AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering was established in

the year 1996 by Dr Shiv Nadar, Chairman & Chief Strategy Officer of HCL
Technologies, as an Unaided Engineering College, to provide quality technical
education of global standards with a view ‘to give back to the society’ that
nurtured him. The college, run on ‘not for profit’ basis and to benefit students
from all economic strata of the society, is located on a sprawling campus of 250
acres, 29 km from Adyar, on the Rajiv Gandhi Salai, the Cyber Corridor of
Chennai.
The college, approved by the Government of Tamil Nadu and All India
Council of Technical Education, is presently affiliated to the Anna University,
Chennai.
Progression of the College
Started with 68 students, 8 faculty and 3 B.E. degree programmes in

EEE, ECE and CSE, the college has now grown to offer 8 UG and 12 PG
programmes besides research programmes of MS and Ph.D., with about 4500
students and 275 faculty. The college was accredited by the National
Assessment and Accreditation Council as well, in the year 2011 with A Grade,
for a period of 5 years. All the programmes, eligible for accreditation, have
been accredited by NBA-AICTE earlier. The B.E./B.Tech. programs in EEE,
ECE, CSE, IT and Biomedical have been accredited by NBA, New Delhi, for a
period of 5 years with effect from 01.07.2015. Applications have been
submitted to NBA, New Delhi, for the accreditation of all other eligible
programs in B.E./B.Tech. and M.E. degree programs.
It has now established a name as ‘a much sought after college’ in

Tamil Nadu, due to good infrastructure, by way of quality faculty - 176 of
them Ph.Ds, modern teaching methods such as electronic learning,
computerized library, Wi-Fi enabled campus, 24 hour free internet connection
with a bandwidth of 310 Mbps, 86 excellent laboratories besides sports fields,
halls of residence and transport from remote corners of the city of Chennai to
the college.
The earning of First Rank by way of overall pass percentage of students

among 540 Engineering colleges affiliated to Anna University in the State, no
capitation fees, merit as the only criterion for admission even for Management
quota seats, successive University Ranks in many branches, providing large
number of scholarships – to the tune of about Rs. 4 crore a year, excellent
th
placement records, earning the best engineering college award from ISTE, 7
rank among all private engineering colleges in India as per the survey
done by EDU-Rand, “Asia’s Best Private Institute Award” for the year 2013
1
from World Consulting and Research Corporation processed by KPMG, high
rankings by National Magazines like Data Quest, Competition Success Review
and Outlook, has resulted in the seats getting filled up within a week from
opening of the Single Window Admissions of Anna University, the admitting
agency of the State.
Philanthropy the main stay
With a distinct care for the society at large and the less privileged in
particular, the college has been admitting 25 students from Government
Rural Schools of Tamil Nadu, who are all toppers in their respective schools
and offers their engineering education absolutely free under the Rural School
Toppers Scheme. These schools are located in remote areas, and the children
do not even have access to information about higher education, not to say about
professional education. We give them training for about 3 weeks, prior to the
opening date of the college, for them to come out of their shell of ‘rural
shyness’ and also coach them in Spoken English, so that they are at home with
their urban counterparts when the college commences for regular students.
In addition, 25 students who secure the top ten ranks in their Higher
Secondary programme of any Board and in any State in India are given
absolutely free education for all the four years under the Walk-in Walk-out
Scholarship Scheme. The best mind dwells in the best body. In an effort to
encourage sportsmanship in the youth, 25 students who have excelled in
sports, as evidenced by National Sports Accreditation bodies, are given
scholarships for all the four years, besides paying the cost of a coach, if they
need it. This has paid enough dividends and to cite a few, the all rounder
Mr. Ravichandran Ashwin, Indian Cricketer and Ms. Anaka Alankamani,
International Squash Player are the products of this college.
Besides the above, students who are excelling in studies are awarded
Merit scholarships while students who come from challenging economic or
socio economic back ground, but exhibit their academic acumen are given
Merit cum means scholarships to pursue their studies. To promote all round
development of the students, Classical Music Scholarships are also given for
students who are good performers of Classical Music in vocal as well as
instrumental. The Alumni also contribute towards the scholarships. CTS, the
computer giant in Tamil Nadu, Redington a global multi trading company and
several individuals have also joined the scheme to support a few students.
Social Responsibility
Members of the institute have been giving computer training to school

children in the schools surrounding the college, besides training the women
folk in the surrounding villages to establish information kiosks for providing
2
information regarding day to day activities. They have also trained Police
personnel to handle computers as well and have visited about 200 Government
Higher Secondary schools and addressed the students and their parents, of the
need for educating their wards, detailing the programmes, opportunities and
scholarships available for pursuing higher education, not necessarily
engineering education, just to tell that higher education is not beyond their
reach. Government schools in educationally backward areas are chosen as the
children who study there are normally from the lower strata of the society and
lack information on higher education. The programme was christened ‘Vidiyal’
meaning ‘dawn’ rightly to show the path to the bright side of life to them.
Research a way of life
After establishing a name as ‘a much sought after college’ in Tamil

Nadu, institute has moved towards a paradigm shift to Research &
Development and cooperation with reputed Research Laboratories,
Universities and Industries.
The departments of EEE, ECE, CSE, IT, Mechanical Engineering,

Chemical, Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, besides Mathematics,
Physics and Chemistry have been recognized by Anna University as
‘Research Centres’ for doing independent research leading to doctoral degree
under the guidance of as many as 110 Research supervisors.
A Research Advisory Council manned by renowned researchers and

administrators to direct the faculty to the futuristic domains of research, an
exclusive SSN Research Centre with as many as seven scientists exclusively
concentrating on Applied Research and Management providing seed money to
faculty and students as well, to promote Research in the college, creation of a
Centre for Crystal Growth, all have paved the way for earning projects from
several funding agencies and stimulating academic research. These have
resulted in the organization of several National and International Conferences,
besides producing a large number of research publications in Journals of repute.
Incidentally, it has also benefited the staff in acquiring their doctoral degrees.
Way Forward
Having performed reasonably well over a period of 19 years, the

management decided to examine the possibility of offering newer
programmes in the less explored avenues such as Mechatronics,
Bioinformatics, Genetic Engineering, Drug synthesis etc., to serve the mankind
better. Most of them though dwell in life sciences, need extensive use of
computers, in which the college has the expertise. Further, to innovate,
modernize the examination systems, introduce regulations to allow students to
migrate between disciplines and make collaboration with renowned
3
Universities anywhere in the world needed an independent body, and the
natural choice is to go in for a University status. We have already made an
application and it is yet to see the light of the day. The present application for
renewal of Accreditation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council is
a step in that direction.
The college is affiliated to Anna University, Chennai and hence, its roll
to modify the curricula and syllabi is rather remote. However, the inclusion of
some of its faculty in the various Boards of Study (BOC) and Academic
Council, have paved way to suggest some changes in them whenever the
University proposes to revise the syllabi and curricula. Otherwise, the faculty
has to meticulously follow the curriculum and syllabi prescribed by the
University. The following indicates briefly some of the steps taken to
implement the prescribed curriculum:
SWOC analysis of the Institution and Future plans:

Strengths:
• Well qualified faculty with diverse research interests.
• Sufficient number of externally funded research projects to trigger
interest in students.
• Meritorious students with a lot of interest in hands on approach.
• Well equipped labs and digitally enabled classrooms for conducive
learning environment.
• Academic collaboration with Institutes of repute, like Carnegie Mellon
University.
• Periodic research interventions like International and National
Conferences and workshops on varied topics of interest.
• Structured system for inducting students into research at an early stage.
• Culture of all-round development in Academics, Sports, Music and Arts.
Weakness:
• Unable to attract interaction and funding from industries.
• Difficulty in getting sufficient workable MoUs.
Opportunities:
• Good job market for SSN students.
• Students displaying fabrication skills as in manufacturing cars for
SUPRA and Go-Kart competitions.
• Interaction with CII , FICCI and IMTMA(Confederation of Indian
Industries, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry,
Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers Association) as member.
• Students winning several external awards in recognition for their
projects.
• Students being all-rounders in various areas including sports.
• Alumni who are Entrepreneurs.
4
Challenges:
• Many of the research done at SSN have the potential to be converted to
Industrial application (for example-friction stir processing, quenching
using nano materials, phase change materials for energy savings). The
challenge is to create visibility for our research among the industries.
• While placements have been good at 80-85%, the core company
placement is a small share of the lot. The challenge is to improve the
technical content of the students and make them more employable in
core companies.

2. CRITERIA –WISE INPUTS
CRITERION I : CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1 Curriculum Planning and Implementation

1.1.1 The Vision and Mission statements of the institution are:
Vision Statement
To be a world-class institution for technical education and scientific
research for the public good.
Mission Statement
SSN will strive continuously to:
Make a positive difference to the society through education
Empower students from all socio-economic strata
Be a centre of excellence in education in emerging technologies in
accordance with the industry and industrial trends
Build world class research capabilities on par with the finest in the world
and broaden students' horizons beyond classroom education
Nurture talents & entrepreneurship and enable all-round personality
development of students
The Vision and Mission statements are communicated to the students,

teachers, staff and other stakeholders by including the statements in the college
calendar and issuing them to every student and faculty at the start of the
academic year itself and displaying the statements at all places of congregation
such as, laboratories, library, conference halls, seminar rooms, canteen etc. It is
also indicated in the college website www.ssn.edu.in.
1.1.2 Action plan for the effective implementation of the curriculum
The faculty has been directed to propose the course plan in a sequential
and cogent manner and present it for the approval of the concerned HoD.
Every student, on admission, is advised to have a laptop to facilitate the
viewing of various information relating to the college in the intranet, wherein
circulars from the college/teacher/his own class mates might want the students
to know, have been uploaded. After scrutiny of the course plan by the HoD, the
teacher prepares his pre-class material, and uploads it in the intranet. The
students can see it before coming to the class, at their own pace and location, so
that they will be coming to the class with some basic knowledge of the portion
of the course that is to be taught in the class. The teacher will elaborate the
topic through a regular lecture, sometimes through a power point presentation,
or by a video and also by chalk and talk, so that the student grasps the
fundamentals of the course, without much difficulty.
15
1.1.3 Support the teacher receives from the college for effective
translation of curriculum to class
Students being the consumers, the college is following a student centric

