The Faculty Development Programme (FDP) 2026, titled “Building Quality in Teaching and Research Through AI and Emerging Technologies,” is a structured academic initiative aimed at strengthening institutional quality and academic excellence. The programme is designed to enhance faculty capabilities in outcome-based education, innovative pedagogical practices, and research enrichment through the effective integration of Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.
The FDP adopts a session-based and participative approach, focusing on contemporary teaching–learning methodologies, Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA), technology-enabled research practices, and systematic academic planning. Emphasis is placed on aligning departmental practices with institutional quality benchmarks, strategic academic goals, and continuous improvement processes.
The programme seeks to foster collaborative ownership, professional accountability, and data-informed decision-making among faculty members, while reinforcing alignment with the institution’s vision and mission. By promoting innovation, academic rigor, and technology-driven practices, the FDP supports sustainable institutional growth, quality enhancement, and the development of competent educators and researchers in a rapidly evolving higher education ecosystem.
