Our department believes that every student should be focused and motivated to succeed. We encourage students in building personalities and careers with a realistic roadmap that guides every student towards a victorious professional career.
We provide a strong focus on experimental learning with the help of latest tools and techniques using case studies, projects, classroom exercises etc. Seminars and presentations are given by students, which help them in developing their skills in effective expression and eliminating the fear of public speaking that makes them stand out of the crowd in terms of ideology, confidence and portraying their views.
Practical sessions are an intrinsic part of any professional course. It’s mandatory for all Students to undertake practical labs, wherever required so that they not only know the theoretical concepts but also can use their learning in order to implement and develop individual software projects.
Every student is required to submit his work, including assignment, Files etc. For evaluation purpose, we conduct two sessional exams and one pre-university exam. In order to make students up to date, we have included an extra course STEP (Student Transformation and Enhancement Program) where we focus on overall development of Students which include – Communication and technical skills as well as soft skills.
In order to provide students’ with an exceptional amount of knowledge other than course syllabus, our faculties have included 10% extra syllabus in each and every course.
We have also included some Value Added Courses in every semester for the technical betterment of the students in the college curriculum. The VAC courses help students to develop some technical skills which serve as a good asset to the students Curriculum Vitae as well as for their future in the IT Industry or for their further studies.
In order to provide overall development of students, our department has conducted “Technotsav 2K17” event where students have developed and presented individual projects in trending technologies with a good future scope. These projects are designed with good efforts under the knowledgeable guidance of our proficient faculty members.
All students don’t have same learning capability so in order to focus on weak students’ tutorials, extra classes and re-examinations are conducted for them. One to one attention is paid to every weak scholar.
To include all the above features timetable is prepared in such a manner that theories and practical sessions are divided in the proper ratio. As it is said, “Healthy mind dwells in a healthy body”, so we have also provided SPORTS lecture once in a week so that student can develop both physically and mentally.
Our Department actively involves the parents and guardians in the universal development of the students and considers that parents are an important contributor in the education process who is expected to pro-actively interact with the class coordinators to enlighten themselves of their ward’s progress. Such efforts by the students and parents give them the chance to develop their skills in original research by testing out theories and advancing their own ideas.
“To remain competitive and keep winning one always had to improve his/her skills”
Along with students we also focus on educating our staff and faculty member:- Faculty Development Programs are conducted and faculty members are encouraged to attain higher education so that they could supervise the upcoming researchers. “Actions speak louder than words” so was the initiative taken by our faculty members to be part of the Spoken Tutorial Project by IIT Bombay for MHRD, Government of India, aiming at programming languages, office tools, graphics and circuit design tools via. Audio/ video tutorials to learn and enhance their skills.
This Faculty Development Programs held at our college for the staff of Bachelor of Computer Application. The Spoken Tutorial project is the initiative to the ‘Talk to a Teacher’ activity of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (ICT), launched by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, Government of India, to popularize software development. It provides training sessions according to which online tests are held to test the skills of the learners.
