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.

With the last new moon on April 11, the moon will appear half-lit in the evening sky on April 17 as it follows the sun towards the western horizon. If you observe around 5pm, you will notice a small tiny shining dot very close to the Moon. This is Mars, the red planet. Within a few minutes, the red planet will disappear all of a sudden and appear nowhere in the sky. This is the Lunar occultation of Mars which will be visible for the people of India only.  The moon moves across the sky each night. Being close to the earth, it covers half a degree width in the sky. On this path, there are rare occasions when the moon passes in front of a star and cause occultation which is like a total solar eclipse when the moon covers the object completely and the object disappears for 1-1/2-hours as the moon makes its way across the sky. We see stars appearing to pass behind the moon, disappearing on one and reappearing on the other.  All planets in our solar system move around the Sun in alm...
