BACKGROUND
1.1
PresentSystemofEngineeringEducationinIndia:
Engineeringeducationbecameamainattractionafter1990whenIndiabecameamajorcontributorto
the global IT industry revolution. In the last two decades, many State Governments have encouraged
establishment of selffinanced Engineering Institutions where State Government does not provide
financialsupport.Asaresult,theIndiansystemofEngineeringEducationhasbecomevastandsofara
totalnumberof3495EngineeringDegreeinstitutions1havebeenestablishedwithenrolmentcapacity
of17,61,976asin201213.
TheexponentialgrowthinEngineeringEducationseemstohavenotresultedinanysignificantgrowth
in the number of quality Graduates due to restricted availability of qualified and meritorious faculty.
There is currently a wide gap between qualities of Engineering Education as imparted in various
institutions. The quality of education and training being imparted in the Engineering Education
institutionsvariesfromexcellenttopoor,withsomeinstitutionscomparingfavourablywiththebestin
the world and others suffering from different degrees of handicaps. There is a gap between the
educational standards of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other Engineering institutions.
The few IITs can neither change the fate of the whole country nor improve the entire Engineering
EducationSystem.
Concerted efforts are required to bridge the gap in the quality of education between IITs and other
institutions.TheIITscanactasacatalystinthegrowthofqualityEngineeringEducationinthecountry,
and play a major role in training faculty from other institutions of the country in both teaching and
research.
SomeoftheconcernsinEngineeringEducationSystemare:
a)
Facultyshortage:Themassiveexpansionofinstitutionshasresultedinanacutefacultyshortagein
theinstitutions.InsomeoftheimportantdisciplinessuchasInformationTechnologyandrelated
areas, availability of faculty is dismal as the institutions are not able to attract and retain good
quality faculty due to archaic recruitment and promotion procedures, absence of incentives for
quality performance, and nonexistent faculty development policies in most institutions. Also,
shortageoftrainingopportunitiesandattentiontooverallgrowthoffacultyisadverselyaffecting
impartationofqualityknowledgeandskillstostudents.Thefacultyalsolackcommunicationskills
andpedagogicalskills.
b)
IndustryAcademia collaboration: At present, this collaboration is at a nascent stage. Industry

Academia collaboration involves two key aspectsinputs to curriculum development and
internships for students. Increasing IndustryAcademia collaboration requires: (i) overcoming the
distrust between the two partners; (ii) identification of winwin partnerships in terms of sharing
technicalknowledge;and(iii)provisionofincentivestoinstitutionsandfacultyforcollaboration.
c)
Obsolete learning infrastructure: This prevents the development of handson skills in Industry
relevant technologies. Many institutions have not upgraded their equipment, laboratories, and
learning resources for even more than a decade. There is also absence of timely curriculum
revisions for increasing focus on practical training and quality instructions, research and
development.
d)
Stagnatingresearch:IncreasingresearchthatcaterstotheemergingIndustryandsocietaldemands
for technological solutions results in directly and indirectly improving knowledge and quality of
faculty, which in turn would benefit students. A growing number of Indian firms are keen to
collaborate with academia to enhance their competitiveness in teaching and research. Active
research programmes in Engineering Education institutions would also make meaningful
contributionforsustainabletechnologicaldevelopmentinIndia.
e)
Attracting students to become faculty: The attraction of students to a teaching career depends
upon salary package, perks/facilities and professional career development opportunities.
Industrialsectorsalarieshaveincreasedsignificantlyinthelastfewyearsbuttheincreaseinfaculty
salary with comparable experience is marginal. Furthermore, in many institutions, there is a
probleminprovisionandmaintenanceofstandardamenitiesofhousingaccommodation,medical
attention, good quality schooling for wards on residential campus, etc. The nonavailability of
adequate research funds and quality research students is also a cause of concern in the
professionalgrowthofafaculty.

f)
Imbalance in outputs at Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral levels in engineering disciplines: The
number of Bachelors degree graduates in engineering (BE/BTech) every year has increased
exponentiallyfromabout270in1947to2,37,000in2006whichis12%aspercompoundannual
growthrate(CAGR)asstatedinstudyreportsubmittedbyEnergySystemsEngineering,IITBombay
in the year 2007. However, as compared to Bachelors degree, the Masters output has only
increasedfromabout14,000in2001to20,000in2006,whichis7.5%,andtheDoctoraloutputhas
increasedbyamere2.9%from1985to2005.Thedatapresentedclearlyreflectsthattheoutput
of Engineering Graduates at Bachelor level is disproportionately high in comparison to Masters
level and further higher at the Doctoral level. The under production of Masters and Doctoral
degree holders is now seen to be seriously undermining quality of education (due to high
proportionofunderqualifiedfaculty).

