Abstract


With the advent of technology the field of academics has also bloomed by thoroughly using it so as to get the superlative results and also make the students aware of the latest scenario in the field of technology around them. To inculcation of the spirit of leadership and entrepreneurship students have been aligned towards the University Ambassador Programs and for start - up of companies the students are given support by the University Incubation. The online courses are the latest tool that has proved to be a boon for the universities all over the world. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is one such example which is a recent development in the field of distance education that enables millions of students to learn expediently. The other tool being used for the augmentation of the skills of the students and faculty is "Content Rich Course Package" that provides rich-course content to the faculty to deliver the best to the students. This technology provides content rich study material to the students as well as the faculty. It also makes teaching effortless, balanced and beautiful. The faculty has full control over the course. Moreover the team work of the students is enhanced by the concept of "Integrated Projects", wherein the students work in a team to put into operation concepts learnt in the curriculum. Using these approaches the results shown are impeccable and also the interests of the students have raised radically.
