7.1.19 The institution maintains complete transparency in its financial, academic, administrative and
auxiliary functions
Response:
Formulation of development objectives, directives and guidelines with specific plans for implementation
by aligning the academic and administrative aspects improves the overall quality of the institutional
provisions.
The functions of the university and its academic and administrative units are governed by the principles
of participation, professionalism and transparency. Authority has maintained transparency in
appointments/ engagement of staff and concentrate on preparing crystal-clear, fair admission and
examination policies. Complete transparency is maintained with respect to fee structure and deserving
students are offered fee concession too.
https://www.mau.ac.in/Fee-Structure
The university promotes grades, attendance etc., courses offered and curriculum, progress of courses,
details of assignments (student ERP link: http://edusys.ind.in/). Make efforts to decentralize the powers
pertaining to academic, administrative and financial setup. There is suitable rewards and encouragement
for students and faculty for their commendable contribution/achievement but at the same time there is
punishment for the offenders for breaking norms/ misconduct/ mischief. Internal Quality Assurance Cell
(IQAC) of the university has been established for proper planning, guiding and monitoring the quality
assurance and quality enhancement activities. University has evolved a quality system for awareness
generation and constant action to improve the academic and administrative performance which includes
gathering of feedbacks from students, alumni and stakeholders on quality-related issues of university.
Regular evaluation of academic and administrative performance is carried out for accessing academic and
administrative performance. The institution has developed strategies for mobilizing resources and ensures
transparency in financial management of the institution. Budgeting and optimum utilization of finance as
well as mobilization of resources are the key issues handled by the university management. The Budget
Process which is a collaborative process is as follows: Departmental Budget Templates are circulated to
collect the Budget Requirements for the forthcoming year. The respective HODs of the departments then
submit the requirements in the Standardized format which are consolidated. The various heads of the
budget include the department capital requirements, staff cost based on the manpower plan, student &
faculty related expenses, event expenses, research & development, administrative expenses including lab
consumables, repairs & maintenance & other infrastructure related expenses, etc.

2. Best Practices
1. Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format)
Response:
1.Title of the Practice –Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System: on - line academic
management system.
2.Objectives of the Practice - To standardize & automate various processes across all the schools of
University to ensure transparency, accuracy and reliability for better access to information and
continual improvement. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the one kind of web application
which integrates all the modules and functionalities of University system on a single system that
can be handled by the administrative head and access by the students, faculties and parents with
valid user id and password.
The purpose is to design software for university database which contains up to date & accurate information
of the university. That should improve efficiency and flexibility of university record management and to
provide a common and simple platform for everyone to access the student’s information.
3.The Context - University offers programmes in various disciplines which are run under different
schools in the campus. ERP system enables students, parents and teachers to interact seamlessly in an
environment where efficiency and personalized educational experiences propel desired outcomes.
Generic software packages, such as ERP systems, cover the fullest range of organizational activities and
processes and are adopted with the aim of achieving substantial cost savings as well as improved access to
“tried and tested” solutions, new releases, and an opportunity to update procedures and align them with
perceived “best practice”.
4. The Practice- ERP is a web based application which features a centralized storage structure with role
based access. This helps administrators, faculty, parents and students to access data from anywhere and
anytime on web using https://www.mau.ac.in/
The ERP system in the university presently consists of four panels:-
a. Admin Panel
b. Staff Panel
c. Parents Panel
d. Student Panel
a. Admin Panel:
The Admin has the complete right to view any report, download the report in excel format. The Admin can
check the attendance of teaching and non-teaching staff & students. More accounts can be created using
this panel. Admin can upload the notices, circular, office order etc.
b. Staff Panel:
Staff Panel is further divided into two panels i.e., non-teaching and teaching panel.
In non-teaching panel user can only see his/her attendance or the circulars, notices etc. uploaded by the
admin.
Teaching panel is for teaching staff where teacher can perform day to day activity in regard with students
such as:
1.Student Attendance
2.Class tests
3.Assignments
4.Syllabus
5.Staff Diary
6.Lectures
7.Sessional marks (auto calculation of internal marks)
8.Communications (i.e. Send Email, Receive Email, events , Newsletter, Remarks, Calendar,
Discussions, Grievance, Office Orders, Notices, Misc.)
9.Circulars
10.Student Leave
. c. Parents Panel:
Parents are provided with ID and passwords and with the help of the provided credentials parents can have
a daily check on the performance of their ward. It could be in the form of their attendance, results, leave
details etc. Parents can check which teacher is teaching what subject and also communicate with them.
d. Student Panel:
Page 97/117 01-07-2020 02:13:12
Students can check all the relevant details uploaded by the teacher but can’t modify it. Students can view
their attendance either in percentage or in graph format and can approach to the concern teacher regarding
any issue. Students need not to go anywhere for their time table, notes, syllabus or any other things as they
are available online on ERP.
