The Teaching Learning Process

We believe that the teaching-learning process is the most important aspect of an engineering college. We have designed several processes to make sure that our students get the best possible education and perform well in the university examinations.

• Small tutorial groups for giving more attention to the students.
• Special training on self-learning skills including making notes and examination skills.
• Free tutorials for students facing special problems in any subject.
• Continuous feedback from the students about the performance of the instructors.
• Special preparation programs for the University examinations.
• Student Counselors to help the students solve their personal problems so that they can focus better on academics.
• Special seminars and workshops on self-help and personality development.

Anonymous Instructor Evaluations

Anonymous feedback is taken from students two times during a semester. These metrics are used for continual improvement of the teaching-learning process. The first feedback is for mid-course corrections to be made by the instructor. This feedback is confidential and given to the individual instructors. The results of the second feedback taken at the end of the semester will be published on the student notice boards in addition to going into the personal file of the instructor.

On the front side of the feedback form, the student will answer three questions:

• Do you have any POSITIVE comments about the Instructor?
• Do you have any NEGATIVE comments about the Instructor?
• Any other comments about the course (not related to the Instructor)

The student is also required to grade the instructor (grade between A to E) on 20 questions as shown below. The consolidated average scores are communicated to the instructor.
