BPUT tightens teaching at its colleges

November 14th, 2007

Following is an excerpt from  a report in New Indian Express.

…  The system was approved by a joint meeting of the university top brass with the management of colleges. It will be installed on a pilot basis in dozen colleges in the City and another two in Rourkela where the university is headquartered.

The system will come into effect by November 25 as the two software vendors which were roped in are ready with the customised programme.

Under the system, each member of the faculty would be required to enter the curriculum she/he is assigned to complete each day and the actual progress.

The faculty members will also indicate the attendance in a class so that the university can have a clear view on the students’ perfor mance.

The programmes are so designed that it will take a teacher about 10 minutes to post the day’s report.

“The report entry will be keyword-based. All that a teacher has to do is drag and drop words to indicate the subject he taught in a day,” BPUT Vice-Chancellor Omkar Nath Mohanty told this paper.

Besides, the university and college managements agreed to ban inter-college migration of teachers during the period from November 1 till July 30, 2008.

Only if teachers have valid grounds for a migration then only would they be allowed but after examination by a committee. Similarly, the teachers would be given a registration number by the varsity, subject to appearance before a selection committee.

It has also been decided to go ahead with the CCTV installation project. It has been estimated at Rs 2.5 lakh with 20 cameras, a central software and an access to the server.