5.Evidence of Success - With an ERP system it has become evident platform where students get the
information they require, faculty facilitate teaching and learning in the classroom or online, and
departmental staff have the information and support to be more effective.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The ERP system is to be regularly updated and enhanced to meet the changing needs of the users and
stakeholders. The success of the ERP depends on the skills and experience of the workforce, including
education and how to make the system work properly.
1.Title of the Practice : Faculty Advancement Program
2.Objectives of the Practice- To promote the quality of teaching and learning through a three
pronged policy that aims at personal, professional and holistic growth of teachers. thereby
facilitating their role as educators and mentors for grooming the future citizens with right
understanding, approach and skills. Along with various faculty enrichment programs, the
university conducts Orientation Programs with the following objectives:
To upgrade their information and knowledge To
inculcate and promote professional approach To
enhance technological proficiency
To familiarize them with the quality research
To develop their expertise in content designing and delivery
To sensitize them towards societal responsibilities
To develop sensitivity in showing extra care and concern for the disadvantaged students.
3. The Context - A number of factors have brought quality teaching to the forefront of higher education
policies. Almost every educational organization has experienced significant growth of student strength in
recent decades and the student profile has also become more diverse. As a result higher education faces
bigger challenges and expectations from students, parents and employers to account for the performance
and worth of teachers.
Experience shows that nurturing quality teaching is a multi-level effort. Support for quality teaching takes
place at three inter-dependent levels:
At the University level: It includes the right policy making like setting up of Internal Quality
Assurance Cell.
Program Level: It comprises actions to determine , design and develop, effective content and
delivery program.
Individual level: It includes initiatives that help teachers accomplish their tasks, encouraging them
to innovate and to accomplish and maintain improvements in student learning and adopt a student
oriented focus.
Page 98/117 01-07-2020 02:13:12
These three levels are indispensable and inter-dependent. However, supporting quality
teaching at the program level is the key to guarantee enhancement in quality teaching at all levels across
the institution.
Support for quality teaching can be manifested through a broad range of activities that are likely to
improve the quality of the teaching process, of the program content, as well as the learning conditions of
students.
Education is currently undergoing a remarkable change that demands from the faculty members that they
update their knowledge and keep themselves informed of the latest developments. The institutions as a
result are keen to have professional development of the faculty. But the truth is that professional
development of teachers is often disengaged from the educational objectives of the programs – even
though the support provided may be in response to a particular request received from the faculty.
Therefore, a well-designed professional development program needs to be developed ,which is an
outcome of a mutual reflection on the quality of teaching and learning and is in tune with the university
values, identity and faculty expectations.
4.The Practice- Since its inception the university has maintained an uninterrupted tradition of organizing
faculty development and enhancement programs every year. The collaborative practice not only provides
a solid foundation for determining the pedagogical competencies that the teachers require to develop and
the support they need but also helps to build joint commitment across the faculty to improve the quality
of teaching.
The faculty development program includes workshops, interactive sessions and motivational lectures
from eminent persons from academia and industry on topics like Role of Information and
Communication Technology in Teaching, Sharing Best Practices of the top institutions of international
repute, Spiritual Qualities of Teachers, Team Building Capacity of Teachers in the Global Perspective ,
Interpersonal Effectiveness, Art of Living , Holistic Transmission of Knowledge etc..These initiatives
accustom the teachers with updated Teaching –Learning Practices and also the need for cultivating right
attitude apart from instilling a research aptitude for promoting personal and professional progression.
To sustain high teaching quality the teachers are regularly sent to participate in national & international
seminars, conferences, workshops ,refresher/orientation courses so that they keep themselves abreast of
the latest developments in their domain areas. The teachers are also encouraged by the university
management to upgrade their qualifications and enrich their research profiles through publication of books,
articles and paper presentations.
The university also conducts National and International Conferences , Seminars, Workshops, Symposia
etc. to get the best of academic and industry perspectives on current topics. The members of the faculty
also benefit from regular workshops/guest lectures by academicians of national and international repute.
Eminent experts from the industry are also invited to enrich the staff on multidimensional roles that they
need to play as teachers and role models.
