Examination and Research are given administrative freedom in their respective
domains. For instance, the Examination Section is given full autonomy to draw
the Examination Schedule, setting of question papers, evaluation, and
declaration of results and issuing of mark statements and certificates.
Likewise, the Research Section admits students by conducting entrance test, and
conducting Doctoral Committee Meeting, plagiarism check of both thesis and
research articles before they are submitted / sent for publication. In this
way, the functions of examination section and research section are
decentralized. In both academic and administrative domains, the decisions are
taken democratically through participative management. For instance, in the
Board of Studies, internal academic experts, external experts from academia,
industries / professional bodies participate when deciding the curriculum.
Student representatives are also invited as special invitees. Similarly, the
Academic Council has internal academic experts besides the representatives from
industries / professional bodies and eminent academicians from outside. All
other non-statutory committees such as Anti-Ragging Committee, Internal
Complaints Committee against Sexual Harassment, Student Grievance Redressal
Committee and Equal opportunity Cell have student representatives. As such, the
institution practices decentralization, delegation and participative management
in all its academic and administrative domains with letter and spirit.
