 360 degree feedback, also known as  ‘multi-rater feedback’, is the most comprehensive appraisal where the feedback about the employees’ performance comes from all the sources that come in contact with the employee on his job. An appraisal made by the top management, immediate superior, peers, subordinates, self and customers is called 360 degree appraisal. This method is very reliable because evaluation is done by many different parties. These parties are in the best position to evaluate the employee or manager because they are continuously interacting and working with him. It is also used to evaluate other qualities such as talents, behaviors, values, ethical standards, tempers, loyalty. The aim of the study was to assess the level of knowledge on 360 degree performance appraisal among faculty and to associate the level of knowledge of faculty on 360 degree performance appraisal with their selected demographic variables.
