with family members. For the faculty that oversees these courses necessary training has been provided to
acquire the needed competency.
Student organizations including Institution Innovation Cell (IIC), Entrepreneurship Development Cell
(EDC), Swachh Bharat, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) etc., strive to promote the importance of
environmental conservation and human values. The professional engineering solutions' influence on
environmental and societal viewpoints is enforced in the environmental science and disaster management
course, which also demonstrates the need for sustainable development.
The R17 to R22 curricula include courses like Environmental Science & Disaster Management that
educate students about the environment. In addition, value-based education is provided through courses
like Human Values & Professional Ethics, the Indian Culture & Constitution, where students learn about
community involvement and service. Additionally, through a variety of outreach initiatives, students are
given sufficient knowledge about societal issues. As a result, students develop into responsible citizens
and contribute significantly to the growth of sustainable societies.
Multidisciplinary education encourages flexibility in learning and enables students to continue learning
throughout their lives. Students can learn about a variety of topics of interest and use their knowledge
and abilities in their own field of study due to the academic curriculum's interdisciplinary enrichment
culture.
The “plant a tree” initiative has been successfully implemented on our campus to teach the students
about environmental sustainability. All engineering and technology disciplines have offered
environmental science & disaster management, human values & professional ethics and the Indian
culture & constitution as per AICTE's mandated criteria.
The institution has been strengthened in this way by the addition of curricula and syllabi that represent
crucial, intersecting issues relating to the environment, ethics and human values.

The institution assesses the learning levels of the students and organises special Programmes to
cater to differential learning needs of the student
Response:
CMRIT offers admissions to students based on AICTE/TS-Govt./JNTUH norms under the convener
(70%) and management (30%) quota. The admitted students are a typical mixture of varied ability and
differ from each other in terms of cognitive development and articulation of understanding the concepts
which will have great impact in the outcome and their development. CMRIT takes utmost care to nurture
students holistically and strategies are devised to provide satisfaction to all the stakeholders.
Once admission process is completed, a two week induction programme is conducted to create awareness
and orient the students towards professional education. As a part of this programme a diagnostic test is
conducted to test their Mathematical, English and Computer Applications Knowledge. Based on their
score range, they’re categorized as:
Further, in every semester, students’ academic performance is assessed in each subject based on the first
mid evaluation and they are categorized as either slow-pace learners (<50%), average learners (>=50%
and <80%), or advanced learners (>=80%).
Academic assistance is provided according to the category they are placed in. The strategies for each
category are stated below.

Student centric methods, such as experiential learning, participative learning and problem solving
methodologies are used for enhancing learning experience and teachers use ICT- enabled tools
including online resources for effective teaching and learning process
Response:
The faculty members adopt effective teaching methods such as lecture method, interactive method,
project and field work method, computer-assisted method, experiment method etc for enhancing learning
experiences among the students. Most of the teachers use the conventional whiteboard-marker pen
teaching method particularly for numerical problem solving subjects. Apart from the conventional
methods the teachers use power point presentations, audio-visual, computer-based materials and you-tube
lectures to make learning interesting.
Some Student centric methods followed at the Institute are given below:
Experiential learning:
Experiential learning helps students to gain experiences related to the situations they might come across
in the real world. The typical experiential learning activities include field trips, student teaching,
interactive experiments and internships.
The curriculum of CMRIT is designed to provide hands on experience to students through the
introduction of four labs system per semester along with submission of micro projects at the end of each
lab course. The task/case-study based approach is implemented for theory courses to gain real life
experience. Apart from regular curriculum industrial visits are arranged where students learn from
observing the real-time implementation of the concepts they studied. Faculty members assist the students
during these visits to help them connect their conceptual understanding through their practical
observations of the industrial works.
Internship is mandatory for every student as it helps them gain valuable work experience and is carried
out during the summer vacation between fourth semester and fifth semester. The mini & major project
works are carried out during the seventh and eighth semesters to stimulate student’s interest on the
subject and provide students with opportunities of freedom of thought and free exchange of views.
Participative learning:
Participatory learning makes learning accessible and offers open participation, unbounded progression,
through different stages of achievement. The students are encouraged to participate in role plays, group
discussions, case studies, quizzes, flipped classes, seminars/conferences/workshops, professional
associations/club activities, sports and games, NSS/Scouts activities, fests/events, etc.
Case studies are given in the curriculum that help to develop logical thinking and analyze the problem
using the platforms like Hacker rank, code chef, Geeks for Geeks, and leet-code portals. In addition to
this inter-departmental codeathons, hackathons and programming challenges are organized to improve
students’ problem-solving ability.
At CMRIT ICT enabled teaching includes usage of Wi-Fi enabled class rooms with LCD, language labs,
smart class rooms, seminar halls, modern pedagogy to enhance teaching-learning process. Students’
enrolment in Swayam-NPTEL/MOOC courses is encouraged under the guidance of faculty mentors.
2.3.2
The institution adopts effective Mentor-Mentee Schemes to address academics and student-
psychological issues
Response:
The academic environment of 10+2 is different from professional education environment. The goal of a
professional institute is to train the students with professional skill, develop their overall personality and
make them employable. The students of the institute are from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and
the professional life is entirely new to them, as a result some students might face difficulties in the course
of their study. To overcome this situation, the institute has implemented Mentor-Mentee Program to
guide students. Mentoring provides students with emotional and instrumental support, guidance,
encouragement and better environment in the institute. A mentor plays a vital role in nurturing students
and has a positive impact on students’ persistence and academic achievement. A mentee can approach
mentor for both educational/personal guidance. It is conducted to help the students to strengthen their
varied capabilities and to build a strong interpersonal relationship between the faculty and students.
Mentoring mentee program at CMRIT is a structured programme in which each faculty is assigned with
the task of mentoring about 15-20 students. First year students will have mentors from first year
departments, when they move on to subsequent years they will be detached from the preceding mentors
and attached to succeeding faculty from that particular department.
The institute also appointed a psychologist to counsel the students at regular intervals in particular to
counsel the abnormal behaviors among the mentees as identified by the concerned mentors.
A mentor always focuses on the desirable benefits of the students and monitors closely their overall
performance.
Student-psychological issues:
Awareness programs on psychological issues are conducted by eminent personalities from Heartfulness,
EKAM, Satyasai Sevasamithi, ISKCON, Brahmakumaris, and by appointed psychologist. These
programs also offer the students a way of relaxation from academic/non-academic stress. CMR Hospital
is accessible to students on faculty-mentor’s recommendation.

