Why Academic Policies Matter

Academic policies define the standards that affiliated institutions must uphold in curriculum delivery, faculty engagement, and student welfare. These policies apply uniformly across all affiliated institutions to maintain consistent educational quality and fairness for students.

Institutions are expected to embed these policies into their internal handbooks and make them available to students, faculty, and staff at the start of each academic session.

Faculty Qualification Requirements

• Faculty must hold minimum qualifications prescribed for their subject and level
• Institutions must maintain an updated faculty roster on the portal

Code of Conduct and Grievance Redressal

• Institutions must maintain a published code of conduct for students and staff
• Anti-ragging and anti-discrimination measures must be actively enforced
• A functional grievance redressal committee must be constituted
• Grievances must be acknowledged and addressed within a reasonable timeframe
• Unresolved grievances may be escalated through the portal's support channel
