Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format provided in the manual.

BIITM has carved out a niche for providing quality education in Management discipline through MBA & IMBA programmes. We have created social and economic impact by serving young aspirants, and society beyond campus. This has been possible due to leadership’s commitment and seamless efforts of all the stakeholders. The commitment of institute to provide value-based Education has created remarkable results at the University level and in corporate arena while also focusing on its contribution to society through its students and employees. The two best practices that have catapulted the Institute to its present reputation are as follows.

1st Practice

Total Quality Education for creating successful corporate professionals.

• To nurture the students and equip them with knowledge, attitude and skills to develop business acumen and leadership qualities sought by industry.
• To make the students ready to serve by imbibing corporate values through collaboration and linkages.
• To create unique image of BIITM in the domain of Management education at national level by aligning the Institute with the industry’s and society’s requirements and serving relentlessly with sincerity and commitment.

Our plans, processes and practices address the needs of country’s higher education as well as fulfill the requirements of industry, particularly in the scenario of rapidly changing industry ecosystem. While recruiters are emphasize practical skills along with knowledge and attitude, BIITM keeps on delivering quality education and bridging the gap between academia and industry

Both of our Management programmes are well-structured and undergo modifications as per requirement of industry. The Institute plans academic delivery in advance in consultation with affiliating University and the internal team. Student, faculty and staff develop clarity about vision and mission of the Institute. The seamless approach of different hierarchical positions also smoothens the process. The practice reinforces zero tolerance regarding deviations from plans while delivering service to its stake holders. The guidelines and policies are followed in true-spirit in order to instill right knowledge, skills and attitude in students. The mentoring system is one of our major strengths which strings the students and faculty as pearls in a garland. The micro and macro-level of performance analysis is also one of our USP. The feedback system of the institute makes the teaching effective and result-driven. Students are exposed to learning through experiential teaching, Add-on programme and SIP. Students’ creativity and innovativeness are nurtured by a cell of institute known as BIIT-MIC. The academic activities of the institute are reviewed every month in Review Meeting, and based on this action is initiated.

Students performed well as evident from the award of four Gold medals in MBA during four consecutive academic years and one more in 2016. Due to consistent effort and hard work of all and stellar performance of students in exam and industry ready Programms, BIITM maintains an unparalleled track record of placement. Placement of students has been a major strength of institute. Post-graduates consistently report earning more than their educational investment, underscoring programs exceptional value proposition.

With the growth of Institute in terms of admission and reputation, it needs more space. The leadership identified the same as a constraint, and has already started developing physical infrastructure to address the programme as soon as possible. Time is one of the major construct in the 2-year MBA Programme as we deliver additional content to students in time-frame of Academic Calendar. The added infrastructure on completion will also provide wider avenues to co-curricular and extra- curricular activities.

Over the years, Institute has been doing well in teaching & placement. It needs to look forward to serving students better with the adoption of advanced technology and focusing more on instilling value-based education. This will ultimately create a better HR base for nation.

2nd Practice

Serving Environment and society beyond the campus

• To create Clean and Green campus and environment with involvement of stake holders
• To sensitize and create awareness about global warming and neutralization of carbon foot-print through various initiatives.
• To instil the concept of ‘Art of Giving’ and the spirit of giving back to society in students to serve during their studentship and career.
• To preserve the environment without further degradation.

In true spirit, BIITM not only excels in the field of curricular input, but also quite impactful in its social engagement for nurturing the environment with societal concern. It engages students and staff in making contribution to society through environmental protection.

Institute strategizes in beginning through its Annual Calendar to focus on society and environment throughout the year. It constitutes committees of students & staff to plan and execute such drives from time to time with least deviation from academic pursuits. It collaborates with various organizations towards upliftment of society and environmental protection. To name a few, NSS, Young-India and Switch-On-foundation are in close collaboration with Institute. Institute also has its clubs representing various domains and organizes cleaning programmes, Blood-Donation Camps, Gender-Equity Programmes and Environment Conservation events. The Institutes’ social responsibility extends to Child Care to Wellness campaigns to ensure ‘Health for All’.

BIITM has widened its success in the areas of environmental and social development. Institute’s efforts for bringing improvement in areas such as cleanliness, environmental conservation and public health have been noteworthy. Organizations like NSS have appreciated our efforts. In addition, the Institute has received recognition from IIT-BBSR for G-20 participation during Third Education-Environment Summit, held in April-2023.

Outreach programmes, whether initiated by us or jointly with others, have been experiencing success on continual basis. However, we have encountered lack of adequate time in 2-year MBA programme for more co-curricular activities. Another challenge arises out of non-cooperative attitude of local people about environment protection and societal safety (Example- Restricting cattle movement and occupation of the road opposed by the villagers).

The leadership of institute have initiated sincere efforts to inculcate a sense of service to society and a sense of concern for environment from Day-1 of Induction Programme.
