Students (ITM)

40 students of ITM Entrepreneurship Cell.

Students (EM Normandy)

36 students taking the course on Entrepreneurship.

Modus Operandi of the project :

The 40 students of ITM are divided into 10 groups of 4 each. Each group has a corresponding

group in France. The email ids of the students have been send to EM Normandy project guides. The

French students will contact ITM students directly as and when the project need requires. Faculty's

role is to ensure smooth operation of the project by coordinating with the ITM students.

Project given :

The project given is to find the potential market for exporting Cider in India. The students act as

consultants for the company which would like to to set up operations or outsource or sell Cider in

India.

The Indian students provided information on the macro environment factors in India, namely the

Political, Social, Technological, Economic Legal, Ethical environment factors, Data on Alcohol

industry , Competitors, substitutes products, Consumer Behavior of Indians, identified the core

competency of the company and also did a feasibility study of the project.

The correspondence was mainly through mails and occasionally through skype.

Learnings:

The students learned how to evaluate a business opportunity in terms of Macro and Micro

environment factors (with respect to alcoholic beverages and Cider) , identifying the differentiating

factors, understanding the consumer's perception regarding alcohol and related beverages and

feasibility analysis of the venture.

Apart from this they also learned about the French Culture by interacting with the French students

3. Moodle:

ITM makes use of Moodle for conducting courses through on-line.

LMS – Learning Management Solutions - Moodle was built around an idea of learning that

happens when a group of people constructs things for one another, creating, collaboratively,

a small culture of shared artefacts with shared meanings. Moodle makes available resources

(web pages, books, files, link, and so on) and activities (forums, assignments, quizzes,

lessons, databases, glossaries, and so on 0 to support teaching and learning.

Manual testing and evaluation consists of a large amount of paperwork, for which space

becomes a problem. On top of that question paper and answer sheet filing consumes a lot of

time. Manual testing and evaluation system is ineffective when it comes to filtering the right

chunk of information from the mass of paperwork. The manual system makes result processing

slow and is a waste of time for the qualified and expensive faculty. This technology works on

the idea of providing a comprehensive computerised system, which can not only receive and

retain inputs, but also can analyse them. Online testing and evaluation gives students flexibility

of date, time and location for objective-type examinations.

VI. Social Initiative aimed at empowering artisans and village entrepreneurs was started as a

completely student driven activity. This activity aims at sensitizing students to the social, financial

needs of the small entrepreneurs and help in financial inclusion and spread literacy and motivating

entrepreneurship.

VII. Global immersions – A 3 week student exchange program to Mastritch School of Management

was finalized with the objective of providing students with global exposure and cross cultural

learning, understanding on how to business in Europe etc.

B. Co-Curricular activities and Extra -Curricular activities:

In addition to curricular activities, ITM gives very high importance to co-curricular and extra-

curricular activities which help students to develop their overall personality and undergo the

rigour of corporate life while studying with ITM. Extra curricular activities refer to those

activities which help student build their personality through some activities which do not come

under the realm of curricular and co-curricular activities.

Utkarsh (Unleashing the Knowledge and Reaching to Starry Heights) bring about all round

development of students personality. The Primary objective of Utkarsh Committees is to help

students think, plan and manage various curricular, extra curricular and co-curricular activities

of ITM.

There are various Committees constituted under the aegis of Utkarsh. These committees are

Academic Committee, External competition and event Committee, Public Relations and brand

management Committee,Placement Committee, Cultural even Committee, Industry Visit

committee, Alumni Committee, Public Relations and brand management, Guest Lecture,

Teaching Management Through Movies, IT, Publication, Sports, Code of Conduct,

Infrastructure maintenance and improvement, Health hygiene and environment Committee.

These committees are essentially students driven and students managed committees. The

student members of a committee are required to come out with some innovative ideas and

implement those in to some projects.

STUDY FORUMS

Study forums have been formed with a view to engage the students and the faculty members in

a particular functional area to plan and organize various curricular and co- curricular activities

by interfacing with industry practitioners. This platform is envisaged to offer opportunities to

the students to show case their talent and organizing skills to complement and supplement the

class based learning.

increase their strategic knowledge in the area of Finance and can remain updated with the

current market scenario. This forum invites Professionals from Corporate Houses, Alumni and

Guest Faculties so that students can have better exposure to the external world. Activities under

this forum nurture the students and help them in getting Summer Internships and Final

placements.

