Abstract
Having trust is crucial to all categories of institutions, including colleges and universities. Typically, with autonomous institute establishing the trust in academic evaluation process is major challenge. To maintain credibility in the examination system, it is essential to exert efforts to comprehend and evaluate trust. Though modelling the trust in organization is attempted in research, no major attempt is made to model the trust of evaluation process of academic institute. This paper attempts to explore the usefulness of model of Organizational Trust of Mayer et.al to evaluation process executed at self-financed autonomous college. The Mayer et.al trust model, having ability to construct a context specific trust model, claims to understand the trust in organization. In context of trustworthy evaluation process, the paper elaborates the selected trust model with reference to direct and indirect practices associated with examination at institute to build trust.
