Quest for excellence
The institution’s unending thirst for bettering excellence has made
what it is today. The previous assessments by NAAC have lauded the
institution for its initiatives to become a Centre of Excellence. The University
has also been seeking accreditations from quality assurance agencies in India
and abroad like the ABET Inc. (111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore,
Maryland 21202-4012, USA) so that there is always a serious introspection of
its processes and application of corrective mechanisms to enhance its quality.
The institution offers good centralized infrastructural facilities and
laboratories on par with International standards to promote excellence in
academics.
Sponsored projects received from government agencies and industries
by faculty members help provide excellent exposures to students to carry out
research projects.
Some of these initiatives of VIT have indeed enabled the Institute in its
forward march to become a Centre of Excellence in higher education in a short
time.
Conclaves are arranged at the end of each academic year for strategic
planning.
6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment

yes, what aspects are considered in the development of policies and
strategies?
The
Planning and Monitoring Committee
of the University meets
twice in a year, reviews
the progress made on implementation of policies, and
develops strategic plans for the University. All stakeholders represent statutory
bodies and hence they are part of planning process.
In addition to the above the University has two important committees
which are responsible for planning and development.
