<big>Our student Priorities are shown below:</big>
<big>3.Centralised Online Resource Environment(CORE)</big>
==<big>Priority 1 : Readers club</big>==<big>After observing the past few years, we have noticed that as we are now pursuing our 2nd and 3rd years of our bachelor’s degree, the majority of students are addicted to and highly habituated to mobile phones and the internet. As a result, book-reading habits are declining day by day among students. This affects them in several ways they are becoming confined to a limited vocabulary, which leads to poor imagination and creativity. It also causes difficulties in communication. To address this issue, we came up with the idea of a Readers Club. This club aims to promote book reading among students and highlight the benefits of reading books.</big><br /> ==='''How are we going to do this?'''=== *<big>We identify students who love reading books through surveys in the college.</big>*<big>Then, we make all the interested members into a club.</big>*<big>We grant them an access card designed specifically for this Readers'Club and allow them to access all kinds of books in the library.</big>*<big>During the club’s time, they can enter the library, sit, and read the books. After reading for some time, we will conduct group discussions on the books according to their interests and the genres they are reading.</big>*<big>In the group discussions, students can present their views on the books and authors. This also improves student-to-student interaction and allows them to observe diverse perspectives of others too.</big><br /> ==='''How will students get benefittedbenefited?'''=== *<big>Students will develop a regular reading habit, which enhances their vocabulary and comprehension skills.</big>*<big>Reading books will improve their imagination, creativity, and critical thinking abilities.</big>*<big>Group discussions will boost their communication and presentation skills.</big>*<big>Interacting with fellow readers will help them share ideas, gain new perspectives, and build confidence.</big>*<big>Overall, this initiative will promote intellectual growth, focus, and a positive academic environment among students.</big> ==<big>Priority 2 :</big> <big>Tech magazines</big>==<big>Engineering students often get caught up in their demanding academic work, which makes it challenging to keep up with the latest technological advancements and innovations. As a result, many remain unaware of important developments in their fields, missing out on valuable knowledge that could enhance their learning and future careers. Without an easy way to access current tech updates, students struggle to stay connected with industry trends beyond their coursework, Engineering students, often engrossed in academics, miss out on critical tech advancements. To bridge this gap, we propose a monthly Tech Magazine featuring innovations from all college departments (CS, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.), keeping students informed and connected with industry trends.</big><br /> ==='''How are we going to do this?'''=== *<big>Form a Core Team: We will create a dedicated team of students from different engineering departments who are interested in technology, writing, and editing.</big>*<big>Content Collection: The team will gather information from reliable sources — including research papers, college projects, seminars, and global tech updates.</big>*<big>Magazine Design & Editing: The collected content will be edited, formatted, and designed into a professional-looking monthly magazine, both in digital and print formats.</big>*<big>Monthly Release: The Tech Magazine physical copy will be published every month and distributed to all departments. A digital version will also be shared through the college website or student portals.</big>*<big>Feedback & Improvement: We will collect feedback from readers to continuously improve the quality and relevance of the magazine’s content</big>. <br /> ==='''How will students get benefited?'''=== *<big>Students will stay updated with the latest technological trends and innovations happening across different engineering fields.</big>*<big>It encourages students to explore beyond textbooks and gain real-world technical knowledge.</big>*<big>This creates an opportunity for students to choose their further career interests as they get exposed to all the different kinds of technological news.</big>*<big>Promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing among students from various departments.</big>*<big>Helps students stay informed about new technologies, which can inspire ideas for projects, internships, and future careers.</big>*<big>Builds awareness of</big>*<big>advancements that can enhance their technical expertise and innovation mindset.</big> <br /> ==<big>Priority 3 : Centralised Online Resource Environment(CORE)</big>==<big>In today’s digital learning environment, students often struggle to find reliable and organized learning materials relevant to their subjects and interests. Valuable resources such as PDFs, research papers, tutorial videos, and online courses are scattered across different platforms, making it difficult for students to access them efficiently. The ''CORE'' aims to solve this problem by creating a centralized digital repository within the college where students can easily find curated academic and skill-development resources. This initiative helps students learn beyond textbooks, promotes self-learning, and ensures equal access to quality educational content for all departments.