Chancellors Message
It gives me great pleasure to note that the University has entered its
third academic year after successfully completing the first two years.
The University was launched with the intention of embracing global
educational practices into our existing higher education system to
bring it on par with the higher education system that is in vogue in
developed countries. Initially, I was rather skeptical about the
acceptance of the system of education that had been designed by our
faculty members who had gained several years of experience in
imparting education using the practices adopted in developed
countries particularly in Europe.
I would like to convey my thanks to our students and their parents for
wholeheartedly embracing the new system. At the end of the each
academic year I have witnessed the positive energy amongst the students, parents and staff and, on enquiry,
students have expressed their opinion that although the system demands enormous efforts the learning experience
made it worthwhile.
In India, IITs are known for engineering and technology education, IIMs are known for management education,
NIPER is known for pharmacy education, AIIMS is known for medical education and NID is known for design
education. It is my dream that we at Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences should replicate the combined
characteristics of all these institutes and achieve this status of excellence in due course. I am confident that this
challenge will be accepted and fulfilled by the members of faculty at the University and its administrators.
Collectively, we are aiming to develop a great institution that our nation can feel proud of while serving the
generations of the future and focusing on developing global citizens.
I wish great success to all the members of the University in their endeavor to achieve excellence in higher education.

Welcome from the
Vice Chancellor
th
On 30 August 2016, we completed the first two academic years. It was
indeed a challenging task to familiarize the members of faculty, staff and
students and to gain acceptance for Student Centric Outcome Based
Education - a revolutionary, teaching & learning system that we decided to
implement at the University. Initially, it was a daunting task to make faculty
members unlearn older concepts and learn new concepts of teaching and
assessing. Students, for a long time, kept comparing their efforts with their
counterparts in other universities and often expressed difficulty in coping
with the new system.
However, without getting disheartened, we at the University persuaded the faculty members and students on the
benefits of the new system often inspiring them with many motivational talks and helping them through training.
All these efforts seem to have paid off when we saw a large number of blogs appearing in the digital media,
written by our own students, analyzing the visible benefits they were deriving from this new method of teaching
and learning with frequent comparisons to the learning experience of their peers studying in the best universities
abroad.
With a sense of great satisfaction I am pleased to report that the University has obtained 2(f) status from UGC and
has been ranked, by NIRF-MHRD, as the 90th best University in the Country. In addition, leading educational and
news magazines have ranked the University as the best emerging Research and Innovation University. There are
more than 350 faculty members of which more than 100 members are Ph.D. degree holders. We have a further
300 Technical and Administrative staff supporting the University's operations.
University Faculty members have, during the last academic year, published more than 325 research articles in
Scopus indexed journals; organized more than 12 seminars and workshops; and filed for more than 25 patents.
The Techno Centre has completed more than 35 consultancy projects for industry and businesses while the
Research division has attracted reasonable amount of research funds. Our Directorate of Training and Lifelong
Learning has trained more than 500 delegates in various technology areas and in higher education practices.
Faculty members and students have provided various community services like patient care and participated in our
Service to Society programme completing a number of activities for the benefit of the communities spread
across the state. Our Technology Incubation and Entrepreneurship Cell is incubating more than 15 start-ups with
fund support from MSME.
The University has entered into collaborative relationships with a number of universities from USA, UK, Russia and
other European countries and a number of students and staff exchange programmes have been completed with
at least 25 students and staff members visiting an overseas University. More than 15 student Dream Teams have
been promoted by the University for students to take part in international competitions. One team is working on
a Micro Satellite with Mr. Rajangam, formerly Project Director at ISRO satellite Centre as the mentor while
another team is working on Small Rockets being mentored by Mr. Sivathanu Pillai. Our students have won many
national level competitions and hackathons.
This year more than 350 students have completed M. Tech., M. Des., MBA, MHA, M. Com., M.Sc., M. Pharm.,
Degrees. At least 5 M.Tech. Projects have achieved the potential for being commercialized having worked in
collaboration with industry and funds from TIFAC. A considerable number of these graduates have been placed in
reputed organizations. The University has created 21 specialist Research Centre to emphasize on Research in
contemporary areas of knowledge. More than 125 scholars are pursuing for their PhD. The first convocation for

1.1 Undergraduate Programmes
1.1.1 Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is primarily infrastructure development involving planning, design, construction, and
operation of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to space
satellites. Major disciplines within civil engineering that are closely interrelated are structural,
environmental, geotechnical, water resources, transportation, construction and urban planning.
Till recently Civil Engineering teaching was limited to planning, analysis, design and execution of different
types of infrastructure like buildings, roads, bridges, dams and power plants. However, increasing
technological sophistication and demand for higher living standards fuelled by economic growth and
concerns about environmental impact have changed the scope of civil engineering curriculum. The
challenges of today's Civil Engineering infrastructure are much more complex including reducing carbon
emission and interdependencies between resources.
Though there are a large number of institutions world over which are producing civil engineers still there is a
shortage of quality Civil Engineering graduates. The FET at RUAS would like to offer Civil Engineering
programme to produce imaginative, creative and innovative civil engineers who are effective and efficient
problem solvers providing economical and sustainable infrastructure solutions.

1.1.2 Computer Science and Engineering
Computing and information technologies have not only touched all aspects of human existence but are also
helping drive all modern human endeavours, most notably science and engineering practice. Advances in
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) field are enabling several disciplines such as bioinformatics,
nanotechnology, interactive virtual worlds and intelligent systems. It is also contributing to methodological
advances in most fields of study: from computational proofs of mathematical theorems through simulation
based studies of physical, biological and engineering systems to virtual reality based psychology
experiments. Algorithms and computing systems are responsible for processing voluminous data from
space and atomic physics, simulation of earth climatic models and social networking sites. As a
consequence, the field of CSE is dynamic and constantly evolving.
These diverse and demanding applications generate a constant demand for CSE professionals able to
analyse and develop appropriate abstractions of the problems to be addressed, design appropriate
architectures and components, implement as well as deploy solutions. While it has commonalities with
other Engineering disciplines, CSE is unique due to the fact that every final product (software) is almost
completely hand crafted. Thus, an undergraduate course in CSE should lay a strong and balanced foundation
as well as the ability to synthesise working systems. Students have to be thorough in the underlying
principles as well as the practical aspects of modern computing systems and information infrastructure
preparing them for a career in the challenging and dynamic field.
The Computer Science and Engineering course at Faculty of Engineering and Technology at RUAS has been
developed by the members of the faculty based on their teaching experience and long standing interactions
with various universities and industries in India and abroad.
The curriculum is outcome based and helps students to develop critical thinking abilities and imbibe
relevant practical skills for a smooth transition from academics to real-life work environment. Opportunities
are provided for the students to do their internship in India or abroad depending on their preferences.
While most engineering colleges and universities across the world offer a CSE degree (or its equivalent),
there is a shortage in quality graduates. The CSE course is designed to produce creative and knowledgeable
engineers with capabilities to innovate, design and develop computing and information technology
solutions for diverse requirements of society, environment and human endeavours.

The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that
human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with
traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that
an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.

1.1.4 Electronic and Communication Engineering
The theoretical developments, occurred in previous centuries, in understanding electromagnetic fields

and material properties had ushered the growth in the domain of Electronics and Communication during
the first half of twentieth century. The second half had seen innovation and novelty in chip technology
and telecommunication.
The impact of communication technology, on developing countries such as India, has caused a major
societal revolution. There is a need to have highly trained manpower in the domain of Electronics and
Communication Engineering. Good outcome based undergraduate engineering education is critical in
developing human resources.
The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) study, conducted in 2010 and
titled Global Engineering Research and Development: Accelerating Innovation with Indian
Engineering, underlined the significance for India as the country had posted a revenue growth of about
40% during 2007-2010 and is expected to grow in coming years.
The Electronic and Communication Engineering course at Faculty of Engineering and Technology at RUAS
has been developed by the members of the faculty based on their teaching experience and long standing
interactions with various universities and industries in India and abroad.
relevant practical skills for a smooth transition from academics to real-life work environment.
Opportunities are provided for the students to do their internship in India or abroad depending on their
preference.
The Global Innovation 1000, reported in 2012, by management consulting firm Booz & Company has
indicated that R & D investment in Computing, Electronics, Tele-communication is about 30% by top
innovative companies making this sector a leader.
The importance of technological advancements in electronics could also be seen in other categories such
as Automobile, Process industries, etc. Expertise needs to be built for the design, analysis, simulation,
testing and evaluation of analog, digital, control, instrumentation, and communication systems. In the
light of above, knowledge of computer architectures and communication protocols is required. Outcome
based undergraduate programme along with modern pedagogy is the need of the hour.
The course provides strong foundation in basic concepts, followed by comprehensive understanding of
electrical, electronics, and communication subjects. Stress is laid on simulation, and larger perspective of
systems and sub-systems of electronics product. Students are trained to develop life-long skills to
understand, analyse, and develop solutions for challenging technological problems.
There is a shortage of quality electronics and communication graduates in spite of many institutions
offering undergraduate course. The FET at RUAS would like to offer Electronic and Communication
Engineering course to produce imaginative, creative and innovative engineers to solve the problems of
society.
Engineering problems are under-defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is
to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity, involving imagination, intuition and deliberate
choice.

