6.2 Does the Institution has a management Information System
Yes. It is implemented. Cloud based ERP software is available.
6.3 Quality improvement strategies adopted by the institution for each of the following:
6.3.1 Curriculum Development
The Institution, being an affiliated Institution follows the syllabus prescribed by the Anna
University, Chennai from time to time for various courses. The frequency for syllabus revision is
decided by the University.
AQAR/ SNSCE/ 2016-17 Page 43
The Principal and three senior Professors are members of the Boards of Studies of the
affiliating University. Based on the feedback collected from the stakeholders and further
deliberations, required revision of syllabi to meet the developmental needs at the regional and
national level is forwarded to the University for updation of syllabus. Few of the
recommendations for changes in curriculum/ syllabi are favorably considered and
implemented by the University
SNSCE believes in teaching beyond the syllabus because it strengthens and expands
students’ existing knowledge and adds interest to the course.
For example in Computer network the content beyond the syllabus is Methods of Channel
Access on Links and Wireless Mesh Network. It bridges the gap between academic and
industry need.
6.3.2 Teaching and Learning
The teaching learning process in the college is continuously geared up with best practices
in knowledge dissemination and skill up gradation in the major aspects of teaching, research
and extension.
At the beginning of each semester, the academic calendar with all necessary details is
distributed to the students and faculty members for planning the activities. The time table
and the course plan are prepared well in advance.
Provisions are included in the regular time table for tutorials, seminars, soft skill
development etc. for student centric learning. Separate lab manuals are prepared and given
to the students for lab courses. This helps as a reference guide for conducting experiments in
the lab.
Student-centric learning activities such as puzzles solving, role play, analogy, project/
problem based learning, demo models, video lectures, seminar on recent trends, quiz, online
tests, brainstorming, tutorials, case study, group discussion and mind map techniques have
been practiced regularly for better understanding of the students.
Student-centric learning facilities such as SNS courseware, NPTEL or Video based
presentations, ICT enabled Class rooms, Online multiple choice questions, webinars and
remote learning through online resources are created for student’s access at any time.
AQAR/ SNSCE/ 2016-17 Page 44
The college has initiated the outcome-based education through the practice of Blooms
taxonomy educational objectives and learning outcomes for content delivery and assessment.
Students gain confidence through self-study methods. They prepare and present papers in
class room seminars, National and International symposia/ conferences, National and
International journals etc.,
Role of CLT is enhancing the student learning experiences.
Faculty members are encouraged by providing 50% registration fee to attend
FDPs/Workshop/Seminars to enrich their knowledge and improve the teaching pedagogies

6.3.3 Examination and Evaluation
The evaluation process is designed by Anna University (AU) and it is made available in the AU
web portal. The college ensures that these processes are known to faculty members and
students through hand book and calendar provided by the institution. Any doubts/clarifications
are made by the respective departments regularly.
Students and faculty members are exposed to AU regulations and evaluation through
orientation programs which are conducted at the beginning of the academic year.
As per AU norms, performance in each course of study is evaluated based on three
continuous internal assessments throughout the semester and AU examination at the end of
the semester.
All the circulars regarding Internal Assessment Examinations (IAEs) and end semester
examination are displayed in the notice board and in college web site.
Answer scripts of IAEs are maintained, accessible to students on request. Feed back on

as in class committee meetings with students.
After each IAE, the corrected answer scripts are returned to the students for transparency,
clarification in the evaluation, required by the concerned students are given by the faculty
members.
AQAR/ SNSCE/ 2016-17 Page 45
Random verification of IAE is done by HoD to check the consistency of evaluation and
assessment.
Every teacher is required to maintain a “Subject Log Book” which consists of attendance,
marked for each lecture/ practical/ project work hour class, the topics covered during each
hour, IAE Marks and Unit Test Marks, if any, and the record of class work separately for each
course. This is submitted to the Head of the Department periodically to ensure the syllabus
coverage and the timely entry of test marks and attendance. At the end of the semester, the
documents are kept in safe custody.
In Laboratory courses, for every experiment conducted by the student,10 marks are
awarded according to his/her level in the following headings,
