NAAC should assess individual deptt not entire university: MI Savadatti

NAAC should assess individual deptt not entire university: MI Savadatti 10 Sep 2012 Former Vice-Chancellor of Mangalore University MI Savadatti has suggested that the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) should evaluate individual departments instead of the entire university. He was delivering the keynote address at the University Grants Commission-sponsored national seminar on “Higher education 2020 – new strategies for empowerment and growth” repoted The Hindu. On the NAAC grading system, Prof. Savadatti, who was a member of the brainstorming group that evaluated the feasibility of NAAC, said, “Evaluate a university department-wise. Right now, the assessment team spends a maximum of 15 minutes in each department.” About teachers, he said that those in coaching classes were paid better than teachers in colleges and universities. A roadmap for teachers should be drawn up, he suggested. On the phenomenon of brain-drain, he said only five per cent of those who went abroad are researchers and well-paid workers. “The rest are highly paid but not researchers,” he added. Speaking about the demerits of the affiliation system, Prof. Savadatti said “We have not been able to quantify — measure the growth, excess, quality, innovation and excellence. It is difficult to measure them in the affiliation system.” Nitin S Joshi Librarian MAEER’s MIT School of Management (MITSOM) Kothrud, Pune 411038 M- 09922587907 Direct Line- 020-30273597 www.mitsom.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
