companies visited the campus offering an average salary of Rs.3.5 Lakhs.
A fulltime mental health professional and placement officer’s services are made
available.
2.2.3 WEAKNESSES:
Though over a period of time the Institute has moved from strength to strength, there are few
weaknesses, providing scope for continuous improvement. Following are some of the areas calling
for attention of the management:
The Institute is located in a rural setup with attendant logistical inconveniences.
37
Being far off from industrial centres, the possibilities of regular industry interface are
reduced.
Opportunities for securing industrial consultancy and research programs are also
affected to some extent.
The Institute is also finding it a little difficult to attract industry experts for interactions
with the faculty and students.
Though the Institute has flexibility in curriculum design, education delivery and
evaluation, the much needed freedom of student admissions is yet to be realized. This
would be possible only when the Institute is brought within the ambit of Nitte
University.
There is a general fear of increased work load among the faculty members due to
continuous assessment and concomitant pressures of academic autonomy.
There is also a minor fear among the students about the possible abuse of the powers
under academic autonomy by the system.
2.2.4 OPPORTUNITIES:
With the increased emphasis on expanding the frontiers of technical education to meet the ever
increasing demand for qualified manpower to propel the growth engine, NMAMIT has immense
opportunities for realizing its dreams of expansion and excellence. The Institute, with its proven
track record and internal strengths of visionary management, infrastructural advantages and
committed faculty can seize the opportunities ahead. The grant of autonomous status to the Institute
would also provide enormous opportunities to the faculty members, students, alumni and the
management. In particular the following are the forthcoming opportunities:
(i) Introduce industry oriented academic programs at the undergraduate and post
graduate levels.
(ii) Establish centres of excellence in emerging areas like nano-technology, bio-
technology, renewable sources of energy, mechatronics & etc.,
(iii) Collaborate with the industry in R&D and training initiatives.
(iv) Identify the areas of thrust for post graduate education and encourage research
based on demand driven applications leading to innovation.
38
(v) Be a nodal centre for facilitating research and consultancy projects for the faculty
members of neighboring institutions.
(vi) Be a facilitator for rural technology transfer and be a partner in rural development.
(vii) Make fuller utilization of the academic freedom under autonomous system with a
sense of responsibility and accountability for imparting quality education to the
students;
(viii) Create a visibility for the Institute as a centre of excellence at the National and
International level through collaborations with Indian and foreign universities.
(ix) Build reputation to be recognized as a deemed- to- be university..
2.2.5 THREATS:
Though the significance of higher technical education cannot be over emphasized, the increased
thrust on looking at education as a means of livelihood and career advancement can eventually result
in alienation of the student community from the mainstream of human endeavors. NMAMIT too, has
to address the larger challenges of changed approach to looking at education in the era of
globalization wherein education is increasingly getting commoditized and commercialized.
Following are some of the threats in the emerging scenario:
Massive expansion of technical education and increasing competition.
Entry of foreign universities with new programs and comparative advantages.
Emergence of unscrupulous educational entrepreneurs with purely commercial, rather
than service motives.
Uncertainties in the policies of the Government and regulatory bodies pertaining to
higher education.
Increasing cost of technical education without control over fee fixation affecting
financial viability.
Inherent difficulties in competing with the industry in attracting talent for teaching
assignments.
39
2.2.6 SUMMARY:
It is evident from the above analysis that NMAMIT has enough opportunities to emerge as a
provider of quality technical education at the national level. It has all the strategic intent and
requisite facilities for realizing its vision of turning out globally competent technical manpower.
With the increased emphasis on higher education and the growing demand for qualified technocrats,
the Institute has bright and radiant future ahead.