During 1980s, the Government of India (GoI) and the State Governments had felt the need for
revamping the Technician Education System in the country to make it demanddriven with relevant
coursesinnewandemergingtechnologies,withadequateinfrastructureresources,competentfaculty
and effective teachinglearning processes. The Government of India supported 25 State Governments
and Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Puducherry through three Technician
Education Projects during 19912007, financed by the World Bank, which helped to strengthen and
upgradethesystemandbenefited552polytechnics.

(a) AcademicReforms:
(i)
Curricular Reforms: The Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) has suggested that each
institution should exercise innovative approaches in undertaking periodic revision of
curriculum every two to three years and an intensive revision every four to five years
dependingonthedevelopmentsinthesubjectarea.Themainpurposeofrevisionofcurricula
andsyllabiforEngineeringEducationdisciplinesatUGandPGlevelsistoeffectivelyprepare

Industryincurricularreformsisanessentialrequirement.
The Yash Pal Committee Report (2009) on Renovation and Rejuvenation of Higher Education
has also stressed that all syllabi should require the faculty and students to apply what they
have learnt in their course on a local situation, issue or problem. There should be sufficient
roomfortheuseoflocaldataandresourcestomaketheknowledgecoveredinthesyllabus
comealiveasexperience.
Project institutions, which are affiliated to Universities, will need to get the revisions in the
curriculaapprovedbytheCompetentAuthoritiestilltheyattainAutonomousInstitutionstatus.
Institutions, which are autonomous, can carry out the curricula development and revision
themselves by establishing mechanism that would ensure that the curricula meet labour

(ii) Improved Student Performance Evaluation: Evaluation of students has to be done on a

continuousbasis,inordertoprovideopportunitiesforimprovement.Publicationofresultsin
the shortest period and allowing the students to see the evaluated papers are some of the
innovative measures that can be adopted. Students and faculty will benefit largely from this
reformationofstudentevaluationprocess.Thefacultymayidentifytheacademicweaknesses

Industry and to take part in R&D activities in the institution. Institution should prepare at the
beginning of every semester, a faculty engagement chart which should indicate not only the
faculty teaching commitments, but also his/her expected involvement in administration,
Continuing Education, collaborative activities, research and development activities including
curriculumandlaboratorydevelopment,consultancy,etc.Facultyeffortsforgoodachievementsin
this direction should be suitably recognized by the BoG. Institutional efforts for consulting to

levels of Administrative, Financial and Managerial autonomies. The details of the Financial,
ManagerialandAdministrativeautonomiestobeexercisedbyInstitutionsaregiveninAnnexI.
(ii) Establishment of Corpus Fund, Faculty Development Fund, Equipment Replacement Fund and
MaintenanceFund:EstablishmentofthefourFundsisessentialtoensurethatthedevelopmental
activities continue beyond the Project period. It is, therefore, compulsory that all institutions
establish the Four Funds and put substantial amount in each Fund, as per the prescribed
mechanismfromtheinstitutionsownfundsbutnotfromtheprojectfunds(referAnnexI).
(iii) Generation, retention and utilization of revenue generated through variety of activities: In
accordancewiththeeligibilitycriteriaforStatesandUnionTerritories,allprojectinstitutionsare
to be permitted to generate, retain and utilize the entire revenue generated by them including
income from tuition fee and other fees and charges from students. All project institutions are
expected to increase revenue generation from a variety of activities such as conducting self
financing teaching and training programmes, testing services, consultancy and research,
innovations, patents, commercialization of R&D outputs, sharing of hightech equipment with
Industries,publicusageofinfrastructureforacademicactivities,etc.(seeAnnexIfordetails).

