4. Quality Indicator Framework(QIF)

Criterion 1 - Curricular Aspects

1.1 Curriculum Design and Development 1.1.1 Curricula developed /adopted have relevance to the local/ national / regional/global

developmental needs with learning objectives including program outcomes, program specificoutcomes and course outcomes of all the program offered by the University

Response:

Statutory bodies develop curricula keeping in view their relevance to the local, national, regional andglobal developmental needs. While local considerations refer to socio-economic milieu and reports such as“Punjab Vision Document 2030, national concerns are correlated to reports of NITI Aayog, Make in India,Skill India, Digital India and futuristic forecast of industry, technology, agriculture cropping patterns andemerging occupational trends. Regional and global relevance is considered in terms of futuristictechnologies as well as global issues like environment and sustainability.

The relevance of courses is specifically addressed to market orientation in our progressive priorities. Thecontents are endowed with fresh insight, depth and outreach in all areas including Engineering, Hospitality,Law, Sciences, Humanities etc. In the newly structured engineering areas such as Mechatronics,Aerospace, Petroleum Engineering, Industrial Design, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, Big DataAnalytics, Information Security, Artificial Intelligence etc., global inputs and avenues are kept in focus.

Agriculture being the mainstay of Punjab, courses in Agriculture, Biotechnology, Agri-Business andManagement have been scaled up in conjunction with the role of technology. To cater to the local industrycalls we have Mechanical and Automobile Engineering with course contents which fulfill their experientialdemands. We also offer Film Studies, Multi-media, Optometry, Physiotherapy etc. to address the diverselocal and national needs.

All these course contents have specific inputs to fulfil our vision through industry specific and subjectrelated learning experience to yield desired learning outcomes.

The course objectives are focused and undergo periodic review to ensure competitive edge. To improvecompetence and level of achievement, the students are provided additional inputs like communicationskills, logical skills, basic computer knowledge, human values, gender equality, environmental awareness,women empowerment, disaster management, social and professional ethics etc.

An open and transparent learning exposure with flexibility for inter branch portability of credits andcourses is allowed for further enrichment of minds through:

Emerging technologies such as block chain, machine learning and IOT.Joint certification programmes to impart innovative and critical thinking for engineering.Combine technology with talent-natural synergy between the university and technology majors.Policy framework for SDN (Software-defined Networking); more efficient deployments across thepublic cloud in partnership with foreign universities.Cutting edge technology research and innovative ways to educate the next generation for these

Page 25/143 27-09-2019 02:50:08

technologies.

The program outcomes are formulated in consonance with the program objectives. The Program specificoutcomes are then defined outlining the competencies which will be provided to students in the program asalso their relevance to the needs of the industry and various levels of developments.

On the basis of the program objectives and outcomes the scheme of study i.e. various courses to beintroduced in the program are finalized.

The next stage is designing the curriculum which is devoted to fulfilling the course objective in particularand program objectives and outcomes in general.

The courses as well as the detailed curricula are formulated in such a manner that their relevance for thedevelopmental needs at different levels are stated in the objectives and outcomes.

Observations / queries raised by the auditor are marked on the vouchers and given back to AccountsDepartment Accounts department follows up with the concerned department to properly address auditor’squeries by providing the requisite additional supporting documentation, authorization or corroboratingevidence. Auditor accordingly stamps each payment for clearance upon satisfaction. Auditor also ensuresthat the University has taken steps for safeguarding assets by taking adequate insurance for risk coverage.Once a final clearance from the auditor is received, payments are forwarded by the Accounts Manager tothe Chief Financial Officer. Chief Finance Officer randomly checks and queries on the payment before payments are prepared for finalsign off from the authorized signatories. Such segregation of duties acts as a strong control over financialtransactions. Apart from this, there is also a system of random testing of transactions / expenses as andwhen a need is realized to review the expense pattern in a particular segment of cost. Such reviews aredone internally and informally to initiate necessary action, wherever required.External AuditThere is also a well-defined process for external audit of the books of Accounts of the University. Once ayear external Auditors critically review the books of accounts and analyse the receipts and payments as perthe applicable auditing standards and statues to ensure proper and timely compliance of applicablestatutory and regulatory requirements. External auditors discuss observations and findings with theAccounts team on a regular basis to seek additional information and explanations to satisfy themselves onthe financial statements. The Auditors periodically discuss the audit progress with the Chief Finance

