ETAILED PROJECT REPORT (DPR)

1.1 Introduction

In any country, the economy is primarily governed by three major sectors agriculture,
manufacturing and services. Education is a key element of the infrastructure required to
develop all these three sectors; in particular, technical education is certainly an essential
element of the emerging knowledge economy. India is also evolving as a hub of
manufacturing in many other sectors of engineering; hence, it is imperative to invest in
training high-quality manpower if India has to seize the available opportunity and ensure a
higher and consistent growth rate. India aspires to become a world knowledge hub which in
years to come hopes to transform millions of young people into educated global citizens.
Coupled with this is the shortage in number of engineering colleges with world class
infrastructure and qualified man power which lacks supply, pushing up the demandfor
employableengineering graduates. Looking at the sprawling demand for the Technical
executives after globalization and entry of multinational companies, Technical education
started booming in the country. However, the position of inefficient technical education
continues.

It has also been well realized and recognized that the development of technical education can
only be accelerated with the involvement of industry. A culture of understanding research and
industrial consultancy is lagging among technical institutions. Though theexpertise and research
infrastructure of resource Institution could serve industries in several ways, a majority of the
engineering colleges in the country do offer service to the industrial community on a marginal
scale.

Hence, there will always be demand among engineering aspirants for institutions offering
quality engineering education withefficient industry institute interface.

1.2 Background of the Consultants

This Institute does not need the services of external consultants as already eminent persons
with wide experience are working for various institutions of PSG & Sons Charities trust. This
report is consolidated based on their inputs and guidelines.

CHAPTER 1 PREAMBLE

1.3 Technical Education &Industry Scenario

Excellence in technical education is the key to success of any society and plays an important
role in a Nations development. Globally, excellence in higher education and especially
technical education has thrived on robust industry linkages and collaborations. Producing
quality employable and competitive graduates contributing to social and economic
development of the country through research and innovation are the two vital indicators of
excellence of engineering institutions.

Technical Education in India

Technical Education is instrumental in making the remarkable contribution to economic
growth of the developing countries by way of suitable manpower production according to
the needs of the Industry, society and the global world as a whole. India can be proud to
have the largest technical education system in the world. Today, the country produces
about one million graduates in engineering per year. This can be compared to China
producing 600000 graduates per year and U.S.A. producing about 70,000 graduates per
year. The number of technical institutions in India is about 5800. The country has a three
tier structure of higher technical education. The IITs and IISc form the first ties. The NITs,
IIITs as well as national institutions such as Institute of Technology at BHU, ZakirHussain
College of Engineering at AMU, Jadavpur University, JNTUconstitute the second tier. The
Government Engineering Colleges as well as Private Engineering Colleges form the third tier.
The growth of technical education in India over the past twenty-five years is phenomenal.
This growth has also brought along some serious concern of quality as well as efficiency.
Many experts have expressed serious concern about the quality of teaching-learning
processes of technical education in India.

Industry Scenario

Industry accounts for 26% of GDP and employs 22% of the total workforce. India is 11
th
in
the world in terms of nominal factory output according to data compiled through CIA World
Factbook figures. The Indian industrial sector underwent significant changes as a result of
the economic liberalisation in India economic reforms of 1991, which removed import
restrictions, brought in foreign competition, led to the privatisation of certain public sector

industries, liberalised the FDI regime, improved infrastructure and led to an expansion in the
production of fast moving consumer goods. Post-liberalisation, the Indian private sector was
faced with increasing domestic as well as foreign competition, including the threat of
cheaper Chinese imports. It has since handled the change by squeezing costs, revamping
management, and relying on cheap labour and new technology.

India needs to develop a strong engineering base of economy and the manufacturing base
of Indian economy needs to be strengthened. Such a strengthening needs a new ethos of
innovation and manufacturing entrepreneurship. The culture of institution which imparts
the curriculum must necessarily insist on the close interaction with industries from second
year of the programme, providing the students with continuous value addition through
process/ product improvements. Extensive training of faculty and technical staff in
institutions of higher learning like IITs and industries is a must to impart industry relevant
quality technical education. In order to nurture these values, it is necessary to set up new
academic institutions which will promote a new brand of engineering culture.