method of teaching. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled, so that any transport
of information can be done through intranet/ internet. Every teacher is provided
with a desktop/laptop for his official use and is permitted to use the web for any
of the academic purpose. The students have access to the internet, as and when
and also from a location of his choice e.g. hostel room or home as the case may
be. All the classrooms are equipped with laptop, LCD projector and screen
besides the conventional blackboards. The teacher having already indicated his
teaching plan in the Intranet will explain the salient features of the lesson and
proceed to explain them in detail. He/she may even show videos or photos he
might have collected from the web. Expenditure, if any incurred by the teacher,
in this regard will be reimbursed.
1.1.4 Initiatives by the institution for the effective curriculum delivery
Just before the end of a semester, the faculty members of a

department meet under the chairmanship of the HoD, and decide on allocation
of faculty for handling the different courses of the curriculum for the following
semester, taking into consideration, the teacher’s specialization, his
commitments with particular reference to research etc. viz. the faculty on the
verge of submission of his Ph.D. thesis, a lady staff member who is in the
family way, a staff member who is likely to travel overseas for a conference, a
faculty being a key person to organize a conference etc., his work load may be
reduced. Having decided on the faculty, the faculty will start planning for the
teaching of the course in the following semester.
On a monthly basis, the HoD reviews the students’ attendance, and the
portion of the syllabus that the teacher has already taught. In case of a course,
which is common to several classes, a course coordinator discusses with the
individual teachers in a meeting convened during the beginning of the
semester, decides on the pace and cogency of delivery of the course so that the
course proceeds at a uniform pace and in an orderly manner in all sections. A
class committee is formed in the beginning of the year, comprising, at least five
students – one bright student, one average and one below average from the
class, one hostel student and one day-scholar, ensuring a proper blend of
gender, as student members, the course coordinators, individual teachers
teaching the various courses to the particular class as members and a senior
professor, who is not handling any course to that particular class, as Chairman.
This class committee meets atleast thrice a semester. The first meeting will
normally be about the Regulations, and the approximate schedule for the cycle
tests. Students are free to voice their academic grievances which will be
addressed to for any mid stream correction in the course delivery. The teachers
16
are also free to express their opinion on the general decorum of or the
prevalence of absenteeism in some specific cases etc. to the student members,
so that they could convey them to their classmates. The Principal is provided
with copy of the minutes of the class committee meetings for further action.
1.1.5 Interaction with research bodies and industry to improve operation

of the curriculum
The interaction with the research bodies and Industry happens through
guest lectures, industrial visits, tours and internships during vacation and while
doing project work, if the student chooses to do his project in that organisation
in the final year. Guest lecturers from the industry and research laboratories
periodically visit the college, to give inputs about the current trends in the
industry. During the conferences that the departments organise, there is always
a confluence of industrialists and scientists from reputed research organizations.
The college makes it a point to request them to address the students, so that they
will be aware of the current status of their domains of choice. These will be
summarized at the end of the semester and if need be, will be discussed in the
department, collated and put forward to the faculty who are members of the
specific Board of studies, for necessary follow up action for incorporation in the
curriculum, after getting the approval from the University. This is usually a
semester long process.
1.1.6 Contribution of the institution in the development of the curriculum

Being an affiliated college, the curriculum is framed by the affiliating
University and the role played by the faculty of the college is minimal.
However, some senior faculty of the college are members of the Boards of
Studies (BOS) of the various Faculty and also Academic council of the
University. They collect information from the Industrialists, Research
Scientists and Alumni, whenever they happen to visit the campus, collate them
and make suitable recommendations to the BOS for incorporation/modification
in the curriculum.
1.1.7 Independent development of the curriculum by any faculty

Some times, a teacher might feel that a special topic must be included in
the curriculum to facilitate employability of the student. This may be due to his
own personal research or from interactions with industry. In such cases, he can
frame a syllabus and indicate the same to the BOS through the Principal that he
is willing to teach such a course. This is considered by the respective Boards of
the University and can be offered by the faculty as ‘a directed study’.
1.1.8 Ensuring that the stated objectives are achieved

The essential objectives of an engineering education are that after
completion of the programme a student should be strong in his analytical skills,
17
capable of expressing himself in a manner that could be properly understood by
the listener, willing to work as a team and at the same time, capable of leading
as well, must be humane, strong in his ethics and above all willing to be a
lifelong learner.
This is ensured from the student feedback during the class committee
meetings, the examination results and also during the placement interviews.
During these events, they express that they are comfortable with the method of
delivery of classroom lectures, during the seminars when they express freely
their views, interviewers of companies wherein they assess the students attitude
more than the subject proper. During annual Alumni meeting, we often hear
from them that they (the alumni) realize the importance of what they have
learnt, at the college, only when they are in the field. It is heartening to know
that our academic activities are really fructifying from the above observations.
1.2 Academic Flexibility

1.2.1 Skill Development Courses offered by the Institute
The students are given adequate training in the courses prescribed by the
curricula to earn their degree. In addition, the following value added
programmes are offered:
i. Foreign language courses in German, French, Spanish and
Japanese
ii. Personality Development Programmes
iii. Training in Communication skills resulting in BEC I, BEC II
certificates of British Council
iv. Special training programmes in C++, JAVA
1.2.2 Offer of twinning programmes
As the college is affiliated to Anna University twinning programmes are

not offered. As none of the programmes are truly interdisciplinary cross
migration from one programme to the other is also prohibited by the University.
1.2.3. Institutional provisions for enrichment of the syllabi
The Regulations and Curricula being fixed by the affiliating University,

the only flexibility available for enrichment is through a wide range of electives
offered by the college. These electives are sometimes common to many
branches, viz. Environmental Science, Professional Ethics, and Engineering
Economics. The undergraduate programmes will have to be, to some extent,
generalistic, for, we do not know the job, the student will be landing after
graduation. However, some courses are offered in an effort to provide
additional inputs to the students, so that they have the built in capacity for self
18
study and feel at home when they join an industry. For example, special short
term courses like Wind Energy by EEE department, Advanced Imaging
Techniques by ECE department and Fundamentals of Accountancy by the
School of Management are offered, as non-credit courses, for students who
desire to learn them.
1.2.4 Self financed programmes
The college being an unaided college, all the programmes offered by the
college is self financed. However, when special programmes for the
enrichment of the students are offered, they will be charged to meet the cost of
the external trainers engaged for the said purpose, e.g. Japanese and German
Language programmes and Personality Development Programmes.
1.2.5 & 1.2.6 Additional skill oriented programmes and Combining

Conventional & Distance Mode Programmes
The University prohibits conduct of such programmes.
1.3 Curriculum Development

1.3.1 Supplementing University’s Curriculum
One of the goals of the institution is to make students ready for higher
studies, employable and if possible train them to be entrepreneurs. In this
direction only, the Foreign Language courses, Communication skill
development courses are conducted. In addition, we train them in the traits to
become an entrepreneur by conducting a one day programme with participation
by industrialists, bankers, lawyers and industrial licensing authorities, so that
atleast a few will shape themselves as entrepreneurs.
1.3.2 Efforts made by the institution to enrich and organize the

curriculum to enhance the experiences of the students
The college having been affiliated to Anna University, the curriculum is

designed by the University. However, based on the suggestions from industry,
students and faculty a few courses can be included in the curriculum, such as
‘Mathematical modeling’, ‘Fibre reinforced plastics’, ‘Regional Language Key
boards’ etc. As these are the prerogatives of the University we suggest them to
the appropriate Board of studies, through our faculty who are also member of
the Board thus, enhancing the experience of students.
We try to give our students exposure to such courses either through

guest lectures or by encouraging them to refer library resources such as books
and videos on the topics.
19
1.3.3 Efforts for cross cutting issues such as Gender, Climate Change,
Environmental education, Human rights and use of ICT etc.
Man is an active limb of the community, and he cannot live in isolation

without caring for the society he lives in. A Model United Nation (MUN) club
is available in the campus, in which students volunteer to discuss about global
issues such as Terrorism, Racial Discrimination, Gender Bias, Global Warming,
Human Rights, Capital Punishment etc. Environmental study is already a
course in most of the UG curriculum, based on the dictum of the Legal
Authorities of India.
Every student is advised to have a laptop. As a natural corollary,

everyone has one. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled, so that the students can
browse the net from any part of the campus at any time. A lot of information is
passed on to the students through their college email id aaa@ssn.edu.in . The
access to the intranet, which has the lesson plans and study materials posted by
the individual teachers, cycle test schedule, placement related information,
information regarding the impending visit of eminent people to the campus are
informed through the intranet. Hence, ICT is being used extensively in the
campus.
1.3.4 Programmes for the holistic development of the student
The skills needed for employment as well as communications have been

enunciated earlier. In addition, the college has National Service Scheme (NSS)
as well as Youth Red Cross (YRC) units available in the campus, so as to
acquaint the students of the needs and struggles of the rural people of India.
Every year, for about a week, the volunteers live with the villagers, helping
them with information such as how to get an LPG connection, a ration card, a
community certificate etc. besides arranging blood donation and health camps.
Students frequently visit one particular village for about three years, so that
they can physically see, all their efforts to make the village self sufficient,
clean, self empowered, illiteracy eradicated, minimal reliance on government
and above all with self respect, bearing fruits. It is gratifying to note that they
have developed an attachment with the village, as evidenced by their timely
help, as alumni, during recent ravaging floods.
1.3.5 Enrichment of the curriculum from feedbacks from stack holders
The feedback is collected from employers, who come for recruitment;

Alumni who come to share their experience in industry also indicate what the
employers are looking for, from the students. Occasionally, parents too give
information that certain things could have been taught to their ward. The
college collects these feedbacks, sort them domain wise and send to the
teachers who happen to be the members of the Boards of Studies of Anna
20
University. If possible, they will arrange to include the same in the curriculum,
thus, enriching the curriculum.
1.3.6 Monitoring the enrichment of the programme
The feedback from employers, the number of students who get placed
after all the training programmes, number of students who go overseas for
higher education, students who take up research as a career, feedback from the
alumni, all will indicate the results of the enrichment training given to students.
More and more companies come for placement and many of them recruit good
number of students, many of them having multiple placements. These facts go
well to indicate that our enrichment programmes have given good dividends.
1.4 Feedback system

