to central library each department houses a department library with good
number of subject text books and reference books.
S6. Curriculum and related activities: Out of the 11 UG programmes, 6 are
accredited by The National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The other five
branches are not eligible for accreditation as of now because, it was started
very recently. The institute also offers 11 Post Graduate (PG) programmes.
The college has 11 Visvesvaraya Technological University-VTU approved
research centers spread over all Engineering branches, MBA, MCA and
Humanities. Several departments of the institute offer value added courses
for students so as to improve their employability. National level technical
conference/seminars/workshops/ AICTE sponsored staff development
programmes are being organized by various departments of the institute on a
regular basis. The institute has a separate placement and training department
which not only caters to the placement of students but also concentrates on
conducting pre placement training, for students. In fact, training on soft skills,
communication skills, personality development, group discussions, etc are
built into the regular timetable. The curricular and co/extra-curricular activities
are systematically planned and executed to provide quality education.
S7. Pupilpod: Student data base has been automated using pupilpod software,
aiming towards easy access of the same to all the stake holders. Also
Information Kiosks has been housed in strategic locations to enable easy
access of information to students/parents. Parents can also access information
about their wards through internet by a unique Parent Information System
developed for the same. Pupilpod TM is an Educational Resource Planning
(ERP) product, which works on SQL platform, developed by M/s Thoughtnet
Private Limited.
S8. Faculty qualification: All faculty are post graduates in engineering (ME /
M.Tech) or M Sc in Science & Humanities. More than 20% of the faculty are
Doctorate degree holders.
S9. Academic Performance: This has been one of the major strengths of the
institute. Overall pass percentage achieved in final semester VTU examination
is consistently beyond 90%.

Weakness:
W1.Research/Consultancy: Even though mechanism towards motivating the
interested faculty members to pursue research/ higher studies is in place only
few departments are contributing actively to research and consultancy.
W3. Faculty demographic profile and attrition: 40% of the faculty members
are less than 35 years of age implying lower work and research experience.
Only 20% are PhD holders. Attrition rate is approximately 15% in the last
academic year due to various reasons like starting of new engineering colleges
in the vicinity etc.
W4. Twinning Programmes: Since the institute is an affiliated college, prospects
of offering twinning programmes are very few.
W5. Placement & Training: Even though on-campus placement record is
consistent, there is enormous scope for achieving higher placement rates
through appropriate training/finishing schools. Also there is no concerted
effort towards training weaker students.

SELF STUDY REPORT

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
Opportunities:
O1. Branding and positioning: With an increase in the employability of
graduates of the college and also with higher research/consultancy activity will
enable the institute to carve a niche for itself in the domain of engineering
education
O2. Becoming autonomous institute /deemed university: Starting of new PG
programs

and

providing

encouragement

to

faculty

to

pursue

research/consultancy will result in increase in number of research projects,
publications in reputed national/international journals and also registering of
patents. This definitely will make the institute gain autonomy and also deemed
university status.
O3.

Industry Institute interaction, training to students: Interaction with

industry is a major step towards increasing the employability of graduates.
This activity will not only help in higher placements but will also assist the
college in ‗train the trainer‘ activity. Also industry partners may be offered,
providing training to their employees.
O4. Research, Consultancy and faculty training: This is an outcome of O3.
Higher exposure to industry will definitely boost research activity. This will
provide the faculty with an opportunity to interact with industry and thereby
gain valuable inputs with respect to their area of interest.
O5. Student Internship /Support to weaker students: This is most essential to
encompass all the students of the institution under increased employability
scheme. Support to weaker students is required in providing additional
‗subjective training‘ and also in ‗non subjective training‘ like English classes
etc.
O6. External Sponsorship of faculty for Post Graduation & PhD
programmes: This is an incentive to faculty who intend to pursue research,
which results in multifold benefit to the college. Not only does the institute
have higher qualified faculty, but through them, the quality of students passing

