Dean (Acad.) looks after the academic timetable and its implementation and monitoring of all academic activities of the Institute as per the university requirements.

The Director holds review meetings on monthly basis or as required and decisions are collectively taken on the issues pertaining to the improvement and functioning of the Institute. In-turn, the Heads of the Departments conduct monthly faculty meetings within respective departments and obtain the details pertaining to academic, non-academic and any student-related problems. Also, all the teachers are student counselors and they are in constant touch with the students through weekly meetings. The information collected by them is passed on to HODs who in turn appraise the Deans and the Director. Thus, the administration is transparent and trust-worthy and facilitates smooth conduct and functioning of the Institute.

g. Student Feed-back on Institutional Governance/Faculty Performance

The Director obtains the feedback about teachers, regularly from the students in a prescribed format. In case of any shortcomings observed either in the quality of teaching or attitude, the teacher is suitably advised. The Director also takes feedback from the students regarding any difficulty or inconvenience faced by them and the issues are sorted out in consultation with Deans, HODs and Wardens.