1.4.1 Contribution of the college in the design of the curriculum
From among the faculty, there are faculty who are members of the
Boards of Study and Academic Council of Anna University. They collect
information from their colleagues in the college, from Industrialists, employers,
Alumni and scientists, when they visit the college, and these are discussed
among the faculty and the outcome of the discussions are put forward to the
Boards for adoption in future years. As the number of colleges affiliated to
Anna University is considerably large, the adoption of suggestions by the
colleges for modifications to the curriculum cannot be but minimal.
1.4.2 Feedback mechanism
There is a full-fledged feedback mechanism as far as students are

concerned. But it mostly relates to the teaching learning process. The
employers when they come for recruitment give only oral comments that a
certain item can be added to or deleted from the syllabus for having become
obsolete, or that students are not aware of a particular aspect in a course. Even
then, they are discussed in the faculty meeting and rectification to the extent
possible is made, and those which could be carried forward to the Boards of
Studies will be made.
1.4.3 New courses and their rationale
During the past four years, no new UG programmes have been added in
the college. The policy of the Management is to have more PG programmes
which will ultimately result in developing research scholars. Hence, a few PG
programmes such as Manufacturing Engineering, Energy Engineering, Medical
Electronics and Environmental Science and Technology have been added
during the last four years. Chennai is the hub for automotive, manufacturing
and electronics industries. All our energy sources are fast dwindling. Hence, a
21
new PG programme in energy was added. The planning without understanding
the impact of industries on the environment such as pollution of ground water,
draught, flooding, disappearance of bird species etc. warrant study of
environment and hence its inclusion.
CRITERION II TEACHING - LEARNING AND EVALUATION
2.1 Student Enrolment and Profile

2.1.1 & 2.1.2 Transparency, criteria in admissions, criteria adopted and
process of admission
The admission to UG programmes in Self Financing Engineering

colleges in Tamil Nadu is done in two parts, one relating to admission through
what is called a single window of admissions (SWA), by the Government and
the other, relating to that made by the Consortium of Self Financing Colleges
(CA). While the first part is for 65% of sanctioned strength, the second is for
35% of the sanctioned intake. In either case, the admission is through merit
only, merit being defined by the qualifying marks (Q) earned by the candidate
in his/her +2 examinations, following the reservations prescribed by the
Government of Tamil Nadu, both for SWA and CA. The qualifying mark Q =
[M + (P+C)/2], where M, P and C are percentage marks earned by the student
in his +2 examinations in the subjects Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry,
irrespective of the Board.
The admission to PG programmes is based on the marks earned by the

candidate in the Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test (TANCET) only,
irrespective of the programme. Even in this, 50 % of seats are admitted through
SWS, while the balance is admitted by the Consortium. At SSN College of
Engineering, all PG programmes are residential. No advertisement is given for
admissions, be it UG or PG, and if at all an advertisement is given, it is only to
indicate the programmes available in the college.
The popularity of the college can be easily gauged by the fact that there
are as many as 6500 applications for 273 Consortium seats in the First year of
the UG programme.
2.1.2

2.1.4 Mechanism in the institution to review the admission process and

student profiles
The institution does not have a role in the admission process.
2.1.5 Diversity and inclusiveness in admissions

The reservation policy of the Government of Tamil Nadu, takes care of
the marginalized sectors of the society, viz. SC/ST, OBC, Differently-abled and
Minority communities, there being no segregation or preference based on
gender.
Government higher secondary schools in rural areas are deplorably ill-

equipped both by buildings and teachers; with the result, the students, if at all
they are academically performing, they are doing so with their native
intelligence. And almost all of them are from economically challenged
families. In an effort to educate and uplift such students, the college admits 25
of them every year, and offers them all four year education absolutely gratis,
including hostel facilities. The change in the status of their families, when the
student graduates, is to be seen to be believed. This scheme has been very
much appreciated with no exception, by all the visitors to the campus.
2.1.6 The trend of admissions
The following Table gives the trend of admissions for various

programmes offered by the college during the past four years, where X is the
Number of applications received, Y the Sanctioned strength and Z the Demand
23
ratio X/Y. When the number of applications (especially for some PG
programmes) is less than the sanctioned strength, the demand ratio is not given.

2.2 Catering to Student diversity

2.2.1 Catering to the needs of differently-abled students
Corridors with ramps and rest rooms are provided with the differently-
abled in mind, so that to the extent possible, they will be at home in the campus
with their friends, without any inhibition.
2.2.2 Assessing the students needs in terms of knowledge and skills
A cursory glance of the Table given in the section 2.1.3 will indicate
that the average qualifying mark is at about 80%. Due to change of
environment and a change in the pattern of teaching at the college compared to
that prevailing in the schools, students find it difficult to grasp the subjects
24
atleast during the first semester. It is found that Language contributes heavily
to the heterogeneity of students admitted. Hence, all students are given a
diagnostic test in English at the very beginning, and depending on the outcome
of the test, special language classes are conducted for the non-performing
students to equip them with necessary language skills. This is done during the
First week of their admissions itself.
2.2.3 Strategies adopted by the institution to bridge the knowledge gap of

the enrolled students
In Tamil Nadu, five types of students are admitted to the Engineering

Programmes. They are:
i. Students coming from English medium Central Board schools
ii. Students coming from English medium State Board Schools
iii. Students coming from Tamil medium schools
iv. Students coming from Vocational stream
v. Lateral entry students
Of these, the first three categories of students, generally do well, except

for a portion of category (iii) for whom some training in language is all that is
needed, so that they can understand lectures delivered in English. Category (iv)
students do not study Physics and Chemistry during their earlier studies. Their
understanding of Mathematics is also only up to the level of 10th Std. Hence,
we give special coaching classes for these students in English, Mathematics,
Physics and Chemistry after college hours and during weekends. It is found
that over a period of a year, they, though may not be 100% in a level playing
field, are able to manage to communicate, understand the lectures and analyze
problems.
Lateral entry students are a class of students who are admitted to the
second year directly after completing their diploma from polytechnic colleges.
Though they are good in the subjects relating to the trade of their choice, their
communication skills and mathematical skills are very much wanting. Hence
special classes are arranged for them also in English and Mathematics.
2.2.4 How does the college sensitize its staff and students on issues such as
gender, inclusion, environment etc.?
The Institute is expressedly a co-ed institute and the term ‘student’ is

inclusive for all practical purposes. The gender ratio of both students and
faculty on campus is approximately 1:1.The institute promotes free interaction
in the class, lab etc. unbiased by gender and has several forums, where a lady is
a Chairman and she co-opts men as members. No distinction is made between
the genders except where it is warranted. During orientation of the students and
faculty, all newcomers are made aware of the institute’s gender and inclusion
25
policies. All facilities are provided in the campus to ensure that both the
genders are able to utilize all the infrastructure and opportunities for their
development. Sufficient grievance redressal measures are in place to ensure
upholding of the gender policies of the institute.
The institute strives to inculcate the importance of environment

preservation among the students. Students are encouraged to commute in the
campus only on bicycles to reduce the carbon footprints. 800 bicycles are
available on the campus to be used free of cost, by students. Parking stands are
installed outside all academic buildings, hostels and canteens. The campus has a
dedicated nursery from where the students and staff are encouraged to procure
plants for their personal use. Tree plantation drives are organized by the various
cells both inside the campus and in nearby villages.
2.2.5 How does the institution identify and respond to special educational
/ learning needs of advanced learners?
The institute strives to ensure that it is able to assist both slow learners
as well as learning needs of the advanced learners. To help advanced learners
they are advised to take part in seminars and conferences. They are encouraged
to write a paper and publish it in a technical journal under the guidance of
faculty members. They are also advised to crystallize their ideas into a project,
which might earn them funding from the institute. If it shapes into a viable
project for external funding, the student is encouraged to apply for the same.
Students, who are desirous of pursuing their studies in foreign universities, are
counseled regarding selection of Universities and colleges.
2.2.6 Drop outs among students and addressing them
It has been generally observed that the dropping out of students is in the
category of Vocational stream students only. Rarely other students tend to drop
out, and if at all they do, it is due to heavy back log of subjects. In an effort to
minimize this by giving personal attention, during the first year, 15 students are
attached to a faculty of Science & Humanities and later on (after first year) to a
faculty in their own department, who continues to be his/her mentor for the rest
of the programme. The mentors meet the students once a month and are
generally able to locate students who need some sort of counseling.
The college has a qualified psychiatrist, a student counselor, who

collects from the mentors the information of students who have large number of
arrears, who are emotionally unstable, weak and depressed. The counselor sits
with each student, one-to-one basis as frequently as needed, to advise him
suitably and follow him up as well. Hence, drop outs are insignificant
compared to the largeness of the student population.
26
2.3 Teaching - Learning Process
2.3.1 Organisation of Teaching, Learning and evaluation process
As per the university regulations, the college must have 90 working

days per semester. With this in mind, a calendar is prepared to give dates of
reopening, holidays and dates for other events such as Annual day, Sports Day,
Seminar Week, Graduation day etc. This is printed and given to the student at
the beginning of the academic year itself. In a typical 4 year engineering
programme, there are about 45 theory courses and 14 practical courses, besides
a Project in the final semester. Of these 47% are predominantly lecture based
and the rest 53% for which ICT is extensively used.
The examination comprises two components, the internal assessment

component for 20% and the end of semester examination accounting for the
rest.
For the Internal assessment, there are three cycles of tests spread evenly
over the entire period of the semester. The first unit test generally commences
after the first 15 working days of that semester. One cycle of tests lasts for 3
weeks and a week after the test in the last course, next cycle of test will start.
The time table for the cycle tests is given atleast a week ahead of
commencement of tests. The tests are conducted centrally, during the first two
periods of Mondays and Fridays. The end semester examinations are conducted
almost after the third cycle test.
2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching – learning

process?
IQAC is christened as Quality Management System in the college. It is

formed around shared pedagogical interests or practice and is centered on
faculty and Students as stakeholders. Focus is on productive Teaching and
Learning process through effective implementation of curriculum through
experiential learning. Ideally it represents multiple Teaching and learning
methods such as classroom teaching (Lectures), Assignments, Lab
Experiments, Case Studies, Research, Simulations Exercises and mini projects.
QMS identifies a focus of choice that may include active learning, Course Plan,
Lesson Plan, Beyond Syllabus exercises, assignment design, application of
course concepts, teaching large lecture courses, and integration of technology,
to name a few. The QMS then formulates a process through which it engages to
focus across the semester. This process may include, but is not limited to:
• Reviewing a sample of Course Plan, Lesson Plan, Assignments and/or
class exercises
• Auditing Continual Improvements
27
2.3.3 Student centric learning and exposure to Technology enhanced
learning
The teaching-learning process comprises three steps. The teacher

