2. INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL (IDP)
2.1
Give the executive summary of the IDP (maximum ½ page)
National Institute of Technology Rourkela, established in 1961 has been imparting quality education in UG, PG and Research levels of engineering
under various disciplines. Apart from the UG programmes, some of the PG programmes are also as old as the institute. Over the time the institute
has evolved as very strong base for its PG and research studies and at present all the eleven engineering disciplines are offering post-graduate and
research programmes.
The quality of education in terms of qualification and experience are comparable with any other institute of higher learning in the country. NIT
Rourkela has been able to attract and retain bright candidates to its faculty pool. With regular and timely recruitment of faculty the institute has
requisite faculty strength in majority of the departments. It has a good mix of young, enthusiastic as well as highly experienced and competent
faculty. The fraction of the faculty engaged in handling sponsored R&D projects and consultancy projects from Government and Industry is
noteworthy. The institute has a very healthy faculty-student ratio (1:12) to keep up its academic and research activities. NIT Rourkela has been a
leader in introducing reforms.
The increase in student strength by addition of new programmes (both in UG and PG) and other related activities has helped in improvement of
infrastructure. A large number of large infrastructure projects for departmental activities, laboratories, common facilities, students’ hostel etc. are
ongoing to cater to the future needs of the institute. These projects, when completed will support in doubling the present strength of students in all
categories. A number of new projects are also in the pipeline.
Although the institute has been able to support its activities through Government funding and sponsored projects and IRG, there is a definite need
for enhancing the facilities and improving the standards for widening the scope of activities through a boost. Considering this, the Institutional
Development Proposal for TEQIP( Phase-II) has been prepared wherein emphasis has been given to improvement of laboratory facilities, creation of
new laboratories for post-graduate studies and research and addition of high-end equipment, training of faculty and staff, enhancement of R&D
activities, Improving industry Institute Interaction, focus on weaker students, creation of finishing school for the students. The project proposal has
been prepared with the involvement of all the stakeholders and it is based on the TNA and the SWOT Analysis. Therefore, it is expected that the
project goals will be achieved.

Provide the details of SWOT analysis carried out
Provide the details (in terms of methodology used, analysis carried out of the data and information collected and inferences
derived with respect to strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) of SWOT analysis (see Annex-V of the PIP) carried out.
Brainstorming process was conducted with various groups of the stakeholders for carrying out the SWOT Analysis for problem-solving, teambuilding and evolution of creative process. This was crucial as brainstorming needs to involve the team, which means that everyone must be able to
see what is happening. Brainstorming was structured by experts following brainstorming rules. The brainstorming process is described below.
The Steps in Brainstorming process







Define and agree on the objective.
Brainstorm ideas and suggestions having agreed a time limit.
Categorise/condense/combine/refine.
Assess/analyse effects or results.
Prioritise options/rank list as appropriate.
Agree action and timescale.
Control and monitor follow-up.
It was ensured that everyone participating in the brainstorming session understands and agrees the aim of the session. The brainstorming objective
was made simple. A time limit was allocated to enable to keep the random brainstorming activity under control and on track.
Managing the actual brainstorming activity
Brainstorming enables people to suggest ideas at random. The job is to encourage everyone to participate, to dismiss nothing, and to prevent others
from pouring scorn on the wilder suggestions. During the random collection of ideas the facilitator recorded every suggestion on the flip-chart. At
the end of the time limit or when ideas have been exhausted, groups were categorized to connect and link the random ideas. The ideas were
compiled and refined to include weaker ideas within other themes to avoid dismissing or rejecting contributions. With the group the effects and
validity of the ideas or the list were assessed, evaluated and analyzed. The ideas were developed and prioritized into a more finished list or set of
actions or options.
National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (Sub Component 1.2)
Page 14
Implementation of the actions agreed from the brainstorming
A timescale and the responsibility were agreed. After the session, notes were circulated, monitored and feedback were discussed. It is crucial to
develop a clear and positive outcome so that people feel their effort and contribution was worthwhile.
Personal brainstorming for creativity, planning, presentations and decision-making
Personal brainstorming - just by oneself - is very useful for the start of any new project, especially if one can be prone to put things off until
tomorrow. Planning a new venture, a presentation, or any new initiative, is generally much easier if one begins simply by thinking of ideas - in no
particular order or structure - and jotting them down on a sheet of paper or in a notebook. Basically this is personal brainstorming and it can follow
the same process as described above for groups. Sometimes it's very difficult to begin planning something new - because it is not known where and
how to start. Brainstorming is a great way to begin. The method also generates lots of possibilities which one might otherwise miss by getting into
detailed structured planning too early.
This technique was apparently used for clarifying written specifications or notes for a database design..
What strengths and weaknesses are examined
The strengths and weaknesses analysis is an internal examination that focuses on the past performance, present strategy, resources and
capabilities. It is based on an analysis of facts and assumptions about the institute, including:

Refining the objective and helping in the preparation of the project proposal.
Show how the results of SWOT analysis are linked to the key activities proposed in the proposal.
The SWOT analysis conducted recently covered faculty, PG and Research students, staff of the Institute. This has a very clear indication on the
aptitude and attitude of the members on taking up new challenges and creating advanced facilities for focused activities. The groups formed during
the process were involved in bringing suggestions for the project and the related activities.

