Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)
NAAC recommends that all accredited institutions create an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance measure in accordance with its Action Plan for Performance Evaluation, Assessment, Accreditation, and Quality Upgradation of Higher Education Institutions. The institution’s quality assurance committee (IQAC) will integrate into the system and strive to achieve the objectives of quality maintenance and improvement as improving quality is an ongoing process. The main goal of the IQAC is to create a framework for the deliberate, systematic, and catalytic enhancement of institutions’ overall performance. To that end, it will focus all of the institution’s activities and actions during the post-accreditation period on advancing its comprehensive academic excellence.