prepares the teaching plan and it is approved by the HoD. The teacher informs
the students the availability of this in the intranet, in addition to indicating the
location of other sources of information such as books for reference, CDs,
illustrations, flow diagrams etc.
In the class, the teacher gives explanations for the uploaded material and
gives additional information regarding the same and calls for any queries. In
the case of problem-oriented subjects, he takes the help of another teacher and
gives problems for students to solve in the class itself. This is particularly
helpful as in this case the instructions are given on a one to one basis, and the
students shed all the inhibitions they might have, thus ensuring student centric
learning.
The library has as many as 2500 CDs of live lectures of eminent

professors from institutions of repute viz. IITs, in addition to free access to
NPTEL lectures and this forms the self learning part of the teaching-learning
process.
2.3.4 How does the institution nurture critical thinking, creativity and
scientific temper among the students to transform them into life-
long learners and innovators?
Practical exposure to students is an important part of teaching to help

students nurture critical thinking, creativity and scientific temper. While the
library is open till late in the night, the laboratories of the institute are open to
desiring students, provided the lab is free. He is permitted to use the lab after
getting permission from the HoD concerned and the requirement is that atleast
one faculty/research scholar/M.E. student must be available in the lab, which
often happens. The student can experiment his ideas and if the results are
encouraging he continues his experiment, prepares a report and presents the
same to the teacher, who in turn advises him to continue the experiment or
suggests additional resources for further reading. If the student exhibits
‘creativity’ during a lab class, he is permitted to make a working model from
resources available, thus rendering lifelong learning a passion among students.
Students are encouraged to team up with faculty for submitting innovative
proposals to the management. External experts scrutinize the proposals and
students present their thoughts and arguments in favour of the project proposals.
Students are incentivized for their creativity and critical thinking by the
institution by providing seed funding for innovative projects. Most of these
projects lead to publications in refereed international journals.
28
2.3.5 What are the technologies and facilities available and used by the
faculty for effective teaching?
The institute is vigorously adopting the e-learning technology for at

least 90% of the courses taught. To facilitate the learning further, NPTEL
lecture material are available for browsing in the library for any student to
access. Further Anna University beams through ‘EDUSAT’ lectures on
specific topics. But the scheduling to match the time of relay, so that students
can listen to the lectures, has been the only impediment. A large number of
CDs are available in the library, on various subjects and as everyone has a lap
top, the student can browse through the contents at his own time and pace.
The entire campus is fully Wi-Fi enabled and with repository of teaching
materials on the internet ensuring that students can come prepared for the
classes and study at their own pace. Classrooms have projectors and laptops to
ensure teachers can use all electronic teaching aids at their disposal.
2.3.6 How are the students and faculty exposed to advanced level of
knowledge and skills (blended learning, expert lectures, seminars,
workshops etc.)?
Scientists from Research organizations, persons from industries and

academicians from other Universities are invited to deliver lectures to students
as well as faculty. Every year students organize an annual seminar on a suitable
topic inviting experts and also students from other colleges to give lectures,
demonstrations etc., which exposes the students to knowledge that is nascent.
Every department of the institute organizes a National level technical
symposium where students and experts from all over the country participate and
exchange ideas and concepts related to their fields.
2.3.7 Detail (process and the number of students benefitted) on the

academic, personal and psycho-social support and guidance services
provided to students?
The detailed teaching learning process is described elsewhere in this

report. A mentor is available for every 15 students, who monitors the students
through the entire programme and gives academic counseling where necessary.
A qualified student counselor is available in the campus, who identifies the
students needing psychological counseling, interacts with them, in camera and
guides him/her in the right path. Academic student mentors, help the counselor
in identifying the students, who need counseling. It has been observed that
counseling is found necessary for students, who are first generation learners,
students who could not express themselves in English, those with large number
of back logs and also occasionally for those who have relationship issues.
29
2.3.8 Innovative teaching approaches/methods adopted by the faculty and
the efforts made by the institution to encourage the faculty to adopt
new and innovative approaches.
Faculty extensively use technology and teaching aids along with

practical aspects to teach students. Course materials are prepared in advance
and shared with students on the intranet. This ensures students are well
prepared for the classes. Every classroom has projectors and laptops to ensure
faculty deliver their lectures in an innovative way. This ensures that classrooms
are a place to interact and exchange ideas rather than just for delivery of
lectures.
When innovative teaching was introduced in 2005, faculty had their

own reservations and it was adopted only for courses needing elaborate
sketching e.g. Engineering Graphics, Basic Mechanical Engineering,
Construction methods etc. But over a period of time, having learnt the nuances
of it, it is now adopted extensively except for subjects like Mathematics,
English etc. and there is good acknowledgement from students as well.
2.3.9 Library resources used to augment the teaching-learning process.
The college has an excellent library having as many as 88,300 volumes

of books, about 350 print version journals and almost 10000 journals which can
be browsed on line. Students are asked to refer to the library resources on a
topic of their choice and give a lecture to their own classmates, which dispel
their stage fear and gives them a chance to explore the avenues of knowledge
available in the library. Students can access the library resources even from the
comfort of their hostel rooms.
2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the

curriculum within the planned time frame and calendar?
A 90 -working day- semester is necessary priori for a student to appear

for the semester examinations conducted by the University. The curriculum
and the syllabi have been so framed that in about 45 to 55 periods one will be
able to complete the syllabus. Due to force of circumstances such as social
disturbances, flooding, elections etc. if the number of working days get
curtailed, special classes are conducted as the disturbances subside, on
Saturdays and curtailing even religious holidays.
2.3.11 Mentoring, counseling, class committee and monitoring teaching-

learning
As mentioned earlier, about 15 students are linked to one teacher, who is

teaching them and will be their mentor. During the First year, where students
30
are fresh from schools, have their own inhibitions. First year subjects are
mostly from Science and Humanities, hence faculty from those departments are
identified as mentors. The student can meet his/her mentor and pose his/her
adjustment and academic problems and seek redressal. From second year
onwards, students move to the departments of their choice and hence one of
their department faculty is nominated as a mentor, who will be mentoring them
during the next 3 years. The mentor keeps a complete record of the student’s
accomplishments, his attitudes, interests, weakness etc.
In the first year, students come from a protected environment at the

school, to the college, where their counterparts may or may not think and
behave as he has been accustomed to. They come across fast learners, slow
learners and sometimes they might even feel that they have landed in an
institution not to their liking and feel depressed. Such cases are referred to the
student counselor, who is a qualified psychiatrist, who talks to them
individually and counsels them as needed.
A class committee, comprising a cross-section of students – slow

learners, fast learners, girls, boys, sports-persons and the faculty teaching the
class, chaired by one senior professor from the department, is formed during the
beginning of the semester. This meets thrice a semester to discuss about the
teaching – learning process and to get a feel of difficulties encountered by the
students and faculty. During the First meeting, the discussions are about the
purpose of the class committee, University regulations, how the students can
express their difficulties and get them redressed. The second meeting is after
the first Unit test and the Third one will be after the second test. It has been
found to be very useful to both the faculty and students; to faculty about the
inattentiveness in the class and absenteeism of students and to students that the
teaching being fast, not audible etc. For example, the BME students, most of
who are Biology students, requested that special classes on computers can be
conducted for them. Students admitted under rural quota require that the
lectures could be with an admixture of Tamil and English etc.
Besides the students’ attendance, the teacher’s log book shows the pace
at which the course is conducted and the performance of students during the
semester. This is submitted to the Principal to keep him in the know of things.
Hence, the material uploaded on the Intranet, minutes of the class committee
meetings and the periodical entries in the teachers log book are good tools to
monitor the teaching-learning process.
2.4 Teacher Quality

2.4.1 Recruitment Process and quality of teachers
The teacher being the key person in a teaching institute, every care is
taken to recruit quality persons, devoted to teaching. The number of faculty
31
recruited is aimed so that the faculty strength is not less than 1/15 of the number
of students with a cadre ratio of 1:3:6 for UG Programmes. For PG, the number
of faculty must be at least 3 for an intake of 18 and the faculty student ratio
aimed is 1:12, with atleast one Ph.D. holder for each of the programmes. Care
is taken to ensure that all HoDs, Professors and Associate Professors are Ph.Ds.
The Faculty selection committee is as prescribed by the AICTE and

University viz. Principal (Chairman), with HoD, subject expert from IIT, a
nominee of AICTE and a nominee of Anna University as members. Though the
committee meets as and when it is necessary, normally the recruitment is done
during summer, so that the teacher is available during the beginning of the
academic year itself. The directive from the Management, to have as many
Ph.Ds as possible without sacrificing the aptitude to teach and at the same time
do research, is always borne in mind. The salary is paid as per Sixth Pay
Commission pay scales with dearness allowance as proposed by the
Government of Tamil Nadu; group medical insurance, special allowance for
Ph.D., incentives for earning external funded projects, Ph.D. guidance,
publications etc. and good working ambience make SSN an excellent institution
to work at. With these perquisites, the attrition rate is as low as one percent and
that too for medical and other personal reasons. The following Table gives a
glimpse into quality of faculty at present:

4 PG 4 - 4 - 35 52 95
Total 275
Temporary Teachers and Part-Time Teachers - NIL
All faculty are recruited against permanent vacancies and are regularised
after a probation period of one year.
2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/scarcity of
qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/modern areas
(emerging areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT,
Bioinformatics etc.)?
The institute has experienced such a situation, especially in the
Computer related divisions, when the IT industry was in boom. It was
overcome by announcing an additional compensation of about 25% for
Computer trained faculty. But currently it is not adopted.
The institution has in place policies to attract and retain highly qualified
faculty members. The institute offers above market rate compensation
32
alongwith other perks and benefits like management funding for projects,
research facilities, academic freedom, housing on campus and other welfare
schemes. This has ensured that faculty positions in the institute are much sought
after. This coupled with low attrition rates has ensured adequate qualified senior
faculty for all areas at all times.
2.4.3 Providing details on staff development programmes during the last

four years elaborate on the strategies adopted by the institution in
enhancing the teacher quality.
a) Nomination to staff development programmes
A teacher will have to be a lifelong learner; only then, he will be able to
teach the current trends to the students besides updating himself. To achieve
this, every opportunity is given to him to participate in Seminars, Conferences,
FDPs etc. organized by external agencies, university and other institutions.
Faculty development programmes and National and International conferences
are organized by the respective departments, to propagate the knowledge that is
nascent as presented in the following Table for the year 2014-15:

