Academics
Learning and Pedagogy
At KIET Group of Institutions, learning is being redefined through innovative, hands-on, and technology-integrated pedagogical approaches, especially with the launch of the first-year Autonomous Batch. The aim is to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application, ensuring students evolve into industry-ready professionals.
Core Philosophy: Education That Transforms
The pedagogy at KIET is built on the principle of active learning, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Students are encouraged to move beyond textbooks, engage with real-life problems, and develop solutions using modern tools and interdisciplinary teamwork.
Pedagogical Innovations
- Project-Based & Activity-Based Learning
Students participate in a range of projects like Web Design, AI Solutions, and IoT Applications, fostering creativity and technical expertise. Workshops such as Design Thinking follow structured models (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test), simulating real-world problem solving. - Modern Tool Integration
Platforms like CodeTantra are adopted for first-year programming education, offering:
- Personalized and adaptive learning.
- Real-time, skill-based assessments replacing rote learning.
- Increased engagement and measurable learning outcomes.
- AI & Web Technologies
Live demonstrations, hands-on coding (using platforms like Google Colab, VS Code), GitHub-based collaboration, and tools like Canva/Figma have been incorporated to equip students with essential 21st-century skills. - Innovation & Entrepreneurship
The "IGNITE" program and the Innovation & Entrepreneurship ecosystem involve:
- Business model development & pitching sessions.
- Interaction with leading industry and policy experts.
- Linkages with national platforms like TBI-KIET, DST NIDHI, Startup India, and Unnat Bharat Abhiyan.
Teaching Methodology
- Collaborative Learning: Team-based projects across departments.
- Design Realization: 3D printing and prototyping workshops translate abstract ideas into physical models.
- Community-Oriented Problem Solving: Case studies and group activities addressing local issues.
- Digital Fluency: Tools like Canva, Figma, GitHub, and CodeTantra are embedded into learning modules.
Evaluation Strategy
Assessments emphasize practical understanding and innovation:
- Mid-term and final programming assessments on CodeTantra.
- Evaluation through hackathons, prototype presentations, and portfolio websites.
- Recognition of student-led initiatives like freelancing, GitHub project deployment, and patent submissions.
Achievements & Outcomes
- 95% certification in AI courses by Andrew NG.
- Students developed live projects and portfolio websites.
- Funded startup projects and patent applications by first-year students.
- Participation of over 2000 students in entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives.
KIET’s learning ecosystem is constantly evolving—from blackboards to cloud labs, from theory to startup-ready ideas, cultivating future leaders and innovators ready to make a real-world impact.
