Over 50% of the institution's faculty members should have completed at least one MOOCs or SWAYAM/FDP (minimum of two weeks)/ Industrial Training (minimum of three weeks) course in the current/previous academic year.
Infrastructure and performance of the institution
The institution's performance must be 60% or above in all semesters of the previous three academic years. In the preceding three academic years, the institution's admission status should have been at least 80%. According to final year pass-outs, about 75% of students should have found placement or chosen entrepreneurship/higher education throughout the previous three academic years.
While granting an Extension of Approval (EOA) for the current academic year, the school must also fulfill AICTE infrastructure standards with no deficiencies.
