The NAAC inspection team while  interacting  with the departmental heads, were observed to be more keen on knowing the Research & Development outcome in their respective departments and how much training and skill development initiatives are taken by their individual departments.The MoU’s between the Departments and Industries were also sought by them.

They laid emphasis also on finding out data on the placement of students in industries and if the efforts were undertaken or not in all seriousness or not. The HoDs were also quizzed over the Curriculum and the manner of management of the time-tables. Library and Laborotories upkeep was also on the agenda of the inspection  team.

Another important aspect  that came up during the  inspection was the strength of student in every class against the sanctioned number of seats. They wanted to know, if the departments are having the required number of students or not. If not, what initiatives have the departments taken to overcome this deficit.

The NAAC team also inquired about the approved faculties in the department. They probed if the departments are having the required number of faculty as per the UGC norms.

Problems are there, but focus your on studies said NAAC team to hostelites

The team investigated the conditions of the Hostels. They also heard the problems from the students. However, some of the NAAC team members said to the hostelites that they too have lived in hostels when they were students and that problems would be there, but one should focus on their studies.
