Hello Sir/Madam where is your OBE-based Faculty Course Planning File ?
Hello Sir/Madam where is your OBE-based Faculty Course Planning File ? Ans “I have one but it not so good. It is also not OBE process-driven. It is indeed not worth boasting about it. Actually, I didn’t get enough time to plan my next course. Summer vacations were few and then there was a lot […]

Like to reset growth trajectory of your university ?
Many Higher education institutes keep growing and only a few perish. Some however, grow miserably slow and manage to survive. Often the reason for such a poor state is the lack of missionary zeal and commitment of the founders and the Heads of Institution. Quite a few plough out a larger share of students fee […]
Heads of IQACs and the Yawning Gaps in Quality
One IQAC that truly impressed me was the IQAC at CVRU Khandwa. It is mentored by the VC himself who has had significant exposure to quality in his various assignments in India and abroad.

Do you have HOD, Principal and VC Dashboard ? Or you think ERP is good enough?

Institutes should dare to implement the NEP-driven and UGC notified reforms
There were some institutions in India like BITS Pilani who showed the way on how to dare and implement education reforms. BITS went on to launch WILP programs decades ago what MIT did in the USA. I learnt this only when I started reviewing and revising BITS WILP programs 6 years ago that it had […]
Grossly ignored Academic priorities in some Private Universities requiring improvements
A number of institutions fed on unfair practices have grown into big fat universities. No less, some of the meat exporters in global markets are amongst the richest in India. You must be wondering why am I drawing a parallel as this ! All I want to say is that people do succeed even when […]
