5. FACULTY INFORMATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS (200)
Note: Please provide details for the faculty of the department, cumulative information for all the shifts for all academic years starting from current year in above format in Annexure - II.
5.1. Student-Faculty Ratio (SFR) (To be calculated at Department Level) (20)
No. of UG Programs in the Department (n):
No. of PG Programs in the Department (m):
No. of Students in UG 2nd Year= u1
No. of Students in UG 3rd Year= u2
No. of Students in UG 4th Year= u3
No. of Students in PG 1st Year= p1
No. of Students in PG 2nd Year= p2
No. of Students = Sanctioned Intake + Actual admitted lateral entry students
(The above data to be provided considering all the UG and PG programs of the department)
S = Number of Students in the Department = UG1 + UG2 +… +UGn + PG1 + …PGn
F = Total Number of Faculty Members in the Department (excluding first year faculty) Student Teacher Ratio (STR) = S / F
Table B.5.1
Note: Marks to be given proportionally from a maximum of 20 to a minimum of 10 for average SFR between 15:1 to 25:1, and zero for average SFR higher than 25:1. Marks distribution is given as below:
< = 15 - 20 Marks
< = 17 - 18 Marks
< = 19 - 16 Marks
< = 21 - 14 Marks
< = 23 - 12 Marks
< = 25 - 10 Marks
> 25.0 - 0 Marks
All the faculty whether regular or contractual (except Part-Time), will be considered. The contractual faculty (doing away with the terminology of visiting/adjunct faculty, whatsoever) who have taught for 2 consecutive semesters in the corresponding academic year on full time basis shall be considered for the purpose of calculation in the Faculty Student Ratio. However, following will be ensured in case of contractual faculty:
Shall have the AICTE prescribed qualifications and experience.
Shall be appointed on full time basis and worked for consecutive two semesters during the particular academic year under consideration.
Should have gone through an appropriate process of selection and the records of the same shall be made available to the visiting team during NBA visit
5.1.1. Provide the information about the regular and contractual faculty as per the format mentioned below:
Table 5.1.1
5.2. Faculty Cadre Proportion (25)
The reference Faculty cadre proportion is 1(F1):2(F2):6(F3)
F1: Number of Professors required = 1/9 x Number of Faculty required to comply with 20:1 Student-Faculty ratio based on no. of students (N) as per 5.1
F2: Number of Associate Professors required = 2/9 x Number of Faculty required to comply with 20:1 Student-Faculty ratio based on no. of students (N) as per 5.1
F3: Number of Assistant Professors required = 6/9 x Number of Faculty required to comply with 20:1 Student-Faculty ratio based on no. of students (N) as per 5.1
Cadre Ratio Marks= [[AF1/RF1]+[AF2/RF2×0.6][AF3/RF3×0.4]]×12.5
If AF1 = AF2= 0 then zero marks
Maximum marks to be limited if it exceeds 25
Example: Intake = 60 (i.e. total no. of students= 180); Required number of Faculty: 9; RF1= 1, RF2=2 and RF3=6
Case 1: AF1/RF1= 1;AF2/RF2= 1;AF3/RF3= 1; Cadre proportion marks = (1+0.6+0.4) x 12.5 = 25
Case 2: AF1/RF1= 1;AF2/RF2=3/2;AF3/RF3=5/6; Cadre proportion marks = (1+0.9+0.3) x 12.5 = limited to 25
Case 3: AF1/RF1=0; AF2/RF2=1/2; AF3/RF3=8/6; Cadre proportion marks = (0+0.3+0.53) x12.5 = 10.4
5.3. Faculty Qualification (25)
FQ=2.5×[((10X+4Y))/F]
where x is no. of regular faculty with Ph.D., Y is no. of regular faculty with M.Tech. F is no. of regular faculty required to comply 20:1 Faculty Student ratio (no. of faculty and no. of students required are to be calculated as per 5.1)
Table B.5.3
5.4. Faculty Retention (25)
No. of regular faculty members in CAYm1= CAY=

5.8. Faculty Performance Appraisal and Development System (FPADS) (30)
Faculty members of Higher Educational Institutions today have to perform a variety of tasks pertaining to diverse roles. In addition to instruction, Faculty members need to innovate and conduct research for their self-renewal, keep abreast with changes in technology, and develop expertise for effective implementation of curricula. They are also expected to provide services to the industry and community for understanding and contributing to the solution of real life problems in industry. Another role relates to the shouldering of administrative responsibilities and co- operation with other Faculty, Heads-of-Departments and the Head of Institute. An effective performance appraisal system for Faculty is vital for optimizing the contribution of individual Faculty to institutional performance. The assessment is based on:
• A well-defined system for faculty appraisal for all the assessment years (10)
• Its implementation and effectiveness (20)
