APPENDIX- D

RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES FOR CONSULTANCY

1. Institutions should actively encourage and support the faculty in taking up consultancy (and testing) work. Teachers should actively liaise with industry to attract projects, particularly those which have elements of industrial problems solving, student involvement and educative value.

2. There wold not be any limit n the quantum of consultancy work a teacher can take up or the remuneration he can earn, so long as this is done with the concurrence of the Competent Authority and without prejudice to the other duties and responsibilities of the teacher or to the interest of the institution and the students. While working out the fees/charges for carrying out the consultancy project, suitable methods of estimation should be used. These would include either -

a) Fixing a percentage of the total cost of project, as in the case of Architectural projects, Structural Engineering design projects etc. or

b) Estimates worked out on the basis of required man-hour input at different levels and expenditure to be incurred on purchase of materials, use of outside labor, use of outside consultants, computer charges etc.

Suitable charges for overheads up to 15% should be added to the cost estimated as above, to cover indirect costs such as use of electricity, building space, stationery etc. This amount should go to the revenue account of the institution.

3. There are two major types of consultancy assignments generally undertaken by faculty. Type-I involves


16

participation of a teacher or group of teachers who use institutional infra structural facilities such as workshop, laboratories, computers, etc. for the work. Type-II involve participation of teacher(s) without using any institutional infrastructure. In both cases, there generally is some direct expenditure involved consisting of purchase of material, use of our side labor/expertise, etc.

4. A suggested pattern for the sharing of the net revenue (after meeting all expenses and remitting the 15% overhead to the revenue account of the institution) from consultancy work is as given below:

Consultancy Project of Type-I

a) 50% to the Development Fund of the Institution

b) 50% to be shared by the team involved with the work including supporting staff.

Consultancy Project Type II

a) 30% to the Development Fund of the Institution

b) 7-% to be shared by the team involved with the work

5. The Development Fund share should be placed at the disposal of the Head of the Institution for use towards the development of the institution and its facilities, subject to normal procedures.

6. The disbursement of all the remuneration should be the responsibility of the Head of the Institution. To facilitate this, the requirement in some Government Institutes to have the revenue deposited in the treasury first should be done away with. Such a requirement should be only with the respect to the 15% share going to the revenue account.
