1.4 Feedback System 1.4.1 Whether structured feedback received from all the stakeholders. Students Teachers Employers Alumni Parents Yes Yes No No No

1.4.2 How the feedback obtained is being analyzed and utilized for the overall development of the institution? (maximum 500 words) On the academic front, the online anonymous feedback system is used for students where the questionnaire in a Google form is distributed and students are asked to fill it without disclosing their identity. This exercise is carried out at the end of each semester. Some programmers like PhD-Phys at the Main Campus engages with the students twice in a semester to obtain this feedback about the courses taught, in the middle of a semester and at the end of the semester before the final examination. The middle of the semester feedback is used to make appropriate changes in the teaching like pace, the difficulty level of the assignments, etc. For each course, the students evaluate the pedagogical aspects such as course contents, course methodology, pedagogical ability, expertise, originality, personal skills with students, the overall impact of the course, etc. This feedback is used by the teachers to improve the courses. Both the sets of feedbacks are shared with the course instructors. The feedback also includes that on the tutorials and tutors. In some programmes, feedbacks about the course syllabi are also obtained and then the respective subject board carries out the fine-tuning of the syllabi based on this feedback from teachers and students. In HBCSE, at the end of the entire course work by a student, comprehensive feedback is obtained. The feedback is factored into redesigning the overall course structure. On the campus life issues, regular feedback on hostel issues is also obtained by the Hostel Committee from hostel residents in NCRA every 2-3 months, and action is taken based on this input.

Students were taught with software like Matlab, Mathematica and other open source software required for their coursework, problem solving with High Performance Computing cluster (HPCC). Students have interactive classroom sessions, and are engaged with the demonstrations using computational and theoretical modeling and simulations.

2.3.2 Student mentoring system available in the institution? Give details (maximum 500 words) Across all the subject boards, each student gets a research advisory committee (RAC) usually comprised of three members, one of whom is the thesis advisor of the student. This committee is usually formed at the time of Ph.D. registration. The primary objective of this committee is to actively mentor the student throughout his/her thesis work by regularly meeting and discussing

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

various issues pertaining to the thesis work progress. This committee meets the student at least once every year to take stock of the student’s progress. Apart from that, the members of the committee (other than the thesis advisor) regularly interact with the student informally and discuss issues that the student is facing and offer help if required to address them. The committee gives a report on the student’s progress at the end of the academic year which is taken into consideration while deciding the extension of the research fellowship of the student. Any grievances that arise for the student are first brought to the RAC that actively seeks to address the issues and provide redressal for the student. In the Biology Subject Board, the thesis committee actively mentors the student right from his/her entry to the graduate school discussing choices of courses, details of thesis work, etc. In the Physics Subject Board, before registration for the thesis, the student is either assigned to a mentor or a three- member internal committee is formed to actively mentor the student. The mentor discusses various academic as well as non- academic issues with the students to help them adjust to the graduate student life at the institute. The mentors also discuss any problems for which the students need assistance of any kind. In the Mathematics Subject Board, the initial couple of years involve rigorous course work where the feedback from the instructors and graduate studies committee is taken regularly and used to mentor students through their course work. In the Science Education Subject Board, every new student is assigned to a mentor who guides the student through the course work. At the end of two years, the student is asked to take a comprehensive exam and then carry out the fieldwork. The outcome of these activities results in the student joining a thesis advisor for the desired thesis problem. For the students who join the M.Sc. programme, their academic progress is monitored regularly by faculty members of the respective department. The students give regular seminar presentations which are attended by all the faculties and appropriate feedback is given to them.

