Resumé

 The case study of an institute upgrading to a Deemed University is analyzed in this work, and reported with more generic treatment. Though various initiatives reported have largely been a reactive response to the mandate of Deemed University framework, many situational corrections have been undertaken with strategically planned interventions firmly in place. Analysis of the case institute (name with-held because the institute remains in public (government) sector even after upgradation, and grant of autonomy), has been prescriptively built around the Joseph Juran quality model. The circumscribing objective of this work is to count how quality may be institutionalized in an academic setup. Cognizance is driven from AUM model – the acronym meaning as Alignment, Utilization and Metamorphosis, to elucidate the hierarchical progression of learner for excellent performance. Need of inculcating excellence is emphasized in this work. Keywords: Faculty quality, SWOT analysis, AUM-TQM model, excellence, deemed university