Officer to address bottlenecks, if any, for the completion of audit as per the plan. Audit adjustments, asadvised by the auditors are passed in the books of accounts to the satisfaction of the auditors. Externalaudit is closed with a final debriefing meeting wherein all necessary explanations and justifications areprovided to the auditors. Based on auditor’s satisfaction, audited accounts are signed off.

6.4.3 Institutional strategies for mobilisation of funds and the optimal utilisation of resources

Response:

Chandigarh University is a self-financed University and is not getting maintenance grant from the stateGovernment. Accordingly, funds are mobilized from:

(a) Internal Sources

(b) External Sources

(a) Internal Resources

Prime internal resource mobilization is through collection of fee that consist of

Academic FeeHostel FeeTransport FeeInterest on FDRsRent

Page 101/143 27-09-2019 02:50:57

Fees are collected from the students twice a year semester wise. Collected fees are pooled in interestbearing Saving Bank Accounts and to ensure optimal balances in the accounts, auto sweep facility isavailed.

To provide necessary amenities to the students, shops and booths have been constructed which are allottedagainst payment of rent. Rent earnings are duly accounted for.

(b) External Sources

In addition, other sources of funds are:

Training and ConsultancyResearch Project GrantsSponsorships

(i) Training and Consultancy fees consisting of funds generated from, Govt, individuals and businessentities are received to conduct research and impart knowledge on emerging technologies.

(ii) Providing University ICT facilities for conducting entrance test and other academic activities toexternal agencies

Other external sources of funds are borrowings from the banks. Bank Borrowings are primarily term loansrequired to create and supplement infrastructure for academic and administrative functions. Suchborrowings are arranged considering the future expansion plans of the University.

Optimal Utilization of financial resources: Optimal use of financial resources is ensured through strictbudgetary control on expenditure as per available provisions. Also pre-audit is used to ensure only relevantexpenditure is incurred.

The Optimization is also achieved by making all purchases through a central purchase committee, whichcalls for quotations and tenders depending on the amount involved and total transparency is ensured.

In fact, optimization is done in all expenditure activities of the University like:

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is planned before hand and only required number of buildings areconstructed. This exercise includes Academic buildings, Library, Hostels, Administrative block etc.

Campus Development: Campus development includes construction of roads, providing electricity, water,laying/renovating sewerage lines, plantation, and development of the land, etc.

A part from the above the financial resources are utilized for providing the following facilities:

1.Staff: Need based financial assistance under this head is given to the staff from ISR fund of theuniversity

2.Central Library: It is need based funding for Books and Journals.3.Equipment: It is need based equipment for laboratories, special office equipment and modern

teaching aids like Multimedia Projectors etc.4.Innovative Research Activities: Funds are provided for path leading innovative Research not

Page 102/143 27-09-2019 02:50:57

covered under major and minor research projects.5.Health Centre: This is in the form of a dispensary, medicines, consultations etc.6.Student Amenities: Such facilities include Canteen, safe drinking water, Recreation Rooms,

Common Rooms, Counseling Centres etc.7.Manpower Resources: Human resources are essential for carrying out any productive operation.

As without human efforts, no organisation can achieve its objectives. Optimization of manpowerresources includes the following domains:

Need of manpowerSkills requiredNeed of trainingEmployee benefitsPerformance incentivesLegal compliances

6.5 Internal Quality Assurance System 6.5.1 Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) has contributed significantly for institutionalizing the

quality assurance strategies and processes

Response:

Yes, Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) was established in 2013. The IQAC has made significantcontribution in Institutionalising the quality assurance strategies and processes.