2.4.6 Faculty Evaluation by students and usage of the same

Every semester the student has to evaluate the teacher who has taught
him, with particular reference to his (the teacher’s) regularity, punctuality,
clarity, willingness to explain a topic all over again when warranted by the
students, usage of ECT, his unbiased evaluation of the students in the tests,
returning the scripts in time, subject preparedness, completing the syllabus and
maintaining cordial relationship with the students. These grades are
38
consolidated for several courses the teacher is offering and is a component of
the Faculty evaluation, the other components being the evaluation by the HoD
concerned and evaluation by the Principal and self evaluation. This is never
used to penalize a teacher but pitfalls if any, the teacher is called and asked in
camera to make good the deficiencies and the credit is always given a good
weightage while considering his career advancement, at the appropriate time.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 Student evaluation
The student evaluation comprises essentially of two components viz. (a)

continuous internal assessment and (b) end semester assessment by the
University. While the former is for a maximum of 20 marks, the balance is for
the latter. The total marks earned in the subject are converted in to letter
Grades S, A, B, C, D and E with each letter being given a Grade Point, G in
numbers.
n
∑ C GP
i =1
i i
Grade Point Average for the semester GPA = n
∑C
i =1
i
where Ci - is the Credits assigned to the course

GPi - is the point corresponding to the grade obtained for each course
n - is number of all courses successfully cleared during the particular
semester in the case of GPA.
The summation is made for the subjects in that particular semester.

When the summation is done for all the subjects of all the preceding semesters
and including the current semester, it is Cumulative Grade Point Average
CGPA. The student is classified to have passed in First Class with distinction,
First or Second class based on CGPA he has earned upto and including the
eighth semester for the UG and up to and including the Fourth semester for the
PG programmes.
The test schedule is given in advance and is conducted centrally similar

to the University examinations. For valid reasons, if a student is absent for a
test, he is given a retest at the discretion of the teacher. The teacher offering the
course uploads the test marks in the University web portal almost immediately
after evaluation of every test in his subject.
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the university that the
institution has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the
institution on its own?
39
The University constitutes a board of examiners separately for central
valuation of each category (for various sciences, humanities and for various
engineering and technology disciplines) consisting of a Chairman, Chief
Examiners and Examiners.
There is a provision in the University for revaluation of the answer scripts

as well as for students to obtain photocopies of the evaluated answer scripts. On
the recommendations of HoD and Principal, the answer scripts of University
examinations are revalued by the University. In case the student is not satisfied
with the outcome of the revaluation or the marks obtained by him, university
has a provision to go in for a CHALLENGE. However the marks obtained by
the student will be the best of all the above.
The institution continuously reviews the evaluation process done internally

and necessary changes as and when applicable/ required are implemented.
There are three tests which form part of internal evaluation for every subject.
The institute encourages the teachers to experiment with various evaluation
techniques to test learning of students.
In addition to the above, regular assignments are also part of the evaluation
process.
2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the

evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the
institution on its own?
For the effective implementation of the reforms advised by the

university, the college has an exclusive Examination Cell headed by a Professor
for overseeing the conduct of all the internal and external examinations.
Question papers are set by different faculty and handed over to the Examination
Cell for ensuring smooth conduct of the evaluation.
The results are analysed and reviewed by the HoD so as to plan and
execute corrective actions, if any. The above method ensures a fool proof
method of implementation of evaluation reforms.
2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment

approaches adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few
examples which have positively impacted the system.
The institution conducts tests every Monday and Friday for the students.
Tests are conducted after the completion of roughly 30% of the overall syllabus
of a particular course. Atleast three tests are conducted for any particular
course. The tests are so designed that students have to understand the concept
and apply it to problems to do well in the tests. This takes care of the formative
40
assessment of the students. The final examinations of the subjects and the
practical examinations are the summative assessments and they ensure that
students have understood the concepts and their applications. Funded projects
and mini–projects test their use of these concepts.
2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years
and weightages assigned for the overall development of students
The University prescribes 80% for end-of-semester examinations

conducted by the University and 20% for the CIA component, awarded by the
college. The internal assessment is the average of three tests conducted for a
course during the semester. The University specifies dates for uploading each
of the three test marks in its portal. The tests are conducted centrally, on the
same fashion as that of a University examination, thus ensuring rigour and
transparency, evaluated for a maximum of 100, giving equal weightage for all
the tests and uploaded in the portals of the University, on the dates specified.
The uploaded marks are available on the portal for the student to see thus,
eschewing any complaint. The University computes the internal assessment
marks. The behavioural aspects and independent learning are not quantified
and included in awarding the IA marks. However, they are taken into
consideration while selecting students as student office bearers for various
activities in the college such as Literary club, Music Club, Secretary to organize
student seminars etc. in the college.
2.5.6 Graduate Attributes (GA) of the college
The college expects the following Graduate Attributes from the students
graduating from the college:
a. To have good listening skills and ability to communicate
b. Consideration to the society at large
c. To have excellent engineering knowledge & skills
d. Willingness to use modern tools
e. Have strong analytical skills
f. To design and develop solutions
g. To have individual and team working skills
h. Willingness to be a lifelong learner
i. Strong work ethics
The number of students who gain admissions in Institutions of higher

learning both in India and overseas, the number of students who get placed in
reputed organizations and the count of students who venture as entrepreneurs
are indicators of the achievement of the GA.
41
2.5.7 Grievance Redressal mechanisms
There are two distinct grievances that could come from students, one
relating to the college and the other relating to the University. Grievances
relating to the college can be addressed to the teacher concerned, or the HoD
concerned or the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) of the college for
redressal. The GRC, generally meets once in a month, or earlier as situations
warrant, and try to address the student’s grievances. Grievances relating to the
University can be addressed to the Registrar or the Controller of Examinations
of the University, as the case may be, and routed through the Principal.
2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Learning outcomes of the college
Learning outcomes (LO) are statements that specify what learners will
know or be able to do as a result of a learning activity. Outcomes are usually
expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes. Through a series of lectures and
practical classes, he tends to absorb the knowledge that is ‘spread’ in the class.
The LOs can be achieved through the classroom teaching and supplemented by
tutorials and practicals.
It is expected that the teacher explains the topics in a lucid manner so

that the student absorbs them and will be using them in furthering the courses.
The verification of the course material by the HoD and the deliberations at the
class committee meetings ensure these aspects.
The CIA and ESA are assessments to check if outcomes are achieved.
Every subject has lesson plans and every lesson plan has the specific learning
outcome. Lesson plans are displayed on the college intranet. All lesson plans
are reviewed by the HoDs concerned.
Also in every class the faculty clearly explains the learning outcomes to the
students and in the class, evaluation is designed to test the same.
2.6.2 Monitoring the progress of the students and communicating them

during the progress of the course
The tutorial sessions are the best period when the teacher closely
interacts with the students and the student freely expresses his difficulties.
Many faculties decide on giving assignments in between the tests and the
performance of the students in them again indicates if the student has
assimilated what has been taught. The cycle test mark is yet another indication
of the performance of students. The college makes it a point to communicate to
the parents the marks the student has earned during the first and second cycle of
tests so that the parents are aware of the performance of their wards and
42
corrective actions can be initiated by them also. The average pass percentage of
the class in the end of semester examination is also an indication of the general
progress of the class as a whole. The average pass percentages of the batch that
passed out in 2014-15 as they passed through various semesters of B.E./B.Tech.
degree programmes are indicated in the Table below:
Sl. Average pass percentage of the class during the semester

8 Civil 90.3 85.5 85.7 88.6 82.9 88.6 97.1 98.6
2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the
institution structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended
learning outcomes?
As mentioned elsewhere the students at the institution are trained to be

inquisitive and curious and to master the concepts and their applications. The
classroom interactions encourage the presenting and arguing of their technical
ideas through project submissions and presentations. The weekly tests ensure
that applications and concepts are learned and worked upon. They also provide
feedback to the faculty and students.
2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to

enhance the social and economic relevance (student placements,
entrepreneurship, innovation and research aptitude developed
among students etc.) of the courses offered?
• Students are trained in communication skills, aptitude and soft skills
• Seminars are conducted right from first year onwards where students
are encouraged to present their ideas and improve their communication
• Students are sponsored to conduct national level technical symposiums.
Every department conducts one every year. This helps to develop
technical aptitude and organisational abilities.
• Students are encouraged to apply for internal funding for innovative
ideas and projects. This helps building their research aptitude. Students
publish in international refereed journals with the help of their faculty
members.
• Spirit of entrepreneurship is inculcated among the students by the
Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC). The EDC organises events
and talks by eminent entrepreneurs.
43
• Students participate in projects of social relevance through the Youth
Red Cross and Rotaract Clubs. Students take up projects such as
teaching underprivileged children in rural areas, awareness campaigns
etc.
2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyse data on student
performance and learning outcomes and use it for planning and
overcoming barriers of learning?
The data is collected from the entire faculty at the department level. The
head of the department and his office is responsible for collecting all the data
from the faculty, monitoring it and disseminating the relevant data for feedback
to the students, faculty and parents.
A hard copy sheet is maintained for all the courses which comprises of
various parameters and the values achieved corresponding to them. This is
signed by the faculty and HoD concerned, and shared periodically with parents.
The whole process is reviewed department wise fortnightly by the Principal and
the corrective steps taken, if required.
2.6.6 Monitoring the learning outcome
The second and third class committee meetings, invariably analyse and
discuss the performance of the students in the corresponding cycle tests. The
students are explained the pitfalls and deficiencies so that they can fare well in
the end semester examinations.
After the end semester examination results, the Principal convenes a

meeting of teachers and discusses with them, if there is any drastically low pass
percentage. The teachers give their explanations, such as lengthy questions, out
of the syllabus questions, ambiguous questions and the like. Principal in turn
makes suitable suggestions like (a) the teachers can make representation to the
University immediately after the examination in a particular course that had low
pass percentage so that remedial measures can be taken immediately and (b)
suggest ways and means so that they do not recur.
CRITERION III: RESEARCH, CONSULTANCY AND EXTENSION
3.1 Promotion of Research
3.1.1 University recognized Research Centres
The Anna University, after due verification of the qualifications and
research potentials of the Faculty, their publications in journals of repute,
Conferences conducted, Funded Projects and patents earned by them etc. have
recognized the said departments as Research Centres of Anna University for
doing independent research leading to M.S or Ph.D. degrees. Thus, the
44
Departments of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical & Electronics
Engineering, Electronics & Communications Engineering, Computer Science &
Engineering, Information Technology, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical

