1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Ever since its inception in 1921 the institution has been global in nature and established departments of various
Sciences and languages in vogue in different parts of the globe. The University gained stature by adding newer
areas of study over time, and today it has 49 departments, 17 institutes, Lucknow University Athletic
Association (as a separate body for sports activities), 5 Delegacy Centers to look into the co-curricular
Activities of the students in the city, Sankritiki Cell to encourage cultural activities of the students.
The University serves through two campuses within the city. It is a progressive University and is sensitive
towards the global and regional needs. These issues are reflected in the choice of areas of study and curriculum
design & development. Curriculum is an integral part of developing courses; the courses of the University are
designed and developed through a strong interactive model where stakeholders are involved in the process of
developing curriculum. The University endeavours to create curriculums that are in tune with the needs of the
markets. The curriculum development process takes place at two levels a) one at the level of developing a new
course and b) secondly during improving the existing curriculums. Revision and up gradation of syllabus is a
continuous exercise in the University. The value-added courses offered by the University are aimed at overall
development of student’s skills. At the level of the University, the courses could be developed in two ways,
firstly either on the basis of direct intervention from the top or vice versa. All the departments have ICT enabled
classrooms and use power-point presentations, MOOCs, e-pathshala and similar methods to support their
regular teaching process.
The University has created a College Development Council which acts as an interface between University
authorities and College managements. The interdisciplinary research and collaborations with
national/international institutes / industries is encouraged by University and it promotes the neighbourhood
network through its full-fledge NCC & NSS offices.
The University has fully functional planning and development board. This board goes through all the demands
and requirement proposed by the different departments of the University.
Vision

research and innovation and ranked amongst the top educational institutions of the world for the better
service to the humanity in general and our nation in particular.” Institutional vision and leadership are
imbued in the values and participative decision-making processes at the University of Lucknow. These are vital
not only to achieve the mission and goals of the institution, but also to build the organizational culture. The
University has a clear administrative hierarchy comprising Department level Committees and Boards, Faculty
Boards, Academic Council and the Executive Council, the highest decision making body, with the Vice
Chancellor as Chairman. The salient features of the process for this purpose are:

Page 2/112 27-05-2022 02:09:55

Committee) constitute the lowest rung of the administrative hierarchy, followed by Board of Studies
(the fundamental statutory body).
3. The Faculty Board is the next level, that deliberates upon the recommendations of the various
Departments coming in through Committees, and following due deliberation, refers academic matters to
the supreme academic body, the Academic Council, that is the final authority in such matters.
4. Matters of an administrative nature are referred to the Executive Council, the supreme body of the
University
5. The same channel also reviews old statutes and recommends casting of new ones.
6. The most notable part of this process is that it maintains complete autonomy of the University and
provides intellectual freedom.

administrative machinery, sensitive to the demands of time. The Vision statement is deeply thought out

1.2 Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Challenges(SWOC)

Institutional Strength
Variety of courses: University of Lucknow provides plethora of courses across many disciplines, ever since its
inception in 1920. It has 49 departments and 17 Institutes. The list of courses ranges from courses like language
proficiency in Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Sanskrit, Oriental Sanskrit, Tamil, French to professional courses like
Engineering, Pharmacy, Yoga and courses on innovation at APJ Abdul Kalam Centre for Innovation.
Page 3/112 27-05-2022 02:09:55

NEP 2020: This is the first University in the country to adopt National Education Policy 2020 which indicates
its commitment for innovation and is one of the institutional strength.
Inclusiveness and Diversity: Students and staff come from all communities and areas that are socially,
economically or culturally diverse. The University has international students from Mauritius, Africa, Iran,
Afghanistan and have a separate international hostel for these students. This helps the institution to identify
diverse ideas and opinions and create a multiculturalism atmosphere.
Student Centric University: The student feedback system is in place, the syllabus gets updated at regular
intervals. The administrative smoothness and governance create a student friendly environment in the campus.
A student support system, with a full-fledged office of the Dean Students Welfare looks for all the needs of the
students. The University has well equipped Central University named Tagore library which has also a Cyber
library equipped with 538 computers for the students. There is also a Co-operative Lending Library with 76,450
books which was launched by state government in 1966-67. University has come out with some of the
innovative schemes like Chhatra Kalyan Yojana, Karamyogi, Our People’s Day, Mentor Mentee Programme
named TREE (Teaching, Reaching, Emboldening, Evolving) and also developed its own online platform named
SLATE.
Hence, it can be said that the University keeping in mind the idea of NEP 2020 in letter and spirit has been
focusing more on student centric facilities and has been treading the path of glory with its long list of illustrious
alumni like Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, Ritu Karidhal, Rajiv Kumar, Kavi Pradip and many more.
Institutional Weakness
A weakness is a factor requiring improvement internally. The University of Lucknow is a state University
governed by U.P. State Universities Act – 1973. The State Government has a strong role to play in the
development and decision making of the University. The grants received from the Government are meagre and
this has resulted in slowing down of its developmental activities.
This University despite being one of the longest serving University in the Country has not been given proper
grants in the recent past due to lack in transparency in awarding funds. This is one of the greatest challenges
faced by the University.
Many a times the state government gives grants with appointment of some agency for the commissioning of
tasks. This recent activity has adversely affected the quality of the work undertaken by other agencies, as in
most of the cases these agencies are not professionally managed and have very little experience for technically
skilled jobs. The University image has also taken a beating in the recent past due to the non-performance of
such agencies.
The University was sanctioned a number of posts in various plan proposals from time to time by central
funding agencies. Invariably these new posts lapsed, because the University is unable to get concurrence from
the state government for the financial implications of these posts after the expiry of the plan period, which
happens to be five years. This has hampered the growth as University is not able to widen its faculty base in
numbers.
The University depends on state government for approval and implementation of various regulations as
pronounced by different central regulatory bodies. There has always been a time lag in implementation of such
Page 4/112 27-05-2022 02:09:55

