TKM College of Engineering, the first Government-aided engineering college in

Kerala, is situated in the cashew hub of Kerala, the city of Kollam. The college
was established by Janab Thangal Kunju Musaliar, a magnanimous name that
rings loud in the educational, economic and socio-cultural development of the
city of Kollam. An ace entrepreneur and a great visionary, he set his own life as
an example of sheer determination, hard work, courage and leadership. In 1950,
while at the peak of his business career, Janab Musaliar foresaw the tremendous
importance of education in the years to come. This thought paved way for the
formation of TKM Educational Trust in 1956. The trust has the heritage of
holding up firmly the values of the late Musaliar. The college is the first and
foremost institution for technical education, run by the TKM College Trust,
headed by Janab Shahal Hassan Musaliar. The trust established institutions such
as TKM College of Engineering, TKM Institute of Technology, TKM College of
Arts and Sciences, TKM Institute of Management, TKM School of
Communication and Information Technology, TKM Centenary Public School,
TKM Higher Secondary School, and recently the TKM School of Architecture.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Independent India, laid the foundation
stone for the college in 1956. The college was formally inaugurated by Prof.
Humayun Kabir, the then Minister for Scientific and Cultural Affairs,
Government of India in 1958. At its start, the college began its stride with the
three basic branches of engineering – Civil, Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering. Today it is a renowned technical institution in India, offering
courses in eight branches of engineering at under graduate level and seven
courses at post-graduate level. It is also an approved research centre for
Mechanical and Civil Engineering. It is supported by about 375 eminent staff
members; teaching and non-teaching, and about 800 students are admitted every
year in various disciplines. The college is affiliated to the University of Kerala
and APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and is approved by the All
India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi.
As envisaged by its founder, TKM College of Engineering has become an
outstanding centre of excellence in Kerala, catering to the needs of higher
education to all sections of society and stands as an example of a model learning
centre. The main objective of TKM College of Engineering is to provide value-
based education to its students and to develop the overall personality of the
students by enhancing their creativity, self-confidence, communication and
leadership skills. The College is very pleased to submit this Self Study Report
(SSR) for National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) Assessment.

substantiate through specific example(s).
The institution meticulously plans for effective implementation of the
curriculum. The process is given below:

 In the beginning of the academic semester, the college prepares an academic

calendar (semester-wise academic schedule) comprising the entire schedule
for the semester. This is followed by an academic budget which enlists the
academic programs for the respective semester with a budget planning. The
College Planning Committee (CPC) scrutinizes and approves the programs
listed and is forwarded to the Principal for necessary allocation of funds to
individual departments.

 Before the end of current semester, the subjects for next semester from
curriculum are given to the faculty. The subject priorities of faculty are
presented before the Department Academic Committee (DAC) and approved.
Options are given to students for selecting the elective subject, which in turn is
consolidated by the Senior Advisor and presented to DAC.

 The opted subjects are allocated to faculty based on their field of

specialization, number of times subjects taught and experience.

 In the beginning of each semester, a course plan is prepared. The concerned

faculty for each subject prepares a detailed lesson plan, giving the units of the
syllabus and proposed date of completion of the unit. It also provides
information about the text books to be followed and the books for reference.

 A schedule for internal assessments is also prepared (internal assessment

schedule) and distributed to students so as to avoid clustering of assessments
during a particular period.

 The academic calendar and schedule of internal assessment are uploaded in

Eazy Campus (campus management software) and can be easily accessed by
the students.

TKMCE/SSR Page 26
  Course files are prepared and maintained by the faculty which includes
syllabus, course plan, teaching materials such as tutorials, assignments,
internal test question papers, previous year University question papers etc.

 Laboratory manuals are prepared incorporating detailed procedures for

conducting of experiments.

 Apart from regular classes, seminars are conducted to enhance the

presentation and communication skills of students.

 Academic Committee prepares academic calendar and monitors the

functioning of course committee and class committees.

 The course committee monitors the conduct of the courses, adherence to the
course plans and time schedule, completion of the syllabus, standards of
internal tests, evaluation process and take suitable remedial actions regarding
the conduct of the course.

various courses and scrutinizes the question papers submitted for continuous
evaluation.

 The class committee monitors the conduct of all the courses, overall
performance of the students, faculty feedback, placements and industrial visits,
and other grievances faced by the students and take suitable remedial actions
at the appropriate time.

 For weaker students, remedial classes are conducted after the college working
hours.

 Mid-term and end term faculty evaluations are taken from students and
analysis is carried out for enhancing the teaching skills of the faculty.

 Attendance of the students is accessible to the parents through college website.

 The progress of the final year projects is monitored regularly and the progress
report is maintained by the respective guide/project coordinator.

 Stock verification of laboratories is done to identify instruments which require

repair or are obsolete.

TKMCE/SSR Page 27
  Finally, at the end of each semester, University examinations are conducted to
evaluate knowledge of students in the subjects.

1.1.3 What type of support (procedural and practical) do the teachers receive
(from the University and/or institution) for effectively translating the
curriculum and improving teaching practices?
The Institute/University provides its fullest support by providing all the
facilities required by the teachers for effectively translating the curriculum and
improving teaching practices.

 The University provides syllabus for each course, guidelines for practical’s
and books for references, which help teachers in proper understanding the
layout of their subject. Examination schedules will be displayed on the website
of the University. Based on this, curriculum can be planned effectively
through course plans.

 The institute encourages the faculty members to participate in national and

international seminars, FDPs and workshops for enhancing their
knowledge.Further, in-house workshops, seminars and discussions are further
organized to disseminate the inputs derived from the above orientation and
refresher programmes. FDPs and expert lectures in specified areas are also
conducted.

 Faculty members are also deputed for higher studies under QIP in top-ranking
Institutes like IITs/NITs.

 In case new subjects are introduced by the University, eminent persons are
invited for enlightening the teachers by conducting workshops. The University
organizes curriculum revision workshops and teachers are invited to
participate and express their views.

 The institute provides smart classrooms and internet facility in the campus for
effective teaching.

 Teachers are appraised and guided through regular faculty meetings. The
issues regarding the distribution of workload, organization of programmes,
workshops, students’ activities are discussed for the effective implementation
of the curriculum. New teaching/pedagogical strategies to be adopted are
formulated based on the result of previous examinations and academic status
of newly enrolled students.

 Massive renovation of the college infrastructure as well as the up-gradation of

laboratory facilities in the recent years ensures that no impediments remain in
the way of efficient teaching.

1.1.7 Does the institution develop curriculum for any of the courses offered
(other than those under the purview of the affiliating university) by it? If
‘yes’, give details on the process (‘Needs Assessment’, design, development
and planning) and the courses for which the curriculum has been
developed.
No. The institution does not develop curriculum for courses that are not under
the purview of the affiliating University.

1.1.8 How does institution analyze/ensure that the stated objectives of curriculum
are achieved in the course of implementation?
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) and Program Outcomes (POs) are
defined at the department level. At the beginning of the semester, faculty
prepares course objectives and Course Outcomes (COs). In the course plan,
COs are mapped with POs. For internal assessments two ‘series tests’ are

TKMCE/SSR Page 40
 conducted in a semester for each course. After first internal assessment test,
the students scoring less mark are identified as slow learners and additional
coaching is provided to cope-up with the subject and ensure understanding of
the subject.
I. Direct Assessment: The programme is credit based with continuous
evaluation. The internal continuous evaluation is conducted by the faculty
handling the respective courses. The assessment tools utilized for various
types of courses are mentioned below:
 Theory courses:
 Assignments
 Internal Tests
 End Semester University Examination

 Practical Course
 Lab class performance
 Lab internal examination
 End semester University lab examination

 Project/Seminar/Industrial visits
 Preparation and presentation of reports.

