For successful implementation of any program in an institution, the administration and the management have to be committed to implementation process.

Formulate an implementation plan with the administration before the implementation of the e-learning platform. Adapt your implementation template to the processes and schedules of the institution to make sure implementation is successful.

Role of different stakeholders of the institution for successful implementation

Administrator

Administrator involvement is crucial for the success of any learning system in their institution.

• The administrator should be excited about the program.
• Administrators are present at the training session. 
  • Administrator should the schedule the training event and attend it with their faculty.
  • Administrator can understand, what they expect out of their faculty.
  • This show support to the trainer and also about the importance given to the e-learning platform and the teachers of the institution.

Faculty 

• Faculty should have an open mind about e-learning and work on how it can enhance their teaching.
• They should treat e-learning platform as a tool to better engage with the students and the educational community.
• Faculty should try simple things at first (eg: loading their notes, student info.) and gradually increase the usage of other features as well. Most of the implementations fail because most of features are used immediately without proper understanding of the platform.

Try to make the presentation interesting with pedagogy in mind rather than being too technical.

E-learning Vendor

Customer service

Customer service is very important in any sector and for it being the primary face of the company to its customer. If the customers are happy your business thrives well.

• Success of the e-learning platform depends on the usage of the platform. Make sure you can provide good customer service during and post implementation periods.
• Having a bi-weekly visit to the campus during first six months of the post implementation would be great, if you can provide.

Feedback

Develop a feedback mechanism to get quality feedback at regular intervals from the institutions.

Students can try our college finder tool to find the colleges for their cutoff. Refine the search results by City, Average salary and Placement Rate

It’s often easy to find one, two, or three colleges you’d really like, with ideas from a parent or older sibling and friends, But it’s much harder to find relevant alternatives: colleges similar to your first choice, but ones that, for one reason or another, are better for your needs.

To help the students we have built a tool, which will guide you with information and analytics to find the best fit for your needs.

Picking the right college is very important to step towards launching a career. But often, students and parents make this decision without knowing all of the information about colleges. Myklassroom.com has developed a tool; Find your college, to help students and their families to make informed decision . TNEA College Finder lets users find the best engineering  colleges in the state of Tamil Nadu that suit your needs and credentials

Find your chance for success: Students are often so consumed with getting into college that they think will be accepting based on cut-off marks.  What really counts is earning a degree and choosing a career that best fits you. Look for colleges based on your interest, career plans and also the locations. Extra pointer: Before you go to the counseling pre-select 8-10 colleges that will meet your needs.

Find the right alternatives: Colleges that seem similar can produce strikingly different student outcomes. After searching for a college, Find  ”Similar Colleges” on the right  to compare campuses with common characteristics, like the qualifications for entering students, placement rate and the average salary after graduation. Not only will this information help you add schools similar to the one(s) you’ve already put on your list, it will help you discover schools that you haven’t yet heard of that would be good choices given your preferences and cut-off marks.

It’s all about the location: Many believe the best college option is the one closest (or farthest away) from home or in a city near your home. But consider whether proximity to home is worth the risk of attending a school where the chances of get placed in a good company are slim. Keep in mind all of your options for higher education in the region that works best for you and your family. Use filter option on the left to find a large pool of colleges in a city and then choose the best one for you. Some rural colleges are better than city colleges too,  use your judgement in choosing them.

Should you look for reputation: It can be fun to go to school with friends or based on rankings and recognitions. What matters more is the facilities, the infrastructure and the industry partnerships at the colleges. Check out details about the colleges at Engineering college list (Tamilnadu)

Other factors

Autonomous Syllabus: The College should not be bound to a rigid syllabus. It should be designed in a way that amendments can be carried out as and when necessary. The syllabus should have a wide range of options.

Success rate: Check the success rate of the passed out students. Collect details regarding how many students who had passed out from that college are now well placed.

Active Alumni: Check how active is the alumni association of that college. Active alumni association shows that the students still remember the college, from which they have benefited the most.

Placement Scenario: Placement prospects play a pivotal role in selection. But, don’t select a college purely on the basis of placement offers.

CBSE conducted class 12 exam throughout the month of March and April 2012 and ended on 13 April 2012.Around 7,69,929 students appeared in CBSE class 12 exams from all over India.

Students who want to take part in Tamilnadu engineering admission can calculate their cutoff as shown below

• Tamil Nadu Acts No.3 of 2007, dt: 05.03.2007 and G.O. (Ms) No.77 HE (J2) Dept, dt: 05.04.2007, the marks obtained by the students in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by various Boards or Authority shall be equated with the marks obtained by the students in the same subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by the State Board of Tamil Nadu by adopting the method of normalization.
• Example:
• If the highest mark secured by the student of State Board of Tamil Nadu in Physics is 100 and the highest marks secured by a student of any other Board in the same subject is 90 both the highest marks will be considered to be equal to 100. If a student of the other Board secures 60 marks in Physics when the first mark in Physics in the same Board is 90, 60 marks will be considered to be equal to 66.66 marks as arrived below
• 100 x 60 = 66.66%
• 90
• After normalization of marks in the relevant subjects in the qualifying examination conducted by different Boards, the qualified students shall be merged into a common merit list.
• A merit list will be prepared based on the total marks of 200. In cases where more than one candidate have got the same marks in the common merit list, the inter-se merit among such candidates shall be determined in the order of priority as specified below
• (1) Percentage of marks in Mathematics, (2) Percentage of marks in Physics, (3) Percentage of marks in the fourth optional subject, (4) Date of Birth (elder will be given preference) and (5) Random number assigned (higher value will be given preference).

Once the cutoff is calculated, students can use the college finder tool to estimate the best colleges for their cutoff
