The Committee as mentioned above, visited various facilities in the University

The committee examined tJle physical infrastructure, central facilities and the
facilities like academic, patient care research and administrative units related to
the areas as mentioned. The committee also took stock of relevant documents
submitted before the committee by the authority, with regard to the university
governance, academic programs, student admission, patient care facilities and
other related matters of interest. The committee also took inputs from Faculty,
Students and Non-teaching staff, and Management officials including VC and