The IQAC has been constituted as per the format prescribed by NAAC and its meetings are held regularly.In each department there is an IQAC Coordinator. Quality assurance strategies and processes are framedand subsequently reviewed by the IQAC in its meetings.

Due to the efforts of IQAC a number of initiatives have been taken including setting up of university R&Dcell, entrepreneurship development cell, organizing innovation competitions every year etc.

Two examples of practices institutionalized as a result of IQAC initiatives and related to teaching learningquality are the following:

1.Compulsory Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) for all teachers during July 1-15 every year.2.Providing resource library through CUIMS.

1. Compulsory Faculty Development Programs for all teachers during July 1-15 every year.

This practice was started from the year 2013. In this practice FDPs are organized for all departmentscovering entire faculty.

The FDP content is based on self-analysis by the faculty spelling out the areas/subjects for skillenhancement, based on revised curriculum and latest developments in their discipline including emergingtechnologies.

Page 103/143 27-09-2019 02:50:58

The FDP is divided in two components. One component, common for all, generally of three days isdevoted to skill development in teaching pedagogy, communication skills, teaching technologies andteaching psychology etc.

The second component consists of specific topics department -wise delivered by experts from renownedinstitutions, industry and foreign experts.

The FDP’s are a combination of discussions, workshops and lab sessions.

2. Providing Resource Library Through CUIMS

The excellent ICT facilities and robust Chandigarh University Information Management System provide astrong platform for blended / online learning for the students.

The entire faculty of the University is allocated its coursework well in advance. The faculty then preparesthe required PPTs and other reference materials like videos, e- resources material, to be used in nextsemester.

The practice is to uploaded the entire teaching material to be used in next semester on the student page ofthe CUIMS. This folder is called ‘Resource Library’. The practice is continued for every semester for allthe courses and in all the programs.

The resource material for all the teachers teaching the same course is jointly developed and all teachers usethe same material/resource library. This material is audited for quality by a committee of senior facultymembers before uploading. This is to another practice of quality assurance which has been

This practice has been successful and its impact on quality assurance is clearly visible in terms of help toadvance learners who can come prepared and make the class room interactive.At the same time thispractice is immensely helpful to slow learners as they have relevant material available 24X7 helping themcatchup with any deficiency or weakness.

The above two examples demonstrate the significant contribution of IQAC for Institutionalising qualityassurance strategies in teaching learning.

6.5.2 The institution reviews its teaching learning process, structures & methodologies of operationsand learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms

Response:

The University reviews its teaching learning process, structure, methodologies of operations and learningoutcomes, from the quality point of view at regular intervals through its IQAC.

Page 104/143 27-09-2019 02:50:58

The IQAC reviews all the processes, structures and methodologies from the quality, students satisfactionand outcome point of view. IQAC also analyses and discusses feedback from different stakeholderincluding students, faculty and industry experts who visit the campus for placements and interactivesessions as well as member of Corporate Advisory Board (CAB). Many initiative and changes have beenbrought about by IQAC based on its institutional reviews of teaching learning. Apart from many other thefollowing two reforms are worth mentioning and have proved very effective in improving the curriculumand its enrichment.

The practices are:

1.Matching curriculum with best institutions in India and abroad 2.Covering content beyond syllabus in the class.

1. Matching curriculum with best institutions in India and abroad:

The University reviseses its curricula every two years with comprehensive review and ensuring theinclusion of latest developments in the respective fields. The IQAC while reviewing the mechanism ofcurriculum development suggested that apart from the input from industry experts. The University shouldlook at the curriculum of 3-5 best institutions offering those programs with in India and also 3-5 bestinstitutions offering similar programs across the worlds specially our partner Universities.

The Practice that has been started is to design the scheme of study and subsequently the curriculum,mapping it with the selected best institutions of India and also identified globally.