Assignments: Evaluates the students’ CO attainment level and gives them an

opportunity to enhance their self learning capability of applying knowledge and
exploring the most recent developments.
Internal Tests: Two internal tests (series tests) are conducted for each course.
The question papers include both short answer and descriptive/problem solving
type questions for duration of two hours. Questions are mapped with the COs so
as to enable assessment of CO attainment.
Laboratory class performance: The assessment of lab work evaluates the
students’ ability to conduct experiments, document and analyse data, arrive at
valid conclusions and interpret the results. This is documented through the rough
and fair records maintained by the students. Lab experiments help students to
work effectively as an individual and as a member of a team.
Laboratory Examinations: At the end of each lab course, an internal lab
examination is conducted, to assess the knowledge and skills obtained by the
students in the lab course. A viva-voce examination (oral test) is also conducted.
After the completion of the semester, examination will be conducted for each lab
by the University. The performance of student for this examination is evaluated
by a team of two faculties; one from the parent institution (internal examiner) and
the other from another institution (external examiner),both nominated by the
University.

TKMCE/SSR Page 41
 University Examination: At the end of every semester, University examinations
for a maximum marks of 100 and duration of three hours is conducted covering
the entire syllabus. Assessment of the answer scripts is carried out by competent
faculty appointed by the University. For each course, the University assigns
grades to the students by credit based system in a 10 point scale, considering the
total marks obtained in the University examination and internal assessment
marks. Based on the grade obtained by the student in a course and credit of that
course, a grade point average (GPA) is assigned to the student in each semester.
The GPA obtained by the student in various semesters is finally combined to get
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at the end of the programme.
The details of the scheme of assessment for Core/Elective Courses /Lab courses
are shown in Table 1.1.7 and Table 1.1.8

 Internal Evaluation of Seminar Course:
The evaluation is carried out during the seventh and eighth semesters, by a team
comprising of two/three faculty members. The evaluation is based on the ability
to prepare and present a new relevant topic. During the presentation the response
of the student to technical questions, time management and the ability to motivate
the audience to follow his/her presentation is also assessed. Preparation of
seminar report is also a key factor for evaluation.

Internal Evaluation of Project Course:

The progress of project work is reviewed weekly by the project guide during the
project period. Evaluation of project work will be carried out based on a three
stage evaluation process. The approval of the topic and its preliminary evaluation
are carried out in the seventh semester. The progress of the project work is
evaluated during the interim evaluation and final assessment is done in the eighth
semester. The project work will be evaluated by a team comprising of a project
guide and a subject specific faculty team.
Viva-voce Exam:
The viva-voce is conducted towards the end of the programme by a team
comprising of members of faculty from the parent institute (internal examiner)
and another institute (external examiner). The quantum of knowledge (academic
and non academic) acquired by the student during the programme is measured.
II) Indirect Assessment: The Course exit surveys, Alumni surveys, Employer
surveys, Programme exit survey etc. are the tools employed for indirect
assessment.
Course Exit Survey:
The exit survey is conducted at the end of each course. The questionnaire for the
survey is prepared based on the course outcomes of respective courses. The
indirect assessment of the course is based on survey which uses a Likert scale of
5 levels (3 for Strongly Agree, 2 for Agree, 0 for Neutral, -2 for Disagree and -3
for Strongly disagree.)
Alumni survey:
The performance of alumni in their profession is a valuable indicator of
achievement of Programme Educational Objective (PEO). Alumni surveys are
conducted by setting questionnaires that are suitable for validating the
accomplishment of PEOs.
Employer survey:
The best method to evaluate the performance of graduates is to collect the
response from their employers. So employer surveys are conducted by setting
questions which are oriented towards the evaluation of attainment of PEOs.
Students are also taken to industries so that they will have firsthand knowledge
on the practical applications of the concepts they have learnt in the class rooms.
Industrial experts are also invited to give lectures on certain important topics of
the curriculum.

working time of the college.

2.3.10 Does the institution face any challenges in completing the curriculum
within the planned time frame and calendar? If “yes”, elaborate on the
challenges encountered and the institutional approaches to overcome
these.
Yes, as the institution is not an autonomous/ residential institute, some of the normal
working days are affected by unexpected regional strikes or government declared
holidays. The institution compensates the same by arranging class hours during
weekends and beyond the regular working hours.

2.3.11 How does the institute monitor and evaluate the quality of teaching-
learning ?
Faculty evaluation by students is conducted twice in a semester; at the middle and end
of the semester; through Eazy Campus software. This data is used to evaluate the
effectiveness of teaching. This data is monitored by the faculty, HoD and Principal.
Feedback is collected from students on various subjects and discussed in Class
Committee (CC) meetings, which consist of advisors, faculty handling the subjects
and the student representatives. This help to improve the teaching-learning process.
The IQAC/DQAC monitors the quality of course delivery, the quality of question
papers of internal assessment (assignments, internal tests, etc.) and the conduct of lab
sessions. The cell also ensures whether the topics are delivered as per the course plan
for every subject.
To evaluate the learning process, the methods prescribed by the University are
followed. In addition to such evaluation methods, Course Outcomes (CO) are also
evaluated for every subject. This CO evaluation in turn will help to achieve
Programme Outcomes (POs). POs are evaluated based on specified rubrics. This
evaluation is coordinated by the respective programme coordinators of each
department. Course exit surveys are conducted at the end of a semester to assess the
COs which help to make necessary changes in COs of every subject.
Feedback from stakeholders, alumni surveys and employer surveys also help to
improve the teaching-learning process.

2.4.2 How does the institution cope with the growing demand/ scarcity of
qualified senior faculty to teach new programmes/ modern areas (emerging
areas) of study being introduced (Biotechnology, IT, Bioinformatics etc.)?
Provide details on the efforts made by the institution in this direction and
the outcome during the last three years.
As of now there is no dearth of faculty in the institute. When a new topic/subject is
introduced in the curriculum, faculty members are nominated for special training
sessions (e.g., for the course “Introduction to Sustainable Engineering”- a course in
first semester, training was given to the staff members) equipping them to meet with
such challenges. Faculty members are deputed for higher studies like M.Tech/Ph.D.
and encouraged to take up research projects. The faculty members who undergo
training come forward to offer allied elective courses and projects for UG/PG
programmes. They set up new laboratories (example, Nanotechnology Lab, VLSI lab
etc) for inculcating the research interest in modern areas of study. During the last
three years, a number of faculty development programmes in emerging areas of study
were organized by the institute, under the sponsorship of TEQIP II. Many invited
lectures are organized in the institution under Institute Industry Interaction Cell and
MoUs are signed with many industries/scientific/research organizations. Faculty
members are encouraged to visit foreign Universities and research laboratories, which
results in collaborative research works. TKM College of Engineering is an approved
research centre of the affiliating university. The institution is recognized as a QIP
centre by the AICTE since 2012.

of the teaching-learning process?
The institute has an effective system for evaluation of teachers by students. The
process is done through the online campus management software, named ‘Eazy
Campus’. The students are directed to perform the evaluation process twice in a
semester- one immediately after the first internal exam and the second one at the end
of the semester. Based on the index obtained and comments of students, the respective
HoDs and academic coordinator assess the evaluation index of individual faculty and
give them suggestions for improvement. The report compiled by HoD is passed to the
Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of the institute. They come up with
policies/suggestions for the improve the quality of teaching. Remedial measures are
taken and faculty members are advised and nominated for trainings on pedagogy and
trainings on recent advancements in various courses.
2.5 Evaluation Process and Reforms

2.5.1 How does the institution ensure that the stakeholders of the institution
especially students and faculty are aware of the evaluation processes?

suggested by the concerned Universities. The stake holders are made aware of these
processes through the following measures:
 Mentioned in handbook of the Institute

 Published in Institute website (www.tkmce.ac.in)

 Highlighted during orientation programmes at the beginning of course.

