty members to publish the research papers, attending national/ International conferences and to carry out consultancy work. The faculty members are encouraged by providing the financial support to those who publish and present the research articles in national/ International journals and conferences. They were also sponsored to attend the national/ International conferences in India/Abroad. MoUs have been signed between the College and various industries/academia to carry out the research and consultancy activities.
Evidence of Success The number of scholars registered for Ph.D./ degree holders in the institution has increased considerably. The results of above said practice also increases the number of papers published by the faculty members.
Problems Encountered and Resources Required The faculty members are finding it difficult to find the time to carry out independent research due to their academic commitment. Financial support from external funding agency is required; we are continuously trying to get financial assistance.
II. Practice-II Title of the Practice Skill enhancement for improving student employability / for higher education
Goal LAXMI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SARIGAM
129
NAAC SSR To provide industry and R&D oriented training, and other skill sets to students to make them globally competitive and employable in multinational industries or to pursue the higher studies in engineering.
Context The employability is one of the biggest challenges for engineering education and institutions for graduating students. The primary reason for this is the lack of skill sets as per the need of industry; it may be due to complete disconnecting between industry and academic institutions. The curriculum was also not designed as per the need of industry. So there is an eminent need to provide the skill sets (both technical as well as non technical skills) so that the students can meet the challenge.
Practice The college has taken corrective measure to meet the need for improving employability of students through setting up a separate Career Development Cell as well initiated various skill oriented programs in the campus so that students can easily be placed or can opt for higher studies. Some of the efforts made in this direction are briefly described here.
Industry Oriented Training Programs The college has started many industry oriented training programs conducted by competent authorized organizations. These programs are conducted after working hours, weekends or in vacations and train the students to be suitable for industry requirement. The college has organized to enhance the technical skill sets by departments.
Personality Development Program Communication and other soft skills are required for all round development of students. They play major role in improving the employability of students. College started the classes for the students with regular course by trained PDP trainers for 3rd and 4th year students.
Aptitude & Soft Skills Classes College is also planning to start aptitude and soft skill classes in all the departments LAXMI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SARIGAM
130
NAAC SSR which help students to get placed in PSUs and other industries easily and also go for higher studies.
Evidence of Success The initiatives and measures taken by the college help students to upgrade their technical and non-technical skills improving the employability of students/ promote to pursue the higher studies.
Problem Encountered & Resources Required The university curriculum is fixed for four years by the university and need to update regularly as per industry needs. Definite eligibility criteria of industry are required to develop the skill, so that the students can overcome the deficiency and can get placed in other industries. Some of the students who are from Hindi medium require rigorous PDP training to improve the soft skill.

33. Teaching method adopted to improve students‘ learning: The faculty in-charge for the course begins the semester by preparing a teaching plan for the entire course. The faculty has to plan the delivery of the content depending on the number of teaching hours allotted per week. All the topics covered in the five units are separated into lecture hours. The books and other materials that are to be referred for LAXMI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SARIGAM
146
NAAC SSR every topic are identified. The teaching plan is distributed to the students in the beginning of a semester to enable them to have a full overview of the syllabus and to facilitate them to collect appropriate materials for the entire syllabus. The teacher keeps a record of the date in which the corresponding topic is taught. This ensures that the teacher covers the entire syllabus within the stipulated time period in a coherent manner. The delivery of the course content may be in any of the following manners: Lecture The primary mode of content delivery in the classes is by the lecturing hours. The teacher prepares and delivers her/his lecture according to the teaching plan. The teacher delivers the lecture either using power point presentation / board and chalk method. Tutorial hours Tutorial hours are planned for analytical subjects. The students are encouraged to have a separate note book for tutorial classes. The teacher makes it a point to work out more problems on the topics taught to enhance the understanding of the students. Quality Assessment The students are also motivated to understand more about the subject by doing assignments, literature survey on recent research topics pertaining to the subject, analysis of case studies relevant to the subject as Quality Assessment Component. Poster Presentation In order to increase the involvement of the students, they are grouped in two or three and are encouraged to involve in activities like Poster Presentation on titles relevant to the subject taught. Learning Management System (LMS) The LMS gives an opportunity for students to be more actively involved in the teaching-learning process inside and outside the classrooms. The interaction between teacher and student is not restricted to the classroom. Teachers can schedule online tests even after study hours. Open Source online course materials (NPTEL, etc.) The e-learning video, lectures, learning material of various universities like MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc are used for Centralized lectures to update the students with the emerging trends.

33. Teaching method adopted to improve students‘ learning: The faculty in-charge for the course begins the semester by preparing a teaching plan for the entire course. The faculty has to plan the delivery of the content depending on the number of teaching hours allotted per week. All the topics covered in the five units are separated into lecture hours. The books and other materials that are to be referred for every topic are identified. The teaching plan is distributed to the students in the beginning of a semester to enable them to have a full overview of the syllabus and to facilitate them to collect appropriate materials for the entire syllabus. The teacher keeps a record of the date in which the corresponding topic is taught. This ensures that the teacher covers the entire syllabus within the stipulated time period in a coherent manner. The delivery of the course content may be in any of the following manners: Lecture The primary mode of content delivery in the classes is by the lecturing hours. The teacher prepares and delivers her/his lecture according to the teaching plan. The teacher delivers the lecture either using power point presentation / board and chalk method. Tutorial hours Tutorial hours are planned for analytical subjects. The students are encouraged to have a separate note book for tutorial classes. The teacher makes it a point to work out more problems on the topics taught to enhance the understanding of the students.
LAXMI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SARIGAM

NAAC SSR Quality Assessment The students are also motivated to understand more about the subject by doing assignments, literature survey on recent research topics pertaining to the subject, analysis of case studies relevant to the subject as Quality Assessment Component. Poster Presentation In order to increase the involvement of the students, they are grouped in two or three and are encouraged to involve in activities like Poster Presentation on titles relevant to the subject taught. Learning Management System (LMS) The LMS gives an opportunity for students to be more actively involved in the teaching-learning process inside and outside the classrooms. The interaction between teacher and student is not restricted to the classroom. Teachers can schedule online tests even after study hours. Open Source online course materials (NPTEL, etc.) The e-learning site which contains video lectures, learning materials that has been collected from various universities like MIT, Stanford, Harvard etc. The students can use these to understand their subjects from different perspectives and get a feel of the educational standard in international, well reputed institutions.
