SWOC Analysis Procedure adopted for SWOC The SWOC criteria are arrived at by involving and eliciting the opinion of a large section of individuals representing each group of stakeholders of our institute namely, members of management, administrative, teaching and non-teaching staff and fairly sizable number of students from UG and PG programs for a brain-storming session. After deliberating at length among this large gathering of individuals on the procedure to be adopted, it was decided that they form into 4 heterogeneous groups, each group comprising a mix of all stakeholders as above and asked to address the current status in terms of the following 3 broad dimensions to evolve coherent SWOC criteria under the direction of a team lead voluntarily chosen by the group to coordinate the activity: 1. The People – The asset of all human resources behind the current pace of growth 2. The Processes – All academic and non-academic functions evolved over time 3. The Tools and Techniques – The current strategies adopted in leveraging technology Further, while assessing and measuring the role of the above 3 drivers of our institutional growth, the groups kept in mind the following 4 parameters: 1. Knowledge and skills - acquired by our students judged by their employability 2. Resource deployment – Extent of utilization of available resources like, infrastructural, human and financial resources 3. Learning environment – Extent to which the campus culture enhanced the learning process 4. Role playing – The concern and commitment of all stakeholders in discharging their respective responsibilities in building and broadening the intellectual assets of the region This long exercise resulted in a comprehensive Data Collection Tool
