Consultancy Process
Research & Development Department (RDD) in the university will be the nodal agency for any consultancy activity in the university RDD. It will be the custodian of all documents for consultancy. Any staff, department or faculty may initiate the ground work and explore such possibilities. After the basic ground work it should be reported to RDD who will put it on their record. RDD will do the initial survey/preliminary inquiry and put up the matter to the VC who may form a team for further discussion with the client or he may himself discuss it with the client.
After the negotiation and on arrival on agreement an Agreement Form will be initiated as per the format given at Appendix A by the RDD. The format gives just the guidelines. It may be changed at the description of the Vice Chancellor. It will be signed by the client and Registrar on behalf of the university. The payment received for consultancy will be deposited by the client/RDD in university bank account as per terms of the agreement.
In case of faculty and/or university staff going for chairing an expert session, expert discourse on behalf of the university agreement form will not be raised. Money received from such consultancy event will be deposited in the university Account Section.
Any contingency expenses incurred in respect of consultancy project will be met from the funds received from the same consultancy project. The fund left after deducting such expenses will be considered as net gain from the consultancy work.
The net gain as worked out (Money Received from the client minus all incidental charges incurred for the consultation work) will be divided in ratio of 60:40 i.e. 60% of the gain will be paid to the faculty/staff who worked for the project and 40% will be retained by the university. University will plough back the share received by it in developing facilities to improve consultancy infrastructure.
Consultancy work done by the staff will be entered in the Appraisal Report of the staff and will be given extra weightage in arriving Performance Index.
After completion of the consultancy work a detailed report will be submitted by concerning staff in writing to RDD in which he should mention complete details of work, resources of university used resources from outside, results and feedback of the second party for whom the task was undertaken.