TIFR has different dedicated sections that help in the maintenance and utilization of academic, physical, and support facilities that help in smooth operations of its research as well as teaching. The physical infrastructure such as buildings, power supply, air-conditioning, and ventilation, water supply is looked after by the Technical Services (TSR) section in Mumbai. Similar technical committees are present in all the off campuses at Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. For building sophisticated scientific equipment there is a dedicated Central Workshop (CWK) apart from smaller workshops in different academic departments. The Central Workshop is equipped with precision fabrication facilities including several computer- controlled CNC machines. There is also a separate Low-Temperature facility (LTF) that provides cryogenic liquids (helium and nitrogen) for scientific experiments to all users in the institute. The state-of-the-art equipment present in all the campuses are maintained by specific academic departments but are available for all users across the institute. The advanced equipment for research and education is maintained by a 100-strong highly skilled permanent scientific personnel attached to various departments. For all the departments on the main campus, TIFR provides common computing facilities through its Computer Centre and Communication Facilities (CCCF). It hosts an email server, web-server, High-performance computing (HPC), and several workstations. It also provides seamless WiFi connectivity throughout the campus. The section also supervises the activities of Lecture Theater and Auditorium given the increasing importance of ICT in organizing lectures/seminars/virtual meetings over the internet. Similar facilities are also available at each of the campuses. For any technical work to be carried out by the centralized technical team, an institute member can make an online request through the DataNet, a dedicated centralized management portal which has been developed in-house. Laboratory space is allocated by the Space Allocation Committee, which keeps track of the needs of the Departments and their research programs for space. The space for laboratory and offices are allocated based on scientific merit and equitable distribution. Upon the retirement of a faculty member or the winding up of a laboratory, space is returned to the committee for further allocation. This ensures efficient utilization of space. The Main

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

Campus has a gymnasium, indoor badminton court, Yoga rooms, and two large playgrounds for football /cricket athletics. These facilities are maintained by the TIFR Sports Club. Similarly, the hostel, canteen, and other facilities are looked after by the respective committees comprised of representations from faculties, administrative, technical, and scientific staff as well as students. Similar arrangements are also in place at all the off campuses.

6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 Mention two practices of decentralization and participative management during the last year (maximum 500 words)

The constitution of Subject Boards is decentralized. It is ensured that each Subject Board has at least one representative from each campus that it has a presence in. In addition, the academic issues of the students on individual campuses are mostly handled by the Academic Advisory Committee (AAC) on that campus, which coordinates with multiple subject boards. The centres are also given the freedom to structure the courses and syllabi for the graduate school component under various subject boards. These are approved by the respective subject boards and the Academic Council.

The Faculties of all schools and centres have a continuous peer-review system for all aspects, including the development of curricula, appointments, promotions, choice of research programs, funding, etc. This leads to a distributed leadership, ensures accountability, and at the same time assuring academic freedom that is essential for a research institution to grow to its full potential. Particularly, the process of the appointment of a new faculty member in the institute involves consultation and evaluation at various levels. This includes scrutiny of the research proposal and research credentials at the individual department level in terms of evaluation of the job talks given by the applicant, assessment based on the reports on the candidate’s credentials, and proposal from external reviewers who are leading experts in the subject. At a later stage, the application and the collected reviews are scrutinized in the larger committee that is comprised of senior faculty members from various departments. Ultimately, the application is discussed at the faculty level in Natural Science Faculty for the Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects and Mathematics Faculty, Computer Science Faculty for their respective subjects before giving a formal recommendation to the institute’s Governing Council through Director. This methodology is followed across all centres of the institute.

6.1.2 Does the institution have a Management Information System (MIS)? Yes/No/Partial:

Yes

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

6.2 Strategy Development and Deployment

6.2.1 Quality improvement strategies adopted by the institution for each of the following (within 100 words each):

Curriculum Development TIFR selects its students via a nationwide competitive examination followed by interviews, for which more than 20000 students appear every year. As a result, we get very good students, and our challenge is to make them even better, and to help them develop their latent scientific talent so that they become comparable to their peers in the best universities across the world. From the teaching perspective, this involves keeping a continuous tab of new developments in the subjects and going on modifying our course contents in their light. Besides this continuous development, every few years the various Subject Boards revisit their own syllabi and update them. We also introduce graduate students to the research groups in the institute working in the frontline areas of research in the form of lab visits and semester-long projects. This helps in molding their scientific talent to absorbs the ways of doing frontline scientific research.

