Abstract:

The aim of the study was to measure the effectiveness of infrastructure in private technical educational institutions. This is a descriptive type of research. The data has been collected with the help of a structured questionnaire. The sample size for the study is 85 comprising of the faculty members of a well reputed institute in North Capital Region, Haryana, India. The sampling technique used is random probability sampling. The analysis has been done on Microsoft Excel with the help of graphical representation of data based on the frequency of responses, Correlation and Regression analysis techniques. The institute has a quality infrastructure as it is based on AICTE model to a large extent. The paper concludes that the institute provides all the necessary and sufficient facilities to the faculty members like a well equipped and standardized communication cell, satisfactory recreational facilities, spacious & well furnished faculty / staff rooms, facilities for doing their academic work, well equipped library, hygienic toilets, spacious parking facility, while the institute’s Wi–Fi facility needs to be well channelized for the faculty members.