3.2 General and Technical Education Scenario of the State

Tamilnadu is one of the most literate states in India. The state's literacy rate is 80.33% in
2011,which is above the national average. A survey conducted by the Industry body
Assocham ranks Tamil Nadu top among Indian states with about 100% Gross Enrollment
Ratio (GER) in primary and upper primary education.
The Directorate of Collegiate Education was carved out of the erstwhile Directorate of Public
Instruction in the year 1965 with a view to administer exclusively the Collegiate Education
Tamil Nadu enjoys the privilege of being one of the most developed states in the Country in
the field of Higher Education. 27 Universities are functioning in Tamilnadu and of these 12
Universities are getting their Block Grants from the Government of Tamilnadu through the
CHAPTER 3 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED INSTITUTION

Directorate of Collegiate Education. Presently 444 arts and sciences colleges are functioning
under the administrative control of the Directorate of Collegiate Education
Tamil Nadu gets its pride from the fact that the first of the engineering institutions to come
into being in the country was the Survey School established in 1794 at Madras by the East
India Company, which is now the headquarters of Anna University.Tamilnadu is also a
promising state in Technical education for the last one decade. There are 570 engineering
colleges in Tamil Nadu as of December 2012. Out of 520 engineering colleges affiliated to
Anna University, six of them are Government colleges, three are Government aided
colleges, 511 self-financing colleges and four are University departments within Anna
University.

3.3 Status at Entry Level

Tamilnadu engineering and medical admissions were made on the basis of Tamilnadu
Professional Courses Entrance Examination (TNPCEE) conducted by Anna University on
behalf of the Government of Tamilnadu till the year 2006. The performance in the TNPCEE
was combined with the performance in the Class 12 Board Examination to arrive at a "cut-
off" which was used to determine the rank of the students. But, from 2007 onwards the
admission to the engineering programmes are made purely based on marks of qualifying
examinations recognized by Government of Tamilnadu, under the unified Single Window
Admission System. As the admission process is a sole discretion of the Government of
Tamilnadu, it is subject to change every year.

Qualifying Examinations
A Pass in HSC or its equivalent.
A pass in HSC (vocational Stream) with Engineering/Technology vocational subjects
and one of related subjects like Physics, Chemistry/Mathematics.
Any other equivalent qualification approved by the Higher Secondary Board of
Tamilnadu/Anna University.

3.4 Status of Technical Level manpower

The economy of a state has three segments agriculture, manufacturingand services. In
order to achieve a considerable and sustainable growth rate, it is imperative that all
threesegments have to progress simultaneously. The services sector, including IT,requires
well trained, technical manpower. The manufacturing sector requiressignificant investments
in infrastructure as well as an excellent cadre of designand manufacturing engineers. The
agriculture sector also needs personnel whoare familiar with modern techniques. In short, a
well-trained technical manpoweris a key element for the overall progress of the economy.

Tamilnadu will be a preferred destination for engineering research anddevelopment in years
to come. Several national and international R&Dorganizations will set up shops in India.
Many national and international automotive companies like Ford, BMW, Hyundai, Renault,
Nissan, Ashokleyland, Caterpillar, Mahindra, TVS motors etc. have established their
manufacturing plants in the state and some of these companies have established the Design
and Manufacturing R&D units in the state.Hence, the growth in engineering services sector
is also rising very rapidly. The R&D as well as engineering services sectors will
demandquality manpower comparable to world standards. The major limitations of the
graduates passing out from the engineering colleges are that
i. They need additional skill enhancement training to make them industry ready.
ii. Their level of self discipline and commitment to the organizational objectives need to
be improved significantly by imparting a strong foundation on traditional values.
It is hoped that proposed new Engineering Institution alongwith the already available
renowned institutions will play a pivotal role in crystallizing the development ofstate as a
hub of engineering R&D as well engineering services.


3.5 Industrial Scenario of the State

Tamilnadu is the eleventh largest state in India by area and the seventh most populous state
in India. It is the second largest state economy in India as of 2012. The state ranked 6
th

among states in India according to the Human Development Index as of 2011. The state has
the highest number (10.56 per cent) of business enterprises and stands second in total
employment (9.97 per cent) in India, compared to the population share of about 6 per cent.
In the year 2013 RaghuramRajan panel report, Tamil Nadu was ranked as the third most
developed state in India based on a "Multidimensional Development Index".

Tamilnadu has always been a forerunner in the industrial process, both in terms of industrial
output and also terms of encouraging various new large-scale projects. Having recorded an
impressive is growth industry in the post-reform span; it is poised for further industrial
development and expansion. At present the state accounts for over 11 12% of Indias
industrial output.As one of the most industrialised states in India, Tamil Nadu has been an
economic leader over the years. This is especially evident in Tamilnadus capital, Chennai,
which is one of the fastest growing cities in India and serves as a major host to a large
number of Indias manufacturing industries.