</big><br /> ==='''How are we going to do this?'''=== *<big>We will develop a '''dedicated website''' that acts as a central hub for all academic and co-curricular learning materials.</big>*<big>Resources will be organized by branch, subject, topic, and skill domain for easy navigation, with each department having a section where faculty coordinators and student volunteers regularly upload materials such as PDF notes, e-books, recorded lectures, research papers, and course links.</big>*<big>We will collaborate with senior students and faculty to curate verified and high-quality content relevant to each subject and semester.</big>*<big>To ensure continuous updates, a student-led “Resource Team” will maintain the hub, adding new materials and removing outdated ones.</big>*<big>Additionally, the website will feature recommended '''free and paid online courses (Coursera, NPTEL, edX, Udemy, etc.)''' to guide students in enhancing their skills.</big>*<big>Feedback forms will be embedded for students to suggest new resources or report missing topics, ensuring the platform evolves dynamically.</big> <br /> ==='''How will students get benefited?'''=== *<big>Access to all academic and technical learning materials from one central platform.</big>*<big>Save time searching for resources and focus more on effective learning.</big>*<big>Encourages '''self-learning and continuous skill improvement''' beyond the classroom.</big>*<big>Helps students from rural or resource-limited backgrounds access equal learning opportunities.</big>*<big>Acts as a guide for '''exam preparation, project work, internships, and research'''.</big>*<big>Facilitates collaborative learning as students can share and recommend resources through the hub.</big>*<big>Supports faculty by reducing redundancy in sharing materials and improving student engagement.</big>*<big>Builds a sustainable, student-driven knowledge ecosystem within the college.</big> <br /> ==<big>Priority 4 : Incubation Centre</big>==<big>Students hold immense potential to build start-ups and solve real-world problems through innovation. However, many ideas never progress beyond the brainstorming stage due to a lack of proper guidance and resources. To address this gap, we propose an Incubation Centre - a dedicated space within the college that helps students transform their innovative ideas into viable start-ups.</big> <big>The main goal of the Incubation Centre is to promote creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship among students by providing mentorship, resources, and a collaborative environment. It acts as a bridge between academics and the start-ups ecosystem, inspiring students to think beyond traditional career paths.</big><br /> ==='''How are we going to do this?'''=== *<big>Establish a dedicated workspace in the college for idea development and prototype building.</big>*<big>Conduct start-up workshops and innovation challenges to identify potential student innovators.</big>*<big>Provide technical and business mentorship from faculty, alumni, and industry professionals.</big>*<big>Collaborate with organizations like SIH, MSME, and other hackathon programs.</big>*<big>Create an Innovation Wall to showcase student projects and start-up journeys.</big> <br />
*<big>Gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship and innovation.</big>
*<big>Learn essential start-ups and business skills through mentorship and workshops.</big>
*<big>Access to funding opportunities, prototype support, and industry connections.</big>
*<big>Build confidence, leadership, and teamwork through real-world problem-solving.</big>
*<big>Inspire other students as successful start-ups emerge from the centre</big> <br />
==<big>Priority 5 :Social Sphere</big>==
<big>In today’s fast-paced and digitally driven world, many students struggle to build meaningful connections and express themselves confidently. Post-pandemic, this gap has widened — with increasing social anxiety, reduced empathy, and a lack of real interaction beyond screens. We believe that developing social confidence is as vital as academic or technical excellence.</big>
<br />
== Priority 2: Building Entrepreneur mindset in students ='''How are we going to do this?'''===<big>Fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in students is essential in preparing them for the challenges of the modern world. Making them more creative, problem solvers, risk takers, and hard workers. We take support from the Faculty, Entrepreneur Cell and make students learn from both successes and failure, and to always look for new ideas.</big>
*<big>We plan to implement “Social Sphere,” a campus-wide initiative designed to promote healthy social interaction and communication confidence among students.</big>
*<big>Through experiential and engaging activities, we aim to help students step out of their comfort zones and connect beyond academics.</big>
*<big>We plan to start with a “Social Sphere Day”, a flagship event that includes:</big>
