2. INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL (IDP)

 ( Implementation Period : April 2017- March 2020 )

2.1 Executive Summary of the IDP.

College of Engineering and Technology (CET), Bhubaneswar was established by the Government
of Odissa in 1981 in the State capital as a constituent college of Orissa University of Agriculture and
Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar to meet the growing technical man power need of the State.
Consequent upon the formation of a State Technical University of Odisha in the name of Biju
Pattnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Odisha at Rourkela, the establishment of CET was transferred
to the administrative control of BPUT. Odisha as a prime constituent college with effect from
09.07.2002 as per section-37(1) of BPUT Act, 2002. Since its inception with three branches of engineering
in the year 1981-82, it has now grown with 11 Departments of Engineering & Technology conducting 11
UG programmes and 25 PG programmes in Engineering & Technology, Architecture and Town
Planning. In addition CET is also conducting 2 years M.Sc. and 5 years integrated M.Sc. programmes in
Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry and Mathematics & Computing. The intake of the college has now
enhanced to 1306. With the qualified and dedicated group of faculty members, staff and talented students,
this college could be able to excel in achieving success in terms of academic, industrial placement and
ventures to develop entrepreneur in State and National level. College has improved to a level of fairly
good infrastructure facilities like Laboratories equipped with new equipments, updated library facility,
campus networking having high speed campus WI-FI (1Gbps) connection, etc. with the financial
assistance under TEQIP II and State Govt. However, it still needs some improvement for academic
excellence, scaling up the R&D activities, enhancing Industry Institute Interaction, consultancy, etc. such
as:
 Improvement in teaching, learning and training facilities
 Continuous knowledge up gradation of faculty members and staff
 Strengthening of laboratories with more sophisticated equipment
 Strengthening the alumni network
 Setting of centre of excellence
 Setting of central facilities for inter disciplinary research activities
 Strengthening of existing PG and Ph.D. programme
 Collaboration with Industry for exposing students to solve industrial problems and need based
research projects
 Augmenting internal revenue generation through consultancy activities and research projects
 Collaborating with Institutes of National and International repute
 Enhancing Institutional system management , effectiveness and efficiencies
 Providing support to socially disadvantaged and academically weak students
  Providing support to students for GATE coaching, GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, soft skill development,
hands-on training, EDP training, etc.

 Establishing some start - ups for students and staff benefits.

In view of above aspects, Institutional Development Proposal (IDP) of College of Engineering and
Technology, Bhubaneswar is prepared based on feedback from different departments of the
institution. The methodology consists of a detailed departmental level SWOT Analysis in view of
learning outcomes and employability of graduates. Detailed Action Plan is prepared and summarized
here combining Department level Development Plans and their requirements quantified as per their
weakness, research and development, training need analysis and consultancies, etc. taking into
account actual existing information. Emphasis is put on Central Library, Centre of Excellence and
Central Facility as some of the major expenditure apart from laboratory equipments. Major
weaknesses are advance level equipment, full-fledge faculty/staff training system and organized
finishing schools.

SWOT analysis:

STRENGTHS

 The third technical institution of Odisha having more than 36 yrs of excellence in technical education
and research.
 Adequate infrastructure spread over 100 acres of land in terms of laboratory, class rooms, smart class
rooms and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) under TEQIP II, library, administrative area, student
activity area and residential area for student, faculty and other staff.
 Availability of required no. of laboratories and important equipment/ instruments required for traditional
engineering under TEQIP II and State Technological Lab. Fund.

 Insufficient hostel, staff quarters, library building and auditorium.

OPPORTUNITY

 Being in the capital city of the state the college is well connected by Road/ Rail/ Air, which allows
creating growth opportunities in form of industry-institute interaction and potential for research and
consultancy.
 Vicinity of national academic institutes like IIT, IIIT, NISER, Institute of Physics, IMMT, OUAT, NITTTR
etc. offers scope for academic collaboration.
 Existence of the college within the hub of technical education creates opportunities for faculty and
students to have better interaction and creative competition with counterparts in the form of seminars/
quizzes/ robocoms for technical growth.
 The institute is surrounded by number of industries such as INFOSYS, SATYAM, WIPRO, TCS,
STPI, OCAC, NALCO, NTPC, CIL, EMAMI, a number of steel and power industries and organizations
like CTTC, CIPET, CIFA, ILS, thus posing opportunities for technical collaborations.
 Future expansion may be easier and possible due to availability of free govt. land in the periphery.

THREAT
 Inadequate funding for rapid and successful growth. The grant-in-aid provided by the State
Government is insufficient for growth of infrastructure and other amenities.
 Delayed due promotion of faculty members and staff, demotivates them to work in good spirit.
 Pending Autonomous status at UGC .
