Electrical Department, K. K. Wagh Institute of Engineering Education and Research, Nashik: June 2021

From HoD’s Desk:

During offline teaching, before the pandemic, the month of May used to be the month of examinations for students and the month of industrial training, paper assessment, and vacation for faculties. This pandemic has changed the complete academic schedule of the University and thereby institute. In May, we conducted practical/oral examinations of Semester I of SE and TE and continued teaching of Semester II for BE. After that, a separate slot for conducting only practical sessions of Semester II was scheduled for all, of course in online mode, which we find difficult for some subjects. Faculties prepared videos of practical sessions and shared them with students.
Although we are off-track, University is trying to complete all the academic activities of this academic year 2020-21 by the end of June, at least for SE, TE, and BE. The priority is for Final Year students, as they will be having their MS, M.Tech, MBA admissions, company joining's, joining competitive exam classes, etc.
This month, faculties were also busy in achieving targets set to achieve Quality Objectives decided by IQAC. In all, everything was smooth and full of learnings for both faculties and students.