Teaching and Learning From the learning perspective, the TIFR endeavors to provide an enabling environment to our students, which is rich in intellectual stimulation, and at the same time has enough interaction with scientists in the area and supervision and feedback by the teachers. The time they spend in the excellent library and laboratories that we have built over the years are of great help to the students to learn their discipline, in conjunction with our formal courses and examinations. We always try to bring a sense of creative play to all our teaching/learning interactions. Short laboratory orientations and semester-long projects are part of these efforts where students are introduced to the ways of carrying out the front line scientific research. This also helps students get familiar with the research area closest to their choice.

Examination and The rules for extensions of students were formalized, in the background of the increase in the Evaluation student fellowships and restriction on the time that be taken for PhD. The coursework related rules for PhD registration are strictly adhered to.

Research and Each faculty of the institute is encouraged to apply for grants to fund their research activities. This Development includes the periodic plan proposals to the Department of Atomic Energy. These proposals are vetted at the institute level before their submission to the funding agencies. Moreover, a periodic review is carried out for various departments and Centres where the external subject experts’ committee comprised of the world-renowned scientists visits the institute and interacts with the institute members, and gives a detailed assessment of the activities of the departments. Institute strongly encourages collaborations and research visits by the members.

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

Library, ICT and Physical The library committee oversees the functioning of the library, and a computer committee oversees Infrastructure / the ICT infrastructure. Continuous efforts are made to expand access to online journals as well as Instrumentation the book collection. Members are encouraged to suggest new reference books and textbooks be added to the existing collection. Efforts are made to connect all the libraries pan-TIFR via VPN. The computer committee is responsible for the upgrade the ICT infrastructure both in terms of hardware and software. Campus-wide WiFi connectivity is also implemented on all the campuses. Video conferencing units are added for remote meeting organization.

Human Resource Our recruitment of the faculty entirely focusses on research achievements and scholarship of the Management candidates. This way, we are able to recruit the best scientific manpower in the country, and also the cream of returning young Indian scientists who have been awarded their Ph.D.s or postdoctoral fellowships abroad. TIFR follows the Tenure Track system for the young faculty members joining the institute. Once a young faculty member joins TIFR, he/she begins to take part in the nurture of students, and by and by assumes more responsibilities including lecturing and being the formal guide of a student. Thus, our faculty members begin as excellent scientists and then grow into the role of active and enthusiastic teachers. Besides the Faculty, we have a large support staff. Our policy is to treat them as partners in our larger aims and to encourage them to take responsibility, to make innovations, and to grow with the job.

Industry Interaction / There have been some research projects funded by the industry, and some industries have formal Collaboration MoUs with TIFR that facilitate collaborations. Internships of people from the industry in TIFR, and access to industry-level technology to TIFR members, has been of mutual benefit.

Admission of Students The Subject Board for Mathematics discontinued the oral interviews for admissions, instead started giving shortlisted students another written test. This is expected to lead to more objective student selection.

6.2.2 Implementation of e-governance in areas of operations:

Planning and TIFR has an internal Information Systems Development Group, with dedicated staff. The ISDG looks after Development the information technology requirements and plan of execution for the Institute, developing online procedures for various academic, administrative, and financial processes in the Institute, including the Colaba campus and the Centres and Field Stations. The ISDG works in close collaboration with the

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

relevant Sections of the Institute, adapting existent systems for online functioning and developing new procedures, if necessary to facilitate these.

Administration The movement of files with approval from authorities at successively higher levels is gradually being moved to Datanet and LDAP, though the process is not complete. This includes applications, such as leave, reimbursement, LTC applications, etc. On the financial side, the tendering process is now largely electronic. Most bookings of rooms, accommodation, transport, canteen facilities, photographic cell, etc. are now done electronically. Bidding for residential accommodation in Institute quarters is done purely electronically.

