Students feed-back:
Feedback will be collected from students twice in a semester i.e during mid-semester and
end-semester. The feedback questionnaire is scientifically designed based on fifteen parameters,
which are evaluated on a 6-point scale. Parameters involved are preparedness for classes,
delivery and handling of questions in the class, usage of teaching aids, timely evaluation of tests
and assignments, level of interest and excitement generated, extra help outside the class room,
control and command of classes etc. Faculty member who gets feedback less than 3 will be
counselled by the HOD and the faculty concerned shall initiate necessary measures to improve
the performance.
Alumni Feed-back/Alumni Survey:
Institute conducts Alumni meets regularly (at least once in a year) at various places in the
country. Few of our alumni are successful in establishing and running consultancy firms,
software companies, Power plants, service and manufacturing industries. The alumni survey is
conducted to obtain feedback regarding their employment, higher studies, suggestions for
improvement of institution etc. The inputs from the alumni are used in curriculum design, best
practices, programme objectives etc. Alumni survey is conducted during alumni meets, visits to
institution, stake holders meeting etc. Institute has separate alumni portal to facilitate the alumni
interaction and updation of alumni database. Board of Studies of each department has an alumni
nominee.
Parents feed-back:
Institute collects parents feedback during stake holders meeting in curriculum design and
development. Aspirations of the parents are also collected whenever parent visits institute.
Parents are also appraised about the campus ethics, examination system, curricular and
extracurricular activities, facilities available etc. through campus management system.
Employer feedback/Employer Survey:

Annexure-III
Best Practice-1: 1. Title of the Practice
Remedial Classes, Academic Merit Scholarships and Uniform Evaluation
2. Objectives of the Practice 1. To improve performance of slow learners and students with backlog subjects in regular or
supplementary examinations. 2. To encourage the meritorious students, Tuition Fee waiver is provided to students with
very good EAMCET ranks. 3. To ensure uniform evaluation for internal and external examinations.
3. The Context
To implement this practice, there are some contextual issues and are addressed. Identification of slow learners is done as per the performance in the first mid-test. Time table is prepared to conduct remedial classes separately in the afternoon slots without disturbing the regular class work. The biggest challenge is to make sure that all the needy students attend the classes. To attract meritorious students, Fee Waiver is provided to students with very good EAMCET ranks. Academic merit scholarships to encourage meritorious students based on the performance of semester end examinations.
To ensure consistency and transparency, uniform evaluation system is in place.
4. The Practice
Faculty members are required to conduct remedial classes as per the schedule. To make this practice beneficial to students, it is resolved that students should attend 90% of the remedial classes conducted to appear in supplementary examinations. Performance track sheets are maintained to ensure the students having backlogs clear the exams. To attract the merit students to take admission, tuition fee waiver is provided to students with good EAMCET ranks. Academic merit scholarships are provided to semester examination toppers to encourage the competence.
To ensure transparency and consistency in evaluation, uniform evaluation system is in place. In multi-section courses, evaluation is done by a faculty member for a particular question for all the scripts of that course.
5. Evidence of Success
The results of supplementary examinations are improved. Meritorious students are taking admission. Result is published within a week of completion of the exams.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Problem encountered in this practice is making all the needy students attend remedial classes regularly. The resources required are faculty to handle the classes and separate class room. We have good faculty strength across all the departments, so faculty allocation is also not a problem.
For implementing the scholarship schemes there is no problem, because the management is very assertive.
For uniform evaluation internal faculty and external invited faculty do the evaluation task in time and without any trouble.
7. Notes
NIL. Best Practice-2:
1. Title of the Practice
Faculty Incentives for Research Promotion, Quality Improvement and Faculty Awards.
2. Objectives of the Practice
Monetary incentives are provided to faculty to promote research and to enable the faculty to pursue Ph.D. under QIP at premier institutes.
Faculty awards are given based on academic performance evaluation on a 6 point scale to improve teaching skills and encourage innovative methods of teaching and research.
3. The Context
The above practices are introduced in the context of globalization. The importance of research along with teaching is the need of the hour. The faculty upgrades his / her knowledge levels through research and then he will be able to transfer such knowledge to the student. Faculty awards and cash incentive system are in place to motivate the faculty.
4. The Practice
The faculty who publishes a research paper in a peer reviewed journal will be given a cash award of Rs. 20000/- and Rs. 10000/- for international and national journals respectively. The faculty who presents a paper in an International Conference/Seminar at an institute of repute outside India, cash award of Rs. 2000/- is given. If it is in India, cash award of Rs.1000/- is given. In addition to the cash award full registration fee and travelling expenses along with academic leave are granted. The teacher who publishes a text book by an international publisher cash award of Rs. 75,000/- is given. If it is national publisher the award is Rs. 30,000/- and for regional/local publisher the award is Rs. 15,000/-. The teachers are encouraged to participate in FDP/workshops/training programmes organized by reputed institutions with full registration fees and academic leave.
A teacher for completing his/her PhD while in service at GMRIT is awarded a cash prize of Rs. 75,000 for engineering branches and Rs.50,000 for Basic Sciences, provided he/she serves for a minimum of three years in the institute. To encourage the best performers, faculty awards are in place. Evaluation of faculty performance is done on a six point scale based on their contributions in teaching, research, pass percentage of students, academic administration and co-curricular/extra-curricular activities.
5. Evidence of Success
Faculty completed and pursuing Ph.D under Q.I.P. at premier institutes has been increased. Research publications have been increased. Healthy competition has been inculcated because of faculty awards.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The management encourages such good practices which create an academic ambience blended with research. Financial resources were liberally provided for such good practices. No problems were encountered in implementing such practices.
