What practices have you adopted to compensate for the lack of peer-to-peer learning?

“Organizing student groups and evaluation within themselves”

Faculty members are endorsed to conduct periodical quizzes, assignments and seminars to judge student performances of their courses. Once a faculty is able to position the student performance using the aforesaid parameters; the rest is a student-driven procedure based on the aforesaid peer-to-peer learning technique. We have started grouping our students based on performances. Course instructors form groups of students using the top 5 and least 5 performances of their course. Likewise, batches of 10 students are grouped using subsequent end-to-end 5 performances. A list of assignments and activities is framed for each group of students with appropriate deadlines. Groups will internally share their solutions among themselves and with other groups. Group discussions on the solutions of assignments are regularly held during tutorial hours of respective courses. This is a new peer-to-peer learning technique put forth to blend good and average performing students of all our courses. 

Tell us about the Placements at your institution?

“Advanced IT-based job opportunities for students”

We are one of the top-ranked institutes in the district as far as the placements are concerned. The tendency of placements appears to en-route more towards information and technology (IT) based companies, with skimpy opportunities for students in core companies. However, irrespective of the specialization or graduation: recruiters often look for students with good soft skills, complex problem-solving capabilities, critical thinking and flexibility at work.