schemes and regulations, this in turn causes delay in the release of grants and thus hampers growth.
Maintenance of old buildings with small maintenance grant is a real challenge for policy makers and
executioners in the University.
One of the challenge is also untimely promotions of the teachers and delayed recruitment process due to
administrative hurdles which results in lack of adequate quality of teaching in the campus.
Institutional Opportunity
The University has a system to support and mentor the students on the campus through some of the statutory
bodies like Lucknow University Athletic Association, Sanskritiki, Delegacy centres etc. The University
develops various schemes for the welfare of the students undertaken by the Dean, Students Welfare.
The University provides ample opportunities for the students to develop and grow in their academic and other
related fields in addition to the class room teaching. The various departments/institutes frequently organize
national and international level seminars/ workshops and conferences where the students get opportunities to
interact with experts in their respective fields, as also with their seniors in the subject.
The University has a fully functional equal opportunity cell to provide the special thrust and focused attention
towards the issues concerning SC, ST, OBC, Women and Physically Challenged. The University gives utmost
care and attention to encourage the women students to participate in sports.
The University has a registered Alumni Association which meets time to time and also helps in arranging
lectures of eminent scholars at the time of convocation weak and other events.
The University promotes a gender-sensitive environment by conducting gender related programmes in the
institute of women studies regularly. The members are drawn from all the levels in teaching community, there
is also a representation of various external members by election, nomination as well as representation from
disadvantageous classes.
The students of the University contribute in varied fields in the society, like, literary, academic, social, political,
managerial, scientific and business areas of human activity. The University ensures that it involves itself with
various global institutions through various kinds of alliances, associations and collaborations.
Thus, the University see a great opportunity in serving diverse students, particularly from lower economic strata
to reach their potential.
Institutional Challenge
The University of Lucknow has a large student base and with almost 16365 students enrolled, creating a quality
infrastructure and facilities for them is a big challenge given the financial crunch and lack of required support
from the state government. University celebrated its centennial year in 2020-21. It demanded Central University
status as all Central Universities in the country have an advantage of financial comfort over any State
University as a large chunk of UGC grant is diverted towards Central Universities.
Page 5/112 27-05-2022 02:09:55

A big challenge that a state funded university such as University of Lucknow is facing is the drying up of funds
from University Grants Commission, both in the form of research projects and annual plan grants. This scarcity
of previously available funds has severly impacted the ability of the university to fund infrastructure
development as well as granting teachers with funding for attending conferences, seminars etc, at national as
well as international level. Such funding had also previously enabled the University to grant seed money for
pilot projects.
Further the scarcity of funds has been impacted due to the long term freezing of state grants since last more than
two decades. Despite multiple persuasive attempts, the University has not succedded in enabling significantly
greater flow of funds from the state. Though the government has made attempts to increase the research fund
grant by granting projects to state teachers, the grant has not made a significant dent to the resource crunch.
The University of Lucknow has a locational advantage being situated in the capital of the state and also in the
heart of the city. Therefore, it has a positive vision to convert its challenges into strength with the support of its
stakeholders.

Institutional preparedness for NEP
1. Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary: Since the times of Kautilya, Banbhatt, Aristotle and

others, Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
learning has been used in education system in India.
Human values. Ethics, culture gives education a new
dimension and make our education competitive and
comparative with the best education system of the
Page 20/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

