Student Satisfaction Survey 2021 - 22

Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS) is one of the mandatory criteria set by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). It is also a pre qualifier for Assessment and Accreditation of the institution. From 2017 onwards the NAAC has endeavoured to conduct a Student Experience Survey, the results of which will go into the accreditation process.

The Survey included 21 competency based questions, responses to which are given by students of the institution. This survey corresponds to an institute level feedback on learning experience including completion of syllabus; quality of teaching; student – centric method of teaching; use of ICT tools; communication skills of the teachers, internal evaluation, internships and field visits, mentoring etc.

Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS) was undertaken in August 2022, observations of which are as follows:

Following parameters received highest rating from the students:

1. Teachers’ preparation for the lectures