5.Evidence of Success- The best practices adopted by the university- faculty advancement programs are
indicative of the rich academic traditions of the University. The positive outcomes of these programs are
reflected through the various initiatives taken by the faculty and the management towards a relevant,
Page 99/117 01-07-2020 02:13:12
enriched and holistic teaching -learning experience. The evidence of success is also seen in the
achievement of the targets / benchmarks / distinctions mentioned below:
Academic Flexibility with the initiation of Autonomy.
Industry relevant curriculum with thrust on employability skills.
Word of mouth publicity by the Alumni.
,,Emergence of the university as a trusted name for discipline & value-based holistic education.
Excellent Training and placement of the students in reputed organizations.
Involvement of faculty in SWAYAM under MOOCS.
Participation of the faculty in various academic events.
Recognition in the form of awards and certification of teachers in national and international
academic events. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources
Required
The university has given faculty advancement its utmost priority. But it being a self financed university,
has the financial constraints in the implementation/adoption of high quality Teaching–Learning and
Evaluation resources pose a major challenge.
Apart from the financial challenges, availability of qualified and competent human resource is the other
limitation. Improvement of teacher quality has psychological dimensions like individual teacher’s self
motivation and openness to the development program. The right attitudes/response to the FDPs not only
depends on individual teachers but also deans, heads of the programs and other team leaders who are
drivers of change.

Best Practices 1. Describe at least two institutional best practices (as per NAAC Format) Response: 1.Title of the Practice –Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System: on - line academic management system. 2.Objectives of the Practice - To standardize & automate various processes across all the schools of University to ensure transparency, accuracy and reliability for better access to information and continual improvement. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the one kind of web application which integrates all the modules and functionalities of University system on a single system that can be handled by the administrative head and access by the students, faculties and parents with valid user id and password. The purpose is to design software for university database which contains up to date & accurate information of the university. That should improve efficiency and flexibility of university record management and to provide a common and simple platform for everyone to access the student’s information. 3.The Context - University offers programmes in various disciplines which are run under different schools in the campus. ERP system enables students, parents and teachers to interact seamlessly in an environment where efficiency and personalized educational experiences propel desired outcomes. Generic software packages, such as ERP systems, cover the fullest range of organizational activities and processes and are adopted with the aim of achieving substantial cost savings as well as improved access to “tried and tested” solutions, new releases, and an opportunity to update procedures and align them with perceived “best practice”.

    4. The Practice-ERP is a web based application which features a centralized storage structure with role based access. This helps administrators, faculty, parents and students to access data from anywhere and anytime on web using https://www.mau.ac.in/ The ERP system in the university presently consists of four panels:- a. Admin Panel b. Staff Panel c. Parents Panel d. Student Panel a. Admin Panel: The Admin has the complete right to view any report, download the report in excel format. The Admin can check the attendance of teaching and non-teaching staff & students. More accounts can be created using this panel. Admin can upload the notices, circular, office order etc. b. Staff Panel: Staff Panel is further divided into two panels i.e., non-teaching and teaching panel. In non-teaching panel user can only see his/her attendance or the circulars, notices etc. uploaded by the admin. Teaching panel is for teaching staff where teacher can perform day to day activity in regard with students such as: 1.Student Attendance 2.Class tests 3.Assignments 4.Syllabus 5.Staff Diary 6.Lectures 7.Sessional marks (auto calculation of internal marks) 8.Communications (i.e. Send Email, Receive Email, events , Newsletter, Remarks, Calendar, Discussions, Grievance, Office Orders, Notices, Misc.) 9.Circulars 10.Student Leave . c. Parents Panel: Parents are provided with ID and passwords and with the help of the provided credentials parents can have a daily check on the performance of their ward. It could be in the form of their attendance, results, leave details etc. Parents can check which teacher is teaching what subject and also communicate with them. d. Student Panel: Page 97/117 01-07-2020 02:13:12
  • 98.
