1.3.1 Historical Background

The VNIT, Nagpur is one of the thirty National Institutes of Technology in the
country. The Central Government by Act of Parliament (National Institutes of
Technology Act, 2007 (29 of 2007)) declared VNIT Nagpur as an Institute of National
Importance. The Act was brought into force from 15th August 2007. VNIT Nagpur was
conferred the Deemed to be University status (under University Grants Commission
Act, 1956 (3 of 1956)) with effect from 26th June 2002 by the Central Government.
Earlier, the Institute was known as Visvesvaraya Regional College of Engineering
(VRCE). It was established in the year 1960 under the scheme sponsored by
Government of India and Government of Maharashtra. The college was started in June
1960 by amalgamating the State Government Engineering College functioning at
Nagpur since July 1956. In the meeting held in October 1962, the Governing
Board of the college resolved to name it after the eminent engineer, planner, and
statesman of the country Sir M. Visvesvaraya.

1.3.2 Location
Nagpur known as Orange City is centrally located and well-connected to all the parts
of the country by air, rail and road. It is also the second capital of Maharashtra. Nagpur
is the largest city in central India and the winter capital of the state of Maharashtra. It is
a fast growing metropolis and is the third most populous city in Maharashtra after
Mumbai and Pune, and also one of the country’s most industrialized cities. With a
population of 2,405,421, Nagpur is the 13th most populous city and 13th largest urban
agglomeration in India. It is the 154th largest agglomeration and 164th largest contiguous
urban areas in the world.
Nagpur is the seat of the annual winter session of the Maharashtra state assembly,
―Vidhan Sabha‖. Nagpur is a major commercial and political centre of the Vidarbha

3
region of Maharashtra. In addition, the city derives political importance from being the
headquarters for the Hindu nationalist organisation RSS and an important location for
the Dalit Buddhist movement.
According to a survey by ABP News-Ipsos, Nagpur has been identified as the best city
in India by topping the liveability, greenery, public transport, and health care indices. It
is famous for the Nagpur Orange and is known as the ―Orange City‖ for being a major
trade center of oranges cultivated in the region.
The city was founded by the Gonds and later became a part of the Maratha Empire
under the royal Bhonsale dynasty. The British East India Company took over Nagpur in
the 19th century and made it the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar. After the
first reorganisation of states, the city lost its status as the capital. Following the informal
―Nagpur Pact‖ between political leaders, it was made the second capital of
Maharashtra.
Nagpur is also called the ―Tiger Capital of India‖ as it connects many tiger reserves in
India to the world. It is among the important cities for the Information Technology
Sector in Maharashtra. Nagpur lies at the dead center of the country with the Zero Mile
marker indicating the geographical center of India. City of Nagpur is considered as
geographic centre of India with its famous Zero Mile stone. Major National highways
and rail networks connecting Delhi with Hyderabad/ Bangalore/Kanyakumari and
Mumbai with Kolkata pass through the city. It is now recognized as Tiger Capital of
India with major Tiger National parks around in the city. It s popularly known as
"Orange City". Nagpur is second capital of Maharashtra State.
VNIT is located in the heart of Nagpur city on sprawling campus of 214 acres. The

The linkage among program outcomes and course outcomes is shown below.

2.2.2. Explain how modes of delivery of courses help in attainment of the POs (10)

(Describe the different course delivery methods/modes (e.g. Lecture interspersed

with discussion, asynchronous mode of interaction, group discussion, project etc.)
used to deliver the courses and justify the effectiveness of these methods for the
attainment of the POs. This may be further justified using the indirect assessment
methods such as course-end surveys.)

The following are the various other alternative content delivery methods used to
deliver the courses:

M1: Lecture interspersed with discussions

M2: Lecture with a quiz
M3: Tutorial
M4: Demonstration ( Such as model, laboratory, field visit )
M5: Group Discussion
M6: Group Assignment/ Project
M7: Presentations
M8: Asynchronous Discussion

In addition to the syllabus mentioned in the curriculum, the students are exposed
themselves as they are provided with the e-content through national and
international portals such as: NPTEL [Link]

2.2.3. Indicate how assessment tools used to assess the impact of delivery of
course/course content contribute towards the attainment of course
outcomes/programme outcomes (10)

39
 (A) Home Assignment-Each and every student is assigned with course related tasks
during every course work once or twice and assessment will be done based on their
performance. Grades are assigned depending on their innovation in solving/deriving
the problems.