Apart from Chennai, the city of Coimbatore has a good industry heritage. The city is the
second largest software producer in Tamil Nadu, next only to Chennai. IT and BPO industry
in the city has grown greatly with the launch of TIDEL Park and other planned IT parks in and
around the city. It is ranked at 17
th
among the global outsourcing cities. Companies like Tata
Consultancy Services, Cognizant Technology Solutions, IBM, Robert Bosch GmbH, Cameron
International Corporation, Dell and Wipro have a visible presence in the city. Coimbatore is
already the second largest hub in India for Cognizant Technology Solutions as it employs
around 5000 people in its Coimbatore centre and is planning to double its capacity in the
near future. Software exports stood at 710.66 Crores (7.1 billion) for the financial year
200910 which increased by 90% from the previous year. Apart from this, there are also
several healthcare BPOs (Medical Transcription, Coding and Billing) in and around
Coimbatore serving the US Healthcare industry.


Manufacturing of automotive components is also important to Coimbatore's economy.
MarutiUdyog and Tata Motors source up to 30% of their automotive components from
Coimbatore. Coimbatore has more than 700 wet grinder manufacturers and is home to a
common facility for the manufacturers of wet grinders. Coimbatore motor and pump
manufacturing industries meet over 40% of Indias requirements.

Coimbatore is also well known for quality foundries producing significant quantity of Cast
iron, S.G iron and non-ferrous castings annually. The major original equipment
manufacturers like MarutiUdyog get their quality castings from Coimbatore and the
precision castings manufactured here are being exported for various countries. Machine
tool Manufacturers of Coimbatore are also playing a major role in meeting the local
requirements of Indian Machine Tool Industry.

Coimbatore also houses a large number of medium and large textile mills. It also has central
textile research institutes like the Central Institute for Cotton Research (CICR) and
SardarVallabhai Patel International School of Textiles and Management. The South Indian
Textiles Research Association (SITRA) is also based in Coimbatore. The city also houses two
of the Centers of Excellences (COE) for technical textiles proposed by Government of India,
namely Meditech, a medical textile research centre based at SITRA, and InduTech based in
PSG College of Engineering and Technology. The neighbouring city of Tirupur is home to
some of Asias largest garment manufacturing companies, exporting hosiery clothes worth
more than 50,000 million.

3.6 Scope of the College vis a-vis the Industrial Scenario and Educational Facilities
already available in the State

Education system in any country is linked with the pressure of the job or career market.
There has been a phenomenal growth in the jobs required in IT sector. However, a peculiar
situation has arisen in the country. All engineering graduates get their training in any branch
of engineering such as Mechanical Engineering or Civil Engineering etc. However, right after
graduation, they join jobs in IT sector. The need of this sector is so huge that new recruits
are given a crash course, called Finishing School, and are inducted in the job hurriedly. In
fact, in almost all engineering institutions a considerable percentage of students after
graduation are joining jobs in financial sector or IT sector and not in their field of

graduation.This trend also influences recruitment of other core engineering sectors to a
larger extent. Those industries find it very difficult to get the right candidates resulting in an
imbalance. This issue should be clearly addressed and students must be sent out of an
institution as employable engineers by their core engineering industries. The proposed new
engineering institutionplans to address this primary issue. The learning objectives of each
programme are to be clearly defined and teaching learning processes will be adopted such
that the stipulated outcomes for each of the course are clearly attained. It has been planned
to well train the students in their core engineering disciplines giving them enough industry
exposure.

Value added courses will be imparted to the students with the support of industry experts
to make the students industry ready and globally competitive. Compulsory internship for
the students in industries for a specified period will enhance the awareness of industrial
practices. With the help of CII and other industrial bodies in Coimbatore, the industry-
institute interaction will be greatly strengthened. Linkages with institutions of higher
learning like IITs and faculty training in subject areas and industries will be the major focus
areas to make the proposed institution distinctly unique in providing quality man power to
the Indian industries. Efforts will be consistently made to prepare the students in self
discipline, selfless service and holistic thinking based on values.

A placement cell will be constituted with the clear objective to place the students in their
core disciplines.


4.1 Basic academic philosophy of the institution

Technology is transforming our times and our lives, no longer on a scale of decades but of
years and even months. A successful career through such changing times requires
engineering graduates endowed with skills that are applicable to widely different
technologies, skills that transcend the details of any one job. Such is the result of an
education that pays much more attention to the fundamental than to the trendy, to the
creative more than to the routine. Engineers must also be firmly educated as responsible
citizens, concerned with the impact of their work on society.