Engineering education became a main attraction after 1990 when India became a major
contributor to the global IT industry revolution. In the last two decades, many State
Governments have encouraged the idea of self‐financed Engineering Institutions where
State Government does not provide financial support but facilitates the setting up of such
institutions. As a result, the Indian system of Engineering Education has become vast and
so far a total number of 2388 Engineering Degree institutions have been established
Through the initiatives of both the central and the state governments, Karnataka has been
at the forefront in technical education in India for a long time. At present, national- level
Institutions like, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Indian Institute of Management,
Bangalore and National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, state- level technological
university, viz.,, VTU, affiliating~170 engineering colleges of the government,
aided(public-private joint sector) and private(self-financing) types, other state universities
69
such as, Bangalore and Kuvempu, each having a university constituent engineering
college of long standing, and a number of private(self-financing) deemed universities
(under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956) with many of them offering
engineering/management programmes at UG/PG degree levels and research at M.S
(Engg.)/Ph.D levels, have been contributing significantly to technical education
opportunities in the state. While the state has been attracting merited and talented students
for its technical education programmes from all over Karnataka, its technical institutions
have also been open to merited and talented students from other parts of India and even
from abroad in some cases, Major efforts in the state in recent years, to meet the
requirements of basic criteria of its technical education programmes, like access, equity,
quality, excellence and relevance.
Following are the few initiatives of Govt. of Karnataka and VTU to enhance the
opportunities of technical education in Karnataka :
Identifying 14 engineering colleges under three universities in the state, viz., VTU.
Bangalore and Kuvempu from the three sectors, viz., university, aided and private,
for World Bank funding under Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme
(TEQIP) of Government of India (MHRD), during 2005--08;
Encouraging all the technical institutions in the state to take up periodic assessment
and accreditation of their programmes by NBA, so as to ensure the maintenance of
their quality and excellence at high levels;
70
Permitting the setting up of new technical institutions and deemed universities in the
state and launching new programmes and/or increasing students’ intake in the
existing ones, so as to improve access, equity and relevance of technical education;
While these efforts have generally contributed to improve the access and equity of technical
education opportunities, they are not yet adequate for the state to keep pace with the world-
wide developments and trends in technical disciplines. Moreover, they are also not sufficient
for Karnataka to become self-reliant and self-sustaining in technical education for meeting
the 21st century challenges being faced by technical professionals in the country.
Government of Karnataka has made its concentrated efforts to tackle the issues of exponential
growth in technical education. This effort includes producing of quality graduates through the
quality education. However, the expected target could not be reached due to the restricted
availability of the qualified faculty. It is also noted with great concern that there is a vide gap
between quality & quantity in technical education. The quality of education and training
being imparted in the Engineering education institution varies from excellent to poor and
hence, there is an absolute need to bridge this gap.
Following are some of the concerns in Engineering Education System which needs to be
addressed to ensure the quality of technical education:
a) Faculty shortage/upgradation:
The massive expansion of institutions has resulted in an estimated faculty shortage of qualified
faculty with PhD and Masters Degree. In some of the important disciplines such as IT and related
areas, availability of faculty is dismal. The reasons could be:
• The institutions are not able to attract and retain good quality faculty due to archaic
recruitment and promotion procedures, absence of incentives for quality performance, and
non‐existent faculty development policies in most institutions.
• Shortage of training opportunities and attention to overall growth of faculty is adversely
affecting impartation of quality knowledge and skills to students thereby lowering their
employability (only 25% at present). The faculty also lack communication and pedagogical
skills.
71
b) Industry‐Academia collaboration:
At present, this collaboration is at a nascent stage. Industry‐Academia collaboration involves two
key aspects—inputs to curriculum development and internships for students. Increasing
Industry‐Academia collaboration requires:
(i) Overcoming the distrust between the two partners;
(ii) Identification of win‐win partnerships in terms of sharing technical knowledge; and
(iii) Incentives to institutions and faculty for collaboration.
c) Stagnating research:
Increasing research that caters to the emergent Industry and societal demand for technological
solutions results in directly and indirectly improving knowledge and quality of faculty, which in turn
would benefit students. A growing number of Indian firms are keen to collaborate with academia to
enhance their competitiveness. Active research programmes in engineering institutions would also
make meaningful contribution for sustainable technological development in India.
d) Attracting students to become faculty:
The attraction of students for a faculty position depends on salary package, perks/facilities and
professional career. Industrial sector salaries have increased significantly in the last few years but the
increase in faculty salary with comparable experience is marginal. Furthermore, in many institutions,
there is a problem in provision and maintenance of standard amenities of accommodation, medical
attention, good quality schooling in residential campus, etc. Additionally, other facilities like holiday
homes, availability of low interest loans, etc. that is provided by public sector, is lacking in
educational institutions. The non‐availability of research funds and quality research students is also
72
holders is now seen to be seriously undermining quality of education (due to high proportion of
under qualified faculty).
