Structural equation modeling for analysing the impact of quality of administrative practices in higher educational institutions

The impact of quality is measured through various standards in higher educational institutions of India. These standards are evaluated by the higher educational institutions by self evaluation at different levels and it is also assessed by external agencies. Application of different administrative practices have been associated with the quality of higher education. There is lack of quality because all the policies and standards are adopted to the maximum the process of quality achieved is not adequate and permanent. Even-though accreditation provides quality assurance that the academic aims and objectives of the institution are honestly pursued and effectively achieved by the resources available, and the institutions may demonstrate the capabilities of ensuring effectiveness of the educational standards during the validity period, the lack of quality is estimated using structural equation modeling technique. In this paper Impact of quality of some important administrative practices called quality standards such as vision and mission, leadership and governance, faculty recruitment and qualification, infrastructural facility and curriculum adopted and how it is applied is evaluated using SEM model.