This reform in curriculum design has very positive effect in terms of satisfying the students on the onehand and making the University comparable globally on the other. This has also helped CU students whogo for semester abroad, semester exchange as well as higher studies to be comfortable and highlysuccessful. The practice has also helped attract semester exchange students from 9 countries includingFrance, Mexico, South Korea, Russia, Belgium, Mongolia, Egypt, Thailand and Germany

2.Covering content beyond syllabus in the class:

Although the curriculum at CU is revised every two years. The IQAC felt that in many discipline thetechnological changes are taking place very fast and even two years seems to be a long period.

The IQAC therefore suggested that the faculty should devote some lectures to latest developments in thefield which are not part of the curriculum.

The University therefore started the practice of devoting 10% lectures to content beyond syllabus for eachcourse in each semester. The topics to be covered in 4-5 lectures in every semester are based on latestdevelopments in the field and are mutually decided by the faculty and students. These topics are recordedin the course files of the teaches and are recommended for inclusion in the syllabus at the time of revision.

This practice has proved to be a successful teaching learning reform because the students have startedperforming better in technical competitions at prominent institutions like IITs, NITs etc. along withimproved performance in placement drives & general examinations.

7.1.5 Waste Management steps including:• Solid waste management • Liquid waste management• E-waste management

Response:

Waste management involves collection, segregation, transportation, re-processing, recycling and disposalof various types of wastes. The University has proper management systems for Solid, Liquid and E-waste.

Page 111/143 27-09-2019 02:51:02

The University is almost paperless as most of the documents, forms, payments, no dues have been shiftedto online mode and official communications are via Chandigarh University Information ManagementSystem(CUIMS). Separate Dustbins have been provided for recyclable and general waste collection. Wastein the university is managed via four R’s process i.e.

? Reduce: The reduction in the use of raw materials

? Reuse: Reuse of waste materials and recycling of those

? Recycle: Recycling of materials

? Recovery

1. Solid Waste Management:

The solid waste is categorized into Non-biodegradable and biodegradable waste. The Non-biodegradablewaste is separated in to recyclable and non-recyclable. The recyclable waste is sent to designated vendorson regular basis. Non-recyclable waste is disposed off as junk through open bidding. No waste is allowedto be accumulated on the campus.

Bio-degradable waste is collected hygienically and is sent to specific set up which is meant for theirdegradation, decomposition on oxygen-rich medium resulting in the formation of eco-friendly manurewhich is used for horticulture purposes in the campus.

2. Liquid Waste Management: University is generating approximately 1.87 MLD of sewerage wastedaily. For managing this waste university has established four STPs out of which two has 1.5 MLDcapacity each and two STP plants of 400 KLD capacity.

The treated water from these STPs is used for dual plumbing for hostel flushes and irrigation in theuniversity. The Hazardous waste of lubricants from Diesel Genset is collected into fire-safe containers andis disposed off through the designated vendors.

The University adheres to a strict protocol of liquid waste disposal in its laboratories. Any glassware usedin the laboratory is rinsed with minimum water and placed in the liquid waste container. The liquid wasteis segregated into organic and inorganic waste. Inorganic waste such as concentrated acidic or alkalinesolutions is neutralized before disposal. Sodium bicarbonate or Calcium oxide (lime) is used for theneutralization process so that the neutralized liquid contains no harmful substance and pH is maintained.

3. E-Waste Management: University is committed to practicing sustainable development and themanagement of E-waste is an important aspect of the sustainability goal. E-Waste is collected andsegregated in re-usable and non-usable items. The life of electronic equipment is extended by appropriateupkeep and minor repairs carried out by University’s own technical experts. The life of PCs, Printers, Fax,photocopy machines etc. is maximized by annual maintenance contracts and proper up keep. The previousmodels of these equipments are donated to schools and used for dismantling & learning. Non-usables aredisposed off to designated vendors.