1.2.1 Automotive Engineering
Mobility plays an important role in the development of economy of the world. Particularly, the road
transport is very important for day to day movement of people and goods. It is estimated that there will
be 1.4 billion vehicles on road by 2020 and around a 50% of them in non OECD countries including India
and China. Though the road vehicles have a history of more than a century, the development of newer
vehicles, creating new designs, improving the existing designs, adoption of new materials and
manufacturing methods and introduction of new technologies to improve their performance is a
continuing process.
The road transport vehicles are automobiles and commercial vehicles. Normally, we refer the personal
transport vehicles as automobiles and the bigger vehicles used for transportation of goods and public as
commercial vehicles. The developed countries like the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden,
Japan, Korea and India have made mark in design and production of road vehicles. The automotive
companies like GM, Ford, Chrysler, Jaguar, Daimler -Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Renault,Volvo, Toyota,
Honda, Suzuki, Nissan, Hyundai, Kea Motors, Tata Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra are well known

automobile sector. An automobile may broadly be subdivided into running system, powertrain and body
system. A powertrain system consists of a power source, clutch, transmission, differential, axles and the
wheels. The power flows from power source to wheels through power train subsystems. The power
source can be a conventional IC engine, battery powered motor or a hybrid source.
The vehicle performance depends on powertrain design and it is the source for emissions and emission
of greenhouse gases. The successes of a vehicle model depends on intelligent design and development of
powertrain. Hence, Faculty of Engineering and Technology at RUAS found it necessary to develop and
introduce a course in powertrain design at postgraduate level.
The course focuses on design, development, testing and management of powertrain system. Graduates
will have opportunities in the well known automotive companies mentioned earlier; a few of them may
take up entrepreneurship and some of them may pursue research.
The faculty has created facilities to effectively teach, train and pursue research in automotive powertrain
area.

1.2.4 Turbomachinery Design
Turbomachines find application in aeroengines; land based marine and micro gas turbines; steam
turbines; wind turbines; turbochargers; hydraulic power plants; liquid pumping systems etc. Among
these, there is a relatively larger world market for power gas turbines, aeroengines and wind turbines.
Demand for power gas turbines is expected to accelerate to 7.3% annual growth rate and the world
market is expected to rise 6.4% annually to US $162 billion by 2016. The aeroengine market was US $21.2
billion in 2011 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5% during 2012-2017. The commercial aeroengine
maintenance market is also expected to reach US $ 32.1 billion by 2020 at CAGR of 4.2%. Similarly, the
global wind turbine market has expanded sevenfold during 2001-11 and will continue to be the fastest
growing turbine product type through 2016 and beyond. These trends have generated an
unprecedented worldwide demand for engineers with in-depth knowledge of turbomachinery systems.
In India too, there are manufacturing as well as R&D activities related to power gas turbines, aeroengines,
wind turbines and other turbomachinery systems. The public sector industries, viz. HAL and BHEL, are
engaged in both manufacturing as well as R&D activities, and the government organisations, viz. NAL,
DRDO, VSSC etc. are mainly engaged in R&D activities. Further, there are private players like GE,
Infotech, Safron, QuEST etc. that are engaged in design and analysis of power gas turbine and aeroengine
systems for various off-shore clients and parent industries. Similarly, in wind turbine sector, the players
like GE, Suzlon etc. are engaged in design and manufacturing activities. The Indian power generation
market is the fourth largest in Asia and sixth largest in the world. The Indian market for steam and hydro
turbines has been growing at 7 % per annum. Currently, India is the 5th largest generator of wind energy
in the world with an installed capacity of ~18 GW. According to Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the
wind energy in India would meet over 24 % of the energy needs by 2030. Hence, there is a growing
demand for well-trained manpower in India in the area of turbomachinery systems to cater to the
requirements of these establishments. A rough estimate suggests an annual local requirement of at least
200 core turbomachinery engineers with PG qualification.
It is a fact that most of the above-mentioned research organisations, industries and MNCs, engaged in
turbomachinery related activities, are located in the southern part of India. Over the years, Bangalore has
become the national hub of aerospace and turbomachinery related activities. There is always a need for
engineers at Masters degree level with knowledge, understanding and skill in design and analysis of
various turbomachinery systems. The employers constantly look for industry-ready personnel who can
be assigned specific tasks immediately on recruitment.
The growing concern for higher fuel efficiency, wider operating range, lower operating costs, cleaner
environment and higher reliability is posing challenging problems to the designers and the
manufacturers of turbomachinery systems worldwide. The quest for design innovations, together with
an aggressive and competitive market, has given tremendous boost to applied research in the relevant
areas. A competent engineer should not only be good in theory but should also have an aptitude for
research that helps in achieving successful, efficient and reliable designs.
The sustained growth rate of power turbines, aircraft engines, and hydraulic pumping systems has
generated demand for post graduate engineers with good knowledge and understanding of various
turbomachinery systems. The continued advancement in technology also requires that the fresh
engineers should have good exposure to state of art and future trends in turbomachinery design and
development.
It is recognised that turbomachinery design is a highly interdisciplinary subject requiring knowledge of

almost all disciplines of engineering. A successful design is achieved only through constant interaction
between aerodynamic and structural designers, material specialists, manufacturing and assembly
personnel, and reliability experts. In this scenario, a university provides the students ideal opportunities
as they are exposed to the required disciplines through various departments and faculty. The university
also provides research environment and helps in career development.

found in here. India is home to government organisations like Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO), Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), Council for Scientific and Industrial
Research (CSIR), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and private enterprises like Boeing, Airbus,
General Electric, Pratt and Whitney, SNECMA, Honeywell, Goodrich Aerospace.
Some are involved in Aerospace research and development, while others provide engineering services.
Their already high annual average growth rate is likely to be boosted by the 'off-set' clause included by
Government of India in all major aerospace transactions.
High competitiveness in the airline sector has forced the manufacturers to not only continuously improve
their product but also introduce cutting edge technology in their products. Aerospace industry
traditionally has pushed technological boundaries in a bid to meet the ever increasing demand for faster,
safer and cheaper travel. With the available experienced person power and infrastructure in the areas of
fluid mechanics, structural engineering and propulsion, the University will be able to support their
requirement for advanced products.
To sustain the growth rate the organisations are in need of designers, analysts, developers, innovators,
manufacturing, testing and marketing engineers as well as managers with a postgraduate degree in
Aircraft Design. It is estimated that these organisations will require annually 500-600 such postgraduates
for the next 5-6 years.
Aeronautics is a highly interdisciplinary subject where there is interaction between aerodynamicists,

structural engineers, manufacturers and electronic engineers. In this situation, University gives an ideal
platform for the students as they are exposed to different disciplines and thereby increase their breadth
of knowledge in aeronautics. The department is staffed with professors with extensive experience in
national aerospace projects, excellent infrastructure and has developed a reputation amongst students,
parents, industry and research sponsors. The Faculty of Engineering and Technology plans for further
development of Aircraft Design course and compete with the best universities in the world and attract
high quality graduates as well as teaching talent from all over the country and abroad.

Manufacturing like agriculture is the backbone of any economy. Manufacturing is a wealth-producing

sector of an economy, whereas a service sector tends to be wealth-consuming. Manufacturing provides
important material support for national infrastructure and for national defense. The manufacturing can
be sectorised as Aerospace and Defence, Automotive, Conglomerate, Engineering and Industrial
Products and Metals.
A survey made in 2013 by KPMG in Asia-Pacific; Europe, The Middle East, Africa and America reveal that
the global manufacturers are generally optimistic about the future. The manufacturing sector provides
employment to 14 % of population and contributes 16 % to GDP and at present the global manufacturing
is growing at a rate 1.5-1.7%.
In India, the manufacturing is growing at a rate of 2-2.5%. The manufacturing sector contributes 15-16%

1.2.8 Engineering and Manufacturing Management
Manufacturing remains critically important to both the developing and advanced world. Globally,
manufacturing continues to grow at the rate of 16% and the trend is to adopt competitive manufacturing
practices to achieve efficient utilisation of resources, improve customer satisfaction and reduce
environmental impact. Hence managing manufacturing operations is very critical.
Manufacturing has not been the engine of growth for the Indian economy till 90s. It is now growing at
much faster rate and India is aspiring to become a manufacturing hub. There exists a scope for adopting
efficient manufacturing management practices for improving the performance.
Manufacturing Management plays an important role to improve planning, execution, control and
sustenance of operations there by contributing to the growth of manufacturing in India. Manufacturing is
vital for a populous and developing country like India as it creates more jobs. It is estimated that Indian
companies need around 1500 manufacturing management professionals every year.
Many world class manufacturing companies like Toyota, ABB, Volvo, TVS along with large number of
medium and small scale industries are operating in and around Bangalore. In addition, a significant
number of public sector and defence sector companies like BEML, BHEL, BEL, HAL are located here.
Machine tool and cutting tool manufacturers like ACE group, Makino, BFW, Kennametal, Taegutec, etc.,
have set up their plants.
Service sector acts as complementary to manufacturing sector and Bangalore hosts a large number of
engineering services firms. There is a need for engineering management professionals in both
manufacturing and service sectors.
Manufacturing management involves various contemporary engineering management methodologies

to improve efficiency. Success of a manufacturing company depends on its resources, capabilities and
strategy. The current developments in lean manufacturing, supply chain and quality management are the
topics of interest for research. The course inculcates a research culture to develop, analyse and adopt

1.2.9 Robotic Engineering
Aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, homes, transport and logistics, healthcare, biomedicine,

defence, agriculture, search and rescue, nuclear facilities and other hazardous environments servicing
and inspection and mass production of industrial products need Robotics. Industries, developing systems
for these sectors need well qualified Robotic Engineers. Manufacturing is growing at a rate of 1.5-1.7%
globally and the sector is rapidly adopting Robotics technologies for cost effective production to face
global competition from lower labour cost countries creating demand for Robotic Engineering. In Europe
alone, growth of the Robotics sector is expected to be 6% per year in the next 3 years to reach more than
32 Billion dollars by 2016 (source: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/h2020-
section/robotics). The current trend is to invest heavily in Robotics, for example, SPARC is the largest
research and innovation program in civilian robotics in the world under a public-private partnership
across industry-academia- European Commission reaching 2.8 Billion Euro investment. Contrary to
earlier apprehensions that Robotics would create unemployment, it has now been estimated that each
industrial robot needs at least 4 highly skilled people such as engineers to run, maintain and service it.
This is in addition to design, control, manufacturing and programming jobs for engineers that are
expected to be created. As a rapidly growing developing country economy under G13 industrialised
nations, India should not lag behind in the boost for Robotics technologies and systems development.
Robotic engineers need to be well versed in geometric modelling of robotic components, mechanisms,
kinematics and dynamics of robotic system, sensors, actuators, drives and control systems, image
processing, embedded systems, programming for robots. Robotic engineers should be able to
conceptualise and design, model, simulate, analyse and validate the robots using modern tools.
Robotic engineering is an inter-disciplinary programme. Therefore faculty members from different

departments would be offering the modules with customisations and additions for this programme. The
graduates would be getting opportunities in manufacturing, healthcare, infrastructure, service sector
and other companies; a few of them expected to take entrepreneurship or research route for growth. The
faculty of engineering and technology plans for further development of the modules customizing them
to the specific requirements of applied robotic engineering and compete with the best universities in the
world while attracting high quality graduates as well as teaching talent from all over the country and
abroad.