world. However, under the British colonial rule when

Lord Macaulay initiated educational reforms in the
country, then education moved from ancient methods
of learning to commercial pattern of learning and our
country followed this pattern since last many
decades. When the government announced National
Education Policy (NEP)2020, then the academics saw
a paradigm shift in teaching learning process and we
understood that a student cannot get a wholistic view
of education, unless he moves out of the comfort
zone and start understanding different subjects which
are offered to him/her under multidisciplinary
section. In this light the University of Lucknow
became the first University in the country to adopt
NEP 2020 and implemented it from its academic
session 2021-2022 both at the undergraduate and post
graduate level. The students are offered various
subjects which have interdepartmental credits. To
name a few, Department of Applied Economics is
offering Business Environment and Department of
Economics is offering ‘Indian Economy’,
‘Fundamentals of Electronic Communication’ by
Department of Physics, ‘Public Legal Education,
Programme Media and Media Information Literacy’
by Department of Social Work and so on . In this
way, students will get to study the subjects of their
choice and excel in them. Therefore, when the
University announced that it is going to adopt NEP
2020 in the new session there has been an increase in
the enrolment number of students from 14998 in
2019-2020 to 16365 in 2020-2021. So this is new
India, new education system and the University of
Lucknow is committed to give its students a
competitive environment in terms of teaching and
learning.
2. Academic bank of credits (ABC): The academic bank credit has been prepared by the
U.P government and University of Lucknow has
already been in discussions with the higher education
department to understand how this credit transfer
system may be adopted by the institution and how the
students will be benefitted from it. The University
has been pioneer institution in the country to adopt
the National Educational Policy 2020 and with
Choice Based Credit System under which any student
has to do 04 semesters of 24 credits. After getting
two semesters i.e. 48 credits in his academic credit
bank, a student can take PG Diploma. Not only this,
Page 21/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

if he wants to come again in the next three years,

after getting the rest of the credits, he can get a
degree in PG. This system offers flexibility, as the
student, apart from the core courses, has a choice in
selecting courses (as electives, relevant to the
programme of study and as per the programme
structure) out of those offered by other
/Departments/Disciplines. The aim is to provide
students to undertake inter-disciplinary courses (as
electives). Interdisciplinary approach enables
integration of concepts, theories, techniques, and
perspectives from two or more disciplines to advance
fundamental understanding or to solve problems
whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single
discipline
3. Skill development: Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of

economic growth and social development for any
country. The University of Lucknow through its
various programmes, and Choice based credit system
has integrated courses to develop skills amongst the
students and making the programmes employable.
Courses like Disaster Management, Public health and
epidemiology, Environmental Economics, Industrial
Geography, Gender Economics, Community Health
Management, Airlines operations so on and so forth
are designed to cultivate specific skills amongst the
students so as to make them employable in the job
market. The University of Lucknow has an
entrepreneur development cell ,Skill development
cell, and Campus Placement Cell to assist the
students in developing entrepreneurial skills and
placements. The department of Skill development,
Uttar Pradesh government also gave permission to
open a Skill Development Centre in the University
campus which will give free skill training to the
students to grab jobs in private sectors. After the
completion of training it is mandatory for the centre
to give placement to at least 70 percent students
enrolled in the centre.
4. Appropriate integration of Indian Knowledge The University of Lucknow has been a premier
system (teaching in Indian Language, culture, using institute with its Motto “Light and Learning”. The
online course): mission of the University is, to be a University driven
by values enriched with diverse cultures, to promote
economic, social and spiritual advancement for an
egalitarian society which is also reflected in NEP
2020 para 4.27 and 22.2. Modern world is often
blamed for degrading social and ethical traits in
Page 22/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

personal and professional lives. The aim of the

education should be to develop an understanding to
respect diversity and cultural differences and
developed through creating an ability to respect
diverse cultural perspectives and University of
Lucknow is committed to encourage the
multiculturalism through its array of courses. History
of Oriental Studies in Arabic and Persian is older
than the history of University of Lucknow itself, as
this department was established in the Canning
College in 1864. The department of Oriental Studies
in Sanskrit was founded in 1864 for the teaching
through Classical Sanskrit for traditional and culture
education to preserve the India culture. In 1922 this
Oriental Studies in Arabic and Persian also got
merged in the University of Lucknow. University
teaches different languages like Urdu, Tamil, French
and has a full fledged department of Linguistics. The
University has a vibrant cultural cell ‘Sanskritiki’
which has been organizing cultural events involving
students and teachers to promote integrity,
inclusiveness and assimilation of students coming
from various cultural backgrounds. The cell also
conducted many online activities like celeberation of
different festivals, Kabeer Jayanti so on and so forth
to promote Indian culture. Abhinavgupt Institute of
Aesthetics and Shaiva Philosophy teaches Kashmir
Shaivism and Aesthetics subjects in the postgraduate
curriculum. The University is also offering Gharba
Sanskar which mainly emphasizes on family
planning and nutrition value to be taken by the
pregnant women. With the implementation of NEP
2020, the University is planning to introduce online
courses in the coming academic session to teach
language and Indian culture.
5. Focus on Outcome based education (OBE): The University religiously attempts to monitor the
progress of learning outcomes through different
mechanisms and adhere to revise and amend the
syllabus to fill any such viable gaps. The components
of the evaluative process are: The Head of the
Department and faculty members periodically
reviews program specific outcomes and course
outcomes through interaction with students
concerned. This is followed by a discussion with the
teachers at the Departmental Committee meeting and
finally in the meetings of the Board of Study (BoS) in
a specific subject/department. The BoS comprises of
Page 23/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

