Preamble
Effective Implementation of TEQIP-II was explained in Project Implementation
Plan (PIP) document of TEQIP-II by National Project Implementation Unit (NPIU).
Table19: Permissible and Nonpermissible Expenditure for Government Funded and
Aided Institutions and Private Unaided Participating in SubComponent 1.2: Scalingup
Postgraduate Education, Research & Development and Innovation gave details about
what is permissible and what is not permissible under TEQIP-II under total 19 different
categories (from PIP-Page 109-114) (Appendix-A). Initially it was informed that
expenses are permissible only as per this table and we need approval of State Project
Facilitation Unit (SPFU) and National Project Implementation Unit (NPIU). There was
some confusion because the Expenses (Financial Status & Financial Monitoring Reports,
FMR) and Budget Planning was asked under 9 activities as per Table No.17 (Page 93 of
PIP) Indicative Categorywise Funding for Key Activities per Project Institution Selected
under SubComponent 1.2 (Appendix-A). There was confusion about some activities on
how to match these nine activities from Table 17 with 19 activities given in Table 19.
Also there were some activities which were not covered in both these tables but they
were in accordance with objectives of TEQIP-II.
When all these queries were raised with NPIU in the meeting during September 26
& 27, 2012 at Delhi, it was told that permissible activities given in Table 19 are only
indicatives and each Institute can form its own policies for all the activities except
Procurement and Foreign Visits for which approval from SPFU and NPIU is necessary.
For all other activities Institutes have full freedom and they can follow their own policies.
So to form the policies Fusion of Table 17 and 19 is carried out and given in the Table
A of this document. More than 95% guidelines are kept same as given in PIP. Only
some missing activities are added and some small changes are made. Based on this Table,
detail guidelines are prepared and circulated among all faculty members. Suggestions are
incorporated. Now these policy guidelines will be available with all TEQIP Officials and
it will be also available on Institute website to have transparency in the implementation of
TEQIP-II activities. However, these policies are not hard and fast depending upon
different situation during the implementation TEQIP Project these policies will keep
improving and evolving.
In the meeting at Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli on June 28, 2013 SPFU
announced NPIU decision about giving permission of approval to respective BoG for
Foreign Travel, re-appropriation of Funds, Policy changes, providing seed money for
research proposals, and recruiting temporary faculty in place of faculty gone to other
Institute for qualification up-gradation and showing his salary under Incremental
Operating Cost (IOC) (Appendix-F). All these issues are covered while preparing this
document of Institutes Policies for Effective Implementation of TEQIP Project.

Modernization and Strengthening of Libraries (and increasing access to

knowledge Resources) (40.00 Lakhs)
Modernization and strengthening of libraries and increasing access to knowledge resources:

Libraries, which are part of every institution, promote selflearning and also support the teaching
learning processes. There is a widespread need to keep the libraries open to the maximum extent.
There are institutions where libraries are kept open for 24 hours a day throughout the week.
Modernization of libraries could include conversion to Digital Libraries, which would occupy
lesser space and make space available for other activities. The institutions can also become
member of Indian National Digital Library in Engineering Sciences and Technology Consortium
(INDESTAICTE Consortium). Purchase of books should be through CDs to the extent possible.
Even old books, which are available in CDs, should be located and purchased. There needs to be
a CD Bank with proper identification and accessibility. The library could be reorganized with
adequate computers and connectivity to hostels, Departments through Campuswide Networking.
Subscription to the latest eJournals could be made. The IDP should clearly indicate the actions
that are proposed to be taken for Modernization of Libraries including the cost involved. The
project institutions are required to avail essentially the benefit of the existing Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) scheme of MHRD under National Mission on Education.
Various course specific software, e-books and E journals are considered with priority for the

3 Enhancement of R.& D. and Institutional Consultancy Activities (20.00 Lakhs)

3.a
Enhancement of R.& D. and Consultancy (Rs. 3.00 Lakh)
Securing Sponsored Projects and Consultancy assignments from Industry or R&D