(B) Assignment-The assignment is a qualitative performance assessment tool

designed to assess students' knowledge of engineering practices, framework, and
problem solving. An analytic rubric was developed to assess students' knowledge with
respect to the learning outcomes associated with the scenario tool.

(C) Sessional-This type of performance assessment is carried out during the

examination sessions which are held twice a semester. Each and every sessional is
focused in attaining the course outcomes.

2.2.4. Indicate the extent to which the laboratory and project course work are
contributing towards attainment of the POs (10)
The laboratory and project works tasks which are performed for the curriculum are
tabulated in
Laboratory and Project Type Program

2.3. Evaluation of the attainment of the Programme Outcomes (125)

2.3.1. Describe assessment tools and processes used for assessing the attainment
of each PO (25)

40
 Describe the assessment process that periodically documents and demonstrates the
degree to which the Programme Outcomes are attained.

Include information on: (50)

a) A listing and description of the assessment processes used to gather the data
upon which the evaluation of each the programme educational objective is based.
Examples of data collection processes may include, but are not limited to, specific
exam questions, student portfolios, internally developed assessment exams, senior
project presentations, nationally-normed exams, oral exams, focus groups,
industrial advisory committee;
b) The frequency with which these assessment processes are carried out.

2.3.2. Indicate results of evaluation of each PO (50)

c) The expected level of attainment for each of the program outcomes;
d) Summaries of the results of the evaluation processes and an analysis illustrating
the extent to which each of the programme outcomes are attained; and
e) How the results are documented and maintained.
The department has not attempted this exercise yet but the results will be
incorporated in the SAR for the next accreditation
2.4. Use of evaluation results towards improvement of the programme (30)
2.4.1. Indicate how the results of evaluation used for curricular
improvements (5)

By analyzing the results of program outcome assessment in terms of direct and

indirect assessments, necessary actions are recommended to improve the program
curriculum. After each semester, faculty analyzed and evaluated the collected
data from each course and from all other sources(surveys). The Module
coordinators discuss the results with faculty to identify the need for improvement.
Prepare an action plan accordingly. Once the action has been completed, data for
that performance indicator should again be collected, analyzed, and evaluated by
the program assessment committee to see the performance. This process
continues until the performance improve to the target value The results are

41
 discussed with Department Advisory Board The same procedure is followed for
alumni surveys, employer surveys, rubrics etc

2.4.2. Indicate how results of evaluation used for improvement of course

delivery and assessment (10)
With the implementation of specified delivery methods, the effectiveness
of the courses is enhanced.

2.4.3. State the process used for revising/redefining the POs (15)
The need for revise / redefine of existing POs is identified with the help of the
assessment results of PO attainment from direct/indirect assessment methods. Since this
is the first time that outcomes based teaching learning process is operationalized, the
results of the feedback from stake holders will be reflected in the SAR for next
accreditation cycle.

3.1.2. Give the Prerequisite flow chart of courses (5)

After first year of the programme, remaining courses are graded as first level, second
level and advanced courses as indicated in the Table below. Efforts are made to keep
first level courses in 3rd and 4th semester, second level courses in 5th and 6th semester
and advanced level courses in 7th and 8th semester, as far as possible. Since the courses
are mapped semester-wise and students have to take these courses semester-wise, it is
assumed that students are taking these courses sequentially. Faculty Advisers also

46
 counsel students in the matter. Therefore presently pre-requisites are not defined
meticulously. Pre-requisite courses shown in the Table below, therefore, indicate that
these courses actually prepare foundation for the said course.