SELF STUDY REPORT

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
out of the college will be much better. This will also result in increase in the
employability of the graduates of this college.
O7. Collaboration with foreign universities: Successful implementation of O1O6 will result in possible collaboration with foreign universities in terms of
offering twinning programmes, deputation of faculty on sabbatical leave for
Post doctoral work and also faculty exchange programmes.
Threats:
T1. Retention of qualified & experienced faculty members: This is a major
challenge. With increase in demand for professional education and increase in
the number of engineering institutions, retaining qualified and experienced
faculty has become very difficult. Hence measures towards increasing affinity
and allegiance of faculty towards the institute needs to be implemented.
T2. Competition from autonomous colleges: With autonomy these institutions
will be able to offer new programmes with flexible curriculum. Therefore
autonomous

institutions will be able to attract better students, qualitatively

as well as quantitatively.
T3. Fast changing technology: Is another challenge. With technology changing
every day, the institution needs to progressively upgrade its laboratory
infrastructure, which invites large investment. Therefore measures to increase
Institutional revenue from sources other than tuition fees needs to be thought
about. The solution for this challenge therefore lies in increased research,
consultancy and offering training to industry professionals.
T4. Starting of other engineering college in the vicinity: This is a perennial
challenge, which will not only result in higher faculty attrition rates but also
may effect student admissions.
T5. Entry of Foreign Universities in India: With GATT agreement signed, this
is a certain possibility. Obviously, foreign universities will offer tough
competition to Indian institutions. Therefore one needs to gear up to face this
challenge

2.2.3 What are the strategies drawn and deployed by the institution to bridge
the knowledge gap of the enrolled students to enable them to cope with
the programme of their choice?
(Bridge/Remedial/Add-on/Enrichment Courses, etc).
Most of the students getting admitted to the institute are from remote / rural
background and have major deficiency in medium of learning which is
English. Therefore learning of English is mandatory in 1 st Year and
incorporated as a regular class in 1 st year time table, also an elaborate English
language lab with interactive English learning software is installed. The lab is
multimedia enabled and plays major role in upgrading English competency of
our students.
Lateral entry students have major issue with Engineering Mathematics, due to
which their performance in analytical subjects suffer. Hence remedial bridge
class in Engineering Mathematics is organized for these students so as to
upgrade their mathematical skills. Also university has prescribed additional
Engineering Mathematics course (MATDIP301 and MATDIP-401) to these
students specially designed to enrich their knowledge in Engineering
Mathematics.
2nd year Engineering subjects in various branches are slightly tough due to the
fact that engineering concepts are introduced only from 2nd year onwards.
Therefore additional remedial and tutorial classes are added within the time
table so as to provide the extra classes for better understanding of these
subjects. In these additional classes emphasis is given on improvement in
analytical reasoning and problem solving capabilities.
Counseling for Lateral Entry Students normally goes beyond University
schedule and there are instances of Lateral Entry Students reporting late to the
college. For such students, special classes are arranged in order to bridge the
gap in subject coverage between Lateral Entry and Regular Students.
Students from other States are motivated to learn the State language Kannada
so that they get some competency in communicating in the local language. A
qualified Kannada Teacher is appointed for the same. The study involves
basic and advanced courses in Kannada.

SELF STUDY REPORT

86

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
weeks owing to various reasons.
In addition to the above, additional holidays and unscheduled class breaks
also contribute to the shortened academic course work.
University gives the uniform time slots for all subjects but certain subjects
need more time and also their time slot depends upon actual contact with
students and their grasping power. For example, subjects like – Field
Theory, Signals and Systems, Finite Elements Methods, Vibrations,
Database Management System, Digital System Processing etc., need more
time for concept building and understanding.
Prerequisite of the subject plays important role in the pace of coverage in
class room teaching.

By identifying the slow learners and fulfilling their specific needs

2.6.6 What is the graduate attributes specified by the college/affiliating
university? How does the college ensure the attainment of these by the
students?
‗Graduate attributes are the qualities, skills and understandings a university
community agrees its students should develop during their time with the
Institution. These attributes include but go beyond the disciplinary expertise
or technical knowledge that has traditionally formed to core of most university
courses. They are qualities that also prepare graduates as agents of social
good in an unknown future‘ (Bowden, Hart, King, Trigwell & Watts).

Graduate Attributes
The development of student attributes is a constant thread throughout the
Institute or University‘s Strategic Plan, whether referring to learning, teaching
or research. Application of these attributes to different contexts shows how
they shape our students and graduate:
to academia – the type of students and researchers they are / can be:
to society / community – their contribution to society and citizenship;
to work and career – their employability.
Employability therefore reflects the outcome of applying graduate attributes
in one context: work and career. Graduate attributes in their fullest sense are
much broader than just employability – graduate attributes have relevance to
all aspects of the student experience.
Development and Value
Through cross – institutional consultation the BOS explores what it means to
be a VTU graduate. The findings were turned into a statement of graduate
attributes that represent characteristics all students of the university have
SELF STUDY REPORT

106

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,

opportunity to develop while studying here. Having the Graduate Attributes
Framework in place should help us:
make clear to current and prospective students the wealth of
opportunity that studying at the Institute / University offers them and
therefore encourage them to capitalize on their time at the Institute
Describe a common experience for students studying in varied and
disparate areas; and
Provide an easy and coherent structure against which to identify the
merits of new developments, especially in relation to e-learning and
teaching
The IQAC works with the Institutional Team for the current enhancement theme to
support the university in embedding the graduate attributes.