1.2.10 Civil Structural Design
operation of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to
space satellites. Major disciplines within civil engineering that are closely interrelated are structural,
environmental, geotechnical, water resources, transportation, construction and urban planning.
Till recently civil engineering teaching was limited to planning, analysis, design and execution of different
types of infrastructure like buildings, roads, bridges, dams and power plants. However, increasing
technological sophistication and demand for higher living standards fuelled by economic growth and
concerns about environmental impact have changed the scope of civil engineering curriculum.
Structural engineering is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that
support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a speciality within civil engineering.
Structural engineers are most commonly involved in the design of buildings and large nonbuilding
structures but they can also be involved in the design of machinery, medical equipment, vehicles or any
item where structural integrity affects the item's function or safety.
The complexity of modern structures often requires a great deal of creativity from the engineer in order
to ensure the structures support and resist the loads they are subjected to. The role of a structural
engineer demands a significant understanding of both static and dynamic loading and the structures that
are available to resist them. Presently, structural engineers need to combine traditional structural
engineering expertise with an understanding of a wide range of issues related to design of zero carbon
buildings. Though there are a large number of institutions world over which are producing civil engineers
there is a significant shortage of structural engineers. The FET at RUAS would like to offer Civil Engineering
programmes to produce imaginative, creative and innovative civil engineers.
RUAS is offering Civil Structural Design course at the postgraduate level. The course focuses on
addressing the professional services needs of construction industry by producing structural engineers
with the requisite knowledge, skills, and expertise to deal efficiently with complex issues for designing
structurally sound and environmentally sustainable buildings. The graduates will get opportunities in
well known construction companies and will be effective and efficient problem solvers providing
economical and sustainable infrastructure solutions in India and abroad.
A great bridge is a great monument which should serve to make known the splendour and genius of a
nation; one should not occupy oneself with efforts to perfect it architecturally, for taste is always
susceptible to change, but to conserve always in its form and decoration the character of solidity which is
proper.
- Jean Peronnet
34
The M. Tech. Programme in Civil Structural Design is of 2 years duration.
The detailed curriculum will be available with the Academic Registrar of the Faculty and
in the University intranet.
Architects and engineers are among the most fortunate of men since they build their own monuments
with public consent, public approval and often public money.

1.2.12 Sanitation Engineering and Waste Management
space satellites. Major disciplines within civil engineering that are closely interrelated are Structural,
Environmental, Geotechnical, Water Resources, Transportation, Construction and Urban Planning.
Until recently Civil Engineering teaching was limited to Planning, Analysis, Design and Execution of
different types of infrastructure like buildings, roads, bridges, dams and power plants. However,
growth and concerns about environmental impact have changed the scope of Civil Engineering
curriculum.
Sanitation generally refers to hygiene and deals with the provision of facilities for the safe disposal of
human waste. Sanitary engineering is a sub branch of environmental engineering dealing with matters
affecting public health and methods to improve sanitation of human communities, primarily by providing
the removal and disposal of human waste, and in addition to the supply of safe potable water.
Rate of urbanisation in the developing countries as elsewhere has increased in the recent decades. This
has resulted in mega cities in these countries having a staggering share of 80% in world's megacities in
recent decades. Population is expected to double in next two decades resulting in high concentration of
people in urban areas. This will place enormous pressure on local environment and resources, requiring
high demands on clean water and sanitation.
The explosive growth in urbanization and the massive rural to urban migration necessitated the
requirement of rational approaches towards sustainable management of urban drainage, sanitation
provision to urban poor, waste collection and its treatment for proper disposal or reclamation / reuse.
Services and programmes that include proper waste disposal methods for management of hazardous
biological and chemical wastes, minimisation and recycling will be needed.
Developing countries are still in the transition towards better waste management but they currently have
insufficient collection and improper disposal of wastes. The authorities in the developing countries are
crippled by the lack of proper and scientific approach towards the waste management mainly due to the
increasing generation of waste. In this scenario, most acute and relevant issues related to sanitation and
waste management require special attention so that innovative and sustainable solutions can be
formulated.
With a lot of stress on reducing carbon emission and interdependencies between resources, an Engineer
needs world-class skill base coupled with flair for innovation and understanding of the
interdependencies between resources and infrastructural demands. This can be done only by inculcating
multidisciplinary skills in water supply, sanitary, environmental and public health aspects.

Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative
flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your
bones, as well as with your eyes.

2.2.1 Product Design
India, the land of a billion people as per census carried out by the Indian Government in the year 2011 is a
large and diverse market. The diversity in terms of its various cultures, traditions, religions, customs and
practices make it not only unique but also complex for both Indian and International corporations to
cater to. Merely reintroducing successful products offered elsewhere into the Indian market may not
accomplish the same effect as the needs, wants, desires and preferences of the Indian customers are
different. To cater to the Indian aspirations and preferences companies globally are retuning their
strategies and offerings in India.
To offer Indian centric products, corporations need the assistance of Indian designers to understand and
design products for the local market. According to a report published by an advisory and management
consulting firm Zinnov in the year 2013, a majority of the global top 500 research and development (R&D)
spenders have their own centers in India and at least 100 such companies have opened their R&D centers
in India in the last 2 years. Some of the forerunners focusing on product development and innovation in
the Indian market include 3M, Dell, HP Labs, Philips, Honda, General Motors, Nissan, Samsung,
Panasonic, Airbus Innovation, Onida, Mahindra & Mahindra, Micromax, Tata Technologies, Godrej, Bajaj,
TVS Motor Company, to name a few.
With an intention to create highly knowledgeable, industry ready and sought-after product designers,
innovators and thinkers, the Faculty of Art and Design at the University has developed a superior design
course in the field of Product Design. This course provides the prospective students the holistic approach
to product design. It includes research methods to obtain the needs and wants of the target consumers
and translate the insights found to create aesthetic, ergonomic and functionally appealing products for
the target consumers. Additionally the students will also be taught advanced methods such as Design for
Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and Theory of Inventive problem solving (TRIZ) for product
innovation. The graduates will also be able to identify newer opportunities gaps for design intervention in
the market. The graduates thus produced will be the design thinkers and innovators of the future.
As design is highly interdisciplinary in nature, the University provides an ideal platform for students to
interact and work with others from different disciplines such as engineering, medicine and management.
Furthermore, the Faculty of Art and Design at the University is presently associated with PACE (Partners
for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education) which links firms such as General Motors,
Siemens, Hewlett-Packard with selected academic institutions worldwide to nurture young talent and
create the product development teams of the future. With experience, they should be able to take up
leadership positions or pursue entrepreneurship.
71
The M. Des. Programme in Product Design is of 2 years duration. The course structure is as described
below:
72
2.2.2 Commercial and Retail Design
One of the fastest growing industries in India in recent times is the retail sector and is rated as one of the
most attractive emerging markets for investment by global companies with Bangalore being the
preferred location. The growth rate is likely to be boosted by the increase in the spending capacity of
consumers. This trend creates avenues in the field of retail design for conducting research on customer
needs and aspirations along with consumer behavior and emotions in addition to developing innovative,
aesthetically attractive and functional design of retail spaces.
To sustain the growth rate, many organizations will need the services of designers, developers,
innovators, managers and marketing professionals with a postgraduate degree in Commercial and Retail
Design. The postgraduate professionals will have opportunities to work with global enterprises, establish
their own business or continue with family businesses and take up leadership positions.
The Commercial and Retail Design Masters' degree programme at RUAS is designed to impart a high-
order overview and understanding of Commercial and Retail Design and produce professionals equipped
with creative and problem solving skills to develop innovative concepts of retail spaces, display and
interactive design solutions, environmentally compatible systems and specialised interiors and systems.
The Faculty of Art and Design at RUAS is staffed with professors from diverse specialisations like Applied
Arts, Design, Visual Arts, Architecture, Engineering and Management with extensive experience in
academics, studios and execution of design projects. With an excellent infrastructure and an exceptional
faculty, RUAS has developed a reputation amongst students, industries and research sponsors. The
Faculty of Art and Design plans for further development of the CRD course and attract high quality
graduates as well as teaching talent from India and abroad.
73
The M. Des. Programme in Commercial and Retail Design is of 2 years duration. The course structure is as
described below:
74
2.2.3 Rural Product Design
Rural development in India implies both the economic betterment of people as well as greater social
transformation, while addressing the special needs of the rural population which amounts to over three
quarters of the total Indian population.
The need for specific rural ethnographic research studies offers great opportunities and insights into the
rural scenario, the documented results of these research activities may be used in finding suitable
applications for developing products and services catering to their specific rural needs and also
enhancing their living standards. The rural products are of great significance adding values of culture,
tradition and innovative applications of indigenous design.
The necessity for developing products and solutions by exploring innovative methods of utilising rural
produce, byproducts and waste for development of cottage and small scale industries which are
sustainable, economical and generic to a rural population is in fact the need of the hour. Combining
traditional methodologies and techniques with present technological trends to develop cost effective
technical solutions and products with emphasis on agricultural equipment, transportation, utilization of
water resources along with renewable energy sources like solar and wind is of prime importance.
In order to achieve the above mentioned goals, the combined expertise of designers, developers,
innovators, manufacturing and testing professionals as well as managers is imperative.
RUAS has been actively involved with Universities, NGO's and related organisations over the years in
addressing various needs of the rural sector in the region with participation by multidisciplinary
professionals with vast experience in the field.
This course is proposed for fulfilling the demand for professionals with a Master's degree in Rural Product
Design equipped with the required creative skills combined with the knowledge of the product and
application aspects of the design process.
75
The M. Des. Programme in Rural Product Design is of 2 years duration. The course structure is as
described below:
76
2.2.4 Computer Animation and Game Design
The Animation and Gaming Industry in India has experienced a remarkable change in recent years. The
industry that was only considered as an outsourcing hub for global companies focusing on delivery of
post-production work is now progressing towards generating original content through innovative
business models and gradually moving up the value chain. Adding to it, companies are increasingly
adopting the 'Co-Production' model (Revenue-Sharing). This trend opens high revenue opportunities for
the Indian players.
In early 2012, Karnataka became the first Indian state to unveil a policy for the Animation Visual Effects
Gaming and Comics (AVGC) sector, recognising its growth potential. Salient features of the policy were to
make Karnataka the most favored destination for investment in Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and
Comics, capturing a larger share of outsourced international AVGC work, and facilitating a legal
framework for IP creation and protection. In addition, the policy envisages an environment that
promotes growth of indigenous digital content, education and entertainment for masses and the setting
up of a Center of Excellence with state-of-the-art facilities. Bangalore is already a hub to national and
international animation and gaming giants such as Dreamworks, Technicolor, Tata Elxsi, MPC, Dhruva
Interactive, Xentrix, Digital Juice Animation, Digital Chocolate, etc. To cater the growing needs of
corporate sector in India, trained workforce in animation and gaming is required. However, India faces
numerous challenges in realizing the potential such as significant talent crunch due to non-standardised
course curriculum, infrastructure and cultural constraints.
In this situation, RUAS gives an ideal platform for the students through its highly intensive course, M. Des
in Computer Animation and Game Design. This course offers a unique opportunity which allows the
students to explore the design and aesthetic components of animation film making as well as game
design and thereby increasing their breadth of knowledge. This course is designed to introduce students
to several key issues raised in the development of an animation film and video game design in its variety
of forms. This course is proposed for fulfilling the demand for professionals with a Master's degree in
Computer Animation and Game Design equipped with required creative skills combined with the
knowledge of the product and application aspects of Computer Animation and Game Design. The
department is staffed with professors with extensive experience in academics, studios and executing
design projects. With an excellent infrastructure and an exceptional faculty, RUAS has developed a
reputation amongst students, parents, industries and research sponsors. The Faculty of Art and Design
plans for further development of CAGD course and compete with the best universities in the world and
attract high quality graduates as well as teaching talent from all over the country and abroad.

