Establishment of Internal Quality Assurance Cell

In pursuance of the Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and quality upgradation of higher education institutions, the NAAC proposes that every accredited institution should establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post accreditation quality sustenance measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of an institution’s system and work towards realizing the goals of quality enhancement and sustenance. In view of this, IQAC was established in the year 2012.

The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic improvement in the performance of institutions. The IQAC will make a significant and meaningful contribution in the post accreditation phase of institutions. During the post accreditation period, the IQAC will channelize the efforts and measures of an institution towards academic excellence.