3.1.3. Justify how the programme curriculum satisfies the program specific
criteria (10)
First level courses introduce students to Engineering and Technology aspect of the
courses. So students learn the relevance of the courses and learn necessary skills
required for higher level courses. In the second level courses the level of complexity
and difficulty is even more. Students are also introduced to industrial practices. Course
at this level also create awareness in students as to how new knowledge is created and
research is carried out to tackle industrial problems. In the advanced level courses
students learn as to how knowledge is created in research activities and from

47
 observation in industries and, as to how knowledge used to analyse and solve
industrial problems. These courses also include numericals and design problems.
During their final year project (MMD401 and MMD402) students work on either
industrial problems or research problems, plan testing and other studies; this give them
exposure to the way industrial or research problems are tackled. These courses
together impart students necessary skills needed in industries and encourage them for
higher studies, R&D and teaching profession.

3.3. State core engineering subjects and their relevance to Programme

Outcomes including design experience (10)

(a) List of core subject is given in Table 2. These courses impart basic engineering
knowledge, teach them analysis of the problem and way to tackle those. In advanced
level courses they learn to analyse complex engineering problems apply basic
knowledge and find solutions. During project work they learn to conduct
investigation of complex problems. They also learn to use equipments, which are
computer controlled and use modern IT tools for communication, date processing and
presentation. These courses also focus on environmental issue related to depletion of
mineral resources and effect of metal production on environment. During project
work they learn to take instructions from supervisor, work in team, prepare reports
and present their findings. This is how the courses

(b) Describe how the core engineering subjects in the curriculum are giving the
learning experience with the complex engineering problems (50)

There many courses which introduce students to complex engineering problems in

field of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. Few important ones are highlighted
here. MML 214: Theory and Technology of Heat-treatment students learn about
complexities of heat-treatment and quality control involved in heat-treatment of
metals and alloys, and learn to solve them. In MML373: Ferrous extraction
metallurgy, MML375:Steeel making technology, MML 477: Secondary and special
steel making processes, and MML487: Continous casting of steels, the complexities
involved in production as well as in quality control are discussed and taught. In
MML203: Engineering Physical metallurgy, MML383: Light metals and alloys,
Alloy steel and high temperature alloys and MML471: Structural metallurgy, they are
taught the basics as well as complications that may arise in structure of metals and
alloys and subsequent loss of properties and failure. In MML 382: Solidification
processing and advanced foundry technology, MML475:Joining of materials, and
MML489: Surface engineering they learn as to how complex situation arise during
solidification and undesirable microstructure is produced. Then they learn to analyse
it and solve the problems. In courses like MMP378:Wear of engineering materials
and MML472 Environmental degradation of metallic materials they learn as to how
complex operating conditions make it difficult to predict life of components and how
to deal with it. In courses like, MML480: Fracture mechanics and MML486: Failure
Analysis, they learn as to how failure take place and as to how to analyse them. In all
above mentioned course industrial situation and operating conditions are discussed
and need for research is highlighted.

49
3.4. Industry interaction/internship (10) :
(Give the details of industry involvement in the programme such as industry-attached
laboratories and partial delivery of courses and internship opportunities for students)
The industry especially our alumni in industry are actively involved. Currently the system
of internship is not operational.

3.5. Curriculum Development (15)

3.5.1. State the process for designing the programme curriculum (5)

1. The program curriculum is designed based on the kind of job a MME

student shall have to do in industry. To begin with various MME
industries are enlisted then their knowledge and skill requirements are
enlisted and then the curriculum is designed
2. It also takes into account, syllabus of GATE, so that our students are
encouraged to undertake higher studies and research.
3. Inputs are also taken informally from alumni.
4. A member from industry is nominated the BOS in MME, so that his inputs
are considered in framing and modifying syllabus.
5. A Professor from IIT is also nominated to BOS in MME so that his inputs
are taken in framing and modifying syllabus of courses and to know any
changes they have made.
This is how all stake holders are consulted to decide the curriculum and syllabus.
(Describe the process that periodically documents and demonstrates how the
programme curriculum is evolved considering the PEOs and the POs)

3.5.2. Illustrate the measures and processes used to improve courses and curriculum
(10)
The course coordinators identify new portion to be included and obsolete
portion to be dropped by continuously updating themselves. They visit industries and
refer various publications to know about new technologies/industrial practices
developed.

The curriculum is periodically updated by course coordinators. The updated

curriculum is discussed in Board of Studies of Metallurgical and Materials
Engineering and accepted. Then it is submitted to Senate for approval.

