Processes
Nature and Extent of involvement of faculty and
students in academic affairs/ improvements
Every class shall have a class committee consisting of
faculty of the concerned class, student representatives and a Class Committee
Chairman, who is not teaching the class. The overall goal of the committee is
for improving the teaching – learning process.
The functions of the Class Committee include
Ø To overcome the difficulties experienced by students
in the class room and in the laboratories
Ø Clarifying the regulations of the degree programme and the details of rules therein to the
students.
Ø Informing the student representatives about the academic schedule including the dates of assessment tests
and the syllabus coverage for each assessment
Ø Informing the student representatives the details
regarding weightage used for each assessment test.
In the case of practical courses (laboratory/drawing/project work/seminar etc.)
the break up of marks for each experiment/ exercise/module of work, shall be
discussed in the class committee meeting and informed to the students
Ø Analyzing the performance of the students in each test and finding the ways and means to improve the
performance
Ø Identifying the weak students, if any, and requesting
the faculty concerned to provide some additional help or guidance or coaching
to such weak students.
Faculty Adviser: Two faculty member’s function as advisor for each class and their function
include monitoring of academic performance, attendance of each student, sending
their progress reports to the parents and apprise the Dean about the progress
of the students

Research Focus
The Institute is a world-renowned center of excellence
in all the fields of Electrochemical Science & Technology
with sophisticated instruments, computers and modern facilities spread over
30000 sq.m. of laboratory. CECRI library is a treasure house of books,
periodicals, translations and other documents providing the researchers
constantly with the new information. CECRI is also recognized as a centre
for Doctoral Research of most of the Indian Universities.
CECRI scientists already have the opportunity of both
carrying out research and teaching for the B.Tech programme since 1988.
Since, the faculties have sufficient research experience; they could provide
better teaching methods, which in turn lead to development of creating better
man power in the field of electrochemical engineering with sufficient research
background.
