The 360-degree evaluation for faculty as suggested by AICTE is a multisource feedback tool designed to provide an assessment of faculty in the following areas: self-appraisal, contribution to society, teaching and institutional service. The purpose of 360 feedback is to facilitate self-improvement by identifying specific behaviours and relative strengths and weaknesses that can be modified or further developed. As this kind of evaluation mechanism is getting implemented for the first time in education system, it is important to understand the perception of faculty members who shall be subjected to evaluation on the parameters and weightages proposed by AICTE. This research paper is an attempt to understand the views and opinions of faculty members on this proposed 360-degree evaluation system.
