The Academic Office exists to help facilitate, initiate and co-ordinate the academic work of the Institute, particularly the teaching and assessment of students. It acts as the repository of grades and academic records of all students, both past and present. It provides administrative support to the Senate, which is the highest academic body of the Institute.

The Head of the Academic Office is the Dean of Academic Affairs, who is a senior professor of the Institute. The Dean is helped by a permanent administrative set up. Academic Office closely interacts with the Dean of Student Welfare ( DOSW), who looks after all non-academic activities of students.