2.2.5 Fashion Design
India has a very rich tradition in textile and clothing and is well known globally for its highly valued textiles

3.1.2 Human Resources Management
Human Resource Management (HRM) deals with responsibilities, functions, behaviors and importance
of employees. The world has become a global community making it possible for Human Resource (HR) to
move across boundaries. As a result of globalisation, the world economy is interlinked and subject to
regulation by international bodies. According to McKinsey's Survey 2012, the demand for employees in
advanced economies is expected to increase by about 16 million over next six years. More and more
people are working for international organisations and the labour force is becoming more culturally
diverse and firms have to compete at global level. Hence, management of human resources is
increasingly becoming crucial.
The economic growth of India has created unprecedented demand for talented and trained human
resources. To meet this demand, the Government of India is encouraging private and public sectors to
establish more management courses. The bustling activity in many Indian business sector organisations,
indicate the criticality of managing the human resources in any organisation. Human Resource Specialists
are in great demand for deploying their skills to hire, manage and retain talent in times of downturn as
well as economic growth.
Karnataka State Level Skill Survey report highlights requirement of 3.5 million additional workforce by
2020. Sectors such as IT, fashion, manufacturing, retail, public and government etc. would require this
infusion of workforces in order to match the growth. In addition, there is need for skilled HR
professionals for competitive enterprises.
An organisation's success is critically dependent on effective management of its employees. It is

increasingly vital to have skilled, committed and empowered employees in the challenging business
scenario. The current developments in corporate social responsibility, talent and knowledge

3.1.3 Financial Management
Finance Management deals with aspects related to asset selection, financing and profit sharing As firms
internationalise, they are subject to risks from the global economic environment. There is a constant
pressure to increase shareholder value while minimising exposure to global economic risks. Therefore it
is imperative to impart advanced finance skills to manage the organisations.
India is an important emerging market in the world economy today. There is a need to adapt Finance
Management as inflation and interest rates are mostly higher than those in developed countries.
Financial Services sector in India is seeing robust growth and with an average savings rate of 25 per cent,
India is a preferred investment destination. Thus there is an increasing demand for Finance professionals
in India, across industries.
Karnataka recorded the highest growth rates in terms of Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and per
capita GSDP in the last decade compared to other states. With an overall GSDP growth of 56.2% and a per
capita GSDP growth of 43.9% in the last decade, Karnataka surpassed all other states in India, pushing
Karnataka's per capita income in Indian Rupee terms to sixth place.

3.1.4 Operations Management
Operations management deals with transformation process of input resources into goods or services.
Globally, operations account for more than 60 per cent of cash outflow. In particular, operations manager
deals with devising strategies, designing processes, planning and controlling of scarce resources. Due to
opening up of global markets, managing operations for diverse organisations is becoming complex.
According to Delloite's report, availability of high quality human talent to manage operations is viewed as
critical competitiveness driver. Moreover, organisations are strategically moving their operations closer
to their end markets in order to reduce costs and risks.
Based on competitiveness index survey 2013-14, emerging markets like India is considered as one of the
competitive regions for conducting business. Due to this unprecedented growth, there exists scope for
adapting effective operations management practices to improve performance. Bengaluru houses many
world class companies like Toyota, Cap Gemini, HoneyWell, Tesco along with large number of medium
and small scale industries. To survive and grow, these organisations require around 500-600 operations
personnel and managers annually with a postgraduate degree in management for the next 5-6 years. It is
the primary responsibility of the universities to produce quality graduates to leverage growth. Hence, a
post graduate degree is essential to carry out analysis and recommend suitable competitive strategies for
sustainable growth.
In order to fill this gap, Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) has been offering operations
management course at the postgraduate level since 2007. The course inculcates a research culture to
develop, analyse and adapt appropriate operations strategy for a process and is designed in consultation
with industry professionals and foreign universities. Further, RUAS gives an ideal platform for the
students by exposing them to different aspects of operations management. Once organisations stabilise
their operations process, they look for universities for academic research to enhance their productivity.
This culture envisages RUAS to create knowledge base in operations management and share experiences
to student community through case studies. The graduates are getting opportunities in the well known
business houses mentioned earlier; a few of them are taking entrepreneurship route and many of them
have taken research route for growth. In fact, operations management is one of the flagship courses of
Faculty of Management and Commerce. Over the years, the department has grown intellectually and has
developed a reputation amongst students, parents, and corporates. The Faculty of Management and
Commerce plans for further development of Operations Management course to compete with the best
universities in the world by attracting high quality graduates as well as teaching talent from all over the
country and abroad.

3.1.5 Small Business and Entrepreneurship
Worldwide, small enterprises have been driving the economic growth for promoting equitable
development. Globally, the largest part of revenue and employment with low capital cost is generated by
small enterprises. They constitute over 90% of total enterprises in most of the economies and account for
a major share of industrial production and exports. Hence, managing small business enterprises is very
crucial.
In India, small and medium scale business sector employs an estimated 60 million people spread over 26
million enterprises. This accounts for about 45% of the manufacturing output and around 40% of the
total export of the country.
In recent years, the small business sector has consistently registered higher growth rate compared to the
overall industrial sector. With its vigour and vitality, it is found to be highly innovative and adaptable in
surviving the recent economic downturn and recession. Hence there exists a scope for adapting efficient
management practices for improving the performance of small business enterprises (SBE). SBE provides
a platform for nurturing entrepreneurial talent.
The achievements of Karnataka in promoting key sectors like telecommunication, electronics,

information technology, precision engineering, automobiles, garments, bio-technology and food
processing has been note worthy. The strong base of large and medium scale industry established in
Karnataka has given a wide scope for promotion of entrepreneurship in vibrant small scale sector.
The report of the working group on Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) growth for 12th five
year plan (2012-2017) highlights the impressive performance of MSME compared to most of the other
sectors at a rate of 13 % during the 11th five year plan. Such economic growth in MSME sector of India
has created a demand for research and innovation to manage, start or expand a small business.
Since general M.B.A. programmes offered by various educational organisations across the country have
been addressing the business management with a general perspective, there is a need for specialised
courses at the postgraduate level in SBE management to sustain its current growth rate.
In view of this, Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) has developed this postgraduate course
entitled Small Business and Entrepreneurship leading to M.B.A. degree based on inputs from small and
medium industries. The course will attract graduates to make a career in MSMEs. In addition, the
graduates may have opportunities to continue with family business or establish own business or pursue
higher education.

