APPENDIX- D

RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR CONSULTANCY

1. Institutions should actively encourage and support the
faculty in taking up consultancy (and testing) work.
Teachers should actively liaise with industry to attract
projects, particularly those which have elements of
industrial problems solving, student involvement and
educative value.
2. There wold not be any limit n the quantum of consultancy
work a teacher can take up or the remuneration he can
earn, so long as this is done with the concurrence of the
Competent Authority and without prejudice to the other
duties and responsibilities of the teacher or to the interest
of the institution and the students. While working out
the fees/charges for carrying out the consultancy project,
suitable methods of estimation should be used. These
would include either -
a) Fixing a percentage of the total cost of project, as in
the case of Architectural projects, Structural
Engineering design projects etc. or
b) Estimates worked out on the basis of required man-
hour input at different levels and expenditure to be
incurred on purchase of materials, use of outside
labor, use of outside consultants, computer charges
etc.
Suitable charges for overheads up to 15% should be
added to the cost estimated as above, to cover indirect
costs such as use of electricity, building space, stationery
etc. This amount should go to the revenue account of the
institution.
3. There are two major types of consultancy assignments
generally undertaken by faculty. Type-I involves
participation of a teacher or group of teachers who use
institutional infra structural facilities such as workshop,
laboratories, computers, etc. for the work. Type-II involve
participation of teacher(s) without using any institutional
infrastructure. In both cases, there generally is some
direct expenditure involved consisting of purchase of
material, use of our side labor/expertise, etc.
4. A suggested pattern for the sharing of the net revenue
(after meeting all expenses and remitting the 15%
overhead to the revenue account of the institution) from
consultancy work is as given below:


17
17
Consultancy Project of Type-I
a) 50% to the Development Fund of the Institution
b) 50% to be shared by the team involved with the work
including supporting staff.
Consultancy Project Type II
a) 30% to the Development Fund of the Institution
b) 70% to be shared by the team involved with the work
5. The Development Fund share should be placed at the
disposal of the Head of the Institution for use towards the
development of the institution and its facilities, subject to
normal procedures.
6. The disbursement of all the remuneration should be the
responsibility of the Head of the Institution. To facilitate
this, the requirement in some Government Institutes to
have the revenue deposited in the treasury first should be
done away with. Such a requirement should be only with
the respect to the 15% share going to the revenue
account.
