In India universities and colleges typically assume that students entering their first year of higher education are sufficiently prepared to be successful in college level studies. However, many studies have conclusively shown that most students perform at significantly lower grade level during graduate courses compared to their actual grade in 12th standard. Students from various geographical locations, boards of study, economical back grounds and medium of study will take admission to university courses. Faculty teaching university courses will experience heterogeneous student groups in terms of proficiency in pre-requistes for university courses. We had designed a unique program at RK University (RKU) to overcome the above challenges, which is discussed in this paper. This program has achieved great success in improving students learning in university undergraduate and post graduate courses to get head start on their academic goals. In this paper, we will explore the design and implementation of University Bridge Program (UBP) at RKU.Keywords

Indian technical education system is producing a great number of engineering graduates for the entire world. The large numbers of Indian engineers are working globally in diverse fields of industry. Globalization led to high competition among business organizations. Business organizations are in need of engineering graduates with innovative thinking. To produce industry ready graduates' radical changes in terms of pedagogy and assessment is required in Indian education system. Higher education is supposed to equip students with intellectual abilities and skills. To meet the global challenges, RKU currently focusing on activity-based learning and quality assessment methods under the umbrella of Academic and Operational Audit Services and Assessment Advisory Council committees. This paper describes an Assessment Advisory Council committee approved assessment approach. Fruitful results achieved and challenges faced by faculty for student's internal assessment to avoid rote learning are discussed.Keywords

The higher education system is experiencing quick changes in the curriculum to be taught in line with industry demands to make the graduates' industry ready. Therefore, changing curriculum demands quick adoption by the faculty and newer pedagogies to improve student learning. Various technologies are developed to support Teaching and Learning. Technology started playing a key role in improvising student learning by helping the students to collaborate, share and stay in connect with the facilitator anytime for many where. This introduced the concept of ubiquitous learning. The Blended Learning approach gained a lot of attention in higher education across the world, optimizing the use of face-to-face and online sessions. In this approach, the student plays an active role in TLP and the teacher has to fulfill the role, of course, session designer, facilitator, panelist, etc. This article will present how blended learning pedagogy can be implemented effectively.Keywords
