UGC grants fresh autonomous status to SJEC

-

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has granted autonomy to St Joseph Engineering College (SJEC), Mangaluru from the academic year 2021-22. SJEC has been conferred fresh autonomous status under the UGC scheme for autonomous colleges 2018 in response to its application of November 2019. Recently, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, notified autonomy for nine years starting from the academic year 2021-22. 

The staff of SJEC Display Letter From UGC Granting It Fresh Autonomous Status
The UGC expert team had visited the college on November 28-29, 2020 and rigorously assessed the college on multiple parameters. The fact that only a handful of engineering colleges in the state have attained autonomous status, adds to the credibility of SJEC that has been on a constant upswing. As the college steps into the twentieth year of its existence, it remains committed to offering quality education to all its students leveraging autonomy to design a curriculum that is more industry-oriented. 

True to its motto of “Service and Excellence”, the hard work put in by the college has resulted in getting this recognition which has endorsed the academic framework and policies that the college has been practising since its inception. Autonomy will make it convenient for the college to design curricula by recognizing the needs of the industry, offer elective courses of choice, collaborate rigorously with foreign universities and conduct the continuous assessment of its students. 

An ATV Built By Students Of SJEC Holds Testimony To Outcome Based Education Imparted
The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) practised at the college has led to the college being accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for four of its BE Programs. In February 2021, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) awarded SJEC with the prestigious A+ grade. The college is completing 19 years of its existence and currently has more than 2500 students on campus and the conferring of fresh autonomous status is a feather in its cap. 

This clean, green and smart campus has become the destination of choice for engineering seat aspirants in the coastal region. The candidates are attracted to the good infrastructure, academic ambience, discipline on campus, excellent placements, incubation facilities, support for entrepreneurship and innovation, competent faculty, and encouragement given to technical, cultural and sports activities, noted Rio D’Souza, Principal of SJEC and Rev Fr Wilfred Prakash D’Souza, the director.

This would make it 3rd consecutive year of normal or above-normal monsoon. Now, Skymet has released its monsoon onset date for 2021. Skymet expects the onset to be around the normal date. Based on the data from 1961-2019, the normal date of onset over the Indian mainland is june 1 with a standard deviation of one week.  The onset of Southwest Monsoon over Kerala is largely influenced by the oceanic conditions, both in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.
