Curriculum transaction and its outcome evaluation are systematized by proper planning, scheduling,
delivery and monitoring of the activities undertaken by preparing academic calendar.

As per the university academic schedule, the academic calendar is prepared by respective course-
coordinators in consultation with other faculties for both MCA and MMS programmes. The academic
calendar is supported by semester plan which constitutes lesson plans and weekly timetable as per the
teaching scheme mentioned in the curriculum.

The departmental meetings are held throughout each semester to ensure that the teachers follow the
syllabus as per the prescribed pattern course-wise. The syllabus given by the University of Mumbai
illustrates in detail the number of hours and topics to be covered for each unit in every course for both
MCA as well as MMS. Accordingly all faculties of both departments follow the teaching pedagogy on the
lines of University of Mumbai.

For effective curriculum delivery, the institution provides the facilities like computer laboratories where
students are provided with individual PCs and Smart Board. Institute also offers wider range of electives
and certificate courses to enhance curricular aspects. MCA department conducts add-on practical sessions
to enhance technical skills of the students. MMS department on the other hand conducts regular co-
curricular activities like self-help videos, group discussions, debates and role-plays to sharpen the
managerial skills of the students. To ensure effective curricular implementation, the institute provides
internships and/or open source projects to the students as per their chosen domain. The teachers ensure that
the students develop a research based approach by motivating them to publish their research papers and
participate in related activities. Regular one-day as well as long Industrial Visits are also arranged by both
the departments to enlighten students with practical knowledge for various domains.

Due emphasis is laid on teaching the students by well trained and knowledgeable teachers under the
program of ‘train the trainer’. Faculties are given in-house training as well as sent out for the training for
content design and its delivery. Moreover, five faculties were sent under the Faculty Development
Program, few have attended orientation program and also refresher course. All faculties have attended
workshops, seminars and conferences within the assessment period. Faculties are encouraged in

1.3 Curriculum Enrichment

1.3.1 Institution integrates cross- cutting issues relevant to Gender, Environment and Sustainability,
Human Values and Professional Ethics into the Curriculum

Response:

The institute is committed towards an education that enables holistic development of students,
metamorphosing them into becoming multi-faceted human beings. This entails sensitizing students towards
issues related to gender equality, environment & sustainability, human values and the ethical dimensions
which are implicit in every decision or action we take in our personal, professional, and social life. The
curriculum of both programmes MCA and MMS is designed and time-to-time revised so as to incorporate
subjects directly addressing these cross-cutting concerns. As such, it provides enormous scope for openly
discussing, questioning and practically demonstrating the various aspects under-pinning these issues.

For instance, Ethics & CSR, Green Computing, among others, are some elective subjects in MCA
programme that directly address concerns related to ethics and environmental sustainability, similarly in
MMS programme we have, Indian Ethos in Management, Rural Marketing, and knowledge management as
some of the subjects and Corporate Social Responsibility Projects discussing and demonstrating the role of
ethics in management, marketing towards rural development and role of corporates towards wider social
well-being.

During regular lecture delivery, teachers also discuss about the climate science, climate modeling and
explore the related sustainability possibilities in terms of energy, transportation, and food production needs
of global human populations.

Besides the syllabus containt , Institute over the last few years, also has been conducting various short
certificate courses and weeklong workshops towards this purpose. They are as listed below:

‘Vedanta, Dharma and Management’: A three month certificate course conducted by MMS
faculty Dr. Anita Bobade. The course illustrates the often ignored relevance of ancient Indian
philosophies and value systems to the management problems of the modern techno-industrial era.
The inherently narrow, mechanistic and utility maximizing transaction-oriented methods of
management as developed in west is contrasted with the holistic and integrated outlook propounded
by Ancient Indian Systems of Philosophy and Management.

The students are assessed based on the levels of their competencies. The Admission Committee plays a
vital role in the same. During the admission counseling round, the committee interacts with the students
and familiarizes them with the curriculum and the academic requirements for the students. This gives the
students a fair idea about the nature of the MCA and MMS programmes. Induction Programme of three
days duration is held every year at the start of the new academic batch. This familarises students about the
overall course structure, subjects, industry requirements and also it helps students for selecting their subject
specialization.

The Institute promotes and emphasizes on a healthy teacher-student interaction. Learning levels of various
students are identified through competency mapping, counseling, regular assessments and tests. According
to learning capabilities, the students are segregated into slow learners and advanced learners.

