II. Approval of SHEP comprising of component wise proposals for

phase II RUSA (2018-19 to 2019-20)

a. Component I: Creation of Universities by way of upgradation of

existing autonomous colleges

03 autonomous colleges which have necessary infrastructural facilities,

teaching strength & academic quality will be considered for upgradation to

universities with financial support of Rs.55Cr.

No government autonomous college is having the required NAAC CGPA

(3.51 above) However, Andhra Loyala (A) College Vijayawada is having

NAAC CGPA of 3.66 and all other requirement like physical infrastructure,

Academic Quality, governance structure etc to be considered for upgradation

of the autonomous college into university. Hence the college is proposed

under component I.

Submitted for discussion and approval.

b. Component 2 – Creation of Universities by conversion of colleges in

a Cluster

3 new cluster universities (public) would be created during the current

Plan period with an average allocation of Rs.55 crore per university

through the clustering of existing affiliated government and government-

aided colleges. These universities will be created by pooling the resources

of 3 to 5 existing colleges (2 to 3 colleges for NER States) that have

adequate academic, physical and technical infrastructural facilities.

Colleges with a NAAC grade of 3.51 and above will be eligible. However, in

case such a cluster is not possible, the Lead college has to have NAAC

score of 3.51 and the participating colleges need to have NAAC score of at

least 3.25.

The purpose of such an intervention is to bring together 3-5 colleges

which have the required academic and administrative autonomy (but do

not have the power to award degree) and convert them into a university

(which has the degree awarding power) through an Act of State

Legislature.

Colleges fulfilling conditions of autonomy under the UGC Autonomous

College Regulations, 2018 of the UGC will be eligible.

Colleges with high Teacher-Student Ratio, Post –Graduate Departments,

and having filled 85% of their sanctioned faculty positions etc. are eligible

to be considered.

These colleges selected should offer inter and multi-disciplinary programs.

Colleges joining the cluster must have the capacity to function as a

university when coalesced. This would include, among other factors, the

strength and experience of the administrative staff, the number of years

that the individual colleges have been functioning, degree of autonomy

they have enjoyed in the past, etc.

Funding Priorities:-

(a) Physical Infrastructure

At least two of the participating colleges should have been in existence for

15 years.

Should have an existing combined enrolment of 2000 student and the

proposed total enrolment of students must be enough to sustain the

institution as a university with a minimum enrolment requirement of 4000

students.

As the university would be a multi-campus university, the physical

proximity of the institutions should be such that they are able to share

physical and human resources and would be able to facilitate student and

faculty mobility (ideally within a maximum radius of 15-20 kms from the

lead institution)

(b) Academic Quality

The new cluster university may be a combination of colleges with

autonomous status/ Colleges with Excellence/ College with Potential for

Excellence status.

All participating colleges should have NAAC accreditation of 3.51 and

above However, in case such a cluster is not possible, the Lead college

has to have NAAC score of 3.51 and the participating colleges need to

have NAAC score of at least 3.25.

Should have teaching programmes in undergraduate and postgraduate

courses.

Must have a few faculty members with excellent research performance

through publications, undertaking research projects and guiding research

students.

Should have demonstrated high academic performance in inter-disciplinary

teaching and research programmes.

Should have a Student–teacher ratio (25:1) (combined based on

sanctioned strength)

PREFACE

The 12th Plan proposed a holistic plan for the development of Higher

Education in the country by ensuring access, equity and quality. The Plan, which

recommended strategic utilization of central funds to ensure comprehensive planning

at the State level recommended a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) “Rashtriya

Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA)”

RUSA is spread over the 12th and 13th Plan period for funding the State

Universities and Colleges to achieve equity, access and excellence in Higher

Education. The allocation of funds under RUSA would be based on well‐defined

norms and linked to certain key academic, administrative and governance reforms in

the State Higher Education System which currently enrolls over 96% of the students.

The Scheme will be implemented through the Ministry of Human Resource

Development (MHRD) with matching contributions from the State Governments. The

provision of funds under the scheme is shared between the Centre and the State in

the ratio of 60:40.

Rashtriya Uchchtar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), a reform driven scheme was

launched in the year 2013. The State of Andhra Pradesh has been a participant ever