 Reiterated during class committee meetings and PTA meetings

 Evaluation process is continuously discussed during departmental meetings of

faculty members

 Marks of internal assessments are generated based on the entries done in the
online campus management software, Eazy Campus. The entries and the
internal assessment marks can be viewed by faculty members, students and
parents.

TKMCE/SSR Page 82
2.5.2 What are the major evaluation reforms of the University that the institution
has adopted and what are the reforms initiated by the institution on its
own?
TKM College of Engineering has been affiliated with the University of Kerala since
1958. The engineering batch running from 2015 has been affiliated to KTU. The
institute follows the evaluation procedures prescribed by the respective Universities.
The Kerala University introduces reforms every 5 years. In 2008, Kerala University
introduced in its scheme, the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) method of
evaluation, which the university has been following in the 2013 scheme as well.
The institute has made its own reforms in the evaluation process in the college level
as well. The institute is presently following outcome based evaluation of various
Graduate Attributes. For this, the institute has specified POs based on the 12 Graduate
Attributes suggested by National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The individual
departments in the institute utilize unique set of rubrics also for assessing individual
POs.

2.5.3 How does the institution ensure effective implementation of the evaluation
reforms of the University and those initiated by the institution on its own?
TKM College of Engineering plays a major role in the evaluation procedure based on
the reforms of the University examinations. This institution is a centre for valuation of
the examinations of Kerala University. The institution participates meticulously in the
process in a systematic manner, as prescribed by the University.
The faculty members of this institution also serve multiple roles in the University as
Members of Board of Studies, Faculty of Engineering and Technology,
Syllabus/Curriculum/Question paper setters, Chairman of Examinations, Chief
Examiners, Additional Examiners, Examiners in-Charge of scrutiny/revaluation of
answer books etc. The service of our faculty in the above mentioned capacities helps
the University to bring reforms in curriculum and the evaluation procedures
periodically.
When the affiliation changed to KTU, the institution incorporated infrastructural
reforms, in order to meet the requirements prescribed by the University.
The institute further attempts reform in its internal evaluation process by verifying the
attainment of specified graduate attributes in our students through a specific
procedure, from the academic session of 2015-16. A rubrics training workshop was
conducted to enlighten the faculty members about the rubrics-based evaluation and
formulation of rubrics for the assessment of the Programme outcomes of all
departments. The Department Academic Coordinators are entrusted to collect and
consolidate the results from the faculty members.

2.5.4 Provide details on the formative and summative assessment approaches

adopted to measure student achievement. Cite a few examples which have
positively impacted the system.
During the programme, for every course, the students are subjected to various
Continuous Assessment (CA) procedures, namely, assignments, quizzes, tutorials and
class seminars that are evaluated by the faculty-in-charge. Two internal examinations
(Series Tests) are also conducted in a semester. Total marks awarded for internal
assessment is 50, and the division of marks is given in Table 2.5.1. At the end of

TKMCE/SSR Page 83
every semester, students are further evaluated by the University Exam (summative
assessment) for maximum marks of 100. The total marks scored for a subject is taken
as 150, which is the sum of CA marks (50) and University Exam marks (100). The
CA marks for the individual subjects shall be computed by giving weightage to the
parameters as shown in Table 2.5.1

Table 2.5-1 Contribution of various parameters for CA marks calculation

Assignments/
Subject Attendance Tests (Series Tests)
Class Work
Theory 20% 50% 30%
Practical 20% 40% 40%

Many examples can be cited to underline the fact that the system followed by the
institute in the evaluation process has positively contributed to the improvement of
student performance.

 Students are given the advantage of appearing for remedial classes and makeup
tests to compensate for any shortage of marks.
 The Continuous Assessment (CA) procedure enlightens the faculty-in-charge
about the strengths and weaknesses of the class. This further helps the faculty to
suitably modify the course delivery measures.
 The students are evaluated for various graduate attributes as well. This helps to
identify the shortcomings in students and gives them an opportunity to improve
their skills through various activities.

 From the academic session of 2015-16, the institute has adopted assessment of
POs through a set of rubrics, developed for all the POs. This is a formative
assessment procedure and is utilized to evaluate the indices of achievement of
POs.

2.5.5 Detail on the significant improvements made in ensuring rigor and

transparency in the internal assessment during the last four years and
weightages assigned for the overall development of students (weightage for
behavioral aspects, independent learning, communication skills etc)
To ensure rigor and transparency in the internal assessment process, all the entries that
contribute to the marks for CA are systematically and periodically published in Eazy
Campus. The daily attendance in all courses is also entered by the respective faculty
members. These can be viewed by the staff, students, parents and administrative
faculty. Sessional mark review committee reviews the sessional marks of students at
the department and college levels. Any discrepancy can be brought to the notice of the
faculty-in-charge and the authorities of the institution so that the problem can be
rectified. At present the curriculum provides weightage for courses such as Language
Lab, life-skills, etc., to improve soft-skills. Students are also encouraged to take up
online courses, which enhance their independent learning capacity.

TKMCE/SSR Page 84
To evaluate the overall development of students, every department has developed
rubrics that can measure the attainment of various attributes like design skills,
communication skills, life-long learning etc. This is further explained in Section 2.5.6

2.5.6 What are the graduates attributes specified by the college/ affiliating
university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the
students?
All programmes of the institute follows Outcome Based Education (OBE). Every
programme has defined a list of programme outcomes which are developed based on
the Graduate Attributes specified by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), in
consultation with its stakeholders. For example: The graduate attributes specified for
the UG Programmes by NBA are:
1. Engineering Knowledge
2. Problem Analysis
3. Design & Development of Solutions
4. Investigation of Complex Problem
5. Modern Tools Usage
6. Engineer and Society
7. Environment & Sustainability
8. Ethics
9. Individual and Team work
10. Communication

To ensure the attainment of these programme outcomes the following assessment

procedure is adopted. Every course has a defined course outcomes which is mapped
with the program outcomes. Programmes have also developed unique set of rubrics
for assessing individual POs. Graduate exit surveys serves as an indirect method of
assessment. These methods together measure the attainment of the expected Program
Outcomes.

2.5.7 What are the mechanisms for redressal of grievances with reference to
evaluation both at the college and University level?
The institute has a grievance redressal mechanism that functions for the students and
faculty of the institute. A decentralized functioning is being effectively practiced in
the campus for grievance redressal. Majority of the grievances are taken care of by the
respective department. To take care of major grievances, a central grievances
redressal committee is also constituted which consists of members nominated by the
Principal. The composition of the Central Grievance Redressal Committees is given
below:
Convener: A Senior Professor
Members: Four faculty members including minimum one lady faculty.
Complaints regarding University valuation can be directly represented by the students
to the University. Errors, if any, in University question papers are also represented
and forwarded to the University through a proper channel. After evaluation, students
get an opportunity to apply for scrutiny and revaluation of their answer scripts in the
case of specific grievance.
Any grievance regarding the conduct and evaluation of internal tests can be
represented in the institute at various levels. The discrepancies related with internal
evaluation procedures, question papers not pertaining to syllabus, providing
insufficient data, etc. are adequately addressed by the faculty-in-charge and HoD.
Complaints and grievance regarding evaluation of examinations at the institute level
are duly addressed by the individual departments. If the students further have any
grievances, they can approach the Central Grievance Redressal Committee.

