Academic Philosophy

All the students are encouraged to meet their academic goals and to work hard to maximize their academic potential. Students, faculty and staff of the Institute play an active role in the educational process, so that students imbibe the spirit of inquiry, discovery, critical analysis, problem handling, decision making, and love of life-long learning, creativity, responsibility, generic skills, collaboration, leadership, independent thinking, and thereby enhancing avenues open for individuals, organizations and society as a whole. The range of learning outcomes achieved by students on the programme will vary according to their Award.

Demonstrate an understanding of the various aspects of engineering, technology and management;

Understand and evaluate theoretical frameworks;
Undertake appropriate independent research;
Analyze and suggest appropriate responses to technological and managerial issues;
Identify appropriate practical strategies;
Develop capabilities in working with and managing others;