3.1.6 Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship requires a dedicated approach coupled with a set of refined skills with a lot initiative
and motivation to set up a business or an enterprise. Entrepreneurs play a significant role in the economic
development of a country. They are always ready to face numerous challenges on the road to success.
The entrepreneurial process of creating value out of good idea, brings innovative products into existence.
The intensity of the challenge to promote an entrepreneurship culture as well as to evolve new
enterprises in a sustainable and competitive fashion varies between countries. Entrepreneurs are the
largest creators of wealth and employment globally and the Indian Government has realized the
importance of creating an enabling environment that encourages large-scale growth of entrepreneurial
activity.
In India, today, a start-up ecosystem has been created through the new policy initiatives which would
promote start-ups in all sectors. It would also give a significant push to micro units allowing them
graduate faster as small and medium units. Research data reflects the success of start-ups in e-commerce
and other IT based applications of service sector.
For start-ups today there are different levels of financial support such as the initial seed capital in the
form of incubators, angel funds or venture capital funds followed by private equity and debt in that order.
Between January-September 2015, Angel Funds and VCFs have invested $7.3 billion in early stage Indian
Start-ups. India's first generation e-commerce and mobile entrepreneurs have become angel investors
which is a sign of maturing of start-up ecosystem.
To give boost to the Make in India programme, the MSME Ministry has launched the ASPIRE scheme in
March 2015, a Scheme for Promotion of Innovation, Rural Industry and Entrepreneurship. SETU (Self
Employment and Talent Utilization) is a Techno-Financial, Incubation and Facilitation Programme to
support all aspects of start-up businesses and other self-employment activities, particularly in
technology driven areas operated from NITI Aayog.
India's growing metropolises beyond Delhi/NCR, Bengaluru and Mumbai that include more than 20
upcoming metros and Tier 1 destinations are adding fuel to its fiery start-up space. A recent study
showed that Bangalore is the 2nd fastest growing start-up ecosystem in the World. This city is a great
fusion of hi-quality talent, better access to capital with a high density of investors and mentorship
support, a conducive government that announced initiatives like building one of the Asia's biggest start-
up warehouse, an Internet of Things Lab, etc., that attract companies from cities like Delhi and Mumbai
and certainly across India.
Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS), Bangalore encourages students to participate in

technology development and set up their own enterprises through a dedicated centre knowns as
Technology Product Incubation and Entrepreneurship development Centre. This centre funds the
students who have a bright technology idea and helps them to realise a working prototype that can be
patented and subsequently commercialised. Through the financial support from Ministry of MSME,
RUAS provides all required means & resources the wings and landing gear, to develop truly innovative
technology ideas by entrepreneurs and mould them to take off as a micro or small industry, beneficial to
the society. A start-up acceleration program is also formulated comprising of Venture Capitalists, Anger
Investors and experts from various domains in the industry who would be closely monitoring the
students and would be a part of an advisory panel.
This programme is aimed at preparing and transforming professionals into entrepreneurs in a holistic
way by developing their ability to envisage, innovate, organize, manage and produce a workable idea into
a well marketable product which can add value to the company and society through time

3.1.7 Master of Hospital Administration (M. H. A.)
There is an increasing focus on quality, optimisation, improved productivity and sustainability in hospital
operations across the globe. The vital administrative functions of a hospital such as accounts, human
resource management, quality, logistics and supply chain, public relations, marketing and waste
management are increasingly being managed by professional healthcare managers to achieve
effectiveness and efficiency in day-to-day operations.
In India, the current Hospital Bed to Patient ratio is under 1:1000, way below the global ratio of 3:1000.
With the addition of new hospitals, emerging second and third tier cities, deeper penetration of super
specialty health care and health insurance, rising income levels, ageing population, growing health
awareness and increasing medical tourism in the country, the healthcare sector is growing at an explosive
pace, estimated to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% by the brand equity foundation of
India in their March 2014 report. This scenario coupled with increasing complexities and advances in
healthcare delivery has created a significant need for professionally trained health care managers.
The present numbers of skilled healthcare managers in the country are inadequate to meet this
burgeoning demand. The Department of Hospital Administration in the M. S. Ramaiah Hospitals has
been instrumental in identifying this need and producing Master of Hospital Administration (M.H.A.)
graduates with a sound foundation in management and a strong sense of business ethics. The M.H.A.
course now being offered under Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) further enhances the
value of the programme by revamping the curriculum to equip students with management skills,
necessary to meet the unique and dynamic challenges of the healthcare sector not just locally, but in a
global context.

management from the Faculty of Business Management, and gaining practical, hands-on experience in
management of services in a state-of-the-art, tertiary super-specialty hospital under hospital
administrators' guidance and supervision. Specialised training in product development, innovation and
soft skills has been incorporated into the programme to enable the students to remain relevant and
competitive in the dynamic healthcare sector.
With its research orientation, the course further fosters creative thinking, critical analysis and innovation,
thus contributing to the creation of a knowledge economy.

in an elite club of countries possessing advanced nuclear technology. The evolution and development of
commercial nuclear technology in the country has passed through several technological revolutions.
While developing and implementing the nuclear power programme, the Indian industry capability in
manufacturing and supply of high precision and specialised equipment has also been developed, which is
comparable to international standards. Nuclear power programme is poised for a large expansion and
there is plenty of scope for physicists with a sound knowledge of reactor physics to play an important role
in the years to come. In our country, teaching/research in nuclear physics is being carried out in a number
of Universities and atomic energy establishments. Nuclear physics forms an important component of
postgraduate physics courses in physics. After nearly two decades of IT revolution and its booming
economic impact on the country, there is a positive trend and appreciation for the role and importance of
basic sciences for further technological advancement. There is a need for qualified and competent post
graduate students with sound knowledge of Physics in general, and nuclear technology in particular.
Although there are numerous institutions and Universities which offer Post-graduate degree courses in
Nuclear Physics, vast majority of them offer more conventional content based academic curriculum
which inherently lacks application oriented approach that is essential to make the degree programme
more fulfilling and professional from student career perspective.
The Faculty of Science and Humanities of RUAS offers the M.Sc.(Nuclear Physics and Technology) course
with an outcome based curriculum emphasizing the Critical, Analytical and Problem Solving skills to
equip the students to pursue their scientific and research career with better preparedness and matured

4.1.3 Optoelectronics
Optoelectronics has been a buoyant area for careers for the last 30 years, and there are signs of this trend
increasing, rather than diminishing. It is at the heart of our world's most exciting technologies. It is a
technology of the future. Optoelectronics, fiber optic communication and optical networks have
revolutionised global communication. Apart from global communication, optical technologies are widely
used for system development in the areas of distributed sensing, biomedical applications, industrial
manufacturing, display and lighting and defence environments. India has a gigantic consumer market for
these optical components and systems. The government is also encouraging photovoltaics as an
alternative for generating energy. Biomedical optics including microscopy, endoscopy and skin treatment
is another major application area of optoelectronics. The study of physics and technology of
optoelectronic devices, fibre optic communication and optical networks for efficient transmission of
information across the globe has become very important and presents exciting job opportunities. This
interdisciplinary field is ideal for creative and versatile physicists to play their crucial role in technology
development. In our country, teaching/research in optoelectronics is being carried out at a number of
Universities and CSIR/Defence laboratories. There are also plenty of opportunities for pursuing doctoral
programmes in US/Europe. In a majority of Indian Universities, topics in optoelectronics are taught as a
part of the course in solid state physics. Consequently, postgraduate students opting for solid state
physics do not get an in-depth knowledge of optoelectronics. Also these courses lack application
oriented approach, that is essential to make the degree programme more fulfilling and professional from
student career perspective.
After nearly two decades of IT revolution and its booming economic impact on the country, there is a
positive trend and appreciation for the role and importance of basic sciences for further technological

utilitarian value. Chemical industries are an essential part of any nation's economy. Chemical
industry contributes around 7 % of the Indian GDP. The industry presently produces around
70,000 commercial products, which range from toiletries and cosmetics, to plastics and
pesticides. Globalisation poses many challenges to the industry, which had predominantly
developed in a protected environment. With World Trade Organisation assuming an increasing
role in global economics, there is an inevitable move towards an inter-linked international
economy. In India, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology have performed exceedingly well even
at the world level. During 2005-06, the industry contributed 17.6% of the manufacturing sector
and could grow at 11%pa to have a market of $224billion by 2017. The Indian chemical industry
thus offers a wide spectrum of job opportunities for chemists. There is a great demand for

A critical element that has opened up career opportunities for medicinal chemists in India is the
globalisation phenomenon and participation of India in GATT and WTO agreements. Post-
1995, a few leading major Indian pharmaceutical companies initiated the game of drug
discovery. Since then the demand for medicinal chemists has begun to grow. Post-2005, both
multinational and major domestic pharmaceutical companies in India are experiencing a
paradigm shift from business-driven research to research-driven business, with an increased
R&D thrust focused not only on development of innovative/indigenous processes for known
drugs but also on the discovery of new drugs. The increase in medicinal chemistry employment
in Asian pharmaceutical companies and Contract Research Organisations collaborating with US
and European companies has created a need for chemists to acquire state of the art knowledge
of Medicinal Chemistry.