All these factors indicate very clearly that there is a need to scale up post graduate & doctoral
studies & also encourage innovations through research & development activities. This
institutional development proposal prepared for inclusion under sub-component 1.2 of TEQIP
phase II aims at addressing these issues completely & to transform the institution as a center of
excellence and as a nodal centre for training to produce best quality graduates, post graduates
and doctorates. This will be done by aligning to the development plan of Government of
Karnataka.
All departments were given the task of carry-out SWOT analysis. Core committee of
each department met together to arrive at SWOT analysis for the institution. Similar
exercise was also assigned to an external agency for SWOT analysis. Both the analysis
were examined thoroughly by the Management, Deans & HODs to finalize the SWOT
analysis
All departments were assigned the task of training need analysis(TNA). Departments
carried-out gap analysis by mapping the expertise available to the requirement. They
also finalized the training calendar for their teaching and supportive non-teaching staff.
Departments have also identified the need to establish research facilities and new
laboratories for existing and new PG programs. Accordingly, the list of equipment and
procurement plan are prepared by the departments itself.
All departments have formed TEQIP project implementation unit which will in co-
ordination with institutional project implementation unit.

2.13 Provide the targets against the deliverables listed in Table-16
82
(b) Describe the plan in detail for achievement of the above targets enumerated in
Table 16.
Increase in intake for all existing PG programs. Proposal for the same will be submitted to
AICTE, VTU and State Govt. for approval.
New PG programs will be introduced in areas of thrust which will increase the enrolment for
PG studies
All the departments will be recognized as Research centres and all Ph.D holders will be
registered as guides. This will increase the enrolment for doctoral studies.
State-of-the-art Research facilities will be provided to attract researchers to carry-out their
Ph.D work at our institution.
Institution will make all efforts to collaborate with industries, foreign universities and other
research organizations to offer joint PG programs and research projects.
Faculty members and researchers will be encouraged with incentives to publish their work in
refereed journals and reputed conferences. Publishing technical papers based on their project
/ research will be made mandatory. These measures will increase the publications in refereed
journals / conferences at National / international level.
Campus recruitments will be strengthened by inviting more number of companies to the
campus. Placement cell formed for this purpose, headed by a senior professor will also
organize for additional inputs on soft-skills along with technical inputs to make our students
more employable. All these exercises will raise the confidence of employers which in turn
will be reflected in terms of number of recruitments & package to be offered.
Institution has a streamlined procedure to depute faculty for higher studies with full salary.
While deputing, care will be taken to fill the gap in specialization and also the possibilities of
introduction of new PG program and area of research. This has enabled the faculty to register
for Ph.D program in their areas of their research interest. It is expected that at least 8-10
faculty members complete their Ph.D every year.
Institution has entered into MOU with few foreign universities of repute for faculty and
student exchange programs. Collaborative research projects are planned to offer post-
doctoral studies. Faculty members with Ph.D qualification are encouraged to avail sabbatical
leave facility to pursue post-doctoral studies.
83
Pro-active, progressive management has several schemes to attract and retain good faculty in
the organisation. Institution has the required number of faculty to keep staff : student ratio to
1:15. However, the shortage in terms of cadre ratio will be leveled by qualification up-
gradation and promotions.
2.14 Indicate the action plan to ensure that the Project activities would be
sustained after the end of the Project.
The increased enrolment of students for UG, PG and Ph.D programs will generate
revenue which will be sufficient to sustain project activities
New UG and PG programs to be started will increase the revenue of the institution
Consultancy and industry sponsored projects by the faculty of the institution also
generates revenue which will be sufficient to sustain certain project activities
CEP and QIP activities of the institution will also contribute to the revenue
Management of the institution is committed to continue all project activities through this
increased revenue even after the end of the project
