Orientation & Pedagogy
Learning Methodology
SCIT strives to make a paradigm shift from exam orientation to knowledge orientation. SCIT believes in the practice of consolidation where in the core elements of academic rigor and academic discipline are closely knitted by research, student orientation, brand-building, corporate interface and process automation. To realize this shift SCIT has taken several steps on curricula review and development, student and faculty orientation. Faculty members are oriented towards creating evaluation methodologies from concept-building through application development and not necessarily just elaboration on theory.
At SCIT a semester pattern, that is, 2 terms per academic year is followed. At the beginning of the term, the syllabus along with the names of reference books, authors and the evaluation policy is communicated to the students. No text books are prescribed as students are expected to explore and learn by referring to books, implementing concepts in the labs and collecting references from the Internet, analyzing and problem solving through case studies etc. SCIT also has a digital library with a spectrum of e-books and magazines. SCIT's evaluation policy has external as well as internal evaluation. The internal evaluation is carried out continually and consists of any combination of several components to test the writing, critical thinking and analytical capability of the students to ensure holistic development. In order to ensure the same, the pedagogy has a strong blend of Experiential learning, Flexi-credits, Value-add courses.
Experiential Learning:
It’s a learning process initiated by a concrete experience, which demands reflection, review and perspective-taking about the experience; then abstract thinking to reach conclusions and conceptualize the meaning of the experience; leading to a decision to act, engaging in active experimentation or trying out what you’ve learned.
This cycle is so natural and organic that people engage in it without being aware that they are learning. It happens almost effortlessly all the time and is constantly transforming our lives. Most people have preferences for the way they use this learning cycle, focusing on some modes more than others. At SCIT, each course taught in a semester reflects an element of experiential learning as a part of the pedagogy.
Flexi- Credits courses:
In Flexi credit courses, some credits of the programme structure are reserved for Flexi-credit courses. The Institute offers a contemporary course based on the emerging needs of the dynamic industry as the flexi credit course.
The students engage in diverse activities thus we aim to have them work without us, but expect that they will bring that work back to their classmates and us. The expectation through offering flexi credits is that the additional work should result in better performance in the classroom and on assignments.
Value-Add courses:
Value added courses are offered to the students which are beyond the stipulated program structure in each semester. It is important for higher education institutions to supplement the curriculum to make students better prepared to meet industry demands as well as develop their own interests and aptitudes. Our college offers a wide variety of value-add courses which are conducted beyond the regular class hours or during semester breaks. Many students have been benefited every year. Value added course provide the opportunity for training as well as guidance of the students on the various aspects of building a career and to assist them in exploring new opportunities.
Internships
Internship in the industry is an integral part of the 2-year academic programmes at SCIT. It provides excellent opportunities for SCIT students to get a first-hand experience of business realities. Before working as interns, SCIT students work on pilot projects, a replica of what happens in the industry. This enables them to make a quick start in learning from the "LIVE" environment during an internship project, a new perspective that a classroom cannot generate. In the past, most of the SCIT students have worked with reputed companies and have contributed significantly; some have even travelled abroad for live projects.
Projects
Collaborative Projects
SCIT makes a conscious effort in tracking technology advancements and transformations that businesses are going through. The students as well as the faculty of SCIT undertake various industry projects as well as R & D projects that cover this area of study.
Students also engaged in collaborative projects with students from Universities abroad on courses like Design Thinking and Data Science courses as well.
Capstone Project:
Capstone projects are generally designed to encourage students to think critically, solve challenging problems, and develop research skills, teamwork, planning, self-sufficiency, or goal setting—i.e., skills that will help prepare them for college, modern careers, and adult life. SCIT offers capstone project to students in collaboration with international universities.
Research and Development Projects
Research orientation is an important part of learning at SCIT. Students need to register and work on a dissertation. SCIT presently works in these broader areas of research.
Multi-faceted Learning
At SCIT we believe in the new realization that exams are only a purpose of learning and true learning is actually a journey to explore knowledge. SCIT looks at postgraduate education with a view to create 'learnability' in a student that stays with him life-long and does not wither with a degree in hand. SCIT lays importance on a student's all-round development with a focus on academics as well in all its residential programmes. The holistic programmes build strength and create a framework to enjoy life as professionals and as individuals. Self-exploration through programmes such as 'Moral Re-Armnanent Camp (MRA)' is encouraged.
SCIT's Power Triangle
At SCIT, students undergo a transformation into empowered proactive professionals through a three-fold learning process: gaining experiential knowledge of technology and practices, mental and physical well-being through a holistic health programme and industry practices. SCIT offers residential and off-campus programmes as well as corporate training programmes.
