Curriculum Delivery

Chennai Institute of Technology ( CIT) is affiliated to Anna University, Chennai, Tamilnadu and follows the curriculum and syllabus framed for affiliated colleges. In order to ensure the effective curriculum delivery, CIT adopts its unique innovative methods and systematic strategies. The three phases of our systematic strategy comprises of Planning, Development & Implementation and Evaluation. It is shown in fig 1.1.

During Planning phase, all departments submit the faculty requirement request, if any, to Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). IQAC collects the request and also verifies the infrastructure availability for smooth functioning of the forthcoming semester. Based on University academic schedule, College  academic calendar of events comprising the reopening date, Internal Assessments date and the syllabus coverage of Internal Assessment and completion date for each unit is framed before the commencement of the semester.

During Development phase, elective subjects are finalized and subject willingness of the faculty members is collected. Based on the competence level of the faculty, subject allocation is done. The curriculum delivery includes traditional teaching, collaborative learning, self-learning, competition based learning and supportive learning methods.

  • Traditional teaching methods: It includes preparation of  detailed  lesson plans, question bank, lab manuals,  lecture notes,  tutorial and assignments and content beyond syllabus based on the feedback  from industry, alumni and previous year academic performance of the students.
