5. Interdisciplinary programmes and departments involved
All our programmes are interdisciplinary nature, as ICT itself captures interdisciplinary
curricula of Information Technology, Communications Technology and Electronics
Engineering. These three domains constitute the hybridity of ICT as an innovative
knowledge system at the undergraduate and postgraduate engineering. The curriculum of
UG and PG programmes involves innovative strands from Humanities and Social Science
courses, namely, Cultural Studies, Art and Science Fiction, Management, Finance,
Economics and Environment, Animation, Film, Design, Graphic Design and Multimedia
systems. Students of every programme undertake semester long project under the
supervision of faculty based on students choice. This enables students and faculty to work
in a true interdisciplinary environment. The curriculum of every programme provides
adequate rooms for electives offerings, where faculty members from different
specializations can offer courses on his/her field of interests.
All our programmes follow semester based examination system which adopts Choice
Based Credit System (CBCS). Students are given adequate flexibility in selecting courses
they like to consider for their electives and have them count towards their graduation credit
requirements. In every course of the programmes, the instructor announces to students
about the grading policy and the distribution of weightage in different components in the
courses that the instructor is going to follow to assess the students performance in the
course. The performance of the students is assessed on a continuous evaluation mechanism
by assessing their performance in in-semester examinations, end-semester examinations,
3
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
assignments, quizzes, student presentations and projects. A minimum of 80% attendance is
required for students to appear in the end semester examinations. After evaluation, the
answer books are shown to the students so that they can see where they have made
mistakes and discuss with the instructor accordingly. The semester result is announced
within a week after the end semester examination. In every semester, students accumulate
their semester performance index (SPI) on a 10-point scale, and then the SPI is
accumulated in their cumulative performance index (CPI) on a 10-point scale that will
show their academic performance during their study as well as at the end of their
graduation. The institute maintains a fully online E-Campus system to manage students
records such as semester-wise course list, student registration, approval processes, result
announcement, grading, and reflection of students SPI and CPI in their grade sheets. The
E-Campus system is owned by the Registrars office of the institute and the entire
processes of evaluation and grading system of all our academic programmes are fully
transparent to students and faculty.
All our programmes are interdisciplinary in nature, running under Information and
Communication Technology as a discipline. As a result, participation of a large number of
elective courses of one programme to other is a need by the design of the programme
curriculum. Most of the electives in one programme are open other programmes. The
electives consist of the set of technical electives, science electives and open electives.
Faculty members actively participate in offering internships and projects to UG and PG
students within and outside the curriculum requirement. This is perhaps the unique
characteristic of all our programmes that effectively converges students and faculty
participation to one discipline, that is, Information and Communication Technology.
10. Number of teaching posts sanctioned, filled and actual (Professors/ Associate
Professors/ Asst. Professors/ others)
All teaching staff are counted as faculty. There is no department division among the
4
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
faculty. The overall distributions of faculty as per the sanction posts are furnished in the
table below. It is to be noted that PhD and M.Tech students are engaged as teaching
assistants (TA) in the courses where either laboratory or tutorial or both is included in a
course. The main mandate of such TAs is to conduct lab and tutorial session as per the
guide line given by the course instructor. Hence in the table teaching assistants are also
counted as teaching staff.

Faculty at DA-IICT are self motivated. They have devised various innovations in
teaching and learning both technically as well as pedagogically. In addition faculty
attend various summer schools, workshops, seminars, conferences etc., so as to hone
their teaching skills. The Institute provides financial support to faculty members and
research scholars towards registration fee and travel expenditure to attend these
refresher programmes both in India and abroad. The funds may be used for attending
training and research programs for professional development as well. The Institute
regularly organizes conferences, seminars and workshops for promoting interactions
with wider academic and research community.
All our programmes have a strong component of project work to fulfil the academic
requirement of the programmes. The B.Tech programme requires student to do a final
year project of duration of at least 13 weeks, either split into two semesters or as a full
semester project. The M.Tech programme requires student to do a year-long thesis
work. The M.Sc (IT), M.Sc (ICT in ARD) and M.Des (CD) programmes require student
to undertake the final semester project work.

