The University also has a dedicated gymnasium along with outdoor and indoor sports facilities.
Institutional Weakness
Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur is a state University governed by U.P. State Universities Act -
Institutional Opportunity
Kanpur is the biggest city of the state and is the main center of commercial and industrial activities. Formerly it was known as the Manchester of India. Now it is the commercial capital of Uttar Pradesh. HBTU, Kanpur formerly known as HBTI is an institute with more than 100 years of legacy and has seen the ups and downs of the city. The University strives to revive the lost glory of the city in terms of business avenues. Further, the presence of industries in nearby areas has given an opportunity to the faculty members and students to work on
Curricular Aspects
HBTU, Kanpur caters to the needs of industry and the society by continuously updating its curriculum in order to keep pace with rapid changes in the technology. The aim of the Curriculum Design and Development is to fulfill local, national, regional and global developmental needs. Program Outcomes (POs), Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) and Course Outcomes (COs) of each course is meticulously stated and they are aligned to the vision and mission of the University. Proposed program curriculum is thoroughly discussed in the meeting of Board of Studies (BoS) of the Department comprising of all faculty members, external domain experts and the representatives of the alumni / students. Finally, this program curriculum is sent to the Academic Council of the University for approval. While revising the program curriculum, focus on employability / entrepreneurship / skill development of the students is given due importance. The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) / Elective Course System was introduced in the erstwhile Institute to allow students to choose courses from a basket of courses as per his / her choice and requirements. This basket is not limited to the courses listed in the syllabus whereas the students are free to choose courses from open online platforms such as NPTEL, MOOCs etc. after due approval from competent authority. Courses on professional ethics, human values and environment are included in each program to inculcate professional traits at work place. Due weightage is accorded to the field projects / research projects / internships and value added courses for imparting knowledge, skill and real life problem solving ability.
One of the Mission statements of the University reads ‘serving people, society and nation with utmost professionalism, values and ethics to make development sustainable and quality of life.’ This in itself is indicator that the University values very highly on cross cutting issues relevant to professional ethics, values and gender issues. All B.Tech. students are offered few audit courses namely Indian Constitution, Environment and Ecology and Cyber Security to address cross cutting issues relevant to professional ethics, gender, human values, environment and sustainability in curriculum.
A feedback mechanism has been devised to include the views of all the stakeholders (students, teachers, employers, alumni etc.) on curriculum design and development. This feedback is analyzed and appropriate action is taken to improve the syllabus. All the inputs are put before the BoS and semester wise course structure, evaluation scheme, Lecture-Tutorial-Practical (L-T-P) credits and syllabi of courses of a program are finalized after due deliberations.
Teaching-learning and Evaluation
HBTU Kanpur has a privilege to cater students from diverse socio-cultural-economic backgrounds. The University provides Quality education at a reasonable fee structure along with ample opportunities for scholarships. Therefore, students from affluent as well as economically weaker backgrounds from both rural and urban outlook are naturally attracted to get higher technical education. A good number of students are in fact the first generation learner in their family.
The University assesses the learning level of the students after admission at various stages and organizes special activities and courses for slow and advanced learners. The University believes that every student has a different learning ability due to their diverse background.
The academic module for various programmes in HBTU is tailored to give a holistic learning experience to the students. Innovative teaching-learning strategies are employed that encourage students to participate and contribute to the learning experience of their peers. Some of the innovative techniques adopted by the faculty
members towards student centric learning are Group/Collaborative class room activities, Flipped Class Room, Online Class Room Quizzes, experiment/ project based learning. Emphasis is given to Outcome-Based Education where a student achieves a goal by the end of the programme.
Faculty members are encouraged to organize and participate in various refresher programs to enhance their knowledge and skills, to prepare them for the role of motivator and guides both within and outside the classroom, to help students achieve their post-education goals. Teachers make use of ICT enabled tools including online resources for effective teaching and learning processes along with the conventional ‘chalk and duster’ method as both are complimentary to each other and having their own strengths and weaknesses. University has adequate number of Smart Classrooms and also facility for creating online learning resources.
Office of Controller of Examination (CoE) at the University understands its responsibility to make continuous improvement in evaluation system. The Office of CoE has fully integrated IT in the management of Examination System i.e., filling of Examination form, marks entry for mid semester / end semester, result preparation, result display, result correction and result analysis. Examination Management System is the part of ERP System and fully integrated with other subsystems of ERP. Final academic records of students are being published on DigiLocker - National Academic Depository for hassle free verification by employers.
Programme Outcome, Programme Specific Outcomes and Course Outcomes are well defined for each Programme run by the University. Question Papers are set as per Bloom’s Taxonomy and due consideration is given for Course Outcomes. Result analysis is made based on attainment of Course outcome and Programme outcome. Provision of showing evaluated answer scripts ensure that student grievance is very less.
Research, Innovations and Extension
University is committed to serve the society by achieving excellence in higher technical education, research, innovation, extension works in Engineering, Technology, Science and Management. To achieve its mission, the University provides planned financial, technological and infrastructural support to faculty members and students in order to meet the challenges of advances in research, innovation and extension.
