What is Education ?

“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.”

The training by which the current and expression of will is brought under control andbecome fruitful is called education.

[Education] may be described as a development of faculty, not an accumulation of words, or, as atraining of individuals to will rightly and efficiently.

The education which does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggleof life, which does not bring out the strength of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of alion – is it worth the name?

To me the very essence of education is concentration of mind, not the collecting of facts. If I had to domy education over again, and had any voice in the matter, I would not study facts at all. I woulddevelop the power of concentration and detachment, and then with a perfect instrument I couldcollect facts at will.

....no one can teach anybody. Vedanta says that within man is all knowledge -- even in a boy it so --and it requires only an awakening, and that much is the work of a teacher.

Knowledge is inherent in man; no knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside; What we say a man“knows”, should, in strict psychological language, be what he “discovers” or “unveils”; what a manlearns is really what he “discovers”, by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infiniteknowledge.

An education that confines itself to imparting knowledge is not education. Thevarious faculties of memory, judgement, imagination, perception, reasoning, whichbuild the edifice of the thought and knowledge for the knower, must not only beequipped with their fit and sufficient tools and materials, but trained to bring freshmaterials and use more skillfully those of which they are in possession.

We have taken the idea for granted that it is the past which determines the present and that the pastand present will determine the future. But, in the light of Sri Aurobindo we may very well revise the ideaand wonder if it is not the future which has made the past and the present. That is to say, there is adestiny which is in the process of realising itself and all that has happened and all that is happeningare a part of that process.

4. Is there any Concept of Mentoring the students?

5. How are the parents expected to participate in mentoring the students?

Special support is provided to students not performing up to the mark by organizing classes

exclusively for such students. The College shall put up a list of students who, in its opinion,

should attend these classes based on the marks scored in after completion of

each unit. Students whose names appear in this list are advised to take advantage of

.

The Subject wise Course Schedule specifies the week when the mock test will be conducted

and the schedule of the Bridge Classes.

Course Schedule is a detailed session wise, week wise course delivery plan prepared for

each subject. Students should refer the course schedule to prepare the topic of next class in

advance for the participative teaching learning process in the class.

After the university results are announced, list of subject wise failure students will be

prepared and will be conducted for them for previous semester subjects

by senior faculty members of the department. It is mandatory for students with backlogs in

the previous year/semester to attend these and pass with good

percentage.

For every 20 student one faculty is allocated as mentor (women faculty members

exclusively for girls) appointed by the Head of the Department. The mentor maintains the

data of progress of a student which includes the academic performance in the sessional

exams, the attendance discipline etc. The mentor will update the parents every day about

their wards attendance.

The mentor monitors the student to ensure that he/ she is regular, punctual, attentive to

class work and excel in the academics during his entire course in this institution. The

mentor also gives time-to-time advice on matters of academics as well as personal concern.

Students are advised to share any problem related to their academics or personal issues

with the respective mentor for quick redress.

Parents should meet the mentor of their ward once in a month to know about the academic

progress/ behavior of the students. The parents will be informed about the academic

performance and shortage of attendance of their ward through phone call, SMS, Email and

post. Therefore parents are advised to update the counselor/HOD of the dept regarding any

change in communication details like phone numbers or residential address. Parents are

expected to encourage their wards to follow the college rules and regulations and

participate in various activities and training programmes.

8.3 Industry – Academia Interaction

8.4 Center for Human Excellence:

8.5 Student club activities (Co curricular and Extracurricular activities):

Students shall be required to pay the college fee within 15 days of the commencement of the

academic year. Otherwise per day they have to pay Rs 50/- as fine. If students are not able to

pay the college fee then they are not eligible to pay the exam fee.

Students shall be required to pay the fee in SEP/OCT for odd semester and FEB/MAR for

even semester respectively i.e. prior to the start of University semester exams.

The College lays great stress on Language Proficiency classes. These are conducted to

augment student communication, group working and group learning skills. Experience

shows that these skills contribute directly in improving job prospects of students in the best

companies. These skills not only enhances better prospects for selection in interviews but it

also leads to enhanced salary packages being offered. Students are expected to treat these

classes with the same seriousness as regular classes. Marks for General Proficiency are

awarded on the basis of evaluation of work done in these classes. The requirement of

minimum attendance specified by JNTUH applies to General proficiency as well.

To enhance employability skills of our students and to give them a competitive edge over

others, the college organizes training programmes during vacation periods. Training

programmes are organized at the end of second year and third year during the summer

vacation. Students should be prepared to undergo all such training programmes with out

any exemption.

:

The College also makes arrangements for invited talks, guest lectures and seminars by

eminent personalities drawn from academia and industry. The aim is to update the students

about the latest technology and industrial practices and bridge the gap between academics

& industry. Participation in such events is compulsory.

Swami Vivekananda Institute for Human Excellence has an

in house centre in our campus, wherein human values are instilled in students through

various lectures organized by experts in grooming students in life skills and preparing them

to sustain the myriad challenges they may have to face in life.

Employers in the

globalized world look forward for exuberant and active employees besides the necessary

technical skills. To niche an edge over other candidates, he/she is expected to enrich his/her

profile which reflects an all round personality.

Engineering andTechnology is a life time mission. I will work, work andsucceed.

Wherever I am, a thought will always come to my mind. That is whatprocess or product I can innovate, invent or discover.

I will always remember that "Let not my winged days,be spent in vain".

I realize I have to set a great technological goal that will lead me to thinkhigh,work and persevere to realize the goal.

My greatest friends will be great scientific and technological minds,good teachers and good books.

I firmly believe that no problem can defeat me; I will become the captainof the problem,defeat the problem and succeed.

I will work and work for removing the problems faced by planet earth inthe areas of water, energy, habitat, waste management andenvironment through the application of engineering and technology.

I will work for making the district in which I work as a carbon neutraldistrict.

My National Flag flies in my heart and I will bring glory to my nation.