5.1.1 Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS)
The art and science of dentistry, though considerably advanced from where it began, is still in a
progressive stage of research. Awareness of dental health amongst the population, is increasing by the
day, even in semi urban and non urban areas with increased demand for conservative and esthetic
treatment.
Dentists form a crucial component of the healthcare delivery system of the country. While the WHO
states that the ideal ratio of dentist to population is 1:7500, the current proportions are at 1:13,500 in
urban areas based on a report from the DCI. This gap is much more in rural are as where it can be as high
as 1: 150,000. Therefore, the education of dentistry is in greater demand than ever before. At the same
time, standards of healthcare and education of the healthcare provider have been escalating in India, to
match world standards .
There are a large number of institutions world over which are producing dentists and yet, there is a
shortage of quality dental graduates who may have limited exposure to patients, to state of art clinical
equipment, faculty focused on research, or all.
The FDS at RUAS has state of art clinical equipment; such as CBCT, Skill labs and others; that is constantly
upgraded to be at par or beyond the best in the country. This with excellent clinical exposure to patients in
addition to our rural health programs and innovative teaching methodologies with stringent quality
control protocols gives our students a competitive advantage.
The value additions of patient safety, basic life support, ethics and jurisprudence, advanced information
communication technologies simulation labs and inter-university internships overseas raise the bar of
education for our students preparing them better for employment and future research.
The presence of other Faculties of Applied Sciences on the campus enables the student to seek education
beyond the conventional curriculum; for example, the use of 3D printing and rapid prototyping from the
Faculty of Engineering and Technology. The presence of a 1400 bed hospital on the same campus offers
invaluable clinical experience.
This enables our graduates to take an entrepreneurial route, management positions in hospitals,
employment in the corporate sector or armed forces, and prepare them for higher education. The FDS at
RUAS is pleased to offer this bachelor of dentistry program to address the oral and health problems of
society through highly motivated and well prepared graduates.