(iii) EnhancementofResearch&DevelopmentandInstitutionalConsultancyActivities:
National Knowledge Commission has stated, Research and Development are prerequisites for
teachers in topflight research institutions that supply manpower for research and for
development of cutting edge Industry. All Technical Education institutions are required to
undertake research as a means of renovation and renewal of educational processes with the
primary aim of producing quality manpower capable of taking up R&D functions. Research for
development should focus on improving present technologies, developing indigenous ones and
enhancingproductionandproductivity.
Institutions are required to develop their plans for quantitatively increasing and qualitatively
improving research by their faculty individually, jointly and collaboratively. Institutions need to
secureIndustrysponsoredresearchprojectsalso.
InstitutionsneedtomarkettheirservicestoIndustry.TheIndustryshouldbeencouragedtogive
live problems to the institution for solutions. The faculty who have expertise should be
encouragedtotakeupconsultancyassignments,whichwoulddirectlyandindirectlybenefitthe

someoftheincomeshouldbesharedwithfaculty,staffandstudentsasperthenormsapproved
bytheinstitutionsBoG.Regularinteractionsthroughconsultancyarelikelytopromoteahealthy
and useful relationship between the industries and institutions. Care should be taken that
consultancy services offered to Industry do not affect the teaching schedules and processes.
Institutions need to develop a strategy for enabling faculty to secure consultancy assignments
andtocompletethemtimelyandsuccessfully.
Institutions are also expected to offer Seed grant26 for research to faculty members and / or
studentstoventureintoinnovativeresearchandtostrengthenresearchcultureininstitutions.
Inadditiontotheabove,theinstitutionsmayundertakethefollowing:

SalientFeaturesofaCoE:
TheCoEshouldberelevanttoIndiantechnologicalneedsandhavealongtermvisionofevolving
technologicalrequirementsandchangingnatural/societalconstraints
A Centre of Excellence (CoE) is expected to be a collaborative activity between a team of high

quality researchers in the institution and researchers or research users in several companies or
organizations In cases where the nature of research is partially related to production or
improvementofpublicgoods,collaborationmayincludeappropriatepublicagencies.Inallcases,
however,CoEswillneedtodemonstratethatthemajorityoftheircollaboratorsarefromprivate
firms(ifsuchexistwithinthethematicresearchareas).
The CoE is expected to contribute significantly both to economic advancement and to building a
robust research culture in institutions that is more applied and collaborative in nature. In
particular, the CoE is expected to address emerging industry and societal needs in close
collaboration with industries and users. The scientific merit of the research undertaken is as
importantastherelevancetoeconomicgrowthanddevelopment.
TheCoEisexpectedtofurtherscaleupPostgraduateEducationthroughincreasedenrolmentsfor
Masters and Doctoral programmes in topics closely linked to the thematic areas of the CoE and
therefore closely linked to economic and societal needs. Some of these students could also
undertaketheirresearchwithincollaboratingfirms.
The Centre should join faculty members from several departments around a common research
programme, in which all the collaborating departments are expected to share their physical and
intellectual resources with each other. Evaluation will give greater weight to CoEs that are multi
disciplinaryinnature.
The Centre is expected to trigger an R&D culture in the institutions as evidenced by significant
increase in commercial applications and research outputs, collaborative and sponsored research,
publications, in reputed national/international journals and conferences, patents, innovations,
commercializedproductsandPhDenrolments.
The Centre is expected to increase collaboration with National and International academic and

