QUESTIONS
A PRIMARY ACCOUNTABILITIES
A1 Has the Governing Body
approved the institutional
strategic vision, mission
and plan - identifying a
clear development path
for the institution through
its long-term business
plans and annual budgets?
GRADE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
2  Vision & Mission statements are evolved
through a strategic plan by the institute
faculty and they have been displayed on
college website and lesson plans given to
students. However formal approval by
the GC has not been taken.
 These were discussed in the Governing
Council as part of information agenda
presented by the Principal. These were
discussed and approved, however they
were not documented formally as
part of the minutes of the meeting.
 Annual budgets are approved by the GC

an organization would put in place to guide development
(to move from current state to desired state)

It Includes
• Strategic measurable Goals / Objectives
• Activities
• Time line
• Criteria for evaluation (whether or not the goals
were actually met.)
• Person (s) responsible
TEQIP-II Our Learning
• It is observed that TEQIP Program is viewed only
as a means of Upgrading the Laboratories and
Faculty to help improve the quality of Education

• Program also aims at building institutional

capability by adapting Good practices and
processes.

• This will help the institutions to sustain and grow

the improvements beyond the project periods
Challenges
• IRG through industrial consultancy
• Growing interdisciplinary centers of excellence
• Enhancing research focus and IPR.
• To Increase support to weak students and not
placed students to enhance employment
opportunity.
• Strengthening promotion of entrepreneurship in
student community

• Continuation of Autonomous Status / Permanent

Affiliation Delayed, resulting in postponement of
accreditation process by NBA