2.6 Student Performance and Learning Outcomes

2.6.1 Does the college have clearly stated learning outcomes? If “yes” give details
on how the students and staff are made aware of these?

TKMCE/SSR Page 86
Yes, the College has clearly framed the learning outcomes for its individual
departments based on the graduate attributes prescribed by the NBA, which are
known as Program Outcomes (POs).
The information about POs are made aware to the staff and students through displays
in laboratories, lab records and lab manuals, class room notice boards and college
website. In addition, these are frequently discussed in department meetings and class
committee meetings.

2.6.2 Enumerate on how the institution monitors and communicates the progress

programmes/courses offered.
Progress report indicating performance in internal assessment tests, assignments and
attendance of all students are uploaded in Eazy Campus. The students and parents can
get the details by visiting the website making use of their respective user IDs.
Progress reports including the University marks are sent to parents. Parents of
underperforming students are informed by the faculty advisor over phone and they are
directed to meet the HoD and the faculty handling classes. Class-wise PTA meetings
are held during each semester and steps to correct and improve performance of the
students are thoroughly discussed during the interaction among faculty advisor, HoD,
other staff members, parents and students. The same will be implemented and
progress is monitored.

consistent increase in pass percentage during the last four years.

2.6.3 How are the teaching, learning and assessment strategies of the institution
structured to facilitate the achievement of the intended learning outcomes?
In the beginning of the semester, the course plan is prepared by each faculty, which is
handed over to the students. In the course plan, detailed schedule and mode of
delivery of different modules of the course is given. Different modern delivery
methods such as web based learning, use of ICT (Information and Communication
Technologies) etc., are adopted along with conventional practices to deliver course
content.
In addition to the content in the syllabus, industrial/field visits, invited talks,
workshops, trainings etc, are arranged for the students. The students are exposed to
new learning strategies and are directed to submit reports/conduct seminars based on
the above.
The POs are measured through the assessment strategies prescribed by the University,
which are given in detail in section 2.5.4. In addition to that, the institute evaluates the
learning outcomes (POs) based on specified rubrics prepared for each programme.
The teaching-learning assessment strategies are monitored by Department Academic
Committee and PO coordinators. PO coordinators will identify specific courses in
each programme for evaluation of POs and the evaluation for its attainment is
monitored.

2.6.4 What are the measures/initiatives taken up by the institution to enhance the
social and economic relevance (quality jobs, entrepreneurship, innovation
and research aptitude) of the courses offered?
 Students are exposed to field problems like dam safety, waste management
issues etc., through field visits, thereby encouraging them to contribute
professionally in core engineering sectors.
 The Institute has an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Cell
(IEDC), which conducts entrepreneurship awareness programmes regularly
and encourages the students to launch innovative ideas. Students arrange
seminars, workshops, invited technical talks etc., under the aegis of IEDC.

TKMCE/SSR Page 88
  The different student chapters such as Bhoomitrasena Club, NSS, ISTE, IEEE,
STEPS etc., support students to identify the social issues and suggest
solutions.
 Students are encouraged to take up projects with social and economic
relevance by utilizing the knowledge acquired through the courses offered in
the programmes.
 To bring out the innovative ideas and research aptitude, students are
encouraged to conduct and participate in technical symposiums every
year.They are sponsored to participate, present and publish research papers in
international/ national conferences and journals.
 Students are encouraged to attend internships/industrial visits to make them
aware of the industrial practices and thereby enhance their employability.
 The Career Guidance and Placement Unit (CGPU) identify firms relevant to
the courses and train students according to their requirement. The students
thus get exposed to the relevance of their courses and thus help to grab quality
jobs.

2.6.5 How does the institution collect and analyze data on student learning
outcomes and use it for planning and overcoming barriers of learning?
The institute has a defined system to collect data on student learning outcomes. The
learning outcomes are assessed through internal test, assignments, tutorial etc.
Faculty-in-Charge of each course collects and keeps data for the learning outcomes.
Moreover, the teachers will be assessing the attainment of learning outcomes through
defined set of rubrics. The collected data will be analysed by the faculty and the DAC
and proper modifications are suggested if required.
Each faculty compute the Course Assessment Index (CAI) of the respective subjects
based on internal assesements and the University results. For each course, the result
analysis is carried out and compiled by DQAC. Based on result analysis, the
department identifies weak students and remedial coaching is given to them to
overcome the barriers of learning. The evaluation of teachers by students is also done
for every course through EazyCampus to identify flaws in teaching. This is also
analysed by the DQAC and steps are taken to improve course content delivery.
Course plans are periodically revised by the respective faculty to overcome the
barriers in learning.

2.6.6 How does the institution monitor and ensure the achievement of learning
outcomes?
Each course in the programme has defined learning outcomes which are termed as
course outcomes. The attainment of the course outcomes are assessed directly and
indirectly. The direct assessment involves tools such as series tests, class assignments
etc. and indirect assessment is through the course exit survey. The course attainment
index (CAI) evaluated by the faculty member is scrutinized by the respective subject
groups and the CAI value along with comments are forwarded to the DQAC. Based
on this DQAC gives suggestions for improvement, if any, to the concerned faculty
member.

Head of the Department, Department Academic Coordinator and Senior Advisor of

respective semesters strictly monitor the content delivery of each course and ensure
that it is done as per the course plan submitted by the faculty member. Class

TKMCE/SSR Page 89
committee meetings convened by the HoD addresses the issues faced by the teachers
and students. Corrective measures such as extra classes for difficult topics, remedial
teaching for weak students, improvement of teacher/student behavior etc., are taken.

2.6.7 Does the institution and individual teachers use assessment/evaluation

outcomes as an indicator for evaluating student performance, achievement
of learning objectives and planning? If ‘yes’ provide details on the process
and cite a few examples.
Yes. Based on the continuous assessment and University examination results, course
indices are calculated for all courses in every department. The indices are reflections
of student performance. During the 2015-16 academic sessions, a system of rubrics
was developed to assess the POs in every department. The results are used to identify
the student performance. Based on this information (index values), corrective
measures such as extra classes for difficult topics, remedial teaching for weak
students etc., are undertaken.
Few examples to this aspect are cited below:
 The overall index obtained for a course on Computer Programming was lower for
Mechanical Engineering students. To improve the students’ performance, they
were given special classes and lab sessions. This helped to provide better
understanding of the course.

 Based on the index and feedback obtained from the students, a group tutoring
methods were implemented in the campus for the first year students for the
course Calculus. In that session, a group of Professors from Mathematics
Department attended to the requirements of students individually in a session.
Students felt very comfortable about the contents in the syllabus after the session.

 Various departments in the institute follow such practices based on the course
index and feedback to improve the performance of students in respective courses.

3.1.3 What are the measures taken by the institution to facilitate smooth
progress and implementation of research schemes/projects?
The institution takes extreme care to support and promote research activities of
faculty. The following are a few of the efforts by the institution system to support
research.
Autonomy to the Principal Investigator
The institution offers maximum support and freedom to the principal investigator to
proceed the work according to their own idea and need.
Timely availability and release of resources
The institute provides timely information and guidance to apply for the project and
necessary resources are supplied through office.
Adequate infrastructure and human resources
The institute provides necessary infrastructure facility for implementing the project.
Special well equipped rooms are given for major research projects such as ISRO
projects. In certain cases the institute facilitates human resource to assist the project if
the fund is allotted for assistance.
Time off, reduced teaching load, special leave etc. to teachers
The concerned department extends the support to the faculty by providing
consideration in teaching load as internal arrangement without affecting the students
and special leave of up to six months is recommended with the co-operation of other
faculty members.
TKMCE/SSR Page 92
Support in terms of technology and information needs
The institution provides computer system and Wi-Fi internet facility to all the
departments to support research. The most modern developments and advances in
technology are provided to the concerned research faculty through the online journals
and digital library. The researcher can access the information from their own work
place at any time. Also, the relevant information needed for the research community
is conveyed in the right time to the faculty through the research council of the
institution.

