6.3 - Faculty Empowerment Strategies

6.3.1 - The institution has a performance appraisal system, promotional avenues and effective
welfare measures for teaching and non-teaching staff

Performance Appraisal System

VIT follows a comprehensive Performance Appraisal System (PAS) to
assess the performance of teaching and non-teaching staff on an
annual basis. Teaching staff carry out the self-appraisal, which
is followed by that of HoDs and Deans. Besides, students’ feedback
on the teaching-learning process is included as a part of the PAS.

Performance appraisal of non-teaching staff is carried out based
on the nature of the job they perform. A well-defined,
transparent, norms-based promotion scheme is followed for teaching
and non-teaching staff.

Welfare Measures

The institute recognises the service and dedication of the
teaching and non-teaching staff members and offers them various
welfare measures such as

Employment Provident Fund & Gratuity
LIC Pension Scheme
Mediclaim Insurance / Accident Policy for Employees and
Dependents
Round the clock on-campus health centre facilities