The basic academic philosophy of the Institution is, to focus on the inclusive development of
the student with a focus on learning outcome based education rather than the traditional
Examination centric model of education. The programme educational objectives will be
evolved and refined periodically and the necessary course contents will be added in the
appropriate timethereby reducing the gap between the industry and academic
curriculum.Each Programme would be comprehensive to provide the students with
sufficient inputs and training in recent skills so as to help them embark on a technical
professional career. Apart from providing core inputs related to the specific programme, the
student will also be provided with an exposure to inter-disciplinary areas. Added to this the
student will be trained to increase their competence in communication skills, reasoning
skills, critical and creative thinking capabilities and a capacity and drive for continuous Self
Learning and development.

Skill development and assimilation of concepts will be reinforced through extensive tutorial
classes and quality laboratory exposure with adequate support from faculty. Emphasis will
be on hands-on training to the students and preparing them to do independent work and
present their achievements in conferences and journal publications. Periodic workshops to
bring out their latent talents through group discussion will enable the students to develop
holistic thinking with strong reasoning skills.

6.1 Academic Values

The academic values of an educational institution drive its processes towards achieving
quality. The educational institution is in an unique position where adolescents enter its
portals, spend few critical years in their life where they formulate many general principles to
guide them through the rest of their life. Thus, it is important for the institution to facilitate
formulation of morally and ethically correct principles in its students so that when they
graduate they become positive contributors to the society; they form part of and serve.
Two aspects of values will be emphasized in the faculty and through them the students
personal ethos and professional ethos. The institution will emphasize and promote the
following values: truth, togetherness, honesty & integrity, gratitude to nature, non
violence& love towards the creation, purity of thought, work & deed; freedom to pursue
knowledge, to experiment and enhance effectiveness; holistic thinking, harmony & selfless
service to society.

6.2 Recruitment Strategies for Attracting and Retention of Faculty Personnel for
Excellence Promotional Avenues Career Ladder

The faculty will be a mix of experience and fresh talents. The institution will attract talented
and ambitious for its faculty positions. There will be an open application system for inviting
interested professionals for expressing their intent to join. Periodically (once in six months)
there will be a recruitment drive. The positions will be advertised in leading national
newspapers and professional journals and the institutes website. The applicants will be
shortlisted, based on accomplishments of the applicant and suitability to the institution.
From the shortlisted candidates, selection will be made based on interview by a committee.
AICTE guidelines for promotional growth will be followed. The faculty will be provided a
clear plan in their career growth based on their contributions in academics and research.
However, all contributions to the institution will be recognized and rewarded suitably.

CHAPTER 6 QUALITY AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

6.3 Policies for Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff Development

Continual skill improvement will be necessary to impart progress to the educational efforts.
Two aspects of improvement is envisaged knowledge improvement and skill
enhancement. Opportunities for both teaching and non-teaching staff will be provided to
participate in both types of development, appropriate to the duties expected of them. The
institute will organize a few programs for the benefit of its own staff as well as the
participation of staff from other institutions. Also, our staff will be encouraged to
participate in programs organized by other institutions. Budget for staff development will
be allocated to facilitate the process. Development needs of each member will be assessed
yearly, and suitable programs planned for the individual. Technical training for faculty and
non-teaching staff will be arranged in industries and institutions of higher learning.
Behavioral competency training will also be imparted to faculty and non-teaching staff
periodically in order to improve their interpersonal relationships. Also, staff will be
encouraged to enhance their qualification through part-time study programs, TEQIP
programs or sabbatical studies, as appropriate.

6.4 Permanent and Contract Services for Teaching Non-Teaching and other support
Personnel

Since the institution is planned as a new establishment, the initial efforts will be to identify
staff teaching and non-teaching most suitable to meet the dual objectives of academic
excellence and institutional building. Thus, professionals qualified to satisfy the diversity of
the curriculum content will be identified for recruitment. It is also likely that some very
capable talent may not be available for long term commitment with a new institution. In
such a scenario, their services will be obtained through short term contracts. Thus, faculty
could be obtained on loan from sister organizations, as visiting faculty from industry or
leading academia, as emeritus faculty, etc.

6.5 Total Quality Management

In general, quality systems in service sector are more difficult to implement and guarantee
to the customer. Nevertheless, it will be the policy of the management to strive for quality

assessment and improvement, even under difficult circumstances. Thus, quality parameters
in education, content delivery, assessment and evaluation will be identified and
implemented. Student counseling will be undertaken with the help of mentors to provide
valuable guidance to students.Standardized practices of continuous improvement process
will be established. Feedback from the stakeholders will be obtained and efforts to improve
the system will be made compulsory. Transparency of the system administration with
professional software solutions will be extended to all stake holders.Rewards to faculty and
students will be provided each semester for their academic & research excellence. Training
of manpower on quality improvement will be routinely practiced, so that quality
improvement is made systematic.