Facilitate timely auditing and submission of utilization certificate to the funding

authorities
The institute always gives prioritity to timely submission of utilization certificate
yearly. The administrative office of the college provides full support for preparation
of utilization certificate of the project and entrusts special auditor for auditing the
accounts of project in time.
The institution has completed ample number of research projects funded by AICTE
and other agencies successfully. Moreover, there are many ongoing projects and
research projects funded by industries and research organisations in various
departments.

3.1.4 What are the efforts made by the institution in developing scientific
temper and research culture and aptitude among students?
To develop scientific temper, research culture and aptitude among students, the
institution organizes intercollegiate technical symposia every year in association with
college union. Students are encouraged to participate in technical events like paper
presentations, innovative design competitions etc. In addition to these, student
chapters of professional bodies such as ISTE, IEEE, etc. also organize many
programmes to develop scientific temper and research culture. The students are
motivated to actively participate and present papers in technical symposia and
conferences held in other institutions too.
The Research Council gives award for the best innovative UG project to promote
research culture of UG students. The council also organises poster presentation of
final year projects to disseminate the innovations and research contributions of
students to the whole student community.
The faculty extends their support and guidance to the students in their technical
endeavours. The students also get chance to expose themselves to research activities
by taking part in the research works of the faculty and department research projects.
Many students have received awards for best papers in international and national
conferences. The information and achievements regarding students’ research are
reported in news letter of the department periodically. Thus scientific temper and
research culture are nurtured among the students.

3.6.2 What is the Institutional mechanism to track students’ involvement in

various social movements / activities which promote citizenship roles?
The important organizations as listed in previous sections follow a systemic approach
to attract students into the activities, document and track students’ involvement. The
modes of functioning of various forums are provided below:
National Service Scheme (NSS)
It conducts a recruitment drive through which the interested students join the scheme.
This is normally followed by an orientation program to put in place the best practices
followed and to highlight the remarkable programs conducted in previous years. The
program officer assigns students into individual activities and ensures their
participation and active involvement. There are review sessions in which the pit falls
and achievements are revisited for corrections. Annual reports of the various activities
conducted throughout the year should also be submitted at the end of each year. The
institution has a college advisory board to approve the yearly activities of the NSS
unit. The programme officer is expected to send the monthly, quarterly and half yearly
reports in time and conduct the seven days special camp for NSS volunteers.
STEPS
STEPS is a service organization under the college union which also follows similar
mechanism in which the College Union organizes campaign for its membership and
those who are having affinity in social service and willingness to support helping hand
are chosen to carry out its activities. This has a faculty coordinator and student
coordinator who collectively make sure that the programs for a year has been charted
out and that consistent reviews are made to assess the progress. STEPS make live
interference in societal needs like educational support for economically weaker
sections, providing shelter to destitute, organizing medical aids, stem cell donation etc.

IEEE in the college. About 400 housewives participated in the workshop on Energy
Conservation in Domestic Environments. It was jointly organised by Kudumbasree
(The famous self help group of women in Kerala), IEEE, Women in Engineering and
Power and Energy Society.

UNAI
It has four focal points to guide the students in achieving the UNAI principles.
Recently students of TKM College of Engineering, UNAI ASPIRE chapter joined
hands together to conduct a health statistics camp, with doctors from National Health
Mission (NHM) and Travancore Medical College. It was conducted as a part of
ARDRAM mission and ‘Edam project’ which was an initiative of Government of

under the Kundara constituency. Various experienced doctors including paediatrics
and paramedical doctors showed up for providing immense care and support for the
primary check-up and about 160 people made use of the camp.

3.6.3 How does the institution solicit stakeholder perception on the overall
performance and quality of the institution?
Institute is highly concerted with its stakeholder i.e. students, parents, staff, alumni
and industry. The feedback received from alumni, parents, industries and members of
the governing council is used to ensure the quality of the institution and the
achievement of the objective and mission of the institution. The institution conducts

education and/or toward employment?

TKMCE/SSR Page 203

TKM College of Engineering believes in not just providing quality education but
also in giving students a fair chance to use the acquired knowledge, by helping them
get placed/employed in reputed organizations. CGPU has been instrumental in
inviting reputed firms to the institution to recruit students through on-campus
placement drives and job fairs. The cell provides training programmes to make
students better-equipped to face such recruitment tests and interviews. Higher
educational opportunities in nationally and internationally acclaimed institutions are
also intimated to the students regularly by the cell and also by individual
departments. Each department organizes special classes and training classes for
students who are preparing for competitive examinations, namely, GATE. The
institution has always remained affirmative to students receiving in-plant training in
well-known organizations to foster an engineering thinking and technical skill in
them. Seminars, workshops and talks by eminent personalities are organized by the
institution to help students to be better technocrats.

5.2.4. Enumerate the special support provided to students who are at the risk of
failure and drop out?
The institution understands that there are students who require extra care and
attention than others. Such students (‘at risk’ students) are identified and supported
at the department and institution level. Individual advisors identify such students
based on their performance in the internal assessment tests and overall conduct in
class and campus. Advisors regularly meet these students to try and help overcome
their stumbling blocks. To aid such students, each department organizes remedial
classes for those who are struggling to cope with the demands of the course. The
performance of students in assessment tests and their conduct at college is
communicated with parents. PTA meetings are organized by the college department-
wise to facilitate discussions about student’s curricular and extra-curricular
performances. On the basis of feedback a support mechanism is formulated based on
remedial/peer-learning exercises. These initiatives build confidence in them in
creating an ‘I can’ attitude and may help such students perform well.

 CRITERION VII: INNOVATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

7.1 ENVIRONMENT CONSCIOUSNESS

7.1.1 Does the Institute conduct a Green Audit of its campus and
facilities?
An Environmental Management Committee has been constituted to address various
aspects related to environmental policy in and around the campus. The Committee
consists of eight members with a senior professor as Chairman, the NSS Program
Officer and a student representative. The environmental policy of the institute is
targeted to optimize the usage of resources and of conventional energy and to
promote the usage of renewable energy. It intends to safeguard the health and safety
of the users by scientific management of waste in the campus. The Environment
Management Committee is in the process of organizing various activities to meet the
above objectives and for conducting green audit in the campus.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-
friendly?
Various initiatives have been organized to promote sustainability with the help of
NSS and other student organizations. As an initiative to make the campus eco-
friendly, the following programs have been organized:
 Vanamaholsavam (Tree plantation)
 Celebration of World Environment Day.
 Clean up Projects (within and beyond the campus)
 Save energy campaign.

 Various programs, including tree planting initiatives are organized in and

around the college campus with the aid of National Service Scheme
(NSS) and “Bhomitra Sena”.

 Paper waste management initiative helps to reduce the manpower, cost

and time thereby benefiting the administrators, teachers and the students
to maximize their efficiency.

