EQUITY ACTION PLAN

UNDER COMPONENT 1.2 AS ATU

BIJU PATNAIK UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY,


ODISHA
OBJECTIVE OF EAP

To ensure that all students and faculty in the


project institutions have equal opportunity to avail
of the benefits of the project with substantial
improvement in the performance of students who
need greater assistance.
Scope:

All project assisted institutions will be


responsible for preparing and
implementing the Equity Action Plan (EAP)
as an integral part of project
implementation for TEQIP-III.
Strategy:

 The Project institutions are to make Equity Action Plans (EAP) to improve
learning outcomes for students and employability of graduates with special
attention to the needy ones including those from the SC and ST categories.
 The project aims to ensure that all participating institutions improve the
transition rate of First Year (enrolled) students to the Second Year (a key
performance indicator of the project).
 Institutional targets are set for all students with special attention to socially
and economically underprivileged groups including SC, ST, OBC and
Women students. Achievement must be maintained during subsequent
years so that high graduation rates are achieved by every institution.
 The NPIU and the SPIUs will assess the efforts of project institutions in the
implementation of the Equity Action Plan to ensure equity at all levels in the
project institutions.
Strategy(Contd..):

 Institutions need to identify and support students who need extra support.
 Various criteria might be used to identify the students in need, including for
example, those who fail more than 40 or 50 percent of their subjects in a
given year, lose a year or more during their degree programme, or
consistently get low marks.
 Some students may fail to secure employment at the end of their degree
programme because of overall low performance or inadequate skills at the
completion of the course.
 Some of the reasons for these weaknesses are: low entry level marks (i.e.,
inadequate preparedness for the rigorous engineering curriculum), irregular
attendance of classes, low self confidence, weak language skills in English,
which is the medium of instruction or even in the main vernacular language.
Strategy(Contd..):

 In addition, students may not do well because of a number


of institutional factors, including vacancies in faculty and
technical staff positions
 deficiencies in faculty teaching skills,
 lack of library facilities or restricted opening times,
 poor academic support, inadequate student support
services,
 lack of effective monitoring of student performance, or
regular feedback to students, inadequate hostel facilities,
poor quality placement offices, etc.
Strategy(Contd..):
