THE VFSTR MANUAL

Vignan's Foundation for Science, Technology and Research (VFSTR) (Deemed to be University) Manual-2025 (or) The University Manual-2025 is a revised version of its earlier edition brought out in the year 2020. This revised University Manual has taken into account all the relevant instructions on the Institutional Governance given by the statutory bodies such as UGC, AICTE, PCI, ICAR, BCI etc., with a comprehensive chapter dedicated to each segment of Governance.

This mammoth exercise of revision of VFSTR Manual has been taken up in the right earnest with a view to incorporate many changes that have taken place over the last four years.

Conscientious efforts have been made to include all the relevant information pertaining to various Offices, Departments and Directorates under different chapters for easy understanding and to serve as a ready reckoner for all the staff.

Every effort has been taken to include all recent statutory Regulations and Notifications as amended from time to time. In addition, all changes in academic and administrative governance, including the formation of Schools and establishment of new Directorates/ Departments with their attendant responsibilities, have been duly incorporated so that the staff will get a first-hand information on various domains of Governance of VFSTR for easy assimilation and strict compliance.

I expect every staff of VFSTR to go through the VFSTR Manual-2025 in its entirety and acknowledge as a token of having read the manual. All the newly joined faculty will have to read the Manual during the first week of their reporting to the campus and give an undertaking of having read the manual in writing to the Registrar's Office before they are sent for FOP/FIP as the case may be.

The Salient features of VFSTR Manual-2025 are given below:
