 Chancellor’s Message
It gives me great pleasure to note that the University has entered its
fourth academic year after successfully completing the first three
years. The University was launched with the intention of embracing
global educational practices into our existing higher education system
to bring it on par with the higher education system that is in vogue in
developed countries. Initially, I was rather skeptical about the
acceptance of the system of education that had been designed by our
faculty members who had gained several years of experience in
imparting education using the practices adopted in developed
countries particularly in Europe.

I would like to convey my thanks to our students and their parents for
wholeheartedly embracing the new system. At the end of the each
academic year I have witnessed the positive energy amongst the students, parents and staff and, on enquiry,
students have expressed their opinion that although the system demands enormous efforts the learning experience
made it worthwhile.

In India, IITs are known for engineering and technology education, IIMs are known for management education,
NIPER is known for pharmacy education, AIIMS is known for medical education and NID is known for design
education. It is my dream that we at Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences should replicate the combined
characteristics of all these institutes and achieve this status of excellence in due course. I am confident that this
challenge will be accepted and fulfilled by the members of faculty at the University and its administrators.
Collectively, we are aiming to develop a great institution that our nation can feel proud of while serving the
generations of the future and focusing on developing global citizens.

I wish great success to all the members of the University in their endeavor to achieve excellence in higher education.

 Welcome from the
Vice Chancellor
We have just completed three academic years, the first batch of postgraduates
have left the portals of the University. It is nothing wrong to say that Ramaiah
University has pioneered Student Centric Outcome Based Education in India. It
was indeed a challenging task to familiarize the members of faculty, staff and
students and to gain acceptance for Student Centric Outcome Based Education - a
revolutionary, teaching & learning system. Initially, it was a daunting task to make
faculty members unlearn older concepts and learn new concepts of teaching and
assessing. Students, for a long time, kept comparing their efforts with their
counterparts in other universities and often expressed difficulty in coping with
the new system. However, without getting disheartened, we at the University persuaded the faculty members and
students on the benefits of the new system often inspiring them with many motivational talks and helping them
through training. All these efforts seem to have paid off when we saw a large number of blogs appearing in the
digital media, written by our own students, analyzing the visible benefits they were deriving from this new method
of teaching and learning with frequent comparisons to the learning experience of their peers studying in the best
universities abroad.

With a sense of great satisfaction I am pleased to report that the University has obtained 2(f) status from UGC and
has been ranked, by NIRF-MHRD, as the 90th best University in the Country. Recently, K-SURF (Karnataka State
University Rating Framework) rated the University as a Four Star University and the best Innovation University in
the State of Karnataka. In addition, leading educational and news magazines have ranked the University as the
best emerging Research and Innovation University. There are more than 350 faculty members of which more than
100 members are Ph.D. degree holders. We have a further 300 Technical and Administrative staff supporting the
University's operations.

University Faculty members have, during the last academic year, published more than 325 research articles in
Scopus indexed journals; organized more than 12 seminars and workshops; and filed for more than 25 patents.
The Techno Centre has completed more than 50 consultancy projects for industry and businesses while the
Research division has attracted reasonable amount of research funds. Our Directorate of Training and Lifelong
Learning has trained more than 2000 delegates in various technology areas and in higher education practices.
Faculty members and students have provided various community services like patient care and participated in our
“Service to Society” programme completing a number of activities for the benefit of the communities spread
across the state. Our Technology Incubation and Entrepreneurship Cell is incubating more than 15 start-ups with
fund support from MSME. The University will be hosting “Karnataka Aerospace Technology Centre” on its Campus
in Peenya. It has setup Garment Design Centre with the funding from Karnataka Government and shortly it will
inaugurating “Incubation Centers” funded by GoI and GoK.
The University has entered into collaborative relationships with a number of universities from USA, UK, Russia and
other European countries and a number of students and staff exchange programmes have been completed with at
least 25 students and staff members visiting an overseas University. More than 15 student Dream Teams have
been promoted by the University for Students to take part in international competitions. One team is working on a
Micro Satellite while another team is working on Electric Propulsion. Our students have won many national level
competitions and hackathons. This year more than 350 students have completed M. Tech., M. Des., MBA, MHA, M.
Com., M.Sc., M. Pharm., Degrees. At least 5 M.Tech. Projects have achieved the potential for being commercialized
having worked in collaboration with industry and funds from TIFAC. A considerable number of these graduates
have been placed in reputed organizations. The University has created 21 specialist Research Centre to emphasize
on Research in contemporary areas of knowledge. More than 185 scholars are pursuing their PhD. The first
convocation for PG students was held during the month of November 2016.
Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in the laboratories, libraries and other resource centers the University has
created the right environment to provide rich teaching, learning, research and real–life, problem-solving
experience to its students as well as its faculty members. Many of the facilities created can be compared to what is
available at some of the best universities across the globe.

