&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;The choice of six Institutes of Eminence&amp;mdash;three each in the public and private domains&amp;mdash;has sparked controversy, particularly over one of them, but how did the committee arrive at its picks&amp;mdash;and so quickly? Did the Empowered Expert Committee (EEC) that assessed all 113 eligible institutes follow selection guidelines to the letter? A close examination of the process followed suggests perhaps not. On the other hand, EEC chairman N Gopalaswami offered a strong defence of the committee&amp;rsquo;s method of functioning and said that strict adherence would have led to the compilation taking a year or so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EEC didn&amp;rsquo;t conduct any field visit or tabular rankings of the institutes, both of which are in the University Grants Commission (Declaration of Government Educational Institutions as Institutions of Eminence) Guidelines, 2017. To be sure, the field visits are only recommendatory in nature but a tabular appraisal of all institutes and their ranking is required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The appraisal methodology detailed in the EEC report mentions various aspects taken into consideration but gives no information on specific parameters and weightage of each in overall assessment/score of an institute. There is no statistical or comparative assessment of applicants in the report.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EEC processed the 113 applications in 45-50 days, mainly on the basis of their detailed applications and presentations which were seen and discussed over eight separate days with the institutes between April 2 and May 8. EEC was announced in February and as per its report started work on April 2 with a briefing by the human resource development secretary and the University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The committee submitted its report before the end of May. Gopalaswami told ET that field visits were not mandatory and the committee was of the view that comparative rankings would not be fair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;No field visits were conducted as we did not feel they were necessary,&amp;rdquo; Gopalaswami told ET. &amp;ldquo;UGC guidelines do allow it but it was not mandatory. If we were to conduct field visits of all 113 institutes, it would probably take a year. We also did not do any ranking of institutes because we felt that it may not be fair to do so. In many cases, the difference between institutes was very narrow and so to rank them would not really be proper, it was felt.&amp;rdquo; The ex-chief election commissioner maintained that due process had been followed.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>The choice of six Institutes of Eminence&mdash;three each in the public and private domains&mdash;has sparked controversy, particularly over one of them, but how did the committee arrive at its picks&mdash;and so quickly? Did the Empowered Expert Committee (EEC) that assessed all 113 eligible institutes follow selection guidelines to the letter? A close examination of the process followed suggests perhaps not. On the other hand, EEC chairman N Gopalaswami offered a strong defence of the committee&rsquo;s method of functioning and said that strict adherence would have led to the compilation taking a year or so.<br />
<br />
The EEC didn&rsquo;t conduct any field visit or tabular rankings of the institutes, both of which are in the University Grants Commission (Declaration of Government Educational Institutions as Institutions of Eminence) Guidelines, 2017. To be sure, the field visits are only recommendatory in nature but a tabular appraisal of all institutes and their ranking is required.<br />
<br />
The appraisal methodology detailed in the EEC report mentions various aspects taken into consideration but gives no information on specific parameters and weightage of each in overall assessment/score of an institute. There is no statistical or comparative assessment of applicants in the report.<br />
<br />
The EEC processed the 113 applications in 45-50 days, mainly on the basis of their detailed applications and presentations which were seen and discussed over eight separate days with the institutes between April 2 and May 8. EEC was announced in February and as per its report started work on April 2 with a briefing by the human resource development secretary and the University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman.<br />
<br />
The committee submitted its report before the end of May. Gopalaswami told ET that field visits were not mandatory and the committee was of the view that comparative rankings would not be fair.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;No field visits were conducted as we did not feel they were necessary,&rdquo; Gopalaswami told ET. &ldquo;UGC guidelines do allow it but it was not mandatory. If we were to conduct field visits of all 113 institutes, it would probably take a year. We also did not do any ranking of institutes because we felt that it may not be fair to do so. In many cases, the difference between institutes was very narrow and so to rank them would not really be proper, it was felt.&rdquo; The ex-chief election commissioner maintained that due process had been followed.<br />

Institutes of Eminence status given without field visits, rankings -Anubhuti Vishnoi

-The Economic Times NEW DELHI: The choice of six Institutes of Eminence—three each in the public and private domains—has sparked controversy, particularly over one of them, but how did the committee arrive at its picks—and so quickly? Did the Empowered Expert Committee (EEC) that assessed all 113 eligible institutes follow selection guidelines to the letter? A close examination of the process followed suggests perhaps not.
