FACULTY
Nature and Extent of involvement of faculty and students in academic
affairs/improvements
At SSTM the management, faculty and students work as a team for
elevating the institution to world class standards. Interaction with the
industry is a round the year process. Apart from teaching the faculty
members give individual attention to the overall improvement of the
students through Academic Support Programme (ASP). They act as
mentors to the student community. Faculty members are involved right
from the admission of students to their overall development ,
placement and graduation. The students give critical feedback on the
overall performance of the institution and also the faculty in particular.
Their suggestions and feedback are given due weightage while
decisions are taken. They also act as ambassadors of the institution.
 Mechanism/Norms & Procedure for democratic/good Governance
As a matter of policy the management provides the background of every
decision taken for the information of the affected parties. Also policies on
various aspects of running of the institution are spelt out through the
Prospectus and Manual of Policies for the benefit of the students, parents
and faculty.
 Student Feedback on Institutional Governance/faculty performance
Student feedback is obtained at the end of each semester. This feedback is
shown to the faculty and steps are taken to correct deficiencies, if any. Feed
back from the students also helps in identifying the training needs of
faculty
 Grievance redressal mechanism for faculty, staff and students
In the event of any grievance faculty and staff are free to approach the
Director or Addl.-Director and discuss their problems. In the case of
students they bring up their grievances to the faculty counselor at the first
instance. The faculty counselor, if necessary, takes up the issue with the
Addl.Director. If the issue has to be taken up with the Management the
Director takes the responsibility to do so.