I believe in the statement “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” and we strive to “Ignite
the Minds” for improving the life of the people of the World and India in particular by developing Global Citizens
through our education system.

Credit Based Courses - Bachelor of Vocational Degree Programmes

Bachelor of Vocational Degree Programme (B.Voc) is part of Skill India initiative and UGC's efforts to
promote skill based higher education in India. The B.Voc course with 70% focus on skill development and
30% focus on theoretical knowledge prepares the student for skill sets required for that industry or
entrepreneurial role. The course curriculum is structured such that students will be able to get a job
opportunity at the end of each year.

Passenger Car Repair & Maintenance is a B.Voc., Degree programme with specialization in automotive
repair and maintenance and is designed to train and produce skilled automotive repair and maintenance
workforce to handle the advanced automotive technologies The students are trained as per
requirements of the industry, thus helping them procure jobs with ultimate working satisfaction. As the
course includes managerial subjects and principles, it will be an added advantage to the student to be
able to grow as a technically skilled entrepreneur.
Machine Tool Operation & Maintenance: The Machine Tool industry is moving towards increasingly
sophisticated CNC machines, driven by demand from key user segments, such as, automobiles and
consumer durables, Aerospace etc. While the estimated manpower requirement in this segment in 2017
is said to be close to 20 lakh people, the same is expected to double by 2022. Therefore, skill training of
people in the Machine tool Operation, repair and maintenance is the need of the hour to prepare human
resource for the Machine tool industry. 70%of India's machine tools are produced in Peenya in Bangalore
and therefore, there is close collaboration with industry for the conduct of this course

Culinary Operations: Catering operations have exhibited a phenomenal growth over the last few years
and are a significant contributor to economic growth. They employ millions of people who are driven by

156
passion, creativity and determination. The culinary operations course integrates theoretical, practical
and innovative aspects of food production. Fundamental concepts that progress to advanced techniques
in Food Production operations with emphasis on hygiene, nutrition, work ethics and other ancillary
elements will contribute to the overall career growth of the individual, both as a professional chef and as
an entrepreneur.

Product Design & Modelling: Indian Engineering and Design sector has witnessed a combined growth
rate of about 15 percent touching US$ 26.4 billion over the last year driven by increased national and
global demand for its produce. Many local and international firms have set up R&D and Design centers in
India to develop innovative products and offerings. This course provides the prospective students with a
strong foundation of the art of creating scaled models and prototypes of the concepts envisioned by
prestigious R&D and Design centers in India and abroad.

Garment Manufacturing & Quality Control: The textile industry contributes about 14 percent to
industrial production and four percent to the gross domestic product (GDP). It is second largest industry
in the country in terms of employment generation and world's second-largest producer of textiles and
garments. The industry requires more sewing machine operators and quality controllers. About 30% of
the readymade garments of the country are manufactured in Bangalore. Many of the sewing operator
professionals have become entrepreneurs to enjoy their career and flexi lifestyle. There is tremendous
potential for professionals in sewing operation and quality control, as the market is evergreen, growing
and developing at a fast pace.

