GD/PI 2.8 Students:

About six hundred and twenty students were admitted in undergraduate programmes in the year 2008 including the foreign students out of which about half of the students come from the state of West Bengal. In addition to the students from other states of India, about forty five students were admitted from foreign countries like Ghana, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Kenya, Canada, UAE, etc. In this era of free market economy India is a part of the global village unconfined in its territory that we see in text books of Geography. Our students are carrying out research works in different academic institutes of higher learning, working in multinational companies and have already made their mark all over the world. Four pre-final year students were selected for summer internship and projects at CERN, Geneva; six students were selected for summer projects in Germany in DAAD scheme and four students were selected for summer internship at NUS, Singapore. One student of Computer Science & Engineering department were designated as its brand ambassadors by Sun Microsystems Limited in 2008-09 and two students worked on a project sponsored by them. Intel sponsored two students of the same department for internship. Four students were selected for OPJEMS Scholarship offered by O. P. Jindal Group. With a total annual intake of around a thousand students every year in various branches of Engineering at undergraduate and postgraduate levels including in MCA, and MBA Programmes, the Institute has excelled not only in academics but also in other fields. Students of the Institute organise and participate in different types of techno-scientific, managerial and cultural activities round the year through a number of students’ bodies/clubs, such as Centre for Cognitive

11

activities (CCA), GNU/Linux User Group, Literary Circle, Club Communion, Prakriti, Enter-Act-Club, Chayanika, Music Club, Maths-n-Tech Club etc. Centre of Cognitive Activities (CCA) organized Conclave, a technical seminar during September 06-07, 2008 and ‘Robocity’, a craze among the students, on October 09, 2008. CCA also organized ‘Princeton Review Seminar’ for all those aspiring for higher studies in USA and UK. Aarohan 2K9, the techno-management fest of the students organized by CCA during February 26 to March 01, 2009, is probably the biggest such event in the eastern part of the country. Participants from institutes all over India as well as students of the institute took active part in varieties of programmes and contests namely, Junkyard Wars, Contraptions, Abhivyakti, Robocity, NetworKing, B-Plan, Prabandhan, Darwinia, Exquizzit, etc. For the first time international participation and guest lecturers from NUS, Singapore was added attraction. Robotics at NIT Durgapur reached a remarkable height in the last year. Where only mechanical robotics was solely dominating, it was not until last year that the students even started showing interests in autonomous robotics as well. This can be explicitly noticed from colleges’ performance at Robocon 2k8 and 2k9. The prime motto of GNU/Linux Users’ Group is to create awareness about GNU/Linux, to promote Free Software and to contribute upstream in the FOSS world. GLUG, NIT Durgapur has been organizing talks/workshops and teacher training programs in association with IOTA, under the guidance of Dept. of Information Technology, Govt. of West Bengal. GLUG organized CodeCracker, the Online Programming Contest based on C/C++. The international edition of CodeCracker drew more than 1700 visitors from all over the world. MUKTI’09 – the Annual National Level Technical Symposium on GNU/Linux and Free Software was held from February 02-08, 2009 and was a grand success. Club Communion organized a number of events during the year such as Foto Fantasia, aimed to develop the qualities of imagination, innovation and integration among the students. The club also organized group discussion, public speaking classes, mock placement papers and interviews during the year. The conference of NITMUN 2009 was organized during Aarohan 2k9 on the issue of Israel-Palestine conflict. Fourteen teams were present during the entire conference which was carried for 2 days.

Literary Circle organized its flagship event Verve2K8, which is the biggest literary-youth fest in this region of the country. A massive turnout of over 2000, including around 500 outstation participants gives a clear evidence of the growing popularity of the fest in the college circuit of West Bengal. With Verve, was released the 8th issue of Deja-Vu, the official newsletter of the college. The issue basically dealt with the problems plaguing the youth nowadays and met with critical appreciation. Literary Circle organized ‘Star-Talk 2K9, a panel discussion of renowned speakers, during Aarohan 2k9 and released the 9th issue of Deja-Vu. Students established Prakriti, an environmental club this year and tried to make the people aware of their environment.

4.9 Examination Details

Written examinations are held at the end semester (3 hour duration) for the theory papers. Question papers are set internally and moderated by the respective Departmental Academic Committee (DAC). The Institute provides central arrangements for B. Tech. examinations. The postgraduate examinations are being conducted by the respective departments from this academic year, with partial support from the Institute, whenever necessary. The students are also continuously assessed through class tests, viva-voce and the class attendance. For the laboratory and sessional classes the assessment are continuous supported by viva-voce test /examination at the end of the semester. The methods of the evaluation systems on such assessments are given below.