faculty members statutorily empowered for inclusion

and include external members of high academic
integrity and ability from research institutes and/or
other universities. The learning outcomes are
achieved by developing ability to use latest ICT
applications, software including specialized software
and devices. Our courses also aim to develop
personality of the students and in this, Department of
Psychology and Happy thinking Lab is playing a vital
role. To develop industry professionals, the
University is offering professional courses like
Engineering, Law, MCA, Journalism and Mass
Communication, Management and Yoga. The courses
are updated time to time in order to keep the students
the ready for upcoming challenges in this rapidly
changing world and work environment. The process
of evaluating the students’ performance in different
subjects in the Departments is undertaken from time
to time during their field work assignments,
participation in the interface programmes,
conferences, seminar and workshops. The progress of
learning outcomes is also measured through internal
assessment and end-term examination performance.
The departments change and update their syllabus
from time to time with redefining the POs, PSOs and
COs, if need be and then restructuring or changing
the syllabus to suit the objectives. Departments also
try to attain the course outcomes and program
outcomes by conducting the activities such as cultural
activities, N.S.S. Activities, National Cadet Corps
programme, Career Counselling, Personality Lectures
on Health Awareness Programs, Life Skills
Development Program, adhering to the spirit of NEP
2020.
6. Distance education/online education: Keeping in sync with the global movement to

integrate educational resources and increase the ease
of accessibility to them while harnessing the powers
of the global revolution, University of Lucknow has
designed an integrative interactive education portal
named SLATE (Strategic Learning Application for
Transformative Education). This application extends
the classroom beyond the confines of the four walls
and constraints of time and brings to the student the
convenience of accessing resources, revisiting key
points in lectures, exploring a wider range of
resources, easy digital submission of assignments,
digital tests, having 24 x 7 access to mentors, quick
Page 24/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

notices, enables time table based online classes,

Monitoring of student attendance and feedback
mechanism, encourages and enables sharing of
lectures on social media platforms for broader reach,

4. Quality Indicator Framework(QIF)

Criterion 1 - Curricular Aspects
1.1 Curriculum Design and Development

1.1.1 Curricula developed and implemented have relevance to the local, national, regional and
global developmental needs which is reflected in Programme outcomes (POs), Programme Specific
Outcomes(PSOs) and Course Outcomes(COs) of the Programmes offered by the Institution.
Response:
The University of Lucknow is strategically situated in the heart of the country. The state of Uttar Pradesh is
one of the most populous state in the country, accommodating nearly 17% of the country’s population with
Lucknow being its capital.
The university is preferred by people across the state and applications are evenly represented from all
sections of the society and regions of the state. Region of Awadh, as it was known in pre independence era,
has always been a centre of political, cultural, literary and social activity. The erstwhile rulers and their
descendents had exposure to higher education in India and abroad. This has led to the development of
various branches of knowledge in this region.
University of Lucknow is imparting education through 49 departments and 17 institutes organized under 7
Faculties. This conglomeration caters to the specific needs of the country. The University of Lucknow has
the honour of having former President of India, Governors of various States, ministers in the Central and
the State governments, scientists in all leading organizations of the country, global heads heading
international business and non-government organizations, poets and eminent laureates, eminent jurists,
social scientists as it’s alumni. This speaks a lot about the quality of teaching and curricula.
Keeping UGC guidelines in mind, curricula are designed by framing:
1.Programme outcomes (POs)

2.Programme specific outcomes (PSOs)
3.Course outcomes (COs)
The POs and PSOs remain the guiding principles in curriculum design and with these in mind the
COs and academic layering leads to the development of curriculum in tune with industry
requirements and social limitations.
The multi-layered system of curricula development consists of (in sequence):
A specialized Board of Studies of the department concerned that gives technical inputs vis-à-vis
current status of development of the subject and industry requirements.
The Faculty Board and Academic Council of the University. The proposed curriculum benefits
from the wider perspective and broader point of view of the Academic council and gets integrated
into the syllabus.
The Executive Council (EC) of the University consists of academicians, prominent citizens from all
walks of life and jurists. The EC is the supreme body of the University and guides all aspects of
Page 30/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

University functioning. The collective wisdom of councillors leads to curricula refined from the
point of view of academics and in synchrony with the requirements of the society, industry and the
country in general.
Recent value additions are choice-based credit system, electives, value added courses, MOOCS, non-value-
added courses, intra-departmental courses, Inter-departmental courses, MOUs with NGOS’s, Industries,
central and state government institutes in the country as well as abroad.

delivery.
This is evident by the following:
1.The University has a mandate of granting Bachelor’s degree to any student, if and only if the
student clears a course titled “Environmental Science & Rashtra Gaurav”. The course ensures that
the student has gone through issues of environment conservation and national importance. Hence