5.2.1 Oral Medicine and Radiology
Although Oral medicine and Oral Radiology are distinct specialities in many parts of the world, it is a
combined specialty in India. Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology deals with the diagnosis and
management of oral disorders and production and interpretation of radiographic images of the oral and
maxillofacial region.
The mouth is the major portal of entry to the body and is equipped with formidable mechanisms for
sensing the environment and defending against various pathogens. The oral cavity serves as a window to
the body because many important systemic disorders manifest here. The oral physician is the first
medical person to encounter such disorders. Poor oral health has been linked with various systemic
disorders like cardiovascular disorders, malignancies, low birth weight preterm babies, hematological
disorders and osteoporosis which have certain manifestations in the oral cavity. These oral
manifestations must be properly identified if the patient is to receive appropriate diagnosis and
treatment.
In India, Iron deficiency anaemia is the most commonly encountered hematological disorder, especially
among females and children. Pallor of oral mucosa, atrophy of the tongue, angular cheilitis, etc are some
of the early and first oral manifestations of this disorder. Here an oral physician plays a very important role
in early diagnosis and management. Oral Medicine and Radiology is one such specialty which provides
the missing link between Medicine and Dentistry.
Oral medicine and radiology has a curriculum envisaged with oral mucosal lesions, tumors, oral
manifestation of systemic diseases, radiographic imaging principles and techniques and its
interpretation, palliative care and treatment modalities. With recent advances and modernization of
imaging techniques this speciality serves as a promising career and research option for aspiring
graduates.
Masters degree programme in Oral medicine and Radio diagnosis is a 3 year residency programme. It is
mainly associated with training in Oral Medicine, Diagnosis, craniofacial radiology and applied sciences.
The course aim is to promote academic growth with utmost importance towards research in the field of
molecular advancements, and radio diagnosis. The primary educational aim is to nurture post graduates
to attain excellence in education, research and patient care in the field of oral and cranio facial diagnosis.
The speciality aims to train the postgraduates to acquire good diagnostic acumen and unique skills
required in terms of image interpretation, pattern recognition, deduction diagnosis and patient focused
care. It provides a platform for maximum learning opportunities and enables them to disseminate the
knowledge learnt through the course.
5.2.2 Periodontics
Periodontics is a specialty of dentistry which encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
diseases of the supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth or their substitutes and the maintenance
of the health, function and esthetics of these structures and tissues. Since periodontal diseases are one
of the largest causes of tooth mortality it becomes very essential to enhance awareness amongst all
populations and health care professionals. Adequate knowledge of the subject is of utmost importance
in early identification and proper treatment of periodontal diseases.
In the Indian population the awareness regarding periodontal health needs to be enhanced to a higher
level in order to improve the quality of life amongst them. This can be achieved by providing quality
education to the budding Periodontists to cater to the increasing demands.
118
Periodontal disease has been linked to many other systemic diseases, like diabetes, cardiovascular
disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease and so on. Also periodontal disease presents a serious
public health problem, with millions of individuals across the globe being affected by it. Knowing the
impact of periodontal health on general health, it is crucial for people to maintain healthy teeth and
gums. This includes diligent home care, as well as receiving an annual comprehensive periodontal
evaluation from a dental professional. Treatment of periodontal disease in patients with systemic health
problems helps improve control of the disease.
All these situations provide a huge platform for research in this specialty opening newer avenues for
advanced diagnosis, treatment and maintenance. This provides a strong rationale to incorporate
periodontics as a specialty in dental education.
The aims of postgraduate training in Periodontics are to train the postgraduates to practice Periodontics
efficiently and effectively, backed by scientific knowledge and skill. They should be able to exercise
empathy and a caring attitude and maintain high ethical standards and continue to evince keen interest in
continuing professional education in their specialty and allied specialties irrespective of whether in
teaching or practice. The students should be willing to share the knowledge and skills with any learner,
junior or a colleague. Finally to develop the faculty for critical analysis and evaluation of various concepts
and views, to adopt the most rational approach.
5.2.3 Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialty which addresses a wide range of problems involving the Head
and Neck region which has an impact on the overall health and well being of the individual. The scope of
this specialty is very extensive; from the surgical removal of unsalvageable and impacted teeth, pre-
prosthetic surgery and implants to management of maxillofacial space infections, maxillofacial
pathology, maxillofacial trauma, orofacial pain, oral cancer, aesthetic facial problems,
temporomandibular joint disorders, cleft lip and palate and the like. Also of great importance is the
multidisciplinary team approach in the management of these problems by coordinating with the other
dental specialties as well as with allied specialties such as anesthesia, neurosurgery, general surgery,
otolaryngology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, medical and radiation oncology and so on.
In the Indian Scenario the need for the basic maxillofacial surgeon is of prime importance. The common
surgical problems have to be skillfully and comprehensively addressed at the grass root level at the
primary health care centers. This will definitely impact the rural sector positively where provision of
preventive and therapeutic care has multiple barriers including lack of awareness, access to oral care and
unaffordability.
Specialized intensive clinical and surgical training in this field is mandatory to treat these complex
maxillofacial problems and also effectively interface with other allied disciplines to provide holistic care.
Higher surgical training in Oral Oncology, Aesthetic Facial Surgery and Cleft and Craniofacial problems is
fast gaining importance.
Considering the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of the problems involved, continuous lifelong
learning through scientific interactions and both basic and clinical research is required for better and
more effective management. Today, the need of the hour is to train students intensively in the
management of oral and maxillofacial problems at the basic level as well as to provide higher surgical
training to manage complex cranio-maxillofacial problems so that it is all encompassing.
Masters degree programme in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is designed to impart training based on
sound professional knowledge coupled with basic surgical skills to enable the student to competently
diagnose and treat oral surgical problems. Students will be trained to acquire advanced theoretical and
application skills in all facets of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; high order skills in analysis, critical
119
evaluation, professional clinical application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think
rigorously and independently. The programme will develop a sense of confidence in their surgical skills
and clinical judgment and encourage a desire for continuation of professional study and self
improvement. The students are encouraged to meet the human resources requirements in the area of
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; in oral health care research, in academics and teaching career, specialty
practice and also pursue further training through fellowship and continuing education programmes.
5.2.4 Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
The health of teeth and mouth are linked to overall health and well-being in many ways. Dental caries
being the most common infectious disorder affecting the teeth, loss of tooth structure due to caries,
trauma or any other cause can also affect the self-esteem of our patients. Due to improved awareness
and access to information there is an increased demand for retaining one's own teeth as compared to
extraction as was seen in the recent past. There is also an increased demand for esthetic treatment
options. Patient care can only be improved with advances in science made possible through research.
Knowledge of the disease process and material science technology thus has progressed in leaps and
bounds that one can prevent, intercept, as well as effectively treat the disease at the most appropriate
time.
In Indian scenario dental caries affects significant number of Indian population. The prevalence of caries
in India is reported to range from 31.5% to 89%. Conservative dentists and Endodontists share a
responsibility to tackle the emerging trend of dental caries and related dental disorders, responsibility to
help restore and retain the smiles of the population. Hence there is a national and overseas demand for
dental surgeons who are highly knowledgeable in Restorative Dentistry & Endodontology. The need of
the hour is hence to train specialists in the field with sound scientific knowledge and the required
psychomotor skills to tackle ethically varied challenging clinical scenarios affecting the teeth with ease
and proficiency.
Masters degree programme in Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics is to develop functional and
practically trained personnel for prevention and treatment of the disease and injuries of the hard tissues
and the pulp of the tooth and associated periapical lesions. The objective is to train a candidate so as to
ensure higher competence in field of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics and prepare them for a
career in teaching, research and speciality practice
5.2.5 Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics
Social and psychological aspect of physical attractiveness hampered by malocclusion and jaw
discrepancies is a known fact and psychological well being is an intangible benefit to the society as a
whole. The role of orthodontic treatment is analogous to that of several other medical specialities such as
plastic surgery and orthopedics, in which patients problem often does not result from disease but from
distortion of development. Therefore orthodontic treatment for these people is essential, and it is shown
that such treatment improves the quality of life. Also oral diseases especially dental caries, periodontal
diseases arising from irregular teeth, speech defects and risk of trauma because of some type of
malocclusion, temperomandibular joint problems arising from deep bite and occlusal prematurities and
combined multidisciplinary approach for congenital defects like cleft lip and palate often necessitates
orthodontic treatment. Intervention of adverse oral habits and as an adjunct for prosthetic
rehabilitation, are the added scope of orthodontics. In the Indian scenario, as malocclusion is a
predominant factor, but at the same time due to lack of patients education, it is the most neglected
aspect. Hence the orthodontist should aim at identifying the problem, educating the patient and plan a
necessary treatment in order to achieve structural balance, functional stability and esthetic harmony.
Orthodontics includes study of growth and development of jaws and face particularly and body generally
120
as influencing the position of teeth; study of action and reaction of internal and external influences on
the development; prevention and correction of arrested and perverted development. It is that area of
Dentistry concerned with supervision, guidance and correction of growing and mature dento-facial
structures including those conditions require movement of teeth or correction of malrelation and
malformation of related structures.
Considering that the patients with dentofacial deformities constitute a major portion of population and
with the demand for treatment for both children and adults, presently we have a shortage of
orthodontists in the country, it is imperative to train more orthodontists to address the orthodontic
health care needs of the community.
Masters degree programme in Orthodontics and Dento-facial Orthopedics is designed to impart training
in clinical diagnosis and management of common orthodontic problems such as dental malocclusion,
skeletal jaw discrepancies, malformation & malfunctioning of oro-facial structures. Postgraduates are
expected to possess advanced theoretical knowledge applied topics in applied basic sciences and in all
facets of Orthodontics and Dento-facial Orthopedics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation,
professional clinical application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and
independently. The postgraduates are expected to exhibit high skill levels in all treatment modalities and
exercise empathy and a caring attitude and maintain high ethical standards. Objective is to train the
candidates so as to ensure higher competence in both general and special area of interest and prepare
them for career in teaching, research and specialty practice. Professional honesty and integrity are also to
be fostered.
5.2.6 Oral Pathology and Microbiology
Oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, tooth loss, oral mucosal lesions &
oropharyngeal cancers, human immunodeficiency virus-related oral diseases and orodental trauma are
major public health problems worldwide. Poor oral health has a profound effect on general health and
quality of life. The burden of oral diseases is particularly high for the disadvantaged and poor population
groups in both developing and developed countries.In the Indian scenario, often oral health is the most
neglected aspect of health care with higher prevalence occurring in rural areas due to multiple barriers
including lack of awareness, access to dental care or unaffordability.
The practice of oral pathology includes research, diagnosis of diseases using clinical, radiographic,
microscopic, biochemical or other examinations. It occupies a unique position in the health care
community for the dental as well as medical professions. A thorough knowledge obtained from this
subject will help to correlate human biology with signs and symptoms of human disease. This will help to
understand oral diseases so that it can be properly diagnosed and adequately treated.
Oral pathology speciality assists the clinicians to diagnose the challenging diseases like head and neck
cancers by providing confirmatory evidence. This can be combined with advanced investigative
techniques. It also navigates the surgeons for better management of patients. Thus it is imperative to
train more oral pathologists to address the oral health care issues.
Masters degree programme in Oral Pathology is structured to ensure adequate coverage at an advanced
level of all areas in Oral Pathology. However, the post graduates are expected to possess high end
theoretical knowledge in applied basic sciences and in all facets of oral pathology; high order skills in
analysis, critical evaluation and diagnosis, professional practical application; and the ability to diagnose
complex oral health diseases independently. The post graduates are expected to meet the human
resource requirement in the arena of oral pathology and opt one of these: exclusive clinical practice,
research or academics.
121
5.2.7 Public Health Dentistry
The present Global scenario has recognized Dental Public Health as a core component of the
undergraduate dental curricula. This recognition acknowledges that Dental Public Health is an important
subject relevant to practice of dentistry.
Oral diseases are a few of the most prevalent health problems throughout the world. Dental caries and
periodontal disease represent most of the problem, but edentulism, oral cancer, orodental trauma,
malocclusion and craniofacial anomalies also contribute to the burden.
Demographic shifts have resulted in differing trends in disease burden among place, person more so
pertaining to economic status of the country. These scenarios pose challenging situations and have
prompted each of the country to adopt methods relevant to their scenario at political level and
community level to combat the disease burden. This burden with differing determinants provides
opportunities for research to plan implementation strategies relevant to their scenarios. Currently,
communities are recognizing the need for broad and diverse input into promotion of oral health. Hence,
graduates with adequate skills in terms of initiating public/private partnerships, community coalitions
and volunteerism and new health communication strategies such as social marketing and media
advocacy are required for being incorporated into public health approaches to improving oral health.
This is the specialty which addresses the problems at community level adopting whole population
strategy, targeted approach and risk group approach. This substantiates the need for training more
graduates to meet these challenges.
Master in Public Health Dentistry is designed to equip the graduates with necessary skills
(communication, social, political), to identify and to ascertain the burden and plan intervention
appropriately. The competencies acquired in terms of application, evaluation and synthesis of
knowledge will enable the graduate to initiate intervention as, advocacy at Government level, lobby
efforts with professional bodies and also at community and individual level. They are also equipped to
demonstrate leadership qualities in organizing community based programs and act as effective link
between Public and community, working in partnership with different sectors. In a nutshell the graduate
should be able to demonstrate transferable skills in his future career prospects. To communicate and
work across agencies and function as effective change agents and able to integrate oral health strategies
into existing and ongoing public health programs.
5.2.8 Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry
Oral diseases especially dental caries is a significant health problem among children that can affect
general health of the child. Infancy and childhood represents a growing phase with constant change that
requires specialized training to provide comprehensive oral care. In the Indian scenario, often oral health
is the most neglected aspect of health care with prevalence of dental diseases crossing more than 40-
50% of children. The proportion assumes greater importance especially in rural sector due to multiple
barriers including lack of awareness, access to dental care or unaffordability.
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Pedodontics and Preventive dentistry is an
age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive, preventive and therapeutic oral
health care for infants and children through adolescence including those with special health care needs.
The definition implies that the pedodontist is primarily involved in the oral health care of infants and
children and therefore has to be contributory to scientific research that can alleviate the oral health
problems. It is also a very professionally satisfying experience to bring about positive oral health
behavior in children that will enrich the professional learning.
Considering that the children constitute a major chunk of population and that at present we have dearth
122
of pedodontists in the country, it is imperative to train more pedodontists to address the oral health care
needs of the children.
Masters degree programme in Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry is designed to impart training in
clinical diagnosis and management of oral health problems in infants, children through adolescence
including children with special health care needs. Postgraduates are expected to possess advanced
knowledge and understanding in all facets of pedodontics and preventive dentistry; high order skills in
analysis, critical evaluation and diagnosis, professional clinical application; and the ability to solve
complex oral health problems in children and those with special health care needs and think rigorously
and independently. The postgraduates are expected to meet the human resources requirements in the
area of Pedodontics and also a few of them may take the path of oral health research for future, a few
them may prefer to be in academics while a few may take up to exclusive clinical practice.
5.2.9 Prosthodontics including Crown and Bridge
The world population is rapidly ageing. Between 2000 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population
over 60 years will double from about 11% to 22%. The absolute number of people aged 60 years and over
is expected to increase from 605 million to 2 billion over the same period. Globally, edentulism
compromises quality of life by reducing masticatory efficiency and thereby the nutrient value of food
consumed. Treatment methodologies to treat edentulism have evolved over the years with near
predictable results.
In India, the problem of edentulism is widely prevalent upto about fifty percent of our population being
partially dentate and about 15%, being completely edentulous. In proportion to our population, this
translates into mind boggling numbers and we still don't have the required number of professionals to
treat and restore these patients. In addition, the lack of awareness of the consequences of edentulism,
the financial inability of a large percentage of the population to avail of state of art services, raises the
need of the professional to be innovative and deliver prosthodontic therapy in a manner that mitigates
the patients' health worries.
On the other hand, Bangalore, being a cosmopolitan city also provides plenty of scope to treat patients
with the highest levels of care possible. This increases the bar for research required in material science as
well as bring about paradigm shifts in treatment methodologies.
A student of MDS Prosthodontics will be exposed to a wide variety of cases, due to, advanced training
centres, location and attachment to the 1400 bed hospitals and the good standing of the institution. As
prosthodontic treatment forms a major portion of private practice, effective training in Prosthodontics
is essential.
The University, by providing excellent educational technologies, research facilities and an atmosphere
conducive for assimilation of knowledge, wants to make available the best possible education in
Prosthodontics , including Crown and Bridge.
Masters degree programme in prosthodontics is aimed to design efficient training and competence to
diagnose and manage clinical situations of partial and complete edentulism and rehabilitation of
associated missing structure by use of removable and/or fixed prosthesis including implantology. The
course will impart knowledge and aid to attain procedural and operative skills in removable and fixed
prosthodontics, maxillofacial Prosthodontics including implantology. Postgraduates are expected to
acquire advanced knowledge in all facets of Prosthodontics with high order skills in analysis, critical
evaluation, professional clinical application, and the ability to solve complex problems and think
rigorously and independently. The postgraduates are expected to meet the human resources
requirements in the area of Prosthodontics. They may take the path of oral health research for future and
a few of them may also prefer to be into academics or take up to exclusive clinical practice.

6.1.1 Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm.)
Pharmacists play a vital role in the health care system from manufacturing to dispensing of medications
including educating the patients regarding rational use of the prescribed drugs. The spectrum of
pharmacy profession is very wide, as it covers numerous opportunities in the pharma industryR&D,
manufacturing and retail, healthcare sector, pharmacy education and regulatory bodies. The current
availability of pharmacists in terms of pharmacist to population ratio is inadequate in this country.
The rapid growth and diversification of the pharma industry and health care sector has created lots of
opportunities for pharmacy graduates. The demand of pharmacists is further growing with the growth of
the industry within the country and outsourcing from abroad. Among the biggest factors fuelling the
growth is contract research for Pharma R&D and contract manufacturing for global pharma companies.

