The report covers the activities for the period April 01, 2014 to March 31, 2015. This is IFHE’s sixth full academic year of operations after it was declared as a Deemed-to-be-University in December 2008. The University has received the NAAC Accreditation ‘A’ Grade with an impressive score (Institutional CGPA) of 3.43 out of 4. The University has been recognized as a ‘Great Place to Study in India’. The award was presented at House of Commons, United Kingdom on June 24, 2014 by Mr. Bob Blackman, Member of Parliament, UK, on behalf of Skill Tree Knowledge Consortium. In its communication, Skill Tree Knowledge Consortium said “With true sense, your institute is a great place to study not only for Indian students but also for global students. Your vision and excellence in practice have allowed us to count you as ‘face of Indian higher education”. IFHE has been recognized as the University of the Year 2014, among the private universities in India, by Silicon India. The Faculty of Science and Technology is ranked among the top 10 emerging Engineering Colleges in India and among the top 10 private University Engineering Colleges in India by Silicon India in 2014. The University believes in Continuous Quality Improvement and going forward is also seeking international accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), USA. Our eligibility application is accepted and Prof. Colm Kearney, Dean, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia has been appointed as a Mentor. Our Case Research Center has produced 95 case studies in the year 2014- 15 in different areas of Management, including areas such as business ethics, leadership, women empowerment, inclusive growth, sustainable development, etc. Six international awards were won and 17 cases were published in international textbooks during this period. It is particularly gratifying to note that one of our faculty members, Prof. Debapratim Purkayastha won the lifetime achievement award for his ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Case Method’. Other professors who have won this highly prestigious award in the past were from IMD (Switzerland), London Business School and Richard Ivey (University of Western Ontario, Canada). The business school has organized three international conferences, at which more than 112 papers have been presented. One of them was the International Doctoral Theses Conference which was held for the seventh consecutive year. The conference provides a platform to the research scholars to present and exchange comments and views on their doctoral research and receive feedback from experienced researchers