3.1.2 Research Advisory Council (RAC)

After the establishment of the college as a good teaching institute, there
has been a paradigm shift to achieve excellence in research. In this direction, to
advise the faculty on the nascent fields of research and also the modern
methodologies in current research etc a Research Advisory Council has been
established. The composition of the current RAC is given below:
1. Dr. Shiv Nadar, Chairman, HCL Technologies Ltd. Chairman

9. Dr. P. Ramasamy, Dean (Research), SSN College of Engg. Member
Secretary
The RAC meets once in a semester, and takes stock of the research
activities in the campus and approves the Research projects proposed by the
Faculty. In addition it provides advice about the newer avenues for research.
3.1.3 What are the measures taken by the institution to facilitate smooth
progress and implementation of research schemes/ projects?
Once the project is sanctioned and the first installment of the funding is
received the investigator is requested to give the periodicity at which he/she
will need the funds to proceed with his project. The investigator is free to
spend the amount within the conditions stipulated by the awarding agency and
the college will not interfere in the spending. The money will be released based
on his requisition without any delay. He/she is free to use the facilities
available in the campus without any restriction. If the project is part of a
doctoral programme, or warranting his time during working hours, some leeway
can always be given in the scheduled workload. Library can be freely used by
the investigator as frequently as needed. Also he can make use of the finance
department for timely submission of periodic reports as well as submitting
accounts without delay.

3.1.4 What are the efforts made by the institution in developing scientific
temper and research culture and aptitude among students?
Participation of students in Research
The University by statute requires the PG students to submit at least one
research publication in a refereed journal, before earning the degree. But the
college encourages research by even UG students. The second year students,
evincing interest in research, are tagged with a Ph.D. scholar, helping the
scholar in copying and arranging the research papers identified by the scholar,
in a chronological order, fabricating the equipment as directed, making
electronic circuits etc. under directions from the scholar. Further, if the UG
student publishes a paper in journals of repute, a cash incentive is given to
encourage him. In addition, it encourages them to earn their project funded by
the Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology, even if the amount
is meager. If a student presents a paper in an International conference, the
Registration Charge is reimbursed, depending on the merits of the case. When
duly recommended by the HoD, some internal funding is also given to certain
projects proposed by them. The internal funding given to students during 2014-
15 to nurture their research potential is given below department wise:

3.6 Extension Activities and Institutional Social Responsibilities
3.6.1 How does the institution promote institution-neighbourhood

community network and student engagement, contributing to good
citizenship, service orientation and holistic development of
students?
The institute encourages promotion of community service through

setting of various forums and cells to guide the students in these directions.
Some of the initiatives are Good Citizens Cell, Youth Red Cross, Rotaract
Clubs etc. The Institute also partners with industry bodies to conduct survey
and social works in the areas surrounding its campus. One such successful
initiative of the college is “Samudhay”, which enumerated the economic,
literacy, cultural and health needs of 16 surrounding villages.
3.6.2 What is the Institutional mechanism to track students’ involvement

in various social movements / activities which promote citizenship
roles?
Faculty members are assigned to all the bodies which encourage student
involvement in social activities. Faculty keep track of all the activities including
the objectives, finances, outcomes and initiatives and present them to the
management every month.
3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stakeholder perception on the

overall performance and quality of the institution?
The parent body of the institute commissions a survey by a reputed

independent market research agency to solicit the perception of the students,
parents and industry.
3.6.4 How does the institution plan and organize its extension and
outreach programmes? Providing the budgetary details for last four
years, list the major extension and outreach programmes and their
impact on the overall development of students.
Outreach Programmes
The college was selected to conduct a 10 day Computer Training
Programme for Police Personnel by the Government of Tamil Nadu which was
successfully done and appreciated by the trainees and their officers.
The Women Empowerment Cell is part of its parent organization at

Anna University. Through this, at the instance of the Govt. of Tamil Nadu, we
trained ladies from Kanchipuram district, numbering about 30, in fundamentals
of computers and gave them training to set up Information Kiosks, to disclose
141
the processes of day to day activities dealing with the government and public
bodies for their clients’ needs such as changing address in a ration card, Patta
transfer, RTI act, applying for women self help group etc. At least 10 of them
are earning their livelihood, by establishing Information Kiosks in their own
villages.
3.6.5 National Service Scheme (NSS) and Youth Red Cross (YRC)
There is a unit of NSS with one Programme Officer and 100 student
volunteers, another unit of YRC with about 100 student members with a
corresponding Coordinating Officer and a Women Empowerment Cell in the
college with a lady faculty member in-charge of it.
Efforts for acquisition of service attitude by students
The NSS wing of the college conducts programmes in villages around

the college to educate the villagers on hygiene & sanitation, literacy, women
and their status in the society – how to improve it, the employment
opportunities available for the youth of the village, protected water supply
system, ecology, girls education, awareness of AIDS etc. Students stay in the
village for about 10 days a year, live with the villagers, refurbish the school
buildings, give a patient hearing to the woes of villagers, discuss with them
possible remedies, arrange a veterinary clinic, arrange for health check up by
doctors etc. These have certainly inculcated in the minds of the participant
students, the dignity of labour and a desire to serve the have-nots.
In addition to these, the NSS and YRC wings jointly organize blood
donation camps and organ donation awareness camps in conjunction with the
NGOs in the city, the neighbouring Rotary clubs and hospitals. These have
been very successful that the hospitals and Rotary clubs are willing to associate
themselves with all such activities of the student community. Tobacco is the
villain for many human illnesses. The entire campus is tobacco free and a
pledge taken by 4000 students, with their palms painted with anti tobacco
slogans organized in the campus has gained entry in the Guinness book of
world records.
Students in most of the remote villages do not have any idea about the
possible scopes for higher studies after +2, and the various scholarship schemes
available for them for higher education. Even their parents think that higher
education, which will light up the lives of their wards in the future, is beyond
their reach. To dispel this, students conduct a programme called ‘Vidiyal’
(meaning dawn) in at least 27 Government Higher Secondary schools spread
over four backward districts, Vellore, Thiruvannamalai, Krishnagiri and
Dharmapuri of Tamil Nadu. This programme was very much appreciated by
the Collectors of the respective districts and the Directors of Higher Education.

Partnership with University for extension activities
The NSS unit of the college is part of the NSS wing of the affiliating
University viz. Anna University. The University periodically involves the
Programme Officers, of the colleges under its control, for discussion with them
the activities that could be initiated for the betterment of the society at large and
specifically that of the villages around.
In pursuance of the ‘Clean India’ campaign, students did an extensive

survey of about 800 households in about 6 villages to assess the requirements
particularly, the lack of toilets and lack of proper drinking water facilities.
Benefits reaped by the villages because of the activities
The NSS & YRC units of the college have repaired the school buildings
and provided protected water supply lines to the school from the village
overhead tank, arranged health camps for the school children, villagers and
ladies from the village separately so that they could continue their treatment in
the hospitals brought for the health camp. They choose to do them for three
continuous years in the same village so that the fruition of their efforts is
visible.
Benefits reaped by the institution by the outreach activities
The institute is yet to reap any benefit from the villages, except earning
the good will and getting some work force as employees at the college.
3.6.6 Give details on social surveys, research or extension work (if any)
undertaken by the college to ensure social justice and empower
students from under-privileged and vulnerable sections of society?
In pursuance of the ‘Clean India’ campaign, students did an extensive

survey of about 800 households in about 6 villages to assess the requirements
particularly, the lack of toilets and lack of proper drinking water facilities.
Please refer to Section 3.6.5.
3.6.7 Reflecting on objectives and expected outcomes of the extension

activities organized by the institution, comment on how they
complement students’ academic learning experience and specify the
values and skills inculcated.
The activities ensure that the students are aware about their
surroundings. They become sensitive to the needs of the societies and the
activities are designed to ensure that students are well rounded and aware of
143
their responsibilities towards the societies apart from just excelling in their own
careers.
By living with the villages, the students tend to know, the dignity of
labour, the difficulties faced by the villagers and these result shapes them to be
considerate with down trodden and trains him as a social worker or at a later
date head an NGO.
3.6.8 How does the institution ensure the involvement of the community
in its reach out activities and contribute to the community
development? Detail on the initiatives of the institution that
encourage community participation in its activities?
The activities being organized such as Flood Relief, Blood Donation

Camps, Clean India campaign etc are not possible without the involvement of
the community as a whole, be it the staff residing nearby or the residents of
villages. All these require a commitment from all the stakeholders. This
commitment is built up by first reaching out to the community through their
members working for our college.
3.6.9 Give details on the constructive relationships forged (if any) with
other institutions of the locality for working on various outreach
and extension activities.
The NSS unit of the college is part of the NSS wing of the affiliating
University viz. Anna University. The University periodically involves the
Programme Officers of the colleges under its control, discusses with them the
activities that could be initiated for the betterment of the society at large and
specifically that of the villages around.
3.6.10 Give details of awards received by the institution for extension

activities and/contributions to the social/community development
The college NSS Unit has received the Best NSS Programme Officer
Award, Best NSS Unit award and 11 volunteers received the Best NSS
Volunteer Award for three successive years and State Award for one year from
Anna University, Chennai.
3.7 The industry-institute collaborations
The MoUs with Industries, R & D organizations, NGOs and

Universities of repute are listed in 3.1.5. The college has been conducting
National and International conferences on various themes. These conferences
have several sessions chaired by eminent scientists besides academicians from
144

The Internet facility is available for all faculty and students in campus.
The college is about 35 km away the city; hence, it is for the individual, to have
the net connection on his/her own for Off-campus browsing.
4.3.3 What are the institutional plans and strategies for deploying and
upgrading the IT infrastructure and associated facilities?
The bandwidth has been progressively increased from 256 kbps to 310
Mbps over a period of 19 years as the need arises. For ease of access, the entire
campus has been made Wi-Fi enabled with about 450 Wi-Fi points spread over
the entire campus, including hostel rooms, library, labs and canteen thus
enabling the student to browse the web from a location convenient to them.
Printers at about 15 per machine are provided in the labs, Central and
155
departmental offices and hostels besides library. This is generally done at the
request of the faculty concerned or HoD or Librarian.
4.3.4 Provide details on the provision made in the annual budget for
procurement, upgradation, deployment and maintenance of the
computers and their accessories in the institution for the last four
years.
There is a group designated as Computer and Internet Software

