Dr. Subbareddy recommended increasing the number of industrial visits for both students and faculty members. After each industrial visit, students are required to submit a comprehensive report. The syllabus should incorporate recent topics, and open-ended experiments based on these recent topics should be provided to the students.
Dr. Parimala R V expressed her appreciation for the syllabus format, which includes laboratory sessions, web links, and applications in each module. She also recommended the inclusion of new topics in subjects like measurements and electric motors.

Mr. Naveen Kumar suggested to include basics of coding subjects in both 1st and 2nd semester so that students can learn advanced coding subjects in higher semesters. He also suggested to include Smart sensors and systems and recent trends in the syllabus like BLDC motors, cooling techniques and protection of transformers.
Mr. Selvakumar R gave suggestions related to ability enhancement courses. Ability enhancement courses should be practical oriented rather just a power point presentation. PLC kits can be procured from the college so that students can work with them regularly and get well versed in their usage which helps them in getting placed in core companies.