 A web interface named Eazy Campus is used for academic data

management. Eazy Campus is a highly secured and scalable web based
campus management system, which works on both Intranet and Internet.
The system is protected, accessed through individual login
Admin/Parents/Students/Teachers. The system works as a one point
portal for academic information to students, teachers and parents. The
digital data storage system in Eazy Campus reduces paper usage.

 The institute has introduced SMS gateway, which is eco-friendly, bulk

SMS solutions to disseminate information, which also reduces paper
usage and wastage.

TKMCE/SSR Page 241

  Introduction of Biometric Time Clock System is another eco-friendly
initiative of the institution. The biometric clock system is a sustainable
office solution that eliminates the need for hard copies of attendance.

 All the above activities reduce paper usage in the academic and
administrative functioning of the college and help to trim down the
carbon footprint of the institution.

Energy conservation
The institution instills a spirit of energy saving in all stakeholders, particularly
among the students and staff members. Energy is an important entity of the
campus. Our campus adopts an energy policy to promote proper management and
conservation of energy as well as the use of renewable energy. An Energy
Management Cell consisting of seven members including student representative, has
been constituted in the institute with a senior Professor as chairman. The energy
policy of the institute is to create awareness regarding energy conservation and
management and to develop an integrated energy efficient system without envi-
ronmental degradation, using renewable resources.
Energy conservation and awareness regarding energy management is implemented
through active participation of users in the campus. The infrastructure developments
are guided to incorporate passive measures, eventually leading to net zero energy
usage. Renewable sources introduced along with conventional sources of energy,
reduces not only the grid dependency but also the energy cost incurred by the
college, leading to sustainable management of resources. Temperature guidelines are
implemented to optimize the energy loads of air conditioners in the laboratories and
seminar halls.
Energy Management Cell formulates and upgrades the energy policies, reviewed
from energy audits conducted in every two years. Energy intensive equipments are
replaced based on such audits.

Use of renewable energy

Biogas plants are used for cooking in all five hostels (7m 3 capacity each).
Water harvesting
Water harvesting is being taken up in a big way to improve the drainage system
and groundwater. There are rain water recharge pits in the campus. The locations
of these pits are as follows:
 8 pits of 10m3 located in front of the main building.
 2 pits of 10m3 in front of Mechanical Engineering block.
 2 pits of 10m3 in front of Chemical Engineering block .
 1 pit of 10m3 by the side of auditorium near the tennis court..
 1 pit of 10m3 near workshop building
 2 pits of 27m3 near the new auditorium.
 1 pit of 15m3 near the canteen.

TKMCE/SSR Page 242

Water treatment plant
Water treatment plants using pressure filtration are provided in all hostels.
Disinfection of water is carried out using chlorine. Drinking water is supplied
from UV treated water filters/coolers in all floors in all buildings and various
locations in the campus.
Sewage treatment
A sewage treatment plant has been proposed to be built in the hostel. At present,
septic tanks are used in each hostel for sewage disposal within the site.
Check dam construction
Rainwater recharge pits serve the purpose of check dams to an extent. The campus
site is relatively flat. Rain water percolation is attained by providing sufficient
amount of rain water percolation pits at different locations within the campus.

Recharging of wells
Artificial recharging of dug wells in the campus is done using rain water collected
from the roof top of buildings.
Efforts for carbon neutrality
The institution is looking to a sustainable future by working to become carbon
neutral. Various measures are adopted to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases,
reduce use of energy, use more renewable energy, and emphasize the importance
of sustainable energy sources. Planting more trees to make an eco-friendly
campus and by optimizing the use of refrigerators, air conditioners and other
carbon emitting equipment. An incinerator of 18m height located at a distance of
200m from the academic zone is used for burning non-chemical waste.
Hazardous waste management
Institution is constantly expanding its waste management program and has
introduced holistic solutions to reduce waste production and encourage reuse,
recycling and composting on campus.
Staff and students have also helped create innovative programs to educate the
community about the importance of waste management. Following programs
under NSS are examples for such an effort.
 Clean Up Projects (within and beyond the campus)
 Save energy campaign.
e-waste management
A separate storage space has been allotted to store e-waste before clearing them
from the campus.

7.2 INNOVATIONS

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have
created a positive impact on the functioning of the college.
The college is keen on promoting innovative practices to create competence in
education and research at various academic levels. The institution also
recognizes the importance of innovations in functioning of facilities like
administration and extracurricular activities of students.
Teaching learning process
The quality of teaching learning process is monitored by the IQAC (Internal
Quality Assurance Cell) in the college level and by the DQAC (Department
Quality Assurance Cell) at the department level.

 Course delivery plan, COs (Course Objectives), POs (Program

Objectives) and CO-PO mapping of each course is prepared by the
respective subject group in a meeting after detailed deliberations. It is
then verified at the department level by DQAC.

 Question papers which are prepared by the faculty for internal

assessments are also scrutinized and approved by DQAC.

 Regular course committee meetings are conducted with faculty,

advisors and student representatives to ensure the effectiveness and
timely completion of each subject.

 Based on the performance of students in the internal exams, remedial

classes are provided for needy students. Students facing difficulties
with certain subjects/classes/issues are empathetically addressed by
respective advisors/mentors.

 Attendance is clearly monitored by the advisors and defaulters are

called separately for identifying reasons and corrective actions.

 Eazy campus software, used to monitor the academic system plays a

vital role in ensuring the transparency of teaching learning process and
also helps in its documentation.

 Result analysis is conducted after every examination by the advisors of

each class and is discussed in the department and college level to take
necessary actions for improvement.

TKMCE/SSR Page 244

Development of research competence among students
Faculty of the college has always been involved in research projects.
Understanding the importance of inculcating research aptitude among students
right from undergraduate level, various endeavors have been initiated by the
institution.
 Undergraduate students are mentored by faculty in this regard and
students are fostered into active collaboration with faculty through
research publications, conferences and in house presentations.

 UG and PG Students are given guidance by faculty for their project

works. PG students are encouraged to undergo research in collaboration
with foreign Universities.

 Students are motivated and given support for presenting their work in
international conferences. There are continuous interactions with
international Universities and industries for research and project
collaboration.

 Faculty members of the college are registered Ph.D guides of the

University. This brings a wide potential for bringing in doctoral
candidates into the campus as well as up-gradation of labs through
various research grants and funds. Interacting with doctoral scholars is an
academic motivation for students in undergraduate and post graduate
levels.

 Faculty development programs play an important role in the academic

development of faculty. Faculty members are allowed to pursue research
programs in reputed institutions as part of career advancement which
improves the research potential of the college.

 The college is a QIP Centre under MHRD which targets academicians

from other institutions pursuing research. Such programs supplement our
initiatives to develop the college as a Centre of Excellence for pursuing
research and higher goals in education.
Promotion of entrepreneurship initiatives
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Cell (IEDC) commenced
operations in August 2014 with a goal to foster creativity and entrepreneurial
temper among the students of Institution. The Cell operates with support from
the Kerala Startup Mission, Government of Kerala, Kerala Technological
University and Startup Village and was recognized as the first Startup Bootcamp
in the state of Kerala in 2014. IEDC has signed formal MoUs with the
aforementioned institutions and has received financial grants from the Kerala
Startup Mission, AICTE and TEQIP for its operations. IEDC acts as a Virtual
Incubator, Ideation Hub, Prototyping center and Patent support office for the
students and the local community. It also acts as the mentoring agency for
Entrepreneurship Cells of fourteen other engineering college under the Kerala
Technological University in Kollam, Alapuzha and Pathanamthitta Districts.