Teaching & Learning

The faculty are assigned subjects during the semester break. The faculties are
instructed to submit the lesson plan, and lesson notes to the Head of the
department. The Head of the department forms a committee with senior
faculty members of the department and verified for correctness against the
syllabus prescribed by the university, and appropriate feedback is given. The
teaching staff maintains teachers diary and record daily lectures delivered,
practical conducted. Every week Head of the department strictly monitors the
teacher‘s diary.
Research & Development
In the recent years there is an added thrust to research activities. Our college is
a recognized resource research centre in almost all the departments. This
facilitates and supports the faculty and PG students to take up research
activities. In the past few years our faculty from our college and candidates
from industry have registered for M.Sc (engineering by research) and PhD
programmes. Apart from these many of the professors in our college are
principal Investigators in various projects funded by external agencies. All the
research related achievements has been provided under criteria III.
Other research activities of the College include presentation and publication
of research papers in seminars, conferences and international journals; and
guiding research students for their M.Sc (engineering by research) and PhDs
degrees.
Community engagement

The college is known for its social commitment to serve the society
and nation. The services rendered by the college to the community are
as follows:
 Motivating the faculty members to participate in
Programmes of NGOs

different sections of the societies to the various
programmes organized in the college


Organizing NSS Camp in villages

 Conducting free medical camps through The Oxford Dental
College and other voluntary organizations
Human Resource Management

The institution adopts a mechanism of self-appraisal of teachers and comprehensive
evaluation of teachers by HOD‘s and the students. While these two methods are the
formal modes of performance assessment of teachers, the institution also has an
informal method of evaluating staff. The informal method followed is as follows: The
students assess the performance of the subject teacher in the prescribed format. The
HOD conducts a one-to-one meeting with the staff and conveys the assessment and
suggests any necessary improvements. The Principal also conducts meetings with
student coordinators of the classes to get the feedback about the classes and other
related matters. The line of interaction followed is both for corrective measures and
appreciation of the services of the teachers for their initiative and good work.
A faculty is given a self-appraisal form once in a year and the motivation is such that
the entire faculty should publish at least one research paper per semester and it will be
considered for salary increments.
Industry interaction

The ultimate aim of the education is to equip the students to meet the
industrial needs. Now a day‘s the industry expects ready to fit in
students for their requirement. In this process, college adapts the
following and facilitates the experts from industry to interact with
students.
 Guest Lecture is a way of enriching our students with the
latest updates of the Industries and Technicalities.

train them as interns and give them the experience they would
need to get a job.

rooms. This has helped a lot in conservation of electricity.
Use of renewable energy
The College is using solar energy for the Students Hostel. College has made a MOU
with Green Power System to convert the Kitchen waste into Cooking Gas. The
college has installed the bio-methanation reactor which is capable of producing 7 Kg
of LPG from 100 kg of Kitchen waste. Our Students are also involved in this project
and installed the complete setup which is working fine in college campus.
Water harvesting
Adequate arrangement to collect the roof water during rain, is in place. The same is
further connected to underground sump so as to take care of water requirement for
sanitary and gardening requirements.
Efforts for Carbon Neutrality
The College at its own level has taken up certain preventive measures to check the
emission of carbon dioxide. The College has made arrangements for the parking of
the vehicles of the students in the College ground. This helps in keeping the campus
free from CO2 as much as possible. The dead leaves and the waste paper are not
allowed to be put on fire. The leaves are buried in the soil itself and the waste paper is
sent for recycling.
Plantation
A lot of expenditure is incurred to keep the campus environment green. For this, the
College support staff is working wholeheartedly. Trees are planted and nurtured. The
College organizes programmes through NSS every year to inculcate this tradition
amongst its students.
Waste Water Management:
A well-equipped sewage water treatment plant is setup to treat waste water. After
treatment, the turbidity of this waste water is brought down to <0.9. The same is used
for flushing the toilet and gardening.

