THE IIS UNIVERSITY, JAIPUR I N S P I R A T I O N I N N O V A T I O N S Y N E R G Y deemed to be University u/s 3 of UGC Act 1956 Vision, Mission, Goals PREFACE

I have great pleasure in presenting to you the 5th Annual Report of The IIS University, Jaipur for the academic year 2013-14.

The Annual Report is presented as per our annual practice, comprising seven components, namely (1) University Administration & Bodies (II) Admissions (III) Research Endeavours (IV) Placements (V) Co-Curricular Activities (VI) Result Analysis and (VII) Achievements. The report largely addresses the activities of various departments at the University and the significant achievements of both the members of the faculty and the students. It also covers the administrative procedures and hierarchies within the system, offers a detailed analysis of the evaluation records, and gives insight into the placement records of the University.

Since its inception in 1995, The IIS University is now moving onto new heights as a digitally smart campus with relevant programmes and e-learning systems. As is expected of an academic institution, we have grown steadily in terms of infrastructure, student and staff strength, addition of contemporary courses and research output.

The Annual Report reflects the various facets of academic and co-curricular activities at the University, and by extension, the vibrant academic ethos of the University which co-exists with co-curricular and sports activities, reflective of our belief in all-round development.

Dr. Ashok Gupta Vice Chancellor The IIS University, Jaipur

INCEPTION The IISU grew out of the International College for Girls (ICG) which was established in 1995, as a college affiliated to the University of Rajasthan. Since then, ICG has crossed many significant milestones in its journey towards excellence in higher education. Besides receiving numerous other accolades, it was accredited A+ by the NAAC of UGC in 2005. It was also identified as a Model College by the state government and recognized as a College with Potential for Excellence (CPE) by the UGC in 2010. In a national survey conducted by AC-Nielsen-ORG MARG, also in 2010 for the India Today magazine, ICG was rated as the top college in the state in Arts, Science and Commerce streams. Ranked among the top 30 institutions of the country in this survey, the College became a symbol of quality education and women’s empowerment. The institution was then declared a Deemed-to-be-a- University by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956. This, more than an achievement, is a reaffirmation of our faith in the quality of innovation, research and academics taken up at the institution. Soon after, in a review by the Tandon Committee constituted by the MHRD, the University was recognized for its competence and strength and placed amongst the first 38 Deemed-to-be-Universities, in Category 1. This has accorded IISU greater reliability and credibility for creating a unique opportunity to explore and put in place what is needed to empower its students through the three Es -Efficiency, Excellence and Effectiveness.

Thus, from a visionary beginning in 1995, IISU is now moving on to new heights as a digitally smart campus with contemporary and relevant programmes and e-learning systems. Alongside its rapid growth and development, the University retains a friendliness and warmth which has characterized the institution from its early days. With over 4000 students and more than 300 faculty and staff members, it offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral programmes in Arts, Visual Arts, Science, Home Science, Social Sciences, Computer Science and IT, Commerce and Management. A multidisciplinary University, its curriculum requires both breadth of learning and in-depth knowledge and prepares its graduates to be problem- solvers, communicators and ethical citizens of a global community.
