Various experiential learning components like Case Studies, Industry Projects, Field Experience, Internships, Industry visits, Moot court etc. are made integral part of courses.

Extension and Outreach Activities: K.R Mangalam University creates awareness, shapes and sensitizes the young minds for a responsible behaviour, inclusiveness and innovation. Thus, students undertake various social responsibility activities.

We have adopted 5 villages of the Gurugram district – Ghamroj, Garhi Bazidpur, Berka, Lakhuwas, Kharoda with duly signed MOU with District Commissioner, Gurugram for basic services in villages of district Gurugram, As per of adoption of nearby villages we inculcate social, ethical, and cultural values specially to take up programs Post COVID 19 affected villagers for Education, Health, Hygiene, Nutrition providing experiential learning and real time live-in-the-lab projects for students and faculty for building resilient smart villages.

From academic year 2021-22, the University has undertaken 92 extension and outreach activities till date, which encompasses a spectrum of community awareness, sensitization and development programmes on digital skills enhancement, plantation drives, financial literary campaign, visit to orphanages and old age homes, media literacy, self-medication camps, nutrition and hygiene alert rally, street plays, health camps, field projects, improvising STEM learning in rural schools, Swachhta avam Shramdaan Abhiyaan, sanitary kitchen practices and many more.

Mentor-Mentee system: Unbiased guidance from experienced thought leaders is paramount to navigate students efficiently to achieve what they want.

The system strengthens the bond between teachers and students while helping them teach and learn at their own pace. The training from the mentors helps the students to choose a career path that can suit their skills and interests. Effective mentoring begins with the faculty and depends on the healthy relationship between faculty and students.

The National Service Scheme (NSS) Club: It allows young students to participate in various government-led community service activities & programmes. The objective of KRMU-NSS is to develop responsible personalities through community service. The programme aims to promote social welfare in students to serve society equally.

Under NSS, volunteers help the deprived section of society raise their living standard to live with dignity.

A team of 188 teaching staff and 80 administrative and non-teaching staff is dedicated to working harder towards the attainment of the goals of this university.

We have created a mission-driven system for transforming large numbers of highly talented faculty with specializations in diverse areas (both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary areas) with more autonomy and awards for productivity in terms of pedagogy, skill enhancement, research, and mentoring for creativity and innovation.

130 faculty have undergone Faculty Development Programmes (FDP) during academic year 2021-22 till date and financial support has been provided to them to attend conferences/workshops and towards membership fee of professional bodies. We have organized 50 faculty development programmes and training programmes during the year.

Teaching is given highest priority in faculty appraisal, annual increments and promotions. Peer review, Industry feedback, and academics experts viewpoints are incorporated in designing and reviewing the curriculum and course delivery. Outcome based education is integrated across the Teaching Learning Process (TLP). Faculty are recognized and awarded based on student and peer feedback on teaching.

Quality Assurance

To foster a culture of quality assurance in all academic and research endeavours, the university has developed a framework for continuous quality management and control. The Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of K.R Mangalam University conducted several trainings through a series of demonstrations and Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) to familiarize the faculty with student-centric approaches to teaching. These methods include fishbowl techniques, simulation techniques, Student’s Interactive Sessions (SIS), Problem Based Learning (PBL), integrated teaching and tutorials.

ICT tools such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and E-learning resources are used by all the teachers. The University introduced its own MOODLE LMS this academic year which provides an interactive learning platform between students and teachers.

IQAC developed student questionnaires, and by doing so, it was able to coordinate the evaluation of personnel and different programmes by various stakeholders such as students, teachers, alumni, parents, employers and industry experts. Additionally, it is being ensured that all Units/Departments adhere to academic briefs, staff-to-student ratios, quality and mix.

Impact of value-based education on university

Value Based Education approach offers a new way of thinking about education and how students can be supported to develop to become successful and happy members of the global society. It encourages reflective and inspirational attributes and attitudes.

As a consequence, students become academically more diligent, the university acquire a more peaceful ambience, better student-teacher relationships are forged, student and teacher wellbeing improves and stakeholders are more engaged with the university. Explicit teaching of values provides a common ethical language for talking about interpersonal behavior. It also provides a mechanism for self-regulated behavior.

An important outcome is a more settled university which enhances quality teaching and enables faculty to raise the bar for student performance.

Academic Diligence: Students show an increased attentiveness in class and a greater capacity to work independently, assume more responsibility for their own learning ask questions and work together more cooperatively, take greater care, put more effort in their classwork and take more pride in their efforts.

University Ambience: The university ambience witnesses a decrease in the conflict among students. There is a demonstration of greater empathy, honesty and integrity.

Students become more tolerant and cooperative in their interactions. Classrooms and campus become safer and more harmonious. Greater kindness and tolerance among students is seen.

Student-teacher Relationships: Student-teacher relationships become more trusting. More democratic classrooms are established. Teachers give students more power by allowing them choices in learning activities. Teachers become more conscious of scaffolding students to manage their own behaviour or resolve conflict with others.

Teachers seek opportunities to acknowledge and reinforce appropriate behaviour. They listen to students and respond to their concerns and opinions.