54
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
students take part in active research. DAIICT attracts considerably large amount
towards funding of various projects conceived by the faculty members. The quality
maintained is quite high and meeting national and international standards. The code of
ethics for research as mentioned below provides an articulation of the values and
principles underlying the institutes research investigation methodologies. This code of
ethics is expected to be a source of supports and confidence to the faculty members, a
reassurance to all staffs participating in research projects and an indicator of quality to
those who use and consult the corresponding research reports.
Protect the dignity and wellbeing of self and all stakeholders such as research
participants, collaborators, funding agencies and the institute.
Avoid exploiting personal relations, rather stick to the high professional ethics.
Be sensitive to the issues and problems of society while framing the research
problems, collecting information, conducting experiments and interpreting results
and findings.
Maintain and keep all the records arising out of the research to handle quarries that
are to be answered in appropriate manner for future.
Discuss results of research only for professional purpose, and only with those who
are clearly entitled to know or be consulted.
Ensure that highest quality and standards are maintained in problem framing,
experiments and reporting of results.
Do not compromise with the quality of research and the outcomes that provides
undue advantage to any individual or group of individuals.
Utmost care should be taken while reporting results such that nothing can be
misinterpreted and misused against the development of society at large.
All parties involved should be informed in time for conflict of interest, if any.
55
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
Avoidance of Infringement
Take care that there is no infringement of any published work while reporting
research results.
Avoiding plagiarism is must. Take utmost care against informed or uninformed
plagiarism. Whenever and wherever necessary, try to get the consent from the
appropriate authority. In case consent could not be received, appropriate
acknowledgement should be made.
Plagiarism check and an ethical review is must before publishing any document
related to research.
Explore and collect only that information which is appropriate to the purpose of a
given investigation or intervention.
Take care that there is no discomfort, while conducting the research, on the
personally or culturally defined space of any person including stake holders and
research participants unless clear and appropriate permission is granted to do so.
Do not relay, except justified by law, confidential information about any
stakeholders to which it has become privy in the course of research.
Inform those to whom services are offered about legal limits on confidentiality
where it is appropriate to do so.

34. How many students have cleared Civil Services and Defense Services
examinations, NET, SET, GATE and other competitive examinations? Give
details category-wise?
Precise data is not available. However, through interaction with student community
and placement cell, it is estimated that at least 15 percent of the graduating students
go for further studies. Out of the candidates going for further studies, around 60
percent go for management courses and the others apply for MS/M.Tech/PhD degrees
both within the country and outside, and so must have taken NET / SAT / GATE
/CAT / GRE / TOFEL / GMAT). Very few opt for Civil Services and Defense
Services examinations. DA-IICT Alumni web portal (https://daiict.almaconnect.com/)
will allow us to better track the student profile after graduation.

NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
presentation to the faculty and later to the academic council
In 2013, DAIICT introduced a new program of B.Tech (ICT) Hons. with a minor in
Computational Science. In 2015, two new specializations are added in the M.Tech(ICT)
program. These specializations are i) Algorithmics and ii) Signal Processing. It is to be
noted that DAIICT already offers M.Tech (ICT) programme with specializations in
VLSI and Embedded Systems, Communications Systems, Computer Networks and
Machine Intelligence.
Yes, the institute has a well-defined mechanism in place to obtain feedback from students,
faculty, alumni and employers. A feedback form is circulated to each of the student for all
the courses he/she has registered for the semester before the semester ends. The duration
of course evaluation by student is also included in the Academic calendar. The exit
feedback is collected from all students when they complete their academic requirements
for the degree. The campus placement process collects feedback of employers time to
time. All feedback forms are accumulated and compiled by the Dean(AP) office. The
compiled feedback result is then communicated to the Director for assessment. The
feedback provided by the stakeholders is used for improvement in courses and delivery
mechanism, and is also discussed in faculty meetings for improvement in respective
85
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
programmes.
The curriculum devise/revise of all our programmes goes through multiple rigorous
discussions and brain storming sessions by faculty body. Once faculty body clears
the draft curriculum of a programme then it goes to the Academic Council for
approval. The entire process of new curriculum formulation or existing curriculum
revision is coordinated by Board of Studies.
The teaching-learning and evaluation process is carried out throughout the academic
year. All the courses follow choice based credit system. As a result, the teaching
practice is structured into Theory-Tutorial-Practical (L-T-P). For example, a course
with 3-0-2-4 indicates that the course will have weekly 3 hours of lectures and 2
hours of practical, and the student who has registered for this course will earn 4
credits (note: 2 hours of practical give 1 credit).In the classrooms, the teaching aids
involve computer, white board, overhead projector, document camera, and audio
system. Course instructor use lecture notes, slides presentations and discussion with
students through assignments and projects.

NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
all stakeholders and address all concerns which help in improving the academic
process of the institute.
c. alumni and employers on the programmes offered and how does the department
utilize the feedback?
The institute collects feedback from alumni about the programmes, course delivery,
and infrastructure. The alumni board meets periodically and opines on various
activities such as programmes, curricula, placement, faculty, staff, infrastructure and
juniors. The board consists of faculty representatives who brought the feedback of
alumni to Dean(AP)s and Directors notice. The institute also collects feedback
from employers through its placement process. Employers suggest the need of
curriculum updation and introduction of new courses to keep pace of industry
requirement. Employers feedback is then communicated to Director through the