6.3
Strategy:
It is essential to ensure that the Project funds received by an Institution are used only for the
purpose for which given, with due regard to economy, efficiency and sustainable achievement
of the Projects objectives.
For regular monitoring of actual financial position, daily accounting of Books of Accounts is
required. The Books of Account for the Project are to be maintained using doubleentry
bookkeeping principles. Also, standard books of account (Cash and Bank Books, Journals,
Ledgers etc) are to be maintained at the SPFUs and the project institutions.
The disbursement of funds to the project institutions will be based on the quarterly Financial
Monitoring Report (FMR), which includes comparison of budgeted and actual expenditure and
analysis of major variances.
Release of funds to all entities will be accounted for as Advance in the Books of Accounts and
treated as expenditure only upon submission of expenditure information through FMR.
Release of funds to faculty, staff and suppliers will be accounted for as Advance in the Books of
Accounts and treated as expenditure only upon submission of expenditure bills.
6.4
Fund Flow:
The fund flow pattern for the Project will be as follows:
At the State level the Department responsible for Technical Education will annually prepare a
budget for entire 100% expenditure for all the Statesponsored Institutions and the SPFU and
obtain the necessary approval of the State Legislature. The budget will be provided under the
Head Centrally Sponsored Scheme in the State budget.
Each CFI will annually prepare a budget for entire expenditure under the Project.
The forecast of expenditure by CFIs and States will be forwarded to the MHRD and accordingly
the advances will be provided by it to participating CFIs and States by budget approval in the
Parliament.
MHRD will straightaway release the funds to CFIs based on the Financial Monitoring Reports
(FMRs).
MHRD will release the Central Government share to States through GoI channels and funds will
be received in the respective State Treasury.
State Finance Department will make the allocations based on the approved budget estimate of
the Department responsible for Technical Education in the State.
The Principal Secretary/Secretary of the Department responsible for the Technical Education in
the State will accord administrative sanction for incurring the expenditure for the allocated
amount.
The Treasury will give the budget authorization.
The Director of Technical Education/Commissioner of Technical Education/or equivalent officer,
will submit the bill to the Treasury (Pay & Accounts Office) after (i) the administrative sanction
and (ii) the budget authorization.
The amount then will be credited by the treasury into the Personnel Deposit Account
(PDA)/Personal Ledger Account (PLA) opened in favour of The Director of Technical
Education/Commissioner of Technical Education/or equivalent officer, in any Nationalized Bank
for further operation of funds.
The SPFU will receive the funds through cheque in a commercial bank account opened for the
Project from the Director of Technical Education/Commissioner of Technical Education/or
equivalent officer.
The project institutions will receive the funds from the SPFU through cheque in a commercial
bank account opened for the Project.
The Private Unaided Institutions will deposit its 20% share into the bank account and submit the
Certificate received from the bank to the SPFU and only after that, the SPFU will release 80%
share (60% Central Share and 20% state share) to the Private Unaided Institutions accordingly.
83
TEQIPII
6.5
The project institutions will submit Financial Monitoring Report (FMR) quarterly to the SPFU.
The SPFU will consolidate the FMR of all its project institutions and itself will submit the
consolidated FMR to the NPIU. FMR will provide expenditure information for the previous
quarter and a forecast of expenditure to be made in the next six months.
CFIs will send FMR to the NPIU.
The NPIU will submit consolidated FMR of all States and CFIs and also of the NPIU to CAAA and
the World Bank.
The expenditure reported in FMR will be finally confirmed subject to its certification in the
Annual Audit Reports for each State/CFIs and the NPIU.
Timely submission of FMR by States/CFIs is mandatory for further disbursement of the grant by
MHRD which is 45 days at the close of each quarter.
The World Bank will make disbursements on the basis of FMR to GoI. Funds will be disbursed in
a special account with the Reserve Bank of India, Central Accounts Section, operated by the
Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) of the Government of India. The disbursement will be
determined as the Forecast expenditure less Funds available. Funds available are defined as
opening balances less reported expenditure.
Electronic Financial Monitoring Report (eFMR):

The Financial Monitoring Reports (FMRs) are to be submitted electronically. A software has been
developed to enable all the project institutions, the SPFUs and the NPIU to enter the FMRs electronically
through online access of a website. The data required for FMRs would be entered into the software by
each individual project institution and which then will be consolidated by the software. The FMR
generated by the software shall be shared with the World Bank for disbursements. A user manual for
the software will be made available separately.
6.6

Toensurethatallstudentsandfacultyintheprojectinstitutionshaveequalopportunitytoavailthe