get a chance to improve their results further.
Usage of Teaching Aids: Though the college makes use of the traditional black
board teaching, each department in the college is provided with seminar hall with
LCD projector, Overhead projector and Portable Projectors. Most of the faculty are
using these facilities to provide good lecture and make the students to understand the
concept with more clarity by illustrating the real time situations.
Feedback mechanism
Students give the feedback about each teacher at the end of semester. Besides,
informal interaction between the students and the Class Teacher/H.O.D./Principal
about issues pertaining to teaching quality is also encouraged. Teachers are counseled
by the departmental head and / or principal regarding measures to improve subject
understanding and/or teaching skills. Also Class committee meeting is conducted
before each internal assessment with 3-4 student representatives from each class and
concerned staff members. In this meeting all the issues will be discussed and solution
will be provided to students and staff and minutes of meeting are recorded.
Campus Management Solution (CMS)
The College has implemented the web based campus management solution through
PupilPod Software. All the student‘s details, attendance, University results and
internal marks have been captured in the system. Students and Parents can login to
this web based CMS from anywhere and access the details. Through SMS and e-mail,

Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Requirement of more qualified and experienced faculty in all departments.
More budget provision needs to be made to develop research oriented lab, to
give more exposure to the students for their overall development.
More awareness needs to be created among faculty and students about various
funding agencies, writing good research proposal and awareness of PhD
research centre.
Scarcity of senior faculty having good research experience.
BEST PRACTICE 2:
1. Title of the Practice
Usage of Cloud based Institution ERP System (PupilPod) for automating all the
academic activities from admission to alumni, benefitting all the stakeholders
including Management, Staff, Students, parents and alumni .The HR and Payroll
management is automated through ‗Relyon‘ software.
2. Objectives of the Practice
The major goal of Pupilpod is to automate all administrative assurance pertaining to
academics such as: Student Management, Staff Management, Library Management,
Hostel Management, Transport Management, HR Management and Finance
Management at central site in a systematic and streamlined manner with role-based
access of precise and accurate information.
Being a cloud based application, the users can login to the automated system from a
place of their convience and get the required information through a ‗mouse click‘.
This practice was introduced during August 2012 with the above stated goal in
focus and
connects many administrative and academic segments of the
college including four sections of Administrative Offices, located at different
campus, all Departments, Central Library, Transport Office and Hostels.
The major initiative behind implementing Pupilpod system is to step towards a
paperless office at TOCE and also to gain an easy access to the information for
authorized users.
The uniqueness of Pupilpod system is that it‘s time line-based alerting facility
results in indirect compulsion to faculty to post all periodical entries from
daily attendance, syllabus coverage, all assessments marks on time. Any delay
to adhere to the timeline will automatically generate an SMS alert to the
concerned staff and their respective Head of the department.
The system has achieved quick dissemination of information and promptness
in entries with associated role-based security.
The main outcomes of this System is the ease of access of Information
regarding status of each and every student to all academic stakeholders
including Director, Principal, Head of Departments, Faculty, Class advisors,
Chairpersons of Class Committees, Officials at the Administrative Office,

Central library staffs and Students depending on their role of responsibility.
3. The Context
The Oxford Educational Institutions is the Brain Child of CHILDREN'S
EDUCATION SOCIETY. The Oxford Educational Institutions, well-known for
Academic excellences cover the gamut of needs from K.G. to P.G. courses. The
Institutions provides education from primary level to Post Graduate level in the
Academic fields of Teacher's Training, Management, Hospitality, Industry, Science,
Engineering, Information Technology, Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Dental
Education and Medical Courses, which are highlighted, under the heading
INSTITUTIONS. The Faculty, for the above mentioned courses are well qualified,
experienced and dedicated. As it stands today, the student strength has crossed the
15,000 mark and the staff strength has crossed the 2500 mark.
The Oxford college of Engineering we have around 336 faculty members, 2764 under
graduates, 1133 post graduates and 65 research scholars. In this scenario, the timely
dissemination of information pertaining to staff/student availability, attendance
marking, result analysis of assessment tests and other associated details are very
important. The automated software includes
The smart card based access to library for both staff and students
Web based staff workload monitoring to assist the Director /Principal/HOD
The timely availability of performance access reports for the daily attendance,
internal assessment marks and class timetable will allow the students to
improve their performance.
The availability of academic performance of students in each of the Internal
Assessment Tests in a consolidated way is essential for the Class Committee
Chairperson to review the progress of the class in a time-to time manner.
The HOD/class teachers can generate and/or Export in Excel Format at their
place:






AICTE Compliance report related student details.
Monthly Attendance, Cumulative Attendance, Fine reports.
Strength report (Seat category wise / Gender wise / Community
wise / Locality wise, etc.,).
University / Internal Assessment Test Result Analysis (% of
Pass, Range of marks, subject wise failure details, No. of
Ranks, etc.,).
SMS alerts and Progress reports to parents (Letter /email
/SMS).