H.R. Forum

The HR Forum is formed with the basic idea of creating a platform for young and dynamic

potential HR managers of ITM Business school to showcase their talent through various

activities like guest lectures, role plays, debate competition, business quiz etc. It also helps the

students to interact with corporate professionals for understanding the tough and competitive

corridors of the corporate world, which enriches the theoretical knowledge and widens the

practical aspect of it.

students to indulge in interesting marketing games and events. This forum is lead by student

representatives and its functioning is facilitated by the faculty coordinator. Through this forum

various activities like “Punch-Out”, “Junk Marketing” etc are organized by the students. This

forum is a platform for students to interface with the industry and also provide them an

opportunity to ideate and work on their creative mind. This helps the students to learn about

various concepts and look for application of the same in specific situations. The activities of the

forum encourage students to read various resource materials beyond text books and thereby

broaden their information spectrum in the area of marketing

Operations Forum

The operations forum has established in ITM Kharghar campus in collaboration with leading

corporates of manufacturing and service sectors. This unique forum has designed by sharing the

value added support from both premium academicians as well as leading industry practitioners.

3. Innovations in curricular design and transaction:


Innovation in teaching largely refers to ways and means to make the management student employable in the industry. In ITM over the years these following innovative interventions have been made to achieve this objective:

Yoga, Pranayama and Self discovery (popularly known as Life Style Management courses)

have been introduced as three compulsory courses with a view to enhance the physical and

spiritual quotient of the student.

The NGO project and students compulsory participation in some activities such as lectures by spiritual gurus, participation in UTKARSH (Unleashing the knowledge and reaching to

starry heights) committees work and other important lectures and conferences constitute the credit course known as DRCC (Developing Responsible Corporate Citizen).

Entrepreneurship Development is another course in which innovative teaching takes place

unlike a typical classroom, lecture mode kind of teaching learning. This course requires the students to participate actively in on-site Entrepreneurship activities. Exercises specifically aimed to understand entrepreneurial abilities and skill sets. Running small businesses on the

campus and during various events on the campus and outside is emphasized. Students are expected to identify the common threads in entrepreneurship across industries, through in-class discussions, cases and presentation. Guest lectures by entrepreneurs,

venture capitalists, and service providers are also arranged. The course is comprised of both individual and team activities. Individual activities include

studying entrepreneurial ventures, identifying growth areas and developing options to grow

the business. Team activities include the running small businesses, preparation and

presentation of a business plans. Group activities also include visiting nearby enterprises and

retail outlets, studying their business models and coming out with suggestions.

The course on Business Strategy is taught through online Business Simulation package,

wherein the students simulate a business organization in a highly competitive business

environment to achieve business goals through intelligent decision process.

PGDM-RMM students participate in an industry sponsored seminar on the Emerging Trends

in retail sector in India with a focus on Manning Modern Retail. In this exercise students

conceptualize, plan and produce an audio–visual for the theme employer branding as a value

proposition to achieve superior customer experience.

Students of PGDM-RMM as a part of the course on visual merchandising and mall

management work on a feasibility report to organize retail outlet for souvenir items on the

campus to meet the requirements of the students, faculty members and staffs.

Moodle – ITM makes use of Moodle for conducting courses through online. Your way to e-

learning - More and more academic institutions is moving to e-learning today. There are two

approaches seen in e-learning. In the synchronous learning model, it is virtual class room

approach, where students can attend 'live' lectures at the scheduled hour from wherever they

are. The students can attend on-line examinations which includes quiz, True/False, objective

type questions, subjective type questions and etc which can be assessed automatically. The

for prospective mangers to operate successfully in their organizations. This is achieved by

equipping the students with conceptual and analytical abilities required for making and

implementing managerial decisions effectively.

2. Facilitated the students to learn about management courses effectively know well about

themselves in terms of their capabilities.

3. Understand the dynamics of organizational functioning; understand the environmental changes.

4. Analyzed the same and arrived at some decision-making process. At the same time, keeping into

consideration the importance of stress management on the one hand and need of value based

education on the other, students are also offered constant counseling and programs on Yoga,

stress management and self-discovery.


The college has introduced remedial classes that have helped the students to cover up their

back log, if any. More than that students get a chance to brush up their skills further.

Another innovation is that of preparing question banks which has helped ease the

burden of students and improve success rate in examinations.

