Bonafide Certificate Examination ResultsSitemap Verification
Welcome to National Institute Of Science & Technology.
- It is requested that the candidate intend to work in the significant professional field, as the Industry Integrated Education and Integrated degrees are based on E-learning process.
- The admission is placed finally by considering the candidates educational background, work profile, academic achievements, work experience, profile of the organization being employed.
- The education in IIEdPm is characterized by person-Affiliate Associate Centered (AAC) approach where the rigor and standard are maintained on par with NIST system of education on-campus. These programmes judiciously combine the flexibility and ingenuity of the outreach educational system with all the regular features on the E-leaning education system. Also the learning and evaluation process draws upon the successful and established methodologies followed by the NIST. The work learning environment of a student under IIEdPm consists of two board-based facets:
1. Academic environment created by the Affiliate Associate Centre for IIEdPm and Affliate Associate Centre based Instructors who are faculty drawn from different disciplines.
2. Students own work environment from which assignments, projects, seminar etc., may emerge to integrate theory and practice.
- The work learning environment form a strict requirement in order to infuse a strong component of teacher –student contact through course instructors as well as the mentor. There is in the design, a clear arrangement of periodic personal discussion in the work-learning environment with the students so that their progress is directly monitored by planned interaction. Thus the operation is an imaginative combination of the contact hours and tutoring on the campus system with the student – Affiliate Associate Centered self-study feature of the outreach system and an organizational and pedagogic commitment of the Integrating organizations. The student is at once, a full-time student as well as full-time employee.
- For each course offered there is an Instructor, who is the Affliate Associate centre faculty, drawn from the relevant discipline that is charged with the responsibility of the conduct of the course. This will be in terms of preparing question papers, evaluation of answer papers and answering students queries apart from preparing instruction manuals, question bank , supplementary notes etc., wherever required in order to strengthen the course.
- For each course there will be a program guide, which will spell out the plan of study and evaluation schemes, prescribed text book/E-learning materials. The evaluation schedule is also announced in the beginning of the session itself. All details pertaining to the operation of the course including grading procedures are shared with the students through this document. It is responsibility of each student to textbooks and other reference materials recommended for each course in the programming guide.
- Evaluation of the performance of learners is one of the important components of any teaching-learning system. The NIST evaluates the performance of its learners through Assignments, project works, practical and the objective type Term End Examinations.
- As one of the learners friendly features, the NIST has been conducting On-Demand Online Examination is an innovative step to forward to make the examination system more flexible and to provide an opportunity for the learners to take up the examinations as per their desire and preparation.
- This innovation venture of On-Demand Online Examination will provide a completely flexible system of examination independent of the traditional fixed time frame. Under the scheme of On-Demand Online Examinations, students can walk into identified IIEP authorized test Affiliate Associate Centre on the prescribed days as per their choice and appear for the examination of the course for which they are registered. They may be not required to wait for the six months term and examination.
The NIST conducts Industry Integrated Education programmes as a means of continuing education for employed professionals as part of the human resource development programmes of specific organizations. For the conduct of Industry Integrated Education programmes, the basic requirement is the participation of the integrative organization by extending physical and other facilities and by agreeing to integrate their work requirements with the academic requirements of the NIST for the Pursuit of the Diploma / Bachelor / Master level programme. In all these programmes, emphasis is on self-learning and the pedagogy attempts to integrate as many modern technologies as desirable. While every one of these programmes requires integration of an organization, some programmes have a highly structured integration with planned classroom activities and some programmes may have less structured planning. While a number of Course of Programmes are offered through structured integration with many integrating organizations, there are also Course of Programmes, which are available in an open manner as Industry Integrated Education programmes for a large number of organizations, each of which may sponsor students. For all these programmes, faculty/resource persons are drawn from the Affiliate Associate Center of Industry Integrated Education programmes the participating organizations as well as experts from other Institutions.
Study, which is incapable of providing suitable employment and knowledge, is fruitless. Our present educational system rarely contains industry component in it like in other developed countries. The purpose of every education is to obtain factual knowledge and employment. In this competitive environment the difference between education and industry is widening day-by-day. This leads difficulty in adjustment of young alumnus in industry. Sometime it took lot of time even many years to transform them in to professionals. In the absence of proper guidance many students distract from the correct way to proceed with their career, and choose different profession away from their qualification, and this yields wastage of significant number of years of their life. This is education to profession dropout.
For example as we are struggling with the deficiency of engineering professionals despite of having thousands of engineering colleges in the country. Why? Due to directionless efforts of present education system most of the young engineering alumnus shifts themselves to some other industry, unwillingly. As earlier explained this phenomenon is education to profession dropout. The reasons may be m any, like lack of direction for a proper start, dissatisfaction from industry, understanding of work etc. Only 5% of the engineers leave the field because of genuine reasons. Remaining 95% leaves the field because of the reasons, like they do not know how to start or they do not know how to adjust in industry or they do not have basic understanding to work in industry. Every year at least 50% of the engineering graduates leave the field, i.e. the education to profession dropout in the engineering field is more than 50%. This loss is in addition to the manual hours wasted to educate them for their precious 4 to 6 years. Some of them choose less skilled jobs. This process can also be observed in other professionals as well, where the industry interaction is negligible.
On contrary in field of Medicines this education to profession dropout ratio is not more than 5%. Why? Yes, just because of the real time training with studies. All medical students are required to attend practical, compulsory internship within their study curriculum. This industry exposure is quite similar to the futuristic circumstances which they require to face, when they will work as an independent professional. Also, they got ample opportunities to work under highly specialized senior professionals. The result itself shows the success story of this education model.
Conclusively, we are 95% sure that the medical graduate passing out will work as a medical professional, in comparison to 50% of engineering graduates to become an engineering professional. Industry Integrated Education is an effort to make all educational models of country at par with industry integrated model like in medical education. Industry Integrated Education will be given to student with real industry working experience. This serves dual purpose; one student will obtain precious work experience in addition to the academic knowledge. Conclusively, Industry Integrated Education is the only tool which can fulfill the demand of modern industry.
