MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049261 A) filed by Koneru Vijaya Lakshmi; Mandava Radhakrishna Murthy; Dr. Shyamasundar Tripathy; and Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation, Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, on April 17, for 'a method for determining and enhancing academic engagement based on institutional value alignment in higher education institutions..'
Inventor(s) include Mandava Radhakrishna Murthy; and Dr. Shyamasundar Tripathy.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a comprehensive framework for assessing and enhancing student academic engagement in higher education through institutional value alignment analysis. The system employs Natural Language Processing techniques including BERT-based transformers to extract semantic value representations from student writings and institutional mission documents. Machine learning classification models including Support Vector Machines, Random Forest classifiers, and Deep Neural Networks predict engagement levels based on computed value alignment scores. A hybrid ensemble architecture combines multiple base learners through sophisticated voting and stacking mechanisms, achieving prediction accuracies exceeding 85 percent. The system generates personalized intervention recommendations including course suggestions, faculty mentorship matching, and co-curricular activity recommendations for students with low value alignment. Real-time monitoring capabilities enable proactive identification of engagement decline through learning analytics dashboards and early warning alerts. Institutional decision support tools provide cohort-level analysis, longitudinal outcome tracking, and scenario modelling capabilities. Empirical validation demonstrates 15 to 35 percent improvements in retention rates, academic performance, and engagement metrics for students with high value alignment. This invention addresses critical gaps in educational technology by providing evidence-based, data-driven methods for enhancing student success through systematic value alignment assessment."
