TECHNOLOGY UPGRADATIONQuality education cannot be provided without state of the art
IT infrastructure
• Operational efficiency is difficult to achieve in the absence of an ERP solution, therefore, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for Campus Management has been made operational since Fall 2010
• The ERP implementation was preceded by a Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) phase to ensure a realigned and well functioning ERP
• Perhaps the most challenging aspect of the process was BPR whose success was primarily due to the active involvement of the top management
• State of the art IT infrastructure: 34x2 Mbps Internet; high-end servers, licensed software, VoIP services.
• Creation of user-friendly service units

• Strong induction methodology for new faculty with greater role of
faculty in hiring
