IGIT, CET, VSSUT, NIT RKL selected to proceed further on the TEQIP-II program
(Thanks to Biswa for the pointer.)
Update: It looks like IGIT Sarang was the only one in the 25 government colleges that are eligible (under sub component 1.1) to submit an Institutional Developmental Proposal (IDP). VSSUT and CET are in the list of Ineligible (under sub componnet 1.1) Govt. funded/aided institutions (for which the state is ready to co-sponsor) that can submit again for compliance of eligibility conditions & then submit IDPs. There are no private institutions from Odisha under sub component 1.1.
There are no eleigible institutions from Odisha under sub-component 1.2. NIT Rourkela is in the list of Non-Eligible Institutions (for which State is ready to co-sponsor) shortlisted for compliance of eligibility conditions for participation in the Project under Sub-Component 1.2.
The following table lists the institutions that applied from Oidsha, their over all scores and the problems they had (if any).
| Institution | Score (sub-component) |
Problems |
| IGIT Sarang | 66 (1.1) | None (found eligible) |
| VSSUT Burla | 73 (1.1) | Faculty less than 50%; BOG not as per UGC |
| CET Bhubaneswar | 63 (1.1) | Faculty less than 50%; BOG not as per UGC |
| NIT Rourkela | 57 (1.2) | BOG not as per UGC |
| OSME Keonjhar | 25 (1.1) | Number of courses less than 4 |
| Synergy, Dhenaknal | 39 (1.1) | BOG not as per UGC |
| NIST, Berhampur | 35 (1.1) | BOG not as per UGC |

| KISD, Bhubaneswar | 37 (1.1) | BOG not as per UGC |
| CV Raman, Bhubaneswar | 46 (1.2) | BOG not as per UGC |
As per http://www.npiu.nic.in/faq.htm sub component 1.1 is about Strengthening institutions to improve learning outcomes and employability of graduates and Sub-component 1.2 is about Scaling-up postgraduate education and demand driven R&D and innovation.
One of the requirement for the BOG is that it be headed by an eminent industrialist/engineering academician with adequate representation from other stakeholders.
So it is not clear what the Telegraph article below is talking about.
As per the report in http://telegraphindia.com/1101207/jsp/orissa/story_13265662.jsp the five Colleges are:
- DRIEMS, Tangi, Cuttack
- NIST, Berhampur
- CEB, Bhubaneswar
- VSSUT, Burla
- IGIT, Sarang
The details of the program is at http://www.npiu.nic.in/faqi.htm. From a quick reading it seems that the government institutions will get about 10 crores each and the private ones about 4 crores each.
