technical forum of various departments which provide platforms for the
students to give shape to their innovative ideas. These forums encourage the
students to unleash their talents by organizing technical and cultural fest at
the inter-departmental levels and also encourage them to publish Technical
Papers in the widely acclaimed journals and magazines.
Result Analysis:
The APS College of Engineering has been recording results outscoring the
averages of even some of the acclaimed longstanding colleges. In fact, the
penetrative initiatives by the teaching faculty of the college observe the
performance and help growing even higher in the near future, setting newer
standards in the University Examinations. Some of our students in various
departments have secured topper place in the University examinations. The
average pass percentage in various semesters of different departments is
above 85%.

5. APSCE- Ragging free Campus
Ragging of any kind is declared as a criminal offence and strictly banned as
per the Honourable Supreme Court Directions.
All the students are directed to strictly desist from ragging in any form. The
display of disorderly conduct, teasing, rude treatment, manhandling, any
kind of psychological abuse, asking students to do any act which they would
not have done in an ordinary course or which causes them embarrassment
etc., would be treated as ragging.
Strict action will be taken against the students indulging in the illegal act of
ragging. The defaulters will be expelled and rusticated from the institution.
FIR will be lodged against the defaulters. The version of the fresher will be
considered as the final.
The affected students are advised to immediately inform the college Principal
or anti raging committee about any incident of ragging.
This institution will not support any act that is illegal as constructed by the
law of the land. As adults, the students are expected to have a fair sense of
which act is legal and illegal. They should conduct themselves both inside and
outside the instate in a manner that is befitting an institute of this stature. In
addition to being mature and responsible in conduct, the students are

all round development of students personality and their progressive and
creative thinking. At the same time, in order that they effectively discharged
civic responsibilities and virtues, the institute sets its own terms of conduct
that must be adhered to, by all the students. The institute can take action, if
these terms are violated, through different senate committe
