Achievements 163-174 1 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 in 2006and thereafter it was conferred the status of Autonomous College in 2007 by the U.G.C. It was further 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 topmost 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 while working as an Autonomous College was declared as Deemed-to-be-a-University by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, vide its notification dated 2nd Febraury, 2009, issued under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956. This, more than an achievement, was a reaffirmation of our faith in the quality and innovation, in research and academics taken up at the institution right from its inception in 1995. Soon after becoming Deemed University in the name and style of „The IIS University‟, in a review conducted by the „Tandon Committee‟ constituted by the MHRD, it was recognized for its competence and strength and was placed in category 1, along with the 37 other Deemed-to-be-Universities of Category 1 across the country. This has accorded IISU greater reliability and credibility and provided with a unique opportunity to explore and put in place what is needed to empower its students through the three Es -Efficiency,Excellence and Effectiveness and prepare them as worthy citizens, ready to takeup social and economic reforms with a scientific aptitude. 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 about 5000 students on its rolls and more than 300 faculty and staff members, it offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral degree programmes in streams like, Arts, Humanities, Visual Arts, Science, Home Science, Social Sciences, Computer Science and IT, Commerce and Management , Fashion Designing, Jwellery Designing etc. 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.