COmmittee (CISCO), headed by a senior professor, with a mandate to
recommend the management the need for upgrading existing machines,
replacing the obsolete ones with new ones, maintenance of the networking
system, purchase of ancillaries such as switches, routers, printers etc. The
AMC is given only for those equipment, which could not be repaired and
maintained by the technical staff of the college. Based on the recommendations
of the committee, provision is made in the annual budget. The suggestions for
upgradation normally comes from the departments, discussed in the
departmental faculty meetings and then forwarded to CISCO group to take
them forward. In addition, heavy duty printers and associated servers etc., as
specified by the University for the conduct of examinations are also made
available. The provision made in the annual budget during the past four years
is given in the following Table:

4.3.5 How does the institution facilitate extensive use of ICT resources
including development and use of computer-aided teaching/learning
materials by its staff and students?
Most of the circulars to and replies from the faculty, unless mandated to
be in printed form, are by default through e-mail. The information about
academic schedule (other than that from university), transport, events
information, visits of dignitaries are all posted on the Web. The pre-class
material by the teacher, as indicated earlier, is uploaded in the intranet for
students to see and have an idea of what is to be done in the immediately
following class. A studious student makes a study of it and comes prepared to
the class and even posts his doubts to the teacher through intranet. In the class,
all classes are equipped with a laptop, a roof mounted LCD projector, white
screen facilitating the teacher to project teaching material he might have
156
brought or directly from the net, which the students can see or access them for
later; thus, making the class more interesting. The teacher also indicates
information on various resources available. Students, forming their own groups,
interchange ideas, get to know the schedule of events and other information
through the intranet. Thus, the ICT resources are extensively used in the
campus. However, it must be admitted that the advanced versions of cell
phones have usurped the use of the campus ICT facilities.
4.3.6 Elaborate giving suitable examples, on how the learning activities

and technologies deployed (access to on-line teaching-learning
resources, independent learning, ICT enabled classrooms/learning
spaces etc.) by the institution, place the student at the centre of
teaching-learning process and render the role of a facilitator for the
teacher.
A typical entry in the teacher’s log book submitted to the HoD is

indicated below. The uploaded learning material relating to the course “Linear
Integrated Circuits” for 3rd Semester, EEE and the course ‘Solar Energy Storage
Systems’ for Third semester M.E. Power Electronics & Drives is available at

4.3.7 Does the institute avail of the National Knowledge Network

connectivity directly or through the affiliating university? If so
what are the services availed of?
Anna University relays lectures of some topics of certain subjects,

generally found by student community to be tough, as interactive lectures
through EDUSAT, with the help of experts in the subjects. To the extent the
timetables permit, students assemble at a hall in the college, where it is
projected, and if they have any doubt, they clarify it, which the exponent will
answer on line for the benefit of all the viewing student community. The
relaying time and the college time table do not match very often. However,
students have attended one or two such lectures.
To obviate this difficulty of non synchronisation of the relay time and

the time of availability of student, the college has procured some lectures in the
form of CDs, and they are available at the library, which a desiring student can
view in the room meant for this purpose; alternatively, he can borrow the CD
from the library and view it in his laptop at his own place of convenience. As
many as 2000 such CDs are available in the library for students to use.

4.4.2 Institutional mechanism for maintenance and upkeep of the

infrastructure
There are specific personnel appointed for maintenance of infrastructure

by way of buildings, furniture and transport. These people, on a daily basis,
will report to the Head of Construction & Facilities (HoC & F) any breakages
and other maintenance required, and HoC & F will arrange to get them
rectified. The technical staff attached to the respective laboratories will be
servicing the equipment to the extent possible. When they become non
serviceable, they report the matter to the faculty in-charge of the laboratory and
he in turn refers the same to the HoD, who arranges to get them repaired. Due
to the large number of computers and networking, a Systems Administrator and
a Network administrator with their staff look after the maintenance of
computers and the networking. Any major fault is reported to the Professor in-
charge of CISCO, who will arrange to undertake the repairs.
4.4.3 Calibration of various equipment and instruments
This is left to the faculty in-charge of the respective laboratories, to

decide as to when the meters are to be calibrated and instruments serviced.
Calibration of one meter in a particular group is outsourced to a Standards
Organisation or its authorized agents. Using this calibrated meter as the
standard, the other meters are calibrated by the technicians in the laboratory.
The equipment are serviced annually by the local technical staff and if it is
beyond their capacity, they refer it to the HoD, who arranges for repairing them.
4.4.4 Maintenance of sensitive equipment, Power and Water supply
The power is supplied by the Electricity Board with a peak load of 1320
kVA, and it is augmented by eight diesel generators capable of giving a backup
power of 1580 kVA. The generators are maintained as and when the repair
occurs, on a call basis; the day-to-day maintenance is done by the technical staff
attached to the substation. There are about 120 UPS systems of various
capacities in the campus, for server rooms and the lab equipment needing
uninterrupted power supply. They are normally maintained by an AMC.
168
Water supply is from nine 7m diameter and three 15m diameter shallow
wells, water being pumped to the over head reservoir and the outflow to the
campus is by gravity. The drinking water is through 7 Nos. of 500 litres RO
plants for the hostels & canteen and 70 Nos. of 50 litres per hour RO plants for
the academic blocks, providing drinking water supply to the campus 24 x 7 at
various service points. There is a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), which
effectively treats the waste water. This treated water is used for maintaining the
green campus.

5.1 Student Mentoring and Support:
5.1.1 College Calendar
The college calendar, which is distributed to all faculty and students,

contains besides Vision and Mission of the college, information regarding first
and last working days of odd and even semesters, probable dates for cycle tests,
dates for prominent events, holidays, facilities available and hostel rules
(University regulations & rules are available in the University website).
5.1.2 Student scholarship schemes
SSN is known for its liberal scholarship schemes, that ensures ‘nobody
is deprived of quality Engineering education for want of funds’. A write up is
enclosed below:
General:
The institution offers attractive student scholarships to encourage merit
and to make education accessible to students of all economic strata. The
Institution has initiated a thriving tradition of about 500 scholarships extended
every year to meritorious and deserving students.
Types of scholarships:
There are seven types of scholarships:
a. Walk-in Walk-out Scholarships
b. Merit Scholarships
c. Merit cum Means Scholarships
d. Tuition fee waiver Scholarships
e. Sports Scholarships
f. Rural Scholarships and
h. PG Scholarships
Walk-in Walk-out Scholarships:

If any student earns any of the top ten ranks of any State or Central
Board of +2 or equivalent examinations and opts to study in this college, he/she
169
will be entitled to this scholarship. He can undergo all the four years of study
of the B.E./B.Tech. degree Programme absolutely free, including hostel
charges. The number of scholarships under this category is limited to 10.
Merit Scholarships:
These scholarships are awarded to meritorious students, based on their
academic performance at the qualifying examinations, for freshers and based on
their performance in the preceding two semester examinations for senior
students. This is tenable for the year for which it is awarded. This entails the
student of the full fee concession and Rs 15,000/- towards hostel charges/grant
towards living expenses, if he is a day-scholar, and an allowance of Rs 5,000/-
for books.
Merit cum means Scholarships:

The criteria for these scholarships are the academic performance and
demonstrated economic need of the student. This is also tenable for the year for
which it is awarded, and the quantum is the same as that of Merit Scholarships.
Waiver of Tuition fees:

This type of scholarship is awarded to make the scholarships available
for larger number of students. This defrays the entire tuition fee to be paid by
the student. This is further subdivided into Merit and Merit-cum-Means types.
This is also available only for the year for which it is awarded.
Sports Scholarships:
In an effort to encourage sports, Sports Scholarships are awarded to
students who excel in sports, having represented the State at the National level
games conducted by Accredited Boards. The scholarships, in addition to
meeting the academic and residential needs of the student, will cover the cost of
employing a coach as well. This is tenable for the entire period of study.
Rural Scholarships:
To support students from Government HSC schools located in rural
areas of Tamil Nadu, where the number of students opting for higher education
is dismally low, 25 scholarships are awarded to students who are toppers in the
+2 examinations of Rural Government Higher Secondary schools of Tamil
Nadu. The quantum of money is the same as that for the Walk-in Walk-out
Scholarships and is tenable for the entire 4 years of the programme.
PG Scholarships
To encourage meritorious students to pursue post graduate studies and
to promote research, scholarships are awarded to candidates with University
Ranks or GATE score of 90+ percentile and who have chosen this college for
their higher studies.
170
Others
In addition to the above, Scholarships are awarded by the Alumni of the
college and also by external philanthropists for students who excel in Specific
Games and also for Fine Arts like Classical Music as well.

