Markov analysis of academic performance of students in higher education: a case study of an engineering institution

This article analyses essential factors that can affect the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure in higher education. There is a general lack of research on providing the general criteria for infrastructure that could be used as guidelines for education institutions. Higher schools usually develop their own infrastructure based on experts’ advice or delegate this task to the private IT companies. The article aims to investigate how users’ demands influence higher education ICT infrastructure. Therefore, the university-wide students’ demands that affect not only their academic performance but also particular activities are epitomized in the paper. As a case study, the ICT infrastructure of Kaunas University of Technology (KUT) was investigated in order to determine how university e-services fulfil the students’ demands. The research showed that some KUT e-services comply with specific students’ demands, while the others are universal and widely applicable. On closer inspection, it was inferred that not all demands are supported by e-services in the university as only the general information about a particular service is provided.

Master Programme

This paper examines the effectiveness of Master programs run in Prithivi Narayan Campus (PNC) from both financial and academic perspectives. None of the programs is cost effective. Overall, cost recovery rate is very low, and cost of higher education measured in terms of cost per student is relatively high. None of the Master programs excepting the Sociology and Anthropology (will henceforth be mentioned as Sociology) is financially sustainable. Academic performance in terms of pass percent is not satisfactory. Thus, this paper will provide T.U. authority the valuable information for right course of future decision to make the Master programme more effective in its constituent campuses.Key Words: Master programme; Financially sustainable; Prithivi Narayan CampusTribhuvan University JournalVol. XXV, No. 1, 2005Page:91-110Uploaded date: 26, September, 2010