SGPA- CGPA System All the subjects in a semester carry credit units depending on the contact hour per week and nature (lecture/

tutorial/ sessional/ laboratory) of the class. The full marks for all the subjects both theoretical and sessional/laboratory are 100. The percentage mark of a theoretical subject consists of 30% by continuous assessment, and 70% through end semester examination. The total mark obtained in a subject is converted to appropriate letter grade by the departmental academic committee (DAC) and dispatched for result compilation. In general, the number to grade conversion and the corresponding grade value is as follows:

90 and above: Ex (10); 80-89: A (9); 70-79: B (8); 60-69: C (7); 50-59: D (6); 40-49: P (5). Below 40 in theory subject or below 50 in sessional/ laboratory: F (0); Absent: X (0).

The product of the grade value and the credit unit of that particular subject is the grade point earned by the student in that subject. The total grade point (TGP) is the summation of all such grade points. Semester grade point average (SGPA) = (TGP)/ Total credit unit of the semester, rounded up to second place of decimal. If the candidate cleared all the subjects his SGPA is marked passed in the grade sheet, otherwise supplementary. Such candidates will be allowed to appear in the supplementary examinations of the subjects in which he/she has failed. Fresh grade sheet is issued for such candidates with improved SGPA. The grade obtained by the candidates in the subjects for which he/she had appeared for the supplementary examination are decreased by one step at the time of compilation of the supplementary examination results. Unsuccessful candidates in the supplementary examination are to repeat the semester through readmission. Two such readmissions are permitted in the whole undergraduate studentship. The CGPA is also indicated in the grade sheet, which is the indicator of the student’s continuing performance given by the ratio of the total grade point scored by the student up to the current semester and the total credit unit of all the subjects up to the current semester. Based on the CGPA at the end of the final semester the classes are awarded as follows: CGPA≥ 8.00 First class with Distinction; 8.00 > CGPA ≥ 6.50 First class; the rest of the passed candidates get Second class.

Similar system is followed for the M. Tech., MBA and MCA Courses. In some special project based courses

in MBA the 70/30 ratio as indicated above is changed according to need. The results of the end semester examinations (both Undergraduate and Postgraduate) are compiled centrally

and published by the office of the Controller of Examinations. 4.10 Training and Placement

The Institute provides industrial training and placement to the students through the Dept. of Training Placement and Students Welfare. The students are given an insight of the corporate industry via various vocational training programs facilitated by the department. The department believes that such an insight is quite crucial and helps the students in understanding the professional aspects along with the technical details of their probable future jobs. Along with training sessions (ranging between 3 to 5 weeks), the department also organizes plant visits to various organizations in and around Durgapur. Apart from providing industrial training, the department also helps the students in preparing for Campus recruitment drives by developing their communication and interpersonal skills through certain development programs, which include conduction of mock group interviews. It also takes care of inviting reputed firms from all over to hire students through their campus recruitment drives.

Annexure – 11.14 TEQIP Introduction India plans to become an economic powerhouse by 2020. Over the last decade and a half globalization and liberalization of economy have raised aspirations of Indians to a higher level. It has been recognized that only by competing successfully in the globally interdependent world economy can aspiration of Indians be met. For this to happen large-scale production of technical manpower of international standard is a precondition. This will lead to major restructuring of every sector of economy enhancing its efficiency through intensive and judicious use of technology, and in turn increasing productivity which will create expanded opportunities for employment, and a better quality of life. The Government of India decided to bring in systemic transformation of technical education in India. Technical Education Quality Education Programme (TEQIP) was conceived in pursuance of the National Policy of Education -1986 (revised in 1992) to upscale and support the ongoing efforts of the Government of India to improve quality of technical education and enhance existing capacities of the institutions to become dynamic, demand-driven, quality conscious, efficient and forward looking, responsive to rapid economic and technological developments occurring both at national and international levels. The programme objectives are:

• to create an environment in which engineering institutions selected under the programme can achieve their own set targets for excellence and sustain the same with autonomy and accountability.

• to support development plans including synergistic networking and services to community and economy of competitively selected institutions for achieving higher standards.

• to improve efficiency and effectiveness of the technical education management system in states and institutions selected under the Programme.