(Articulate the process involved in identifying the requirements for improvements in

courses and curriculum and provide the evidence of continuous improvement of
courses and curriculum)

3.6. Course Syllabi (5)

(Include, in appendix, a syllabus for each course used. Syllabi format should be
consistent and shouldn’t exceed two pages.)

The syllabi format may include:

 Department, course number, and title of course
 Designation as a required or elective course
 Pre-requisites

8.6. Incubation facility (5)

107
(Instruction: Specify the details of incubation facility in terms of capacity, utilisation

Center for Innovation- VNIT Nagpur (CIVN), a section 25 (non-profit) company is

set up to promote innovation and entrepreneurship by converting and translating
technology ideas and innovation in various disciplines of science and engineering
into products, processes and services for commercial exploitation and the benefit of
society.

Thus, CIVN came into existence in 2012 to administer the technology incubator and
accelerate the growth of entrepreneurship in VNIT campus and people of the region.

CIVN under assistance of Rajiv Gandhi Science and Technology Commission

Government of Maharashtra (RGSTC) runs and manages a Technology Incubator
(TI) at VNIT, Nagpur to facilitate incubation of new enterprises with innovative
technologies by admitting them in TI and providing them physical, technical and
networking supports and services.

VNIT has been carrying research in cutting edge technologies which have potential
to generate large amount of wealth, provided the gap between research and
commercialization of the research output is bridged. Center for Innovation is able to
address this gap by providing platform for the entrepreneurs to setup high wealth
generating industries in Maharashtra using such cutting edge research.

Industry Institute Interaction Cell (III) at VNIT has been active since inception in
1993. It has established linkages with local industry, industry associations, and Govt.
Departments in the promotion of technology. The technology developed in the
laboratories can be used for development of new products and services.

VNIT would like to support a thriving and knowledge based business community in
the Vidarbha area. We expect CIVN to produce responsible business enterprises
and entrepreneurial leadership that will not only make a valuable contribution to the
local economy, but also increase awareness in the region about a highly
productive carrier option available.

The concept has already been accepted for implementation by the Governing Body
of the Institute. A beginning has already been made in Electronics Engineering
Deptt. and other departments shall follow soon. The basic details as currently
approved are as follows:
Good infrastructure with common office facilities, computers, internet access,

8.9.2 Games and Sports-General

Research indicates that regular physical education, included in curriculum, produces

physical, psychological, and intellectual benefits. Physical education may help
prevent degenerative disease, improve overall physical condition, maintain
emotional balance, promote a sense of social effectiveness, contribute to academic

116
performance, and establish positive recreation habits. Therefore, physical education
must be supported as an integral part of comprehensive education.
Sports and Games are essentials components of Human Resource Development,
holding to promote good health, comradeship and spirit of healthy competition,
which in turn, has positive and deep impact on the holistic development of the
personality of the youth who is a potential source of energy, enthusiasm and
inspiration for development, progress and prosperity of the nation.
Further, excellence in sports enhances the sense of achievements, national pride and
patriotism. Sports being practical way of education facilitate beneficial recreation,
improve productivity, foster social harmony inculcating sense of discipline and
dedication in general life. Sports give a strong message of peace, friendship and
understanding among the people of participants. Today, sports are prime need in a
civilized society, as it helps to promote national integration, emotional integrity and
professional intellect among the participants.
According to UNESCO General Conference (1978) Article 1; which advocates that
practice of physical education and sport is a fundamental right for all:
Every human being has a fundamental right of access to physical education and
sport, which are essential for the full development of his personality. The freedom to
develop physical, intellectual and moral powers through physical education and sport
must be guaranteed both within the educational system and in other aspects of social
life.
Every one must have full opportunities, in accordance with his national tradition of
sport, for practicing physical education and sport, developing his physical fitness and
attaining a level of achievement in sport which corresponds to his gifts.
The Article 2; further endorse that Physical education and sport form an essential
element of lifelong education in the overall education system:
2.1 Physical education and sport, as an practice of sports must be ensured throughout
life by means of a global, lifelong and democratized education.
2.2 At the individual level, physical education and sport contribute to the essential
dimension of education and culture, must develop the abilities, will-power and self-
discipline of every human being as a fully integrated member of society. The
continuity of physical activity and the maintenance and improvement of health,
provide a wholesome leisure-time occupation and enable man to overcome the
drawbacks of modern living. At the community level, they enrich social relations
and develop fair play, which is essential not only to sport itself but also to life in
society.
2.3 Every overall education system must assign the requisite place and importance to
physical education and sport in order to establish a balance and strengthen links
between physical activities and other components of education.

