Outcome Based Education
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a student-centered approach that focuses on measurable outcomes and achievements, emphasizing assessing students' knowledge, skills, and abilities. OBE enhances institutional reputation, supports accreditation processes, and prepares students for further education or employment. The Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering (E&TC) is accredited by the NBA for the fourth cycle of three years, effective July 1, 2022
After Autonomy the curriculum of the Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Department has been designed in line with the AICTE Model Curriculum/ NEP 2020 requirements and strengthened by incorporating courses as per industry and research needs. To enrich the curriculum, domain wise core and elective courses are included. 3 Curriculum enhancement is done to prepare students for public and private sector careers and for success in competitive examinations. Holistic Multidisciplinary Education (HME) and Specialization courses with credits are also introduced to enhance employability of students. Students’ evaluation process is enhanced over the years with incorporating continuous evaluation and Innovative Examination in the curriculum.
A core curriculum with holistic multidisciplinary activities broadens students' learning perspectives, fosters critical thinking, and enhances problem-solving abilities. Additionally, the introduction of an innovative exam format encourages self-learning, exploration of new knowledge areas, and a proactive approach to learning, creating a dynamic and engaging educational experience that equips students for future challenges. OBE emphasizes students attaining graduate attributes (GAs). Attaining the GAs entails the success rate of students, eligibility for placement, student placement, and the ability to excel at competitive exams. The success rate of learners who graduated in 2022 from the department has been 93.57%. An excellent success rate indicates the development of the necessary knowledge, skills, and attributes required for a rewarding professional career. A higher success rate indirectly also ensures better eligibility and placement. 96% of the eligible students in the 2022 batch were placed in both the public and private sectors
By aligning the curriculum with the GATE examination requirements and providing comprehensive training, the department has ensured that the learners can confidently approach competitive exams and increase their chances of success. Students aspiring to pursue higher education abroad also receive guidance and counseling services from the Higher Education and Online Certification Cell (HOC). On average, around 25% students opt for pursuing higher studies, and around 57% of the students interested in pursuing higher studies are able to secure admissions in premier institutions in India and abroad.
The program has undergone a significant transformation with the introduction of Professional Skills (PS) courses, which have been integrated into the curriculum. These courses are designed to align with the Qualification Packs (QPs) provided by the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF). The QPs outline a set of National Occupational Standards (NOSs) that are directly associated with specific job roles. This approach ensures that competency and outcome-based training and assessment are provided for each job role in the industry. The NOSs within the QPs define the expected level of performance, knowledge, and understanding required to carry out various activities in the workplace. Upon successful completion of the PS courses, students will have the opportunity to appear for QP Exams, which grant them relevant certifications. This integration of PS courses establishes a standardized framework that empowers students to acquire industry-specific skills and knowledge, preparing them for future professional endeavors. Thus, with OBE, E&TC aims to provide a curriculum and courses that fulfill the needs of learners, ensuring their fruitful engagement and a bright and rewarding career.