One hundred and twenty-seven technical institutions from different parts of the country have been participating in the project, funded by the World Bank. National Institute of Technology (NIT), Durgapur was the first institute from the eastern India to be included in the project as a lead institution in April 2004 and was allocated a fund of Rs 21crores. The Institute participated in the programme very successfully for five years till it concluded on March 31, 2009. The entire fund has been spent to develop infrastructure and in human resource development. Project objectives of NIT Durgapur:

• To modernize existing laboratories and to create new laboratories in the departments • To upgrade the existing central facilities like Computer Centre, Library, Workshop and to create new

facilities like Central Instrumentation Facility • To network all instruction buildings, faculty residences and students’ hostels with high bandwidth Internet

connectivity • To improve the quality of faculty, officers and staff through training programmes • To foster research and consultancy • To collaborate with networked institutions • To provide services to community and economy

Outcome of TEQIP: New central facilities like Central Instrumental Facility, CAD Laboratory, Language Laboratory and 17 new laboratories were set up and the existing central facilities and 49 laboratories were modernized. NIT Durgapur was among the first few institutions in Eastern India to procure a blade server for its Computer Centre in 2005. The center has since been further equipped with a large number of servers, desktop PCs and peripherals. Twenty five software including CATIA, Pro-Engineer, ANSYS, Aspen, Arc-GIS, SPSS, Oracle, DB2, etc. were procured and placed in the central server. All academic and non-academic departments were provided with adequate number of PC and peripherals for students’ training, research and office work. The instruction buildings, hostels guesthouse and faculty residences have been networked with 75 Mbps Internet-connectivity. Institute Automation System encompassing personnel, accounts, academics and estate with a single-point data entry is implemented with the creation of the past database in progress. Library automation is in place to a large extent with the use of the software LIBSYS, with the issue and return of books being done through barcoders. A large number of learning resources and a learning management system have been purchased to supplement teaching and encourage self-learning. More than 4000 new reference books augmented the existing collection. Workshop is another central facility where latest equipments like Rapid Prototype Machine,

108

Electrochemical Machining Centre, Sheet Shearing Machine, Fatigue Testing Machine, MIG MAG Welding Machine, etc. were added to the existing facilities. A new Central Instrumentation Facility has been set up in this project with state-of-the-art instruments like Scanning Electron Microscope with EDS, X-Ray Diffractometer, Nd:YAG Laser Unit, Spectrum Analyzer, etc. The center has given a boost to the research in materials science and technology. Another new central facility, CAD Laboratory has come up with servers and workstations and related softwares. Institute automation system encompassing personnel, accounts, academics and estate has been implemented. This will speed up decision-making and bring in transpency. A number of components are already in use while the database is being created for the rest. Civil work has been taken up for renovation and refurbishing of the Institute building, departments and the centres. The old computer center was renovated to Central Instrumentation Facility. A CAD laboratory and a Workshop – extension building have been constructed to house the modern equipments procured. Seminar rooms are being built in different departments, in addition to a few more refurbishing and extension activities. One of the vital components of the project is improvement in quality of human resources through training programmes. More than 150 faculty and 25 staff members have been trained on latest developments in respective fields of specialization in national institutes of repute. Sixty faculty members participated in collaborative research programme and presented papers in international conferences abroad. NIT Durgapur acts as a lead institution in a network with other technical institutions like NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Silchar, Kalyani Government Engineering College and Asansol Engineering College. Faculty members from these institutions visit other institutions to deliver invited lectures, interact with faculty and students, organize joint workshops, share resources and carry out other joint activities. Fifty eight seminars/workshops/conferences were organized on emerging areas where speakers from reputed universities from USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and India were invited. All the programmes were well attended by the faculty members of different technical institutions of India and the students. Under Services to Community NIT Durgapur, in association with other NGOs, organized a number of entrepreneurship development programmes on green power, greenhouse technology, information technology and rural employment generation. Programmes on AIDS awareness, literacy and health awareness, medical camps and training on electrician’s trade were held in Palashdiha and Arah. There were a large number of beneficiaries of these programmes where the students, staff and the faculty participated. A number of rural entrepreneurship development programmes were also organized. Fourteen projects were carried out in different areas of community needs.

Concluding Remarks: A large number of committees and task forces were constituted and most of the faculty members, staff and students have been involved in the implementation of the project. The results of this collective endeavour started getting notices when the progress of NIT Durgapur in the project was lauded by the World Bank team during the Joint Review Missions. The outcome of TEQIP is reflected in rapid improvement in all academic and research output indicators. NIT Durgapur grabbed the opportunities TEQIP has provided and has set off in right direction towards establishing itself as a centre of excellence. Annexure 11.15 Alumni The Alumni Association, NITDAA, is spread over different parts of the country and the world. It works in close association with the Institute in its development. NITDAA offers Professor S. N. Ray scholarships to the students and also help them in getting internship. Various chapters organized different programmes over the year and the Annual Global Meet was held at NIT Durgapur on January 11, 2009. NITDAA will collaborate with NIT Durgapur to celebrate the Golden Jubilee programme of the Institute on a grand scale.

