The Vision and Mission of our Institution are deeply rooted in fostering the holistic development of students. To realize this overarching goal, the institution has dynamically incorporated various components into its curriculum over time. The curriculum is designed to be flexible and innovative, offering Open Electives and Skill-Based Lab Electives, enabling students to explore courses from diverse disciplines. Furthermore, social activities have been integrated as mandatory for award of degree, ensuring that students are exposed to real-world societal issues.
The UG curriculum places emphasis on Basic Sciences and Humanities as compulsory courses, contributing 30 credits. The flexibility of the curriculum is further exemplified by the provision for Open Electives from Basic Sciences and Humanities.
The Choice-Based Credit System provides students with a plethora of options, including Open Electives, Skill-Based Electives, Project-Based Learning, and Professional Electives. Additionally, the curriculum integrates mandatory components such as Social Work, Environmental Studies, Human Values, Professional Ethics, and Design Thinking, the latter encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to address societal challenges. The institution actively supports student participation in Hackathons and hosts lectures by eminent personalities for a comprehensive educational experience.
The academic regulations facilitate multiple entry and exit options at the end of each academic year, without compromising the rigor of the curriculum. Skill training is embedded at key milestones, with 10 Credit skill training required after completing 40 and 80 credits at the end of the first and second years, respectively. Collaborations with industries provide opportunities for skill development.
The institution further facilitates interdisciplinary learning by offering Open Electives, allowing students to pursue courses from other departments. Credits can also be acquired through MOOCs courses, reflecting a commitment to staying abreast of advancements in the digital age. Additionally, the institution is actively planning to introduce Minor and Honors programs alongside the existing UG offerings, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability to evolving educational paradigms.
Faculty members are encouraged to apply for funded projects in multidisciplinary research areas, and a designated senior Professor guides young faculty in proposal writing. The Dean of Research & Development oversees these activities. The faculty members are also engaged in consultancy across various disciplines. An exclusive E-Mobility center, led by a senior Professor, focuses on research and consultancy activities related to Electrical Vehicle technologies. Individual departments are encouraged to engage in research, and faculty members are motivated to participate in project guidance as co-guides, promoting a culture of continuous learning.
Under the umbrella of the Gayatri Vidya Parishad, the parent body of the institution, efforts are underway to integrate various sister institutions, fostering collaboration and planning for the initiation of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary courses. Currently, the institution is actively pursuing recognition as a deemed-to-be university through an application with the University Grants Commission (UGC), a development that would significantly ease its growth aligned with its vision and mission.
