Procedures and policies for maintaining and utilizing physical, academic and support facilities – laboratory, library, sports complex, computers, classrooms etc.
The institution obtains the necessary requirements of class rooms, laboratories and other infrastructural resources from each HOD well before the beginning of the academic year. After validation of the requirements in Staff Council, the available resources are allocated to each department. Wherever there exists a situation that a facility (a laboratory) is required by more than one departments, suitable adjustments in the time table would make the optimal use of the laboratory a possibility.
The buildings are maintained for their up-keep and repairs on a regular basis. The house keeping team regularly maintains the buildings, corridors and other places clean and tidy. The wash rooms are maintained by a team on a regular basis to maintain their usability. The Departments managed by their heads are responsible for maintaining the laboratory equipment for their operational conditions.
