Curricular Aspects
The Curricular Aspects are the mainstay of any educational institution.
However, the responsibilities of HEIs in this regard are determined by administrative standing.
That is, an Affiliated College is essentially a teaching unit which depends on a larger body
namely university for legitimizing its academic and administrative processes. Its engagement
with curricular aspects is mainly in their implementation while its participation in curriculum
development, procedural detailing, assessment procedures as well as certification is peripheral,
and these are “givens’’. Whereas a University has the mandate to visualize appropriate curricula
for particular programmes, revise/update them periodically; ensure that the outcomes of its
programmes are defined by its bodies.
Criterion I pertains to the practices of HEI in initiating a wide
range of programme options and courses that are in tune with the emerging national and global
trends and relevant to the local needs. Apart from issues of diversity and academic flexibility,
aspects on career orientation, multi-skill development, feedback system and involvement of
stakeholders in curriculum updating are also gauged.