The College being an affiliated to the Mumbai University & Q.M Univers i t y does

not have the option of formulating its own curriculum. Still the courses offered have

their relevance to the institutional goals and objectives. The college aims to inculcate the

highest intellectual standards through rigorous academic commitment & discipline.

Students are inspired to aspire to higher level of academic achievement by mastering the

subject chosen to study. The Institution strives towards overall development of students

and quality enhancement of learners through various aspects of holistic personality

development, orientation programs and life skill enrichment programs conducted during

their four years of academics that focuses on managerial skills, communication skills,

leadership qualities, analytical skills, etiquettes, group discussion, global warming,

awareness on environment through guest lecture, moral and ethical values, role and scope

of women in hospitality and tourism industry.

The College ensures that the University curriculum is followed in the best of the spirit.

The College academic calendar is prepared every session with the active involvement of

the College Advisory Committee and faculty members. The Principal makes sure

that the curriculum framed by the University is supplemented in such a way

that it reflects the ―mission and vision‖ of the Institution.

Regular feedback obtained from the stakeholders, with respect to the quality of the

enrichment programmes, are monitored and evaluated by the IQAC and necessary

remedial measures are incorporated in the future.

4. Inter-disciplinary programmes started:


Details of the inter-disciplinary orientation

Management itself is an integrated discipline, which borrows heavily from Decision Sciences,

Economics, Accounting and OB (Organizational Behaviour). Looking at the curricula of the

Management programs, it is evident that in the first year all the courses are compulsory and inter-

disciplinary. Whereas the second year courses by and large are specific to a particular area of

specialization. However, in the second year also some of the integrated courses, such as

Entrepreneurship for Managers and Business Strategy involve multidisciplinary approach.

Besides Capstone Project, Summer Project and NGO Project carried out by the PGDM students also

require inter-disciplinary knowledge.

ITM's contribution to community:

Today, more than ever there is an increasing necessity for the management institutes to prepare

'socially responsible managers/ leaders' as a part of their course curriculum. At ITM this

commitment was embraced in its nascent years and has since grown in leaps and bounds. Right

from its inception years, ITM has made consistent efforts towards social upliftment by maintaining

an active Social Initiatives portfolio. The credit for embracing the value of interrelated social

concerns goes to the visionary leadership of our founder Chairman Mr. P.V. Ramanna.

Ever since the setting up of our Centre of Social Initiatives in 2002, ITM has continuously evolved

interventions perceived as a new & fresh experience that progressively adds on to our understanding

of how best to structure a mechanism so as to cater to the evolving needs and concerns of society.

Through the year, ITM had build partnerships with development organizations for a variety of

programs in the social sphere. The following pages will illustrate some of the projects supported by

ITM-Centre for Social Initiatives.

The primary objective of ITM-CSI is to facilitate a forum wherein the best practices concerning

inclusive development, exchange of appropriate technologies, databases, documentaries, success

stories and best practices related to tackling social issues by business stakeholders are upheld and

disseminated to corporate CSR, NGO's and other target beneficiaries.

We promote initiatives for implementing voluntary programs, facilitating communications with

local communities and enhancing internal education and enlightenment programs. We have also

organized the Subcommittee under the UTKARSH initiative, which has both students and faculty as

members. This subcommittee deliberates together on the format and specific details of social

contribution plans.

Activities through ITM-Centre for Social Initiatives:

Anti malaria campaign in month of August 2010 -In view of the rising fear of malaria

especially in the Kharghar region, anti malaria campaign was organized by the CSI wing.

.The campaign was a mega success. Students went around Kharghar area and created

awareness on steps to be taken to prevent Malaria

Blood donation on 3rd

December 2010- As a part of the CSI activity, blood donation

campaign was organized in co-ordination with the health science dept. The Donated Blood

was transferred to NMMC and Actrc. The students voluntarily came forward in donating

blood for the noble cause. The event basically aimed at creating awareness about

Thalesimia, a dreadful genetic disorder, partnered by THINK foundation.

Cloth collection: students collected old good cloth from the Kharghar and from our own

students and were distributed to poor students in Zilla parishd School in Kharghar.

Shradha - Shradha the NGO produces several articles which were sold by members of the

committee. Shradha works for austistic adults.

