Appeal on 3.2.2
Number of workshops/seminars/conferences including programs conducted on Research Methodology, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and entrepreneurship during the last five years.
Upon reviewing the evaluation criteria and the activities undertaken by our college, we believe that there may have been a misunderstanding and oversight that led to the low mark. We would like to request a reconsideration of this assessment since our college has conducted a series of seminars and workshops including Research Methodology, Intellectual Property Rights and Entrepreneurship which amounted to a total of 140 and which, we believe, according to NAAC’s benchmark qualifies for 4 marks.

NAAC has a benchmark of 4 marks for institutions conducting more than 40 workshops//seminars/conferences including programs conducted on Research Methodology, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Entrepreneurship during the last five years, a criterion that our college has exceeded by a considerable margin. However, the recommended input by NAAC in the DVV is a total of only 14 seminars and workshops, whereas our institution has far surpassed this figure with 140 events organized. Thus, despite a substantial record over the last five years, the assessment awarded only 1 mark, which we feel does not align with the benchmark set by the NAAC or the actual contributions made by our college.
Also, if only seminars and workshops conducted in the specific areas of Research Methodology, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Entrepreneurship are to be taken into account, we would like to point out that our college has a total number of 46 programs relating to such areas which were conducted during the last five years.
We firmly believe that our substantial efforts and contributions to the field of academic development and knowledge dissemination should be duly recognized and reflected in the assessment.
We therefore humbly appeal for your kind attention and reconsideration of the marks awarded for the criteria.
