The NEP focuses on providing quality education to all students, irrespective of their socio-economic background or place of residence, thus cultivating the youths of tomorrow into moral and civil citizens leading to the development of the nation. The NEP also encourages education to be Holistic, Integrated, Enjoyable and Engaging, which can be achieved by introducing and integrating new pedagogies. Service-learning is one such pedagogy that aims at being experiential, inquiry-driven, and meaningful. Service-learning is popular at enabling students to apply classroom learnings into the real-world and gain hands-on experience, because of which, it is widely integrated into Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), especially at the undergraduate level, around the world. Given the outcome of implementing NEP by 2030, it is reasonable to envision HEIs of India, primarily engineering, to adopt and integrate service-learning experiences into their curriculum as well. This paper is an attempt to showcase the learning outcomes and scope of service-learning as a pedagogy to accomplish the objectives of NEP 2020.

In OBE, different types of active learning tools, varying from a simple, class room assessment tools like one-minute paper, thinkpair- share, flipped classroom, to a more complex technique like problem based learning, cooperative learning, peer supported independent study are used so that the engineering graduates get equipped with required skill sets to make them industry ready. In India, nowadays the quality of education provided by the institutions and the programs run by these institutions is evaluated by two major bodies namely NBA and NAAC. Accreditation of the programs and institutions by NBA and NAAC is based on some criteria and it has become an essential requirement to ensure the quality technical education. In NBA and NAAC, students’ placements, higher education, entrepreneurship, industry internship and connect with industry are considered to be the key indicators for ensuring quality technical education and a higher weightage has been provided in the evaluation process. In this paper, an attempt has been done to improve students’ placement index (i.e. placements, higher studies and entrepreneurships) by implementing the concept of Quality Circle (QC) activity for the students of civil engineering department of Rajarambapu Institute of Technology, Rajaramnagar. The results indicate that implementation of QC concept could improve placement index by 10% for last two batches and could maintain progress even during COVID pandemic.

This necessitates the teachers to employ multivariate pedagogical strategies to uphold the attention of students and provide them with a longterm knowledge base. One such strategy involving visualization and supporting active learning is the mind mapping tool. Mind maps can be employed as a teaching aid along with other active learning strategies in order to unleash the in-depth associations between related concepts. Through its innate visual structure, it helps the students to organize and assimilate concepts by looking into the broader picture. Mind mapping not only aids as a longterm memory technique but also promotes design thinking and lateral thinking skills. In this paper, exploiting mind maps throughout the teaching and learning process of Computer Architecture and Organization course for the undergraduate students of the third-year engineering programme is elaborately discussed. Through the case study presented, the mind map is showcased to take various facets like ‘Storm a brain-map’, ‘Break the ice-map’, ‘Fill the neurons’ and ‘Unit wise summary map’ in different sessions of the teaching learning process. It was not only used as a teaching aid, but also served as an effective formative assessment tool for evaluating the students’ understanding of the subject matter. The schema for scoring the mind maps and its relevance to the anticipated summative performance of the students is discussed. Thus, mind maps help in transforming the delivery mechanism and thereby promotes a radical learning environment.
