• Earlier, focus was on input based assessment; however now the emphasis is on input, output and quality driven Outcome Based Education
• Teachers should aim to develop skills of students through Case Method and Project-Based Learning
• While NAAC is Institution Level Assessment, NBA is Department Level Assessment and it is a continuous process
• Faculty should take up internship in industries and focus on quality publications along with motivating students for publications
While concluding his talk, Dr. Gopala Krishna appreciated the in-house industries and start-ups of Sahyadri and stimulated faculty to engage in them wholeheartedly and take it to the next level.
