The Academic Excellence Award was introduced by the U.P Technical University with a view to promote quality and excellence in professional education. The excellence model used is a non-prescriptive framework based on ten criteria. Five of these criteria are ‘Enablers’ covering what an institution dose and five are ‘Results’ covering what an institution achieves. The excellence model is based on the CAR-MAP logic consisting of six elements namely Commitment, Academic processes, Resources, Motivation, Academic results and Placements. Thus the criteria for the Academic Excellence has been designed to be comprehensive covering all facets of an academic institution.

The academic Excellence Award process includes holistic assessment of select Institutions by a assessment team comprising eminent Professors from IITs and senior executives from industries. The participating institutions include both Govt. and self financed colleges. Based on assessment by the inspecting team, the jury comprising of eminent academicians and industry personnel decides the final ranking/position of institutions.

The jury for the academic year 2007-08 had also ranked Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College as the Best Engineering College and the College was the First College in UPTU to receive the Academic Excellence Award Trophy.