Continuous internal assessment system
Response:
Examination procedures
CMRIT adopts the following examination procedures for both Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and
Semester End Examination (SEE).
The office of the Controller of Examinations (COE) will prepare a time-table to conduct CIE & SEE of
theory and lab examinations, evaluation etc based on the approved academic calendar. All the candidates
registered for the examination must follow the rules and regulations framed by the office of the COE.
Students have to register for both CIE & SEE as per academic schedule and the circular issued by the
office of COE. Hall tickets are issued prior to the commencement of examinations. Practical and project
viva-voce are conducted before the theory examinations but the order might be reversed if the situation
demands so.
Question papers are prepared as per the revised BTL and COs. The respective subject teachers prepare
two sets of soft copies of CIE question papers and mail them to official mail of COE one week before the
schedule.
For SEE, the question paper setters and examiners from various disciplines are appointed by the COE
after approval by the BOS. Question papers are scrutinized for any errors, if found, are rectified by
moderators appointed by the COE before the commencement of respective examination.
CIE and SEE are conducted by the office of the COE under the supervision of Principal. Two Additional
Controllers of Examinations are responsible for smooth conduct of examination process. After the
examination the answer booklets are collected and immediately submitted to the office of the COE for
further proceedings.
After checking the number of answer scripts in each subject, they are deployed for digital evaluation.
Result processing is done immediately and a request is sent to the University Nominee to schedule a date
for the declaration of results.
Processes/Procedures integrating IT
The Examination Management System (EMS) is fully automated and is maintained to integrate many of
the activities of the CIE and SEE. EMS facilitates the following:
CMRIT adopted single evaluation system of answer scripts from 2017 to 2018, and implemented
double evaluation system of answer scripts from 2018. After the declaration of results, the
students could opt for either revaluation or challenge evaluation. On the recommendations of the
Academic Council, the institute offers only challenge evaluation procedure due to double
evaluation of answer scripts w.e.f. 2021.
The IQAC conducts periodical examination audits to improve the examination system.
The CIE for both theory and practical includes internal tests, presentations/seminars and assignments.
For theory subjects, the CIE consists of Part-A & Part-B. Part-A comprises of five short answer questions
and Part-B, three questions with internal choice.
Students are evaluated for practical sessions continuously through day-to-day evaluation and one/two
internal examinations in a semester.
The institution has stated learning outcomes (programme and course outcome)/graduate
attributes which are integrated into the assessment process and widely publicized through the
website and other documents and the attainment of the same are evaluated by the institution
Response:
The Vision, Mission, Quality Policy of CMRIT along with department Vision, Mission and PEOs, POs,
PSOs, COs of all programmes are available on the official website and are displayed inside the campus at
conspicuous locations.
Learning outcomes help the faculty and the students to understand the objectives and outcomes of the
program. The purpose of these outcomes is to make expectations and priorities clear. CMRIT has clearly
stated all objectives and outcomes for all the courses. At the beginning of every academic year, the
outcomes are reviewed in the faculty meeting and the same is disseminated to the faculty by the
respective HODs. The faculty explains the course outcomes to students in the initial classes to make
them aware of the objective.
Direct and Indirect methods are used to assess the student's performance in terms of COs, POs and PSOs
for all courses such as theory, practical, micro project, mini project, major project including seminar.
Attainment of COs
The performance of students is assessed through CIE and SEE that serves as a direct tool for analysis of
students’ data for attainment of learning outcomes such as COs, POs and PSOs.
Graduate Exit Survey: It is conducted every year at the end of the programme by administering
the exit survey feedback forms to outgoing students. The feedback forms are analyzed and
Cumulative COs attainment is calculated for a course with the class strength N.
Direct and Indirect assessment tools are used to measure the attainment of POs & PSOs.
Direct Assessment:
POs and PSOs are measured directly from the COs. The attainment of POs and PSOs through curriculum
is quantitatively measured by assigning values to the COs that contribute to a particular PO. COs are
calculated from marks obtained in assignments/tutorials, internal assessments of each course. The
calculated outcomes are represented as Strong, Medium and Weak respectively.
Indirect Assessment:
The programme exit survey is conducted through a predefined questionnaire answered by every student
upon completion of the programme. Alumni survey and employer survey are used to obtain indirect
attainment of POs and PSOs.
Cumulative POs and PSOs attainment is recorded at the end of every academic year and analyzed for the
improvement of POs and PSOs in the forthcoming year.