Finance and TIFR has built its own Integrated Information System (TIIS), which is an integrated Enterprise Resource Accounts Planning (ERP) solution for TIFR which includes Personal Information System, Payroll, Pension, Provident Fund, Procurements, Material Receipts, Inventory, Budget, Accounting, Finance, and Accommodation. TIIS was implemented at TIFR Main Campus, and other campuses are in the process of transferring from Tally and a few other software to TIIS. In addition to TIIS, Datanet provides information to staff members on their desktops, e.g. service record, salary, purchase orders, indent status, etc. Financial transactions of some of the government departments are done through the PFMS software.

Student Admission The web-based admission portal was adopted in collaboration with M/s Embitel, Bengaluru in the year and Support 2008. This is used exclusively for managing the application process for the admission written test. We continuously keep upgrading it based on the experiences of candidates as well as institute administration.

Examination Since the student to faculty ratio is very small pan-TIFR, the need for adopting e-governance has not been felt so far.

7.2 Best Practices

Describe at least two institutional best practices

Upload details of two best practices successfully implemented by the institution as per NAAC format in your institution website, provide the link

Best Practice 1: TIFR Integrated Information System (TIIS) and Datanet

1. Title of the Practice TIFR Integrated Information System (TIIS) and Datanet

2. Objectives The main objective of this system is to automate TIFR’s core administrative functions like payroll, pension, PF, establishment, accounts, budget, procurements, and materials management with an integrated approach, thereby reducing the effort required of staff members, avoiding data redundancy, and increasing overall work efficiency and transparency in the functioning of the institute. All administrative information and records are available to authorized users of the institutes through a web-based interface available on the institute’s intranet. An up to date record of financial progress and budget status is also available. Many of the paper-based processes have been replaced with computerised workflows on the TIFR Datanet. The institute canteen operations are also computerised and made cashless with a unique QR-code based authentication system that allows deductions from employees’ salary directly.

3. The Context or challenging issues: TIFR was one of the first institutes to adopt such practices. The inherent complexities of government processes and the academic setup provided hardly any alternatives for adopting/customizing any ‘known’ standard package from the market. The system was therefore built in-house. The challenge has been in defining the complex processes, with little documentation available, and then designing the system keeping in mind the diverse user groups in the institute with varying levels of computer skills. The architecture is complex as it supports other Centres, field stations, and campuses of TIFR at various locations connecting and using the system over the network. It allows 24-hour operations and ensures backups at different locations.

4. The Practice a. TIFR has built its TIIS (TIFRs Integrated Information System) which is an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution for TIFR which includes Personal Information System, Payroll, Pension, Provident Fund, Procurements, Material Receipts, Inventory, Budget, Accounting, Finance, and Accommodation.

108

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

b. TIFR Datanet is a web-based information and workflow portal built in addition to TIIS. It provides information to staff members on their desktops, e.g. service record, salary, purchase orders, indent status, etc. c. Most of the administrative workflows are automated and provided under Datanet. These include Online indent requisitions, online guesthouse bookings, lecture room bookings, transport (vehicle) bookings, canteen service, gate- pass management, cash purchases, and workshop requests. d. Accommodation Allotments are also automated where users bid for available flats and flats are allotted according to the user's seniority using this computerized system. e. Datanet also includes a facility for generating appraisal forms online by fetching employee details. The system provides various notifications to staff members via emails including bank credits, claims processing, etc. f. Since the system is in-house, it is very responsive to changes in rules and user requests for modifications. There is no dependence on outside vendors.

5. Evidence of Success The process of automating any administrative process includes a study and analysis of the overall workflow. In developing the systems for TIIS, BPR (Business Process Re-engineering) was included as the first step in this process wherein the process flow was analyzed and re-engineered taking into account the technology and system capabilities and the use of best practices. Many of the processes at TIFR like budgetary approvals, cash purchases, gate passes, procurements, etc., are now well defined and documented with little scope for errors. The system ensured a uniform application of rules like leave, payments, budgetary approvals, etc., at all locations. Many of the systems became very efficient. For example, allotting of housing flats earlier required scheduling and arranging a physical meeting. This was replaced by online bidding and allotment of housing flats through the system automatically. Similarly, the period for closing of accounts and having the audit was reduced from several months to less than a month. Operations like canteen systems became streamlined with the introduction of a cashless system running on Android-based tablets.