National Institutions play a major role in physical education and sport.

It is essential that public authorities at all levels and specialized non-governmental
bodies encourage those physical education and sport activities whose educational
value is most evident. Their action shall consist enforcing legislation and regulations,
providing material assistance and adopting all other measures of encouragement,
stimulation and control. The public authorities will also ensure that such fiscal
measures are adopted as may encourage these activities.

117
It is incumbent on all institutions responsible for physical education and sport to
promote a consistent, overall and decentralized plan of action in the framework of
lifelong education so as to allow for continuity and co-ordination between
compulsory physical activities and those practiced freely and spontaneously.
Thus in tune with above ideology, the faculties of Physical Education at this institute
exploit all the possible dimensions of physical education & sports through the
variety of activities in our Institute:
01) Physical Education is an audit course at the institute and they are taught sports
skills, strategic preparation, and tactical preparation. Faculties of physical education
work to increase the physical fitness of first year students (more than 750 in number)
through various physical fitness programs. Apart from this teaching on play fields,
they are also taught Physiological, Psychological, Sociological and Emotional
aspects associated with sports and physical activities through talks and seminars.
02) Health club facilities are also provided to the students where they practice
various health related Gymnasium activities in the allotted Morning and Evening
hours under the guidance of a trained coach.
03) Sports medicine Research Lab: Physiological parameters related with physical
fitness of staff and students are also examined through Sports Medicine Lab
equipments. Suitable Physical Fitness programs are advised to the students as well as
staff members of the institute after evaluating their physical fitness. Overweight and
underweight students are also given appropriate weight gain and weight loss
programs by the faculties of physical education.
04) Coaching facilities are also made available to the students selected by
conducting the selection trials of various games. Specialized Coaches are appointed
to train the students going to participate in various in Inter-NIT Tournaments.
05) Another attractive sporting activity is the Institute Gathering which is organized
every year by the students under the supervision of the Physical Education section.
This is an event, where various inter-departmental sports activities are conducted
with overwhelming response where the participants are students institute teaching
and non-teaching staff.
Participation of students in different games
The Institute encourages the students by exposing them to various Inter-NIT
tournaments and also in local inter-collegiate tournaments. All the selected students
are motivated by providing them with track suits and playing kits. Blazers are
provided to all the student council members of the institute as a token of appreciation

Participation in All India Inter NIT Tournaments:

Through All India Inter NIT Tournament a student can exhibit his/ her talent in front

Local Tournaments:
The Institute also understands the importance of local tournaments and exposes the
students in various local tournaments whenever it is possible as per the Academic
Calendar. This year the Institute participated in Dr. Punjabrao Deshmukh Sports
Festival in the disciplines of Cricket, Basketball and Football tournament.
Krik Mania:
Through this Invitational 50 limited over Cricket Tournament a platform is provided
to the upcoming Cricketers of local colleges. Since last 22 years through this
particular event students of the institute are learning various skills of organizing a
sporting event under the guidance of Physical Education department. In present
edition of Krik Mania Dr. Ambedkar College, Nagpur won the tournament by
defeating the Dhanwate National College, Nagpur where as our institute team
reached up to S/F.
Intramural and Krida Diwas( National Sports Day):
It is very important to provide maximum participation to the student community in
sports, to keep the overall atmosphere of the institute healthy and sporting. Through
this event students get all the opportunities to interact with each other and explore
their hidden talent in sports. With this point of view and to encourage sports, the
Physical Education Section celebrates the birth anniversary of the great Hockey
legend Major Dhyanchand on 29th of August every year. This year following sports

