Given the importance of consultancy, efforts will be made to integrate it with research, teaching and training. Consultancy also must be coordinated with the alumni. It is for this reason that consultancy and alumni wings will be established and strengthened at the School level, giving necessary incentives to the departments and faculty for undertaking consultancy. Consultancy also will be localized. To begin with, the School will be asked to organize the various service wings of the University, before going to the industry and society requesting them for consultancy. Confidence, quality of the service and sticking to the time schedule will all be adhered to as the basic principles of consultancy.
