Were any innovative teaching approaches/methods/practices
adopted/put to use by the faculty during the last four years? If yes, did
they improve learning? What were the methods used to evaluate the
impact of such practices? What are the efforts made by the institution in
giving the faculty due recognition for innovation in teaching?
The details of the innovative methodologies adapted by the faculty members
are given in the ‘Evaluative Report of the Schools’. The University has
included the ‘innovative approaches’ as an item in the annual ‘Performance
Evaluation’ of the Faculty members through which due recognition is given in
evaluating and appreciating them.
Research based learning has been introduced in all PG programs which
empowers students to take up a project during a semester. Students are guided
by faculty members, and the students present the project outcomes during the
International Science Engineering and Technology conference held twice
every year.
Project based learning for UG students is also offered by interested faculty
members to motivate students in gaining a research based practical experience.

How does the university create a culture of instilling and nurturing
creativity and scientific temper among the learners?
Experiential learning, either through Project-based or Research-based
learning, has given enough scope and background for instilling scientific
temper among the learners. The outcomes of the project / research work are
normally presented at the conference (Science, Engineering and Technology
Conference – abbreviated as SET conference) organized at the end of every
semester. The students can take up these projects either in groups or
individually. Over 1,500 students make their presentation each semester. The
students are also encouraged to publish the significant findings in scientific
journals. In a few instances, the students also come up with the prototype of
the proposed products.
Apart from these the students clubs and chapters, also nurture the creativity of
the students by organizing several events. These events help students think