organizations: Sponsored research projects and Consultancy assignments from either industry
or R&D organizations such as ISRO, DRDO, ARAI, BARC-BRNS etc. in the name of faculty
not only adds to the credentials of the concerned member, but also proves beneficial to the
cross disciplinary teams of like-minded and like-domain teachers and included students.
Executing such projects and assignments builds confidence among stakeholders, in addition to
revenue earning and in turn improves quality of education and research. The acquisition of
projects may involve certain incidental costs such as travel expenses of team members towards
visits, hospitality expenses for holding meetings with industry personnel, conducting
literature/reference reviews or field surveys etc. The proposals initiated by the faculty,
endorsed by HoD, channelized through and approved by Dean-R&D, will be financially
enabled by TEQIP finance officer up to the limit of Rs. 25000/- per project, on submission of
bill of expenses. The budget allocation for this head would be Rs. 3.00 lakhs spanning the
duration of TEQIP-II.
Publication of research papers in peer reviewed journals: With the percolation of research
culture from faculty to students at all levels, the institute is in the phase of encouraging quality
publications in peer reviewed journals by any concerned member, at national/international
level. When publishing in such journals is many times free of charge, the free limit prompts the
page limit for the work to be published. Any additional page may involve incurring some
charges. The incumbent (faculty or student, individual or team) will be paid at actual on caseto-case basis upon submission of proposal, accompanied by paper. The submission would take
place through HoD, approved by Dean-R&D and financially enabled by TEQIP finance officer,
on submission of bill of expenses. The budget allocation to this head will be Rs. 2.00 lakhs
spanning the duration of TEQIP-II.
Commercialization of research products and Patenting of research findings: The fruitful
research is expected to conclude at development of technology or prototype product/service
that finds application in real life. For the mature researchers, Commercialization of research
products and Patenting of research findings, are natural extensions of his/her work, beyond
cited publications. To encourage researchers for this cause, a financial support of up to Rs.
50000/- per project will be provided to encompass charges of legal consultants, advertisements
for originality claims and other incidental charges. The proposal shall be initiated by concerned
faculty or student team, endorsed by HoD, approved by Dean-R&D and financially enabled by
TEQIP finance officer, on submission of bill of expenses. The budget allocation to this head
will be Rs. 5.00 lakhs spanning the duration of TEQIP-II.
13
Travel cost, hospitality and honorarium paid to Consultant for participation in R & D and
for delivering Expert lectures:
The researcher teams with sponsored projects or consultancy assignment in hand may require
technical help/advise from external expertise for accomplishment of project. Such consultants
would be paid honorarium and eligible to receive travel expenses and hospitality, on case-tocase basis. The proposal shall be initiated by concerned faculty or student team, endorsed by
HoD, approved by Dean-R&D and financially enabled by TEQIP finance officer, on
submission of bill of expenses. The budget allocation to this head will be Rs. 2.00 lakhs
spanning the duration of TEQIP-II.

5 Enhanced Interaction with Industry (20.00 Lakhs)

5.a
Increase in Industry-Institute Interaction (Rs. 8.00 Lakh):
The Purpose of Industry Institute interaction cell in the Engineering Colleges is to share the
knowledge between industry and institute to equip the students coming out of the institute to
cater the needs of the industry with regard to the skill competence and the trained man power. An
effective industry- institute relation would help to benefit to industry and institute by way of
sharing knowledge, training needs of the institute, Project guidance and Placement of students
and problem solving in the industries through consultations. So each institution should set up an
Industry- Institute Interaction (I.I.I.) cell of their own to have effective communication with the
industries that would develop a perennial growth between the two in terms of technology up
gradation, awareness. The MoU signed by the institute with industry would help to bridge the
gap between the two organizations to shoulder the tasks and perform well to achieve the intended
purposes. The I. I. I. cell of the department can coordinate the entire activities of the Institutions
throughout the state and to act as the linkage with the government for the better governance of
the activities.
Main objectives of the Industry-Institute Interaction is to integrate industrial training and other
inputs from the industry with the teaching learning processes, interaction is necessary as it
develops students' awareness on job functions in the industry, attitudes to adapt to industrial
environment, proper practical and relevant knowledge, skills and competencies in preparation to
becoming self-employed. Industry expectations are also echoed through sound interaction,
particularly the requirements from new recruits who are expected to be orientated to industrial
19
disciplines, job descriptions within the workplace with industrial practices. Mutual benefit is
derived from the shared expertise and experiences between the industry and the institute. In
addition, operating within the framework of a specific cooperative program is an essential
outcome of having both industries and institute agree on specific skills training for some specific
jobs. There are different forms of Industry-Institute linkages that have been in vogue in our
country. The different forms are (i) Problem Solving Interaction (ii) Curriculum developments
and teaching and learning system (iii) Scholarship and placement (iv) Industrial Tour and Study
Visits (v) Faculty and Staff exchange (vi) Industrial apprenticeships (vii) Incubation center (viii)
Evaluation system.
The implementation of these collaborative efforts can be undertaken by the I-I-I Cell, in which
members of the industry are involved actively. The activities which are envisaged for improving
collaboration with industry provide an interface for developing an important stake in the
institutional reforms, research and human resource development and will also allow them to
fulfill corporate social responsibility.
The activities of the action plan for improving collaboration with industry are listed below:
Nomination of Industry experts on institutional bodies like Board of Management,