9.2
Scope:
AllprojectinstitutionswillberesponsibletoensureadherencetotheEquityActionPlan(EAP).
9.3
Strategy:
Every institution faces a different challenge to improve academic performance. In addition to the
caliberofstudentsinaninstitution,itsmanagement,teachingforce,andactionstoremedystudents
difficultieshaveabearingonstudentperformance.TheProjectinstitutionsaretomakeActionPlans
to improve learning outcomes for students and employability of graduates. They are required to
allocatebudgeteveryyeartoAcademicSupportforWeakStudents.Theprojectaimstoensurethat
allparticipatinginstitutionsimprovethetransitionrateofFirstYear(enrolled)studentstotheSecond
Year(akeyperformanceindicatoroftheproject).Institutionaltargetsaresetforallstudentsaswell
asSC,ST,OBCandWomenstudents.Achievementmustbemaintainedduringsubsequentyearsso
thathighqualificationratesareachievedbyeveryinstitution.
The NPIU and the SPFUs will assess the efforts of project institutions in the implementation of the
Equity Action Plan to ensure equity at all levels in the project institutions. All Institutions should
include Institutional EAP in their Institutional Development Proposals. The EAP should be a part of
eachInstitutionsMoUwiththeconcernedprojectauthorities.
9.4
ActivitiesofEquityActionPlanforImprovingAcademicPerformanceofweakstudentsthrough
innovativemethods:
Weakstudentsmaybethosewhofailmorethan40or50percentoftheirsubjectsinagivenyear,
lose a year or more during their degree programme, or get low marks. Some students may fail to
secure employment at the end of their degree programme because of overall low performance or
inadequateskillsatthecompletionofthecourse.Someofthereasonsfortheseweaknessesare:low
entry level marks (i.e., inadequate preparedness for the rigorous engineering curriculum), irregular
attendanceofclasses,lackofselfconfidence,lowproficiencyinthemediumofinstruction(English)or
eveninthemainvernacularlanguage.Veryoftenweakstudentsdonotcommunicatetheirdifficulties
anddonotseekhelp.
The participating institutions must ensure that all students perform well academically and achieve
theirpostcollegegoalsi.e.securinggoodjobsorenteringpostgraduatecourses,accordingtotheir
choice,suitedtotheircapabilities,andinlinewiththeeducationtheyhavereceived.Institutionsmust
also ensure that all the faculty be trained in Pedagogy particularly to improve the performance of
weakstudents.
Somepossibleinterventionstoimprovetheperformanceofweakstudentsaregivenbelow:
(i)
DiagnosingStudentWeaknessesandTrackingPerformance.Adiagnostictestwhenstudentsenter
the college can supplement knowledge of their entry marks. Properly devised tests provide
informationaboutspecificareaswhereastudentisweak,andthereforewhatadditionalcoachingis
required. They can identify which topics need to be emphasized by the subject teacher for the
student group. Such tests can be particularly helpful before tough subjects begin each semester,
and efforts made to strengthen teaching, and/or provide extra teaching. Reviewing student
attendance in connection with performance and advising students to attend classes and make up
missedclassesisalsouseful.
(ii)
Improving Performance in Academic Subjects. To help students deal with specific academic
weaknesses, remedial classes either during the semester or during vacations is helpful. Another
approach is to provide a slot or period when no classes are held but teachers are available to help
studentsaddresstheirweaknesses.Extrainputscouldalsobeprovidedinmoreinnovativewayssuch
as: tutorial classes where students interact with each other and also with a faculty / PG student. A
Academic Support Programme could also be organized . Such programme provides extra classes,
notesandguidancewhereteachersareavailabletostudentsformallyandinformally.

7. StudentPerformanceEvaluation:
Student Performance Evaluation is generally of two types: Summative and Formative. The Summative
onescarrymarks/gradesandleadtothestudentsfinalperformancegrading,whiletheFormativeones
are used to encourage the student to do better by pointing out their weakness/mistakes and advising
themhowtoperformbetter.Suchevaluationsareinstrumentalinreallearningpromotionsincetheseare

