IDP/UDP/Student Project work, Start-up & Problem Solving to fetch points
Ahmedabad: Gujarat Technological University (GTU) is planning to bring outcome-based benchmarking system for affiliated colleges and award for best colleges. Social or Industrial Problem Solving, Start-ups, innovation etc. will bring required points in the upcoming system.
Under the guidance of Prof. (Dr) Navin Sheth, Vice Chancellor, GTU has prepared the unique scheme. Each college can make a report and submit with necessary support proofs for the claims made about efforts of respective college on or before 15th July 2017. An Expert committee at University level will go through all such reports and benchmark the best colleges/institutes/campuses and appreciate them with special award in a suitable occasion at state level. The report which colleges will submit should be based on the efforts undertaken for IDP/UDP/Student Project work for the academic year 2016-17. Later on every academic year such award will be given away after benchmarking each cycle of efforts in this field to acknowledge good efforts at colleges and benchmark efforts at state level involving similar indicators and efforts, Bipin J. Bhatt, Registrar of GTU said.
Best performing campuses/colleges will also be given additional support from GTU Innovation Council to achieve concrete results in this direction. Not necessarily every college will score high under every indicator to start with, but the intent of this initiative is to also help in giving a direction to innovation ecosystem efforts at every campus through policy and action support so that in days to come each of the GTU affiliated campus will become hub of creativity, innovation and enterprises through strategic interventions, Hiranmay Mahanta, Director of GTU Innovation Council said.Outcome-based performance that will bring pointsPatent filed based on IDP/UDP/Student Project work and having at least copy of provisional filing based on novel project work.

( mention about your support system covering stages like , linking with right kind of challenges with students, support at ideation and prototyping stage, IPR support and mentoring facilities etc)Dedicated fund allocation by college or through grants to support best IDP/UDP/Student project in prototyping and similar needs. College should submit a letter of proof for the same. Minimum 5 lac support year marked by college in its budget or fetching grants from others and linking with students for their project/innovation work.Exposure to best IDP/UDP/Student Project by college like supporting them to participate and showcase the work in expo, exhibitions, similar platforms at state, national level which eventually benefit student innovation.Significant new outcome in research frontier through fundamental research while doing IDP/UDP/student project work. The outcome should have been validated by suitable competent expert/authority.Successfully arranged Student Innovation exhibition covering IDP/UDP/student project work, review them with visit of external experts/industry mentors (Minimum 3 external industry experts per branch), give feedback to improve each project and track them min of 3 months, linking them with further industry experts, awarding best teams, providing exposure to penultimate year students in 3rd year or similar annual efforts.Having allocated dedicated fulltime competent Human Resource to facilitate IDP/UDP/Student Project work and allied support in your college/campus for Innovation,IPR, Start-up efforts. Attach their details.Having thoroughly implemented IDP/UDP/Project cycle as directed by GTU with mentoring and capacity building programs for all final year students in areas like, Industrial Shodh Yatra, PSAR, PDE, BMC and other tools. Attach proof of such workshops/programs with student feedbacks and similar report.Systematic effort by college to help students for selecting real life challenges, problem statements, facilitation for Summer Industrial Shodh Yatra to link students with potential SMEs and other users to define projects, ensure capable teams try to solve real issues and develop solution for end user, implement design thinking and similar pedagogic tools to help students become better problem solver.Collaboration: Institute doing formal collaboration with (Industry clusters for Industrial Shodh Yatra, Industry for supporting IDP/UDP, Designers/fabricators/Experts apart from academia for Proof of concept design, prototyping support, R&D organisation/testing center etc for further support to convert student projects to innovative solutions etc.)Post final year project examination support System creation by institute to take forward selected projects/IDP/UDP/proposed solutions to next stage so that few projects reach to impact stage, help in IPR Protection of novel works, Product design support for potential projects etc. Colleges should share a report on what they are doing to achieve the mentioned if they claim in this category.
સ્ટાર્ટ અપ અને ઈનોવેશન સહિતની ઉત્કૃષ્ટ કામગીરી કરતી સંસ્થાઓને જીટીયુ શ્રેષ્ઠ કૉલેજનો એવોર્ડ આપશે
જીટીયુમાં પહેલીવાર કૉલેજોની શૈક્ષણિક અને અન્ય કામગીરી મૂલ્યાંકનની વ્યવસ્થા ઘડાશેઃ ઉદ્યોગજગત અને સમાજની સમસ્યાઓને હલ કરનાર કૉલેજોને વિશેષ રેંકીંગ પ્રાપ્ત થશે
અમદાવાદઃ ગુજરાત ટેકનોલોજીકલ યુનિવર્સિટી (જીટીયુ) સૌપ્રથમવાર કૉલેજોની શૈક્ષણિક અને અન્ય કામગીરીની મૂલ્યાંકન વ્યવસ્થા નક્કી કરી રહી છે, જેના ભાગરૂપે શૈક્ષણિક કાર્ય ઉપરાંત સ્ટાર્ટ અપ અને ઈનોવેશન સહિતની તમામ પ્રકારની ઉત્કૃષ્ટ કામગીરી બજાવનાર સંસ્થાઓને શ્રેષ્ઠ કૉલેજોનો એવોર્ડ પણ આપવામાં આવશે.
જીટીયુના વાઈસ ચાન્સેલર પ્રો.
