Guidelines for Autonomous Colleges, COSIP, COHSSIP and Computers to Colleges

Abstract

From Need for Autonomy: The system of affiliating the colleges to a university was designed at a time when the number of colleges and universities was small. The universities acted as examining bodies and awarded degrees on behalf of the colleges. The colleges looked towards the universities for any changes in the education system and curricula. The academic decisions also need quicker pace for making innovations and designing curricula and methods more relevant to the area in which an institution works. The affiliating system does not allow the required freedom to the colleges to meet the demands cast upon them.
