Information Dissemination and Awareness

[gsreview title=”Upload and publicize ‘Academic Awareness’ videos and presentations on academic processes, opportunities and flexibilities of the curriculum” color=”orange”]Videos were created, but they turned out largely unappealing.

[gsreview title=”Implement a Project Portal to provide a platform for displaying faculty and student projects” color=”red”]This could not be done, as faculty response was dismal and IRCC refused to share project data with the Acad Council. However, a resources portal with similar intentions is expected to be launched this month.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Implement an Online Notice Board with categorized subscription and try for SMS reminders” color=”orange”]The Gymkhana website has been revamped to serve as an online notice board. The website is still being modified so as to make it more visually appealing.

[gsreview title=”Provide faculty advisors with guidelines on overridable errors” color=”green”]Such a guideline compilation was provided to the Faculty Advisors.

[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Propose to implement an Online Application System (integrated with Moodle and GPO)” color=”orange”]Proposal was submitted to Dean AP. However, it was rejected on the grounds that students could hack into the system and he would prefer if students took approval in person for the discussion which could ensue.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Try to facilitate effective selection of TAs in depts. based on course grades and preference” color=”orange”]Data was provided to TA Coordinators in the Autumn semester. However, this was not used by the TA Coordinators due to clashing requests by the instructors. Hence, it was not done for the Spring semester.[/gsreview]

Career Cell

[gsreview title=”Continue an optional Professional Development Programme from third year onwards for Spoken English, Group Discussions, Personal Interviews and Professional Conduct” color=”red”]A continuous and effective programme was not conceptualized. Efforts were put in to rope in T.I.M.E. to organize such sessions but the Institute Debating Secretary had already taken the initiative in the same time window.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Coordinate with Placement Team and SARC to organize and record informative sessions on core and non-core jobs/internships, startups, further studies, IAS and IES” color=”green”]Numerous sessions were organized covering a wide spectrum.[/gsreview]

Infrastructure

[gsreview title=”Facilitate setting up of Innovation Lab with sufficient space, facilities including machinery, dedicated trainers and resources, to support student projects and technical activities” color=”orange”]A meeting was organized with the Director, Dean R&D, and Dean SA to initiate the proposal for the lab. The Director had approved in principle. A proposal was submitted to Dean R&D to look further into this.

The only issue is of space as of now, which is being looked into.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Propose shifting of current Tech Room in SAC to one with much more work space than present” color=”orange”]A proposal was made and was accepted to shift the Tech Room to the long room in the middle of SAC used as Hospitality and Accommodation room during Mood Indigo.

[gsreview title=”Propose installation of A/C and Wi-Fi in the Study Room” color=”orange”]Proposal was rejected by Dean IPS and Librarian on the grounds that the room is going to be demolished soon. A new floor is being added to the Lbrary to serve as a 24×7 studying space[/gsreview]

UG Curriculum and Policy Reforms:

[gsreview title=”Propose the introduction of English Foundation Course for first year students” color=”orange”]The course was not proposed in the Senate due to inability to find a faculty member willing to instruct the course. An alternative solution was proposed to call private institutes to take classes in the campus. Deputy Director insisted that only a reputed institute like British Council should be called. British Council delayed the proposal submission, which has been approved and a pilot project will start as soon as they are ready (pilot project is required since it is turning out to be very expensive for the institute)[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Propose special minor allotment scheme for some seats based on performance in relevant courses (e.g. previous minor course, CS 101, EE 101, HS 101)” color=”orange”]It was rejected on the grounds that the institute wants the minor programme to be something that a student aspires for and hence works on his core CPI. It was also felt by faculty members that students who show genuine interest are considered by professors.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Propose uniform allocation of TA allowance” color=”orange”]The Deputy Director AIA informed that students above 8 are considered to be GATE cleared by MHRD and are given 8000 p.m. by the Ministry, whereas students below 8 have to give GATE but the institute itself gives 6000 p.m. (or below in case of backlogs) from institute funds.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Propose to extend the duration of mid-semester exam timetable” color=”orange”]Proposal was rejected on the grounds that it would strain the Academic and Department offices.[/gsreview]

However, an attempt was made in SARC Phonathons to get funding

Rs 1.5 lakh is being given to 3 student teams each through SAC Development Funds (for the first time)[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Coordinate with other IIT technical student bodies to conceptualize the Inter IIT Tech Summit” color=”green”]Co-ordination with other IITs to conceptualize the Summit was done, but it could not be organized in IIT B because the Dean did not want to put in resources this year. IIT Kanpur is organizing it and will be conducted this week.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Try to ensure cash advance is provided to student technical teams for major expenses” color=”orange”]For major amounts less than 20,000 advance process was utilized by STAB but for larger amounts, the process was more cumbersome and hence it was avoided by the managers.[/gsreview]

UG First Year

[gsreview title=”Ensure timely SMS updates regarding scholarship deadlines, help sessions, etc.” color=”orange”]The proposal has been accepted for only those cases where it is desperately needed, i.e. for informing students about summer courses, minor registration, etc. (for information dissemination during vacation time). The numbers of students/student’s parents will be collected by the end of this month and updates will be sent from May onwards.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Ensure that IPE (Intensive Programme for Entrants) is well defined and properly conducted” color=”green”]Ensured up to the start of the programmes. ISMP Coordinators had taken full responsibility after that and ensured that it was properly conducted.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Try to provide tutorial solutions to first year students, improve the UG TA selection procedure” color=”red”]Tutorial solutions were provided in April 2012 to first year students.

2 Year M.Sc.

[gsreview title=”Nominate 2 M.Sc. representatives in the UG Academic Council” color=”orange”]The call was twice floated on Student Notices and mailed on all department mailing groups to no avail. For M.Sc. related issues, few CRs and DPCs were points of contact.[/gsreview]

[gsreview title=”Propose procurement of e-books of all faculty prescribed books; provide e-commerce websites with the list for them to sell these books at discounted prices” color=”orange”]The list of e-books to be procured was submitted to the Librarian. The Library has been able to procure 30 e-book licenses till date and 30 more are in pipeline.[/gsreview]
[gsreview title=”Upload exam papers on prof’s approval and useful course resources” color=”red”]Exam papers could not be uploaded since most of the professors were not willing to approve and also due to lack of proper response from CRs and thus bad coordination.

Useful resources portal will be launched by the end of this week.[/gsreview]
