Page 37/125 20-10-2020 11:33:29

 Self Study Report of BALAJI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE

Balaji Institute of Technology & Science is affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University
Hyderabad. All examinations i.e., Internal & Final University Examinations are conducted under the
guidelines of the Controller of Examinations of the University.

1. Mechanism to deal with examination related grievances:

(i). University Level

Before Examination, grievances pertaining to application form & Hall ticket, late application form
filing, non receipt of admit card of examinations or wrong entries in the Hall ticket are
communicated to University Examination Section and get resolved at the earliest. College Exam
Branch staff help the student for filing the application form.
If there are any grievances regarding question papers of any subject during External Examinations,
College instantly reports to University Examination Section. Grievances regarding question paper
include questions asked out of syllabus, data given in question is insufficient, typing errors, etc.
Committee at University takes cognizance and resolves the grievance. For the grievances such as
wrongly added seat numbers and wrong subject roll list, the Chief Superintend of Examinations,
instantly gives them correct question papers. Roll lists are also corrected at the same time in
consultation with university.
For any grievances after the results are declared, students have to contact Examination Branch.
College Exam Branch In-charge addresses their issues. He sends an application to university for
revaluation and recounting of marks etc. If student is not satisfied by Revaluation/ Recounting,
student can request for Challenge Valuation (CV) which has to be applied along with relevant
Xerox copies of recounting/revaluation result to the University through the college principal.
College Examination Branch Staff (or) Principal will verify & will forward the Application to
JNTUH. Date will be notified to the student for CV. Then student need to go to JNTUH & should
attend the CV where paper will be evaluated in the presence of student. There will be no Challenge
Valuation for Lab Marks.

(ii). College Level:

Students appear for the improvement examination if he/she scores less marks and wants to improve
in the concerned subject.
The grievances of the students with reference to assessment are made clear by showing his/her
performance in the answer sheet.
In case of grievance, the answer sheet of such student is assessed by the faculty once again in the
presence of the student. If there are any corrections in the total of marks or assessment of answer
books as identified by students, they are immediately rectified by the faculty members.
If any student is not satisfied with the assessment and award of marks may approach the concerned
HoD who can intervene and seek opinion of another course Teacher.
The Institute follows open evaluation system where the student performance is displayed on the
notice board and the same is informed to the parents.
If a student is not able to appear for examination due to medical or any genuine reason, examination
is conducted for that particular student as per norms.

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are
evaluated by the institution

Response:

In Outcome Based Education, assessment is done through one or more than one processes, carried out by
the institution that identify, collect and prepare data to evaluate the achievement of program outcomes,
Program Specific Outcomes and course outcomes.

PO Assessment Tools:

Assessment tools are categorized into direct and indirect methods to assess the Program Outcomes,
Program Specific Outcomes and Course Outcomes.

(A). Direct methods: Display the students’ knowledge and skills from their performance in the MID
Examinations, Lab Examinations, end-semester examinations, presentations and classroom assignments
etc. These methods provide a sampling of what students know and/or can do and provide strong evidence
of students learning.

(B).Indirect methods:Preparations are gathered to know how well students are achieving/ achieved a
learning outcome. The PAC assesses opinions, thoughts about the graduate knowledge and skills. As it is a
complex process, the percentage of attainment is kept at low percentage.

Direct Component:

Page 41/125 20-10-2020 11:33:30

 Self Study Report of BALAJI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE

Direct Assessment of POs for a course is obtained by mapping the average value of Course Outcomes
attainment with the mapping of the target or expected POs for the particular course.

Indirect Component:

The indirect component of PO contribution is obtained from different surveys

Graduate Exit Survey

Alumni Survey
Employer Survey

Graduate Exit Survey: The Graduate Exit Survey is conducted at the end of the Program. The Objective
of the Survey is to know the level of confidence of each PO/PSO that graduates possess by the end of the
program.

Alumni Survey: A Survey is conducted on POs and PSOs. It contributes towards the weightage of POs
and PSOs attainment. This survey is administered by alumni coordinator with the passed out students.

Employer Survey: A feedback is collected on POs &PSOs. It is an indirect assessment tool which
contributes towards the weightage of POs and PSOs. Employee surveys are tools used by organizational
leadership to gain feedback on and measure employee engagement, employee moral values and
performance.

The weightages in indirect assessment process are tabulated as given below.

Name Of the Survey Weightage

Graduate Exit Survey 10%
Alumni Survey 5%
Employer Survey 5%
Table: Weightage of Surveys

PO Attainment:

Direct attainment level of a POs & PSOs is determined by taking average across all courses addressing that
POs and/or PSOs.

Indirect attainment level of POs & PSOs is determined based on the student exit surveys, employer
surveys, co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities etc.

For affiliated, non-autonomous colleges, it is assumed that while deciding on overall attainment level 80%
weightage may be given to direct assessment and 20% weightage to indirect assessment through surveys
from students(largely), employers (to some extent).

Analyzing of Results:

Levels of attainment are decided upon the percentage of students of the class who have more than Average
mark allotted for the course outcome in the final Examination (CIE/SEE).

