Academic Monitoring Cell (AMC) is an important initiative in strengthening the academic structure of the University. It is a proactive intervention to promote academic excellence in the affiliated institutions. The software to make this possible is developed by the IT Section of KUHS.
Objectives
- To formulate a fair and objective System for the functioning of the Academic Monitoring Cell of the University.
- To develop scientific criteria and strategies for its effective implementation
Structure of the AMC
The Academic Monitoring Cell is envisaged as a two tier system.
- TIER-I
The first tier is the Institutional Academic Committee (IAC) of the Institution. It consists of the Principal (Chairman), Vice –Principal (Co-Chairman), Heads of Departments, Unit Chiefs, Course Co-Ordinators and Co-Ordinators of the House Surgeoncy and PG Programs as members. This Committee will meet periodically and make an objective assessment of the Academic Programs including examinations taking place in the Institutions with special regard to the Regulations, Syllabi and such other guidelines of the University. The committee will take necessary steps to rectify defects and inadequacies if any. Periodical reports will be filed electronically (online) to the KUHS AMC as the Institutional Academic Committee Report (Internal Academic Audit Proforma) twice a year.
- TIER-II
This is the AMC situated at the KUHS Head Quarters. The structure is as follows: Chairman: Pro-Vice Chancellor, Convener: Dean (Academic), Members: Deans of Faculties, Special Invitees: Dean (Research) & Dean (Student Affairs). The AMC will receive the periodical reports from the affiliated Institutions through a dedicated portal. A software has been developed indigenously for this purpose by the IT Department of KUHS. It will generate a detailed report as and when the data is received from the institutions. The Institutions in turn can generate a receipt once the report has been filed. These Bi-Annual AMC reports shall be mandatory for the continuation of affiliation in future. KUHS may constitute a team and conduct Academic Inspections to the Institutions, randomly selected, to Physically verify the activities shown in the reports. These Academic Inspections will be of non-punitive nature and proactive, meant to give broad guide lines and directions to rectify the deficiencies and lacunae in the implementation of KUHS Academic Programs and Directives. It will also take into account the achievements and unique initiatives of the institutions as part of recognising excellence. The AMC will report to the Vice Chancellor and to the Academic Council through him.