6.Department of Economics, Social Work and Sociology have incorporated papers on Gender in their
course curriculam.
The University is sensitive towards sustainability as a subject, and for the general understanding of the

2.2.1 The institution assesses the learning levels of the students and organises
special Programmes for advanced learners and slow learners
Page 36/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

Response:
The University as a system has a clear realization that students would have different learning abilities and
is sensitive to the need to address this situation at different levels as described below:
1.Teacher training: The need for assessing students unobtrusively and discreetly regarding their
learning capabilities. At the point of entry (appointment) teachers have to undertake an orientation
course, a large part of which concerns with making the teachers aware of the psychology, social
aspects and dynamics of education. This infuses the teachers with the ability of discreet and
effective student assessment.
2.Quantitative results analysis: A centralized results analysis committee and result counseling
committee are in place to identify gaps and further actions for students and faculty both.
3.Department/course level assessment: A general practice which is common to all the departments
is that the system of internal assessment through mid-semester tests, assignment (including field-
based activities, case studies, social initiatives), classroom discussions and presentations. This
allows teachers to continuously monitor the students’ all-round progress and also enable them to
identify the slow learners.
4.OPD programme: A unique initiative named ‘Our pupils’ day (OPD’ is designed and to
understand and resolve learning related problems of each student individually. Every faculty
member has designated time slots for students, apart from teaching related contact hours for this
activity. The OPD has led to breaking down walls between the teacher and the taught and increased
accessibility of faculty members to students. The OPD is a platform for bidirectional exchange
where the teacher and students co-evolve to create a better ecosystem for learning.
5.TREE programme and remedial teaching: Remedial teaching is conducted by the faculty, JRFs
and research scholars for slow learners on a one to one basis all through the year. Special programs
for advanced learners are being done through special lectures, open lectures, workshops, interface
with specialists in the field etc. throughout the year. It must be noted that these programmes are
accessible to every student. The TREE (Teaching, Reaching, Emboldening, Empowering)
programme is designed specifically for post-graduate students. Under this, every student is assigned
a teacher mentor, who addresses the students’ problems, qualitatively assesses the requirements
and brings out the best in every student. The time assigned to TREE is also over and above the
teaching hours and the OPD.
Departments running professional courses have a system to communicate performance and attendance of
students to parents regularly. Set of 20 students are assigned for a faculty as mentor, and personal and
academic care is completely taken by the corresponding mentor

attributes which are integrated into the assessment process and widely publicized through the
Page 44/112 27-05-2022 02:09:56

website and other documents
Response:
All the courses of the University (UG, PG, Certificate, Diploma, M.Phil. courses) have well defined
learning outcomes (generic and specific). The stated learning outcomes reflect the required skills and
abilities that the students must develop with the pursuance of the selected course along with disciplinary
and inter-disciplinary knowledge. The learning outcomes are also widely publicized through the
departmental page available on the University website and the detailed admission brochure. The generic
classification of learning outcomes can be as: first, development of logic and argument building ability;
second, development of personality and personal traits; third, development of professionalism, and; fourth,
development of ethical and social traits.
Development of logic and argument building ability
The main aim of the education especially tertiary education is to develop the power of making right logic
and with justified arguments. This is achieved through in-depth subject knowledge, developing ability to
identify and analyse problems. The aim is also to develop critical thinking and ability to solve complex
issues independently with creative and original solutions; to develop ability to make right decision
considering all aspects of the problem. The learning outcome is also achieved by developing ability to use
latest ICT applications, software including specialized software and devices. Our course curriculums also
try to develop ability to learn and work independently and have an unaccompanied competence as a
decision maker.
Development of personality and personal traits
Our courses also aim to develop personality of the students. It is done through by developing ability to
communicate more effectively in professional and personal lives. Our courses are designed in such a way
as to cultivate skills to work in teams and be a team leader. It also develops the ability to work collectively
and effectively. Leadership, time management and management of emotions at work are additional
personal traits which are also being inculcated among students through our courses.
Development of professionalism
Professionalism in work is a one of the most required elements to bring desired outcome and our courses
are committed to develop professionalism into our students. The professionalism enables students to
understand need of the society, economy and the enterprise. It incentivizes the students to acquire the
required soft skills like managing people, developing self-reliance. The courses are updated time to time in
order to keep the students the ready for upcoming challenges in this rapidly changing world and work
environment.
Development of social and ethical traits
Modern world is often blamed for degrading social and ethical traits in personal and professional lives. The
aim of the education should be to develop an understanding to respect diversity and cultural differences. It
is also developed through creating an ability to respect diverse cultural perspectives and apply knowledge
in culturally appropriate manner by understanding the need for ethical conduct, knowledge ethics and
ethical standards.

