Nominations for G S Sanyal Faculty Excellence Award (GSSFEA) 2022
Established by IIT Kharagpur Alumni Foundation (USA)
Introduction - The G S Sanyal Faculty Excellence Award (GSSFEA), instituted by the IIT Kharagpur Alumni Foundation (USA), is awarded each year to a faculty member of the institute, based on his/her contributions to the students through student related activities, such as social and cultural activities, technology, innovation and/or entrepreneurship. The purpose of the Award is to recognize a faculty member for going out of the way to help students in academic, social or other matters representing the best of legendary Prof. G. S. Sanyal. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IIT Kharagpur Alumni Foundation (USA) and IIT Kharagpur is already in place. The current document describes the broad eligibility criteria, as well as the selection process.
Eligibility
- All permanent faculty members are eligible for the award, provided he/she has been a faculty member of IIT Kharagpur for at least 5 years in one or more academic units.
- The nominee must have made a significant positive difference in the lives/careers of a group of students.
- Institute norms would apply for all the factors being considered.
Selection Process
- Dean, Faculty of Engineering & Architecture (FoE&A), will announce the beginning of the nomination process for GSSFEA every year on the website of the IIT Kharagpur ( www.iitkgp.ac.in ) in the first week of May of every year.
- Any current student or alumnus of IIT Kharagpur may nominate a current active faculty member for the award. For this, a group of 5 students/alumni will have to jointly propose a nominee (using FORM 1). The whole process will be a well-coordinated effort whereby the lead proposer (student or alumnus) interacts with 4 others (student or alumnus) who have been helped by the nominee and feel that he/she deserves to be proposed or nominated for the award. The lead proposer also connects with a current faculty member or an Ex-faculty member (Seconder) of IIT Kharagpur, who is ready to vouch for the achievements of the nominee.
- The lead proposer then sends directly the duly filled-in FORM 1 to the Dean, FoE&A (deanf@iitkgp.ac.in), copying the rest of the members (4 other proposers + 1 seconder) and keeping alumni@hijli.iitkgp.ac.in in the loop.
- After verifying the details in the FORM 1, an email will be sent to the Lead proposer confirming nomination, along with the FORM 2. The lead proposer and 4 other proposers will then complete FORM 2, each of them citing 2 mutually exclusive reasons (one of the reasons must be on outside class room activities). The lead proposer then send directly the duly filled-in FORM 2 to the Dean, FoE&A (deanf@iitkgp.ac.in), copying it the rest of the members (4 other proposers + 1 seconder) and also keeping alumni@hijli.iitkgp.ac.in in the loop.
- Subsequently the Seconder evaluates the reasons cited in FORM 2, and confirms at least 40% of the cited reasons, if not more, and sends his/her confirmation directly to the Dean, FoE&A (deanf@iitkgp.ac.in) copying alumni@hijli.iitkgp.ac.in
- Dean FoE&A would thus have 10 mutually exclusive reasons or criteria [along with the Seconder?s confirmation of at least 4 of them], in favor of each of the nominee being proposed, out of which at least 5 reasons or criteria would be on outside class activities, to judge the suitability of the candidate for the award.
- Dean FoE&A, after reviewing, will send all valid nominations to the Selection committee members. The committee will shortlist and rank a maximum of three (3) nominations, which will be sent to the Director for final selection of one (1) awardee
- In case no nomination is received: The selection committee will work as Search Committee and identify 1 or 2 deserving faculty members and recommend to the Director citing all reasons, for final selection.
- The Director will review all the recommended nominations and make the final decision. If needed, he/she may choose to review all nominations received.
- The award shall be duly reported to the Board of Governors.