Academic Board and Board of Studies.
Encouraging experts from industry to visit institute to deliver lectures on industrial
practices, recent trends and experiences
Participation of experts from industry in curriculum development and restructuring.
Collaborative research projects and field studies by faculty and industry experts
Tutoring by Industry experts for Campus Interview Preparation
Visits of faculty to industry for study and discussions or delivering lectures on subjects of
mutual interest

development /revision / restructure, student assessment and institutional bodies, and for
delivering expert lectures; Expenditure for increasing III; Expenditure towards inviting
industries (excluding travel cost and lodging boarding) for campus interviews and hospitality
during campus interviews, etc. will be covered through TEQIP Funds. Proposal will be initiated
by Training Placement Officer in consultation with I.I.I. cell. Approvals will be done by TEQIP
Academic nodal officer, and funds released thereafter by TEQIP finance officer, on submission
of bill of expenses.
Student Internships or Projects in Industry: Travel cost of students (UG/PG/PhD) that associate
with an industry for about 34 weeks during vacations to engage in R&D projects, industrial inplant training, internships or B. Tech. and M. Tech. Projects and Dissertation work in industries
20
under joint guidance of the faculty and experts from industry. Many industries keep on
approaching T & P cell of the institute and/or departments for offering summer internship that
may comprise exposing students to industrial ambience, on-floor training, mini-projects, relevant
surveys etc. Whereas, established industries do offer stipends for this short duration, the genuine
small scale companies may not provide any fiscal help. In such cases, upon recommendation by
HoD and T&P officer, a limited support may be provided up to Rs. 2000/- towards one-time or
lump sum travel cost of incumbent (students or guide). Approvals will be done by TEQIP
Academic nodal officer, and funds released thereafter by TEQIP finance officer, on submission
of bill of expenses and certificate regarding successful completion of internship or Project.

shall be allowed to register for a maximum of 12 credits in a supplementary semester.
The supplementary semester shall be utilized primarily to facilitate the failed students to
attend the courses in which they have failed and not for launching any new courses for
credit. However, a Department shall be free to arrange any Add-On courses for its
students during this semester.
The academic activity in the supplementary semester shall be at double the rate as
compared to a normal semester; e.g., 1 credit of course work shall require two hours/week
in the class room, so that the contact hours are maintained the same as in a normal
semester. It shall also be necessary to fulfill the requirements of CIE and SEE for all the
courses like in a normal semester.
Courses planned for the supplementary semester shall be announced by the Dean,
Academic Affairs in each year, well before the conclusion of the even semester. Students
intending to avail of this facility shall have to register for the courses offered by paying the
prescribed fees within the stipulated time.
It shall be the responsibility of the Department to plan in advance the faculty and nonteaching staff requirements to conduct the supplementary semester and take necessary steps
including the institutional approvals for organizing the same. Since this program needs
experts in concern field we can appoint some experts from our mathematics and physic
department as extra load.
Budget
The teaching faculty will stay in the college during their vacation period and teach extra to the
needy students during the summer term. Honorarium to faculty and staff involved will be given
as per the norms decided at the institute level. These norms are given at the end in the Appendix.
Maximum budget of Rs. 5.00 Lakh are proposed for this Activity during the period of TEQIP
program.
Students Weak in Mathematics and Physics basic courses (Rs. 2.00 Lakh)
Need and importance of program: The students in college of engineering Pune are coming from
different schools and social sectors. The students are also coming from Diploma colleges to get
direct admissions in respective B.Tech courses. They get admission directly in second year.
They generally take their diploma courses after tenth standard. Such students mostly have
mathematics and physics subjects as their main weakness. We can arrange special coaching
separately in the said subjects for these students so that they become compatible and comfortable
with higher mathematics and physics as it get applied to other courses of their branches.
Methodology: This program is proposed in following phases:
1. In the initial stage identification of various students needed to be trained in said
subject is to be performed.
2. Then lecture series covering very basic fundamental of the subjects will commence
3. The course teaching will also include detailing and teaching the subject from application
point of view.
Since this program needs experts in concern field we can appoint some external experts or
faculty from our mathematics and physic department as extra load. A spate time table will be
prepared for these students with mutual convenience of teaching faculty and students.

