Development Plan (1992 – 1996) and the 8 th Higher Development Plan (1997 – 2001). The potentiality and competency of the university will also
be studied. Quantitative and qualitative data, after being analyzed, will be used for the Development Plan of the university in the future. The result of the study
is total number of new students are lower than the targets 45.42 percent and 9.5 percent in the period of the 7 th and 8 th plan respectively. The graduates
production in the 7 th and 8 th plan period is analyzed from the number of graduates that were lower than the targets 24.93 percent and 27.28 percent
respectively. Moreover, 35.26 percent of the graduates were employed in the period of the 7 th plan and 67.48 percent in the period of the 8 th plan. This was
the result of the economic crisis during the 8 th plan which caused the reduction in employment. In addition KMITNB has founded 8 new organizations in the
period of the 7 th plan. In the 8 th plan, there were 3 new organizations founded. The number of officials have raised from similarly during these two periods.
Further, it was found that in the 8 th plan, the university could earn more research fund than the 7 th plan period 66.23 percent. It was also found that during the
8 th plan, the university had provided more academic services to the society than in the 7 th plan period 383.86 percent. The increasing number existed in all
types of academic service especially testing. The comparison of achievement in the 7 th Higher Education Development Plan and the 8 th Higher Education
Development Plan indicates that King Mongkut s Institute of Technology North Bangkok has paid more attention to develop the plan since the 8 th plan
period. It could be seen from the greater emphasis placed on the petentiality of the university when the targets were set. However, due to the economics crisis
during the early 8 th plan, work performance of the university is much lower than the targets set in some areas.
