National Board of Accreditation at BIT
Sindri A team
of experts constituted by National Board of Accreditation visited BIT
Sindri on 19th January. Each department of the institute was inspected
rigorously by two subject experts headed by a Chairman. The inspection
concluded on 21st January. They also gave an option of withdrawing any
department from the assessment. Such departments will not be considered
for accreditation. However, BIT administration did not withdraw and all
the departments were evaluated. Any department scoring less than 650 out
of 1000 points will be considered deficient not fit for accreditation.
Above 650, it is accreditation for 3 years and for above 750 points, it
is for 5 years. After the end of the period the departments will be
reassessed. This is a continuous monitoring system for sustaining
quality in technical education.
As per the general impression that we
have been able to gather, NBA team was by and large very happy with the huge
infrastructure available with the institute. However, they have clearly
pointed out the deficiencies relating to student/teacher ratio, many
equipments not in working condition, and poor quality of laboratory
instructions. The chairman of the NBA team will submit the report to
AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education) which will take the
final decision and notify the result for accreditation in a couple of
months. Let us wait and watch how the different departments of BIT
score.
