Best Practices




The best practice is something that adds commendable value to an institution and its stakeholders. Institutional excellence in higher education is the sum of best practices followed in different areas of institutional performance. Any practice or practices that the institution has internally evolved and used during the last few years leading to a positive impact on the regular functioning of the institution can be identified as “best practices”. These are not activities prescribed by some authority. At some point in time, the institution evolves some innovation or a change in some aspects of functioning. This practice is relevant mainly within the institution at a given point in time. It could be in respect of teaching-learning, office practices, maintenance and upkeep of things, or dealing with human beings or money matters. But adopting that practice has resolved the difficulty or has brought greater ease in working in that aspect. In brief, these ‘best practices’ are relevant within the institutional context and may pertain to either academic or administrative or organizational aspects of institutional functioning