119
were organized under Annual Intramural program: Football, Cricket, Volleyball,
Throw ball, Kho-Kho Table-Tennis, Kabaddi and Chess. This year’s Krida Diwas
was inaugurated by honorable Director of the institute, Dr. N. Chaudhary , all the
students were distributed sweets on this occasion.
The objective of organizing such events in the campus is to involve the engineering
students in some physical activities and teach them sportsmanship, team spirit and
help them in socialization through sports activities. The Biggest advantage of
organizing such event, especially for the first year B. Tech. students is that every
student of the first year know each other. It also helps to provide solid platform for
their healthy social relationship throughout their academic course; students also learn
skills of organization, administration, officiating and coaching.
Medical examination:
Medical Examination is compulsory for all the first year B. Tech. /B. Arch. students
in first semester itself. This examination is done by our Medical Officer Dr. S. Batra.
and his team with the coordination of Physical Education section. This particular
examination provides the data of students with postural deformities, obesity,
underweight, stress, hypertension and some other medical problems. Thus with
readily available data such students are provided individualized suitable physical
fitness program.
Physical Efficiency Test:
Physical Fitness is an ability to carry out the daily tasks of the job with vigor and
alertness, without undue fatigue, with ample energy to engage in leisure time
pursuits and to meet the above average physical stresses in emergency situations.
The Physical Efficiency of every first year B. Tech. / B. Arch. students is measured
by applying suitable tests of Physical Fitness. Components such as abdominal
strength, respiratory endurance, flexibility of hip joint & hamstring muscles and
speed are measured. PET is an important tool through which a student can know
about his/ her physical efficiency as they have to perform all the below mention tests
in one day itself. All the students they appreciate this unique physical activity as it
helps them to know their capability to do strenuous job tasks.

Overweight and obesity in the youth is on increase. It is the result of physical
inactivity, and cause for poor physical fitness. It also carries high risk of developing
chronic diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, heart trouble, joint problems etc. in
the peak of their career.
On the basis of students identified through Medical Examination having postural
deformities, overweight and underweight; a week long integrated program during
second week of January 2015 by the team of Physician, Physiotherapist, Dietician,

DR Peshwe AD Chopde JG Bhatt YY Mahajan

1. Action taken report on minutes of meeting held on 3/2/10: Head informed that Rs.
1,20,000/- have been sanctioned for purchase of chemicals. He also informed that BoS
has to decide OC and HM course for MME students as soon as possible so that a proposal
could be put up before senate for consideration. Dr. VK Didolkar informed that OC Rural
Technology students had not attended 8.00 AM class on 17th, he also informed that he
could not yet sent a note for students through respective HOD. He was asked to send
notice immediately. About course revamp and preparing scheme of examination, Head
informed the house that TOR was sent by email, there is no response from anybody
therefore he has invited, by email, choices of subjects and interest; so that a group of
interested persons can be made. He requested all to give him this information within a
week. About data on Dept. Website, Head informed that individual faculty can upload
relevant information by himself. Prof. DRP advised YYM to discuss with Mr. Ashish
Tiwari and if needed send the Thesis Abstract data to him. About conducting experiments
in few subjects; it was general opinion that there very little scope of introducing
laboratory experiments in those subjects. Prof. DV Moghe informed that in IIT Bombay
students perform software simulated experiments in TP lab. Head suggested that Dept.
should explore possibility of tie-up with Heat Transfer lab of Dept. of Mech. Engg. Prof
SUP mentioned that very good design problems are solved in laboratory turns of
SP&AFT, however, it can be supplemented with visit to local industries. Prof. AR Ballal
informed that after breakdown of rolling machine, even that experiment cannot be
performed. Head requested the concerned faculties to work out if few experiments can be
designed and, if yes, then enlist required equipments/instruments.
2. Child care leave of Mrs. Seema R. Naikwade: After refusing CCL to Mrs. SRN, through
a confidential note Director has requested HoD to reconsider her application for a period
of 21/2/11 to 18/3/11. The note mentions that sincere efforts shall be made to provide
replacement during her absence, as desired by the Dept. Head apprised about his personal
meeting with Director and proposed that as the LA is in dire need of leave, let us
recommend as requested by Director. If a replacement is provided then it is fine, if not
then we will have to adjust as many labs we can with existing staff and other labs can be
conducted on extra turns on return of the LA. All agreed to this proposal.
3. Content of various courses: All were requested to review the course content of courses of
their interest or also the content of the course they would like to tech in near future.
4. Choices of the courses for next year: All are requested to submit their choices of subjects
for next year (both the semesters) by 23rd Feb.