TheQualityemphasismustinspireamarkedimprovementfocusedapproach.
Thus,anewprocessmustbeevolvedwiththisfocusinmind.Thismaybeadaptedtobring
aboutimprovementfocusedreform.
Students and faculty will benefit largely from this reformation of student evaluation
process. It must be redesigned to improve formative inputs as well. The faculty may
decidetoleadbyexamplebygivingexamplesofhowtoanswersomemocktests.
TheFormativeevaluationmustbeusedtohelpthestudentstoimprovetheirperformance
by pointing out the areas of potential improvement, related to various deficiencies and
weaknessesidentifiedbythefacultyinvariousformsoftests/assessments.
The examples of using Formative approach are giving open and closedbook mock tests,
mock assignments, mock quizzes, mock presentations, orals, individual and group
assignments,etc.Notethatthesearenotmeantforstudentevaluationforgrading.These
aretobeusedforidentifyingtheareasforimprovement.
Such Formative evaluations are useful in real learning promotion, as it is not used for
grading purposes. A brainstorming by faculty with students can help to identify various
Formativeoptionsthatmayaddsignificantvalueaddition.Itshouldbemadeamplyclear
tothestudentsthatFormativetestsareforimprovementonly.
While Summative evaluation involves marks and/or grade assessment (present practice),
theFormativeonesmustbeusedtoencouragethestudentstoperformbetter.
A combination of Formative and Summative (grading/marks) will help to keep track of

improvement in performance. The faculty and students need to selfassess how the
formativeinputsarebeneficial.
For a reliable and robust evaluation process a number of summative tests must be
taken(morethan3suggested)duringeachsemester.
Transparency, fairness, consistency and accountability in grading must be ensured. The

aggrievedstudentmaybeallowedtoseetheevaluation.
The tests must have components like fundamentals of academics, industry relevant
problems and innovative questionnaire/creativity development challenges. More the

b) Steps:
Organize regular workshops for the faculty, to sensitize them towards Total Quality
Management as applied to Education. It is important to change the conventional mindset
from inspection to a quality improvement mindset. Performance evaluation is both
Summative(measure)andFormative(improve).
Thereshouldbesomesummativeandmany(greatervarietyof)formativeevaluations.The
variety may include identifying how students approach various types of problems
(quantitative, qualitative, logical reasoning, etc). Even the presentation approach may be

8. Performanceappraisaloffacultybystudentsandfacultycounselling:
This is a very useful tool in improving teaching effectiveness. The purpose of this evaluation should be
clearly understood. The main purpose should be to help a faculty to improve his/her teaching/learning
management skills. Both, the assessment by students and the counselling followed by such assessment
aretohelpafacultyrecognizehis/herweaknessandremedythemtoimprovethelearningofstudents.
There are various variations of the frequency of such assessments. Weaknesses in delivery, lack of
interactivity,emphasisonselflearningandchoiceofassignmentscanallberemediediftheassessmentis

students taking the same course (by noting what portions require more emphasis, what additional
knowledge skills and applications to be included). A combination of an initial assessment and an exit
assessment along with a midterm assessment would be the ideal solution as this would allow self

their promotion or vertical mobility. They must be assured that this is not the purpose and in any case
since promotion opportunities occur only once in five years, counselling would have improved the
assessmentgradingofeventhepoorestfacultyoverthisperiod.
a)
SalientPoints:
This is a very useful tool in improving teaching effectiveness. It is important to re

emphasize, that the basic purpose is to help the faculty improve without feeling
threatenedaboutjoblossorpromotion,etc.
Preferably there must be three stages for faculty evaluationEarly (by 1 month),
MidCourse(by23months)andFinal(byendofcourse).
Thefirsttwoshouldbeutilizedformidcoursecorrectionstohelpfacultytobecomemore
effective.
The final assessment is aimed at both assessing the improvements as well as collecting
feedbackthatmaybeusefulforfuturedeliveryofthecoursebythefaculty.
Faculty must be taken into confidence during each assessment and the benefits to the
faculty and students and the improvement in quality of education should be well
explained.

TheHoDmayappointasuitableCounsellor(e.g.someoneseniorenough/highlyrespectful

Improvementinteachingmaybemonitoredandresultssharedwiththefaculty.
b) Steps:
Developformatsforstudentfeedbackregardingtheassessmentofafacultyonacourse.
Some benchmarks of IITsystem Feedback Forms may be suitably adopted to individual
contexts.
Similarly, develop the faculty selfassessment formats. This should have important
teaching parameters including use of teaching aids, development of course file,
accessibility of faculty, summary of formative work done by him/her, syllabus covered,
beyondsyllabusefforts,typesoftestsgiven,mandaysdevotedtoformativeefforts,etc.
Promotefacultyselfassessmentandfacilitatefacultysselfimprovementefforts.Thismay
need sharing of improvement areas, joining special courses, etc. But never use negative
methods to pressurize faculty. The focus must remain selfimprovement. So approach
mustbemotivationalandconstructive.
Plantocollectthecomprehensivestudentsfeedbackforfacultyevaluation(atleastthree
timespersemester):
Early (by 1 month) i.e. macro level feedback on the basis of knowledge, skills,
attitudeandvalues.