evaluated by the institution
Response:
The course / programme outcomes are clearly stated on the University website on the each departmental
page. These are also mentioned in the University admission brochure. The University religiously attempts
to monitor the progress of learning outcomes through different mechanisms and adhere to revise and
amend the syllabus to fill any such viable gaps. The components of the evaluative process are:
1.The Head of the Department and faculty members periodically reviews program specific outcomes
and course outcomes through interaction with students concerned. This is followed by a discussion
with the teachers at the Departmental Committee meeting and finally in the meetings of the Board
of Study (BoS) in a specific subject/department. The BoS comprises of faculty members statutorily
empowered for inclusion and include external members of high academic integrity and ability from
research institutes and/or other universities.
2.Strategies are developed and their implementation is monitored by the Head and other senior
professors who are given specific responsibilities for this work. This is an ongoing process through
the term.
3.The process of evaluating the students’ performance in different subjects in the Departments is
undertaken from time to time during their field work assignments, participation in the interface
programmes, conferences, seminar and workshops. The progress of learning outcomes is also
measured through internal assessment and end-term examination performance.
4.The departments change and update their syllabus from time to time to meet stated learning
outcomes and are given freedom to include the issues of contemporary relevance, inter-disciplinary
issues and topics of current industry demand. The process of revision of syllabi is a top-down
process, that begins with redefining the POs, PSOs and COs, if need be and then restructuring or
changing the syllabus to suit the objectives.
Departments also try to attain the course outcomes and program outcomes by conducting the activities such
as cultural activities, N.S.S. Activities, National Cadet Corps programme, Career Counselling, Personality
Development Program, and Communication Skills, Various collegiate and inter-collegiate competitions,
organizations of Scholarly Lectures on Health Awareness Programs, Life Skills Development Program,

Response:
The University of Lucknow has traditionally been known as a trendsetting institution in knowledge
generation. Infact, many of its alumni were instrumental in establishing departments and institutes across
the country. In the last decade too, based on the citations of research papers of University of Lucknow, we
have been recognized and rewarded by the Govt. of India via the DST-PURSE Scheme.
Page 52/112 27-05-2022 02:09:57

In continuation with our impetus on facilitation of research, the University of Lucknow has in the last few
years decided to encourage, empower and facilitate our faculty as well as students and society to do
innovative research leading to enhancement of entrepreneurial skills as well as establishment of innovative
startups.
For the purpose, in 2017, the University of Lucknow with the generous funding of ONGC has established
ONGC- Centre of Advanced Studies (ONGC-COAS). ONGC-COAS other than housing institutes that aid,
promote and facilitate advanced research also houses the APJ Kalam Centre for Innovation and Institute
for Development of Advanced Computing.
These centers are designed at the moment to provide support to researchers, entrepreneurs and startups via
providing them with a material testing lab, web designing lab, computer coding, high throughput
computing, etc. Other than these, the centres also conduct regular workshops and training programmes to
train and encourage entrepreneurial skills. The management departments of the university also play a role
in the incubation centres by providing much needed management and entrepreneurial skills via training to
budding startups.We also continuously encourage, update, train and facilitate our faculty and other
innovators in society in the process of creation and transfer of knowledge via regular training and
awareness programs about Intellectual Property Rights andproviding support mechanisms for those
seeking to file patents.
It is the aim of our incubation centre to encourage technology based entrepreneurship and facilitate
practical application of knowledge for public use. In the initial two years of the centres, we have managed
to establish and get them on their feet and the process of promulgation of support, knowledge and training
has begun. A testament to our vision and commitment towards promoting innovation at the University of
Lucknow and in others seeking our help, is the establishment of four startups via the incubation centre in
the last financial year.
In view of an exciting start, the University hopes to further add more such support centres for innovators
and entrepreneurs. Other than this we are working towards the addition of an incubator centre under the
Atal Innovation Mission of the Govt. of India. Govt of Uttar Pradesh is promoting the establishment of
incubator centres via this scheme across the state, in each district. And being in the heart of the state capital
which is home to multiple universities and research institutes, University of Lucknow is best placed both
traditionally as well as via its vast expertise and scale of knowledge to host a formal government incubator.

Criterion 6 - Governance, Leadership and Management
6.1 Institutional Vision and Leadership

6.1.1 The institution has a clearly stated vision and mission which are reflected in its academic and
administrative governance.
Response:
University of Lucknow’s Vision and Mission Statements read as follows:

