Capability Maturity Model Integration Within The Admission Processes Of Academic Institutions In Pakistan

One of the important foundations of any society is the education provided by the universities to the students. ere are various levels of educational institutions from IV league to ordinary colleges. e gradation of these institutions is very informal and need proper mechanism to assess them and improve their standards. ere are national bodies' setup in our country for the purpose of assessment of quality assurance such as HEC and PEC but many of the institutions, they do not go for external audit of the process implemented within the institution. is research aims to assess the processes in renowned institutions, measure their level of maturity for improvement where feasible. In this research paper three models have been presented; Documented Model, Actual Model and Proposed Model. e “Admission Processes” of two renowned institutions have been chosen for the purpose of assessment. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) has been used to measure the maturity level of the Actual Model. Weaknesses in Actual Models were identied and solutions have been proposed to upgrade the institutions' Admission Process Level. e main focus of this research is on the existing “Admission Processes” within the institutions and how to improve them using CMMI. Our analysis shows that proposed model with CMMI level-3 removes the major weaknesses and upgrade the institutions' Admission Process Level. Analysis shows that after mapping Admission Process of Educational Institution-1 and Educational Institution-2 onto the process areas of Capability Maturity Model Integration it has been found that Maturity Level of Educational Institute-1 is 32.04% and Maturity Level of Educational Institution-2 is 39.54%. Maturity Levels of both Institutions are near to Maturity Level 2. Model has been proposed with Maturity Level 3 for both institutions which is graded as good and rated at 60%. After the practical implementation of proposed model, the Maturity Level can be further improved to 4 and 5, which are graded as excellent and ideal respectively.
