THE MAHARAJA SAYAJIRAO UNIVERSITY OF BARODA Scheme for Governance of Higher Payment Programmes

I.

PREAMBLE: The system of higher education in the grant-in-aid institutions and Universities demands a number of reforms owing to an increase in competition both from the foreign institutions and from the growing number of private sector institutions. The University Grants Commission has been conscious of this fact and has sought to introduce various career-oriented courses which are financially self supportive. Increasing financial crunch caused by the reduced per capita grant by the government and meager efforts to raise funds from unconventional sources forced Universities to think of starting courses which fully or partly cover the cost of the higher education and at the same time meet the societal need for education in emerging areas with professional tampering. The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, a leading educational institution in the country, has been offering a number of bachelors’ and masters’ degree, diploma and certificate programmes on full-time or part-time basis. In order to bridge the gap between the academia and the society at large and meet the growing demand for education, the University has also pioneered introduction of degree, diploma or certificate programmes on higher payment basis. The year 1996 heralded a turning point in the educational annals of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda when it started a three years’ MBA evening programme and a BBA programme under a scheme of higher payment. However, all these programmes started with different fees structures, remunerations, administrative norms etc. This called for laying down of uniform and rational rules for the governance, functional operation and delivery of these programmes, particularly keeping in view the introduction of several programmes that are of different academic and professional nature and that require differently focused administrative and financial consideration. Building further upon the previously approved draft policies on higher payment programme, this document proposes a new scheme of governance of higher payment programmes for the better governance and effective management of all such programmes in the University.

II.

OBJECTIVES OF THE HIGHER PAYMENT PROGRAMME: The higher payment programme must have specific objectives and deliverable goals which should be laid down very clearly so that a niche to be catered to is clearly identified. This will avoid duplication of the academic efforts and waste of scarce human and financial resources. Hence, the objective of the programme should be to Page 1 of 15

provide opportunity in new areas of professional and academic engagement in the university. Specifically, such programmes shall endeavor:  To impart new knowledge and training in emerging areas which are not being served by the conventional programmes  To cultivate relevant skills and attitudes among programme participants to equip them to face challenges of the fast changing world  To provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary learning  To cultivate practical insight among students using modern pedagogy and methods of practical training to enhance their capability to operate in a current world of business  To offer opportunities for human resource development by providing facilities for learning to know and do III.

HIGHER PAYMENT PROGRAMME PROPOSAL: The programme offered under the higher payment system would be executed under the umbrella of the relevant Faculty of the University. Hence, a proposal for higher payment programme shall be submitted to the relevant Faculty board by a Department or a Board of Studies under the University, with or without the involvement of an outside agency (industry or an established professional body) with academic and professional linkages with the referent programme. A group of experts belonging to different Departments or Faculties of the University may also initiate a programme proposal. The programme offered would be first screened, discussed and decided by the Faculty Level Higher Payment Advisory Committee. Subsequently, the final draft shall be prepared in two parts (i) Academic Part (syllabi, methods of imparting knowledge, practicum, suggested books and readings etc.), and (ii) Administrative Part (including financial matters, admission rules and procedures, examination and other operational aspects for the smooth running and conduct of the programme). The Faculty board will decide about the academic contents (first part) of the proposal whereas administrative and financial aspects (second part) of the programme along with the first part shall be decided by the University Higher Payment Advisory Board on the recommendation of the Faculty Level Higher Payment Advisory Committee. University Higher Payment Advisory Board shall constantly monitor the basic academic standards and other financial and administrative matters either on its own will or on the recommendation of the Faculty Level Higher Payment Advisory Committee.