Distribution of clothes shoes and toys to the students of Fanaswadi school children and tribal

Felicitation of senior citizens of Navi Mumbai on International Elders Day

Celebration of Vijay Diwas with retired army personnel

Skill building programme with Prerana

The girls aged between 18 and 22 years, after being rescued, have been looked after by

Prerana, the NGO started by Mr. Pravin Patkar & Mrs.Preeti Patkar. This NGO is dedicated

solely to help sex workers and children of sex workers reinvent their lives. ITM in

collaboration with Prerana NGO initiated a short-term course in Hospitality Operation for

the rehabilitated girls to provide 4 1/2 months program with all expenses borne by ITM.

The course offered by ITM IHM involves Cookery, Bakery, Restaurant Service,

Housekeeping, Communication and Personality development and IT skills it is completely

hands on and the training given helps them with their interpersonal skills and all round

development and finally finds employment.

Some of the girls who have completed the course are employed by IHM. While they are

studying, the girls can stay in the shelter house in Kharghar but once they find a job, they

move out into what is known as a „group home‟.

For the girls, the 4 months spent in ITM IHM are the best months of their life – They exult

in the fact that they now have skills, which will make them financially independent. They

are now able to view the world differently, forget the past and look forward to the future

with hope.

ITM takes initiative to organize training for two batches every year, where each batch

consists of 25 to 30 girls. In the past three years, six batches have trained in ITM . It is a

pride for ITM to have more than 150 girls graduating from the Institute with confidence and

self esteem.

Four of the prerana girls are currently working with us in the campus reporting to different

departments. Below mentioned are the ex-Prerana trainees who have performed very well

during their tenure and have been absorbed by the institute.

Networking with local social development agencies:

ITM engages through local social development agencies in the following ways

ST. Jude Child Care Centre (Kharghar) – ITM has entered into partnership with the centre to

provide voluntary support to strengthen the ongoing interventions

Premdan- ITM reaches out to Premdaan (kharghar) by sending the excess food cooked in the

Quantity Training Kitchen. This excess occurs due to student absenteeism. ITM also hosts a

one day Fun and Frolic New Year Party. All the faculty members of ITM IHM, students and

staff go out of their way to make this a joyous occasion to the girls of Premdaan. They

return home with arm loads of goodies and precious gifts which are functional and useful in

their daily use. This according to the inmates of Premdaan is a day they look forward to all

year round. The members of staff are also reach out by donating clothes, food and stationary

items, which the girls may require.

MHM orphanage- We are extending our support to the girls through joint celebration of

festivities (recently Diwali celebrations), sharing of gifts, preparing a website

Rotary Club Navi Mumbai Sunrise and Millenium City, Vashi- the two clubs are partners in

supporting our live project viz Project Abhivyakti. They also support us in organizing events

such as Senior Citizens Day, Blood Donation camp etc.

Dr. P. N. Singh Foundation – our collaboration was set up with the organisation way back in

1999. ITM supports the terminal education for children at the foundation. Throughout our

association we have supported 15 students. We have also organised joint events exchanging

throughts and ideas. The annual leadership summit is the biggest gathering involving leaders

from all walks of life.

Think Foundation- The organization has extended support in conducting blood donation

camps and detecting thalassemia minor amongst the students (conducts blood tests). The

sample tested positive are further called upon for counselling session. It has resulted in

reducing the risk for child birth with thalassemia major.

ACTREC- Blood donation camp is organized for cancer patients in partnership with the

TATA Memorial Hospital dedicated centre on cancer research.

Our collaboration with the above mentioned has also been translated into NGO internships

where in our students pursue live projects at selected locations.

Contribution to NGO development: ITM contributes towards NGO development in a

focused manner through one month internship programme. During this internship our

students promote management related aspects, facilitate and strengthen the relationship of

organizations with local corporates and communities. Many students undertake activities to

increase the web presence of the initiatives of the organizations. Presently nearly 47 NGOs

are engaged with ITM across India for such an internship.

23. Courses in which student assessment of teachers is introduced and the action taken on

student feedback:


Faculty feedback by students

Students‟ feedback is obtained for all the courses from all students.

In every term, two written feedbacks are taken for each course faculty in the pre-designed

format, one after 5 sessions and the other just before the completion of the trimester.

We are using the Self Study Manual of NAAC, Bangalore feedback form for teacher

evaluation by the students.

Feedback through the student class representatives and student course coordinators is also

taken

The feedback is systematically analyzed, feedback reports are documented, detailed reports

are prepared and suitable measures are initiated, counseling of the Faculty members.