**<big>Icebreakers and Team Builders like Speed Friending and Pass the Compliment</big>
**<big>Empathy-based Sessions such as Human Library and Open Mic for Expression</big>
**<big>Creative Corners with Story Circles and Art Walls for reflection and collaboration</big>
*<big>To ensure continuity, we’ll establish Buddy Circles for monthly meetups and a Wall of Connection to capture memorable moments and reflections. We also aim to create a Social Skill Tracker that rewards active participation and encourages ongoing engagement.</big> <br />
==='''<big>How are we going to do thiswill students get benefited?</big>'''===

<br />
==<big>Priority 1 : Vision Quest</big>==
<big>Many students struggle with choosing a career path and lack clarity about the skills required for specific roles. Vision Quest prepares students for the future by providing in-depth knowledge about their chosen field of study. Through this program, students gain insights into the future scope of their branch, enabling them to focus on specific areas to sharpen and develop their skills. This approach offers a clear roadmap and vision for their career paths.</big>

==='''How will students get benefited ?'''===
*<big>We are going to use the advanced learning classes that are happening in our college and turn them into a time that helps a student with their research-thinking skills.</big> *<big>We plan to make sure students will be able to produce a full-fledged research paper for the institution in 2 semesters.</big>*<big>The academic year could consist of 2 semesters and the 1<sup>st</sup> semester would be the introduction where the students discover the process of writing a research paper and acquiring the skills that are needed to write the research paper.</big>*<big>In the second semester, students who excelled in will choose their research domain and proceed with writing their research paper.</big>*<big>Weekly sessions will be conducted so that the students will be able to clarify their doubts and gather some suggestions regarding their projectspaper writing and publication.</big>
* <big>The Beneficial as it can be added to the resume.</big> ==<big>Priority 3 : Wellness Wave</big>==<big>In today’s competitive environment, having a positive mindset and strong emotional intelligence is just as crucial as any technical or academic skill. With the number of choices, goals, and the constant pressure to acquire new skills , students often find it challenging to excel while maintaining good mental health. We believe addressing this issue is essential, as it is truly the need of the achievers hour.</big> ==='''How are we going to do this ?'''=== *<big>We aim to develop a institutional chapter that oversees all the work done regarding this.</big>*<big>We plan to organize events, campaigns, and seminars to raise awareness about the importance of emotional and mental health among students.</big>*<big>We will be exposed provide some quiz and assessments to inspire many more students that help them to realize understand and assess their dreamsemotional intelligence / capabilities.</big>* <big>A wall of fame With this test we’ll try to convey the students how they can inspire effectively work on the areas needed for this to improve themselves or get better at it</big>*<big>We would like to do this once a semester and motivate current we want to use events to provide this test to students or members by showcasing .</big> ==='''How will students get benefited ?'''=== *<big>They will be able to handle all their work and academics more efficiently as they can handle all the achievements of stress and pressure in a better way.</big>*<big>Higher self-esteem.

==<big>Priority 4 : Break N Build</big>==
<big>The technique by which individuals learn about specific items and instruments that are relevant to their course is called reverse engineering. By taking classes in which they are interested, students can have a detailed understanding of what they want to become in the future. this can be done by taking an item, dispatching, and thoroughly detailing each portion. In some situations, it is not possible to dispatch but, we may create an animated slide that may catch people's interest.</big>
== Priority 4:Project Vault ==<big>In order to give the crucial and insightful knowledge about projects to students from final years, '''How are we plan going to gather information about the projects completed by them. We will make them available to the students in the form of a website and also in the library.</big>do this ?'''===
*<big>We aim to develop a comprehensive roadmap/curriculum for reverse engineering that outlines what we will teach and what students will learn throughout the semester.</big>
*<big>Later we are going to release a registration form or so for the interested students to join in this club and learn</big>
*<big>We aim to develop a curriculum that integrates reverse engineering across various disciplines. This will enable students to gain hands-on experience with applications, automobiles, electronic devices, and more.</big>
*<big>We plan to structure the curriculum so that students spend one-week reverse engineering a product, followed by the next week applying their newfound knowledge to create an improved prototype.</big>

