11.1 General
Considerations
- All Members of the Review
Team will promptly write those parts of the
report, which the Chair had assigned to them.
- The Chair with support
from Member-Secretary will finalize the
report, reflecting collective views of the
Team without naming any individual.
- Final report would
include all those major points, which were
made during the exit meeting with the Chief
Executive Officer.
- The report should not be
repetition of self-study reports, but it
should be a professional, constructive and
objective evaluation, pointing towards
institutional strengths, challenges and
improvements.
