The Academic Committee's primary responsibility is to serve as a conduit for communication between students
and faculty. This committee's goal is to keep students aware of their academic standards while also reducing
inhibitions. It serves as a forum for teachers and students to interact on a regular basis. In addition, it organizes
academic achievement functions for students in order to recognize their academic excellence. It takes up a lot of
space and responsibility for instilling best practices in future student communities for a brighter future.
For each topic, each faculty member creates a detailed course plan that includes the textbook (s), reference
book(s), web resource(s), and technological tool(s) to be used. It also includes topics that will be covered
outside of the curriculum and will only be distributed to students after the Head of the Department has
approved them.
To communicate the subject, new and innovative teaching strategies are used in addition to the traditional
lecture style. Learner-centric strategies such as collaborative learning, video lectures, quizzes, group
discussions, and so on are used to encourage students' active participation.
Faculty members prepare solutions for mathematical and analytical subjects, as well as assignments and
assessments that include previous university problems and other important questions. A periodic review of the
syllabus coverage and students' regularity is conducted by the HOD/Dean Academic, who is followed by the
principal. Class representatives meet on a regular basis to solicit suggestions for improving the teaching-
learning process.
The Institute gets students admitted to different programs from diverse backgrounds and through social
reservations defined by the State Government of Andhra Pradesh. The institute has a well-defined mechanism

opportunities & openings. We as a professional unit, grabbed these opportunities by connecting with the
students virtually to train them specifically targeting placements with higher package.
Inorder to inculcate research culture in the institute, the faculty are encouraged with research incentives for
publishing research articles, books, patents etc.
As a part of social responsibility, the institute has adopted a village by the name PEDABRAHMADEVAM. A
team of faculty and students frequently conduct activities related to women and child hygiene, nutrition, blood
grouping, cleaning of school premises etc.
Concluding Remarks :
We were accredited with B grade in cycle 1 of the NAAC accreditation, working on getting NBA accreditation
for 5 departments. Based on the feedback recieved from the peer team, we have made changes to our entire
planning and thereby made improvement in leaps and bounds. Our research contributions have improved
considerably. We have done all that we can to adopt NEP and particularly progressed a lot towards
implementing OBE. We still have a lot of scope for improvement and it is a continuous process.
