Academic & Administrative Audit

Aim Of Academic & Administrative Audit (AAA)

The process of assessing an academic institution’s efficacy and efficiency is known as academic and administrative audit (AAA). To evaluate the academic programmes and activities in the departments and across the college, AAA is conducted on a regular basis. A self-evaluation and a site visit by peers from inside and outside the institution are both included in the peer review procedure for AAA. The purpose of AAA is to examine and assess the organization’s administrative and academic procedures. It gives the institute the chance to raise the level of the organisation as a whole. It guarantees the right application and efficiency of the institution’s systems, infrastructure, practises, human resources, and facilities. The institution’s advantages, disadvantages, possibilities, and challenges are revealed through AAA.

Academic audit will promote organisational and academic rigour. It will serve as a vehicle for academic programme goal-setting, monitoring, and evaluation as well as for the administrative operation of the institutions. It will be crucial to the University’s growth.

The Academic and Administrative Audit at Sankalchand Patel University (SPU), is established with the following objectives:

To maintain and improve the standard of university operations.
Constantly work to adopt cutting-edge teaching techniques.
To assist educators in achieving their greatest potential.
To assist teachers in creating goals and personal goal statements at the start of each academic semester.
