es that this is indispensible for the purpose of
quality grading of the higher education institutions and any attempt to eliminate this
attribute will result into incorrect grading. The Rough Set analysis also generated
two rules from heuristic method. The
'
as Core attribute signi
first rule establish that
If (Effective Learning and Teaching = excellent) then
(Grade = excellent).
This rule indicates that if
'
Effective Learning and Teaching
'
is
'
excellent
'
then
the resulting grade of the institution will also be
'
excellent
'
. The strength (or
accuracy) of this rule is 72.73 %.
Similarly, second rule states that
If (Effective Learning and Teaching = poor) and
(Administrative Setup = poor) then (Grade = poor).
Thereby, indicating that if
'
Effective Learning and Teaching
'
is
'
poor
'
and also,
'
Administrative Setup
'
is
'
poor
'
then the resulting grade of the institution is also
'
. The strength (or accuracy) of this rule is 66.67 %.
In other words, the interpretation of second rule implies that the condition
attribute
poor
'
'
Administrative Setup
'
must be poor along with
'
Effective Learning and
Teaching
'
in order to grade the institution
'
poor
'
. It must be notices that Condition
Attribute
'
Administrative Setup
'
is second most signi
cant attribute of the dataset
containing nine condition attributes.

Timely availability of information

,
'
Implementation of decisions

and
'
Quality of support staff

Timely availability of
information
refers to quick, accurate and timely distribution of critical information
to various stakeholders of the education system. This has different meaning for
different persons, for example there is plethora of information such as examination
date sheet, results declaration, shortage of attendance, change in class time table,
change of guest lecture venue, new eligibility norms for admission, Campus
placements, training schedule, sponsored research etc. which has different meaning
for different persons. Similarly, speedy implementation of decisions is equally
critical in a tightly packed academic schedule. Delayed decisions regarding stu-
dents, faculty and support staff may tarnish the image of the institution and brings in
a typical bureaucratic organizational culture.
'
refers to the
non teaching, administrative and ministerial employees who perform range of
service like typing, accounting,
'
Quality of support staff
'
finance, purchase, laboratory staff, engineering
wing, transportation services and much more. Any compromise on this parameter
may derail the education institution and cripple the academic functioning alto-
gether. Moreover, there is tendency in institution to cut down the operating
expenses and shift the administrative task to faculty who is primarily for research
