For strengthening University-Industry partnership it is proposed to engage various departments of the University with around 48 industries for Research and Development activities and to establish 10 incubation centers in the jurisdiction of the University. Teachers of the various Departments and colleges would be motivated to encourage for undertaking quality and socially relevant research which in turn would be able to get registered for patenting their research work. By 2024, it is expected that 145 patents would be granted and 141 patents would be published. University aims to secure a place between 1-50 in the ranking by NRIF.

Target GER by 2024 is calculated by compounding annual growth of 5% in GER Target GER = Current GER X (1.05)5 2. It may be noted that the calculation of GER in district is based on the number of students enrolled for various courses offered by R T M Nagpur University only and does not take in to account the students taking admissions to other universities. Explanation :- The projected GER can be achieved by the University by taking measures to fill the seats currently remaining vacant as well as by adding some new relevant, innovative and skill oriented programs to cater to the needs of those students (especially economically and socially weaker sections, minorities, etc.) who drop out of education system due to compulsion of need to support family by doing whatever work which is available to them. The University in this regard shall strive to offer schemes of earn and learn to the students by roping in the corporate world and also some philanthropists. 2.2 Improvement in inclusivity and equity GER (General) Name of most Current GER in Increment in % Target GER by 2024 backward area area targeted by 2024 Hingna 13.92 % 17.77 % 3.85 Ashti 12.56 % 16.03 % 3.47 Tumsar 21.52 % 27.47 % 5.95 Tiroda 15.29 % 19.51 % 4.22 3 GER (Females) Name of most Current GER Increment in % Target GER by 2024 backward area (females) targeted by 2024 Hingna 15.59 % 19.9 % 4.31 Ashti 15.59 % 19.9 % 4.31 Tumsar 19.16 % 24.45 % 5.29 Tiroda 17.82 % 22.74 % 4.92 GER (SC) Name of most Increment in % Current GER of SC Target GER by 2024 backward area targeted by 2024 Hingna 12.77 % 16.30 % 3.53 Ashti 18.47 % 23.57 % 5.10 Tumsar 18.06 % 23.04 % 4.98 Tiroda 18.14 % 23.15 % 5.01 GER (ST) Name of most Increment in % Current GER of ST Target GER by 2024 backward area targeted by 2024 Hingna 13.05 % 16.66 % 3.61 Ashti 13.75 % 17.55 % 3.80 Tumsar 17.76 % 22.66 % 4.90 Tiroda 11.60 % 14.80 % 3.20 4 GER (NT) Name of most Increment in % Current GER of NT Target GER by 2024 backward area targeted by 2024 Hingna 9.16 % 11.69 % 2.53 Ashti 8.33 % 10.63 % 2.30 Tumsar 14.65 % 18.70 % 4.05 Tiroda 11.72 % 14.96 % 3.24 EQUITY Initiatives Current status Envisaged by 2024 Number of Equal opportunity cells 69 104 How many departments and colleges have facilities for physically 110 180 challenged students Number of schemes for special needs 01 05 of tribal and disadvantaged groups Number of students benefitting from scholarships/schemes for 50 100 economically and socially challenged students Schemes for special needs of NIL 01 transgender 5 2.3 IMPROVING QUALITY AND DELIVERY OF EDUCATION Number of colleges with NAAC accreditation Number of affiliated NAAC accredited colleges Currently NAAC accredited colleges proposed by 2024 584 130 417* * Note :- (1) Out of total 584 colleges affiliated to the University, there are 417 colleges which are more than 10 years old. In other words 167 affiliated colleges of the University are less than 10 years old. Therefore, taking a pragmatic view of the matter, we are targeting these 417 colleges for NAAC accreditation by 2024 in a phased manner. (2) In order to achieve the above target the University would like to adopt the Carrot and Stick Policy. Those colleges who are willing and apply for NAAC alone will be eligible for continuation of affiliation of the University and also other privileges associated with affiliation of the college with the University. Therefore, University will modify the norms of affiliation of the colleges suitably. Number of colleges accredited with NAAC ‘A’ grade Number of affiliated Colleges with A grade currently Proposed by 2024 colleges 130 29 88* *As on date, total 88 colleges have a grade of ‘B’ and above. These colleges can be expected to upgrade to ‘A’ grade in the next cycle. 6 Number of technical programmes with NBA accreditation Number of technical programmes Current status Envisaged by 2024 across all affiliated colleges UG Programs = 304 UG Programs = 13 Number will depend on the colleges that will remain PG Programs = 04 PG Programs = 122 affiliated with the RTM Total Programs = 426 Total Programs = 17 Nagpur University.* * Note :- With the establishment of separate Technical University (Babasaheb AmbedkarTechnical University) in the State of Maharashtra, some of the Engineering and Technology Colleges affiliated to RTM Nagpur University may opt for affiliation with the said University. Therefore, it is difficult to make any commitment for ensuring the accreditation of programs offered by these colleges by 2024 i.e. the period of the perspective plan. Number of technical programmes accredited with Tier I (WA) under NBA Number of technical programmes Current status Envisaged by 2024 across all affiliated colleges Number will depend on the colleges that will remain 23 51 affiliated with the RTM Nagpur University.* * Note :- With the establishment of separate Technical University (Babasaheb Ambedkar Technical University) in the State of Maharashtra, some of the Engineering and Technology Colleges affiliated to RTM Nagpur University may opt for affiliation with the said University. Therefore, it is difficult to make any commitment for ensuring the accreditation of programs offered by these colleges by 2024 i.e. the period of the perspective plan.