4. Clinical Waste:

Page 112/143 27-09-2019 02:51:02

The clinical waste is disposed off via a specialist clinical waste disposal contractor on alternate day basis.The color coded clinical waste management system is applied for ease of recognition and handling.

7.1.6 Rain water harvesting structures and utilization in the campus

Response:

The Chandigarh University has well defined policy and system in place for rain water harvesting and itsutilization doing both roof top and flood water harvesting. Water collected on roofs of all the buildings isused to recharge ground water. Water is filtered before it goes to aquifer. Water from roof top first comesto de silt chamber by solid PVC pipes. Sedimentation of fines take place in de silt chamber. This waterthen goes to recharge well which has filter material consisting of (40-60) mm coarse gravel at the bottomfollowed by 20mm coarse aggregate and finally has a sand layer at the top. This sand layer is replacedannually or as and when required. There is a perforated 5” dia pipe at the centre of the recharge well. Rooftop harvesting is almost maintenance free and has only initial cost on infrastructure.

Flood water harvesting needs continuous clearing of drains as water contains leaves and fine soil particles.These leaves and other insoluble impurities block mechanical filters and dissolved fine soil block sandfilter. It requires monitoring and manual clearing of blockages.

We have total ten recharge wells. Nine of these recharge wells are catering to roof top harvesting and oneof them is harvesting rain water falling on roads. we also have a policy of using interlocking tiles onfootpaths and other spaces so that water can percolate through the joints in interlocking tiles. These tilesare laid on permeable sand bed so that the process of infiltration is unhindered due to paving of roads.

Waste water from hostels and academic blocks is diverted towards drainage system with the help of pipes.These drainage systems channelize wastewater towards the inlet of sewage treatment plant. First debrisare removed with the help of Screening.

After the removal of debris from wastewater, it accumulates in the collection tank. In sludge holding tanksludge is collected. Then water goes to aeration tank where the air is introduced into raw water to removefoul gases from the water. After aeration process water moves to tube retailer tank and then to chlorinecontact tank where chlorine is added to disinfect water. After disinfection water is filtered through sandfilters and collected into treated water tank used for horticulture.

University strives towards developing water conservation and water efficiency through followingstrategies:

Promote water efficiency practices to all the University’s stakeholders.

Page 113/143 27-09-2019 02:51:02

Monitor and minimise the University’s water consumption.Plants indigenous flora to reduce water usage.Promotes planting indigenous trees in and around the university to reduce water usage.Sustain implementation of innovative water-efficient technologies such as rainwater harvesting,reuse of water etc.

The University also motivates students, faculty and staff to implement sustainable water consumptionsystem through;

E- Square Club (Environmental Engineering Club)Create awareness among the students through celebration of World Environment DayIntroducing the students to the subject of ‘Green Buildings’ & University core subjectEnvironment & Waste and Disaster management and elaborating on its scope.

7.2 Best Practices 7.2.1 Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)

Response:

The University has introduced a number of practices which can be termed as Heathy Practices and thefollowing two can be termed as the Best Practices which have been successfully implemented:

I. University Industry linkages.

II. Summer Semester for Compensatory Classes – a program meant for slow learners

Best Practice- I

Title of the Practice: University Industry Linkages

It has been a common perception that there is a gap between industry and academia in terms of what isrequired by industry and what is taught by the educational institutions. Chandigarh University took thisinitiative right from 1st year to ensure this gap is minimized and ultimately bridged, Chandigarh universityindustry linkage is a capstone Program –

1. Objectives of the practice:

Curricula development in consultation with industry for effective learning experience ofundergraduate and post graduate studentsTraining of faculty by industry expertsProviding opportunity of real time exposure through on the floor training and internship forstudents & faculty.Establishing industry sponsored labs on the campus for skill enhancement of student and facultyPlanning future development of the university in consultation with industry and to introduce newprograms in cutting edge technologies in collaboration with industry.Addressing industry problems for their research and consultancy based solutions.Providing Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students Real time learning InterfaceEnhancing scope of employability through student internships.