    Students can checkall the relevant details uploaded by the teacher but can’t modify it. Students can view their attendance either in percentage or in graph format and can approach to the concern teacher regarding any issue. Students need not to go anywhere for their time table, notes, syllabus or any other things as they are available online on ERP. 5.Evidence of Success - With an ERP system it has become evident platform where students get the information they require, faculty facilitate teaching and learning in the classroom or online, and departmental staff have the information and support to be more effective. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required The ERP system is to be regularly updated and enhanced to meet the changing needs of the users and stakeholders. The success of the ERP depends on the skills and experience of the workforce, including education and how to make the system work properly. 1.Title of the Practice : Faculty Advancement Program 2.Objectives of the Practice- To promote the quality of teaching and learning through a three pronged policy that aims at personal, professional and holistic growth of teachers. thereby facilitating their role as educators and mentors for grooming the future citizens with right understanding, approach and skills. Along with various faculty enrichment programs, the university conducts Orientation Programs with the following objectives: To upgrade their information and knowledge To inculcate and promote professional approach To enhance technological proficiency To familiarize them with the quality research To develop their expertise in content designing and delivery To sensitize them towards societal responsibilities To develop sensitivity in showing extra care and concern for the disadvantaged students. 3. The Context - A number of factors have brought quality teaching to the forefront of higher education policies. Almost every educational organization has experienced significant growth of student strength in recent decades and the student profile has also become more diverse. As a result higher education faces bigger challenges and expectations from students, parents and employers to account for the performance and worth of teachers. Experience shows that nurturing quality teaching is a multi-level effort. Support for quality teaching takes place at three inter-dependent levels: At the University level: It includes the right policy making like setting up of Internal Quality Assurance Cell. Program Level: It comprises actions to determine , design and develop, effective content and delivery program. Individual level: It includes initiatives that help teachers accomplish their tasks, encouraging them to innovate and to accomplish and maintain improvements in student learning and adopt a student oriented focus. Page 98/117 01-07-2020 02:13:12

    These three levelsare indispensable and inter-dependent. However, supporting quality teaching at the program level is the key to guarantee enhancement in quality teaching at all levels across the institution. Support for quality teaching can be manifested through a broad range of activities that are likely to improve the quality of the teaching process, of the program content, as well as the learning conditions of students. Education is currently undergoing a remarkable change that demands from the faculty members that they update their knowledge and keep themselves informed of the latest developments. The institutions as a result are keen to have professional development of the faculty. But the truth is that professional development of teachers is often disengaged from the educational objectives of the programs – even though the support provided may be in response to a particular request received from the faculty. Therefore, a well-designed professional development program needs to be developed ,which is an outcome of a mutual reflection on the quality of teaching and learning and is in tune with the university values, identity and faculty expectations. 4.The Practice- Since its inception the university has maintained an uninterrupted tradition of organizing faculty development and enhancement programs every year. The collaborative practice not only provides a solid foundation for determining the pedagogical competencies that the teachers require to develop and the support they need but also helps to build joint commitment across the faculty to improve the quality of teaching. The faculty development program includes workshops, interactive sessions and motivational lectures from eminent persons from academia and industry on topics like Role of Information and Communication Technology in Teaching, Sharing Best Practices of the top institutions of international repute, Spiritual Qualities of Teachers, Team Building Capacity of Teachers in the Global Perspective , Interpersonal Effectiveness, Art of Living , Holistic Transmission of Knowledge etc..These initiatives accustom the teachers with updated Teaching –Learning Practices and also the need for cultivating right attitude apart from instilling a research aptitude for promoting personal and professional progression. To sustain high teaching quality the teachers are regularly sent to participate in national & international seminars, conferences, workshops ,refresher/orientation courses so that they keep themselves abreast of the latest developments in their domain areas. The teachers are also encouraged by the university management to upgrade their qualifications and enrich their research profiles through publication of books, articles and paper presentations. The university also conducts National and International Conferences , Seminars, Workshops, Symposia etc. to get the best of academic and industry perspectives on current topics. The members of the faculty also benefit from regular workshops/guest lectures by academicians of national and international repute. Eminent experts from the industry are also invited to enrich the staff on multidimensional roles that they need to play as teachers and role models. 5.Evidence of Success- The best practices adopted by the university- faculty advancement programs are indicative of the rich academic traditions of the University. The positive outcomes of these programs are reflected through the various initiatives taken by the faculty and the management towards a relevant, Page 99/117 01-07-2020 02:13:12

    enriched and holisticteaching -learning experience. The evidence of success is also seen in the achievement of the targets / benchmarks / distinctions mentioned below: Academic Flexibility with the initiation of Autonomy. Industry relevant curriculum with thrust on employability skills. Word of mouth publicity by the Alumni. ,,Emergence of the university as a trusted name for discipline & value-based holistic education. Excellent Training and placement of the students in reputed organizations. Involvement of faculty in SWAYAM under MOOCS. Participation of the faculty in various academic events. Recognition in the form of awards and certification of teachers in national and international academic events. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required The university has given faculty advancement its utmost priority. But it being a self financed university, has the financial constraints in the implementation/adoption of high quality Teaching–Learning and Evaluation resources pose a major challenge. Apart from the financial challenges, availability of qualified and competent human resource is the other limitation. Improvement of teacher quality has psychological dimensions like individual teacher’s self motivation and openness to the development program. The right attitudes/response to the FDPs not only depends on individual teachers but also deans, heads of the programs and other team leaders who are drivers of change.
