Explanatory note for Tables II (a) and II (b)

1. All universities / colleges will set up verifiable systems for the API related information
required in these tables within THREE months of notification of these regulations. They
will have to be documented and collated annually by the Internal Quality Assessment cells
(IQACs) of the universities / colleges for follow up by the universities / college authorities.
In order to facilitate this process, all teachers shall submit the duly filled-in Performance
Based Appraisal System (PBAS) proforma to the IQAC annually.
2. However, in order to remedy the difficulties of collecting retrospective informations and to
facilitate the implementation of these regulations from 2009-10, the API based PBAS will be
progressively and prospectively rolled out.
3. Accordingly, the PBAS based on the API scores of categories I and II as mentioned in these
tables is to be implemented from the year 2009-10, initially based on the existing systems
in universities / colleges for one year only with the minimum average scores as depicted in
Table II (a) and II (b) in rows I to III. This annualized API scores can then be compounded
