Self Financing Engineering Colleges

Self Financing Engineering Colleges


With the increase in Self financing Engineering colleges, unless the managements are keen in improvement they can not survive. First thing that they have to do is to take a statistics of what is the percentage pass, how many are employed, what could be done to others and what happens to those who fail. The following corrective measures are required for their survival:


  • Only really interested students should be admitted
  • Students should be given training in communication and placement training
  • Staff should be given proper training in teaching techniques and in good attitude
  • Staff should be given also training in communication and presentation skills
  • Staff should be strictly instructed to use English as the medium of instruction
  • Staff should be encouraged for higher studies, attending advanced courses
  • Staff should be insisted to publish papers in journals and conferences
  • Managements should have proper dialogues with staff and students
  • Managements should arrange for placement interviews
  • College should have industry institute interaction
  • Students should take live projects to have an awareness of practical requirements
  • More than picnics there should be industrial visits
  • There should be good staff student relationship
  • Labs should be well equipped not only for the course but also for doing projects
  • Industrial work should be taken up in various labs to benefit staff and students
  • The atmosphere of the college should be conducive for study and research


Unless theses measures are atleast followed, there is no future for the colleges and the students
