Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP).Guidelines on Implementation of Reforms.

Abstract

Specific instructions have already been issued on academic autonomy and what is expected from Lead and Network Institutions. University and Deemed Universities are fully autonomous in all areas except for financial control often exercised by Government/Management to ensure accountability. As long as the local Board of Management is empowered to spend the sanctioned budget and re-appropriate if absolutely necessary under advice from Finance committee and under specified guidelines, the autonomy concept is preserved. Autonomous colleges under a University exercise full academic autonomy except for the Award of Degrees, which is under the University. Affiliated Colleges have to be given autonomous college status for the purposes of this Project. All Institutions are required to have local Board of Management/Governors with full powers for administrative, managerial and financial decisions subject to any guidelines gives by the Government for accountability.