The availability of academic records, remarks (if any), leave reasons and
achievement histories in sports, co-curricular etc. of their wards greatly
supports the tutors to counsel them properly
The status of late comers, missing attendance entry, mark entry at the
department level will allow the Head of the Department to undertake
necessary follow up actions
Beyond securing the staff/student information, one of the vital features of any
SELF STUDY REPORT

288

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
online academic processing system is the confidentiality. In Pupilpod system,
any staff/student can view their progress by accessing the system. The
interested Student can view attendance, marks, contact, personal and other
details by getting their user name and password from system admin via
registration of their active email ID to ensure unique identity. This information
is also available in the student 360 degree view.
For each staff, their staff login and password are mandatory to login to the
system and they can enter/view their
o Staff Fingerprint Biometric based attendance marking.
o Web based Staff Leave management, pay slip and attendance/mark
entries.
o Lesson plan, Daily attendance, syllabus coverage, Timetable, mark
entries and analysis (Staff wise / Subject wise / Student wise / Test
wise).
Apart from academic the added features of Pupilpod system are:
OPAC search of central library, smart card based issue/return and e-Gate
entry.
Hostel Infrastructure, Room allotment, Mess Menu details, Gate Pass and
Mess Bill Generation.
Vehicle maintenance, Alerts for FC / License renewals, Transport Pass Issue
(Stage wise), Timings at stages and SMS alerts for change in transportation.
4. The Practice
The Cloud based System has been designed with the objective of providing all
appropriate information as required by various stakeholders of TOCE, through web
portal, irrespective of their location.
Availability of Information to all Stakeholders
The predominant role of Pupilpod system is information dissemination to all
stakeholders, round the clock. However, to ensure confidentiality and maintain
integrity role-based access security mechanism is provided.
The Director/Management will be able to view details of all students and staff
members across the entire institutions.
The Principal will be able to view details of all students and staff members
across the entire departments
The Head of the Department can view details of all students in his/her
department.
The Chairperson / Class teacher can view details of all students in the
associated class.
The Faculty members can view details of all students in the class for the
courses he/she handle subjects, both theory / laboratory.

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
Processing of Student‟s Admission details
During admission, the student personal, contact, previous studies, Digital
photo and signature can be entered. The fees challan details for different
courses and the students list can be generated based on fees paid.
Automatically generates student roll numbers which are associated with the
student until the allocation of university seat numbers by VTU.
Processing of Student‟s Academic Details (Department Level)
During each semester, the students are allotted with subjects for whom they
are eligible for or in the case of electives the courses chosen by the student.
Based on this subject allotment, a batch wise student list eligible for each
subject can be generated.
In turn for each subject, the faculty can be assigned with their subject options.
Based on this allocation each faculty will now have ajccess to add syllabus
and course plan for each subject.
For an elective subject, across the limit of class sections, all these will be
visible and accessible to the faculty in single access using his/her password.
Student‘s academic details are effectively monitored by three stages, namely
Entry, Update and Locking by PupilpodSystem Admin. i.e., each class
attendance, coverage of topics and as well as Internal Assessment Test marks
can be allowed for entry after that event occurs and allows elapses in
entry/update for 3 more working days only. After that the elapsed staff can‘t
enter the details without getting approval from concern HoDs/System Admin
for unlocking the same.
The SMS/email alert feature will indicate the list of elapsed staff and lack of
entry particulars. This procedure ensures indirectly that the faculty enters the
marks in time as well as carefully.
For security purpose each log sessions of staff members are preserved in the
Admin Log register, this feature will ensure flawless data entries and
updates.
Once all three internal assessment marks are available, using PupilPod, the
internal marks for each subject can be calculated as per the procedure
prescribed by VTU norms. The internal marks of the students are sent via a
SMS/email/hardcopy( only for critical students).
Providing Information (Central Library Section)
The central library processes is integrated under central point using Pupilpod.
The students can enroll their library access and can verify the availability of
books at their desktop itself using web enabled OPAC facility.

