Line 55:
*A suitable metric has been proposed which computes a score under each sub-head. The sub-head scores are then added to obtain scores for each individual head. The overall score is computed-based on the weights allotted to each head. The overall score can take a maximum value of 100.
*The committee recommended the classification of institutions into two categories:
:*'''Category A institutions:''' These are institutions of national importance set up by Acts of Parliament, State Universities, Deemed-to-be Universities, Private Universities and other autonomous institutions.
:*'''Category B institutions:''' These are institutions affiliated to a University and do not enjoy full academic autonomy.