VISION STATEMENT reads “To develop human resource for furtherance of knowledge through teaching,
research and innovation and ranked amongst the top educational institutions of the world for the better
service to the humanity in general and our nation in particular.” And the
MISSION STATEMENT is, “To be a University driven by values enriched with diverse cultures, to
promote economic, social and spiritual advancement for an egalitarian society.”
Institutional Vision and leadership are imbued in the values and participative decision-making processes at
the University of Lucknow. These are vital not only to achieve the mission and goals of the institution but
also to build the organizational culture.
The University has been created and functions under the provisions of the UP State Universities Act,
1973. The fundamental rules, regulations, terms of establishment, and hierarchical structure are given in
the ‘First Statutes’ of the University, and Ordinances are cast for the regular functioning and governance
of the University. The University has a clear administrative hierarchy comprising Department level
Committees and Boards, Faculty Boards, Academic Council and the Executive Council, the highest
decision-making body, with the Vice-Chancellor as Chairman.
Implementation of the Vision and Mission Statements of the University of Lucknow:
The salient features of the process for this purpose are:
1.All academic, extra-curricular, co-curricular, administrative and infrastructure related tasks are
carried out in complete conformity with the Vision and Mission Statements.
2.The Committees at the Department level (Departmental Committee and Departmental Research
Committee) constitute the lowest rung of the administrative hierarchy, followed by Board of
Studies (the fundamental statutory body). .
3.The Faculty Board is the next level, that deliberates upon the recommendations of the various
Departments coming in through Committees, and following due deliberation, refers academic
matters to the supreme academic body, the Academic Council, that is the final authority in such
matters.
4.Matters of an administrative nature are referred to the Executive Council, the supreme body of the
University
5.The same channel also reviews old statutes and recommends casting of new ones.
1.The most notable part of this process is that it maintains complete autonomy of the University and
provides intellectual freedom.
To sum up, the University of Lucknow has a deep academic acumen with a responsive and responsible
Page 80/112 27-05-2022 02:09:57

administrative machinery, sensitive to the demands of time. Both the Vision and Mission statements are
deeply thought out statements drawn from great wisdom and are not subject to frequent change.
However, the way they have to be perceived and implemented does change as paradigms shift. The
University of Lucknow is fully geared to affect these changes for the benefit of its students and society at
large.
6.1.2 The effective leadership is reflected in various institutional practices such as decentralization
and participative management.
Response:
University has a mechanism for delegating authority and providing operational autonomy to all
functionaries to work towards a decentralized governance system. The apex body of the University, the
Executive Council (EC), meets regularly to discuss various issues, ensuring the organization’s
development and to deliberate on future progressive expansion of the organization.
The Executive Council itself is a diverse body that includes prominent citizen representatives,
representatives from the judiciary , academics, Chancellor’s Nominees and other stakeholder
representatives as deemed important. The Executive Council is sensitive towards the cultural and cross-
cultural issues and draws guidelines to develop a culture of excellence in academics, co-curricular
activities, as well as administration.
The decentralized processes operate at two fundamental levels as follows:
Level 1:
The Executive Council delegates all the academic and operational decisions based on University policy to
the various Monitoring Committees headed by the Vice Chancellor in order to fulfil the vision and mission
of the University. The various Academic Committees formulate common working procedures and entrust
the implementation of the same with the faculty members.
Level 2
Faculty members are given representation in various committees and allowed to conduct
various programs to showcase their abilities. They are encouraged to develop leadership skills by being put
in charge of various academic, co-curricular, extracurricular activities. The Faculty are given autonomy to
conduct educational and industrial tours and to forge collaborations with industry experts. Some are also
appointed as Coordinators and Conveners for organizing seminars/conferences/workshops/FDP’s etc. The
University promotes the culture of participative management by involving the staff and students in its
various activities. All decisions of the Institution are governed by objectives, facts, and relevant
Page 81/112 27-05-2022 02:09:57

information. Both, the students and Faculty, are encouraged to express themselves and provide suggestions
for overall improvement of the Institution in its march towards greater excellence.
Strategic level:
The Principals of affiliated colleges, academic coordinators of various programmes in the University,
Faculty members and administrative heads such as Registrar and Finance Officer, are all involved in
evolving policies and procedures, framing guidelines and rules and regulations pertaining to admissions,
placement,
discipline, grievance, counselling, training and development and library services etc. and
effectively implementing the same to ensure smooth and systematic functioning of the University.
All the Departments of the University enjoy academic independence. Decisions taken at the Department
level through Departmental Committees, Departmental Research Committees and Board of Studies are
then discussed in Faculty Board meetings. As per policy, the various proposals are considered and
approved by the Academic Council, and the Executive Council as the case may be. This tiered system
ensures both participation, and accountability.
The University has a policy of rotation of positions in various bodies. This ensures participative leadership.
All the statutory bodies like Departmental committees, Faculty Boards, Academic Council and Executive
Councils are truly democratic in nature and the membership is rotatory in nature.

arms in its statutory structure work to achieve this strategic fit, while others are created as per need.

centre, Planning and Development Board, College Development Council and others in its formal structure.

institution are determined after due discussion in various bodies. These are grounded in the education
policy of the state, more recently within the ambit of the NEP-2020, and customized as per the
requirements of the University and the population it caters to. Such changes are usually communicated
from the apex leadership, i.e. the Honb’le Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor and discussed with
representatives of various Departments. This forms a comprehensive image of the issues and leads to a
complete plan.
The documents are available on the website in the form of The First Statutes of the University which is a
comprehensive document for the employees, student affairs, scope and ambit of various offices and
administrative deliveries, rights and duties. As the University is a State University, it is also guided by the
UP State Universities Act which also guides and sets the strategic plans.

the onslaught of pandemics. This a strategic activity of the University, successfully implemented. It has
resulted in better visibility and greater transparency. The process also resulted in significant savings of
time as well as human resource.

