The current trend is through taking student feedback, but there is much more that a member of the faculty has to perform / achieve than just teaching. This could include being a mentor, a leader, updating on knowledge, awareness of current market scenario, etc.
Parameters that could go into designing an appraisal system for educational institutions should focus on --
1. Brand value of the institution
2. Feedback from the students and other members
3. Comparative analysis with other institutions
4. Quality level of the Faculties of the institution
5. Number of research activities (e.g. papers published, articles authored, patents registered, etc.) undertaken by the institution
6. Social activities undertaken by the institution to foster a climate of educational cooperation with other institutions and society
7. Participation in national level activities for improving education at the macro level
8. Level of Infrastructural facilities available at the institution
9. Affiliation with international/national educational organizations
10. Conduction of conferences, seminars and linkages with industry - academia focus and consultancy activities undertaken. Focus on the number of interactions with other institutions.
