Problems / Bottlenecks of QEC
Shortage of QEC staff particularly Data Analyst.
Shortage of funds.
(Just for Proforma-1 in one department i.e., ITC we need 3x132x40
= 15840 papers. Approx. 32 reams and 3 Cartridges amounting
Rs.25000/=.
Remuneration of program teams.
Over burden of PT members.
Lack of Alumini and employer feed back culture.
Membership of various statutory bodies.
77
Problems / Bottlenecks of QEC
Membership of various statutory bodies.
In 8th meeting of QECs held on 26th/27th June 2007 it
was decided that:
“HEC will request the universities to allow head
of a QEC to participate in meetings of the university
statutory bodies like Advance Studies & Research,
Deans Committee, Board of Faculty & Academic
Council as non voting member thereby enabling the
Head to beware of the academic activities”
Currently, QEC head is only occasionally invited to
participate in meetings of Advanced Studies and
Research.
78
Future Plans
To complete the Self Assessment Process of
already selected departments.
To follow-up the submitted implementation
plan.
To start self assessment practices in
remaining degree offering departments in 4th
Phase subject to approval of Vice Chancellor.
