almost one and half decade. Based on the experience gained during the
implementation of the aforesaid scheme and the need to include assessment of

experts from academia, research, consultancy and concerned department/ministry
officials involved in promotion, policy formulation, R&D and Technical back
stopping along with NPC representative as Member Secretary/Coordinator. The
Expert Committee has finalized the scheme determining the (a) eligibility for
participation (b) quantitative and qualitative factors to be considered (c) weightage to
be given to each of the quantitative and qualitative factors, ensuring that the ratio of
60:40 between the overall quantitative and qualitative factors is maintained (d)
questionnaire for obtaining required information from the participating organization.
2.2. The performance of each of the participating unit for the reference year (the latest
year 2013-2014) will be adjudged in relation to the average performance for the last
three years. The average values for these three years are termed as base year values
for each of the factors, as well as for the total factors.
2.3. In case of quantitative factors, weightages is distributed in the ratio of 60:40 for the

2.4. Each unit has to be graded in a method which would show their position vis-à-vis
other units. The units have been graded on a scale between 0.0 to 1.0 i.e the best unit
gets a grade of 1.0 and the worst unit gets a grade of 0.0 while the rest of the units get
a grade between the two limits.
