Part-IV- Recommendations

A. General observations and suggestions

(Please avoid repetitions of the points mentioned above)

The total number of institution established by the Society is three. The Society is financially
strong and seems able to assisting the university even in adverse time. Even a foundation is
started having equity of the order of 42 billion dollars, Iargest in the world.
The institution is located in a central area in Kolkata and established by persons with experience
running educational institutions has been able to attract experienced, qualified faculty' The
lnstitution is using 'Modular Objective Orient Dynamic Learning Environment' (MODULE)
which is innovative.

However, it is noted that in the institution, started in 2013, in the current year, the student's
strength in admission has dropp ed by 40%. The institutions is running a number of UG & PG
programs and the student strength is quite a few programs is low, making it unviable for offering
these programs effectively. The institution may consolidate some of these programs, initially,
and then gradually diversifu.
The faculty strength is as per AICTE/ACI/Bar Council of India. The cadre ratio is as a whole is
12.5:l,which is quite satisfactory. The faculty is qualified and retention ratio is also satisfactory.

B. Operations recommendations, which require satisfactory compliance by the University

before issue of Approval Letter.

1. An additional new building, built in the play ground area earrnarked in the site, needs to be

regularized by due approval ofthe statutory body.

2. The basement and ground floor of the main block has a built up area more than the approved
plan. Further this area, earrnarked as parking space is now being used as classrooms. This
deviation also needs to be regularizedby the due statutory body.
り

The faculty strength, with proper cadre ratio, for each department must be duly approved by
，

the board of governors. Then the posts should be notified and with a proper selection
committee selection shall be made.. The faculty selection made, including regularizing the
already appointed faculty, who hold qualifications as per norms.

4. Board of studies with experts for each programs should be constituted and the syllabus of the
all programs should be reviewed/ratified.
