INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM (IQAS)
The Internal Quality Assurance System (IQAS) has been established in our college as per the guidelines of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). This is a structured mechanism aimed at fostering a culture of continuous quality enhancement and sustenance across academic and administrative domains. It serves as a catalyst for conscious, consistent, and catalytic improvement in the institution’s overall performance. By implementing systematic quality measures, it ensures efficiency, transparency, and accountability in institutional processes while promoting research, innovation, and excellence in teaching-learning practices. IQAS focuses on integrating a quality-centric approach into all institutional activities to meet evolving academic standards and stakeholder expectations.
This system is being operationalized through the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of the college. IQAC formulates quality assurance strategies, including formulating yearly IQAS, incorporating benchmarking, setting goals to be achieved during the year and facilitating the preparation of the Academic Calendar. Moreover, monitoring regular meetings of the statutory committees, following PBAS, Feedback, automation, organizing seminars/ conferences based on cross-cutting issues of national importance, organizing social awareness programmes, and conducting programmes under ISR have been done. Monitoring MIS and LMS, conducting SIP, AAA, NIRF, AISHE, ISO, and the timely submission of AQAR is IQAC’s contribution to institutionalizing quality assurance strategies and processes.
The institute has evolved a comprehensive mechanism, academic and administrative audit procedures and practices to review and document periodically the teaching-learning process, structure, and methodology, to take mid-term corrective steps through IQAC to ascertain its efficacy and continuous improvement in learning outcomes.