Annexure 11.16 (h): Services to community in TEQIP (1) Water analysis, treatment and management (Coordinator - Dr. A Dey, Biotechnology) Department of Biotechnology has undertaken a project on Water Analysis under TEQIP Community Service where B.Tech (Biotechnology) Final Year students (6 Nos.) were involved in sample collection and analysis of water samples Different parameters of water samples were analysed in terms of pH, chlorides, total hardness, total solids, COD. Qualitative and Quantitative analysis of water samples involving Total coliform and Faecal coliform were done. Multiple-tube fermentation techniques for determination of MPN index were also undertaken for different water samples. Determination of pathogenic bacteria Staphlyococcus typhi and Streptococcus species were also done.

118

(2) Food safety analysis in Durgapur region (Coordinator - Dr. K Aikat, Biotechnology) The major objective of the project was to determine the microbial contaminants in food materials available in these sources in both qualitative and quantitative terms. For execution of the project, samples were collected from various points in Durgapur. These were then subjected to the tests for total microbial count by the standard plate count and for detection of coliforms by means of the MPN test and the confirmatory test as per Bureau of Indian Standards norms. (3) Assessment of microbial community in arsenic contaminated groundwater of West Bengal: development of possible bioremediation strategies to combat the worst human health threat in drinking water (Coordinator - Dr. Sufia K Kazy, Biotechnology) West Bengal is among the worst arsenic contaminated places in the world, severely affecting around 15 million people across twelve districts. Although several biotic and abiotic processes are found to play role in arsenic mobility, microbial process of arsenic mobilization has received considerable recent attention as the dominant mechanism for groundwater arsenic contamination. Arsenic contaminated as well as non-contaminated soil and water samples were collected from subsurface environments. Bacterial community structure in subsurface environment was deciphered using culture-independent and culture-dependent molecular techniques including cloning of ribosomal RNA gene PCR amplified from metagenome, amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), DNA sequencing of dominant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and subsequent bioinformatics analysis. This data help us to explore the possible microbial role in arsenic transformation and mobilization in contaminated groundwater. (4) Utilization of waste materials (Coordinator – P. Saha, Biotechnology) Wasted flowers can be used as floral dye for dying of textile fibre like cotton, silk etc or for making colourful powder used as Abir, and rest of the petals can be used as biofertilizers. For the project work mainly Marigold, China rose, Flame of the forest were used for extraction of colour and use it in Textile fibre. Marigold and China rose were collected from local market and Flame of the forest was collected from the campus of NIT Durgapur. Six students of 2nd year Biotechnology department were involved for doing the project work. The technology was first developed in laboratory and on March 22, 2009 it was delivered to the self help group people from different district of West Bengal the centre of Moromi (a Human Resource Development group) at Konnagar, Hooghly. (5) Production of biofertilizer by using industrial wastewater and distribution to the local farmers (Coordinator – T. Mandal, Chemical Engineering) To develop a low cost technology for biofertilizer production from waste materials. This can reduce the release of waste to environment, on the other hand it will also help to keep intact the soil fertility and reduction of crop/vegetables production cost. (6) Energy assessment and energy education in Durgapur municipality area (Coordinator – Dr. S. Paruya, Chemical Engineering)

• Energy education camp • Training on Energy saving • Energy Assessment of DMC Pumping stations

The project was undertaken with the motivation that energy conservation and efficient use of energy have been considered to be the continuous process of saving the huge amount of energy. The objectives of the project were two folds – (i) examining the energy efficiency of the municipal pumping station and conduction training program for the operators on securing the efficient use of energy and (ii) energy education camp at various locations of the municipality (City Center, Benachity, etc.) to arouse public awareness on efficient energy use. The students of Chemical Engineering Department have showed enthusiasm in participating in the energy campaign at Benachity and City Centre, Durgapur, which they interacted with common people on minimizing domestic and corporate use of energy. A training program on Energy Saving has been organized for Operators of DMC pumping station, who interacted with the experts in the field.