the course contents, delivery and teachinglearning process. Student suggestions
mayhelpinmidsemestercorrections.
Final (by endofcourse) detailed feedback regarding achievement of objectives,
knowledgeskillsandimprovementsneededfurther.
141
c)
Counselling recommendation on the basis of class performance of students and their

feedback. The management skills and participation in other institutional activities must
also be taken into account. These inputs are not for promotion, etc. Ensure that the
assessmentisforthepurposeofimprovementandnotforpromotions,increments,etc.

9. IncentivizationofFacultyforContinuingEducation,Consultancy,ResearchandDevelopment,etc.:
All faculty should be encouraged to participate in organizing and/or contributing to, and attending
ContinuingEducation(CE)Programmes,toofferconsultancytoIndustryandtotakepartinResearchand
Development (R&D) activities in the institution. Institutions should prepare, at the beginning of every

1. Introduction:
SWOT,isananalysismethod,whichisusedinstrategicplanningfortheinstitutionsandconsistsofthe
initiallettersofconceptsofStrengths,Weaknesses,OpportunitiesandThreats.
Strategicplanning is aprocess in which futureaims are determined together with the stakeholders and
responsibilitiesandresourcesareallocatedinaccordancewiththesefutureaims.Itisaprocessbetween
thepointsaninstitutionstandspresentlyandthepointsittriestoreachinacertainperiodoftime.The
concept of strategic planning is closely related with the concept of foresight. In this regard, strategic
planning can be considered as the collection of systematic efforts of experts for the best choice of the
future.
Theaimofstrategicplanningistoproduceplannedfacilities,embodytheappointedpolicies,followthe
application efficiently and take the initiative and provide for effective participation. In the process of
strategicplanning,someofthefundamentalquestionsareneededtobeanswered.ThoseareWhereare

TheroleofSWOTanalysisistotaketheinformationfromtheenvironmentalscanandseparateit
into internal and external issues. SWOT analysis determines if the information indicates
something that will assist the institution in accomplishing its objectives or if it indicates an
obstaclethatmustberemovedorminimizedtoachievedesiredresults.
SWOTanalysisisscalable,collaborative,integrateable,simpleandcostefficient.
3. StepstoconductaSWOTAnalysis:
i) TeamworkandStakeholderParticipation:
The first step involves setting up a team of the key stakeholders of the institution to carry out the
consultations/brainstorming. The team essentially has to be participatory and should encourage all
participants to be candid and constructive. Involving maximum students, faculty and staff in the
brainstorming will help to bring out information, determine the most important Strengths,
Weaknesses,OpportunitiesandThreats,andprioritizetheactions.
Thebrainstormingmaybecarriedoutinseparategroupsofstudents,usinganappropriatefacilitator
foreachgroup.Alternatively,theinternalStrengthsandWeaknessescouldbeidentifiedseparatelyby
eachgroupandbroughttogethertodiscusstheexternalOpportunitiesandThreats,andtheStrategic
Planning.Foraverylargeinstitution,theSWOTanalysismaybedonedepartmentwisetorevealthe

StrategicPlanning:
a) Strengths: The Strengths can be identified by thinking in terms of capabilities, recognition,

competitive advantages, resources, assets, people (experience, knowledge, their culture, values,
attitudes and behaviors), innovative aspects, marketing, quality of programmes, location,
accreditations,qualifications,certifications,andprocesses/systemsthroughthefollowing:

b) Weaknesses: The Weaknesses can be identified by thinking in terms of disadvantages, gaps in

capabilities; lack of competitive strength, reputation, financial, timescales/deadlines, weak core
activities, distractions, morale, leadership, accreditations, continuity, robustness and
processes/systemsthroughthefollowing:
Internal forces that could serve as a barrier to maintain or achieve a competitive

The classification of some factors as Strengths or Weaknesses, or as Opportunities or Threats is