SELF STUDY REPORT

290

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
Providing Information (Parent Section)
The parents can login to pupilpod Portal using their user name and password.
Their ward‘s Personal details, Contact details, Academic details,
Extra/cocurricular
details and remarks (if any) can be viewed in their home itself.
5. Evidence of Success
The major advantage of Pupilpod is the easy availability of relevant and accurate
information to all stakeholders.
The role-based, person-based and time-based and password protected access to
different types and levels of information ensures appropriate confidentiality of
information.
Another major advantage of Pupilpod is the centralized solution for all major sections
of academic and administration sectors. The linking between admission, fees
payment, academic courses, departments, and placement by Pupilpod prevents
unnecessary data entry, necessitates only limited number of checkpoints and thus
increases accuracy of data.
An additional aspect is the availability of history data about the students‘ academic
year batch-wise.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
A further analysis across the years regarding student‘s performance, electives
preferred can be added as extra facilities.
FAQs regarding academic matters, regulations, placements etc. can also be
added to help the student community.
Additional smart card readers in hostel and central library can enrich the
utilization.
BEST PRACTICE 3:
Title: All-round Participation
Goals
The goal of the institution is to make students multidimensional. Mere academic
performance will not make a student ready for the industry or society. It is the duty of
the institution to cater to the society/industry finished graduates who are complete
packages with all-round skills and aptitudes. The reason for this is simple: any onedimensional graduate will be a liability to the society/industry, and it will be contrary
SELF STUDY REPORT

291

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
to the institution‘s intention to produce such citizens. Multi-dimensionality will
ensure that the graduate will adapt to any situation quickly and seamlessly. That is the
need of the hour in the ever-changing world that we live in, and that is why it is our
primary goal.
The Context
As an institution catering to students coming from varied backgrounds and skill
levels, we have continuously faced challenges in implementing all-round participation
in all fields by all our students. Student profiles range from undeveloped/rural to
urban/metropolitan,

regional-language-medium

educated

to

English/convent

educated, possessing abysmal communication skills to having excellent/world-class
communication skills, and everything in between. With such a wide range of student
profiles to deal with, it is a full-time task for the management and faculty members to
devise a plan to bring everyone under the same umbrella and ensure optimal
participation in all activities that are necessary for the all-round personality
development of students.
In spite of the above difficulties, the institution has designed and successfully
implemented guidelines for the practice of all-round participation over the last decade.
The Practice and Response
The institution‘s goal to ensure all-round participation, as already mentioned, has
been implemented successfully. Over the last many years, the College conducts
extracurricular, extramural, and sports activities to supplement academic activities as
prescribed by the University. These activities include drawing, painting, face painting,
singing, rangoli, dancing, skit, drama, , cook without fire, flower arrangement,
vegetable carving, conferences, seminars, workshops, debates, essays, extempore
speeches, group discussions, etc. Sports activities include cricket, football, volleyball,
shuttle badminton, swimming, athletics, etc.
Particular slots are reserved for sports events in odd semesters and cultural activities
in even semesters. Respective class teachers encourage students to participate in all
activities, and registration happens atleast 3 days before the day of the competition.

SELF STUDY REPORT

292

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,
BANGALORE
Sports like cricket, football, volleyball, etc., are conducted using the Round Robin
League format between different semesters/courses. At the end of the semester,
elimination rounds are conducted to decide the winning team/individual. Students are
sent to inter-College, district-level, University level and state-competitions based on
merit shown in College-level competitions. Food, energy drinks, jerseys, etc. are
provided to sportspersons who represent the College.
A wide variety of extracurricular activities is conducted in even semesters to identify
talented students. Prizes are distributed to winners on College Day by the
Principal/Executive Director/Chairman. Winners in these competitions are sent to
inter-College competitions conducted in other Colleges, in Karnataka and other states.
The expenditure for such trips is borne exclusively by the College to encourage
talented students.
Community activities such as blood donation, community cleanliness/hygiene drive,
diabetes (and other disease) awareness program, social cause awareness programs
(advising public about the ill effects of smoking, drinking, drugs, etc.) have been very
successful and have made students more sensitive to society and its needs. In this
manner, we encourage our students to participate in all activities that help them in
their all-round development.
Evidence of Success
We believe that hard work almost always results in success, sooner or later. This
belief has been proven right by the results we have achieved over the last few years.
Our students have excelled in every form of extracurricular activities, be it sports or
cultural or any other, and have earned the distinction of being worthy participants in
Bangalore and other cities. Our students have carved a niche for themselves with their
extensive participation in all events.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Raising the employability of graduates is a key issue for improving the
functioning of any educational institution. Adapting higher education to the
global challenges of our societies is essential for developing knowledge-based

knowledge and skills in a lifelong learning perspective, to improve both their
personal and professional competences.