Bridge courses are especially conducted for students where students from different disciplines are enrolled
to be in the lines of interdisciplinary approach.

enriching the performance of students.

Additional lectures are conducted for slow learners to enable them, to absorb, retain and clarify doubts and
queries. The Institute advocates a contingent approach towards slow learners by regularly interacting and
mentoring them depending on their academic record, family background and socio-economic status.

The advanced learners who are performing well in various subject areas, are connected with our alumni
who are placed at niche positions across various corporate sectors. The students with entrepreneurial skills
are motivated and encouraged to enhance the same by interaction with industry experts and entrepreneurs.

IQAC has suggested conducting fundamental courses frequently in order to lay the foundation for various
subject domains. Accordingly, various add-on and value added courses are offered to the students.

The Institute adopts a comprehensive approach and conducts the following activities:

1) Encouraging students' creativity, logic building and leadership skills by assigning them responsibilities
and tasks such as critical analysis of various case studies, book reviews, gamification, role play, open
source projects and theme wise projects development.

2) Involving them in co-curricular and extra curricular activities, add-on courses, seminars, workshops and
conferences. As per the suggestions of IQAC various related activities are conducted by the institute.
These activities help to develop personal accomplishment among students.

3) Regular library sessions helps engaging students in Library activities and exercises such as online case
studies, financial report analysis and e-book reviews.

from this, the students are given a learning platform by the means of library workshop and conference.

During the rigorous mentoring sessions, various abilities and skill sets of the students are identified by the
mentors. The said sessions provide the faculties a platform to groom students from the perspective of
placements. For instance, E-Cell of the Institute, conducts the activity called “Jugaad”, in which students
are expected to gather information about unique products which are available across the countries which
can easily be sold in the local market. The students are asked to then display the same products in the
Institute premises.

services they provide for users. Due to information and communication technologies (ICT) traditional
library services are increasingly getting transformed through automation and digitization; we are now
moving towards becoming paperless “virtual” libraries. Library science professionals are seeking to
explore various technologies to tackle their profession’s challenges. Cloud computing forms a critical
technological enabler in this context. It helps us in bridging the gap between digital libraries and IT.

Sharing of data among the libraries will in principle reduce the overall cost and increase the efficiency. For
instance, economy of information handling, reduction in duplication of resources, ease of tracking
subscriptions etc. are aided by moving towards cloud based library platforms.

This workshop looked at the basic concept and tries to discuss the pros and cons of this newly developed
area known as cloud computing, as it relates to library science. The use of cloud computing in libraries and
how it actually works was illustrated in this one day workshop. It must have helped in enhancing the
participant's experience and in making the libraries a lot more scalable.

The said activity is completed successfully with positive feedback from audience. Due to decisions of
IQAC and library committee, NMITD library got new prospects to get connected with LIS professionals as
well as library research resources.

6.3.5 Institution has Performance Appraisal System for teaching and non-teaching staff

Response:

The teaching staff appraisal is carried out in two ways: student’s feedback and self-appraisal forms.
Students evaluate faculty members performance on content delivery(knowledge) skills and interpersonal
skills. Besides this faculties also fill the self-appraisal forms noting their achievements and skill set
upgradation during the appraised academic year. These forms are confidential. Later the Director assesses
the feedback and self-appraisal forms and adds remarks based on the overall interaction and contribution of
faculty memebrs during the assessment year.

Page 74/101 08-01-2019 08:57:47

 Self Study Report of DECCAN EDUCATION SOCIETY'S NAVINCHANDRA MEHTA INSTITUTE OF
TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT
The Non- teaching staff appraisal is carried out by taking self- appraisal forms which are then assessed by
Admin in-charge with a remark. Later the Director assesses the self-appraisal forms and remarks given by
Admin Incharge and in accordance with that director gives his remarks based on the overall interaction and
contribution of staff during the assessment year.

The confidential performance appraisal reports are then sent to the parent organisation i.e. Deccan
Education Society. Based on the reports the management recommends, different improvement steps to be
carried out by staff members. Healthy discussion takes place between the concerned staff members, their
course coordinator and Director.

Institution designs and encourages staff members for orientation, remedial and refresher programmes for
improvement and the schedule is communicated through staff notice boards, social media groups and other
suitable communication channels.