45. List the teaching methods adopted by the faculty for different programmes.
The institute has adopted the following universal mechanisms to make the
teaching-learning process student-centric.
Two major challenges in an effective teaching pedagogy are large class size and
easy availability of online study material. Large classes are challenging for
simultaneously handling the needs of a relatively diverse audience, effective
interactivity, and ensuring attentiveness of the students. Availability of online study
materials creates a perception that face to face lecture time may not be required at
all and has the added benefit of flexible timings.
In large classes that we teach, faculty have found that an ICT tool like personal
response system (PRS) is very helpful in real-time interactivity and thus the
possibility of change in teaching emphasis on the fly. We also find that breaking
the lecture in 3 fifteen minutes capsules with interactive games and quizzes of five
minutes each greatly enhances the alertness level and the comprehension of the
students.
94
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
Our faculty is continuously looking for innovation in pedagogical devices that best
fit the individual characteristics of the courses and the students.
46. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are constantly
met and learning outcomes are monitored?
95
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
The timetable of Lectures, Labs and Tutorials is made available to students, faculty
and staff well in advance before the commencement of a semester. Most of the
instructors communicate to students about the lesson plan, topics to be covered
including methodology and the evaluation process for the course at the beginning
of the semester.
96
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
that programme objectives are constantly met and learning outcomes are supervised
throughout the academic calendar.
During the rural internship, students often carry out surveys to help NGOs in setting
the baseline conditions. In fact, the NGOs have been helped in developing teaching
modules, training workers, writing up small software programs, preparing
documentation and many more activities by the students during the rural internship
because the students devote one full month to the NGOs to carry out whatever work
they have.
In addition, the Institute has helped many voluntary organizations in designing their
programs with its expertise so that they could reach the underprivileged more
effectively. For example, four students did their BTP project for AkshayPatra, to
chart out optimal path for the vans that reach out to almost 1 lakh students in various
schools. Similarly, the governments e-gram centers were helped by the students in
sprucing up their facilities first the needs assessment for the rural population was
done and later software programs were developed to be included in the e-gram
network. Our students have helped deaf and dumb school by gathering videos and
educational games for their students and conducting training for the instructors,
developed a software for a small bank in Saurashtra for its human resource
management because it had no access to such programs, carried out surveys
regarding environment effects of Mundra port for Center for Environment Education,
and such. The examples are too many to site here because many different courses
technical as well as social science include such exercises that reach out to the
outside community.
One more example was to examine how do we represent health as a problem, defined
by a community which allows for community activism and agency and yet can be
seen as a policy problem. What one basically learnt from the conversations is that
97
NAAC Evaluative Report 2015
design can mediate between the right to Information and the possibilities of
representation. Mere transparency does not guarantee the right to information about
health. It needs a competence to play with parameters of health to effect new
connections and consequent changes in policy. Design thus becomes a
methodological tool not just for policy but peoples engagement with it. If Design is
connectivity, one had to see all the relations that exist about health - connectivities
between health and water, health and land, natural resources, agriculture, food
consumption including policies were established in the project that became the key
connections through which health of a community were monitored. The project was
driven largely with an aim to work on prevention rather than cure, and finally one
needed to capture the dynamic conditions between altered conditions. If health was
change, one needed to understand the changing relations between agricultural
practices and consumption of food and/or water and health. Design also took into
account time and the long duree of health. For example one could increase resistance
to sickle cell even if one could not eliminate it. The project was conceived as a
system that would be monitored by the community themselves.

Youth Run
Youth run was an initiative by a group of students who wanted to promote good
health, camaraderie and social awareness. The Youth run vision was to run for a
social cause. The run was held every year for three years in the month of February.
DA-IICT Students, many from the Gandhinagar community and local school
children would participate in a 4km or 8km run in the wee hours of the morning.
Around 1000 persons running together in cold during the early morning early made a
wonderful scene. The run usually ended with some light snacks and a talk and
interaction session with an imminent person on a theme related to social awareness.
Profits of Youth run were given to an NGO.

Students also actively participate in IEEE student branch and ACM (Association for
Computing Machinery) student branch at the institute.
With active participation in national and international forums, our students have
received many prestigious awards such as Texas Instruments DSP Design, Microsoft
Imagine Cup, Red Hat Challenge, HP Innovate, Google Summer of Code, TCS-100
Best Student, Google India Women and many more.

A sizeable number of books have been published by faculty. These books promote
learning and scholarship of a very high order. In the last five years, the faculty
authored or co-authored more than 400 articles in books, journals, and conference
proceedings. The faculty members have contributed to several national projects
funded by DST and DeitY. New courses are regularly introduced in the emerging
areas of ICT (e.g., Internet of Things). Workshops are regularly held with a view to
sharing the new knowledge generated. A good number of students have turned their
technical inventiveness into business ventures.

Amongst the many research projects being carried out by faculty and students, here
are examples of two applied projects, which seek to enhance the use of Indian
languages in information retrieval. The first project is directed towards the
development of a search engine that will allow querying of information from Indian
language text documents available on the web. The other project is about developing
a search engine for audio databases in Indian languages. Both projects are funded
by government of India, and they are being jointly executed with other premier
institutions in the country.
