Quality assurance
Internal Quality Assurance Cell
The IQAC provides a participative, ongoing system for quality enhancement, institutional review and academic excellence.
Introduction
A sustained approach to quality
In line with NAAC’s post-accreditation quality-sustenance guidance, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell is embedded in the institutional system to advance continuous quality enhancement.
Its prime task is to develop conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in overall institutional performance. It channels institutional effort towards holistic academic excellence, rather than operating as a separate hierarchical or record-keeping unit.