The Hospitality Industry is a diverse and specialised service sector employing millions of people, in a wide
array of jobs around the globe. United Nations World Travel Organisation estimates an annual growth
rate of about 10% in the Hospitality Industry and the need for middle and senior level management
professionals is estimated to grow proportionately. There is a dearth for qualified personnel in the higher
management positions in the hospitality industry. The undergraduate programmes offered by most
institutions have limitations in the management component of hospitality studies which limits the
growth prospects in the industry.

able to grow as a technically skilled entrepreneur.
Machine Tool Operation & Maintenance: The Machine Tool industry is moving towards increasingly
sophisticated CNC machines, driven by demand from key user segments, such as, automobiles and
consumer durables, Aerospace etc. While the estimated manpower requirement in this segment in 2017
is said to be close to 20 lakh people, the same is expected to double by 2022. Therefore, skill training of
149
people in the Machine tool Operation, repair and maintenance is the need of the hour to prepare human
resource for the Machine tool industry. 70%of India's machine tools are produced in Peenya in Bangalore
and therefore, there is close collaboration with industry for the conduct of this course
Culinary Operations: Catering operations have exhibited a phenomenal growth over the last few years
and are a significant contributor to economic growth. They employ millions of people who are driven by
passion, creativity and determination. The culinary operations course integrates theoretical, practical
and innovative aspects of food production. Fundamental concepts that progress to advanced techniques
in Food Production operations with emphasis on hygiene, nutrition, work ethics and other ancillary
elements will contribute to the overall career growth of the individual, both as a professional chef and as
an entrepreneur.
Product Design & Modelling: Indian Engineering and Design sector has witnessed a combined growth
rate of about 15 percent touching US$ 26.4 billion over the last year driven by increased national and
global demand for its produce. Many local and international firms have set up R&D and Design centers in
India to develop innovative products and offerings. This course provides the prospective students with a
strong foundation of the art of creating scaled models and prototypes of the concepts envisioned by
prestigious R&D and Design centers in India and abroad.
Garment Manufacturing & Quality Control: The textile industry contributes about 14 percent to
industrial production and four percent to the gross domestic product (GDP). It is second largest industry
in the country in terms of employment generation and world's second-largest producer of textiles and
garments. The industry requires more sewing machine operators and quality controllers. About 30% of
the readymade garments of the country are manufactured in Bangalore. Many of the sewing operator
professionals have become entrepreneurs to enjoy their career and flexi lifestyle. There is tremendous
potential for professionals in sewing operation and quality control, as the market is evergreen, growing
and developing at a fast pace.
Office Administration: The manufacturing and service sector contribute to about 84% of the GDP, which
grew at over 7% and is poised to be one of the largest economies of the world. This growth spurt demands
multiple offices across the country. Needless to say, this entails for a steady supply of efficient and
effective office administrators. B.voc in Office administration is a set of daily activities that include
secretarial services, personal assistance, co-ordination between various functional departments, front
office administration, files and records maintenance, logistics, liaising with external agencies and
coordinating commercial activities within an organization. Training in management, computer
applications, expert use of the internet, and life skills will enhance the effectiveness of a good office
administrator.
Retail Marketing: The size of the India Retail sector, spanning diverse categories across food and non-
food, is estimated to be in excess of 400 billion USD and growing at a healthy pace of more than 15 % per
annum. Regardless of size and structure, all retail organizations are required to engage in a gamut of retail
operations and retail merchandising, retail operations, Retail Marketing and Sales, retail information
technology and systems - all of which require well-trained retail professionals.
Banking & Insurance: The Indian banking sector's assets reached US$ 1.8 trillion in FY15 from US$ 1.3
trillion in FY10. Rising incomes are expected to enhance the need for banking services in rural areas and
therefore drive the growth of the sector; programmes like MNREGA have helped in increasing rural
income aided by the recent Jan Dhan Yojana. The Indian life insurance industry is estimated to grow at a
compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1 per cent, and reach US$ 111.9 billion in 2015 from US$
66.5 billion in 2011, according to a report by BRIC data. This would make India the third-largest market for
life insurance in the world by 2015. The vocational Programme will integrate theoretical, practical and
innovative aspects of Banking and Insurance operations. The Programme is designed to introduce
fundamental concepts and simulate the operations of banking and Insurance.
150
Accounting & Logistics: To support the rapidly growing industrial sector, logistics as well as accounting
professionals will be critical to enhance their productivity. India is expected to witness unprecedented
growth in the logistics sector to provide end-to-end logistic solutions from manufacturers of goods to the
consumer through organized retailers. As a concomitant role, regardless of size and scale all
organizations are required to keep track of finances, budgets, transactions and maintain all statutory
requirements of accounting records, all of which require accountants. The integration of technology to
both accounting and logistics will boost economic growth. Job opportunities exist in warehousing, cold
storage, shipping and ports, freight forwarding and transportation, logistics solutions and supply chain
management companies besides the manufacturing and retailing sectors. The B.Voc is expected to meet
these requirements
Photography & Visual Effects: There is a wide world of photography. People enjoy photography and are
thinking of it as a career, there are actually many different directions one can choose from. One can begin
by creating a resume and portfolio of your work and can be done with proper qualifications for the job.
Video editors use digital editing software to piece raw footage into a cohesive video story. Much of the
editing direction is provided by the director or producer overseeing the project. Video editors also make
sure that audio files match the speech appearing on screen. A video editor spends large amounts of time
in front of several monitors in a closed office environment. The B.Voc provides the requisite training for
various levels of photography and visual effects.
Home Care & Nursing Assistance: India faces an acute shortage of nursing staff with an estimated deficit
of 2 million. In the public sector alone, an additional 140,000 staff nurses are required. Needless to say,
this gets more acute when the patient is recovering at home. With most families, especially in the urban
setting, being nuclear and both partners working, having a small child, or an elderly parent or a relative
recuperating from an illness, either short term or long term calls for a care giver. While the opportunity
for employment for home care is tremendous, an unexplored area is the potential for these graduates to
work as nursing assistants to help tide over the paucity of quality nursing care, a need both in India as well
as the rest of the world. Therefore, the B.Voc degree, addresses this niche area of training for home care
and nursing assistance.
Dental Hospital Assistance: Dental assistants are an important part of the dental health care team and
increase the efficiency of the entire dental health care delivery system. In addition, training on counseling
is seen as an invaluable adjunct tool in the education system, across the community. The education could
be in a clinic, a primary health centre, secondary and tertiary care hospitals and schools. Assistance in a
laboratory is a skill that is valuable both in a lab as well as hospital. It saves both time and effort involved in
using lab support for simple lab procedures. The B.Voc training imparted above happens in a
multidisciplinary environment, delivered effectively through an internship programme.
Post Graduate Certificate in Professional Practice- Dentistry
Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design: Keeping in line with the growing trend of personal aesthetics,
dentistry too has fulfilled the need for a beautiful and healthy smile. As more and more people are
focused on a beautiful smile, demand for dental services to enable this has also been set in motion. In
response, the global dental devices market is slated to reach a whopping $12.9 billion by 2016. Hence the
need of the day is to train graduates and orient them to meet the esthetic trends of society.
Oral Implantology: Globally, edentulism compromises quality of life by reducing masticatory efficiency
and thereby the nutrient value of food consumed. Treatment methodologies to treat edentulism have
evolved over the years with near predictable results. A student of Oral implantology will be exposed to a
wide variety of cases, due to, advanced training facilities including the Advanced Learning Centre and
location and attachment to the 1400 bed hospitals. As rehabilitation of the missing tooth forms a major
portion of private practice, effective training in current and advanced rehabilitative methods is
essential.

What our Alumni and Visitors Say?
It was a great experience to pursue the course at MSRSAS. The course content as well as the different
approach of evaluation made the course challenging. Unlike traditional method of examinations which
are only theory based and does not really test the practical knowledge, the assignments for the modules
were really challenging and really test the understanding of the concepts.
The entire course has laid in me a strong foundation of concepts in various areas of computers and has
stimulated my way of approaching a problem and finding the solution to it. The course has also enhanced
my discipline and conviction to learn after a long 7 year gap. I am very satisfied with he entire course and I
thank MSRSAS and Coventry for giving me this opportunity to learn and strengthen my knowledge.
Anupama Anand (CSN PT2010)
My Master's program from MSRSAS has broadened my knowledge and opened the horizon in
engineering and management to guide and lead an organization with confidence and zeal.
I have attached my contribution to Volvo Buses India from my learning's taken from MS Ramaiah School
of Advanced Studies. The uniqueness about my project which I have taken has given a reduction of 54% in
process time reduction which is unique by any industrial standard in manufacturing. In other words
productivity improvement can go up to a maximum of 100% since the production can be doubled.
Generally productivity improvements are between 10% to 15%.
Cyril G. Xavier (EMM PT 2010), Chief Operating Officer, Spheros Motherson Thermal Systems
Limited, Noida, India
To complete a three year degree, while working full time is no easy feat. There will be deadlines, to meet
at work, and after a very taxing working week, studying during the weekend, is a tough choice. However,
while I started my Masters in Computer Science and Networking at MSRSAS, I found the topics
interesting.
Working on the assignments and the final year project, was intellectually challenging, and it changed
my outlook towards studying.
The facilities provided by MSRAS were always top notch. Studying and attending lectures were a pleasure
due to the ambience in the study rooms. The course structure, contents and subjects which are part of
Computer Science and Networking where well etched to my needs and my current working experience.
Attending this course has immensely helped me better my day to day work.
Labs and testing are the make or break part of any curriculum. The supportive lab faculties and state of
the art labs made studying more pleasurable, as there is no better way to learn than to get hands-on
experience. For a part time student like me, MSRSAS was a great opportunity to complete my dream of
getting a Master's Degree. Thank You MSRSAS!
Mumshad Muhammed (CSN PT10), EMC2
Very good initiative by MSRSAS and a good form of industry & academic interaction. Event was really

A visit full of imaginative training and educational methods for practical engineers. I am impressed with
the range and depth of studies undertaken. The model used for training must have greater applicability
throughout engineering training.