2. The Context

University- industry linkages are planned based on long term and short term collaborations. Beyondthe teaching, research, entrepreneurial taxonomy, the broader purpose is to contribute towards thesocial and economic development.Capacity building of students is done as per the demand and dynamic changes in the industry.To bridge the credibility gaps the government policies and industry recommendations areimplemented in the curriculum through entrepreneurial paradigm and academic structures.The academic structures are modified to enable them to compete for dynamic change responding tothe global competition.

Page 122/143 27-09-2019 02:51:08

A collaborative effort to attain mutually compatible goals of technological innovation, enhancingglobal competitiveness and economic growth based on the need to establish closer ties with thecommunity and to stimulate social, political, economic and technological forces.An opportunity to develop potential for international technology transfer and diffusion.Helps in crowding out the Employability skills among the students

3. The Practice:

The University has established Chandigarh University Corporate Advisory Board (CU-CAB)with more than 250 members. These members include top management and technical experts fromIndian industry and MNCs like Microsoft, IBM, H.P. Cognizant, Oracle, Wipro, Tech Mahindra,Honda, Hyundai, Panacea Biotech, Patanjali, Accenture, Delloite, ICICI, HDFC, etc. Industry collaborated courses are run in various disciplines like CSE, MBA etc.Various Industry Sponsored Laboratories and facilities have been created with in the campus for thebenefit of students and faculty.First year students are provided corporate mentoring to give them first hand knowledge aboutemployment avenues, desired skill sets and best options. This program is called corporatementoring of fresh men.Faculty skill enhancement programs are done by industry experts both on the campus as well as inthe industry.Student internships are provided for training, leading to quality placements.The credibility of the University and its accreditation by the industry leads to enhanced placementdrives with about 490 companies visiting campus for campus placement in 2017-18.The highest pay package achieved by students also has been increasing very fast.

Specialized training seminars/guest lectures are arranged for the students to learn advancedtechnologies.Students get the opportunity to enhance graduate skills, and ensure a smooth and effectivetransition between university and business environments.Students acquire hands-on experience before finally joining the job market.Students are kept well-informed of the latest trends in the job market and industrial needs byimparting highly pragmatic professional training.

4. Evidence of Success:

University’s exclusive Apex Institute of Technology is offering Industry collaborative courses inEngineering and Business Management. Course like B.E. (Hons.) in Cloud Computing, Big Data& Analytics, Information Security and MBA Business Analytics in Collaboration with IBMsimilarly MBA in Banking and Financial Engineering is being offered with collaboration of ICICI(Direct), Tally and FLIP. In this model the curriculum is jointly designed by the partner industryand the University. More than 40 % of course contents are covered by the technical experts fromthe industry. Faculty of Chandigarh University also get trained by the partner industry under thetrain the trainer program.A number of industry sponsored labs and infrastructure have been created. In all about 25 suchfacilities are available in the campus including Microsoft Azure Cloud Lab, Wipro Lab, IBMsoftware Lab for emerging technologies, Tech Mahindra Lab, Cisco Lab, HPE Center ofexcellence, Virtusa Center of Excellence, Honda Skill and Research Lab, Hyundai ProfessionalCenter, Intel Intelligent Systems Lab. etc.

Page 123/143 27-09-2019 02:51:08

University has industry experts in Board of Studies of every academic program. Some syllabus isalso delivered by the Industry experts which add value to the quality education.Due to Strong University-industry linkages the number of companies visiting the University for theplacement has increased manifold. In the year 2017-18, 492 companies visited ChandigarhUniversity for the placement purpose.The highest package offered to the Chandigarh University students is 31.7 lakhs in the year2017-18.

5. Problems encountered and resources required:

Collaboration of University and industry provides a competitive advantage by creating synergy but alsogive challenges.

