Academic Dean's Desk
Prof. Dr. Bharat Shinde
Professor & Dean Academics
As the Dean Academics, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to Yashoda Shikshan Prasarak Mandal's Yashoda Technical Campus, Satara.
As an autonomous institution offering programs in Engineering, Pharmacy, MBA, BBA, MCA, and BCA, we are committed to fostering an environment of academic excellence, innovation, and holistic development. Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and values required to excel in their chosen careers and contribute meaningfully to society.
The University Grants Commission (UGC), National Board of Accreditation (NBA), and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasize the importance of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), which focuses on what students learn and are capable of achieving upon completion of their programs. This learner-centric approach enhances accountability, quality, and continuous improvement in higher education. YSPM has successfully implemented OBE across all its academic programs and remains dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence.
As an autonomous institution, YSPM follows the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), which provides students with the flexibility to choose courses across disciplines and earn academic credits based on their interests and career aspirations. Recognizing the evolving global landscape, we encourage engineering students to explore multidisciplinary learning by taking courses from other domains while also pursuing advanced subjects within their own specialization. This approach equips students with broader perspectives and prepares them for the challenges of the modern professional world.
Your journey at YSPM offers numerous opportunities for academic, personal, and professional growth. I encourage you to actively engage in your studies, participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities, collaborate with your peers, and make the best use of the resources available on campus. We also recognize that student well-being and mental health are essential for academic success. Our dedicated support services are always available to assist you whenever needed.
Since attaining autonomous status, YSPM has introduced several progressive reforms to the traditional curriculum, creating a dynamic, flexible, and industry-oriented learning environment that nurtures innovation, creativity, and lifelong learning.
I wish you a rewarding academic journey filled with learning, achievements, and success.
Welcome to YSPM!
