Brintha Theresa ma’am discussed IoE, mainly talked about how to reach in the first 500 university list worldwide. 

THe following are the outline

  1. What is accreditation and ranking

  2. Why accreditation is required in an institution

  3. Accreditation and ranking agencies

Ranking and accreditation are different.Both provide information about the institute to different people or students , policy makers, employees etc

The main difference is that ranking provide a rank with respect to other but accreditation rate HEIs independent of other


Accreditation and ranking helps the HEI to maintain its quality

Ranking done by independent agencies

ABET, NAAC QS star- Accreditation agencies

QS, THE, NIRF, Career 360, The week, india today -- Ranking agencies


QS is a world ranking agency

These factors carres different weightage while calculating the overall score

Key Indicators



Components of accreditation

Graphical representation



NAAC Evaluation Parameter

VIT is going for the fourth phase of NAAC accreditation and hence we need 3.51 or above to reach A++



IoE


Aim is to reach in the first best 500 worldwide rank


More freedom, autonomy


Public universities will get  1000 Cr like IIT but private will not get funding 

Everyone's contribution is important and hence we need to enter the details such as funding, publication etc in the portal

Initially it is a big burden but once we could reach there will be benefits



Internal Quality assurance cell



Proposed by NAAC

Composition of IQAC


Collation and maintenance

Preparation of reports

Analysis of data



Academic audit parameters

37 files in all the departments

Such as industry talk, work load, future plan etc


There will be internal audit and external audit



For each file there will be one file manager person and one rack manager

There is one persoon for each file and in each school there will be one faculty for all the files and different schools heads for different schools etc



Mam explained what are the criteria for getting the ranking

 Like QS, NAAC , QS etc and what are the  contribution needed from faculty is explained 



Finally she explained the things with some nice cartoon like slides 

Overall it  was a nice talk very informative generally we will not get it from faculties

 We heard about different ranking and all but never aware about the factors that are used for ranking and all

Proctoring : A case study

Proctoring : A case study By Saradha Rajkumar Dt - 29-06-202 (FN1)   1.           Several questions about a proctor are discussed by the speaker. 2.           There are different types of proctees with whom we are going to interact on a daily basis. 3.           First case study is about a first year student making a mess during her course registration. There are few positive approaches discussed by the speaker to handle such types of unwanted situations a proctor may come across. 4.           Second case study is regarding a girl complaining about self-consciousness (like everyone watching her). But the proctor made a mistake by ignoring this complaint. Because this is a psychological problem, then the proctor should have taken the help of a professional psychologist to solve this type of p...

Blue Ocean Strategy for VIT’s growth

Session notes on ‘Blue Ocean Strategy for VIT’s growth’ by Dr.Anand A.Samuel, Vice-Chancellor Date:26.06.2020       We have to benchmark our institution like IITs, IISCs, and the world’s top universities. We should plan to catch them in 5 years (faster pace).   Like a mouse inside a mousetrap, we should not panic about some uncertain situation. We should think for a while to overcome such a difficult situation. Once we come out of our anxiety, and other personal barriers, we will get the strength to handle it.   MASLOW’s Hierarchy of needs: Physiological, Safety, Belonging, Esteem, Self-Estimation- all these need to be fulfilled for entering into innovation mode.   In our cultural iceberg, some are easy to see whereas some are difficult. Some of our beliefs and assumptions may not be accepted according to our university norms. All of us should be involved in doing Admin, Research, Teaching, Extension activities in various pro...
