Structured Stakeholder Feedback

Stakeholder feedback has been an integral part of the quest towards excellence of the institution. Annual alumni meetings, exit evaluation of students, annual parent-teacher meetings and employers’ meet were all institutionalized mechanisms of receiving feedback for decades. The institution moved into more structured systems of feedback, especially on the curriculum for ensuring and sustaining quality in curriculum development, delivery and outcome attainment.