NIT Rourkela has been an institute of higher learning and is a premiere institute in the country. It has so far produced more than 12000 graduate
engineers, 2000 Post Graduate Engineers in its 49 years of existence. The faculty of NIT Rourkela is engaged in active research and counting on the
National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (Sub Component 1.2)
Page 17
days from its conversion into NIT, it has produced large number of Ph.Ds. comparable to national institutes of higher learning. The curricula in all
levels have been given a serious relook to cater to the requirement of the present day and to keep pace with the advancement in technology.
However, there still remain certain areas that need to be reorganised, improved and strengthened. Under this backdrop, the specific objectives
under TEQIP-II are as follows:
 To infuse the faculty and staff, both new and old, with updated information, higher level of skill, and knowledge and they need orientation
to cope with the changed strategy in order to impart quality and meaningful education through various training programmes.
 To augment/create laboratories and facilities with a view to strengthen the research facilities in various identified areas as depicted from
the SWOT Analysis.
 To facilitate faculty and the associated staff in taking up industry oriented activities and create confidence amongst industries and other
institutes with regard to the capabilities of NIT Rourkela.
 To increase the credibility of the institute through research, consultancy, students’ welfare, students’ placement and better teaching and
learning environment.
 Enhancing intake to different PG programs by starting new courses.
 Considering the difference in quality of students admitted to B tech and M Tech, it is proposed to start 5 year dual degree programmes. This
will attract bright students to pursue research.
Expected results from Scaling-up Post graduate Education and demand-driven Research &Development and Innovation
Increase in PG and research students will
 Deliver larger number of publications in national and international journals and conference proceedings.
 Increase in number of patents filed leading to increase in patents.
2.4
Provide an Action Plan for scaling-up enrollment into Masters and Doctoral Programmes (include measures to
attract qualified students and maintain high quality standards)
The institute has already started working towards scaling up its Post Graduate programmes in engineering. All the eleven engineering disciplines in
the institute are now into the Post Graduate education programmes. Some of the departments receive large number of applications. In such
departments the programmes are being expanded to accommodate more students. The various measures taken to increase the enrollment are:

Describe the plan in details for achievement of the above targets enumerated in Table-35
Institute does not need AICTE approval for starting new programmes and change of intake strength.
The institute is in process of enhancing enrollment to PG and PhD programmes. With addition of infrastructure in pipeline the admission to
these courses increase.
Increase in MTech and PhD enrollment will culminate in increased research output in form of publications, citation, patents.
Faculty recruitment is done every year. This ensures faculty positions being filled in. In recent years majority of vacancies arise only when
people leave the institute to join IITs.
Faculty members without PhD have registered for PhD in the institute. This will enhance qualification of faculty members.
All courses are in process of applying for accreditation. Courses that become eligible will apply for accreditation.
With improvement in qualification of faculty and increased research student strength more projects will be undertaken increasing IRG.
2.14 Give an action plan to ensure that the Project activities would be sustained after the end of the Project
The project is owned by BOG. Students (PG and Ph.D.) taken under the project to be supported by institute after the completion of the
project. The research impact will be sustained through enhanced sponsored projects. The tradition has already been set and institute’s
earning through research and consultancy services is constantly rising. This is reflected from the number of sponsored project (industry &
govt.) already secured by faculty members of the institute. The increase in project funding has already contributed to increase in student
strength and research activities. The rise in these activities will provide the roadmap for sustaining the project activities.

1.17 Provide an action plan for organizing a finishing school and improving academic performance of SC/ ST/ OBC/
academically weak students through innovative methods, such as remedial and skill development class for
increasing the transition rate and pass rate with objective of improving their employability
Special summer semester programmes are conducted for students securing fail grades following spring semester examinations. This enables students
to complete the courses in which they secure fail grade. The summer course is for 6 week duration and makes a new assessment for weak students
based on their performance in summer course. Special programs are also conducted in pre-final years in order to improve and horn their technical
and soft skills. Normally 6-8 sessions are conducted during pre-final year and 2-3 sessions are conducted in final year. These sessions are normally
conducted in the weekends. Classes are taken by selected experienced faculty and external experts. The programme modules include:





Core subject (branch dependent)
Core subjects (general)
Language courses
Career planning
Soft skills including behavioral science
The institute provides scope for slow pace education for academically weak students. A student can opt for slow pace which reduces the credit in a
semester enhancing the duration of the course enabling better passing chances. Every student is assigned a faculty advisor at the time of admission
who continues till graduation. The faculty advisor counsels the students on regular basis on academic and personal issues. The faculty advisor also
advises weak students to opt for slow pace.
The action plan for weaker students involve the following




Grouping the students with respect to their need.
Conducting remedial classes on every weekend and during vacation.
Courses to be offered by experienced faculty members with provision for extra remuneration.
Provision faculty advisor for counseling and monitoring.
We propose to make groups of exceptionally bright and weak students so that the bright students can assist the weak students in academic work
thus improving the laters chances of passing examination and improving self esteem. Some of these activities will be conducted at departmental
level and majority will be conducted at institute level. These activities will be monitored and coordinated by the Nodal Officer (Equity Assurance).
