SWOT analysis of the department and Future plans Strengths: • Obtained NBA accreditation for three years (2012-2015). • 100% of faculty members have PG degree. • Department obtained MODROB scheme to strength advanced data communication and security labs [Ref: (12/AICTE/RFID/MOD(policy4) pvt-46/2012-2013)]. • Department conducted national seminars, short term courses and staff development program in various fields. • Library services and already subscribed for some online digital library access like IEEE, Elsevier etc. • Have dedicated Faculty members including staff members who deliver their expertise, flexibility and service for achieving the high level of quality of the students. • The Institute has got a very strong Alumni network placed in almost all leading industries, R&D organizations and educational institutes in India and abroad. It maintains database of this Alumni, who visit institute frequently and help students with seminars, conferences and placement etc • Good Infrastructural Support - The students and other members of IEM family are given 24 hours library facilities. 24 hours Internet connectivity is also made available. The Institute is WI-Fi enabled. - Over head and LCD projectors are extensively used for teaching. - Good laboratories are present in the department. • We have a very strong Entrepreneurship Development Cell. Weaknesses: • Laboratories need more investments for higher level of Post Graduate programme and industry based R&D. Weakness in fund position prevents us to get custom made simulator and simulation software packages & high value instrumentation. 314 | P a g e • We could have given better level of training to all levels of our employees had we been in a more economically viable position. • Bearing the cost of R&D at times becomes a real challenge with our fixed tuition fees and fixed number of students as fixed by the regulatory authorities. Hence our revenue has remained the same for the past few years though operation cost has increased substantially. Funding for R&D activities remained a perennial weakness. • To retain the good faculties with us, we need to expand our R&D activities. This needs larger investments in R&D. But paucity of fund is a constraint Opportunities: • National and International conference/workshop/seminar being conducted for various educational improvement and social responsibility. • Expansion of social development activities. • Furtherance of research activities through internal funds as well. • We have a very strong Entrepreneurship Development Cell. We hold the credit of being national level champion of NEN (National Entrepreneurship Network) for the last two years. This year also we have won the championship. We have developed incubation centre where our students get all help and guidance for start-up companies. With better R&D facilities, the prospective entrepreneurs can do a better job. These entrepreneurs would be resource to our IEM students Threats: • Due to the high reputation of IEM faculty, industry encourages teachers of the institute to migrate to the industry. This can be countered by providing adequate equipments and facilities to the staff and encouraging them to pursue Ph.D/Post doctoral work. This threat, if properly tackled will provide a large knowledge base for the institute. Thus with adequate injection of resources, this threat may be converted in to an opportunity. 315 | P a g e • In order to make a reputation of being an excellent institute with wide opportunities, R&D work needs to be augmented. Urgent fund infusion is needed for this activity. Unless we infuse fund immediately we are under threat of losing brilliant teachers to more reputed institutes with better R&D facilities. Future plans: • Planning to introduce integrated program in the institute. • Planning to implement student exchange program with other educational institutes. • Undertake research projects and consultancy works. 316 | P a g e BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRTION 1.