4.2 Library as a Learning Resource

Page 56/125 20-10-2020 11:33:41

 Self Study Report of BALAJI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE

4.2.1 Library is automated using Integrated Library Management System (ILMS)

Response:

Library automation is extremely important in this age of technology as there is tremendous growth
in the different fields of knowledge and need for access to the desired literature. BITS has taken an
initiative to move its library towards paperless functioning through the use of automated library
management software. It is difficult to have access to the desired literature with manually operated
devices. Library automation enables acquisition, cataloguing and circulation.
The Automated Library System used by the institute is an Integrated Library Management System
(ILMS) with interoperability means/interfaces for different kinds of systems at the institution level.
It also means interfaces for similar systems at the inter-organizational level, as a result of which
resource sharing and collaboration can now be taken to a whole new level. The ILMS is no longer
the poor cousin in the e-learning / e-knowledge landscape.
An ILMS is usually comprised of a relational database and software to act on that database and two
graphical user interfaces (one for patrons, one for staff). Most of the ILMS software functions in
discrete programs called modules, which are then integrated into a unified interface. Examples of
modules include: acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials), cataloguing
(classifying and indexing materials), circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving them
back), serials (tracking magazine and newspaper holdings), and the OPAC (public interface for
users). Each patron and item has a unique ID in the database that allows the ILS (integrated library
system) to track its activity.
NEW GEN LIB is an Integrated Library Management System developed by Verus Solutions Pvt
Ltd and the Kesavan Institute of Information and Knowledge Management in Hyderabad, India.
NEW GEN LIB version 3.1.1 was released in March 2006. NEW GEN LIB was declared Open
Source Software under GNU GPL Licence by Verus Solutions.
Ample Trails provides Library Management System which is very easy to use and fulfils all the
requirement of a librarian. There are many features which help librarian to keep records of available
books as well as issued books. This software is available in two modes i.e. web-based and local
host based. We provide best Library Management System.

Here is a list of features of Library Management System which provides Ample Trails offered in Balaji
Institute of Technology & Science.

Keep record of different categories like; Books, Journals, Newspapers, Magazines,

etc.
Keep record of complete information of a book like: Book name, Author name, Publisher’s name,
Date/ Year of publication, Cost of the book, Book purchasing date/ Bill no.
Automatic fine calculation for late returns.
Different criteria for searching a book.
Different kinds of reports like: total no. of books, no. of issued books, no. of journals,
etc.
Easy way to know how many books are issued to a particular
student.
Easy way to know the status of a book.
Event calendar for librarian to remember their dates.
Online access for registered user to see the status of their books.

The Student Council and the Principal:

The role of the Principal is of central importance in the establishment and operation of a Student Council.
In assisting the Management in the development of college policy, and in working with teachers and to
implement it at day-to-day level, the Principal is centrally placed in all aspects of the college’s operations.

and the role of individual representatives on the council. The Principal will assist in guiding the Council’s
development, so as to allow for a constructive and purposeful Council. More generally, the Principal can
promote the college culture which recognizes the potentially valuable input that students can make,
through a Student Council, into the development of the college.

promote the development of the college and the welfare of its students.

In planning and undertaking activities during the course of the year, the Council

1.Works closely with the management, teachers and students.

2.Consults students in the college regularly and involves as many students as possible in the activities
of the Council.

Solid Waste Management:

The waste generated in the campus includes wrappers, glass, metals, paper, plastics, etc. Old newspapers, used pa
workshop scrap etc. are given for recycling to external agencies. Solid waste will be collected through Tractors fro
college regularly. Glass, metals, plastic and other non-biodegradable wastes are given to external agencies where t

7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:

The Main reason for considering rainwater harvesting system established in our campus is that
rainwater harvesting allows controlling the water supply allowing self-sufficiency and water
conservation.
Rainwater is a free and relatively clean source of water. The rainwater-harvesting facility has been
implemented in all academic buildings of the campus, which results in raising the groundwater
table and has saved a significant amount of water expenses.
Rainwater collected from the buildings is channelized into pits located inside the campus. Also, the
runoff water collected on the roads is drained and conveyed to the pits.
BITS has taken sustainable initiative towards conserving water through a wide expanse of well-
maintained green landscape which has been deliberately included on the campus to keep the ground
porous so that rainwater can be collected through natural means to recharge the water table. It
helps in improving the quality and increasing the level of ground water. It also helps in improving
the overall floral system and reduces the loss of top layer of the soil. Rainwater harvesting practices
at BITS include water table recharging. Water conservation measures are in place at the Institute.
BITS gets water from ground water well. Looking at the current requirement of water and water
table of BITS, the Institute is well-equipped with adequate water resources.
The water is used for drinking and cafeteria. Waste water generated by wash rooms, regular
cleaning and mopping and canteen waste water is collected and is used for the entire landscaping
needs of BITS.
BITS has a good practice of harvesting this rainwater in a pond through soak pits arranged in
different places during rainy season and uses it throughout the year. Using this harnessed water, we
grow various trees, and plants. Apart from this, we grow vegetables on the campus itself and these
vegetables are used in the various hostels of the college. This water is also used to maintain a green
and healthy garden with lawn and other beautiful flowers. Rain water harvesting system ensured
that both of our bore wells are always kept recharged and hence the campus has not felt scarcity of
water for many years.
BITS emphasizes on water conservation, use of push taps to reduce water wastage, use of recycled
water and ground water. These efforts have resulted in lesser usage of the water supply. Students
and staff are sensitized on contributing towards the importance of water conservation and reducing
water wastage through relevant talks and circulars.
Rainwater Harvesting also helps in reducing runoffs and solving drainage problems while giving
unrestricted access to free and clean water.
