Faculty
Every School in the University is administered by a faculty member
who serves as the Dean of the School and works for the academic and research
improvement of the programmes concerned with the School. Various
administrative posts in the University including academics, research,
examinations, student welfare, wardens, admissions etc., are also governed by
faculty members.
Within a School, faculty members are segregated into Divisions based
on their specialization. A member of the Division is encouraged to represent
the division as the Division Chair.
Various programs in the School are governed by Programme Chairs
who are faculty members and they look after the smooth administration of the
programme.
