• Academic advancement

• Technology in teaching-learning

More than ever before, the University recognises that by incorporating digital technologies into the classroom it can bring about profound changes in the extent of student engagement and learning. This is being facilitated by providing them more autonomy and control over their own learning, building their digital competencies and preparing them to keep pace with the demands of a technology-based world.

The University will continue to adopt technology enabled pedagogy at all levels and encourage blended teaching methodology involving traditional, interactive, and ICT enabled pedagogical techniques to enhance the teaching–learning process.

• Online and distance learning

Given their rising popularity and revolutionary potential, the University plans to offer accredited online and distance learning programs in the future. For this, it plans to seek approval from the University Grants Commission, New Delhi, India. ICT enabled teaching, use of multimedia in virtual classrooms including next-generation technologies will be encouraged.

This will hopefully remove the physical, financial and geographical barriers that prevent many students from fulfilling their academic or career ambitions as well as give it visibility and recognition at the national and international levels. Quality online learning resources will also be developed and made available as e-content on the University website.

• New programmes

The University will financially invest in and promote nationally recognized, job oriented and vocational programs that attract students. These programs will be aligned to cater both, to the industry requirements and the societal needs.

New, high-quality, integrated and compelling programs with capacity to grow enrolments such as, B.A.-LL.B, B.Com.-LL.B, B.Sc.-LL.B, BBA-LL.B, BBA-MBA etc. will be developed along with advanced courses, such as Machine learning, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, etc.

The University also recognizes the importance of advancing the institutional reputation and the need to take advantage of its disciplinary breadth to address the world’s problems from multiple perspectives.

It is therefore planned to establish a School of Engineering, and a School of Medical Sciences & Pharmacy, in the next five years.

• Academic advancement

The University promotes academic achievement and excellence through academic consultations, guest lectures, workshops, mentoring, student exchange programs and scholarships to students.

Current faculty endeavours in designing of innovative course curriculum and teaching learning processes will be supported by providing the necessary academic freedom and flexibility to them. Additional avenues for enhanced educational opportunities, engagement with activities, groups, associations, and people  will be explored depending on the needs and interests from time to time. Individuals with scholarly and teaching acumen will be contacted for inputs in the journals published by the University as well as in other co-curricular activities/events organized.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

• To foster an environment conducive to research with the potential of innovation and commercialization.

The University encourages interdisciplinary research and an entrepreneurial approach in all its students and provides them the freedom to investigate problems of significance and imagine and, work for a better future.

The Centre for Research, Innovation and Training (CRIT) at IISU will continue to promote research and innovation and undertake initiatives for creation and dissemination of knowledge. The Research Promotion Committee and dedicated Industry-Academia Cell will make efforts for advancing academic research, and actionable programs.

For the enhancement of service delivery in support of teaching and research, the IISU Library has been digitized and its infrastructure and capacity are being upgraded to meet the needs of the future.

An Innovation Cell (IIC) to support creation and launching of start-ups and innovations, an IISU Incubation Centre with a motto to nurture start-ups, the IISU Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell to assist grass-root innovators in the local area to realize the commercial benefits of their innovations and conduct IPR outreach activities are already in place.

These efforts, it is hoped, will help create successful business ventures that can translate benefits from technology and knowledge innovations to the society at large.

The University will continue to foster, encourage and promote training, research and innovation in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes through mentoring, technical and financial support to its students.

• To create, maintain and enhance infrastructure/resources to enable conduct of state-of-the-art research.

The University plans to improve its physical research facilities, equipment, knowledge and technology-based resources to encourage cutting-edge research.