199
5. Students' feedback: RKK has worked out the feedback summery. It was circulated and all
have noted it.
6. Matter of two LAs not making tensile specimens: No senior faculty had discussed with
LAs their difficulties in this respect. Head said that it is high time for us to ask for a
person with proper skills transferred to the Dept. from amongst the existing staff of other
Departments of VNIT. He also said that he will press for getting LA Mr. Manapure
transferred back to Dept. Prof. DV Moghe pointed out that this should not lead to transfer
of Mrs. V Patankar. Head said that he would report her inability but will not ask for her
transfer from Dept.
7. Transfer of supporting staff including Sr. Assistant: The Director has invited suggestions
regarding transfer of supporting staff. It was decided to request for good persons.
8. Display of 1st sessional marks and attendance: Valuation of almost all courses is over.
9. UG project dates: The final viva shall be conducted on 29-30th April and students shall
submit their thesis by 15th April.
10. Any other point:
a. Prof. DVM pointed out that all other departments are opened at 8.00 AM by
supporting staff, we should also do so. Head pointed out that we had to adopt
present practice due to dodgy behavior of Mr. Ambalwar. So long he is in Dept.
faculty members will have to open class rooms at 8.00 AM. As soon as, we get a
good hand, we will get back to old practice. Until then please bear with this
practice.
b. Prof. DVM informed that two companies namely, Stollberg and Vesuvius are
coming in 1st week of March. Prof DR Peshwe informed that Diffusion Engineers
are coming on 1st March. Head informed that Nelcast wish to come little later
instead of coming on 21st March; and they need a contact person at VNIT as they
are coming for the first time. Prof. DR Peshwe agreed to help them out.

 1. Action taken report on earlier faculty meeting.
Choices of subjects for next year have been received but syllabus of subjects has not yet
been received. All were requested to expedite it. About transfer of Mrs. V Patankar,
Head informed that she had asked for transfer saying that she is repeatedly asked to do
heavy, industrial, mechanical and hazardous work. She is temporary posted to Chemical
Engineering Dept. Interview for Technician/Machinist were conducted (committee
recommended three persons in the list 1st-Machinist, 2nd -Diploma-Met. and 3rd -
Diploma-Mech.) but no appointment has been done so far, as it is not considered to be a
replacement for Mrs. Patankar.
2. Modification in Scheme of Examination and to decide date of next BOS meeting: In
view of DE to be permitted in place of OC, scheme of examination will require some
modification. Besides all the schemes (complete with Syllabus) are to be submitted for
Senate's approval. All were requested to send soft copy of syllabus for compilation to
[Link]@[Link] . All agreed that the BOS meeting for the purpose would
be held on 31st March. It was decided that during 28-30th March in the afternoon, the
scheme will be discussed and changes as suggested shall be incorporated. Head
requested all to participate in the exercise, so that a workable scheme can be prepared
for BOS meeting on 31st March 2011.
3. Next Class Committee meeting: It is decided to hold next Class Committee meeting
on 7th April.
4. Any other point with permission of Chair:
 Feed Back form: SGS, DVM, VKD and RVT shall co-ordinate this activity for 4th, 6th,
8th Sem. B. Tech.(MME) and 2nd Sem. M. Tech.(ME) batches, respectively.
 Prof. DVM pointed out the necessity to be strict about attendance. Head clarified that
the matter of attendance and detention is exclusively between student and teacher.
Students have been given enough warnings and as such 100% attendance is expected.
So it is student’s responsibility if he/she has less attendance and is detained.
 Absentee test: There is no provision of absentee test in academic calendar. It is
entirely up to the teacher to take absentee test/viva or not.
 Marks distribution for courses with 3-0-2 load and 8 credits shall be 3:1 (i.e. 75 for
Theory and 25 for Lab).