6.4 Financial Management and Resource Mobilization

6.4.1 Institution conducts internal and external financial audits regularly

Response:

The central finance committee of Deccan Education Society has devised a mechanism of periodical
assessment of different institutions under it.

Internal audit is carried out periodically twice or thrice a year, where the persons from central office come
and check the financial transactions done. The accounting software is centrally linked to the central office
database, which ensures the smooth financial and accounting activity.

The external audit is done by the statutory auditor appointed by the Deccan Education Society at the end of
the financial year.

The Institute has set mechanism to avoid audit objections. The fund allocations and budgetary provisions
are made at the time of preparing a budget for the particular financial year. The annual budget is presented
to CDC and further sent to the central office for budget scrutiny. Central office after the scrutiny approves
the budget for the particular financial year. The budgeted direct income and revenue receipt and
expenditure statement is prepared. Once the budget is approved by central finance committee, for the
effective and efficient use of available financial resources, the provisions are made in the accounting
software. This is to avoid the misuse of funds or inappropriate budget head allocation of the expenses
made. A trial balance is taken periodically and cash register is maintained to review the day to day
financial transactions. The accounting software displays the budgeted amount and the amount spent every
time, thereby giving a clear picture.

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System

6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has contributed significantly for institutionalizing the
quality assurance strategies and processes

Response:

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) is constituted on 5th Dec 2015 in the presence of all teaching and
non-teaching staff members of NMITD. The committee comprises of IQAC chairman, management
representative, coordinator, industrialist, alumni representatives and members. IQAC is a structural and
functional unit of the Institute. It is an institutionalized body which is constructed by all stakeholders of the
Institute.

As per the suggestion of IQAC, Institute conducts various academic, co-curricular and extracurricular
activities for the quality improvement.

The following practices were institutionalized as a result of IQAC initiative:

1. Successful initiation and conduction of National conferences ,workshops and seminars

In order to enhance the research skill sets of faculty members, students and society at large, IQAC has
taken the initiative to conduct research related activities like Conferences, Workshops and seminars.
Accordingly, National conference (NCMAT’17) on “Technology and Management in Asian Century” was
held in February 2017. It’s about empowering businesses, organisations and users to achieve more. This
allows understanding the needs of client, committing to the task and delivering the best solution through
information technology to client and society. The response for the conference was overwhelming and the
journal achieved an impact factor of 2.1992(UIF).

To drive this initiative a library workshop titled “Cloud based integrated library management system for
21st century libraries” was successfully conducted in March 2017. Library science professionals are
seeking to explore various technologies to tackle their profession’s challenges. Cloud computing forms a
critical technological enabler in this context. It helps us in bridging the gap between digital libraries and IT.
Sharing of data among the libraries will in principle reduce the overall cost and increase the efficiency.

In addition to this, a successful National Conference (NCLMIT) on “Library Management and Information
Technology in 21st Century” was conducted in August 2017 and NCMAT’18 on “Managing Business and
Technology in the Knowledge Economy” in February 2018.

2. Exploring the avenue of consultancy

As per the suggestions of IQAC the process for conducting Management Development Programmes
(MDP) was initiated. Accordingly, successful MDP on "Work-life balance" was conducted for women

6.5.2 The institution reviews its teaching learning process, structures & methodologies of operations
and learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms

Response:

Ever since the inception of IQAC, it strives to bring about innovative and transformational changes in the
institution at all levels, the major focus being on academic enrichment and fulfillment of curriculum aspect
of MCA and MMS. Keeping this in mind, the course coordinators prepare academic calendars for each
programme at the beginning of each year and get it sanctioned from the Director. All teachers follow the
same throughout the year which includes lecturing, internal and university exams, presentations, practical
exams, cultural events and industrial visits.

1. Academic Audit

From 2016-17, IQAC has suggested to conduct academic audit for institutional review. The main objective
of academic audit is to track the academic calendar and to review other administrative activities. The
Institute invites experts as auditors. The auditors assess yearly performance of students, teachers and other
staff members. The auditors also review the research activities of teachers. The course coordinator present
departmental activities performed in a year. Accordingly, the expert team prepares audit report and gives
suggestions for betterment of the Institute.

With this structured methodology, the Institute conducted internal academic audit in the year of 2016-17
with the expert team comprising of IQAC representatives. At the conclusion of audit process, the expert
team suggested to conduct external academic audit next year onwards.

