2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1

Mechanism of internal/ external assessment is transparent and the grievance redressal system is
time- bound and efficient

Response:

C.K. College of Engineering & Technology (CKCET), affiliated with Anna University, prioritizes
compliance with university regulations for a robust assessment framework and effective grievance
redressal, through systematic internal assessments covering theory, laboratories, seminars, internships,
and projects, along with an efficient grievance redressal system. CKCET has a centralized examination
cell, headed by the Principal as Chief Superintendent and supported by the Overall Examination Cell
Coordinator and respective Department Exam Cell Coordinators. The exam cell holds the responsibility
to facilitate and conduct both the Descriptive Continuous Assessments (DCA) and university end-of-
semester examinations. According to Anna University's regulation, the institute conducts three DCAs
which comprise two components for theory courses: DCA (Sec-A) for skill-based assessment and DCA
(Sec-B) for written assessment. The total internal assessment marks are calculated with 60% attributed to
DCA (Sec-B) and 40% to DCA (Sec-A) and for a laboratory course, 75% of the marks are allocated
based on the demonstration of experiments, completion of observations, and records, while the remaining
25% of the marks are derived from model practical examinations. The examination cell of the institute
ensures transparency in the conduct of internal examinations through proper planning and execution.

The schedule of DCAs for each academic year is given in the college calendar. Specific dates for each
assessment are scheduled in line with the Anna University academic schedule and this detailed schedule
is announced to all concerned departments and a copy is displayed on the notice board. The faculty
member prepares the question papers as per the pattern prescribed by the affiliating university and
forwards the same to the examination cell, duly signed by the respective faculty member, approved by
the HODs concerned, and audited by IQAC. Sufficient copies are arranged by the cell before the
examination to ensure transparency in the conduct of the internal examinations

After completing each DCA, the results are promptly published and circulated among the students. This

Page 36/82 28-03-2024 01:03:22

 Self Study Report of C.K. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

transparent process ensures that students are kept informed of their performance throughout the
assessment period. The examination cell has a robust grievance redressal system to address any
grievances related to internal assessments. Students are encouraged to submit grievance forms through
their respective departments to the designated exam cell. Upon receipt of these forms, the exam cell
conducts a thorough review to address the concerns raised by the students, ensuring a fair and timely
resolution. The End semester examinations are conducted strictly according to the guidelines provided by
the Controller of Examinations, Anna University, Chennai. The Principal of the institution assumes the
role of Chief Superintendent, supported by an Overall Exam Cell Coordinator for both theory and Lab-
based examinations. Any grievances, such as mismatches in question paper counting, question paper
omissions, malpractices, or inclusion of out-of-syllabus questions, are addressed to the affiliating
university through the Anna University web portal. Moreover, student attendance and Descriptive
Continuous Assessment (DCA) marks are regularly updated on the affiliating university web portal,
providing transparency and accessibility for students and faculty members. This systematic approach to
examination administration and grievance resolution underscores our commitment to upholding the
integrity and fairness of the examination process as prescribed by Anna University.

of undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programs. Each program is intricately designed to meet the
evolving demands of various industries while also nurturing the aspirations of our students. To ensure
clarity and alignment with our overarching goals, CKCET has stated clear Program Educational
Objectives (PEOs), Program Outcomes (POs), and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) for every
program. Transparency lies at the core of our ethos, and the institution spares no effort in making
essential program information readily accessible to all stakeholders. Through a multi-faceted approach,
we disseminate details about PEOs, POs, PSOs & COs across various platforms. Our institution's website
serves as a primary hub for accessing comprehensive program information, enabling easy navigation for
students, faculty members, industry partners, and accrediting bodies alike. This display of information
not only empowers students to make well-informed decisions about their educational journey but also
fosters a sense of trust and confidence in CKCET among our industry collaborators and accrediting

agencies.

In addition to our online presence, we employ various offline channels to ensure broad dissemination of
PEOs, POs, and PSOs. In all Classrooms, the Noticeboard and all prominent places serve as tangible
resources, offering detailed insights into the distinct educational experiences available at CKCET.
Recognizing the importance of integrating these outcomes into the fabric of our educational approach, we
emphasize the articulation and dissemination of Course Outcomes (COs) to our students. Through
meticulously crafted course materials and assessment methodologies, we ensure that each student
understands the specific learning objectives of every course and comprehends how these objectives
contribute to the overarching goals of their respective programs. By adopting an integrated approach to
disseminating information about our Program Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs) through a
myriad of channels, CKCET underscores its unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability,
and continuous improvement. Through this concerted effort, we strive to empower our stakeholders with
comprehensive insights into our programs and outcomes, thereby facilitating the success and

2.6.2

Attainment of POs and COs are evaluated.