Users can ask questions about campus life, infrastructure, academics, etc. Only a selected group of students and faculty can answer these questions, providing quick and reliable information.</big> <big>It’s a priority of our seniors' fellows, but unfortunately it could not be established. So our aim is to reimplement campus Quora by additionally implying some features like:</big> *<big>Making it a part of Insight hub where students can share their queries regarding their learnings from the website.</big>*<big>We want to create a section called ‘SPACES’ where student chapters and bodies which exist in our campus can create space and share information and knowledge respective to their domain.</big> ==='''How are we going to do this?'''=== *<big>We are planning to develop a public webpage for posting and answering queries related to campus life, accessible to everyone.</big>*<big>Both questions and answers will be visible to all.</big>*<big>Chatbot will be available in the website and a help line will also be there.</big>*<big>Additionally, the website will provide a platform to share campus newsletters, magazines, and other college-related updates.</big> ==='''How will students get benefitted?'''=== *<big>It saves time.</big>*<big>Enables interaction with college faculty and management.</big>*<big>It serves as a hub for campus-related knowledge sharing.</big>*<big>Facilitates easy queries resolution.</big> =FALL 2022 COHORT==
<big>Our Student Priorities are shown below:</big>
<span style="font-size:medium;">It provides students an effective Innovation space and allows them to do much more. They are allowed to do more in their area of interest. In regular curriculum, only 3–4 periods are given to extra curricular activities per week. But in re-designed one, the students will have at least two such periods for the day. The new curriculum will have more emphasis on student's exposure to practical learning techniques. Current time table only allows three pairs of periods for the students to spend time and experiment their ideas in labs. The new time table will atleast have a pair of periods per day dedicated to labs or similar facilities on the campus.</span>
[[File:Timetable.jpeg|link=Special:FilePath/Timetable.jpeg|465x465px]]
==<span style="font-size:x-large;">'''Strategy 4: Spreading The Concept Of "OPEN ACCESS"'''</span>==
<span style="font-size:medium;">Awareness and contribution to "Open Society" initiatives is one of the most important to methods to check the institutions role and impact on the society. However, in the present situation, the culture of "Open Access" on the campus can be rated as 3/10. With the following strategies, it can be developed to 7/10 in a period one year.</span>
[[File:Oalogo.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Oalogo.jpg|499x499px]]
<span style="font-size:medium;">The first step of this strategy is create awareness among the students, staff, and the administration, about "Open Access", its need and importance. To achieve this goal, the major cut will be hosting an OpenCon satellitive event. OpenCon satellite events are hosted a sub regional events of annual OpenCon (similar to TEDx under TED). Again, the 3rd week of October is globally celebrated as Open Access week. During this week, various sessions can be organized for the students.Another important way is to place Did You Know (DYK) posters from Wikipedia, and info with the interesting facts about Open Access and QR codes more information.</span>
<span style="font-size:medium;">As of now, same assignment is being given to all the students of the section. This system has few flaws since it gives a chance to students to copy it from others’ and the difficulty/practical implementation of an assignment is 2 on a scale of 10. This ultimately contradicts the whole idea behind giving an assignment.</span>
[[File:Redesign Assignment system.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Redesign_Assignment_system.jpg|400x400px]]
<span style="font-size:medium;">What are the obvious flaws because of this?</span>
==<span style="font-size:x-large;">'''Strategy 7: Industrial awareness through alumni interactions'''</span>==
[[File:Alumni Interaction.jpg|link=Special:FilePath/Alumni_Interaction.jpg|300x300px]]
</div>
<span style="font-size:medium;">It is not possible to have industrial tours for all students and also students will not have a clear idea of the industrial environment/opportunity through just 1 or 2 tours. For a student to have a keen idea on what to learn during their UG so that they don’t feel pressurized with problems after they join their workplace and also to have an idea on what skills they need to work on to join their field of intrest, we decided to have more interactive sessions with alumni who are working. They can either be web sessions or we can have them come down to our college if they are free to give seminars that eliminates students’ doubts and confusion regarding their career</span>
<span style="font-size:medium;">The workshop inculcates the way an individual thinks about a problem. It has 5 stages like Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. In each stage the participants will go through different thinking patterns like digging deeper, analyzing, brainstorming, designing and prototyping etc. Students will be benefited a lot by this. We are planning to conduct the workshop once in every week for our college students. So, students will be having a vision of how to think and what to do regarding a problem.</span>