Office Administration: The manufacturing and service sector contribute to about 84% of the GDP, which
grew at over 7% and is poised to be one of the largest economies of the world. This growth spurt demands
multiple offices across the country. Needless to say, this entails for a steady supply of efficient and
effective office administrators. B.voc in Office administration is a set of daily activities that include
secretarial services, personal assistance, co-ordination between various functional departments, front
office administration, files and records maintenance, logistics, liaising with external agencies and
coordinating commercial activities within an organization. Training in management, computer
applications, expert use of the internet, and life skills will enhance the effectiveness of a good office
administrator.

Retail Marketing: The size of the India Retail sector, spanning diverse categories across food and non-
food, is estimated to be in excess of 400 billion USD and growing at a healthy pace of more than 15 % per
annum. Regardless of size and structure, all retail organizations are required to engage in a gamut of retail
operations and retail merchandising, retail operations, Retail Marketing and Sales, retail information
technology and systems - all of which require well-trained retail professionals.

Banking & Insurance: The Indian banking sector's assets reached US$ 1.8 trillion in FY15 from US$ 1.3
trillion in FY10. Rising incomes are expected to enhance the need for banking services in rural areas and
therefore drive the growth of the sector; programmes like MNREGA have helped in increasing rural
income aided by the recent Jan Dhan Yojana. The Indian life insurance industry is estimated to grow at a
compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1 per cent, and reach US$ 111.9 billion in 2015 from US$
66.5 billion in 2011, according to a report by BRIC data. This would make India the third-largest market for
life insurance in the world by 2015. The vocational Programme will integrate theoretical, practical and
innovative aspects of Banking and Insurance operations. The Programme is designed to introduce
fundamental concepts and simulate the operations of banking and Insurance.

Accounting & Logistics: To support the rapidly growing industrial sector, logistics as well as accounting
professionals will be critical to enhance their productivity. India is expected to witness unprecedented
growth in the logistics sector to provide end-to-end logistic solutions from manufacturers of goods to the
consumer through organized retailers. As a concomitant role, regardless of size and scale all
organizations are required to keep track of finances, budgets, transactions and maintain all statutory
requirements of accounting records, all of which require accountants. The integration of technology to

157
both accounting and logistics will boost economic growth. Job opportunities exist in warehousing, cold
storage, shipping and ports, freight forwarding and transportation, logistics solutions and supply chain
management companies besides the manufacturing and retailing sectors. The B.Voc is expected to meet
these requirements

Photography & Visual Effects: There is a wide world of photography. People enjoy photography and are
thinking of it as a career, there are actually many different directions one can choose from. One can begin
by creating a resume and portfolio of your work and can be done with proper qualifications for the job.
Video editors use digital editing software to piece raw footage into a cohesive video story. Much of the
editing direction is provided by the director or producer overseeing the project. Video editors also make
sure that audio files match the speech appearing on screen. A video editor spends large amounts of time
in front of several monitors in a closed office environment. The B.Voc provides the requisite training for
various levels of photography and visual effects.

Home Care & Nursing Assistance: India faces an acute shortage of nursing staff with an estimated deficit
of 2 million. In the public sector alone, an additional 140,000 staff nurses are required. Needless to say,
this gets more acute when the patient is recovering at home. With most families, especially in the urban
setting, being nuclear and both partners working, having a small child, or an elderly parent or a relative
recuperating from an illness, either short term or long term calls for a care giver. While the opportunity
for employment for home care is tremendous, an unexplored area is the potential for these graduates to
work as nursing assistants to help tide over the paucity of quality nursing care, a need both in India as well
as the rest of the world. Therefore, the B.Voc degree, addresses this niche area of training for home care
and nursing assistance.

Dental Hospital Assistance: Dental assistants are an important part of the dental health care team and
increase the efficiency of the entire dental health care delivery system. In addition, training on counseling
is seen as an invaluable adjunct tool in the education system, across the community. The education could
be in a clinic, a primary health centre, secondary and tertiary care hospitals and schools. Assistance in a
laboratory is a skill that is valuable both in a lab as well as hospital. It saves both time and effort involved in
using lab support for simple lab procedures. The B.Voc training imparted above happens in a
multidisciplinary environment, delivered effectively through an internship programme.