6. Problems encountered and resources required The main problems encountered include lack of well-documented systems and processes. Hence, most of the systems had to undergo several changes even after release. Connectivity issues with centres (located in other cities) is another bottleneck that needs to be constantly monitored. The lack of manpower for the development of systems contributed to the delay in releasing systems.

7. Notes: This system is adapted to an environment that combines research and teaching, and hence would be useful even for other academic and research institutions.

Best Practice 2: Synopsis scrutiny and feedback

1. Title of the Practice Synopsis scrutiny and feedback 2. Objectives Ph.D. theses written by the students of TIFR are the culmination of their years of research in TIFR. It is important that the final products of this work, viz., the synopsis, and the thesis, should be of high quality. Not just the advisor and the thesis committee, but also other experts in the field, as well as faculty members in the general subject area but not necessarily experts in the specific field, should be convinced of the high quality of the thesis work. This acts as the final internal quality control from the university before the thesis goes out to the external examiner. 3. The Context or challenging issues: While the advisor and the Thesis Committee of a student strive to ensure a quality thesis, it is always advisable to have an outside perspective on the importance of the work done. Moreover, TIFR policy is that for students getting a Ph.D. from the university, it is not enough to be able to talk with peers in their specific subjects; they should also be able to address scientists from other areas and convince them of the importance of their work. To gauge the understanding of the student, a seminar is a good method. Of course, a final thesis viva-voce is given by the student, however, that is too late by then to take any corrective measures that do not jeopardize the career of the student. Therefore, it is advisable to have an internal mechanism that ensures that any lacunae in the synopsis and thesis work are identified and corrected well in time. 4. The Practice While the general practice in universities is to have a Thesis Committee that approves the submission of Synopsis, the practice adopted by many TIFR Departments is: a. There is an open Synopsis seminar that is well advertised, where any member of the institute can be present and ask questions. b. The Synopsis Seminar Evaluation Committee consists of local experts in the area of work, as well as at least one faculty member from a different area. The committee is a mix of theorists and experimentalists to provide a comprehensive overall perspective. The advisor is not a part of the evaluation committee. c. The Evaluation Committee members have the responsibility of examining the work thoroughly. Even after the actual seminar, they are given 5 days within which they can give written feedback to the student and the advisor via an online form provided for this purpose, which may be anonymous. They may also contact the student/advisor directly and ask for certain changes to be made in the thesis.

110

Tata Institute of Fundamental Research AQAR 2016-17

d. The Synopsis is accepted by the University only after all the evaluation committee members have agreed to the Synopsis, with changes made, if any. e. This process is overseen by the Subject Board Convener. 5. Evidence of Success As a result of this practice, the quality of the Synopses (and hence consequently, the theses), increases. In some cases, comments from the evaluation committee members have acted as a wake-up call to the student, who has then improved the contents and the presentation substantially, sometimes also redoing some of the experimental checks. Another important visible result is that most of the theses sent to the external examiners are accepted in their current form, or with only minor changes requested. The last quality-control stage, in the form of Synopsis scrutiny, has surely played an important role in this. 6. Problems encountered and resources required This Best Practice has been in operation since the inception of the TIFR Deemed University and has been well-accepted. Although it means an additional responsibility for the faculty members, however, the student-faculty ratio in TIFR is rather small, and this is not a large burden, given the net advantages. Also, it was necessary to ensure that this process of extensive feedback does not result in unnecessary delays in the submission of the Synopsis. To minimize the time delay and make the process easier for evaluation committee members and the students, we developed a web-based form, which would be accessible to only the evaluation committee members. 7. Notes: This Practice is adaptable in institutions that have wide in-house expertise. It utilizes this expertise for the benefit of the students as well as the university as a whole.