Explain with evidence in a maximum of 500 words

Response:

C.K. College of Engineering & Technology is committed to providing excellence in education through a
meticulous approach to evaluating Program Outcomes (POs) and Course Outcomes (COs), aligned with
the guidelines outlined in the AICTE examination reforms. The institution assessment process comprises
two fundamental steps: identifying competencies and defining performance indicators (PIs), followed by
direct and indirect assessment of COs. In the first step, subject experts meticulously identify the
competencies that students must attain, encompassing technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities,
communication skills, teamwork, ethical values, and a commitment to lifelong learning. These
competencies serve as the foundation for defining specific performance indicators (PIs) that are relative
to the subject course outcomes. By defining these PIs, we establish a clear framework for assessing
student learning and achievement. In the second step, we employ both direct and indirect assessment
methods to evaluate COs. Direct assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of student performance
through Descriptive Continuous Assessment (DCA), assignments, mini-projects/objective tests, and
University end-semester examinations. These assessments are meticulously designed to align with the
defined PIs and COs, ensuring that they accurately measure student mastery of the course content.

Page 38/82 28-03-2024 01:03:22

 Self Study Report of C.K. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

Furthermore, the Institution assessment process includes predefined criteria for assigning attainment
values based on students' performance in direct assessments. For instance, if 71% or more of the students
score 50% or higher in direct assessments, they secure an attainment value of 3. Similarly, attainment
values of 2 and 1 are assigned to students scoring between 61 to 70% and 51 to 60%, respectively.
Students who score below 50% are considered to have not attained the desired level of competency,
triggering the implementation of remedial measures to support their academic progress. In addition to
direct assessment, the institution also incorporates indirect assessment methods, such as surveys and
questionnaires, to gather feedback on individual course outcomes. These surveys provide valuable
insights into students' perceptions of their learning experiences and the extent to which they believe they
have achieved the intended outcomes of the course. For the final calculation of CO attainment, 80% of
the direct assessment score is added with 20% of the indirect assessment score, ensuring a
comprehensive and balanced evaluation of student achievement. Moving beyond course outcomes, the
institution also prioritizes the assessment of Program Outcomes (POs) to ensure that CKCET graduates
are well-prepared to meet industry standards and societal needs. Through direct PO attainment and
program exit surveys, the institution evaluates the overall effectiveness of the programs.

In conclusion, the rigorous assessment process of the institution is designed to ensure that the educational
programs effectively prepare students to excel in their chosen fields, meet industry demands, and
contribute meaningfully to society. By adhering to the AICTE examination reforms and continuously
refining the assessment techniques, the institution remains committed to delivering education of the
highest quality.

comprehensive solution for effective library operations. The "My Class Board ERP Library Module" is
designed to digitize and automate library operations, making it easier for librarians to manage book
inventories, lending, and returns, as well as for students and teachers to access library resources. The My
Class Board revolutionizes the library landscape, offering a digital platform for both students and faculty
members. Library user entry and exits are digitized with the integration of the biometric system with the

various sources (government/ nongovernment organizations) and it conducts financial audits
regularly (internal and external)

Response:

C.K. College of Engineering & Technology (CKCET), recognizes the critical importance of effective
financial management to support institutional goals and objectives. To achieve this, the Institution has
established a dedicated finance committee tasked with overseeing financial matters and ensuring the
optimal utilization of resources and funds from various sources, including government and non-
government organizations. The finance committee plays a pivotal role in guiding financial planning,
reviewing proposed budgets, and recommending budget allocations that align with our strategic
priorities. Through a collaborative process involving department heads and functional heads across the
institution, we collect financial requirements and revenues from tuition fees, grants, donations, and other
sources. The budget preparation process of the institution involves a thorough review of projected
expenses, encompassing salaries, staff benefits, augmentation of infrastructure facilities, maintenance &
repair, utilities, library resources, purchase of new laboratory equipment, lab equipment services,
organizing seminars, workshops, and value-added courses, etc.

This comprehensive approach ensures that our budget reflects our institutional needs while maintaining
fiscal responsibility. Once the preliminary budget proposal is formulated, it undergoes rigorous
evaluation by the Head of the Institution and the finance committee. This evaluation considers factors
such as financial feasibility, regulatory compliance, and alignment with institutional goals. Adjustments
are made as necessary to ensure that the final budget reflects our priorities and objectives. Upon approval
by the Governing Council, the annual budget serves as a guiding framework for financial management
throughout the fiscal year. Financial managers and heads of the institution execute spending plans
following allocated amounts and timelines, closely monitoring expenses and making adjustments as
needed to stay within approved limits. Through strategic planning and collaborative efforts with

Page 68/82 28-03-2024 01:03:23

stakeholders, the institute ensures that funds are allocated efficiently to enhance educational programs,
infrastructure, and student support services.

As part of the institution's commitment to transparency and accountability, CKCET organizes regular
financial audits to ensure compliance with accounting standards, regulatory requirements, and
institutional policies. The internal audit team, overseen by the finance committee, reviews the financial
records and processes. The internal audit committee also verifies the utilisation and grants received from
AICTE, TNSCST and other non-government organisations and submits the report to the Principal.
Additionally, the institution engages reputable Chartered Accountants to perform external audits,
providing independent verification of our financial practices. At the end of each fiscal year, we reconcile
financial records and complete year-end closing procedures to ensure accuracy and integrity in our
financial reporting.

In summary, CKCET is dedicated to effective financial management, resource utilization, and

accountability. Through our robust financial planning processes, diligent budget oversight, and
comprehensive audit practices, we strive to uphold the highest standards of fiscal responsibility and
support the long-term success of our institution.
