ABSTRACT
Faculty is the cornerstone of the education system. Their adequate size, and their continuing
development produce the expected performance on key success parameters like Admissions, Pass
Percentage, Placements, and Salary Packages. But, the poor quality of engineering graduates
coming out of the educational institutions these days is a pointer to the serious issues with
faculty size and their development. The stewards of the institutions are still not fully convinced
about the faculty size and their continuing development, as attested by the poor quality of the
graduates coming out of the engineering colleges.This research article attempted to establish a
link between faculty-related initiatives, i.e., faculty size, their higher qualifications, their
continuing development, and their individual learning efforts, and the institutional and student
success parameters.
Findings: Total Faculty Size is indispensable for all success parameters, i.e., Admissions,
Placements, First Division Pass and Salary Package. Actual Working Faculty is a consideration
for Admissions only, but not for Placements, First Division Pass and Salary Packages. Same is
the case with Doctorate Faculty. It has some relation with Admissions only but not with other
success parameters. The Number of Articles published and Presented has some relation with
Admissions but not at all with other parameters. Same is the case with FDPs attended by faculty,
which has some relation with Admissions but not with other parameters.
Originality: The link between faculty development initiatives and the institution’s success
parameters was not properly investigated in this part of the world; this absence of literature
presumably holds back the investments in the faculty development.