Engineering, Pune is day-by-day increasing due to very high competition. However, it has been
observed for last few years that students getting admission in engineering faculty may face
difficulties in completing their course work due to various pressures. In number of cases apart
from other factors psychological aspects are prominent. Thus it will be a great help to provide
them some psychological support. Some students are from remote areas, or from lower socioeconomic background. Some students are academically backward. In some cases students are
with low self- esteem and self-confidence. Student may belong to either category but it becomes
difficult for him to cope up competitive modern world. This program is to enable those students
to face challenges of industry and as well as of modern world. For such needy students
Psychological services and support are useful to overcome their problems.
Methodology: This program is proposed in following phases:
1. In the initial stage Psychological Tests will be conducted for first year students to
identify weaker students who will need Psychological support.
2. Then various programs will be conducted to satisfy their needs. It may include
workshops; follow up sessions and group counseling.
3. In special cases personal counseling will be provided.
4. In addition to this some expert lectures, and workshops can organized to create
awareness about importance of psychology and mental strength in the success of life.
Since this program needs experts in concern field we can appoint some experts on the contractual
basis. Fields in which help is necessary are psychological testing and counseling. Internal faculty
will be available wherever it is necessary.
Budget: Honorarium to faculty and staff for psychological testing and group counseling Per
session (of two hours) - Rs. 2000/- including remuneration and T.A. Personal counseling Rs.
1000/- per session. It will also include hospitality, stationary and incidental expenses for
organization of these activities. The amount will be given through TEQIP Funding under support
weaker student on submission of bill of expenses through TEQIP coordinator; Nodal Officers,
Academic and Finance. Maximum budget of Rs. 1.00 Lakh are proposed for this Activity.

Support for Students to Improve their Employability (Rs. 12.00 Lakh)
Communication and Presentation Skills of many students particularly engineering students who
come out of college really needs to be brushed, this is a general feedback received from
Industries. Students fail miserably to express themselves. Without expression, there is no
impression.
Therefore, the purpose of the program is to enhance and sharpen the required skills among the
engineering graduates and make them employable in the IT & Core industries visiting COEP for
26
campus Placements. This is a supplementary training that attempts to make-up for deficiencies of
low tier students by providing specialized training in technical fields and also in soft skills, to
facilitate their employability and play a part in the supply side issues of the industry. This
training will be designed with sufficient flexibility to benefit the fresh engineering students
coming from far-flung villages and urban places with different backgrounds.

Guidelines for International Travel Support Scheme
Introduction:
These guidelines are framed to ensure that all international travel related to project are
undertaken as per the set procedures and after obtaining the necessary approvals as outlined
hereunder.
Only the PhD students, faculty, Heads of the Departments and Heads of the Project Institutions,
State officials handling the Project, Directors of Technical Education, SPFU officials and MHRD

Appendix-E
Minutes of the Meeting NPIU with SPFU
The Meeting under chairpersonship of the Additional Secretary with the
Commissioners/Additional Secretary/Deputy Secretary of Technical Education or Higher
Education Departments of 14 States and SPFUs coordinators held on 19th June, 2013 at India
International Centre, New Delhi. The list of participants is at Annexure II.
The Additional Secretary (T) welcomed all the participants to the meeting and emphasized the
need for increasing the pace of expenditure under TEQIP II through monthly Planning and
monitoring in view of closing date of December 2014. The absence of participation from the
State of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Orissa was noted and separate meeting with these
States will be held at the earliest.
Summary of the decisions:
1. The unspent balances of participating states were on higher side; therefore targeted monthly
expenditure should include at least 90% of the unspent Balances till 31st July 2013 and additional
expenditure for August and September 2013 as per Annexure I. The participating States should
submit their monthly expenditure plan to NPIU before 30th June 2013.
2. In the event of States not achieving the expenditure target by due date, the unspent funds will
be transferred to well performing States.
3. In the event of deviation and escalation of the estimates BoGs/Head of the Institutions is the
competent authority for approval, the SPFUs may only be informed about such cases.
4. The BoGs of the Institutes are empowered to approve the International Travel Plan in respect of
International Travel Support Scheme.
5. Seed grant for research to faculty members and/or students may be provided to venture into
innovative research and to strengthen research culture in Institutes. However, Institutes will lay
down norms for implementation.
6. In the case of Private Unaided Institutions, text books, e-journals and software can be procured
as soft component but it needs to be ensured that all the available funding will not be spent
under a single head of expenditure.
7. As regards procurement of Services, Institutes own BoG/Head of Institutions will be
empowered to give the required NOC. Only in case of Services requiring World Banks NOC,
such cases will be processed through NPIU.
8. It is clarified that in case of delay in constituting the BoG/appointment of the Chairperson in
participating institution, Ex Director of the Institute can be appointed a Chairman of the BoG.
9. For the Institutions selected in second cycle, Procurement Plan be reviewed and approved by
the BoG/Head of Institution.
10. The project supports Teaching & Research Assistantships for Masters and Doctoral students of
Applied Sciences viz. Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics.
11. Tie up with IITs and IIMs be encouraged to expedite the faculty development activities in the
Project Institutions.
12. Joint venture with Industry for academic and research activities be encouraged under project.
