Board of Governors

Since Model Engineering College (MEC) is an Institution under IHRD, Govt. of Kerala, the governance of the institute is done as per the rules framed by IHRD. The decision making bodies in IHRD are the Governing Body and the Executive committee which has got control over all IHRD institutions. However in order to streamline the activities of various Engineering Colleges in IHRD, exclusive Boards of Governors were constituted for each institution. The Board of Governors (BOG) for MEC was constituted as per the order of the Director of IHRD numbered EA3/17887/2016/HRD dated 15.12.2016.

The principal functions of the Board of Governors are:

• To approve the mission and strategic vision of the institution, long-term business plans and annual budgets; ensuring that these meet the interests of stakeholders including students, employers, local communities, government and others representing public interests.
• To ensure the establishment and monitoring of proper, effective and efficient systems of control and accountability (including financial and operational controls, risk assessment and management), clear procedures for managing resources including for example, handling internal grievances and for managing conflicts of interest.
• To monitor institutional performance and quality assurance arrangements, which should be, where possible and appropriate, benchmarked against other institutions nationally and internationally (including accreditation and alignment with national and international quality assurance systems.)
• Enable implementation of all academic and nonacademic institutional reforms,
• Ensure compliance with guidelines of the regulatory body (AICTE) and statutes of the affiliating University