Industry is sensitive about the necessity of specialized educational platforms within the programsand similar contribution is ensured from the university to meet the expectations.University sometimes is not aware of the real problems that the industries face. The curriculum ofall the technology based programs need to be modified every year as per the job market.

6. Note:

The University holds a meeting of Chandigarh University Corporate Advisory Board (CU-CAB) every year since 2014.From 2014 itself each year interactive session of students is held with corporate leaders.At least two industry nominated experts are members of each Board of Studies.A total 25 industry sponsored facilities for student training have been established on the camps ofCU.

Best Practice- II

Title of the Practice: Summer Semester for compensatory classes – a program meant for slowlearners in order to make them capable of competitive world outside.

1. Objectives of the Practice

To enable slow learners to complete the courses in their own pace and provide an opportunity tostudents who are unable to cope up with other average and fast learner students.

Some student have difficulty in adapting with the pace of the studies – those who have thewherewithal but need more time – and hence unable to attend classes to get 75% attendance.Some students miss classes due to unforeseen circumstances like prolonged illness, accidents, lossof kith and kin etc. and have an attendance percentage less than 75%A few students of pre-final year students (marginal cases of CGPA) need improvement opportunityso as to appear for placements

2. The Context

Compensatory courses are announced by Institute/Department with the approval of the DeanAcademic Affairs.

Page 124/143 27-09-2019 02:51:08

As per the guidelines of UGC, the university has adopted the concept of Flexible Choice BasedCredits System and the students have a choice to opt for compensatory classes during the June andJuly months (Summer Semester) as approved by the Dean Academic Affairs.Maximum two theory courses and one practical course is permitted to a student during the summersemester and the student has to meet the minimum attendance criteria in these courses along withsatisfactory performance within continuous internal assessment components.

3. The Practice

Students securing ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’ & ‘I’ Grades can apply for the summer term in order to improvetheir grades. Improved grades replace the earlier grade or else earlier grade will be retained.The evaluation process for summer semester/ compensatory classes is same as followed duringregular semester i.e. students have to repeat the entire process (Internal component & End semesterexams).

4. Evidence of Success

Students are able to achieve a pass percentage as near to the regular ones.Students get individual care due to less strength of students studying under summer semester.Out of 8/9 courses in a semester, they can do 1 or 2 under compensatory courses thereby lighteningtheir burden according to their capacity during regular studyStudents who suffer from lack of attendance due to unfortunate circumstances like medicalproblems, loss of near and dear ones in the family make use of flexibility and save their preciousyears

In Session 2017-18, about 9.8 percent of students have applied for summer term Compensatoryclasses.

Session 2017-18 2016-17 2015-16 2014-15 2013-14

Success Percentage 89% 87% 81% 86% 88%

5. Problems encountered and resources required:

Sometimes problem arises that the vacation of the faculty clashes with the compensatory classes ofthe students, in these cases faculty are provided earned leaves in order to compensate their efforttowards this duty. Fast learners also opt for these compensatory classes in order to improve their grades or knowledgewhich effect the class atmosphere meant for slow learners.Compensatory classes clashes with the trainings / special workshops of the students offered insummer vacations and these clashes are removed by opting flexible timings for some courses.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness

Page 125/143 27-09-2019 02:51:09

7.3.1 Describe/Explain the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priorityand thrust

Response:

Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship are the key components of the vision of Chandigarh Universitysince its inception. Entrepreneurship is considered to be the most useful attribute in the context of modernIndia. Right from its first day the visionary leadership of the University gave top priority toentrepreneurship and established entrepreneurship Development cell (EDC)in the management department.EDC spread awareness about entrepreneurship among all the students and faculty by organizing theawareness camps, business plan conclaves; motivational lectures, interaction with failure leaders, etc.These activities not only motivated management students but also the engineering and non-engineeringstreams. As a result of this, many students specially from engineering started coming up with innovativeproduct's idea, which got scaled at a later stage. By the middle of 2013 EDC got numerous product andservice's ideas, which required to be patented.

