Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Acharya?

Acharya by L2M Campus is a faculty partner for Indian universities and colleges. It brings nine services together: verified faculty hiring, a Professor of Practice marketplace, Industry Connect for faculty consulting and projects, AI-ready upskilling, a recognised teaching credential, an AI copilot for faculty, verified faculty records, retention analytics, and year-round reward points, awards and rewards.

How does Acharya help colleges hire faculty faster?

Acharya Hire keeps a pool of faculty whose degrees, experience and UGC or AICTE eligibility are already verified. Colleges receive a shortlist of eligible candidates with demo-lecture assessments instead of a pile of unverified CVs. For Principal, Dean and Vice-Chancellor roles, Acharya runs a structured leadership search.

Can Acharya help us meet NAAC and NBA faculty requirements?

Yes. Acharya Passport keeps every faculty member's qualifications, experience, FDP hours and publications verified and current, and shows faculty-student ratio, cadre ratio and PhD share against NAAC, NBA and NIRF expectations. Gaps show up months before an inspection, not during it.

How can a college retain its best faculty?

Faculty usually leave because of workload, no visible growth, no recognition, pay gaps or isolation. Acharya addresses each one: Copilot cuts paperwork, Academy and Certified create a career ladder, Rewards recognise excellence, Pulse benchmarks pay and flags flight risk early, and Sabha connects faculty with peers.

How is Acharya different from free AICTE ATAL faculty development programmes?

ATAL FDPs are valuable one-off programmes. Acharya builds on them with structured multi-level tracks, measured classroom outcomes, a recognised credential, and records that feed promotion and accreditation. Acharya can also host and complement ATAL programmes rather than compete with them.

Is Acharya free for faculty?

Creating an Acharya Passport, applying for jobs and being nominated for Acharya Rewards awards are free for faculty. Institutions pay for hiring, programmes and the campus subscription. Some individual certification tracks may carry a fee, which is always shown upfront.
