Background
Strategic planning is a process in which future goals are determined together with the stakeholders and both responsibilities and resources are allocated in accordance with these future goals.
It is a process between the point an institution stands presently and the point it aims to reach in a given period of time. The concept of strategic planning is closely related with the concept of vision.
In the process of strategic planning, some of the fundamental questions that would be addressed are
“Where are we now?”, “How can we reach our desired goal? And “How can we evaluate our success?
As a medium of administration, SWOT analysis is used in making a plan, defining a problem and also identifying a solution for it, making a strategy and giving an analytic decision. It is a tool for auditing an institution and its environment. It is a first stage of planning which helps to focus on key issues.
The role of SWOT analysis is to do a self-diagnosis and separate it into internal and external issues.
SWOT analysis determines if the information indicates something that will assist the institution in accomplishing its objectives or if it indicates an obstacle that must be removed or minimized to achieve desired results.
As part of the TEQIP II preparation, Ministry of HRD mandates each participating institution to perform a thorough SWOT analysis on the institution and its constituent departments.
Having seen success in TEQIP I, JCEM now evinces interest in further participating in TEQIP II to
“Scale up the quality and quantity of intake into its PG and PhD programs”.