In early 2014, by looking at the quality of the product ideas and motivation of the students’, which had thepotential of being patented, University established the Intellectual Property Rights(IPR) cell in theUniversity. The total cost of the patent filling is borne by the University. Apart from this University startedgiving the funding of INR 25000/- per student for development of the prototype for product or services. Inthe year 2014-15 University filed 14 patents. Recognizing the enthusiasm of the students and faculty is thisregard, the University decided to apply for the IEDC (Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Cell)from National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB), Department ofScience and Technology (DST) in 2015.

University got the approval for the IEDC in its first attempt in view of the work and achievements in thefield of entrepreneurship, innovation and intellectual property right activities. Under the scheme Universityreceived grant of INR 45 lakhs for a period of five years. After receiving the grant University createdadvance infrastructure and facilities for the students to work on the prototypes and also to scale them forestablishing startups. Under the IEDC scheme NSTEDB gave an option to fund five prototypes per year forup-to 1 Lac. Under this initiative the students had to submit their proposal for prototyping and after thescrutiny if the proposal was found suitable they were given the fund. By looking at the number ofproposals and their quality University management sanctioned extra 10 lacs per year to fund 10 additionalprojects for prototyping. In two years 2014-2016 a total of 40 patents were filled by the students andfaculty and 14 prototypes were developed.

To fulfil its goal University sanctioned an amount of Rs. 1 crore to build self-funded Technology BusinessIncubator(TBI) to support the students’ projects for becoming a startup venture after developing theprototypes. The TBI is also in sync with University vision of being internationally renowned inentrepreneurship.

Under the CUTBI any student from the University, faculty or any aspirant from outside the campus canapply for the incubation. After the short listing and interview the chosen startups become eligible to getincubated for 18 months in CUTBI. CUTBI offers individual cabin with all required infrastructural support(PC, Internet, Printer, Conference hall, Video Conferencing Facility, Access to Workshops, Labs etc.) tothe candidate with selected business ideas. Apart from this, incubates are getting mentorship from thefaculty and leaders from the respective industry.

Page 126/143 27-09-2019 02:51:09

In the first year of its inception 8 startups got incubated with the assistance of CUTBI. For taking theinitiative to next level University applied for the NIDHI-TBI in the year 2016 and got the approval of INR4.12 crore from National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB),Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India

Appreciating the interest of the students and large number of applications University has created thefollowing facilities at the CU-TBI for incubates:

Installed four 3D printers (SLA, MJP and FDM technologies)Built an ultra-advance convention hall with all required amenities (HD projector, Round Table,Sound system, Video Conferencing, etc.)Advance manufacturing system lab for the prototyping of productsNew large-size cabins with all needed infrastructural facilitiesOpen sitting area for discussions.

As a result of all these initiatives, 76 startups got registered with the CU-TBI and 4 startups have passedout. The growth of the startups' year wise shows that in 2015-16, 5 startups were established. This numbergrew to 12 in 2016-17 and 55 in 2017-18.

The startups at the CUTBI can be categorized in following categories:

Manufacturing IT & ITes Services Agriculture BusinessHospitality Logistic Solutions Apparels

Along with this, University has filed a total of 234 patents. University also organizes an annualentrepreneurship meet “Effectus” every year in which approx. 250-300 startups participate and interactwith the investors. The best startup gets a prize money of worth INR 2.5 lacs and a total prize money of 5lacs is given to the winners in different categories. CUTBI has also signed a MoU with Wadhwanifoundation in 2018 to endorse the entrepreneurship education among the students of ChandigarhUniversity.

The university also organizes Abdul Kalam Innovation conclave every year to initiate, encourage andmotivate young professionals in the field of Research, Innovation and ultimately, Entrepreneurship.

Last year 2017-18, 1304 ideas were received out of which 127 were selected for devolvement and 25patents were filed.

Thus the university has shown an outstanding performance in the area of entrepreneurship which isdistinctive to its vision, priority and Thrust.
