e-Newsletter - October 2021

From HoD’s Desk

Greetings!

October symbols the beginning of festivals like Dussehra and Diwali and with that, it is also known for the month of examinations. Due to pandemics, although the complete academic calendar has been shifted from the track, the University In-Semester Examination is conducted in the last week for third-year and final-year students. It is expected that the first-year and direct second-year admissions will begin in the next month after the declaration of CET results.

This month, the institute faced the committee of experts from UGC for granting academic autonomy to the institute. One of the members of the committee visited the department and department laboratories. Overall visit was good and the institute may get Autonomy for the next year.

Also, the offline practical sessions for the second-year students started on 20^th October. Students with two doses of vaccination were asked to join the institute/department in the afternoon slot for practical sessions. Students are also excited to join the college but maybe due to Diwali, the response was poor. This may improve significantly after Diwali. Hope to see more charming and enthusiastic faces in November.
