WEAKNESSES
Consultancy work
Lack of Industry-Institute collaboration in India
Too many simultaneous responsibilities/directions – difficult to continue
proceeding in the same direction of research and development
Weird weakness of trying to excel in all spheres, leading to individual fatigue
Need for sponsored, real-time, application oriented research and interdisciplinary
research by the faculty
OPPORTUNITIES
Intake of good caliber students
Highly evolving area of engineering – research avenues aplenty
The current status of the country needs increased contribution by engineering
related developments and applications in India
Industry collaborations through internships, project and research.
Larger number of M.Tech courses in the department leading to increased research
ambience
THREATS
Guiding all the students for worthwhile project practices and research
Ever-growing field of engineering is a threat
Having high caliber students with great potential – seeking proper direction
Students’ psychology – difficult to predict and guide, given the influence of
modern culture and wrong exposure to technology and way of living
Evolution of technology and exposure leading to reducing moral values,
misplaced western culture and disobedience