(7) Systematic water pollution survey of river Damodar around Durgapur – Asansol industrial complex and its impact on domestic water supply (Coordinator - Dr. S. Dutta, Chemical Engineering)

To assess the water pollution problem caused by the pollution of River Damodar, samples of tap water were collected at different points depending on the supplying agency like DMC (Durgapur Municipal Corporation), DPL (Durgapur Projects Limited) and DSP (Durgapur Steel Plant). From the analysis reports of tap water done in premonsoon session and postmonsoon session, it has been observed that the water supplied by DSP is most polluted in nature which needs to be rectified immediately. Special care should be taken for the water supplied by DSP as this water is

119

being used by a large number of people at the DSP Township at Durgapur. Even main hospital uses the water supplied by DSP. Better quality water has been supplied by both DPL and DMC. Though the result obtained at post monsoon session for the water supplied by DPL shows the presence moderate amount of Coliforms in water, it may be due to the local effect as the sample was collected from a water tank and the tank may not be cleaned for a long time. Therefore, it requires a cleaning operation. Water of Nunia Khal is being polluted with lead. The source of lead is probably industrial wastes of Asansol and Ranigange. At the confluence of Nunia Khal and River Damodar, the concentration of lead is still beyond the acceptable limit. It pollutes water of River Damodar to a great extent. Proper care should be taken for that as the source of domestic water supply by different agency is River Damodar. In terms of the following parameters Colour, Odour, pH value, Suspended solids and TDS, Temperature, Oil and grease, Total residual chlorine, Ammonical nitrogen (as N.), Biochemical oxygen demand (3 days at 270C)Chemical oxygen demand, Arsenic (as As), Mercury (As Hg), Cadmium (as Cd), Hexavalent chro- mium (as Cr. +6), Cyanide (as CN)Dissolved phosphates (as P), Phenolic compounds (as C6H5OH), Nitrate Nitrogen, Total Coliform, Faecal coliform, E. coli, DO, Turbidity, Hardness etc. the water of River Damodar has been found to be in safe limit. (8) Topographical survey in an adibasi village Kathguria (Dr. D. K. Singha Roy, Dr. P.P. Dey, S. Karmakar, P. Biswas and A. Saha, Civil Engineering) Department of Civil Engineering undertook a topographical survey in an Adibasi village Kathguria from 6th to 8th March, 2009 under the community development programme of TEQIP. Most importantly, 4th and 6th semesters students were directly involved in the field work covering the village area. In the topographical survey a land map is prepared covering the existing infrastructures and various objects including the contour levels. This map is to be used to locate and re-align the natural drainage system of the village and the rain water may be drained off through such re-aligned natural drainage which may be collected to the community pond for dry season harvesting. In addition, the existing road network may be realigned and elevated in accordance with the high flood level of water observed during heavy rain fall. The same may be utilized by various local /govt. agencies for effective upgradation and betterment of living quality of the adjoining community.

(9) Workshop for construction workers (Dr. D. K. Singha Roy, Dr. A. K. Banik, A. K. Samanta and D. Das, Civil Engineering) conducted a one-day workshop for construction workers on 22.03.2009 to train them with the importance and significance of standard construction practice to be followed in the field. They have been demonstrated the actual provision of reinforcement detailing in beams, columns, lap splicing/development length, beam-column junctions, column foundations through the reinforcement cage model in the PG Laboratory. A total 43 nos. of construction workers have been trained successfully in the said workshop so that they can actually take care of the respective situation while involved with the field work related to relevant construction practice/organization. Through this workshop, an attempt was made to enhance their effective skill /understanding leading to availability of better community service in the construction of various projects in the adjoining area in future. (10) Study of unfiltered and filtered water supply system in Kolkata metropolitan area (Dr. N. R. Samal and Dr. S. Bhattacharya, Civil Engineering) (11) Study of solid waste management in Durgapur municipal area (Dr. N. R. Samal and Dr. S. Bhattacharya, Civil Engineering) (12) Implementation and feasibility study of a low cost water treatment plant in a water scarce area (Dr. N. R. Samal and Dr. S. Bhattacharya, Civil Engineering) (13) Study of groundwater quality and land pollution in the site nearby outfall no 5 of M/s DSP-SAIL (Civil Engineering) (14) Micro watershed development - an approach to mitigate water crisis in some part of Durgapur-Faridpur block of Durgapur subdivision (Coordinator – Dr. A. Gangopadhyay, Geology) Department of Geology has carried out this project under Services to community of TEQIP. Valuable suggestions have been put forward regarding bore hole locations, suitable locations and methods for rainwater harvesting, etc. to mitigate the acute water crisis in the villages of Jabarpally, Bonsol, Hetedoba, Bansgora, Ichhapur and Sorpi in Durgapur subdivision and would immensely benefit more than 15000 people residing in these areas, if implemented properly. A large number of students of Civil Engineering Department and research scholars of Geology department have actively taken part along with the faculties in the detailed field study and laboratory analyses to make this project a success.