The IQAC advises the Institution for the adoption of quality management strategies in all academic and
administrative aspects. IQAC adopts a participatory approach in managing its provisions. IQAC acts as the
hub for all other activities functioning as the spokes around the hub.
The Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the University is actively involved in the various awareness
activities among students, employees and faculty. The strategy of the cell revolves around academics with
students, employees and faculty members.
A very ambitious scheme by the name of "Building Opportunities for Original and Sustainable Thinking
(BOOST), a conglomeration of three important schemes, has recently been initiated and implemented by
IQAC. {2}
The three schemes under BOOST are:
1. ACCLAIM
Incentivization Policy: University of Lucknow (UoL) has always supported and promoted the research
activities and achievements of its Faculty, who continuously strive to elevate UoL’s research credentials.
For this, the University, in addition to its other research promotion schemes, has constituted a policy to
laud teachers whose academic achievements have received recognition in State, National and International
forums via recognition/awards.

the official hours, there is a complete freedom in the campus to do so. Furthermore, there is a
nominated place (Lal Baradari) inside the campus where Friday prayers are jointly offered
by the students and the staff.

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1 Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual.
Response:
Title of the FIRST Practice: CO-OPERATIVE LENDING LIBRARY (CLL)
Objectives of the Practice: Co-operative lending library was launched in the academic session 1966-1967
by the State Government to lend books to poor students for the whole session to be restored only after their
examination are over.
The Context: The idea was to facilitate four books per student per session which he/she has to return after
the examination but with the passage of time it became well impossible to draw any distinction between
the poor and rich students and C.L.L reconciled to the fact that as for as its resource permitted, it must have
accommodated the students. Now C.L.L supplying text books to each Under Graduate /Post Graduate
students who deposited C.L.L Membership fees in cashier office and showed receipt at the C.L.L
Registration Counter.
The practice: The Library have 5 Sections namely Office, Registration section, Processing section,
Circulation section, No Dues section. Membership Fees for Undergraduate and Post Graduate , University
Student of All Faculty is Rs 250 /-for a session. The Library timings are from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.
Membership is open to both U.G as well as P.G Students. The students of all the disciplines are issued the
books for one session, students can exchange their books during their current session and they have to
return the books within a week after their examination gets over.
Evidence of Success: The total number of books in CLL are approximately 76,450. The disaggregated
figure shows 29,000 books for Science students, 30,450 books for students studying humanities, 12,500 for
commerce and Management students and 4,500 books for the law students. The success of this practice is
evident from the fact that since its inception, this facility has continued uninterrupted till date. In last five
years total number of students availing membership has been 6228. “C.L.L is one of the library in State,
which issued the books to student till their exams”. It no Recurring Grant, and had purchase about 5000
books to satisfy the need of students through the C.L.L Membership fees which is deposited in general
fund of the University .
Problem Encountered and Resources Required: Financial Crunch is there to procure more books as the
Page 103/112 27-05-2022 02:09:58

number of students and their requirements increase with every passing year. Also there is a need to
maintain a reserve pool of updated books.
https://www.lkouniv.ac.in/en/page/cooperative-lending-library
Title of Second Practice: LUCKNOW UNIVERSITY TEACHER’S CO-OPERATIVE BANK
Objectives of the Practice: To lend credit to its members at the rate less than the market rate of interest
for all types of loans.
The Context: Lucknow University Teacher’s Co-operative bank was constituted to give financial aid to its
members to help them in their time of need.
The practice: This practice started way back on 28 September 1976.It has a president and a secretary
which are elected for a term of three years. Fourteen associated colleges of University are also members of
this bank. Total members of this cooperative bank are 518 (as on August 2020). The procedure to open the
account in the bank is very simple. Signatures of only two members are required as witness.
The types of loans are
(a) emergent loan in which loan amount equivalent to one month salary of the teacher is given which has
to be repaid with in one year of taking of loan.
(b) Ordinary loan in which maximum limit is Rs 6 lakhs to be repayed within 4 years of taking loan.
(c) Special loan in which maximum loan limit is Rs 12 lakhs which is to be repaid within 10 years of
taking loan.
The important part in this loan taking is that all three loans can be taken at the same time but the maximum
loan limit should not increase Rs 12 lakhs.
All loans are given within a period of two-three working days after putting up the request and required
documents without keeping any collateral. The bank has three plans for the deposits namely Fixed ,
Reinvestment and Recurring Plans. The loan is given at the rate of 9.25% per annum. The deposit rates are
6.75% for less than 2 years , 7.0% for less than 3 years and 7.25% for 3 years and above.
Evidence of Success: Large number of teachers have availed this facility and have been benefitted over a
period of time .
Problem Encountered and Resources Required: No problem encountered