5.1.3 What percentage of students receive financial assistance from State

Government, Central Government and other National agencies?
About 25% of students apply and get the State and Central Government
Scholarships under various scholarship schemes and the amount is directly
credited into their bank accounts.
5.1.4 Specific support services / facilities available for students

While the State and Central Governments take care of financially and
socially deprived students from SC/ST, OBC, the Management extends a
helping hand to economically weaker students, rural students, students who are
excelling in sports, Fine Arts etc as described in 5.1.2. by way of a large
number of scholarships.
Ramps and special toilets have been constructed for the students with
physical disabilities. A full-fledged doctor, a qualified nurse and a two bed
clinic, and a van meet the emergency medical needs of those living in the
campus. Chettinad Medical college Hospitals always extend a helping hand to
SSNites.
171
The institute though admits students under NRI and PIO quota as
permitted by the Government, it does not admit other over seas students.
Though the college as such is not conducting coaching classes for

competitive examinations, a group of students with the help of Alumni of SSN
do conduct such classes for GATE, TOEFL and TNPSC examinations on their
own. When they want class rooms, SSN provides them free of rent. Special
classes for the needy in English and Foreign languages are conducted. Special
coaching classes in the regular subjects are also conducted during evenings for
the benefit of rural, lateral entry and vocational stream students.
It is the policy of the Institution that good innovative ideas come from a
free mind. This is best achieved by making them participate in as many extra
curricular activities as the student desires. To facilitate this, we have several
clubs like elocution club, quiz club, music club and fine arts club in which
students eagerly participate irrespective of region, board, language, sex or
community.
Special classes are conducted for slow learners during the First and
second semesters, as mentioned earlier. During third semester, special classes
are conducted for lateral entry students, specifically in Mathematics and
English communication. During the first year, to facilitate Tamil medium
students, special classes are conducted, after college hours to remove the
inhibitions they might have, to attend classes conducted in English, irrespective
of the communal status.
A qualified psychiatrist student counsellor, available in the campus, freely

mingles with students to gain their confidence, identifies and mentors students
with depression, psychological problems and even gender related issues. A
team of faculty with a lady faculty as Chairperson is available, to deal with
cases of sexual harassment within the campus. It is happy to note that, so far,
there was no need for a meeting of that team, for good.
Each major department publishes a quarterly magazine, to high light the

activities of the departments. It also encourages the students to exhibit their
literary, scientific achievements and artistic talents.
5.1.5 Describe the efforts made by the institution to facilitate

entrepreneurial skills, among the students and the impact of the
efforts.
The institute has set up an Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) on
campus. EDC is purely a student run body and encourages entrepreneurial spirit
by organizing B Plan contests, events and talks by entrepreneurs.
172
The institute has also entered into an MoU with Ministry of MSME to set
up an incubation centre and provide funding opportunities to emerging
entrepreneurs in the MSME space
5.1.6 Enumerate the policies and strategies of the institution which

promote participation of students in extracurricular and co-
curricular activities such as sports, games, Quiz competitions, debate
and discussions, cultural activities, etc.
SSN offers good facilities for sports. There are gyms and playing areas
for various sports. Dedicated coaches at the sports centre help students fine tune
their games. Sports tournaments are organized and students participate in
tournaments in other states and cities. Sports uniforms are sponsored either by
management or other industry organizations.
Management funds students to conduct technical and cultural festivals.
Students are encouraged to participate in cultural fests in other colleges.
Additional academic support is reported earlier. University does not
permit flexibility in examinations except permitted withdrawals due to illness /

experts from industry from various fields. It also ensures that various external
agencies conduct classes on campus to train students on GRE/GMAT, GATE,
IAS, TNPS examinations etc. Officers from defense services address students.
Also, experts from foreign universities address the students on nuances of
studying abroad from time to time.
5.1.8 What type of counselling services are made available to the students
A qualified psychiatrist student counsellor, available in the campus,

freely mingles with students to gain their confidence, identifies and mentors
students with depression, psychological problems and even gender related
issues. A team of faculty is available, to deal with cases of sexual harassment
within the campus. It is happy to note that so far there was no need for a

5.1.9 Does the institution have a structured mechanism for career guidance
and placement of its students? If ‘yes’, detail on the services provided
to help students identify job opportunities and prepare themselves for

203
6.3 Faculty Empowerment Strategies
6.3.1 What are the efforts made by the institution to enhance the
professional development of its teaching and non teaching staff?
At the time of the starting the college, a good number of faculty were
raw graduates, and the Management took a wise decision to depute faculty to do
their Masters programme either through part time or if not feasible, through full
time. At a certain stage, everyone was an M.E. Then it thought of deputing
faculty for doing Ph.D. and now over 60% of the faculty are with Ph.D. More
than 110 faculty became research supervisors to guide the faculty who are yet
to acquire the doctoral degree.
Non-teaching staff are encouraged to acquire additional skills and

qualifications.
6.3.2 What are the strategies adopted by the institution for faculty
empowerment through training, retraining and motivating the
employees for the roles and responsibility they perform?
Faculty are encouraged to organize and attend national and international

conferences. The SSN Trust provides funds as seed money to the faculty for
their research activities. Study and recreational tours are organized for the
faculty periodically.
6.3.3 Provide details on the performance appraisal system of the staff to

evaluate and ensure that information on multiple activities is
appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal.
The Institute has arrived at a faculty appraisal methodology over a

period of time. It comprises, a self assessment based on the work load,
qualifications, pass percentage of the classes the incumbent has taught, research
publications etc. Another section of assessment is done by the HoD, mostly
relying on the faculty’s regularity, returning the test sheets in time, his research
activities, his attitude to work as a team etc. and a third component by the
Principal, counting mostly on his involvement in the development of the
Institute. Obviously different weightages are given to each aspect.
The form was discussed with the teaching faculty over many sittings,
and the finality was reached. The marks obtained, together with the credit
given by students through their feedback is considered during career
advancement evaluation. Any negative indication is brought to the notice of the
faculty, by the Principal, allowing him to mend himself. This is never used as a
tool for penalizing the faculty, unless it is of serous nature, affecting the
regulation of the institute.
204

Chapter VII INNOVATION AND BEST PRACTICES
7.1 Environment Consciousness

7.1.1 Does the institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and
facilities?
The institute has not conducted a Green Audit of its campus and
facilities, per se. Nevertheless, it is conscious of the need for keeping the
campus green and eco-friendly. The steps taken are: The virgin greenery of the
campus is maintained. To compensate for the loss of greenery due to the built
214
up area, extensive green coverage has been created. The sewage is treated with
a full fledged STP, and the treated water is extensively used to maintain the
lawn and watering the trees. Periodical maintenance is done to the STP, so that
it functions efficiently throughout the year without interruption.
The rain water is diverted through wide green shallow channels spread
over the entire campus which are connected to a pond located on the North East
end of the campus, thus ensuring the conservation of rainwater. The college is
about 5 km from the sea, and deep wells will result in saline water intrusion and
hence, all the sixteen wells spread over the entire campus are shallow, not more
than 10m deep. There is a network of well laid out lined channels, which,
during heavy rains, discharge the surface water in to the nallah there by
preventing flooding.
The bank of solar panels located in the open terrace, is essentially used
for research; yet, it is used to light partially the street lamps in the campus
during nights. A wind mill is on the cards for erection, near the EEE block.
The power position is rather bleak in the state; hence, we are left with no
alternative other than relying on the diesel power for the effective running of
the Institute. Perhaps, after commissioning of the second unit of IGCAR, the
reliance on the DG sets may decrease.
7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus
eco-friendly?
The college periodically de-silts the two lakes on the sides of the
campus, and annually cleans the feeder channels of the wild growth, thus
maintaining the water body. The extensive growth of trees in the campus is
ample proof of the intent of the Management to make the campus eco-friendly.
The college periodically issues instructions to switch off the lights, fans and AC
units when not in use, contributing to a certain extent for the conservation of
energy. Vamasundari Park, over an area of three acres in the midst of the
campus is a very good example for the attitude of the Institute to maintain the
green cover in the campus. Hazardous materials/chemicals are not used in any
of the laboratories. The e-waste is periodically segregated, collected and sent to
Thirupporur Panchayat. The Panchayat collects the e-wastes from software
companies, on payment basis and segregates and sent to some place for
reclamation.
7.2 Innovations
7.2.1 Innovations introduced during the last four years
Digital delivery of Courses

All classrooms are digitally enabled, with dedicated laptop, projector
and Wi-Fi connectivity. Most lectures are through power point presentations
uploaded in Intranet and available for students at any point in time.
215
Beyond Syllabus Learning
Beyond syllabus learning is encouraged through workshops,
conferences and guest lectures. On an average, each department conducts one
conference, five workshops and five guest lectures every year. Students get an
exposure to external world and industry activity through these interventions.
Research Orientation at UG level

The Institution has a system of calling for proposals from students,
evaluating them through external experts and then sanctioning funds for
projects, if worthwhile. For example, in 2015 August, 132 projects have been
sanctioned with a funding support of Rs.26 Lakh. This benefits 360 students
guided by 86 faculty. Such a support has helped in creating a conducive
atmosphere for research, leading to students publishing in International Journals
of repute.
Emphasis on Project Based Learning

Several external trainers are brought in to expose students to
Automotive and Robotics areas. This has resulted in our students fabricating
their own cars for competitions like SUPRA, BAJA etc., conducted by Society
of Automotive Engineers (SAE). As a highlight to all these achievements, the
Management has decided to start an Innovation Club, guided by Prof. Idichandy
of IIT Madras.
Facilitation of Leadership Development

Every year students are permitted to run a major cultural event called
“INSTINCTS” and department level technical Symposiums. This exposes the
students to event management and networking thereby, enabling Leadership
Development.

5. POST ACCREDITATION INITIATIVES

Early induction of students into research
The students who are expressive and exhibit some intuitive ideas are
selected based on their performance in the tests and other college activities,
irrespective of the domains. Such students are tagged on to one of the Ph.D.
scholars, essentially to assist him in the scholar’s research. He gets to know the
broad area in which the Ph.D. scholar is interested. The scholar gives an article
dealing with the fundamentals of the area in which he intends doing research.
The student is asked to write the same paper, in his own style, thus making him

understand the experimentation or circuitry or fabrication the author has done
and its limitations. The student is informed of the locations where further
information is available. The student gets to know the area in which he would
like to pursue, in case he is to do research. He might propose a project, with the
guidance of a teacher, and if found that it could be tried, the Trust would fund it
to the extent possible, thus moulding him to research. Quite a number of
projects are being funded by the Trust to encourage students to venture into
their innovative ideas.
Project based learning
There is a saying “Seeing is believing and doing betters it”. In

pursuance of this it is felt, a small project could be given to students while they
are in their Fourth semester itself, something in which they may be interested.
The student gives his ideas; faculty examines them and even if it is remotely
feasible, allows him to experiment, without worrying about the failure. He may
create a circuitry or programme to make, say, an unmanned level crossing safe,
make a machine to bowl the ball during net practice, what to do to maintain the
whiteness of the white board over a period of time and the like. He presents his
ideas to a set of juries and they may give some more suggestions, and they may
recommend it for funding by the Trust. They may or may not be successful in
their effort, but this helps them understand the sequence to be followed,
intricacies of events and introduces him to the challenges in the projects.
Incidentally it also prepares him to face a failure as well, upright. It has been
experimented in most of the departments for implementations, and we are still
in the evolving stage.
Research included in the QMS
There has been a paradigm shift to research from 2000 onwards. In

order to make it shape in an orderly fashion, it was also brought into the folds
of QMS from 2013. Hence, the publications, projects both internal and
externally funded, purchase of equipment for research, travel cost, and the
settling of accounts have been brought under the QMS.
