HNIMR, seeing the need for this knowledge to be known, decided to take an initiative in the form of this project which, by trying to reduce climate change, also educated the students on this subject which will be very important in their future.
Academic Bank Credit (ABC)
The choice-based credit system (CBCS) was implemented by the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) in 2019. The Institution being affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University follows the syllabus as defined by the University. Hence, the Institute cannot register for the Academic Bank Credits (ABC) on National Academic Depository (NAD). SPPU has instructed the affiliated colleges to create an ABC id for students by registering at http://abc.gov.in/ to store the academic credits earned by students from HEIs digitally. This allows students to choose their own learning routes to obtain a degree/diploma/certificate in a context with various entry and exit points as well as learning at any-time, anywhere, and at any level. Students have now registered with ABC id. The students are encouraged to join various courses given by recognised institutes to obtain credits.
Apart from the regular syllabus as prescribed by the university, the institute focuses on imparting content beyond the syllabus, wherein, the faculty members design the Add – On Programmes and Certificate Courses that are delivered to the contents with the current and relevant pedagogical approaches. They design con-current evaluation approaches to evaluate the knowledge imparted to the students. The faculty members are also involved in framing the syllabus of various courses for the affiliated University.
The Institution proposes to execute additional online courses apart from the SPPU syllabus, wherein students are given credits for the same. As mentioned above, the Institution designs contents that are over and above the syllabus by way of Certificate Courses related to skill upgradation. Such Online Courses eg. Advanced Excel, etc. were delivered to the students and academic credit were given for the same.
The Institution has also initiated the process of Internationalization of education by entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Opole University of Technology, Poland and Gori University, Georgia and organized an International Conference in association with them. The Institution proposes to create joint degree courses to enable credit transfer in association with the International University.
