Why Six Sigma in Education ????

rapid expansion of engineering educational institutions in India has resulted in

fall in quality of technical manpower coming out from these institutions on
account of poor infrastructure, admission policy.

higher percentage of student failures in the university examinations, fewer

amounts of placement opportunities and very less number of students
motivated as entrepreneurs are the major defects in the engineering
educational institutions

Day by day the competition from various institutions and universities is

mounting up

Quality of education is going to be of foremost importance in all further

higher education

Objective

To study application of six sigma in educational institutes(mechanical department)

Find out affecting factors which are acted as barrier for implementation of
six sigma in Mechanical department of ADIT

Give appropriate suggestions to overcome that factors

Process Flow
1

College success is dependent upon the passing rate of students

Passing dependent on students dedication towards studies

Students dedication is governed by efforts of Principal, HOD and Faculty

Principal, HOD and Faculty are controlled by the administration

Administration capability is greatly limited by the management

Management makes college reputation

College reputation attracts companies for placement and students

Factor affecting in failure of students

Failure in learning process

Failure in teaching process

Failure due to Infrastructure facilities

Failure due to ERROR in examination(paper checking & marking)

Failure due to unusual reasons

1) Failure in learning process

Lack of interest

Language barrier

Health

Unskilled faculty

Irregularity of student

Improper time management

Poor understanding of subjects

2) Failure in teaching process

Unqualified faculty

No proper teaching methodology

Lack of interest

Improper time management

Incompletion of syllabus

Lack of freedom on teaching methods

Salary issue

3) Failure due to Infrastructure facilities

Insufficient laboratory machines

Bad seating arrangements in classrooms

Lack of other instruments related to subjects

Bad environment, air circulation problem, lack of proper lighting in class

rooms

4) Failure due to error in examination

process

No proper checking of answer sheet

Silly mistakes like wrong summing of marks in answer sheet by evaluator

Carelessness in data-entry of marks from answer sheets

Wrong solution key for question paper

5) Failure due to unusual reasons

Not able to appear in examination due to some reasons

Bad health

Failure to get hall ticket

Catching in doing some illegal practice during examination

Bad writing skills

Suggestions for infrastructure facility

Laboratory should be equipped with required instruments

Laboratory in charge should be well qualified

Digitalization of library

Software should be provided to access library

Up gradation of library

Good physical environment in classrooms like air circulation ,seating

arrangement ,enough light facility

Suggestion for teaching process

Provide necessary facilities to faculties

Recruit some experience faculty from some good known collages

Give training to faculties

Give freedom to faculty to modify teaching style

Give enough salary as per rules & regulation

Dont put too much work pressure on them

Suggestions for learning process

Conducting personality development classes

Organize health camp regularly

Make learning interesting

Regular parents meeting

Modified lecture schedule

Remove unnecessary burden from students

Suggestion for failure due to

examination process

Make examination process sound

More transparent

Fix accountability for mistakes in paper evaluation

Use technology to reduce such errors