TKMCE/SSR Page 245

  The cell has successfully incubated four student startups that are now
independent companies and is currently incubating eight more student
startups. Machinser Technologies, a 2016 incubatee, currently operates
from Dubai with investments raised from abroad. All other incubated
firms currently operate from Kochi where they have independent office
spaces. Out of eight incubating startups, four have completed their
product release and are currently undergoing incorporation. The
remaining four are in product design and research phase.
 IEDC is currently in the process of setting up a Technology Business
Incubator within the campus. The space for the same has been
identified and MoU for financial aid for construction has been signed
between the Institution and Lulu Exchange Group. The construction is
expected to be completed by October 2017.
 Since its inception, IEDC has organized a whole slew of programs to
awaken the entrepreneurial and creative spirit of students. One major
activity was the Techno Entrepreneurial Symposium (TES) organized
in April 2016. With over ten speakers from around the world including
Nell Watson from Singularity University, Nicole Silver from GROW
California, and Krishnan Khanna, founder of IWATCH, the two day
programme provided a truly unique experience for faculty members
and students alike. TES also included software and hardware
hackathons and workshop for students.
 To promote Women Entrepreneurship, the cell hosts a consortium
named WE-CAN, which has shown immense potential, especially in
product research. WE-CAN organizes talks and workshops exclusively
for female students. As a result of the relentless efforts put in by IEDC
on Women Entrepreneurship, an all-female startup named KARSA,
which works on a precision farming products based on Internet of
Things was established in 2017.
 IEDC conducts regular workshops on emerging technologies such as
Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Robotics, Mathematical and
Statistical Analysis tools, Internet of Things and Digital Fabrication.
This has helped build a strong scientific temper among our students
and has directly resulted in startups shifting focus towards artificial
intelligence based technological solutions rather than offering static
web services. Three startups namely DigiEvo App Studios, Machinser
Technologies and Code Company have shifted focus to AI based
products from merely being web and mobile app development firms.
IEDC mentor students in various national level competitions, including
ones conducted by IITs and NITs. Our students were the overall
winners of technical fest (Thathva) organized by NIT Calicut in 2015
and 2016. Students of robotics cell work in tandem with the IEDC and
won Robotics competitions conducted by IIT Bombay and NIT Calicut.
 Three startups namely Referra, Sentyment and TYIA were winners of
the National Level Entrepreneurship Promotion programme
named SV.CO organized by Startup Village (The best Digital

TKMCE/SSR Page 246

 Incubator in India). The CEOs of these startups, Vinayak Nair, Adarsh
D and Asnim Ansari, received the opportunity to go on an all-expenses
paid trip to Silicon Valley USA where they pitched their ideas in front
of experts from Facebook and investors in Silicon Valley in June 2017.
 The current focus of the cell is to increase the number of hardware
startups. For this, the cell has set-up an Internet of Things Laboratory,
with financial grants from the Kerala Starup Mission, to support
electronic startups and to build a “Makers” community within the
campus. A FABLAB has also been setup in the institution with support
from the MIT FABLAB Networks, FABLAB Kerala and Kerala
Technological University to promote Personalized Digital Fabrication
and Prototyping. The Lab is operational and is open to students and
local community for all digital fabrication.
7.3. Best Practices

7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page
148) which have contributed to the achievement of the institutional
objectives and/or contributed to the quality improvement of the core
activities of the college.
Our Institution is committed to nurture engineers motivated in pursuing educational
goals along with higher employability proficiency. It is ensured that our students are
moulded into socially responsive citizens. A number of practices are being followed
within and beyond the campus in tune with the vision and mission of the institute.
Two best practices are detailed below:
TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: I
Students of TKMCE for the Empowerment of People & Society (STEPS)
GOAL
Social commitment and empathy is diminishing day by day among professional
college students. It is in this scenario that the students of TKMCE have come up
with STEPS. They are a group of students committed for social empowerment and
spreading the message of love, kindness and empathy. STEPS approach engineering
with its motto:
"Where Engineering Meets Humanity"
THE CONTEXT
The present formal education system is not completely providing the students with
the information and tools to make them socially responsible citizens. In India,
especially when professional education system is concerned, Universities or
institutions narrowly prepare students for the workforce rather than for broader
citizenship and social responsibility purposes. This led to the formation of STEPS
under college students union. It was established in 2011 with a vision of
engendering social responsibility and compassion to the fellow beings in the
generations to come.

TKMCE/SSR Page 247

THE PRACTICE
STEPS is a non-profitable student organization working under college students
union. All students of TKMCE are members of STEPS by default.

Over the years STEPS have conducted a number of activities both inside and outside
the campus, such as restoration of hospital equipments, educational activities which
include free coaching, scholarships and distribution of school kits, eye care facilities,
stem cell donation programs, blood donation camps, promoting afforestation,
awareness programs focused on atrocities against women and children, sustainable
use of resources, and promoting safety and training to deal with common accidents
and hazards. Few of the most acclaimed activities are detailed below:
SUKRITA 2016
SUKRITA-2016 is an initiative by STEPS and aims to empower and motivate the
differently abled in the society, by providing them a unique opportunity to get closer
to the brilliant technical minds which could offer them innovative solutions to their
requirements. A three day program was conducted at TKMCE campus during
February 19 to 21, 2016.
During these three days the following programs were conducted:
An Adalat was conducted to provide a venue so as to enable differently abled people
find solutions to their pressing problems. Around 239 applicants met with top
bureaucrats from 13 government departments and presented their grievances for
adequate solution. In addition, job training or occupational therapy was organised,
wherein the differently abled learned how to make homemade soap, detergent etc.,
to supplement their income. Physiotherapy and palliative care sessions were carried
out by Mr. Ajay Raghav, a palliative physiotherapist.
An ice breaking session was organised, where the differently abled shared their
experience with others. Motivational session was given by Mr.Jasfer Kottakunnu, a
celebrated ‘mouth’ painter from Malappuram. He shared his experiences of coping
with life despite being paralyzed below the neck. Moreover, competitions related
with innovative products for differently abled were conducted by IEDC during the
function and cash prizes were distributed to the winners.
A full day program for autistic kids was organized on the third day. About 75
children along with their parents participated in the program. One of the major
outcomes of the program was a proposal to begin a special school for autistic kids
wherein technical skills can be imparted. Another suggestion that came up was the
creation of a state wide organization for the empowerment of autistic children.

TKMCE/SSR Page 248

AARDRA:
Each year thousands of people are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases such as
leukemia and other blood disorders. Medical treatment can cure these patients, but
success is not assured. The transfer of healthy blood stem cells has been identified
by the medical community as a last chance to save the lives of such patients. More
than 20000 patients die yearly in India for not having a voluntary blood stem cell
donor. However, ignorance of students and public in general, about this process is a
major reason why it is difficult for many patients, especially those of South Asian or
other minority descent, to find suitable donors. With few registered donors available
in the country, the possibility of finding a genetically matching donor for an Indian
anywhere else in the world too is low. Donor registries work towards creating a
diverse database where the search of a life-saving donor meets a match.
To reduce the apprehension of the society about stem cell donation and thereby to
increase the number of voluntary donors, the students of TKMCE put forward the
initiative AARDRA, a stem cell registry drive in various colleges across 10 districts
in Kerala in July-August 2015. The event was inaugurated on 28th July by renowned
neurosurgeon and former-Vice Chancellor of Kerala University, Dr. B. Iqbal. This
was first of its kind being done in an educational institution in the state. Eleven
initiatives at various educational institutions had created much awareness about stem
cell donation, which was unheard of till 2012. The sample were collected by rubbing
a swab against inner cheek and was sent to the DATRI foundation, a south India-
based non-profit stem cell registry started in 2009 which has around 70,000
registered donors. The event conducted was a huge success with 4232 registrations
in just 15 days. There was an average of 282 registrations per day. About 75% of our
students have volunteered this event. Approximately 18.5% of Kerala’s stem-cell
registration is through AARDRA. The number of registrations increased by 23%
after AARDRA in Kerala and 4.2% in India (Statistics are based on a news report
released by DATRI. www.datriworld.org as on August 15). Kerala has emerged
second among the states of the country with the maximum number of registered
donors after this campaign.