2. Teaching- Learning Reforms for Career Opportunities:

IQAC suggested more prominent and specialized training for MCA and MMS students to sharpen their
skillsets. In the view of this, to enhance their career opportunities, placement committee organized
psychometric test in the presence of counselor in collaboration with MEETCS. The outcome of this test
results in identification of specialized domain suitable for each student. Accordingly, the student may
undergo specialized certification. For some of the commonly identified specialized domains such as
Python, Hadoop, Digital marketing, Advanced Excel, the Institute offers value added courses. The
placement committee found this activity very effective in terms of enhancing career opportunities.

6.5.5 Incremental improvements made during the preceding five years (in case of first cycle) Post
accreditation quality initiatives (second and subsequent cycles)

Response:

1. Research Activities:

To encourage research activities, Institute started encouraging teachers for attending conferences at
national and international level. As a part of encouragement, Institute reimburses registration fees of
research conference or for any workshop/FDP.
For further support to teachers and to motivate students for research oriented thoughts, Institute started
organizing the conference with the theme related to current topics, which encourages budding researchers
in the field of Technology and Management. As the success of this initiative, the Institute has published
two dedicated research journals with notable impact factors in consecutive two years.
For research enrichment, the IQAC has proposed a research center. Accordingly, two teachers have
submitted testimonials to university in order to obtain approval as recognized research guides.
Simultaneously five teachers and two library staff are pursuing doctorates.

2. Feedback System:

Feedback is necessary for the evaluation of teachers’ performance and university curriculum. Thus, it is
necessary activity for the Institute. From the day of inception of the Institute, Director used to take verbal
feedback from the students. Based on this communication, Director used to take meeting of faculties on
individual basis and guide them to improve their performance. From academic year 2015-16, as per
suggestions of IQAC, the department started taking structured feedback. Along with teacher’s performance
feedback, curriculum feedback is also initiated.
After first cycle of such feedback method, certain improvements are observed. Feedback by the students is
constructively channelized.
As per suggestions of IQAC, online feedback system will be implemented from coming academic year.
Students of MCA batch 2017-18 have designed Feedback App using which all students can give feedback
on their mobiles during specific time interval. The said feedback system is ecofriendly and helps in
maintaining the responses of students where we can view the reports at any given time.

3. Quality Measures for Administrative Staff:

Administrative staff is the backbone of the Institute, occupied with several responsibilities such as
accounts, examinations, support services and taking follow up from various statutory bodies.

The Institute has encouraged some of the non-teaching staff to upgrade their qualifications under the

and Mrs. Darshana Dhuri completed their M.Lib. successfully from Yashwantrao Chavan University. Ms.
Manali Shirke who was the junior clerk after completing graduation in B.Sc. Stats, cleared MMS CET and
secured the admission for MMS programme in the institute. The institute has adjusted her office timings so
that she can attend the sessions properly and complete her office responsibilities as well. Two of our library
staff members are pursing Ph.Ds. from recognized universities. As discussed in IQAC meeting, the Admin
Incharge took the initiative to get two Saturday per month off to administrative staff from the academic
year 2015-16 for increasing their efficiency by the way of motivation, which is approved by CDC. Institute
also looks for their welfare measures along with teachers and students. For instance, four of our non-
teaching employees has availed the benefit of mediclaim.

Realizing the vision of our founding fathers of educating masses with professional education, through
financial assistance forming tie ups with Public Sector Banks and Other Financial Intermediaries like

economically backward class meritorious students.

At DES’s NMITD, we believe that, Learning gives Creativity, Creativity leads to Thinking, Thinking
provides knowledge, and Knowledge makes a nation great. Our Former President, Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam,
corroborates the fact that Education leads to transformation of civilization and it is the fundamental enabler
of the Knowledge economy. Twenty first century will be the century of knowledge. Only those nations will
survive and succeed, which will understand the dynamics of knowledge and create true knowledge
societies. Education in its real sense is the pursuit of truth. It transforms a human being into a wholesome
whole, a noble soul and an asset to the universe. The Academic Institution in the Knowledge Economy,
have to be the incubator of world knowledge powerhouse. Good education is seen as a stepping stone to a
high flying career. A good educational system is the need of the hour to ensure that the students grow to
contribute towards the economic growth of a nation.

Class Students. Apart from the Government Scholarships offered through SamajKalyan, (Directorate of

increases. This portal is developed by NSDL under the guidance of Ministry of Finance and Ministry of