7.3 Institutional Distinctiveness

Provide the details of the performance of the institution in one area distinctive to its vision, priority, and thrust Provide the web link of the institution in not more than 500 words

Department of Nuclear and Atomic Physics houses the experimental facilities that are unique to TIFR and not easily available in labs around the world. It fashions laser pulses from a 100 terawatt, femtosecond laser to suit experiments that probe the evolution of the excited matter (plasma) on femtosecond scales simultaneously with micrometer spatial resolution, unmatched anywhere else. All experimental setups are built at TIFR and several innovations are implemented for temporal and spatial measurements. The laser itself is manipulated to obtain maximum flexibility in its parameters and achieve the best focusing conditions. The laser has been upgraded locally to powers of 150 TW this year and with the recently implemented adaptive focusing the intensity can now reach 1020 W/cm2, matching some of the best laboratories around the world. The success of these efforts also reflects in the vibrant collaboration with groups from Europe, Japan, and the US which use this state-of-the- art laser system for their experiments. The major physics interest in this area arises from the fact that we can create extremely hot plasmas that are simultaneously ultra-dense: A highly excited state of matter found otherwise only in stellar atmospheres. For instance, it is possible to create plasmas with temperatures of a few keV which have free electron densities of the order of 1024/cm3! In addition, these plasmas contain ‘hot electrons’ that are extremely energetic, going all the way up to tens of MeV energies (relativistic electrons). These hot electrons can propagate out of the plasma as a highly directional beam or they can transfer their energy to the ions leading to MeV and GeV ion generation. They can also lose their energy by way of ultra-hard x-ray radiation. The interesting aspect of all these emissions is that they are of femtosecond duration, thus leading to a variety of ultrafast radiation sources. These hot electrons are also responsible for the generation of the largest magnetic fields known on the earth- hundreds of Megagauss! And these magnetic fields also have ultrafast duration. Research in this area not only addresses cutting edge questions in basic science on matter and radiation, but is also enormously important for laser fusion, laboratory astrophysics, novel x-ray sources, particle acceleration, and so on. Using this system, the UPHILL group at TIFR Mumbai has demonstrated the turbulent giant magnetic fields in intense laser produced dense plasma which has been acknowledged to be capable of simulating astrophysical magnetic turbulence in the laboratory (Nature Commun 2017, the highlight in Nature Physics 2017). The group has also demonstrated the efficient, high energy, compact tabletop terahertz radiation source using this laser system (Nature Commun 2017). These intense (~ few MV/cm), broad-band (> 30 THz) terahertz pulses can drive major advances in ultrafast dynamics, nonlinear THz optics, and bio-material imaging. The group has demonstrated the generation of broad-band (~ 70 THz), high energy (~ 76 mJ/pulse) THz pulse in non-polar liquids with remarkably high conversion efficiency > 10-3.

8 Future Plans of action for the next academic year (500 words)

1. To start participating in the NIRF scheme for Indian University ranking: TIFR has so far participated in the National Institute Ranking Framework of MHRD. With the NAAC accreditation obtained, it was decided to start participating in this yearly exercise.

2. To start a course on Scientific Writing for graduate students across the subjects: It is observed that, while most of the TIFR students do excellent research during their Ph.D., the writing skills of many of them may not be as good. This is sometimes noticed and remarked by the examiners of project reports as well as thesis reports. In any case, an important skill for a scientist is to be able to convey their research to peers as well as the public. While TIFR students are all postgraduate or doctoral students, and hence do not have to do any language courses, a refresher course focusing on scientific writing would be very important.

3. To get one lecture room furnished with facilities like lecture-recording, videoconferencing, and live-streaming: Two new classrooms had recently been furnished in TIFR Mumbai, where lectures for small classes of about 20 students each can be held. While the facilities of projectors and wifi connectivity were already available, one of these classrooms could be converted into a video-conferencing room, which can be used especially for lectures that can be transmitted live to other institutions, for example to the other TIFR campuses.
