4. Resource Mobilization: Assisting in securing external funding, grants, and resources to support departmental initiatives, research projects, and infrastructure development.
5. Stakeholder Engagement: Engaging with alumni, industry experts, faculty, students, and other stakeholders to gather feedback, insights, and recommendations for continuous improvement and advancement of the department’s goals and objectives.

Program Assessment and Quality Improvement Committee (PAQIC)

The departmental academic committee is responsible for smooth functioning and monitoring of all academic activities.

Composition

• Head of the department – Convenor
• Three senior faculty members in the department nominated by HOD – Members

Members to the PAQIC (UG) will be opted covering each specialization of the department. In very small departments one or more faculty members of other departments may be opted by the HOD with approval of Dean of Academic. One or more external members may be opted by the Convener, PAQIC on specific occasions such as making the syllabus for value added courses. The tenure of the departmental academic committee shall be two years. The composition of the DAC shall need approval of the Principal. The present composition of the PAQIC is as follows

Roles and Responsibilities of PAQIC

• Decide the course structure, detailed syllabus of value added courses and select suitable MOOC courses from SWAYAM Portal and other virtual platforms.
• Assign teaching duties to the faculty and to make the facilities available for quality of teaching.
• Allocation of faculty mentors to the new batch of students admitted.
• Review the cases of slow / weak students and decide appropriate action in advance in coordination with faculty mentors.
• Monitoring continuously by the student’s performance and take necessary actions.
• Guide faculty members towards ensuing continuous evaluation.
• Ensuring discipline among students.
• Facilitating and supervising the co-curricular and extracurricular activities of the students.

The PAQIC will meet at least once in a month. Faculty mentors and other members of the faculty may be invited to meetings when necessary. The PAQIC will seek and review the reports of all course handling faculty and faculty mentors and submit its reports to HOD for remedial action if so needed. The PAQIC’s recommendations may, if situation so demands to be discussed and amended by a meeting of the total faculty in a department.

Course Expert Team (CET)

The course expert team is responsible in exercising the central domain of expertise in developing and renewing the curriculum and assessing its quality and effectiveness to the highest of professional standards.
