• It is observed that TEQIP Program is viewed only as a means of Upgrading the Laboratories and Faculty to help improve the quality of Education

• Program also aims at building

institutional capability by adapting Good

practices and processes.

• This will help the institutions to sustain

and grow the improvements beyond the

project periods

• IRG through industrial consultancy• Growing interdisciplinary centers of excellence• Enhancing research focus and IPR.• To Increase support to weak students and not

placed students to enhance employment opportunity.

• Strengthening promotion of entrepreneurship in student community

Challenges

• Continuation of Autonomous Status / Permanent Affiliation Delayed, resulting in postponement of accreditation process by NBA
