QS Stars managed to identify the institution’s area of weakness and fine tune our existing processes. The institution gain visibility associated with the rating as well as able to reach our goal to be at par with global academic peers.
We spoke to Prof. G. Augustine Maniraj Pandian, Dean – Internal Quality Assurance Cell at SRM Institute of Science and Technology about their experience using QS Stars.
Why did you choose QS?
It is simple. QS is a renowned ranking agency. Therefore, any audit by it like QS Stars Rating has to be good and comprehensive. It also serves the purpose of external audit mandated by Indian Regulators.
What objectives has QS Stars helped you to achieve?
QS Stars has helped SRM Institute of Science and Technology serve as a supplementary process aiding the other mandated processes by Indian Regulators like NIRF/NAAC/NBA, external audit, and manage to fine-tune our systems to meet the requirements of online data gathering.
What have you learnt by using QS Stars?
Any claim without supporting data/evidence is no claim at all.
What challenges have you been able to overcome thanks to QS Stars?
We manage to improve our website, putting in place a few policy documents and SOPs and really focus on a few student centric processes which are not there in other accreditations.
