II. Key Performance Indicators

Focused on achieving the One Institutional Goal (OIG), that is “RMTU shall attain SUC

Level IV in 2017 accredited as a premier university in Central Luzon and recognized in the

respective IPCRs on the KPIs of these instruments. Resources must be optimized towards

achieving the OIG.