Post Graduate Certificate in Professional Practice- Dentistry

Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design: Keeping in line with the growing trend of personal aesthetics,
dentistry too has fulfilled the need for a beautiful and healthy smile. As more and more people are
focused on a beautiful smile, demand for dental services to enable this has also been set in motion. In
response, the global dental devices market is slated to reach a whopping $12.9 billion by 2016. Hence the
need of the day is to train graduates and orient them to meet the esthetic trends of society.

Oral Implantology: Globally, edentulism compromises quality of life by reducing masticatory efficiency
and thereby the nutrient value of food consumed. Treatment methodologies to treat edentulism have
evolved over the years with near predictable results. A student of Oral implantology will be exposed to a
wide variety of cases, due to, advanced training facilities including the Advanced Learning Centre and
location and attachment to the 1400 bed hospitals. As rehabilitation of the missing tooth forms a major
portion of private practice, effective training in current and advanced rehabilitative methods is
essential.

User Oriented Post Graduate Courses: The University offers tailor made postgraduate courses in
Engineering, Art & Design, Finance, Management and other Allied Areas to Industries and organisations
interested in their employee development through education by the part time route. The duration of the
course is 3 years and classes are conducted during weekends ie. on Saturdays and Sundays or on days
convenient to the users. The users can opt for regular courses that are offered by RUAS or can opt for
customised courses. The methodology adopted for teaching and learning and credit to be earned for the
award of the degree is same as that of full time courses.

What our Alumni and Visitors Say?

It was a great experience to pursue the course at MSRSAS. The course content as well as the different
approach of evaluation made the course challenging. Unlike traditional method of examinations which
are only theory based and does not really test the practical knowledge, the assignments for the modules
were really challenging and really test the understanding of the concepts.

The entire course has laid in me a strong foundation of concepts in various areas of computers and has
stimulated my way of approaching a problem and finding the solution to it. The course has also enhanced
my discipline and conviction to learn after a long 7 year gap. I am very satisfied with he entire course and I
thank MSRSAS and Coventry for giving me this opportunity to learn and strengthen my knowledge.

Anupama Anand (CSN PT2010)

My Master's program from MSRSAS has broadened my knowledge and opened the horizon in
engineering and management to guide and lead an organization with confidence and zeal.
I have attached my contribution to Volvo Buses India from my learning's taken from MS Ramaiah School
of Advanced Studies. The uniqueness about my project which I have taken has given a reduction of 54% in
process time reduction which is unique by any industrial standard in manufacturing. In other words
productivity improvement can go up to a maximum of 100% since the production can be doubled.
Generally productivity improvements are between 10% to 15%.

Cyril G. Xavier (EMM PT 2010), Chief Operating Officer, Spheros Motherson Thermal Systems
Limited, Noida, India

To complete a three year degree, while working full time is no easy feat. There will be deadlines, to meet
at work, and after a very taxing working week, studying during the weekend, is a tough choice. However,
while I started my Masters in Computer Science and Networking at MSRSAS, I found the topics
interesting.

Working on the assignments and the final year project, was intellectually challenging, and it changed
my outlook towards studying.

The facilities provided by MSRAS were always top notch. Studying and attending lectures were a pleasure
due to the ambience in the study rooms. The course structure, contents and subjects which are part of
Computer Science and Networking where well etched to my needs and my current working experience.
Attending this course has immensely helped me better my day to day work.

Labs and testing are the make or break part of any curriculum. The supportive lab faculties and state of
the art labs made studying more pleasurable, as there is no better way to learn than to get hands-on
experience. For a part time student like me, MSRSAS was a great opportunity to complete my dream of
getting a Master's Degree. Thank You MSRSAS!

Mumshad Muhammed (CSN PT10), EMC2

A visit full of imaginative training and educational methods for practical engineers. I am impressed with
the range and depth of studies undertaken. The model used for training must have greater applicability
throughout engineering training.
