Academic Assistance
Academic assistance to students is a specific feature of any academic institute. Here in our Department, ‘Academic Assistance’ to all stakeholders of the Department is open for a long time. It is targeted on the objective to fulfill specific ‘Vision’ and ‘Mission’ of the Department. The students, starting from the very beginning of their journey to the end of their course, are always nurtured by the faculty members, including guest teachers, of the Department. Senior retired teachers of the Department and expert alumni are involved to deliver their best for achieving academic excellence of the students. Even passed out students are benefitted by the services provided by the Department in collaboration with the Alumni Association. Alumni Association built the platform where departmental faculty members, retired teachers of the department and alumni develop an environment for learning in the form of ‘Academic Assistance’.

Feedback forms covering delivery of lectures, understanding of content, coverage of syllabus, and specific assistance needs are filled up by the students. Based on the feedback, additional classes, counseling, remedial teaching, etc. are arranged. These help the students in better understanding the subject and applying the same for chemical engineering practice. Interaction with the students in tutorial classes also helps assess the impact of course content and take appropriate measures.