A process of evaluation of faculty which is done by the students is in place in college. The feedback

form is the way by which this evaluation is the carried on. A set of questions are objectively

answered by the student for each faculty individually. Feedback received by the Principal / Dean is

reviewed & accordingly the faculty is guided in ways to improve or appraised for work well done.

the course and they are connected to a separate wireless network. All staff and faculty have

desktops or laptops which are connected to the wired network. Two interconnected server

rooms enable bandwidth sharing, content filtering and data exchange facilities. In addition to

the laptops, students can also use the computer labs for special purposes. We also subscribe to

a wide range of online resources.

Moodle - ITM makes use of Moodle for conducting courses through on-line. Moodle makes

available resources (web pages, books, files, link, and so on) and activities (forums,

assignments, quizzes, lessons, databases, glossaries, and so on) to support teaching and

learning.

Campus on Net - Our students developed a web site “Campus on Net” as part of their

capstone project. The objective of this site is to share their experience on placements. Keeping

this in mind our students developed “Campus on Net” through which they share their

experience with others who are yet to be placed. It is not only restricted to ITM students, but

students from other colleges can also register and share their experience. Currently the site has

got more than 700 students registered.

Google Docs -Through Google Docs documents can be created on the web and accessed

from any computer or smart phone. Google spreadsheets make it easy to track budgets, run

financial calculations, track data and more. We make use of Google Docs for any kind of

interaction like Major and Minor subject selection, Event Participation which can be accessed

by the higher authorities at anytime and anywhere.

Biometric software implementation and identity card project Recently we have

implemented biometric software for employee‟s attendance.


A. Online Assignment : This is one approach adapted for certain assignments and

submissions where a continuous effort is made in keeping students upgraded with the latest

technology in terms of telecommunications and fast growing use of Information Technology

in professional ways.

B. Group Mails : Institutions make students to read the mail and make correspondence by the

same to develop their skills of non verbal professional communication. It helps in certain non

working hour notices, immediate action reminders and saves lot of time. By doing this

institute is emphasizing on saving paper which acts as a small step towards nature

conservation.

28. Computer and Internet access and training to teachers and students:


We have regular training sessions for staff and faculty once in six months besides one to one

basis assistance at all times. Students are separately trained to use the laptop and online

resources provided by us.

Our next move is to train all the faculty members and students of ITM to make use of

Moodle to upload their courses and conduct on-line test.


The computer department in college always keeps updated with the latest trends in

technology. College has a well equipped computer lab with Internet facilities available for

students & faculty alike. “Fidelio” - a front office software installed for students to get a better

understanding. The computer department conducts various training sessions for the faculty and

students – thus enabling them to keep up with latest trends in technology.

For Faculty : Training sessions on how to use various systems / packages – HRIS, use of

Internet etc. is taught. This helps faculty to better their preparation for their lectures.

For Students : Training on use of MS-Office & other software installed are conducted.

39. Best practices of the institution:


When we say sharing best practices we mean that people from industry will tell students the

best way of doing things be it finance, marketing or operations. This can cover things like

making proposals, production planning or fixing a meeting with the client.

Teaching Industry Dynamics

Every industry has a unique way of doing business. They take decisions keeping in mind

their position and macro environmental factors. A student should be made aware of what are

the day to day process or care that should be taken while taking decision or finalizing any

task. This will be that particular industry specific.

Cooperate Workshops

Workshops are nothing but some sort of test or exercise designed for students to learn

working of that industry and develop his or her learning abilities or managerial skills. It is

done in collaboration with HR of that industry

Hands on Experience

Students can be told to read a specific area related to that industry and come for industry

visit. During their visit they can be part of live meetings, discussions and planning processes

for the desired task. Giving them a hands on experience of level of experience or knowledge

required for any task to be done.

Facility Tour

Facility layout has more connection with students opting for operations. However it can

interest students from marketing and finance as they will get to know the scale of production

and various admin related expenditures related to company. They can use data related to

factory requirements, processing and pros and cons to recommend necessary expansion

plans for the company. It can be a long term plan.

Guest Lecture

Guest lecture are quite common and known to everyone. Best advantage of having guest

lecturer in industry is live application of what is taught can be explained with live processes

happening.

Doubts Clearing Session

Not every student is at same intellectual level. There are chances that some

students can have doubts related to sector in which a company falls, career

related doubts, management doubts and lot more. A doubt clearing session needs

to be organized in which both industry people will question students and vise

versa.
