GAYA: Having completed the three day long exercise to examine the academic worth of MU, the peer team of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, held discussion with university Vice Chancellor Prof Md Ishtiaq and presented a copy of the report to the VC with the rider that the report has to remain confidential till the formal award of grade to the university.
Though the report remains confidential, going by the body langsuage of the team members and off the cuff remarks made during the three days long inspection, the university, according to sources, was likely to get B grade with CGPA between 2 and 3 on a four point scale.
Confirming the receipt of the report, VC Prof Md Ishtiaq said that he was duty bound to maintain the report's confidentiality and as such he expressed his inability to throw any light on the matter. Asked about his expectation, the VC said that he expected good grading by the team. On being asked what he meant by good grading, the VC said that apparently it meant A grade.
According to sources, Whereas the team, by and large appeared to be satisfied with the university's get up with fresh coat of paint, floor tiles, sanitation level and general upkeep, the team members were critical of the faculty shortage, lack of quality research, improper utilisation of human and financial resources, out dated courses of studies, non teaching assignments for teachers, too much concentration of power in too few hands, deficient evaluation mode and less involvement of stake holders in the decision making process etc.
Led by Prof MM Salunkhe, Vice Chancellor Yashvant Rao Chauhan Mahrashtra open university, the team included K Nirupa Rani, former VC Adi Kavi Nannaya University, Andhra Pradesh and MY Khan, Dean School of Bio Sciences and Bio Technology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Rae Bareilli.
NAAC status will ultimately decide the eligibility of the University to grants and other assistance provided by funding agencies including the UGC.
During the three days long stay, NAAC members extensively examined the university's record and infrastructure to assess its academic and allied worth. The team members award points on a set of parameters to examine the innovating teaching methods, faculty strength, physical infrastructure, academic activities, quality of research, curriculum design utilisation of resources, future planning, past performance and sundry other things.
The committee, according to sources, recorded with disapproval the continuation of retired teachers with little domain knowledge heading vocational courses requiring innovative approach, out of box thinking faculty. They are reported to have favoured inflow of fresh blood with novel ideas and energy. The committee is also reported to have the apparent contradictions of conventional and vocational mode teaching and lack of uniformity and standardisation in the vocational mode teaching.