BRAIN DRAIN & ADDICTED TO LIFE:

The STEPS organization has conducted state wide awareness campaign against
“BRAIN DRAIN” and Anti-drug campaign “ADDICTED TO LIFE” an initiative
of Government of Kerala. The STEPS organization coordinated these programs in
14 districts of Kerala simultaneously which was a grand success.

TKMCE/SSR Page 249

HELP ENTRANCE:
Entrance coaching is obviously costly and low income families are unable to afford
this during their daily struggle of making two ends meet. “HELP ENTRANCE" is
an effort to assist such students.
Features of the program include:

 Conducting a series of examination using Multiple Choice Questions

(MCQ) for selected students from the schools nearby TKMCE.
 Organizing inspirational classes for motivating students.
 Organizing interactive sessions with people who have secured good ranks
in entrance exams so as to share their experiences.
 Developing Android apps that aid in the engineering entrance preparation.

EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS
As an outcome of the efforts of STEPS programme, the college will be able to
produce young professionals with social commitment.

Notable accomplishments of STEPS programme:

After having many hardships, the STEPS organization was successful in removing
the ignorance and apprehension about stem cell donation procedure and in educating
the public, its relevance as a life saving procedure for patients affected by severe
blood disorders. The students were able to develop a fully-fledged blood bank, with
coverage of 3 districts. They organized blood donation camps for which they
received awards from IMA. The efforts towards restoration of damaged hospital
equipment in Kollam district hospital with required engineering works were well
appreciated. Students are managing a pain and palliative care unit in cooperation
with Kottamkara Grama Panchayath. STEPS conducted an eye camp-Kazhcha, at
Mekkone School with the help of eye specialists from Amardeep Eye hospital,
Kollam.
Problem Encountered and Resources Required
There are many activities that can be done by this programme which meets the goal
of STEPS in all its spirit. The fund generation is completely done internally by the
students for which they have a campaign titled “ONE RUPEE A DAY” where each
student voluntarily donates one rupee a day towards the activities of STEPS.

TKMCE/SSR Page 250

TITLE OF THE PRACTICE: II
The Institute Level Scholarship System
Goal
To provide support for low income students, an institutional level scholarship named
TKM Merit-Cum-Means scholarship was set up with the support of the
management, faculty, staff and alumni of our college.
The Context
According to the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), the annual cost of
professional and technical education has increased by 96% per student in India
between 2008 and 2014. A scholarship can make a big difference in how much time
and resources a student will have during college to spend on enhancing his/her
experience and knowledge through service-learning, volunteer opportunities and
internships. The money and security afforded by a scholarship allows him/her to be
more selective in utilizing the free time thereby, adding value to his/her degree.
Each year 85% of the students enrolled in the institution is admitted through pure
merit and many of them, in spite of being financially weak, do not qualify for the
sponsorship provided by the central and state governments and various national
agencies, meant for supporting the socially and economically disadvantaged
sections. This led to the installation of institutional level scholarship named TKM
Merit-Cum-Means scholarship (TKM-MCM) in 2011 to ensure financial assistance
through merit-cum means to the needy students according to their academic
performance and financial background. TKM-MCM extends its helping hands to
more and more deserving students each year.

The Practice
Our college provides scholarship for both academically excelling students coming
from financially poor background. Fund raising for this venture is through voluntary
contributions from the staff, faculty and management. Our alumni also contributes
towards this cause. The students are requested to apply for the scholarship every
year and the respective class advisor selects two student from each class based on
their academic performance and income level. Every month a lump sum amount of
Rs.1200/- is paid. Moreover, an active PTA renders a helping hand to the missions
of TKM-MCM by supporting students in their curricular and extra-curricular
activities. Parent Teacher Association also provides financial aid for taking part in
national level competition for students. Last year financial support was given to
students to participate in SAE BAJA event by the PTA. In each class semester
toppers are given Rs. 1000 for buying books.
Evidence of Success
The TKM scholarship system has been functional for a long period of time and has
been a motivational factor for many of the students. There is an inherent and healthy
competition in every batch to grab these scholarships/awards. The prestigious

TKMCE/SSR Page 251

awards are given away in a grand function conducted by the college every year,
known as the merit evening where representatives of alumni, PTA and other
dignitaries are present along with the students and faculty of the college. These
meetings motivate students and encourage them to raise their aspirations about their
future. Secrecy maintained by the college about the recipients of TKM merit cum
means scholarship has been an important factor in its success in the past years.

33. Teaching methodsadopted to improve student learning:

 Use of multimedia in delivery of lectures

 Dividing the students into small groups and conducting tutorials. Course related questions
are set for the students to work, and are given guidance. This enhances critical thinking
and the problem solving skills of the students. This also makes them active in learning by
involving directly in answering or raising questions, in verbalizing their views,
understanding of topics, concepts etc.
 Organizing expert lectures and discussions.
 Well-equipped department library provides assistance for self–learning.
 Organizing study tours, site visits etc. to help the students in supplementing theoretical
knowledge with practical exposure.
 Students can access NPTEL video lectures for better understanding of the concepts.
 QEEE classes are conducted to enhance the learning process.
 Civil Engineering Association conducts workshops, seminars and group discussions.
 Technical fests, Conferences etc., are conducted for student enrichment.
 Encouraging peer grouplearning.
 Remedial classes are arranged for students after regular class hours.
 A two week industrial training is included in the programme to give the students hands on
experience.
 Students are evaluated by continuous assessment which is on the basis of the day to day
work, periodic tests, assignments and the end semester University examinations.

34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities

Faculty and students actively participate in the following programmes such as:
 Blood Donation Camp
 Stem Cell Donation Camp
 National Service Scheme(NSS)
 Students of TKM for the Empowerment of People and Society(STEPS)
 Bhoomithrasena Club activities related to protecting the environment
 Anti Drug Campaign
 Anti Ragging Campaign
 Grievance Redressal
 Disaster Mitigation

35. SWOC analysis of the Department and future plans:

Strengths

 Faculty adept in handling consultancy projects such as structural design, material property
testing, evaluation of structural stability, monitoring of construction works and valuation
of buildings
TKMCE/SSR Page 280
 Faculty members hold important positions in forums such as Senate, Board of Studies,
Academic Council, Syllabus revision etc., in the University.
 Faculty members serve as technical experts in various local/government bodies
 Well placed alumni who guide and support the department in various activities
 Legacy of the last 58 years, which has made the institution a highly preferred one in the
state of Kerala. The students who join the Civil Engineering Department have high ranks

 To engage in technical consultancy assignments with industries
 To enhance research projects funded by various agencies
 To do collaborative research work with different scientific organizations
 MoUs with industries/Universities for student projects/internships
 Facilities for modern pedagogy and advanced learning support such as NPTEL, QEEE

Challenges

 Equipping students for better placement opportunities

 To ensure the admittance of majority of students in prestigious institutes for post graduate
programmes
 Setting high goals and living up to the standards set by the institution, while being
confined by the constraints set by the affiliating universities
 To setup specialized research facilities within the department

Future Plans

 Propose innovative technologies for the improvement of teaching learning process

 Increase MoU with industries
