Trichy: The FICCI higher education summit held in New Delhi has declared the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Trichy as 'The University of the Year'.
Director of NIT-T, Mini Shaji Thomas received the award, on Thursday night at the summit, from Dr Anil Sahasrabuddhe, AICTE chairman, in the presence of professor emeritus M M Sharma, Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai.
FICCI adopted an elaborate two stage screening process for selecting the top institutes for the awards. The first stage consisted of online application followed by shortlisting institutes based on their merits and a final jury evaluation based on a face-to-face presentation, said a press release from NIT-T.
Evaluation parameters included curriculum & pedagogy (changes in coursework to accommodate trends, global standard in education imparted), technology (effective use of leading-edge technologies for pedagogy and curriculum delivery, use of technology for daily administrative activities), research (patents, research output flow, funds procured employability), institutional social responsibility, students (development of students, outreach to new students) and faculty (ability to adapt to change, professional development, attrition rate).
NIT-T, having undertaken a major academic transformation couple of years back and appearing almost on top of the list in terms of research publication, scored high on many of the yardsticks set for the award. The institute has made provisions for increasing the intellectual property of the institute with support for patenting.
NIT-T was all set to augment its faculty strength with the completion of the faculty recruitment process, according to the release, stating that NIT-T was ranked 11th amongst all technical institutions including the IITs and first amongst all NITs in the MHRD's National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) during 2017.