Incremental improvements made for the preceding five years with regard to quality and
post accreditation quality initiatives (second and subsequent cycles)
Describe two practices institutionalized as a result of IQAC initiatives within a maximum of 500
words
Response:
CMRIT established Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) in the year 2017 with an aim to achieve
standards of excellence in teaching learning, continuous education, research and lifelong learning and
supportive functions by self evaluation and constant improvements. To impart quality education, the
IQAC closely monitors the TLP and encourages the teachers and students to undergo research activities.
In addition, the IQAC ensures that the departments organize various activities such as Guest Lectures,
National/International conferences, workshops, seminars and competitions among students for enhancing
their intellectual acumen, leadership and professional skills.
The IQAC has immensely contributed in the implementation of quality assurance strategies and
processes at all levels.
The IQAC meets every three months to prepare, evaluate and recommend the following for approval by
the relevant Institute and Govt. statutory authorities:
• Creates awareness among students on facilities like Canteen, Library, Sports, Transportation,
Computing, Internet, NSS and Scouts.
• Offers innovation activities, startup awareness, entrepreneur skills and CRT to enhance employability
opportunities.
The two examples of practices institutionalized as a result of IQAC initiatives are as follows:
a) IQAC led efforts enabled the Institutions to acquire the ISO Certifications in the last five years.
IQAC planned, organized and executed the necessary steps that included the preparation of detailed
quality manuals, identification of key performance indicators and mapping the various processes across
the entire functioning of the Institute, which finally led to the successful award of the following:
• ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications in 2020 valid till 2023
• ISO 9001: 2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 50001:2018 certifications in 2023 valid till 2026
b) The IQAC led efforts enabled the Institutions to successfully implement modern technology in the
Institute’s administrative functioning through ICT and alternative sources of energy, especially
enhancement of solar power by 120 kW in the last five years. Automation of admission, financial and
examination processes, upgradation of Wi-Fi and LAN facilities, have significantly contributed to an
enhanced quality of teaching-learning experience.

learning outcomes at periodic intervals through IQAC set up as per norms
Describe any two examples of institutional reviews and implementation of teaching learning
reforms facilitated by the IQAC within a maximum of 500 words each.
Response:
CMRIT periodically reviews its teaching, learning and operational methodologies for quality assurance.
This involves examining the curriculum, teaching methods, assessment strategies, and other aspects of
the learning process to identify areas for improvement.
Overall, a well-functioning IQAC can play a crucial role in ensuring that an institution maintains high
standards of education and delivers value to its students. The following are two examples of TLP
reforms:
Effective pedagogy involves using a variety of instructional methods and approaches to engage students
and to promote deep learning among them. Some common pedagogical initiatives include:
1.Active learning: This involves creating opportunities for students to engage with the material
actively, such as through group work, discussions, or hands-on activities.
2.Flipped classroom: This involves reversing the traditional classroom model, where students
listen to lectures or complete readings outside of class and use class time for active learning
activities.
3.Problem-based learning: This approach involves presenting students with real-world problems
to solve, encouraging them to think critically and develop problem-solving skills.
4.Collaborative learning: This involves promoting teamwork and collaboration among students,
encouraging them to learn from each other and share their knowledge and skills.
Implementation of examination reforms is a crucial aspect of improving the quality of education in the
Institution. CMRIT ensures transparency in the evaluation methods to facilitate effective assessment of
learners.
papers are audited periodically. Question papers of CIE are audited at the respective department
level by course coordinators. SEE question papers are audited by nominated experts. Corrective
actions are taken based on the audit.
3.Answer script Audit: CMRIT introduced digital evaluation system for both CIE and SEE to
ensure transparency in evaluation of answer scripts. Double evaluation system is adopted for
more accurate assessment. Students are provided with an opportunity to view their answer scripts
(of all courses) of CIE after completion of evaluation and announcement of results. SEE answer
scripts are audited by experts who are invited from other institutions. Corrective actions are taken
based on the audit.
By implementing these pedagogical initiatives and examination reforms, a more dynamic and engaging
learning environment is created in the institution for support student’s success and achievements.
