IQAC – Internal Quality Assurance Cell

Continuous enhancement and sustenance of quality

The College has established an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) to ensure the continuous enhancement and sustenance of quality within the institution. The primary objective of the IQAC is to develop a systematic approach for conscious and consistent improvement in the institution's performance. It comprises representatives from all key stakeholders, including parents, staff, students, and management. The IQAC serves as a central coordinating body, directing efforts and measures towards achieving academic excellence and holding the institution accountable for its quality.

Furthermore, the IQAC is responsible for disseminating information about quality benchmarks and higher education parameters by organizing seminars and workshops. It also maintains systematic documentation of various college activities and prepares an Annual Quality Assurance Report for submission to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).

The IQAC, led by the Head of the institution, includes heads of important academic and administrative units, along with select teachers, distinguished educationists, and representatives from the local management and stakeholders. The effective feedback system implemented by the IQAC plays a crucial role in guiding policy-making processes to adapt to changing circumstances and ensuring ongoing quality maintenance within the institution.
