Institutional preparedness for NEP

1. Multidisciplinary / interdisciplinary:

The core idea of NEP, such as variety for all curricula and pedagogy with technology breakthroughs in teaching and learning, supporting logical decision-making and innovation, critical thinking, and creativity, were the subject of a series of sessions conducted among the faculty members. With the NEP in mind, MCET has launched new multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary centres that integrate many departments in addition to inter/multidisciplinary research and academics that are already in place. Courses in multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary fields have been added as electives to academic programs. Every curriculum is created to provide students with as much freedom as possible when selecting electives from other programs. The recommendations made in the NEP are being aggressively implemented by MCET.

2. Academic Bank of Credits (ABC):

Academic Bank of Credits has been established on the lines of the National Academic Depository (NAD), in the sense, NAD is the backbone of ABC, where the students’ academic data are held and academic awards are stored (i.e. storehouse of academic awards). Despite the fact that ABC enables students to register or commence credit transfer, the final outcomes of credit redemption and issuance of certificates, as well as the compilation of award records, are administered by academic institutions via the NAD Platform. Our students are encouraged to register in NAD since 2019.

3. Skill development:

MCET has been constantly striving to provide contemporary skill development of youth in the region through its 15+ centers of excellence. These centers have created 17000+ skill impacts. Trainings at these centers are offered in multiple modes with TUV Rheinland, Technology Development Center and TNASDC in 20+ different topics. To enhance entrepreneurial knowledge and skills via structured training courses initiatives have been taken through Institution’s Innovation Council. Also, under the employability enhancement program for student in skill courses, the college has already been running courses such as Business English Certificate and MNRE courses like Surya Mitra, Vayumitra programs etc.

4. Appropriate integration of Indian Knowledge system (teaching in Indian Language, culture, using online course):

A unique curriculum that offers credit-bearing courses like environmental science, Universal Human Values, Wellness for Students, and Understanding Harmony is being offered to instil our Indian culture.MCET provides students with a great opportunity to showcase their talents in dance, music, art, and mime. The fine arts group plans a variety of cultural events to help students unwind, have fun, and balance their free time. Muthamil Mandram provides moral support and self-assurance to MCET faculty and students by speaking in their mother tongue, “Tamil”. Activities are planned to help them remember who they are.Women’s Day is a significant day which is celebrated with cultural events like Rangoli, Mehandi etc. MCET observes all religious festivals with equal importance to promote national integrity and awareness of the national and regional languages and associated culture of India. National memorial days like Constitution Day and Yoga Day are also observed. Teachers day, Republic Day and Independence Day are few examples of celebrations where students are spoken to in their mother tongue. Sinthanai Mandram conducts events to inculcate cultural thoughts every week. The college has a 2000-seat Centenary Center Auditorium, where cultural events are organized.

5. Focus on Outcome-based education (OBE):

MCET has adopted Outcome-Based Education (OBE) since 2014 to apply the spirit of NEP and meet global standards and stakeholder expectations across all programmes.MCET have an exclusive OBE division to adopt OBE practices in all academic departments. MCET adopts ADDIE model for the design of the curriculum. The curriculum design process adopts 12 steps starting from the survey of stakeholders to review of outcomes curriculum, syllabus and processes. Trainings on OBE were offered to all faculty members in the form of coaching sessions, workshop and refresher sessions for all faculty members and select target audiences in some cases. The division has developed around 20 plus training programmes for faculty members to enhance their competencies in teaching-learning process based on OBE model.MCET implementing OBE for all UG and PG programmes. We Disseminate Program Outcomes (PO), Program Specific Outcomes (PSO), Program Educational Outcomes (PEO) and Course Outcomes (CO) in our institutional website and also in the prominent places of all UG and PG departments.Each course is designed with specific Course outcomes(Cos).The Course Outcomes are assessed using variety of assessment methods such as, Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation Tests, end semester examination, quiz, assignment, project, and tutorial.

6. Distance education/online education:

Dr. Mahalingam College of Engineering and Technology, Pollachi-642003 is an autonomous Institution affiliated to Anna University Chennai. And the institute offer programmes in the field of Engineering and Technology. So Distance education/online education for technical courses are inappropriate. However, MCET encourages the students and faculty members to register online courses offered by NPTEL and SWAYAM platforms and provide credit equivalence to the students and suitably recognize in the case of faculty members in their performance appraisal system.