6.6 Overall Teaching and Non Teaching Staff Requirement

The institution plans to start five programmes in the first phase of establishment. The
syllabi and curricula for the programmes have been developed; the laboratories for the
programmes have been planned as elaborated in Chapter 4. Faculty and staff for the
delivery of the programs will be in consonance with the academic plan. Adequate faculty to
support the support the students in tutorial classes and laboratory work will be appointed.
The guidelines for minimum staff suggested by the governing body will be adhered to.
However, the qualification and competence of the staff will be decided by the academic
content planned for delivery. The staff will be recruited in a phased manner to meet the
complete programme requirement in 3 years.


7.1 Introduction

Education, in general, is used in society as an empowering agent, through exposure to
knowledge and training to impart skills. Technical education, in particular, has the dual role
of enlightenment and service to society through applications of engineering and technology
skills. Thus, it is imperative that a technical institution is in contact with its stakeholders to
assess their needs and suitably provide trained technical manpower to meet those
requirements.

7.2 Linkages with Industry

Industry is constantly exposed to the challenges posed by the market, whether it is resource
availability, product innovation or waste management. Thus, many problems faced by
industry which have long term implications are most fruitfully tackled with the involvement
of academia. A regular platform for industry interaction where experts from both academia
and industry come together to identify such problems / opportunities will set forth areas for
contribution. Also, expertise from industry will be requested to share their unique
perspectives as a part of value added courses for our students to make them industry-ready
upon graduation. Internship for students win industries will be arranged with support from
industries as a part of the curriculum. Faculty and staff training in industries will be
periodically arranged in order to enable the faculty and staff to train our students
effectively. Collaborations to undertake nationally / globally significant projects can also
leverage talents from both sides to contribute significantly. Close interaction with PSG
Industrial Institute & PSG Foundry, the other institutions of PSG group will be of immense
use in this context.

7.3 Linkages with the Community

Linkages with the community being served by the institute, such as schools, families, small
sale businesses, neighborhoods, civic organizations, etc. is deemed essential by the
management. The purpose of such interactions is to identify the aspirations of the
CHAPTER 7 LINKAGES IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION

community, identify problems which could be solved by involvement, such as through NSS,
development of technical solutions for local problems such as solving sanitary problems,
etc. Outreach activities by our faculty and students for the benefit of nearby school children
will form a part of corporate social responsibility of our institution. Other programmes like
household women empowerment, training of women in specialized technical skills like CNC
programming and training of school teachers will be periodically arranged to extend close
linkages with the community.

7.4 Linkages with Other Technical Institutions in The region

Sharing of expertise, participating in continuing education programmes, sharing resources
such as research facility for student projects will be the basis of establishing linkages and
strengthening ties between similarly poised organizations. Close interaction with Centre for
Faculty Development (CFD), Anna University for faculty training in engineering subjects will
be arranged. Similar support from faculty of PSG College of Technology, the nearby sister
institution will also be availed.

7.5 Linkages with institutions of excellence such as the IITS and IISC, Bangalore

Institutions of excellence are so because of the caliber of their faculty and the infrastructure
investment by the government. Involvement of faculty from such institutions in advisory
roles, such as curriculum development, pedagogical training, training in teaching specialized
subjects, faculty recruitment, etc. will be explored. They will be invited for special lectures
and workshops. Collaborations on research will also be explored in mutually interesting
areas. Support from other renowned institutions like NIT Trichy, NIT Calicut, IIM Kozhikode,
IIM Bangalore etc. will be availed in order to enhance the quality of teaching-learning
process in the campus.

7.6 Linkage Abroad

Interaction with foreign institutions has the potential to leverage the advantages of both the
institutions. Areas of interaction will include student exchange programmes, staff exchange

visits, sabbatical visits, joint research programmes, etc. The terms of interaction will have to
be based on mutual strengths, and hence international collaborations will be explored after
establishment of strong foundations, say three years after initiation. Visits of senior faculty
abroad will be explored yearly in order to study the effective teaching-learning processes
and the establishment of innovative laboratories for the benefit of students.

7.7 Linkage with R&D Laboratories

Interactions with R&D labs will be based on identification of mutual strengths and possibility
of contribution. Based on the programmes initiated, laboratories involved in these areas
will be identified for student training, projects & special training. Also, assistance to lab
personnel for qualification enhancement through part time / full time research programmes
will be offered. Linkages with typical R&D institutions like DRDL Hyderabad, ADA Bangalore,
ISRO Trivandrum will be established in order to promote research culture in our Institution.


8.1 Philosophy of Governance
